ride of 3500 miles west of the Missis-
sippl was over.
For the information of any of our
readers who have a desire to go West,
we want to say there is plenty of room
and plenty of chances out there. You
can travel there just as comfortably as
you can in the east. The railroads are
newer than ours, but their cars are just
as clean and comfortable and safe and
rapid as are ours. You can get just as
good a meal in the hotel car on either
the Northern Pacific, or the Great
Northern, for 75 certs, as you can on the
Pennsylvania for $1.00, The charges
at the better class of hotels is $3.00 per
day and for this very fair accommoda-
tions are furnished,
If you go to the North-west to raise
stock, go on to western Dakota or Mon-
tana, and be sure that you have enough
of money with you to locate and stock
your ranch and pay all expenses until
your stock is ready for market. If you
expect to do general farming, don’t go
farther west than Minnesota. If your
intention is to raise wheat, go to western
Minnesota or Dakota, but under any
circumstances take enough of money
with you to purchase your claim, erect
your house, stock and implement your
farm, and keep you clear until your first
crop can be marketed. Even with
this amount, you will have tough times
starting. Don’t under any circum-
stances go there and let western mortgage
companies get their clutches on you.
‘We cannot close this letter without
special recognition of the uniform cour-
tesies extended us by western railroad
people, generally, and particularly by
Mr. B. N. Austin, assistant passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific, and Mr.
F. I. Whitney, of the Great Northern.

Cruelty and Discipline.
“When Ismail Pasha, the extrava-
gant Kedive of Egypt, reigned over
that historical land,” said one, of the
notorious ruler, to a Chicago Post
correspondent, ‘he had in his garden
a large cage of African lions. Noble
brutes they were, and until the event
of which I speak I never tired of look-
ing at them.
“One day while walking with his
Highness in the garden, the keeper,
accompanied, by a pretty little girl,
entered, carrying a basket of meat to
the lions. The Khedive and I walked
towards the cage to watch the beasts
eat. They were hungry and pounced
upon their food with a fury that chill-
ed me, .
“Standing close by the ®age with
her hands resting on the bars, was
the little child, her long golden hair
at times blown by the breeze inside the
enclosure.
“Why do you permit your daughter
to go so near the lions ?”’ the Khedive
asked the keeper.
“Oh, replied the keeper,” they are so
accustomed to her they would not harm
her.
“Then open the door and put her
inside,’ said the Khedive.
“My blood froze atthe command, for
command it was. I tried to speak,
but could not. I was unable even to
move. The keeper, with the sub-
missiveness of those who know their
lives will pay forfeit if they disobey
their ruler, made with his eye a plea
of mercy. But seeing none in the
Khedive's face, he kissed the little
one tenderly, lifted her up, opened
the door, placed her inside, and as
the door swung to, he turned bis face
away and groaned.
“The little one, though she did not
stir, seemed not afraid. The lions
appeared surprised, and as the larg-
est and fiercest rose and walked to-
ward her I thought I should choke.
Happily the father did not see the
beast. The Khedive alone was un-
moved and stood gazing at the scene
calmly and with the curious smile I
had so often seen play upon his fea-
tures when watching the dance of a
ballet.
“This lion went up to the child,
smelled of her, looked at her for fully
half a minute, then lay down by her
feet and beat the floor with his tail.
Another lion approached. The first
one gave an ominous growl and the
second lion went back. The other
crouched low, and each second IT ex-
pected spring, but they did not.
“This continued, I think, about five
minutes, the {ion never taking his
eyes from the girl and ceaselessly his
tail lashed the floor.
“The Khedive by this time was
evidently satisfied, and turned to the |
keeper and commanded him to thrust
a live lamb into the cage through
another door, With a celerity I have
uever seen equalled the keeper caught
a straying lamb and obeyed. As he
did so every lion sprang upon the
Jamb.
“Take out the child I” the Khe-
dive commanded, and scare had the
words escaped him ere the keeper,
who had run to that end of the cage,
jerked open the door, snatched the
little one out and clasped her in his
arms, The Khedive laughed, tossed
the keeper a coin, and, taking my arm,
walked on.

