—A merino ram sold for $8000 at Sidney,
and at other points in Australia from $2000
to $6000 have been paid for rams. These
prices are high, but the sheep breeders did
not make any considerable profit until
they began to buy the best wams in other
countries.
—If weeds are allowed to become dry be-
fore they are turned under they will rob
the land of fertility, but if plowed under
when green they will quickly decompose
and restore to the land that of which the
soi] was deprived. By plowing under the
green weeds there will be no seeds.
—It is an old story, but worth bringing
forth as new, that salt is an excellent
fertilizer for fruit trees. It must be used
sparingly. A quart is enough for a com- |
paratively young tree—a half-bushel might
be spread under a bearing one—strewing
it thinly over the ground as far as the
boughs extend.
—Evergreen hedges will last for years if
they are kept in good condition by careful
trimming. The great scourge of hedges is
the basket worm, which can, however, he
easily kept in check, but which is not done
by ail, the result being that the hedges in
an entire community are sometimes ruined
by the negligence of a few.
—The director of the Minnesota experi-
ment station announces that cabbages can
be grown as stock food with but little cost. |
They were grown alongside of roots, rape,
sorghum and other forage plants and were
found healthful and palatable for sheep.
The seed was sown in drills and thinned
out, so as to avoid transplanting. The
cabbages can be eventually pastured off by
sheep, thus costing nothing for harvesting
them.
—Asparagus rust is due to a fungus
which grows through the sub-
stance of the plant. The diffi-
culty is one that is becoming serious
with growers of asparagus, the several
methods of spraying not being completely
effectual. The best remedy is to cut down
the stalks, cover with straw or hay and
burn the bed, compelling the fire to pass
over every square inch of ground and con-
suming all of the material.
—A western poultry paper recently pub-
lished an article on poultry, and cause of
death among same. By investigation it
was proved that 99 per cent. of the chick-
ens that die lose their life in consequence
of the ravages of lice, either directly or in-
directly ; that a laying hen covered with
lice becomes so debilitated that her chick-
ens are not so strong as those from hens
free of lice.
—Difficulties with milk fever can be
avoided with care and at less expense than
to be annoyed with it when the cow has
her calf. Previous to calving the cows |
should receive green food, ensilage and |
hay, with a bran mash during meals, ac-
cording to the season of the year, allowing
no grain at all if she is fat. It is from
making the cows too fat that some cases of
milk fever occur, and such foods as cooked
turnips, chopped carrots or any food not
too concentrated are better than dry hay
or grain.
—There are laws in nearly all the States
relating to the destruction of Canada this-
tles, hut they are not strictly enforced.
The cheapest way to get rid of them is not
to allow them to grow. If kept in check,
So as to prevent growth, they will die ;
but if they make only slight growth they
hold the land persistently. A crop of |
potatoes one year, followed by cabbage the
next, will clear them out if clean cultiva-
tion is given. The potatoes may be late,
with peas first, as an early crop, and the
“cabbages may be preceded by early tur-
nips. If only one crop is grown each year
the land should be plowed every time the
thistles begin to appear, as the hoe will
finish them during the cultivation of the
crop.
- —The breed is as important as the feed
in raising hogs for market, and the farmer
should make himself familiar with the
wants of the customers. The Berkshire
has long been famous as a superior breed |
for the production of choice hams, while
the Ilssex, also a black hog, has the repu-
tation of producing the best side meat.
For a long period of time the Chester
Whites, of Pennsylvania, had a reputation
second to no other breed, when large car-
casses were the rule, but to adapt them to
fit the conditions required for market they
were improved by crosses with the York-
shire and Suffolk, the result being a sacri-
fice of hardiness and a reduction in size,
but a marked improvement in their gen-
eral quality. Of recent years the J ersey
Reds and Poland Chinas have come to the
front, both breeds being hardy, but they
are rapidly falling behind from the prac-
tice of imbreeding by some of the breeders
who have establisked lines of pedigrees.
Farmers who have been successful have
used coarse sows which have proved to be
good mothers, resorting to pure-bred males,
but they have not been as careful in prop-
erly mating their stock as they should, as
they have bred from animals too young
and thus reduced the vigor of their herds.
Some breeds, like the Chester Whites,
thrive better than others in cotd climates,
while the black breeds—Essex Berkshire,
and Poland China—are better adapted to
the South.
