“ Did Ire not make several visits after the patient was out of danger 3'

This was the question ofa lawyer in cross-examining a witness called to prove a doctor’s bill inoue of our justicc's courts a couple of rlays since. ‘No,’ re: plied the wittness, ‘I thought the patient 1005 in danger as long as the doctor cori- tiirucd his visits.

OUT or THEIR IIEAIIS.— Smith and Jones are fast friends and hard drinkers The other night, on going to their room. with their respective ‘ kags‘ full as usual, Jones remarked to his friend on the pos- sibility that they might be drinking more than was good for them. After some discussion, Smith agreed with him, and then they mutually resolved to quit-— swear off—give it up for good. With this resolution firmly made they went to sleep. Early in the morning Smltll awakened by a gurgling sound, Bud then he discovered Jones sitting up 111 bed with the whisky bottle to his lips. throwing it in like herb dr‘ipk. Ex, claimed Smith with indignation, ‘Do you remember our pledge ?' Jones. trying to think—‘Did _we swear off, through E' Smith, rcIenting soon as he smelt the whisky, Certainly, last night, you know, as we went to bed.’ Juries, suddenly recollecting—‘Ob, yes, to he sure ; but then, Smith, (another pull)l'am afraid we wasn't quite ourselves lust night? Tableau.--'l‘hey take a drink, being invin- selves again.

His nrnx'r xxow H was nuns.— One of the municipal laws of Corinth, .\Iiss., forbids the running of railroad trains through the town “faster than a walk." Not. long ago a freight train on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad was con- siderably behind time, and the engineer determined to dash on through Corinth without stopping to shake hands with the inhabitants. The municipal author-

ties saw the flying train pass with aston- shmcnt and indignation, and on its «:turn the engineer» was arrested for

iolating a city ordinance and was duly arraigned before the mayor. ‘ Were you the engineer of the train which dashed by here yesterday without slacking up ?' asked the mayor. ,‘I was,‘ said the en— gineer. ‘ And do you know that it is against the law for a train to pass through a city at such a speed as that F' I did,’ replied the steam-horseman ‘ but I’ll be ifI knew t re us any city here.‘ 'I‘Iiceiigineer‘wen up' raboutamonth's wages.

French scientific men predict that the summer of eighteen hundred and sixty— sevcn will be cold and wet. like eighteen hundred and sixty-six, and they base the prediction on the fact that immense masses of ice have broken, or about to break, away from the extreme north, and will drift to warmer seas, where they will melt, producig cold and vapor.

A little wrong done to another, is s great injury done to ourselves. The se- verest punishment of an injury is the con. noiousncns of havingdonc it.

Fur. no u): rlt is to be taken for igratiled that il(\\\l'\'r'1' late tlvvsranon. lilt‘ manure has been iiuirlr-ri out. and except ‘nmull quantities Ior rich mm nut for en» pecial purposes: or the l't‘t‘t'li accumula- \ions of fertilizing "\IlIt'I'IHI the barn

yards and manure sheds are quite cieaucdl

|out. IIarns at the liast at least have been woefully empty for two or three months. and ought long ago toliavc been swept and (learned of buy-de and litter ‘of all kinds. Old hay and straw compact-

|Iy packed at one side. yet convenieme ‘cornc-st-able,aud the whole establish-

ment put in order for the coming crops. If this has not been done, do it the first rainy day. .

Uultlc drills, cou’ byrcs and calf pens are empty now, for the. most part. and it is a good time, and good wet weather work: to lift the floors, renewing them, cleauing and drying the beams and sills, painting those parts where wood becomes moistened by manure, when quite dry, with hot coal tar, sanding thoroughly before relaying the floors. Make gutters at the same time to carry 03‘ the liquids. These should be one part cement and three of good sharp, clean sand. The more time cement gutters, floors or walls have to harden before frost, so much the better.