Farm Notes.
It is maintained by some who have
made experiments in that direction
that the shading of the land, when it is
occupied by clover, promotes nitnfica-
tion in the soil, which gives an addi-
tional value to clover as a renovator of
the soil.
A new pasture will give better results
if the stock is kept out of the field until
the grounds is well in sod. It is a fre-
quent cause of pastures failing—close
cropping—and new pastures are not
only injured by close grazing, but also
by trampling.
Docility, vitality, early maturity
rapid development and fertility are
among the high qualities that consti-
tute value in the hogs kept for breed-
ing ; when these are found centred in an
individual of the species it don’t matter
so much about the breed. ]
Mare’s milk contains more sugar
than the cow’s milk—so E. W. Stewart
says—hence cow's milk for a young
colt should be sweetened. Ignorance
of the comparative quality of animal
milk is doubtless the reason why so
many young animals die when fed on
cow’s milk.
Barn-yards are bad leaks in farm
management. Thousands of cords of
manure are wasted in them from cou-
stant exposnre to sun, wind and rain,
And yet most farmers endure them just
as though there were no remedy. Man-
ure is needed on most farms more than
anything else, and yet nothing is wast-
ed with more readiness,
While the sheep are of great valuein
keeping down the briers, bushes and
weeds, it should also be remembered
that they are kept for other purposes as
well. Wool and mutton growing is
really the chief objects, in view, al-
though some farmers may be induced
to keep sheep for the good which
they do their soil and lands.
Economy in feeding is not trae econ-
‘omy if it is done by “attempting to re-
duce the allowance atthe expense of
production. Something cannot be had
from nothing, and animals will not be
productive if they are deprived of the
necessary materials pertaining to the
objects for which they are intended.
Feed liberally, but without waste.
The Farmers’ Call claims that the
only cure for gapes is to confine the |
fowls under a store box and introduced
under it a red-hot snovel on which
there are a few drops of carbolic acid.
Keepthe chicks in the fumes sixty to
ninety seconds—watch that they are
not suffocated. Try it on only one or
two ata time till you get your hand in.
It is the only sure cure.
A man who has spent many years
in lumbering camps, where many
horses were used, has proved to his
own satisfaction that watering the
horses immediately after they have eat-
en is the most frequent cause ot colic.
I have always thought it better to give
horse what water it wanted before it a'e
and to moisten its food ; then it is not
thirsty after eaten.
A few farmers may consider the
sheep a nuisance after they are sheared
and then turn them out into the
wilderness to find food in the wilds of
other sections. By so doing they rob
themselves of a great good. A poor
field could soon be brought upto a
high state of cultivation by placing
sheep in it. The flocks will soon free
such places of all briars and weeds.
Most varieties of pears are much
finer in flavor if picked from the tree
and ripened in the house, than if allow-
ed to become fully matured on the
tree. Change of color in the fruit, the
readiness of the stalk to part from its
branch on gently raising the fruit, the
ripening of worm-eaten specimens, are
the signs which indicate the proper sea-
son of gathering pears.
The Farmers’ Home Journal says:
“A scarcity of corn is always followed
by a scarcity of hogs, as farmers have
to rush theirstock off to save feeding
it. The next full corn crop then runs
the price of hogs to the top notch, as
everybody wants to buy to ‘stock up.
Good crops will make high prices for
hogs this year, and the farmer who has
held on to a good lot of brood sows in
luck.”
The value of a brood sow depends as
much on the manner in which she
cares for her pigs as upon her age and
size. Some sows are very negligent
of their pigs, while others unintention.
ally crush them. When a sow proves
herself valuable she should be retained
in preference to one that is better in
eertain respects but natried as a dam.
Flies and other iusects contribute
largely to the misery of stock in the
summer season. Horses’ tails should
never be cut, or they will be unable to
protect themselves. Itis almost im-
possible to make an animal fat if 1n-
sects are very troublesome. It will pay
to protect the animals at night by the
use of fly screens on the doors and
windows.
Butter can be produced at a cost of
12 cents a pound, according to the re-
sults of experiments made, but to do so
the silo mnst be used, the feed given
judiciously, and the cows must be of
the best, producing uot less than 300
pounds of butter per year. Cows that
produce {ess will inerease the cost ae-
cording to the difference in the number
of pounds below 300.
Sod land, when turned under, requires
time for the sod to rot, aad when’
crops are broadcasted on such land the
grass is sure to crowd out the crop. If
sod ie turned under in the fall, and
corn or potatoes planted ou the land in
the spring, the land will be in excellent
condition when the crop is harvested,
and may then be sowed to wheat. The
rule is to put some kind of crop on sod
Jand that requires cultivation, in order
to destroy both grass and weeds.

