Farm Notes.
—Wheat is being shipped from Mis-
souri and Iowa into Nebraska (strange
as it may seem), it being used to fatten
hogs.
—1In the fall the mower will kill the
weeds on fields that permit of its use.
Weeds may be cut down without injury
to young clover or other crops.
—When holding back a crop for
higher prices do so only with a knowl-
edge of the condition of the markets.
It is possible to hold back for a lower
price unknowingly.;
—Feeding wheat to hogs is claimed
to be selling the wheat at $1 per bush-
el, in the shape of pork. Atthe West-
ern stock yards hogs are now gelling
at a higher price per pound than steers.
—Gocseberries and currants may be
propagated from cuttings, but it is
easier to get them rooted by burying
the tips. This may be done now.
Make the ground soft and loose, and
they will root more rapidly.
—The Russian thistle is coming
East, as did the potato beetle, It is
now at St Paul, and will be carried
over the Miesissippi by the cars. In
fact, it bas already been reported at
Illinois, though in only one location.
—A stockman suggests that if there
are dogs about put a wide-awake cow
or two in the pen with the sheep at
night. If the cow has a young calf she
will do especially faithful service. A
billy goat would do the business pretty
well.
—Beets and carrots can be kept in
bins, packed in dry dirt. They should
be perfectly dry before packing, and if
exposed in a close place to the fumes
of burning sulphur they will keep a
year if the dirt in which they are pack-
ed is clean.
—When the farms are small they
are kept in better condition than when
there is more land than can be culti-
vated. It pays to put too much man-
ure on a small area, but it does not
pay to put a small quantity of manure
on a large surface.
—The farmer is ove who need nev-
er be out of a job, as there is some-
thing to do on the farm during every
month in the year. If a farmer can
find nothing to do then he is overlook-
ing many matters which should at-
tract his attention.
—An excellent way to “kill time” at
this season is to thoroughly examine
all the corners and hiding places ot
weeds and cut them down before they
can produce seed. Watch the open
fields and cut down burdocks, thistles
and every other intruder.
—Improper feeding leads to waste.
A ration may be entirely consumed
and yet but little thrift of the stock
will be noticeable, because the food is
not properly proportioned in quality.
A change of diet will be found better
than medicine when the animals do not
improve.
—The practice of giving condition
powders to stock is injurious. An ani-
mal needs no condimente or invigorat-
ing tonics, good food being sufficient.
Many of the condition powders on the
market contain antimony and sulphur,
which may cause rheumatism if given
during damp weather.
—When a crop is shipped away from
the farm 1t represents a certain amount
of fertilizer removed, which should be
restored to the soil. When the farm-
er buyes fertilizers he is simply put-
ting on his land something which he
expects to sell again in a difterent form
at prices which will pay him for his
investment and labor.
—1It is estimated that the average
value of the potato crop is about $50
an acre, while the value of grain
per acre is less than one-fourth
that amount. Potatoes sold during
this year, at certain times, for $1 or
more per bushel. We do not grow
enough potatoes in this country for our
use, and are compelled to import them.
They are the most costly of all foods in
proportion to price, as they are com-
posed very largely of water.
—The yellow locust is recommend-
ed as an available tree for growing
fence posts. They may be grown thick-
ly and thinned out as required. The
locust grows on nearly ali kinds of
soils, and will be found a valuable
crop on land that may not be adapted
ior any other purpose. There are
many varieties of {rees that may be
grown at a profit. But little revenue
will be derived for several years, but
the time will come when the trees will
pay well.
——After September has passed there
is a liability of sudden changes of
weather, and the stock will be affected
thereby, according to its condition.
The roofs of the barns and stables
should be examined and all leaks re-
paired. Dampnees does more harm
than cold. No animal will thrive if is
is compelled to remain all night on a
damp floor, upon which water drips,
even in moderate weather, and should
disease appear in one case it may af-
fect all,
—Many profitable crops are over-
looked simply because the farmer con-
siders that they require two much la-
bor for their production. It may be
stated as a truth that it is only the
crops that are laborious to grow which
pay best. Gardeners make large pro-
fits on a few acres only, but they are
compelled to give careful attention to
every detail, providing hot houses and
cold frames for certain plants. The
potato crop on the farm pays, yet itis
not a Spscialiy with some farmers. It
is the labor itself that pays—not the
crop—as the price of an article is large-
ly regulated by its cost for labor.
Anti-Toxine ana Diphtheria.
No scourge is . more dreaded in the
home circle than diphtheria, and the re-
cent discovery of a preventive, or reme-
dy in the early stages of the disease, if
all turns out that has been claimed for
it, will be one of the most important
medical discoveries since the vaccina-
tion of Jenner. The New York board
of health has just given to the public
its first report concerning the use of an-
ti-toxine for the prevention or cure of
diphtheria, and it appears that of a rec-
ord of 250 cases treated, when the in-
jections of the anti-toxine were made on
the first day of the appearance of the
disease, the recoveries were 100 per cent
and that 67 per cent of thos3 treated on
the second day recovered. The statis-
tics of the use of the remedy in Euro-
peat hospitals are also encouraging.
n the principal hospitals of Berlin the
mortality was reduced in diphtheric cas-
es from 40 to 138 per cent. and the latter
included cases in which the disease had
become established before the remedy
was applied. In the same hospital 72
children who had been exposed to the
disease were inoculated, and only eight
of those afterward had the diphtheria,
the disease appearing in a mild form.
