FARM NOTES.
—A farmer friend says that using his
Jersey bull on a small tread power for run-
ning his cream separator is not only a cheap
and easy way to secure all the cream, but
results in more vigorous calves.
—Experiments at the Minnesota station
show that the early castration of lambs has
the following advantages : They reach a
greater weight, are less trouble, they have
less offal when killed and their meat is
better in flavor.
—Juniping from shall on to deep plow-
ing all at once usually results in a decreas-
ed crop yield at the succeeding harvest.
The soil should be gradually deepened by
letting the plow bring up a little of the
subsoil each year till the desired depth is
reached.
—To destroy lice on cattle add one
quart of strong soft soap and a tablespoon-
ful of carbolic acid to twelve quarts of rain
water. Apply this thoroughly to the back
and all places where lice congregate. After
six days repeat to destroy the young that
hatch after the first application.
—Remenber that the large head lice be-
gin their destructive work on chicks as
soon as hatched. Soak an ounce of fish-
berries ( Colculus Indicus) in a half pint of
alcohol, for two or three days, then dilute
one-half with water. At night moisten the
down of the head, throat, under wing and
vent with the poison. It is old fashioned but |
effective, and no danger of giving the bird |
a cold, as is the case when oil is used. |
You will find that the best preventive of
the plague of lice, is to keep everlasting-
ly fighting them. Saturate perches fre-
quently with kerosene, use hot limewash-
with plenty of salt in it on all the interior
walls and woodwork, burn old nesting ma-
terial and nests, and occasionally dust
nests with air slaked lime or insect powder.
To free the fowls from the pest, hold them
up by the shanks and dust insect powder
through their feathers.
—Who's your blacksmith? Don’t send
just anybody with the horses when they
are to be shod. Go yourself, or have some
competent person who will see that it is
properly done.
The shoe should cover the crust or wall
all around the foot, and should not extend
straight back from the quarters. Itshould
be of uniform thickness all around.
Light shoes are preferable to heavy ones
and wear just as long, even if not so thick.
They endure equally well because the
horse is not forced to hammer his feet so
seriously at every step.
A light shoe may also be held in place
with less nails, thus damaging the wall of
the-hoof less. If possible. use but three
nails to aside, and have them as far for-
ward as possible.
The foot needs the knife only enough to
reduce the horn as much as it wpuld have
worn away without shoes. Ordinarily the
rasp will reduce the sole sufficiently with-
out the knife.
Never allow the rasp to be used on the
outer portion of the foot. 1f the horse
forge or click from over-reaching, instead
of setting the hind shoes back so they will
not, protect the wall of the foot, use light-
er shoe * behind and heavier ones forward.
This encourages the throwing forward fur-
ther of the front feet and keeps them out
of the way of the feet which strikes
them.
Let your horse go barefooted until he is
five years old if you wish him to have
tough feet, then let him go barefooted
awhile between ea¢h pair%f shoes. Two
sets of shoes a year are enough for any
farm horse. Don’t let the blacksmrth put
a hot shoe on your horse’s hoof, but fit the
shoe with a rasp. Insist on his making the
shoe to fit the foot, not the foot to fit the
shoe.
The front foot is naturally round, the
hind one oblong. Keep them so. Make
him keep his rasp off the outside of the
hoof.
If you must have calks to your shoes on
account of ice make them very -short ;
long calks give an immense lever to break,
sprain and otherwise injure your horse’s
foot. The calks should not be so high that
the frog cannot rest on the ground.
It is a great mistake to allow shoes to go
two and three months without being reset.
This is ene cause of corns and other troubles.
The frog of the foot ought not to be pared
except to merely cut away ragged portions.
A horse’s foot should be carefully cleaned
every time his body is groomed ; for this
purpose a foot hook should be used.
When you once find a good blacksmith,
stick to him.
Pasture is nature’s remedy for all ail-
ments of the horse’s foot. The practice of
clipping the fetlock is undoubtedly bad,
as the heel of the horse is tender and when
exposed is subject to many diseases. Na-
ture has provided the fetlock asa protec-
tion, and such let it remain.
‘When the horse comes into the stable
after being unharnassed the heels should
be well brushed out. Hand rubbing is
preferred to washing, as the long hair can
scarcely be dried again. If dirt is allowed
~ to accumulate in that long hair the heels
will become sore, and if the heels are wash-
ed, particularly in cold weather, grease will
result from the slow evaporation of the
moisture. You should have a picker and
clean out between the shoe and sole and
see that no stone has gotten between. Ex-
amine the shoes carelully, for they may be
loose or the clinches may be raised and
wound his legs. or the shoe may begin to
press the sole or heel and bruises or corns
may result.
Any disease of the foot leads to others.
This shows the necessity of instant atten-
tion, even to the slightest lameness. The
owner should always go with the horse to
be shod and see that the clinches are each
one raised, and not allow the smith to raise
one or two and then pull and wrench the
shoe off and thereby enlarge every other
nail hole and wecken the future hold of
the shoe.
The best way to have good feet on your
horses is to breed for feet.
Take care of the colt’s feet ; to stand on
heating manure is bad ; in winter let them
out on the ground in fair weather ; keep
them trimmed if they grow too long or
out of shape, for this purpose a rasp is best.
When you start to plow in the spring pull
off the shoes and work without, it renews
and strengthens the feet.
It is a great help in warm weather to
turn horses out at night, the wet grass
seems to be just what the feet need to keep
them from getting too dry and hard.
Horses with good feet will do farm work
without shoes.