Chills and Fever, Malaria, and Ague.
In regular malarious localities there
is enough ofthe poison called malaria
generated to produce in all who are
not acclimated regular chillsand fever.
Pe-ru-na, in large doses, will break the
chills every time. In other localities
there is just enough malarial poison to
make many people feel indescribably
‘bad without producing regular chills.
There will be slight, "irregular, chilly
sensations, with flashes of heat and
cold, clammy perspiration, aching
bones and muscles, bad breath and sto-
mach, periodical headache or neural-
gia, nervousness, sleeplessness, stupor
and weakness. For this coudition Pe-
ru-na is a prompt and positive cure. It
rids the system of the poison, builds np
the flagging pewers, and brings back
appetite and sleep.» A few weeks’ use
of the wonderful anti-malarial remedy
produce suchjan entire renovation and
rejuvination of the whole hody that the
patient feels as if he was living in an-
other world.

Age Nor tHE CausE or Gray Hair.
—The members of a family in Wash-
ingdon, D. C., which includes two phy-
sicians, lose the color of their hair us-
ually between the ages of twelve and
twenty years ; while Mrs. Sally Davis,
of Kentucky, is cited by Dr.C. H.
Leonard, an authority on the hair, as
possessing soft brown, silky locks with-
out a silver thread among them when
over seventy years of age.
The hair usually becomes gray as
we advance in years is true, but the
active causes for this change must evi-
dently lie in the organism itself or in
the conditions to which it is subjected,
and not in the mere fact of increasing
years.
Ex-Governor Ames was once
asked to pay a physician $1,000 for ser-
vices which the wealthy patient did not
consider worth that much. But as his
niedical adviser would not reduce the
bill one cent, two checks for $500 each
were sent in payment, one distinctly
stating that it was for professional atten- |.
dance and the other ‘for extortion.”
The doctor framed the latter check, and
has it in view in his office to-day.
A Love Song In M Fiat.
“My modest, matchless Madeline !
Mark my melodious midnight moans ;
Much may my melting music mean—
My modulated monotones.”
This young man stayed out too late,
serenading his lady love. He caught a
cold, which developed into catarrh, but
be cured it with Dr. Sage’s Catarrh
Remedy, a soveregin specifle for chronic
cages, “Cold in the Head.” Catarrhal
Headace It corrects the tainted breath,
stops the offensive discharges, heals the
irritated throat and nose, leaving the
head clear; and smell and taste unim-
paired. It costs but 50 cents, and the
proprietors offer in good faith $500 for a
case they cannot cure.

money from me,” said Ardup, doggedly,
as he handed back the bill, ‘‘you’re

turnip.”
“Maybe not,” replied the man with
the bill, peeling oft bis coat, ‘but I'm
going to see if I can’t pound a little out

Broop Potson.—Is very liable to fol-
low contact of the hands or face with
what is known as poison 1vy, especially
in hot weather or if the body is perspir-
ing freely. The trouble may subside for
a short time, only to appear in aggravat-
ed form when opportunity offers. The
great purifying powers of Hood’s Sarsa-
parilla thoroughly eradicate every trace
of poison from the blood, as the cures it
‘has accomplished conclusively show. It
also cures scrofula, salt rheum and all
other affections arising from impure or
poisoned blood.
Pre SMokING IW ENGLAND. —The
pipe is very popular with Englishmen ;
it is probably so because pipe smoking
is cheaper than cigar. American tobac-
cos used to be in favor there, but they
seem to have passed out for the reason,
it is alleged, that granulated tobacco
blows and falls from the pipe, nearly ev-
ery Englishman smokes his pipe in the
street.
——For three weeks I was suffering
from a severe cold in my head, accom-
panied by a painin the temples. Ely’s
Cream Balm was recommended to me.
Atter only six applications of the Balm
every trace of my cold was removed-—