The theory that corn is the principal
source from which pork must be produced
has done harm, not that corn has failed to
hold its high position in that respect, but
that farmers have not availed themselves
of the waste products of the farm as as-
sistants to corn. Losses have also resulted
from the use of corn exclusively, digestion
and disease occurring because of a lack of
variety in the food. Some farmers turn
their pigs on the clover fields, but dislike
to doso owing tothe rooting up of the
fields by the animals. It has been demon-
strated at several experiment stations that
by ‘growing forage crops, and using the
waste products of the dairy, the cost of
pork on eastern farms can be made as low
as in the west included in slaughtering
and preparing the hogs for market, as the
farmer cannot compete in that respect with
the large packing houses that are supplied
with labor-saving machinery, but there are
seasons when the farmer is really idle and
his labor possesses no value at all unless he
can apply it. It will pay to raise hogs
that can be sold in less than a year, or if
the winter expenses can be avoided, hence
a pig farrowed in April and sold in Dec-
ember has eight months during which to
grow and will have six months of moderate
weather in its favor for foraging which
reduces the amount of corn required and
saves much labor to the farmer at the
time he is busy with his Crops.

SOMETHING To KNow.—It may be
worth something to know that the very
best medicine for restoring the tired out
nervous system to a healthy vigor is elec-
tric bitters. This medicine is purely
vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve
centres in the stomach, gently stimulates
the liver and kidneys, and aids these or-
gans in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric bitters improves the appe-
tite, aids digestion, and is pronounced by
| those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

—The famous Sphinx near the Pyra-
mids of Gizeh was thoroughly investigated
by Professor Erman, who at a recent meet-
ing of the Berlin Academy delivered a lec-
about its probable age. Careful researches
show that it could not have been built pre-
vious to the so-called ‘‘Middle Kingdom,’
or about 2000 B. C. Between her front
paws there was originally the image of a
diety, all traces of which have at the pres-
ent time disappeared. For the building of
the colossal work more than twenty years
must have been necessary, even if 1500
men had been employed all the time.
Fable of the Dog.
Once upon a time a dog had a tin can
tied to his tail. :
‘Alas !”” exclaimed the unhappy beast,
when he could run no farther, ‘‘what a
curse is life! Yet death has no charms
for such as I.
This fable teaches that the pessimist is
the creature of environment as well as
temperament ; of the objective fact as well
as the subjective illusion.
Recently a small boy ate buttercups
and as a result died. Since then there has
been published a list of poisonous wild
flowers, popularly considered harmless, but
certain to be fatal if eaten by a careless
person or ignorant child. These flowers
are buttercups, celandine, wood anemone,
daffodils, narcissus, lily, snowdrop, jon-
quil, wild hyacinth, monk’s hood, fox-
glove, nightshade, briony, mezerone and
henbane. “

Public School Laws.
Some Facts Our Readers Will Be Interested in Know-
ing.
The following law relating to the public
schools of the state were among those pass-
ed by the late legislature, according to the
Harrisburg school Gazette : .
That school boards may purchase flags
and shall display them whenever they
deem proper.
The school children shall have the use
of the books of the board during vacation
for a pay or select school, provided the
teacher has a valid certificate.
That school directors shall be authorized
to provide transportation for school chil-
dren, at the expense of the district, to the
public schools of the district in which they
reside or to the schools of neighbor dis-
tricts.
That a copy of Smull’s Legislative Hand-
book shall now and hereafter following
cach decennial census, be placed in each
public school of the commonwealth, and
bi-ennially a copy of the school laws and
decisions, by the state superintendent.
That independent school districts now
existing may he abolished by the courts
whenever a majority of the taxable citizens
of any school district, out of which any in-
dependent district may be created, petition
for such action.
That school directors may establish and
maintain, out of the public school treasury
free kindergartens for children between the
ages of three and six years, residing in the
district.
That it shall be unlawful for any indus-
trial establishment to employ any minor
who cannot read and write in the English
language, unless he has attended in the
preceding year, an evening or day school
for a period of sixteen weeks.
That school boards shall have power to
levy a per capita tax of one dollar annual- |
ly on every male inhabitant who is of age.
That the compulsory school law be so
amended as to increase the compulsory age
to 16 years, to require attendance contin-
uously during ar least 70 per cent. of the
term, which period shall begin at the he-
ginmng of the school term, or at a time to
be fixed by the school hoard at their organ-
ization ; that between the ages of 13 to 16
a child shall be excused if he has regular
employment.
