::; -;t-t t..- '.t'r'i'o? I If you want lo raise "stunts" keep j the calves in the patch with the pigs. A small quantity of bad milk will poil a whole mass of cheese at the fac tory. A cow is a milk producing machine and an exceedingly complicated and sensitive one at that. A tablespoonfui of clear lime water, or a raw egg put into the milk at every feed will cure scours in calves. Heating curd too suddenly causes the pores to contract so that the whey and gas are not sufficiently liberated. You cannot make good butter from poor food any more than you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Make jour butter and cheese aa good as possible, and then make the same ef fort to sell them to the best advantage. It is said that there is not an estab lished iule of agriculture which there is not almost as much experience to dis prove as to confirm. A layer of cotton batting round a hill of any plant which is apt to be infested with creeping insects will deter them from approaching ; they do not like to get entangled in it. At the approach of winter all the poor cows, old horses and otherwise de preciated stock should be disposed of. They cost as ranch to winter as stock that will increase In value, besides the danger of losses in wintering. At any time now spare days may be employed in plowing for wheat. The woik can not be done too thoroughly or the ground to well prepaied. Wheat rarely receives the attention it should m preparation, which largely explains why the American yield hovers near a dozen bushels per acie. The injury that the crow does to the corn, by pulling it up, is not generally great, and can be easily guarded against A more serious indictment is found in the fact that the crow is the great ene my of insect destroying birds, whose nests it robsjandwhose young it kills The sir irrel is also open to the same charge. To insure a good catch of timothy seed it should be sown in the fall with wheat or other winter grain. It is rath er best to sow a few weeks after wheat seeding, else it might get growth enough to injure the grain crop the sub sequent season. If clover is desired the seed should not be sown until spring, as young clover is very tender and will all be winter killed. It is well understood by farmers that there is a joint worm that attacks bar ley, and often makes it light weight. It is siimlar to, but distinct from, a joint worm that attacks wheat. It is believed, however, that the barley joint worm also, under some circumstances, attacks thtf winter grain, and hence is suggested a caution against proceeding wheat with barley, which is quite com mon in the winter wheat growing local ities. There is a great advantage in having a hay cutter in the barn. By its use straw and other coarse fodder can be so mixed with meal that stock will eat all readily, and thus the capacity of the farm to keep stock and make manure m?y be largely increased. The stubs of coarse corn stalks will not be eaten un less steamed, but it is worth while to cut them up, if only for the advantage of havintr fine manure to be evenly spread during the winter and spring. An Illinois drover and butcher sayi that twenty-five years ago it was diffi cult to find yearling steors that would weigh six hundred pounds live weight. They were not considered fully ripe until four years old, and then fifteen hundred pounds was considered an ex treme weight. The feeding now is no better than then, or at least not more costly. Solely by improved breeding it is found possible to produce yearlings that weigh one thousand pounds, three-year-olds heavier than the four-year-olds, and full grown steers weighing twot housand pounds or more. There is certainly no more bone and frame in the improved stock, and it is conse quently worth more per pound to the butcher. If it has taken more feed it has returned a larger proportion to the manure heap. Hoiious Weeds. That class of plants known as nox ious weeds is the coating which nature has taken to cover np her waste places and neglected soil. Without such a covering the soil would become sterile, unless cultivated by man ; and one-half our farming lands would become a des ert. They are the outgrowth of large half-tilled farms. The average farmer tries to till about twice as much land as he can till properly and consequently bis crops are about two-thirds weeds and one-third grain. Oar roadsides abound with weeds, the fence corners grow weeds and briers and our grain is full of weed seeds. The most common weeds are the thistle, burdock and wild parsnip, but all of them can be done away with through cultivation. Only till what land you properly can, and I will assure vou that the weeds can be kept down. If you are not able to keep j them down on all your place, set out forest trees or sell what land you are not ablejto work as it should be worked and you will raise more, have better health and make more money than you did before. The best way to get rid of Canada thistles is to thoroughly plow your thistle patch and plant it in corn or some other planted crop and then cultivate and hoe the piece thoroughly i and cut off with tLe hoe every thistle that comes up. Sow no weed seeds and let uone.gtow and you will be rid of them. If the thistles flourish in your pasture, mow them down several times during the yearnd they will soon dis appear. To kill burdock, wild parsnip, etc., buy a grub hoe au instrument something like an adz and cut off, just below the surface of the ground, every burdock or parsnip you can find. The o'.l root will not start again. Never theless weeds will flourish as long as f.arrrws persist ia woiking three or four Limes as much land as they are able to. U'.o .1....' ,... i I.