FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Sulphur for Dallies.
The Dairy says that sulphurous acid
is a most effective antiseptic and anti
ferment, and may be produced by
burning sulphur upon live coals upon
a shovel or a bed of coals carried into
a stable with perfect safety. It will
also be found an excellent method for
freeing dairy rooms and collars from
the spores of mildew, which have a
very injurious effect upon the milk
and upon butter or cheese made from
milk that has been exposed to them.
In fact, from constant prevalence of
these spores it might bo useful be use
ful to make a practice of fumigating
dairies occasionally, especially after a
bad, damp spell of weather during the
summer season.
Kill In;; Wds u till Kerosene.
After trying all ways to exterminate
Canada thistle and that next worst
enemv of tho farmer, plantain, says
an Erie county, Penn., farmer, 1 dis
covered that kerosene oil is a certain
remedy. Sonic may think my method
tedious, but at best w hen you wish to
get rid of a patch of either pest, dili
gent work is indispensable. Early or
late in summer, when the ground is dry
and weather settled, is the time to
make the application. Take an old
fruit can, solder on oner side a handle,
then whittle a pine stick round about
two feet long; now dip the stiek into
the oil and touch the plant or thistle,
allowing a few drops*to run down the
stalk; it will follow on down and cover
every root if enough is used, and the
result w ill reward any person who has
pride in keeping from lawn or field
two of our worst weeds. If the
thistles are very thick, a few may es
cape, which you will have to kill an
other year, but at worst two seasons*
work will whip them ah.
Fattrulug Sivlnr.
It is generally conceited that there
should be no standstill period in the
correct system of feeding, but that
growth ought to begin with young
p'.gs and be steadily and continuously
increased until the animal is ready for
the butcher's block. While everybody
nearly accepts the "no standstill" sys
tem as correct in theory, most farmers
in reality keep tlieir jugs during the
summer months on very meager ra
tions, waiting until cold weather to
begin feeding with a view to fatten
ing.
Growers who practice the plan of
making most of the summer season by
regular feeding, testify to the decided
advantage of this system. In very
cold weather, unless the hogs can be
well housed and kept at a temperature
of about 60 degrees, what the aninud
eats goes to keep up the heat, and the
food fails to produce the same amount
of fat it would in warm weather.
There remains no question but that it
pays to provide warm, comfortable
houses for swine during the winter
season in rigorous climates.
The excessive fat gained by exces
sive feeding of fat-producing food is
objected to by many consumers, who
prefer a larger proportion of lean
with the fat. The Lice Stock Journal
says on this subject that the hog is
naturally a grass and root-eating ani
mal, but in its domestication, being
fed almost wholly in this country upon
concentrated food, has come the habit
of depositing this excess of fat. If
young pigs are kept upon food that
will grow the muscles and bones and
develop a rangy frame they will, in
the opinion of the authority referred
to, possess so much muscle when half
grown that a moderate length of time
in fattening, even on corn, will not
pile on an excessive amount of fat
Pigs fattened in Canada partly upon
barley, but largely upon peas—a highly
nitrogenous food, yielding a large
proportion of muscle—produce more
lean meat than do swine fattened al.
most wholly upon corn—an excessive
ly starchy and fattening food— New
York World.

A CITY'S AMBULANCE SERVICE.
How New York Provide* for Accident"
nnd i'nsunlties.
To some of the down-town police
precincts the ambulances are called
often half a dozen times in a single
night. It is then that tho great crop of
drunks is reaped and that nearly all
the lighting and murdering is done
By day accidents to workmen and peo
ple in the streets engage the attention
of the hospital surgeons. The ambu.
lanee horses stand all day and night in
a Dutch cellar ready to turn out at a
moment's notice. Under the driver's
seat is a little drug storo containing
tho essentials in emergency treatment.
Frequently the rail comes over the tire
wiros twenty strokes of the bell and
the number of the La \ where tho am
bulance is wanted. It starts from the
nearest hospital. Rarely the ominous
twenty-live notes spells out the mes
sage: "Send all the ambu
lances in the city," as it did the
day when the Riverdale blew up. Then
a iace for life and death takes place
from up town and from down town,
| for which all other traffic must give
way. The ambulance, like tho mail
wagon, has the right of way every
! where.
In the lighting precincts, l\x h.
Sixth. Eighth, Fourteenth, all below
Houston street, the hours between 11
at night and 'J o'eloek in the morning
| arc usually the busiest, particularly on
: Saturday nights. On Sunday mornings
j the term is stretched a couple of hours
1 till daylight in honor of the excise law.
In New York satan works hardest
when the churches are open, and idle
ness and rum are his tools. * A police
sergeant's life is not a sinecure in these
precincts. His responsibility is great,
: and usually he is not willing to take
' chances. Too mauv fatal mistakes of
*
I judgment are on record. Any wound
j on the head or bad looking cut is cause
; enough to discard the doorman's sur
gery for the doctor's. It the "subject"'
is a prisoner or refuses to go to tho
| hospital, the police sugcon is sent for.
; Unconscious cases almost invariably
bring out the ambulance. The single
; word, "poison," added to the message
! from head-quarters spells at the hospi
tal the sentence, "Bring the stomach
pump, and hurr\ up." And they hur
ry. Not long since an ambulance or
the way to the scene of a reported aeci
dent ran over a man on Third avenue,
stopped to pick, him up, and returned
with two patients instead of one.
Tho sick-wagon, by contrast, comes
at leisure. All urgent cases are for
the ambulance, and it cannot refuse
them. Transfers from oue hospital to
another can be made afterward. AYitli
sick patients it is different. Usually
they can wait. They belong, as th ( ,
case happens to be contagious or not,
under the board of health or the de
partment of charities and corre tion.
if they have not the means to einpho
a doctor of their own, as they seldom
have. The "sick cases" come from thf
tenements, the lodging houses and tin
streets. If the patient has been lea*
than five years in the county he is rc
fused by the ambulance and the sic!
wagon, and ttie emigration depaU
ment's wagon comes after official d< Ir.-
of sometimes many hours to take tl\
"ca-e" to Ward's Island.
The recently established night medi
cat service has provided a most usefv
and welcome expedient in such case*
by putting into the hands of the police
the means of bringing immediate re
lief. while insuring to the doctor hN
pay. Of the twenty odd persons bene
fited by the service in one month nc'
one was able or willing to pay for th<
help rendered, but left that to the city
at the rate of $3 a c?U.— New York

