FLAX STRAW. How to cut it. How to cure it. To farmers of Adams and adjoining conties, who desire to harvest their Flax crop to lhe best advantage, I will osier the following advice: Cut your Flax earlier than you have been accustomed to. Have no fear about your seed not being ripe. It will matura to better advantage after it is cut than if it was growing. Use a mowing machine * cut close to the ground; let it lay for two or three weeks. It will not mould or; ' sprout while laying in this condition more than if it was standing in the ground. When your seed has matured and you I wish to lake up your flax to house, stack ! or take ofl' the seed, use a horse rake, in ■ the early part of the day when the dew is ■ on. Kake up about as much as you can take care of the balance of the day. If I you wish to take the see-1 off, clean a piece of ground about twenty feet square, near your flax field. Commence tramping or rolling about 10a. tn. and you'll get off your seed as fast as one team can haul it from the field. Stack your straw neatly While your horses tramping, if you are going to have A rain storm, cover your seed heavy with tramped straw. !>o not Mt « throhin// innehine to tints efl thf seed. 1 buy unwillingly lots of flax seed, al $1 and $5 per tun. Datk colored or swathrotied, and gieen straw that is spread out to rot, will tie the most desirable and the highest price. The curing or rotting can be done on the fatm. It will not cost in labor over fifty cents per ton and will be worth $. per ton more than unrotted when brought to the [factory. Price ftoni $3 to $6 per lon. I will not buy wet straw nor weeds. All in formation in regard to curing and rotting i flax straw will he given at the Glory. Farmer, having Inst year's crop will find i market for it at the factory. THOMAS F. MY LOTT, Prop r.

DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA, AUGUST 25, ISBI.

Indiana. Laporte is determined to have a new railroad. Howard county has $51,203.59 in its treasury. Kosciusko county has a population of 26,494. Elkhart is making an attempt to establish car works in that city. Michigan City and Laporte are connected by telephone. Crawfordsville consumes four thousand loaves of bread per day. Grain is being marketed in Anderson at the rate of 20,000 bushels a week. The army worm has introduced his wormship into parts of Huntington county. Kendallville pays to the teachers of the high school at that place $4,200 in I salaries. Uriah Heck, living near Goshen, I lost his barn last week by fire, the result of lightning. Chas. Tate, a young man employed in a spoke factory in Fort Wayne, had his hand sawed off last week. Our exchanges of last week bore tidings of the great storm and the ■ damage done in different parts. The railroad property in this State ' is assessed at $43,279,000 being nearly five millions more this, than last year. The Brush Electric Co. propose to illuminate Indianapolis, as an experiment, within the uext ninety days. A sanitariun has been established at Silver lake Kosciusko eounty. The water is said to contain many healing properties. Antioch is treated to a lively melee every pay day, the participants being the workmen on the railroad shops at that place. Four hundred dollars have been subI scribed to connect Bloomfield to Washington by telephone and telegraph lines. Lewis Shutt of Huntington county, threshed 1,007 bushels of wheat from 37 acres, the average yield to the acre being 27 bushels. The Wabash depot at Churubusco was entered recently by burglars and a lady's trunk relieved of about $2.5 worth of valuables. Blue river township. Franklin county, has voted an appropriation of $28,000 in aid of the Evansville, Kingston & Toledo R. R. The widow of the late Senator Oliver I’. Morton, of Indiana, is at Great Bear lake, Minn, with her two sons Oliver and waiter. James Carroll, a lad of 14 years, was recently run over and killed at Michigan City. He ran away from his home with the above result. One of the peculiar freaks of the terrible lightning of this year was the killing of thirteen head of sheep in Elkhart county while pasturing in a field. Near Vincennes there are several excellent medicinal springs, and the wonder of it is that their owners have not developed them to the attention of the public. Carrie McCoy, of Charleston, has sued Thos. Gray, of Jeffersonville, for $19,000 for breach of marriage contract. The plaintiff is reported as beautiful and accomplished. Carl Harlem, a thirteen-ycar-old lad who lives at Osgood, had the sight of one eye entirely destroyed by a handful of lime thrown into his face while playing with a vicious lad of the place. The new Presbyterian church of Wabash, now nearing completion, is one of the most beautiful structures of that city, and would be considered a splendid ornament to any city in the state. David Vanatta, of Warsaw, has been appointed guard of the Northern prison in place of Parson of Wabash, who resigned. The selection was made by Mr. Leopold Levy, of Huntington. The Corner's jury in the ease of Mrs. ' Cleveland, the saloon-keeper, who was shot by her lover. Staners, at Chicago, recommended that he tie held for the murder. He has been removed to the county jail. A short time since Mr. William Hackney, in Wabash county sold fiftywalnut trees, of ordinary size, to a Marion dealer in lumber, receiving $1,335 for the same. The trees stood on five acres of ground, making the ground worth to Mr. Hackney $267 per acre for the timber alone. A Shout IV>ad to Health.— To all who are sufiering from boils, ulcers, scrofula, carbuncles, or other obstinate diseases of the blood and skin, a course of Burdock Blood Bitters will be found to be a short road to health.