- -J v a. tii.it:. "I !:.; rrr; wV "t i! a-.v: ; :. rt. r rich as if I uwucu the coucuy. About midnight I heard a clap of thunder, and the house began to rock like a willow tree, Then everything was quiet for a while, and I went to sleep. .Early the next morning my wife got up and looked oat of the window. ' 'John,' said she, 'where on eaith is your wheat ?' " What,' said I, jumping out of bed, 'what's that you say ?' " 'Where's the wheat?1 "I looked out of the window too, and I saw, stranger, the most remarkable sight I ever saw. There wasn't a grain of wheat within a mile of me. My barn yard was gone, the horse, the cows, and even the pigs were gone. There wasn't a remnant of my barn. I dressed and walked out of doors. The place was all changed, stranger changed in a single night. My house was sitting in a garden by the side of a creek. There was a new barn in the yard, some red cows mine were white ; some black pigs all mine were spotted, and instead of wheat theie was the all firedest stack of corn stalks you ever looked at. I thought at first that I was dreaming, and asked my wife to kick me. but I wasn't. About breakfast time some neighbors came in and asked where Mr. Jones was. I had never heard of him. " 'He used to live here,' they said. 'He lived here last night.' "Then I told them of the crash and the rocking, and they said I must have been struck by a tornado. I asked them where I was. They said I was in Izuid county, which was fifty miles south of where I went to bed. Sure enough, they were right. The strangest part of it was, the house wasn't hurt a bit. The roof, even, didn't leak. The neighbors said it was a visitation of 1'rovidence. and the place belonged to me. But that wasn't all, stranger, About a year after that I heard from some of my old neighbors that Jones' house had been moved right up to where my old house stood, by the same blasted wind. Both of us concluded to stay where we were, and avoided any trouble on that account. I've been away three months, and can't exactly Bay where I do live now, but I expect I am still at the old stand." Becoming a Desert. The story that comes from Colorado speaks ill for its future. A large part of that State was included in what was known years ago as the "Great American Desert," a region reported to be parched, barren and uninhabitable. The pioneers came, the desert rolled back, and for a while it bloomed like a garden. To-day it threatens to return to the parched and dried up appearance it presented when the first explorers saw it. The loss and damage which have followed this change of climate, and the heat and drought of the present summer, are already great. Vegetation has been destroyed, the crops have been burnt up by the intense heat, and thousands of cattle have already fallen victims to it. The cattle are being rapidly rushed out of the State, where there is barely water enough to supply the demand of the human residents. The Governor has been waited on, and has promised all the assistance in his power. He will see that the water in the State is husbanded, and will prevent its monopolization by the great ditch companies. But, withal, the situation is disagreeable, the more so since the people of Colorado belitve that a perma nent change is going on in the climate of their State. Its winters are more severe, its summers hotter, and the sup ply of water is growing annually less. This has been so marked for a number of years past, that great fears are enter tained lest Colorado may be relapsing into the condition of affairs prevailing in the days of old, when a large portion of its area was marked as the ' Great American Desert.." Even if this prove to be a false alarm, the unfavorable seasons that Colorado has had lately will prove a check to its prosperity, showing that it has reached the furthest limit of its development. The Mountain Lions of .Montana. Montana boasts the largest and most ferocious specimens of the mountain lion to be. found on lha Pacific coast. They are found In great numbers all throngh that country, and their ravages extend o far as not only to attack weak calves and yearlings on the ranges, but also sheep, goats and full gtown steers. The natural home of the animal is there. The creatures are so bold and have be come so numerous that the settlers are obliged to wage a war of extermi nation. The territory offers a bounty of J-S for every scalp, and in winter the cowboys, having lots of spare time, de vote their energies to hunting the lions, which thy find to be a profitable pur suit as well as full of adventure and ex citement. Specimens aie often killed measuring nine feet from tip to tip, and weighing 200 to 300 pounds. Many more measuring from ten to eleven feet are frequently bagged, and occasionally a monster reaching twelve feet. Facts About the Stars. Alpha Centaurii, the leading star in the constellation of the Centaur, is the nearest star to the earth, so far as is known. Its distance is usually placed at from 20,000,000,000,000 to 29,000.000, 000.000 miles from the earth. A star called Sixty-one Cygni is classed second in distance, being put at 54,780, 999, 000. 000 miles distance from our globe. Most of the stars, however, are millions of times farther away from us than these. Light travels about IPG, 000 miles in a second of time, and yet with this incon ceivably rapid velocity, it would take light about twelve years to traverse the space separating us from that star. From the greater portion of the stars light would be many centuries reachirg j us. That is to say, in these particular j instances, the stars wtr.ch we see are not j the stars ss they exist to niijht, but as ' they existed before Columbus 3ai:ed on ! his voyage of discovery, or even before I the creation of Adam. When hunger pinches, poverty braves j the storm. ! IlA IV L rJ.

