A flimtinsr pnrnprnph in tho nprirnl
tnrnl columns of certain papers say that
hcoii ami rows may ho prolitnlily pas
tured together. The sheep bito closer,
while tho rows require a large growth to
pet comfortable mouthful. The old
farmer smiles nt the iclra. Instead of
the sheep leaving the longer herbage for
the rows, their trampling soils it so tlmt
cattlo have to be starved into eating it.
Only n very few sheep aro needed when
pastured with cows to soon make tlw
pasture nearly as bare ns the centro of
the highway. Sheep will, when pas
tured closely on clover or timothy, de
stroy these plants by eating down to the
roots, and if nr-i eni-nry, part of the rooti
themselves. Neither sheep nor horses
should be pastured with cows unle tho
latter have pretty full rations of soiled
crops and grain, and are only turned
into the pastute for exercise. Ameriyin

Care of Work Horses.
A Canadian tanner says it is foolishly
Cruel to make a horse w ork in dust and
hot sun for hours without water. In
summer give water at least five times a '
aay. If tho horse is warm make him ;
drink slowly. Give him all the water
he wants before meals, none after; be
will want none if his food is moistened.
Money is made by giving water of an
igrceablo temperature, winter or sum
mer. If tho horse has been hard at
work give no water until he has rested
fifteen minutes, nor food for thirty min
utes. Drive slowly tho first hour after
a meal. Allow tho horse to roll on dry
earth or sawdust once a day at least.
The evening is the best time. Then at
once groom him thoroughly and outside
the stable. Thorough grooming cleanses
the hide as well as the hair. A dry
shampoo is best for a horse. Setter use
elbow grease than water. Bed liberally,

Farmer,
Plows and Plowing.
Professor Sanborn, last year, at the
University of Missouri, made various ex
periments with plows and in plowing.
A summary of the conclusions as aT
rivoil at, is given as follows by tho farm,
field aii-l 8:"cl mm :
A deflection of the traces when under i
draft from a btraight line from shoulder I
to doubletree, re-ulis in a dciidcd loss
of power, and am h lot is applied to the !
galliug and worrying of thu bor.se. j
Tho use of a truck or a little wheel
under thu end of the p.'uw beam gained I
34.1 per cent, of the diaft as an average ;
of the trials made, and iu addition gave !
a moie uniform furrow and iclicved the
plowmau. Th s saving can be made ouly
when the line of draft is right.
The use of the coulter, was, without
exception, attended with a decided lost
of force or increased draft by whatcvei
form of ronlter used, but was less with
the new style coulter than with the roll
mg and ld fnlnoncd coulter. Tlie
average gain of draft by dispensing with
the coulter was ll.tl per cent. The
coulter invariably disturbed the line of
urn it, resulting in a Turrow of dilferent
dimensions from those formed without
it.
The draft of a plow decreases as depth
of furrow iucrcascs, until it reaches tho
plow's normal capacity, and then in
creases hs the depth is increased beyond
this capacity of tho plow. This law is
modified bv the fact that as a furrow in
creases in size, the ratio of cutting face
or i-d go of plow to the furrow turned
uoercascs.
The draft of a plow decreases as width
01 lurrow increases, until the normal
capacity of the plow is reached, after
which it increases a,rain under the same
limitations as in previous cases of depth,

standpoint of draft it is poor economy
to turn a small furrow. Threo horse's
are better than two in plowing.
If one adds the savings from the threo
factors discussed truck, coulters and
width and depth ono gets 4!'. 7 per
cent. ; or a plow with truck on, coulter
oT, ami plow a god-si.ed furrow, will
give this per cent, of gain when put
against a plow with coulter on, truck
oil nnd turning a shallow, narrow fur
row; or rather the latter would draw
4'.i.7 per cent, harder thin the former, if
tho professor's data are correct. A seven
by fourteen inch furrow requires about
three horse power to turn it. Those
who use two horses either turn a small,
costly furrow or overdraw their horses
upon sod land of the kind in question
a clay loam. A furrow turned, whose
size is not normal to the plow, is usually,
if not always, a jerky or uneven one,
poor and hard on the workman.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Ho not cut tho lawn too frequently
when tho weather is dry.
Do not neglect to support the tomato
vines with brush if nothing else.
The general aspect of the dairy animal
is thinner, Bharpcr and more angular
thaa lho feeding animal.
Buckwheat sown just late enough to
escape early autumn frosts will give
1 irgor yield than if sown early.
Fodder corn is alwayVbest planted in
drills. Sow from half a bushel to a
bushel an acre, according to tho variety
selected.
A hundred rods of fence above actual
need become a tax on labor and material
that may better bo cut oil by removing
the fence.
It makes no difference what the feed of
the cow is if she is not supplied with
plenty of water. Without water she can
never do her best.
Take a little pains and don't let the
pigs stop growing. Whenever the pigs
come to a standstill all the food then
given them is so much lost.