Pas!urcs.—-Look to the water supply in pastures. Nothing dries up ‘tlic foun- tains ofimilk like ii lack of water. See also that the grass is not fed off too close, for any min may be the last for some weeks. and their permanent damage would be sustained by ovenstockcd land.

Mowing larch—Early iii the month it is usually well to go through the mea. dows end pastures, and pull or cut up with a spud the rankcst of the weeds, or those most damaging to the grass and buy.

Clover, if cut early when just coming into blossom, and given a light dressing of plaster or of airy fine compost, wiII,-if the stools are strong, rush a vigorous second growth, and ripen a paying crop ol‘sced. Every farmer might raise his own clover seed in most parts of the country.

Ifdying will begin in favored spots— wa.rm, moist, sunny meadows—and there are many meadows which it is worth while to cut early, in order to get (bit‘ much out of the way before the mail) crop of grass is suffering from cutting. Such are especially thosenrvzrdows which you can rely upon for a {good :rfter-ruuth. t‘iit close on thick sods. but not on thin or up n ones. (‘ut with the Ili‘dt‘lllllc when the dew is all of the grass: and if a ladder is riscd,kecp it in motion through the grass all the time, after it has lain about an hour; the more the grass is tos- sed and aired the quicker it will dry. Rake it up while the sun is still very but, having all in winiows before four o'clock, and leave it. in cocks big enough to retain the beat well into the night. A good part will need hiit very little sunning the next day, and ought usually to be .«imva opened and shaken up alter the dew is oil" and the ground is hot. Where mowing machines and hay tcdders can not be used, eut wirilc the dew is on, turn once, rake up while warm, give the cocks a daily airing and warming, but do the curing ufthc hay in the cocks, leaving well made to shed rain and to hold the heat of the bay. Never let any dew fall on the loose hay.

Carin—Early maturing kinds will do very well planted the first. week in June; soak in warm writeriintilit nearlysprouts then stir it about with a little previously warmed pine tar until every kcrnal is coated, then sprinkle with plaster or limc.

IIocr'ng.——Tlre use of booing is not only to kill the weeds, and a clean field is of- ten an unproductive one, but the tho- rough working nud stirring of the soil is equal to a dressing of manure on land in poor heart. Tire use of mere wecders and surface worgcrs effect but little except the destruction of the weeds. Itis most useful to cultivate deeply, and the one horse plough discretely used between the rows, not to bill up too much, but to mellow and work the soil before the roots get into it, is preferable to any of the cultivators. These implements are most useful after the roots begin to fill the soil more. First the barrow, then the plow, last the cultivator. This doctrine ap-~ plies equally to corn and potatoes, Fre— quent and thorough stirring by horse power so as not to hurt the roots, will insure good crops on any good soil.

Root Urops.~—Carrots, and parsnips, and beets, may be sowed as late as early in June with fair success. Rutsbagas are preferably sown about the 20th in good deep soil, well manured and dressed with bone dust or super-phosphate of lime.

White Field Beans may be planted any time during this month. It is best to put them in drills. Blue pod or White Mar- rowfst are good varieties, the latter much the largest, the iorrncr yielding the surest.

Green Forage Crops.—-Inrlian corn, sown in drills about two feet apart, is probany the most reliable crop for fur- nishlng green fodder during the summer. The cost of the seed is an item which, of itself, may deter farmers from rising it extensively, especially when Sorghum will do nearly as 5well both for green and dry use. Mill’t d Hungarian grass if cut before tbe‘sefi ripens, afford good. fodder also, and \ do well on soil some- what exposed to drought. Peas arid oats together maybe served even in June for cutting and during an hay or feeding green. This crop requires a good well mellowed soil, but is not especially ex- hausting. The seed requiredis about two bushels of each kind to the acrc.

Animals of all kinds must have clean airy quarters, or in hot weather they will be exposed to lung diseases from exhala- tions of fermenting mnnrrrc. etc. Use plaster freely in stables and fowl houses to arrest ammonia ; dry soil is almost equally on good.