Id une form or another, aa the obfatructinjz barrier, or as the gracious medium, the magic fluid that makf or mars ei h.tui m-nt, the flood from which surpassing treasures are retrieved, or in which life is Gnally lost, we Qnd this element con spicuous ; and it would, indeed, be a curiously interesting compilation that should bring together all the streams and channels of myth and story, th rivers, fountains, meres, lakes, and tarns that have been eventful in legend and fable. It would be found that in nearly all of them, where the closing tragedy of life hai its scene laid in the sub-aqueous abode of the water folk, there is a tendency on the part of the narrator to make death by drowning an easy and painless mode of escape firm existence. Enamored water fairies coixe and claim the strong swimmer, or carry off the bathing girl as a playmate. The dark blue water from the glacier rues icy cold and very deep. The doomed yonth, however, plunges in, and all of a sudden the drops of water around his head glitter as if lit with blue flames, and tinkle by, like the chiming of fairy bells, and the Ice Maiden lises from the ground and kisses the swimmer's feet, whereupon a cold, deathly chill strikes through him as he sinks ; and then all is still. "Happy was he thu? to pass from life to life," Bays Hans Andersen. Xor do those who have been rescued from death by drowning, even when life had seemed extinct, speak of their last moment of earthly consciousness with horror. They remember the struggle, followed by a more brief bewilderment of sounds, and a still more brief Hash of thoughts : but after this a gracious for Ketfulness overcame them, and they seemed to sink into sleep. Men and women have thus descended into the abyss of death, and have looked into its secrets "as far perhaps as human eyes can have looked and been permitted to return." At a certain stage of the de scent the vision is struck as by some phosphoric radiance, and the water is broken up into glittering points, and simultaneously, so some have left upon solemn record, "a mighty theater engen ders within the brain. "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, every act, every design of the past, lives again, and a light falls upon the whole path of life backward into the shades of infancy. The very instantaneity of th process, however, presenting everything, not in succession, but as co-exlstent, deprives the sudden retrospect of its terrors, and unconsciousness, they pretend, comes as a sense of relief and even of physical pleasure. The unfortunates, tbe weak oops, or the most sorely tried, whose names stand on the death roll of our mmy different waters, have piobaoly no definite preference before them when they seek from the cold, dark water the solace which earth will not offer. They see in the rolling tide merely a form of suicide which is free from many of the shocking incidents of other modes of self destruction, and one that needs no money to compass it, nor preparation beforehand to insure its certainty, and then, too, all is over so soon. No won der, then, that when the fascination for suicide takes hold of the wretched, they should turn to the dark river as to a friend; and little wonder that in the great cities the tale of the dead should be annually so great. DAKOTA STORIES. A Great Country no Doubt, but the Stories A bent It Greater. About two weeks ago I saw a farmer out behind a straw stack gathering into a heap a lot of old bones and pieces of hides, and sprinkling salt on them. I saw the same man yesterday selling a fine pair of steers to a butcher up town. They were so fat and bad filled up so fast that he had bound their hides with an old buffalo rope. This granger was a Sunday school superintendent before he came to Dakota, but he swore those were the same cattle I had seen him kicking together behind the straw stack. He said all they had eaten was some wild grass that bad sprung up in bis door yard, where the women folks had thrown a few tubs of warm soapsuds on wash days. He said that he had learned the best way to winter stock in Dakota was to knock them to pieces in the fall, and set them up again as wanted, other wise, unless there happened to be a blizzard every week, they were liable to get too fat and round feeding upon the native grass. Last fall I stopped at a house to get a match to light my pipe. The man told me to go right out Into the garden and pick all I wanted. I did not know what he meant at firs, but be went out with me, and I'm almost afraid you'll think I'm a liar for telling it there was about half an acre growing of the finest parlor matches I ever saw. They were as thick as hairs on a blind mule. He said he had a poor crop the year before, because the seed was too good for such soil. So this year he had mixed his seed matches with about one-third toothpicks and got a splendid yield. I went out after breakfast and saw the man blowing up Hubbard squashes with gunpowder. They were too large to be moved, and the farmer wanted the ground. I noticed that one of his wife's lege was about eight inches longer than the other, and tbe man explained it in this way : lie said that when tbey first came to Dakota they lived in a "dug out," with nothing but tbe ground for a floor, fiom which they had to mow the grass once a day to find the baby, ne said his wife was In the habit of sitting with one leg over the other knee, and tbe leg that remained in contact with the soil got such a start that the other could never catch up. "I wish, John, you could be contented to settle down and live like other people i and not go roving all over ihe country. You must remember that 'a rolling stone gathers no moss.' " "True enough, father; but you must also remember that 'a setting hen never gets fat.'

The liver se cretes the bile and acts like a filter or sieve, to cleanse Impu rities of the blood. By irregu larity In its ttcticn or suspen sions of its functions, the bile is liable to overflow Into the blood, causing-j a undice, sallow complexion, yellovr eyes, bil ious diarrhoea, a languid, weary feeling: and many other distressing- symptoms. Bilious ness maybe properly termed an affection of the liver, and can be thoroug-hly cured by the grand reg-ulator of the liver and biliary organs, BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS.