pliant plumes, long as those of the ostrich,
but far more beautiful, with delicate fila-
ments as light as frast work on a winter
window. &
These long, filmy plumes on my lady’s
hat are the plumes of the white egret.
Naturally, they are pure white, . . .
but pure white not being barbaric enough
for the use of civilization—though it used
to serve Southern Indians who wore these
plumes—they are dyed any color of the
‘rainbow, losing thereby none of their grace-
fulness and only some of their beauty.
My lady’s bat, if worn too long, will lose
-its purpose and cease to attract. She must
therefore change it. The plumes in the
new hat must be of different color. For
these new plumes she looks to her milliner.
The milliner looks to the great wholesale
supply house of the metropolis. The whole-
sale supply house looks—and with much
anxiety, these days—to Thomas Jones,
market shooter, or technically speaking,
plumage hunter.
Thomas Jones knows where there is an
egret roost, or as he will call it, a ‘‘white
crane roost.”” Really, he does not mean a
roost so much as a nesting-ground, where
thousands of birds nest in a small tract of
the isolated wet forest or ‘‘dead-tree
swamp.”” Such rookeries were once com-
mon in Florida, but are so no longer.
Thomas Jones may know of one in Miss-
issippi, Louisiana or Texas, and holds him-
self fortunate if he does, for they are scarce
enough to-day. . . . ,
Mind you, the plumage hunter does not
go into the roost until spring has well ad-
vanced. When he reaches the roost the
low trees, bushes and grassy brush clumps
are full of nests, and the nests are or spon
will be full of young birds. The busy life
“of the colony goes on.. The parents come
and go, traveling no one knows how far to
get food for the gaping young birds in the
nest. Thomas Jones notes the high, pro-
jecting snag of the tallest tree near the
edge of the colony. There is a white crane
on that limb. It seems to him there al-
ways is one there. In short, it is a habit
of the bird to alight on the highest branch
offering itself.
Out of the thotisands of nests in the vast
colony, how can the parent egret pick its
own nest, since all look so much alike ?
Thomas Jones often wonders about that,
and sometimes laughs a little to himself.
The parent egret has been out after food,
and returns to the colony. Without a sec-
ond’s hesitation he picks out his own nest,
and pauses for an instant directly above it,
high up in the air. Then he lets his long
legs drop straight down and throwing his
wings up, just falls down through the air,
feet first, in the most comical and awk-
ward-looking way in the world, though he
never misses his nest by an inch, but lands
just where he wanted to. As he thus backs
downstairs out of the air, his long plumes,
attached in a little clump at his shoulders
and spreading out over his back as far
down as the longest tail feathers, flare up
in the air, reversed and standing up over
his head as he drops, as a white garment
would in the resistance of the air.
On these plumes Thomas Jones fixes his
eye. He shoots an egret and satisfies him-
self that the plumes are ‘‘ripe,”’ i. e., in
their prime condition. Then he builds his
camp on the best ground he can find near
by, and the next day is ready to go to
work.
Surely Thomas Jones is not going to kill
these birds right in the nesting season,
when the helpless young are in the nest
and must die also if their parents die!
That cannot be possible ! you say. Yet
that is precisely what he is going to do. It
is not his fault, he will tell you, that the
plumes are not good in the fall, winter, or
height of the breeding season. Here are
the plumes, found at much labor, reached
at much danger, says Thomas Jones, blind
and deaf—further than that, and there is
the price offered me for them, so much an
ounce, perhaps $40 and ounce, or perhaps
kill these birds at this time ?
clear that we should ask this question any
more of Thomas Jones than of the whole-
sale milliners’ supply house, or of the re-
tail milliner, or of every lady on the street.
Only the fact remains, pitiless, horrible,
unspeakable, that the gathering of the
plumes is a harvest of death, a harvest un-
timely, disastrous, because it is reaped at
the sowing time of life. Every egret kill-
ed for it plumes is killed when it is help-
less through its blind, natural love for its
offspring, and when its death means the
death of all its helpless young. Does the
wholesale man know this ?. Does he eare ?
Does anybody know or care ? It is not one
thing to be remembered, that my lady
must have her plumes. White—
they are.white, these plumes. It is mock=
ery. They should be the blackest sable,
and they should stain black the white
fingers that caress them.
But Thomas Jones cannot stop to argue.
The next day he pushes quietly into the
edge of the nesting-ground. He ties his
boat firmly within easy range of the tall
snag he saw the day before. He takes out
his rifle—the 22 shot will make no noise,
and it will serve his purpose perfectly.
There is an egret on the tall snag. Taking
a steady aim, Thomas Jones fires, and the
bird whirls down dead. One or two other
birds start on their perches in the same
tree, but settle back. One ‘by one they,
too, whirl out and lie in a white tangled
mass at the foot of the tree. An egret
raises herself up above the rim of the nest
on which she sits, and the tiny bullet
pierces her. She whirls down, lying white
and motionless. The little ones gape and
cry, but no food comes. The father was
killed on the tree near by. One by one,
out of the nests, off from the limbs of the
trees, here, there, anywhere—for the birds
are all about, and so stupid with the hreed-
ing fever that they will not leave—the
slender white birds meet their doom. That
tall snag has yielded twenty victims.
Thomas Jones has not moved from his
boat. He has over 200 birds down. He
can tell by his cartridge boxes, for he rare-
ly misses a shot. It is easy shooting.
After noon Thomas Jones goes out and
gathers up his spoils. A cut of the knife
and the clump of plumes is off. The car-
ass of the egret is left lying. Two hun-
dred carcasses of egrets are left lying. That
many more to-morrow. Many more than
that the next day, for by that time the
wailing of the dying young of the first
day’s victims will have ceased. From then
on, day by day, increasing in three-fold
ratio, the harvest of death goes on, steadily,
pitilessly, on the sowing grounds of life,
out in the silent wilderness where the birds
have tried to hide their homes.

