THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. BONE DISEASE, l.iatuin.t lor a onifilHlnl that Aflrrls row In nillT Rectlone. For wore than half a century thorn huve b(cn wnsiotial outbreaks of a peculiar listM!i In Now Kiik1;iih1, mostly nlTcttintf milch cow, auil com monly kuowii ua bone-all or stitlc .lolnt Inineuws. Htretofotv the trou ble ha lnn chiefly couflued to hilly sections, but Httni now to bo ui profuiilnit the valleys. This iliseas ), technically called Ca 'hoxliln os-sltrnra, Is not confiiu'd t the Nflt Joint, freqmntlr a fleet lint the htp nml other Joints also. In one ctme. where tli" hip Joint was nffivted, examination showed that t.ho nrtteular surface of the head of the tibia or tiuank hotn imd been woru through by Its friction with the femur, or thlv'h lone, by the absorption of the float lujr cart I large between the ends of tin? bones. Similar conditions were no ticed in other instances. As it is be lieved this c.irrllaKO cannot be rosen rated, ft whs At first a iiuivtlon whether the disease was cnrablo. Ho fore iuvettdyaijon. its cause was at tributed to the ihiph:ttlu materials lu the feed, vind this Idea has !;oi. fully established. Where such ma terials were supplied in the form of bran, the l!sen?f -was thought to be occasioned by the excessive use of such feed, as It was known that such excess changes the bone Into a sort of phosphate, while the healthy bone Is on Insoluble phosphate. In former outbreaks, bone. meal w.i found to be on effective remedy, and In recent instances It has been used with rood results. A Suffleld. Conn., Tiian, of considerable experience, sjvs that twj ounces of the meal in a pint of bran, three times a week during the early summer and fall feeilinj.', will jrenerally cure. If accompanied with plenty of salt. In fifwuvati d cases, however, the free use of this iiKitori'il Is recommended. Still, care must be exercised lest it should be supplied too freely, as an excess Is sonieiini'.s liable to injure the butter, bivause the putrid, oily matter of the bone Is x creted by the udder as a sort of oleo margarine. But if the meal lias boon thoroughly clarified, this trouble is less ipt to occur, as it may be avoided al together by the use of cotton seed men I. which is rich In phosphates without containing the obnoxious mat ter liable to be in bone meal. The necessary mineral clement can probably lw furnished in hay that has been manured with superphosphates, which furnish lime and phosphoric acid that are jrreedlly taken in by the plant. IndeiMl. the recent outbreak is iccounted for by the fact that whero it occurs, little, If any, mineral firril 1zers arc nted. They are now being applied more extensively, and the trradual disappearance of the disease will doubtless follow. IHtiw to Make a Good ftardrn. The soil must be well drained, either naturally or Artificially. It must bu rich; and tiw manure should be thor oughly worked into the soil. Tlow the land in the autumn, and plow it again its early as ivwsihlo in the spring, if there is any rubbish, remove It or dig holes and bury it below the reach of the plow. Then plow apnin, or work the land with a cultivator. I take oft some of the Inside teeth of the cul tivator, no that the horse can draw the cultivator ns deep, or nearly as deep, as the land has lioon plowed. This work should be done when the hoII is dry and the weather warm. You cannot possibly stir the soil too much while the sun Is shining. It lets in the uu s rays and warms and mellows the soil, on light, sandy soil, thoroughly and deeply plowed an 1 manured the fall previous, there are many crops which can be sown to ad vantage without again plowing In the Kprinx. U often ltnppen in this latitude that five or six inches of the surface soil in the spriujr is thawed out and- dry enough to work, while underneath the ground Is frozen solid. If we wait till this frozen soil can be plowed, we frequently los n irood oti- pmrtunlty for putting In early crops of jieas, potatoes, onions, cabbage, let tuce, radish, spinach, etc. And be sides, the soil that we turn up with the plow, and which comes to the surface and In which we sow the seed is cold and damp while the surfaco soil which we turn under is warm ana ary. Kalilng Celery. Celery is one of the most healthful and delicious of tiiblo vegetables. To grow it successfully, the young plants should be set in a trench, with a foot of well rotted manure placed In the bottom. Use plenty of water in set ting out the young plants, and shade from the sun for a day or two. After 'SteKifsd m vs. that the p!."n!s may be left to them selves, except for a good watering evc-ry night in dry weather, and un occasional hoeing. It Is no rr -r.ble to bleach celery. When Ihe phruts have reached a height of eight to twelve inches, take two boards, place them about eight Inches apart on each side of the plains and snpiirt in a straight position with stakes, as shown lu Illustration. I he plants will soon begin to bleach, and will bleach evenly and without rust As they grow taller, the earth may bo drawn around the roots, and n boards raised. This plan of bleaching celery for early use is prac ticed by many market gardeners. The Beit Breed of hwlne. Agriculture, like other industries, is passing through a radical change, a change from the roots up, for this Is the meaning of the word radical. Con sequently, material, as well us me thods, must change.