Poisoned Arrows.
At a recent meeting of scientists ir*
Paris, an interesting communication
was received from M. AV. ,1. Hoffman
regarding the methods employed by
North American Indians to poison
their arrow points.
The Comanehes simply pierce the
green shell of the "Spanish bayonet'
or yucca angustifolia with tho pointv
The Apaches (Uayoters, sic ) bruise up
the heads of rattlesnakes with deer's ;
liver, allow the mass to become putrid )
then dip the arrow points, and allow
them to dry slowly. The Cliinouns
(Moquis of Arizona) irritate a rattle
snake until he bites himself, and then
dij) the point and a portion of the
wood of the arrow into the blood of
the animal. A wound with one of
these arrows generally proves fatal in
three or four days, and its action is
much more rapid if the stomach of
the wounded person is empty at the
time the injury is received.
Another poison is obtained by irri
tating bees, shaking the hive, and then
killing them when in this state with
small branches bunched together. The
insects are crushed up in a mass
with mortar and pestle, and the arrow
points are dipped in the magma. It
is probable that the active substance
in this case consists in the forriae acid
contained in the bodies of the bees.
This preparation does not cause death,
but induces long continued sickness.
Another very active but not fatal
poison is prepared from red ants. It
produces pain in the pharynx, consider
able swelling ol' the part injured, an I
sometimes delirium. The patient re
mains feeble for a month.
Roast owl was esteemed a delicacy
in a recent Paris menu.

Our fellow passengers are well worth
studying. First conic the men of bus
iness going to Yokohama, as is their
daily custom. These men are dressed
in foreign clothes, and many of them
understand some foreign language,
English or German. They are mostly
an intelligent looking group of men.
Besides these somewhat forclgnized
natives, we have the real genuino
native article, with nothing foreign
about him excepting his hat. Hats are
very generally worn, unless it is a rainy
day, when they are left, at home and
the wearer goes bareheaded. The Japs
are peculiar. On a cold, rainy day
they go about with their skirts caught
up to tin ir waists, aud the water all
streaming down their bare legs. Their
dress must, lie saved, even a' the rost
of some personal inconvenience. In
the car we can see this native dress; a
loose robe with no buttons, but folded
over the breast and fastened with a
sash. This is the drcos of the men as
well as of the women. Some of the
dresses are very rich indeed, being
made of beautiful silk. One-half is
longer than the other, which allows
for being pulled up above the sash, and
then hanging down in front making
a pouch. This is the pocket where
nearly everything is carried. At the
bottoms ol' the large, square sleeve
there are pockets also. Suspended
from the sash is a little box and a
leather wallet. Sometimes these arti-
Yles sre exquisite and very costly. The
box contains the toboceo pipe and tho
wallet contains tip* tobacco. The box
is frequently made of ivory or bronze,
finely worked. Japanese tobacco is
very mild. The average American
would disdain to use it. Mild as it is
but little is consumed at one time.
The whole amount of tobacco imbibed
would not be equal to one puff of a
strong cigar. But the almost universal
practice here is to draw all tho smoke
up, expelling it from the nostrils in-j
stead of from the lips. Women smoke
as well as mCD.

that she could not recover. We tried doctors
and medicine \ and although lutter at times

to use the urinal as many as fifteen times in
a night, and was growing wo'se daily. At

Shall We Let the Child Die?
A hard-hearted political economist, looking at a pale and puny child
feebly gasping as it lies upon a pillow, says that the child might as well
die. It is so weak and poor that its life will never be worth much anyhow.
There are already a good many people in the world who are of not much
account anyhow. And what's the use of adding to their number another
weakling, who has but slender chance of ever amounting to anything?
Now ask that child's mother what she thinks about letting the child
die. About this time the hard political economist had better get out of
(he way. "Let my ckild die? No I No! •'As long as there is a remedy to
be found that imll save that child, the child shall not die! I'll spend my last
dollar to save the child!" Well, try a bottle of BROWN'S IRON BITTERS
on that child. See the poor little fellow pick up strength. He revives.
lle will live. Hosts of other children have been brought almost from death
to healthy life by Brown's Iron Bitters. Your druggist sells it,