The Upas Tree.
Interesting Details of the Famous Myth of the Veg-
«table World.
5
Everybody has heard of the ‘‘deadly
Upas tree ;’ yet few, probably, even of
those who use the phrase ‘‘with fine rhetor-
ical effect,” have any very definite concep-
tion of its meaning. Of course, the, whole
thing is a myth ; but the following &ersion,
extracted from a quaint old book, may
serve to render our igeas less hazy about
it : -
“The Bohon Upas situated in the Island
of Java, between eighteen and twenty
leagues from Tinkjoe’ which is the residence
of the king of that country, is surround-
ed on all sides by a circle of high hills and
mountains, and the region around it, to the
distance of ten or twelve miles from the
tree, is entirely barren. Not another tree,
nor a shrub, nor even the least blade of
grass is to be seen. I have made the tour
all around this dangerous-spot, and I found
the aspect of the country on all sides equal-
ly dreary. The easiest ascent of the hills
is from that part where dwells an ancient
hermit. -
*‘From his house the criminals are sent for
the poison, into which the points of all
warlike instruments are dipped ; itis of
high value, and brings a considerable rev-
enue to the king. The poison which is
procured from this tree is a gum that is-
sues out between the bark and the tree it-
self, like camphor. Malefactors, who for
their crimes are sentenced to die, are the
only persons who fetch the poisons; and
this is the only chance they have of saving
their lives. After sentence is pronounced
upon them by the Judge they are asked in
court whether they will go to the Upas tree
for a box of the poison. . :
‘‘They commonly prefer the latter pro-
| posal, as there is only some chance of pre-
serving their lives, but also a certainty, in
case of their safe return, that a provis-
ion will be made for them in future by the
king. They are also. permitted" to ask a
favor of him, which is generally of a trifling
nature, and is commonly granted. They
are then provided with a silver or tortoise
shell box, in which they are to put the
posinous gum, and are properly instructed
how they are to proceed while they are upon
their dangerous expedition. .
‘They are always told to attend to the
direction of the wind ; they are to go to-
ward the tree before the wind, so that
the effluvia from it may be blown from
them. They go first to the house of the old
ecclesiastic, who prepares them by prayers
and admonitions for their future fate ; he
also puts on them a long leather cap with
two glasses before their eyes, which comes
down as far as the breast, and provides
them with a pair of leathern gloves. There-
upon they are conducted by the priest and
their friends and geiations about two
miles on their journey.
‘The old ecclesiastic assured me that in
upward of thirty years he had dismissed
about seven hundred criminals in the man-
ner described, and that scarcely two out of
twenty had returned. All the Malayans
consider this tree as a holy instrument of
the great prophet to punish the sins of man-
kind ; therefore, to die by the poison of the
Upas is regarded among them as an honora-
ble death.. This, however, is certain, that
| from fifteen to eighteen miles around this
| tree, not only no human creature can exist,
| but no animal of any kind has ever been dis-
{ covered. There are no fish in the waters,
{and when any birds fly so near this tree
| that the effuvia can reach them they drop-
| down dead.”