Farm and Garden. Grasshoppers are destroying the oat i crop in parts of Berks County, Pennsylvania. The outlook in Nebraska for corn and small grain was never so promising, and farmers are happy. Between the drought and the caterpillars in Georgia, corn and cotton will, it is said, suffer heavily. The chinch bug is reported to Ire doing serious injury to the wheat crop in certain sections of Minnesota. There is no crop raised that yields so large an amount of food and with so little labor as Indian corn. Crickets and grasshoppers are the only enemies of wheat and barley that have appeared in California. Near Des Moines, lowa, a small black or light brown worm lias appeared. and is eating everything green. The county papers in Pennsylvania are asserting that the whortleberries in many portions of the State are infested with a poisonous bug. Grasshoppers have appeared in the Indian Territory. They were small, but came in immense numbers, have healthy appetites, and are heading tor Texas. The wheat crop east of the CascadtT mountains, Oregon, will be nearly 100,000 tons. The surplus for export" will be from 30 to 40 per cent, greater than last year's. J. R. Shaffer. Secretary of the lowa State Agricultural Society, in his July report, estimates the decrease in the corn crop of this year over that of last year at 60,000,000 of bushels. The United States Agricultural Department states that the acreage of potatoes in the country is two per eent greater than last year, and the crop is reported in fine condition. There is a grapevine at Dayton. 0., the steam of which is 124 inches in circumferance, its foliaga occupying a space 45 feet long and 20 feet wide. It is thought its yields this year will be over SGO pounds of fruit. Statistics show that the annual consumption of eggs in the United States is about 10,600,000 barrels. The ponlularity market d or eonsumol is estimated at 680,00 J,OOO poun Is, valued at $68,000,004. In South Carolina the protracted drought has seriously injured the corn, and a half crop even is impossible. The average crop of the State is put at sixty-five per eent. In Lexington farmers have suspended farming operations and gone to cutting cross ties. A farmer who has had much experience in draining land, says that when quicksand or unsounded ground occurs drains should be cut wider and in some cases deeper, with their sods tramped down along the bottom before either tiles or stone conduits are inserted. Sods thus placed always admit water freely and the substrata, in consequence soon become very solid. The lowa Homestead says that L. Harbaeh, who recently bought the Jersey cow “lowa for S2OO, considers her cheaper at that priee than any ordinary eow at S4O. He sells a half gallon of milk daily, makes one pound of butter, and uses all the eream and butter he needs in bis family. She gives three gallons of milk per day, which if sold at current prices, would yield him $5.18 per week, or $269.36 annually. An exchange tells of a farmer who 1 loughed an acre of lather poor soil ' and in the furrow he laid cornstalks * lengthwise, and so on till the whole | was ploughed. Ou another acre he i burnt the same amount of cornstalks | and spread the ashes, the whole field i being then planted with corn. The j latter portion started much better than , the first, and during the early part of , the season was a good deal ahead, b it ; the latter part of the season the first . portion went ahead, the result being that the cornstalks brought off the best crop. Jackson and the Bricklayer. Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln always had a soft side for the toilers, and a liking for working clothes—in which, many times, no doubt, both the great Presidents would have felt happier than in stiff -reception” broadcloth. Jackson's sympathy for laboring men is shown in this little story from the Nasvville Banner. John Cryer, a mason, was on several occasion* engaged to build chimneys at the Hermit tgc, and while at work often observed the refined and wealthy people of Nashville coming to visit the general aud his wife. The good mason, having more or less mortar ornamenting his clothes, would say to Jackson that he “would not go to the first table to eat;” that he “was not fit to appear in such elegant company.'' The general always replied, ‘ You