The Occasional Drinker.
United States Senator O. H. l'latt. savs In
the New York mei intent: The must 'ciitll
cult phase ot the problem is that those who
drink least most eTivtuallv hinder temper
anee progress. Is this proposition a harsh
one) I tx'Hove it to lie true, nnd 1 slate it for
the sake of truth and of letup ninee. When
1 assume that threo fourths of our lnnlti
adults drink, I do not mean to he understood
that three f airths. or even una fourth of
them aro inti niiernto or excessive drinkers,
in the popular meaning of those terms. '1 he
drunkards, the hard drinkers, and the liquor
sellers comliine.l could not hinder temper
ance progress for nn hour if their etrorts were
not snpplvm 'iitoit by the mllnenec of tho oc
casional drinkers. Ti e great majority of
those who ilrinU are occasional drinkers only
men who do not drink enough. In thetr
own estimation or the eitiumtioii of tho
general putilie, to do any harm, l.iit w ho
drink just enough to array their influence,
as well as their example, oh the side of drink
instead of on the side of t 'mperanee. If it lie
known that a man drinks chatiu a -ne once a
month, that is sufficient to destroy his in-
inH-nco lor temperance, if a man dunks
neer once a week, and it is not puliliclv
known, he does not usualiv assume the role
of a temperance advocate. ' llosenrecly feels
like asking others not to drink; he docs not
think it exactly consistent to rebuke the man
of whom ho buys the w ine or beer for liquor
solline. The niost he feels liko iloilii? is in A
sil.nt way to w ish the cause of teniiM-rance
success, and in a ipiiet way to deplore what
in- cans meevus oi in.einperan.'o.
It is just these occasional drinkers who
constitute the barrier over which ths
tempcrnn.e reform does not, and in the
nature of things cannot pass If there were,
but two classes, if there were only the in
temperate and hard drinkers in one clas
and all others were total abstainers, the
toniieranee problem would ba settled at
once. Wo would pass prohibitory laws and
enforce them. We would practically sup
press the sale, and bettor than nil, when the
.uwent generation of intemperate and
labitual drinkers died out we should hnvo
no moro forever, for tho drunkard is nn
evolution; ho is cnvolved from the occasional
drinker. There is no missing link: the pro
cess of evolution is apparent. Jsow we piss
prohibitory laws, if at all, with nighty
struggle: we enforce them only partiahv by
tho most strenuous effort: and. worse t linn
all, the process of drunkard development goes
on unchecked.
Does anv ono doubt that we could enss
and easily enforce prohibitory laws in Con
necticut n a clear majority of our citizens
were true tot.il abstainers! Adit to the
present total abstainers the occasion-it drink
ers, ami does any one doubt that there would
las such a majority I ould to Uod it might
1)0.
Who then stands in the wav: who are most
responsible for failure I 'sorrowfully re
peat my conviction that it is the men who
drink but occasionally and who are consid
ered "temperate" men; the men who only
drink wine at dinners or receptions, beer
when asked, whisky w hen it seems awkward
to refuse. To such drinkers 1 anneal to be
come total abstainers. They can easily ab
stain if they will: abstinence would involve
no sacrifice: would reoiure no crent moral
struggle: but oh, what an upliilineof hu
niamty there would be as a result of such ab
stinence!

(and no right-thinking and candid man, be

cense such trallic, then, whether tho license
fee be high or low, must be wrong; it is, in
fact, a crime and disgrace to l he boasted
riviliiation of the nineteenth century. To
license it, is to make lawful that which God

Hereditary Inebriety.
In the International Congress of Anthro
pology, held ill this city last month, among
tho papers rtad was one contributed by Dr.
Norman Kerr, of London, President of the
Society for the Study of Inebriety, upon
hereditary inebriety. The paper, which was
read by Dr. Lewis I. Mason, of Brooklyn,
awakened much int-rest. Heredity, it was
tlirmtil, was the most potent cause of those
leading to ine riety. "Fully one-half of
inebriates," says lr. Kerr, "have had this
fatal inheritance handed to them." Again he
says: "A morbid state of organ or tissue may
descend, Thcs, the first child of isrebriaie
area's may Le an idiot, the second au epilep
tic, the third a neurotic, aud a fourth an ine
briate. '1 he heredities are so pow erf ul that
tlie health history of inebriates should be
carefully traced, so that prowr allowance
could be made for the physical inability sli
der w huh many sutler.'' The lesson of this
paper einpha.sb.es very strongly the wisdom
and duty of total abstinence, especially for
all those who would assume parental re

TO thoroughly cleanse and purify panncnts without injury, they

loosen the dirt, when both can easily be removed by using a mild
but effective soap like the "Ivory," 99-iVi) 7o (lnirc)- Washing
Compounds and Soap recommended to be used in cold water, to
save labor, fuel, etc., arc highly chcmicallcd, and are so strong that
they attack and destroy any fabric they are used on.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to ba "just as good as Hie ' Ivory' 1"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.