Every primitive man thought he knew it all. People who "take to drink" some time find that drink ultimately takes them. When n man does what he likes, and get paid for it, ho has found bis vocation. Ilorsehoes are an emblem of good luck, provided they are worn by the winning horse. A child being naked, "What is the plural of forget-me-not?" answered, "I'orgct-us-not. A patient should pay his doctor as soon ns he gets well, Just to show there is no 111-foellng. "This would bo a nice world," said the careworn editor, "If writers had mere originality ond compositors less.' Several of the ancient nations con s-idered that the disembodied spirit was n tangible substance of a bluish color. Young men ought not to be cynical and sneering turning up their nose before they have learned to keep it clean. A Frenchman has published a book, in which lie predicts that, sooner or liter, chimpanzees will take the plaeo of hired girls. Herbert Spencer says that "beyond all question, In respect to mechanical appliances, the Americans aro abend of nil nations." The flowering of ';ho buttercups Is I always a great, and, I may truly say, religious event in my year. James liussell iAiwell. Those who have suffered much are like those who know many languages. They have learned to understand and be understood by all. People who are always taking care of their health are like misers, who are hoarding up a treasure which they never have the spirit to enjoy. Tii the "Kelp Wanted" column of a local paper an advertisement recently appeared from a restaurant for a man "to wait for a small but sure salary." "Don't you think there are very good people In the world V" "No, they are all dead." "(Jracious! You must have been walking through tt ceme tery.' "It Isn't the trouble a man has In meeting bis bills that gives him a careworn look," says a philosopher. "It's the trouble he has dodging them." Pamphlets owe their name to Pom phela, a Greek lady, who left behind her a number of scrap lnoks contain ing notes, recipes, anecdotes and memorauda. Thcro is no form of amusement so objectionable as that of practical j.-kes.

H TUMI 'ttlf Li ' WOMAN'S WAYS AND DOINGS. Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher Is eighty five years of ago, and opposes woman suffrage. The one point upon which a hen peeked husband and his wife agree Is when she wishes she were a man. A good sewing machine is supposed to do flie work of twelve women. First Hi lug you know it will lie wanting to vote. ' In a Western school for girls the other day there was a debate on the question, -is luiu a greater writer than Anon?" Mr. Gladstirae Is one of the greatest opponents of divorce In the FngHsh spt-akrug world. He believes that marriage Is a contract which only ex pires when life Itself expires. Kentucky is said to have been the first State in the Union to grant school suffrage to women In 1845. Kansas followed in 18(51. To-day the women of twenty-one States have this privil ege. Small though she may be, the Czar ina of Kussia Is a very brave woman. Although she is fully aware of the danger her husband stands in from the Nihilists, she Insists on driving with him wherever ho goes, hoping that her presence may be some pro tection to him. An American girl of average breed ing and with a good bank account iinds It an easy matter to enter the London world, says a correspondent Her manners, lu fact, need not be good; the American girl Is expected to show some minor eccentricities; so ciety demands from her "American isms," adjectives of easy virtue, little defiances and brusquerles. But no mutter what she does she Is a success. A rather startling Industrial de velopment is reported from Victoria, where women have now been substi tuted for men at no fewer than 2H) railway stations. The result has been a saving of 30,000 per year in sal aries. The average wage paid to a station mistress is twenty pounds per year, whereas "the objectionable male" used to receive lo(. But. as the Sydney Telegraph asks, "How Is the Victorian woman going to support a husband and family on twenty pounds a year?" MARK TWAIN'S PHILOSOPHY. Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits. If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous ho will not bit you. This is the principal dlffereucu iK-twecu a dog and a man. Even popularity can be overdone. In Koine, along at first, you are full of regrets that Michael Angelo died; but by and by you only regret that you didn't see hiin do it. Behold the fool salth: "Put not nil thine eggs in oue basket" which Is but a manner of saying, "Scatter your money and attention;" but the wise man saiih, "Put all your eggs In the one basket nnd watch that basket." July 4. Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than In all the other days of the years put together. This proves by the numlicr left lu stock, that one 4th of July per year Is now inadequate, the country has grown so. We know all about the habits of the ant, wo know all about the habits of tlie bee, but we know nothing at all about the habits of the oyster. It i.'euis almost certain that we have been choosing the wrong time (or studying the oyster. Sport and Spoiting.

Vigilant the winner of the America's Cup, will be ready to sail across the Atlantic in ten daj s or two weeks, ar.d the Goulds' steam yacht, Ataluiita, in which Howard Gould will cross, will be ready about the same time. Howard Gould, who with his broth er George, owns Vigilant, said that elTorts were beinjr made to have both yachts ready for the ocean voyage by June 1. He thought Vigilant would be ready a couple of days before Atalanta, in which case she would not wait for the steam yacht. " Vigilant," he continued," will go direct to Glasgow, while Atalanta will proceed to Southampton. " Vigilant's racing spars and sails will be shipped on an Anchor Line steamer to Glasgow, and will be ready when she arrives. Tl ere she will be fitted cut. If she then shows as clean a pair of heels as she did to Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie we will seek races with fhe fastest of Enclish cut ters." In speaking of Vigilant to day How ard Gould said : " It was my inten tion to go over to England in the vigilant, out as I was unable to se cure any of my friends to make the voyage, and as I did not relish the idea of being alone, I gave up the uea. 1 nave made arrangements to go over in the Atalanta. That will be more pleasant for tie reason that there will be a jolly set of boys on board. Although the party is not en tirely made up as yet, I think there will be twenty of us to go." In speaking of Vigilant s races on the other side, Mr. Gould said : "The conditions beinj dilferent, of course we do not look for the same success over there as Vigilant had Here, hull we hope to win some of (he races. I expect when my brother George ai rives in England next week he will cable me just how our chances ire for entering in the early races. He will not issue anv challenges im mediately, but may issue one for races in August. My countrymen must not expect Vigilant to win every race, but they can rest assured of one thing, we win do our level best to win. If we should lose it won't be our fault." Ihila. J'rcsH.