Our Wheat and the Old World.
PHILADELPHIA, August 28.—The Press
will say to-morrow :
Word has been received at this port that
the Russian government is meditating the
promulgation of a decree prohibiting the
export of wheat, owing to the small crops
in Southern Russia, and this report is caus-
ing some uneasiness to those interested.
The effect of this contemplated action
would he to create a strong demand for ton-
nage in the Black sea, so that as much
grain as is possible may be shipped before
the prohibition takes effect. This in itself
would be calculated to force up freights on
vessels loading here. A well-known ship-
ping man in this city said that this contem-
plated action of the Russian government
makes it an almost settled fact that Europe
must look to the United States alone to
fill her orders for cereals. Just what in-
crease of business this means for Philadel-
phia, New York and Baltimore alone is in-
calculable. The exports of grain from
Philadelphia, which already are the largest
on record, will reach figures in excess of
what has been the most sanguine expection
of shippers.
Within the next few weeks cargoes of
grain will be shipped from here to ports in
the Adriatic sea, to Marseilles and Alexan-
dria, Egypt.
Three Men From Pittston, Pa., Who Got
$85,000 Each.
Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 28.—F. O’ Reilly,
Frank Flanigan and P. O’Brien have ar-
rived from Klondyke, and claim to have
$85,000 each in dust, nuggets and drafts
issued at Dawson. They left Klondyke on
July 6th and were the last men out, hav-
ing come overland via Skaguay. O'Reilly
says there were nearly six tons of dust,
worth over $2,000,000 at Dawson when
they left. The owners in most instances
were going to St. Michaels on the next
river steamers and coming down on the
steamers Portland and Excelsior.
Flanigan and O’Brien arein Portland.
They are due here to-morrow and will
leave this week for their old home at
Pittston. O’Reilly will winter in Ireland.
They went to Yukon two years ago, and
after a year of fruitless prospecting secured
claims 37 and 39 on Bonanza creek, which
they expect to yield $500,000. They claim
to have a pay streak sixty feet wide for
200 feet along the creek bottom and have
worked only eight feet of its length.
They estimate that the Klondyke dis-
trict will produce fully $10,000,000 this
winter. An immense area on the Yukon
remains unprospected, and other streams
no less rich will be found.
The Texas Watermelon.
Compare the watermelon crop of Texas
with the Washington monument at Wash-
ington, D. C. The monument is 5521 feet
high and 146} feet square at its base.
Build a monument of Texas’ 40,000,000
melons, pack them solid, and they would
make a column 1,223 feet high, 145} feet
square at the base. It the bottom layer
there would be 24,528 melons, occupyiny
21,462 square feet. This calculation is
based on the average size of the Texas mel-
ons—13 inches long and 9 inches in diame-
ter. These 40,000,000 would weigh in the
aggregate the enormous total of 800,000, -
000, pounds. It would require 30,000
freight cars and 1,200 full trains of 25 cars
each to transport them. The trains, with
not a foot of space between them, would
cover a distance of 170 miles.
Pawned His Legs for Drink.
The Chicago police are hunting for the
legs of a man who pawned his artificials for
drink. When taken before the court he
said he needed a drink the night before,
and not having any money, he pawned his
cork legs for the liquor. The case was dis-
missed, and the police were sent to find
the legs, as their owner could not remem-
ber with whom he pawned them.
The acceptance of presents by teach-
ers from pupils has been forbidden by a
nuinber of school boards throughout the
State. This step has been taken because
the boards believe that many poor children
are embarassed at their inability to con-
tribute along with the other children.
They also regard the practice as treating to
influence the teachers relations with the
pupils.—Ex.
— ‘My wife will be the first Klondyke
widow.”
“Why ? Are you going ?’*
‘No ; but I'm being talked to death by
men who want to borrow money to get
there.”’—Chicago Record.
Seal Herd Dwindling.
The Kiiling of Females With Unborn Pups the
First Cause of the Diminution.
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 28.—Dr. David
Starr Jordan, commissioner in chief of the
. . . . |
fur seal investigations, arrived from Alaska |!
to-day and went through to San Francisco.