i must go to the first table, sir; laboring I men ought to be as highly honored as any men in the community, for the support of the world depends on their labor. 1 will see that you are treated with proper respect at my table.” This story is certainly to the credit of Jackson's democracy, however it may be to his social graces. Cryer, frequently, laughing, said that he had been more honored than any man in the world, for President Jackson had frequently waited on him and brought him brick and mortar when his regular ! attendant was out of the way. Blushing at Will. The London Telegraph has this for the girls: It is not every maiden in those prosaic days who can summon the “telli tale blood” to her cheeks at will, or sii lently revolt by an opportune roseate flush those inward feelings to which many young ladies experience such difficulty in giving verbal expression. But. as the value of the blush as a highly effective weapon in the feminine armory is still universally recognized by the sex, although it would appear to have somewhat fallen into desuetude, French ingenuity has been at the pains of devising a mechanical appliance for the instantaneous production of a fine natural glow upon the cheek of beauty, no matter how constitutionally lymphatic or philosophically unemotional its proprietress may be. This thoughtful contrivance is called “the ladies’ blushing bonnet," to the ' side ribbons of which —those usually tied under the fair wearer's chin—are attached two tiny but powerful steel springsending, in rounding pads, which are brought to bear upon the temporal arteries by the action of bowing the head, one exquisitely appropriate to modest embarrassment, and, by artificially forcing the blood into the cheeks, cause them to be suffused with “the crimson hue of sham at a moment’s notice. Should these ingenious head coverings become the fashion among girls of the period, it will behoove young men about to marry to take a slv peep behind the bonnet strings of their blushing charmers immediately after proposing, in order to satify themselves that tbe heightened color by them in terpreted as an involuntary admission of reciprocated effection is not due to the agency of a carefully adjusted “blushing bonnet.” The Wheat Crop in Russia. I j Washington, August 9.—Minister Foster writes to the department of the state, under date of July 18, 1881. that the Russian wheat crop is likely to be one of the largest ever raised in I the empire, and that the export prom- ! ises to be much greater than usual. It I is stated that in districts tributary to ' the port of Odessa the yield is likely , to be so large that the farmers think I they could dispense with the harvests j I for four years to com:. Advices from I Taganrog and Caucuses show that the ' promises of the crop are equal to that I of 1874. which was one of the largest ■ ever known tn Russia, and advices from Moscow affirm that it is thought the harvest in southern Russia will be the largest they have had for twenty years. The harvest in central Russia, while not so enormous, will yield a splendid crop of excellent quality. In the southern provinces the wheat is al ready cut. Further north it is still I ; subject to damage incident to bad weather and insects. From Moscow, I which is the great commercial centre I of Russia, it is reported that all branchI es of business arc beginning to revive | . o o and flourish, after a long season of depression. solely on account of the pros- ' ]»ect of an abundant harvest. It will l | not be without practical political in- j ■ fluence also, for much discontent in ' the interior has resulted from hard | times and short crops, I Noting the Effects.—R. Gibbs, of I Buffalo, N. Y., writes: “Hearing your ; Burdock Blood Bitters favorably spoken I of, I was induced to watch their effects i and find that in chronic diseases of the ' blood, liver and kidneys, your bitter.s have been signally marked with sue- ' cess. I have used them myself with best results, for torpidity of the liver; [ and in the case of a friend of mine i j suffering from dropsy, the effect was ■ ' marvelous.” Price SI.OO, trial size 10 j cents. Beps of Down Feel Hard.— All ' beds feel hard to the rheumatic. Then harken ye peevish sufferers! Apply ! Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil to your ach- i ing joints and muscles. Rely upon it ! that you will experience speedy relief. Such, at least, is the testimony of those who have used it. The remedy is likewise successfully resorted to for throat and lung diseases, sprains, bruises, etc.