« “From the New Era, Greensburg, Ind.
- Zz
A noteworthy instance of the fallibility
of even the most skillful physicians is fur-
nished in the case of Mrs. J. E. Smith, of
Greensburg, Ind. !
For four years Mrs. Smith was afflicted |
with a nervous affection that finally left |
ber almost completely helpless and which |
the physician who first attended her said
_positively could not be cured. Subsequent-
ly, a number of physicians in this and other
cities, declared her case to be hopeless.
To-dgy in spite of the verdict of the doc-
tors, afd without their aid, Mrs. Smith is
perfectly well. Toa New Era reporter she
told the story of her extraordinary re-
covery.
“Five years ago I had a severe attack of |
la grippe, followed later by another. Dur-
ing the four years following, my health
continued to decline, until finally I was
hardly able to move.
‘After having the -grippe,”’ said Mrs.
Smith, “I was able to be about for awhile,
and to do some work. But in a short time |
after the second attack I began to experi- |
ence nervousness, and often had fainting |
spells, my trouble being similar to hyster-
ics. I gradually grew worse, and in a short |
while I became subject to such spells of
nervousness that I could do no work, being |
scarcely able to move about the house. I |

that my case or any case like mine positive-

attended me, agreed that my case was
hopeless. For three years I lingered in
misery, trying different doctors and reme-
dies, but none did me any noticeable good.
Finally my druggist advised me to try Dr.

was so highly recommended by newspapers.

The Sandwich islands, which aided in
making Cleveland’s life miserable, are
bound to perplex this government again in
the future. Situated midway b& ween the
east and the west, they afford the most con-
venient half way station and stopping
point for the bulk of Pacific ocean inter con-
tinental travel. The population of the
islands is an unhomogenous gathering of |
various nations, our one country being in a
marked ascendancy. The Kanaka natives
are outnumbered by foreigners, and are at
any rate the least intelligent and progress- |
ive inhabitants. The-overthrown monarchy
will never be tolerated again by the foreign
residents. Could the republic be perma-
nent, it would probably be as acceptable to
everybody interested as any plant that can
be suggested. But with the threat of Ja- |
pan to establish a protectorate a serious |
question is raised.
The islands would entertain the project +
of annexation to the United States. But |
the United States have not yet entertained |
the idea of annexation tothe islands, where |
our chief interests are centered in the pro- |
duction of sugar, and the prevention of
foreign lodgment. The American popula-
tion is very small, several other nation- |
alities predominating. If Japan is serious, |
an issue may he forced, which, in this |
country, will be the question whether we |
want the island or not. The principal ob- !
ject in taking them would he to keep other |
powers from finding them an easy base of |
operations on the Pacific in time of attack |
upon this country. Whether that is a dan-
ger real or imaginary isthe point to be ar-
gued. Mr. Cleveland’s Nemesis is left to