In the Paris hospitals the average mor-
tality reported in 8,971 diphtheretic cases
was 52 per cent. This was in a period
of four years. For six months of this
year, with the anti-toxine in use as a
remedy, the proportion of deaths was re-
duced to 24 per cent. or more than one-
half.
It is not claimed that the use of anti-
toxine will prevent a fatal result after
the disease has become well developed.
But it seems to be established that the
injection of anti-toxine will overcome
and neutralize the diptheretic poison if
the injections are made at a sufficiently
early date. It is accepted as an effect-
ive safeguard for persons exposed to
diphtheria. It the remedy is applied
immediately after the appearance of the
disease it is almost as effective. But
with the disease well-seated, while it
may ameliorate the sufferings of the pa-
tient, it may not prevent a fatal result.
It is to be said these hospital experi-
ments and deductions, while not conclu-
sive, afford great encouragement.
The new remedy, it is explained, is
not vaccination, which is simply the in-
jection into the system of one poison to
prevent the entrance of another poison,
nor is it in any way dangerous or harm-
tul to the person treated. It is thus de-
scribed in brief :
The substance injected for this pur-
pose under the skin of human beings is
not diphtheretic poison, nor attenuated
culture of it. The toxines of true diph-
theria are applied to animals in the first
instance until by repeated applications
a substance is developed in the blood of
the creatures experimented upon hostile
to the diphtheretic poison, This sub-
stance is called anti-toxine. It is con-
tained in the serum of the blood of the
immune animal. The anti-toxine is
absolutely harmless, When adminis-
tered to the human subject it carries
with it the capability of counteracting
diphtheretic infection. If applied in
the early stages of the disease it insures
recovery.
The New York board of health, as in-
dicated above, is devoting great atten-
tion to the subject, and as rapidly as
possible the boards of health ot other
cities should be furnished with the
means of providing and testing the
remedy.
——1If you have not yet procured one
of those pretty watch case openers, get
one from your jeweler, or send to
Philadelphia. They are furnished free
by the Keystone Watch Case Company.
Besides making a handsome charm for
your chain, they save your finger-nails
and knife-blades. The Keystone Com-
pany is the largest of its kind in the
world, and makes all kinds of cases,
from the low-priced nickel to the most
expensive solid gold. Its great special-
ty is the Jas. Boss filled case. Jas.
Boss invented and made the first filled
case in 1859, and many of the cases
then made and worn since are still in-
tact. Later the Boss patents passed
ipto the hands of the Keystone Watch
Case Company, which has the sole
right to make these cases. Boss cases
are known to all jewelers as the stand-
ard, after which all other filled cases
are patterned. All Keystone cases,
Boss cases included, have the far-famed
Non-pull-out bow or ring. Itis the
only bow that is securely fastened to
the case, and can only be had on cases
made by this" Company. It prevents
loss of the watch by theft and injury by
dropping. These cases are handled by
all jewelers, as the Company itselt does
not retail.
In Nebraska a woman owns
and personally superintends a travel
ing steam thrashing machine outfit,
and goes about the country with it and
makes her own contracts. There are
two women captains on steamboats on
the Mississippi river, each one holding
a United States marine license as cap-
tain. One owns her own boat; the
other boat is owned by a company of
merchants. There is another feminine
captain of a steamer on Puget Sound.

Lord Rosebery says that as
soon as the story of his sleeplessness
got into the newspapers, after he enter
ed Gladstone's cabinet, he was deluged
with cures. One of the first, and what
seemed to him the easiest, was to sip
before going to bed a tumbler of hot
water. He tried it, and since has had
no further trouble of the kind.

Appomattox and Surrender.
Virginia Resents a Silly Change of a Historical
Name.
Public sentiment in Virginia revolts
at the idea of Appomattox Court House
being baptized by an order of the Post
Office Department as “Surrender ’
Appomattox should be its name for-
ever. But if a new name had to be
given it, we should not have chosen
that of ‘‘Surrender.” At Appomattox
our people did something more than
surrender.
‘Appomattox’ should have been left
to designate the spot where Lee made
his last stand ; the spot made sacred by
the valor, sufferings, and tears of the
Army of Northern Virginia ; the spot
which is the Appomattox of history,
and whose honors never can be
lawfully divided with a village whose
chief distinction is that people leave the
railway trains there to visit the Appo-
mattox. This we say without discredit-
ing the new county seat. Itisa pleas-
ant place, filled with pleasant people ;
but it is not the Appomattox Court
House. There is but one Appomattox
Court House, and it makes little differ-
ence that the buildings have been
burned and the county seat removed.
Besides, the name is now always short-
ened to Appomattox, and for years past
that has been its Post Office name.
Other Virginia court house towns are
not to be compared with it. None but
itself can be its parallel.
——The first instalment of the great
trans-Siberian railroad has been opened
to travel, and St. Petersburg has rail-
road communications eastward as far as
Omsk. We reproach Russia for being
unprogressive, but we must confess that
the gigantic trans-Siberian railway pro-
ject would hardly have been undertaken
by America, did we own Siberia. To
start with the road will cost 150,000,000
roubles, and will run through a sparse-
ly settled country for the greater part of
its length. It will be years before it
pays even a fair rate of interest upon
the investment. The road is a govern-
ment project and as a political and
strategic enterprise, it is of the highest
importance not only to Russia, but to
Asia and to all countries having posses-
sions in the far east. No one but the
Autocrat of all Russia could have un-
dertaken so great an enterprise, and
none other would be likely to carry it
to completion,