Insurance against Neighbors, i Human nature is the same the world I over, as the following incident will I help to show. A Danbury insurance agent called on two of his customers, whose premises adjoin, for a renewal of their policies. The first one is a grocer. The agent said to him: “I suppose. Mr. , that you will renew your policy, which expires next week? I have called to see you about it." ■ Well, I suppose 111 have to.” said the grocer. “As far as I'm concerned, there is no need whatever that I should I insure. I am here all Jay to look as- I ter things, and there ain't a bit of danger of fire from my place. But there's no telling what that fellow next door will do. and as long as he's there I've got to keep insured." The agent called on the customer next door, who is a baker. He could not help reasoning that if the danger in the establishment was so great there was a possibility of having the amount of his policy doubled, at least. He told the baker why he called, and hinted that there might be a probability of a desire to increase the policy. “No," said the baker, scratching bis head thoughtfu ly, “I don't believe I ll add any to it. I wouldn’t insure at all if I wasn't where I am. You see I'm up all night baking, and can wateh things, so there’s no danger here, but there’s no telling what that chap next door will be up to. If it wasn't for him I would not insure a cent. But as it is I've got to do it." Where Banging Began. [Columbia (S C.) Register.] It has often been a subject of wond- j erment to us where our pretty girls got I the notion of combing their front hair down over their foreheads and cutting | off the ends so as to make the inch and a half of hair which they keep hanging down nearly to the eye brows, and which is irresistibly associated in j our minds with an imperfectly sheared mule's tail. The mystery we solved to our satisfaction last night as we dropped into j Dr. Jackson's. The doctor received from New Zealand yesterday among quite a variety of ferns and mosses, and other curiosities from that semibarbarous land, the picture of two Ma-ori-H.atives of that country-a boy and a girl-and the latter had her back hair ; all looped upon the top of her head , 1 and stuck through with white-tipped | turkey feathers, and the front hair I J I hauled down in front, the ends mingling with the eyebrows. ii So, it is from the New Zealand sav- ’ ages, and not from the North Atneri- I I can Indian squaws, ladies, that you ' . copy the fashion. •.Nuff-sed." —— — A Cheap Hammock. Take a piece of Manilla matting from two to three yards long and a ' yard and a half wide, bind or hem the ' ends firmly, then fasten each end to a piece of timber. These pieces should be five feet long and two inches thick, ' and should have holes bored about I : 1 i three inches apart the whole length. ; 1 The matting is fastened by passing | 1 heavy twine from matting to hole, back , ' and forth, really sowing the matting to | the wood. For each end ol the piece ’ of wood larger holes are bored to which , ’ pass through ropes to hang the ham- , * mock between two trees. This makes : * a cheap, comfortable and safe ham- ' mock. Being hung from four corners ‘ < there is no danger of rolling out. and i half a dozen children can swing in it t at pleasure. ] A BaptistMinistfr'sExpf.rience. —I am a Baptist Minister, and before j I even thought of being a clergyman, i i I graduated in medicine, but left a lu- ' crative practice for my p esent proses- , j sion, 40 years ago. I was for many years a sufferer from quinsy; ‘ Thomas' Eelectric Oil cured we." I was also , troubled with hoarseness, and Thomas' I Eclectric Oil always relieved me. My ' wife and child had diphtheria, and “Thomas' Eclectric Oil cured them, and if taken in time it will cure seven times out of ten. lan confident it is , i a cure for the most obstinate cold or . cough, and if any one will take a small | j teaspoon and half fi 1 it with Oil. and ; , I then place the end of the spoon in one ■ nostril and draw the Oil out of the ' 1 spoon into the head by sniffing as hard as they can, until the Oil fills over in'to the throat, and practice that twice , ! a week. I don't care how offensive their , head may be, it will clean it out and : cure their catarrh. For deafness and : earache it has done wonders to my certain knowledge. It is tbe only me i cine dubbed patent medicine that I have ever felt like recommending, and • I am very anxious to see it in every , ; place, for I tell you I would not be without it in my house for any consideration. I am now suffering with a pain like rheumatism in my right limb, and nothing relieves me like Thomas' Eclectric Oil. -1 DR. E. F. CRANE. | Corry., Da.