Retrenchment with a Vengeance.
During the past two days more than 300
men, in all departments, of the
Pennsylvania lines, have been suspended
and many of them discharged. Such
sweeping reductions in the forces have
never taken place before in the history of
the system. Business has declined so rap- |
idly in the freight department that there
has been nothing for the men to do. The
only department that has shown an in-
crease is the passenger department, and the
Pittsburg passenger office has led all the
other offices in this respect.
Salt for Cows.
An authority says it is important that
cows are regularly salted, at least twice a
week. If they have salt before them all
the time they will not eat more than is
good for them. This regular salting not!
only increases milk yield, bat also makes '
it of better quality. Where cows are salt-
-ed regularly their milk will keep sweet 24
hours longer than will milk from cows that |
have suffered from lack of salt.

Red Waist Maddened a Cow.
Mrs. Seth King, of Mahoningtown, while
returning from a shopping tour last Friday
met a man leading a cow. She wore a
bright red waist, and no sooner did the
cow see it than she reared and plunged,
and, breaking away from the man who was
leading her, lowered her head and started
after the frightened woman. Mrs. King
ran into Joseph Gormle’s house and closed
the door. The cow sunk her horns into
the door several times, and had it not been
for the timely arrival of men with clubs
she would have forced her way inside.
After being beaten away she made a break
and almost leaped through a window. The
women of the house took refuge upstairs
until the cow was firmly lassoed and bound
to a tree.

Lived off Bread and Milk for Years, 9 Home Doc-
tors Failed to Cure wie, Dr. Salm Succeeded
in Curing,
For more than four years I have had a bad case
of catarrh, stomach and general trouble. Took
cold continually. For one and a half years 1
could eat only bread and milk. Tried nine dif-
ferent doctors, to get rid of my misery, but got
worse and worse. So 1 went to Dr. Salm for
treatment. and to-day I ain as strong as ever, can
eat anything, and don’t take anv more cold, and
consider myself cured of this terrible disease.

>cople Think Dr. Salm Has Done Another Wonder-
ful Piece of Work.
I have had a very bad ease of catarrh and sore
eyes for more than eight years, and consequently
it gave me a world of trouble. I was obliged to
see Dr. Sali, under his treatment the change is
wonderfully rapid. My friends are astonished, as
well, and tuink with me that Dr. Salm has done
another wonderful piece of worl.

Couldn't Walk 15 Yards at a Time, Was no Earthly
Use to Any One, Thought I Was Going to Die,
but Dr. Salm Cured Me.
For 2 years or more, I have had a fearful
trouble, begun to get very weak, my limbs would
not carry me any more, couldn't walk a stretch of
15 yards, and my heart would beat a fearful rate,
at the least exertion, It seemed my blood was
turned to water, § gradually became pale as one
dead. I was no earthly use to any one, and all
my neighbors and relatives thought I was goin
to die. Home doctors couldn’t help me, so
went to Dr. Salm, and to-day, I am happy to state,
that I am stggnger than ever, can eat anything,
do a full anf work, and enjoy life as much as
any one, and my color, any one may be proud of.

Suffered for 15 Years With Nervous, Inward anid
Ear Trouble, Tried a Half Dozen Doctors, and
a Pile of Patent Medicines, but Had to go to
Dr. Salm to be Cured
For 15 years I have suffered very muh with
nervous, inward and ear trouble, and my condi-
tion grew worse and worse. I tried a half dozen
doctors, and piles of patent medicines, to no
avail, I went to Dr. Salm, and, thanks to his
knox ledge as a physician, I consider myself en-
tirely cured, Those pains, which came every
month, and the fearful nervous prostration re-
sulting therefrom, has entirely left me and I feel
happy once more. Mrs, W. M. Jos,