Speaking of the sealing question, he said :
“The breeding grounds show a shrink-
age of about 15 per cent. over the condi- !
tions of last season ; the hunting grounds a
shrinkage of 33 per cent. The primary
cause of shrinkage of females on the breed-
ing grounds is the pelagic catch of last fall
and this spring, To this is added the loss,
due to starvation, of orphaned pups in 1894
which should this year have lived to give
birth to their first pups. This starvation
in 1894, affecting, as it did in a like meas-
ure, the male herd, is the cause of the dim-
inution of killable secls on the hunting
grounds. The decline of the herd is every-
where more distinctly marked than it was
last year, owing to the effects of the re-
sumption of pelagic killing in Bering sea
after the modus vivendi of 1893. For 1898
the shrinkage will be still greater through
the destruction, in 1894, of unborn pups
with impregnated females killed. Thus
the evil effects of pelagic sealing in any
particular year are still more clearly felt
three or four years after. Even if pelagic
sealing should be stopped at once, the de-
cline of the herd must go on until after
1900, because of the after effect, due to the
destruction of nursing and unborn off-
spring. The pelagic fleet in Bering sea
numbers ahout 20 vessels as against 68 last
year. The catches are unprofitable. No
seizures have been made.’
The Rivers are Full of Pearls.
Recent Discoveries in Arkansas Show the Fisheries
are Very Extensive.—Thousands Hunting Them.—
Are First Class, and Range in Value from 810 to
$800 Each.—Greatest Finds in History.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Aug. 28th.—New
discoveries of valuable deposits of pearls
in lakes and rivers in Arkansas have added
greatly to the excitement already existing
over similar discoveries, and to-day thous-
ands of people are wading through the
waters in different parts of the State search-
ing for the precious gems.
In the Arkarsas river and the creeks,
lakes and bayous near the ILattle Rock,
pearls have been picked up ranging in
value from $10 to $800 each. Hundreds
of people are working the Soline; White
and other rivers, and many valuable finds
have been reported. Additional discover-
ies were made on the Fourche river yester-
day, and hundreds of people are swarming
to that stream. There are 57 streams in
the State that are rich in pearls of large
size. In the course of a survey made in
the White River in 1895, $5,000 worth of
pearls were collected by members of the
survey in the course of their duties.
Recent discoveries lead to the assertion
that never in man’s history were so many
and so large pearls discovered. Pearls
of from 30 to 50 grains in weight are no
uncommon things to find in the possession
of country lads, who fish for pearls for
pastime. The color of the pearls is that of
a saline rose, and texture is first-class.

EXPERIENCE.
A USEFUL LIFE RENEWED
INA
REMARKABLE MANNER.
Udney Y. Wilson Was Near Death's Door. Doctors Failed to Help Him—
A Home Remedy Succeeded in Saving His Life.
From the Evening News, Detroit, Mich.
Udney, Y. Wilson, contractor, and
builder, living in Detroit, Mich., at 87
High street, west, said regarding Dr. Wil-
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People: ‘‘For
years I have been out of doors in all kinds
of bad weather, looking after my building
contracts.. Ihave worked many days in
the rain and cold to complete some huild-
ing. About two years agoI noticed I
could not get around as I should, and com-
menced to have a severe pain in my back.
I tried the usual remedies without getting
any relief, and for nearly a year I suffered
intensely. I kept up aslong as I could,
as I had several contracts for buildings
that had to be completed.
‘At night I could not sleep. My physi-
cian said it was my kidneys, and every
day I went out doors they would keep me
awake nearly all the following night. In-
stead of getting better I became worse, and
worried a great deal about my work. The
doctor said I must quit work and go to
bed, or he would not be responsible for my
life.
‘All the medicines I took only helped
me temporarily. Some days I would feel
better and go out a day only to be again
confined to my bed for weeks at a time.
One day my wife suggested that I try Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and
I laughed at the idea.
“Finally when I got into such a condi-
tion that I would take almost anything in
the hope of relief, I tried the pills. They
helped me from the start, but I would not
acknowledge it and said it was the other
medicines that had just commenced to
work. I disliked to own up that Dr. Wil-
liams’ Pink Pills helped me, as I had no
confidence in them. When I could not
carry on the imposition any farther, I told
my wife that the pills were helping me.
I took three boxes before I was entirely
cured, and we now keep them in the house
all the time.
“I am not prepared to say that Dr. Wil-
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People will cure
everything, but I know they will cure
kidney troubles and general muscular
weakness, as they cured me.
“I now recommend them to everyone in
my neighborhood, where I formerly made
sport of all proprietary remedies.”’
