Raising large onions by transplanting the small seedlings has lately been rec ommended ns a new and improved method, writes a Kansas doctor. While this plan has not generally been adopted, it has been my custom for thirty years, whero I grew from the seed, to trans plant. The onion has so much vitality that it is a real pleasure to see tho little thing straighten up and ctow on. I transplant any time after they get to the size of a small wheat straw. It is al most impossible to sow onion seed with out getting it many times too thick; and onehand will transplant as much ground as two hands will thin out if they do it properly. American A-jricuUuritt. DnorriNo wool. A correspondent desires to know what makes sheep drop their wool in winter sometimes. The most prevalent causo is too warm quarters. I have seen a bunch of sheep shut in a tight room for the purpose of raising winter lambs, and shearing was neglected. By spring moro than half of the wool had dropped, and they looked more ragged than the pro verbial street arab. Sheep are sensitive to storms and cold winds, and should be protected from them. Sheltered from these is all the housing they require. The coldest nights of winter, if still and it does not snow, they choose to lie out iu the open. A shed fully boarded on three sides, and four or five feet up on the other, that there may be no draft of air, makes tho most suitable quarters. Another cause of tho wool falling is -f"cding a too heavy graiu ration at tho commencement of grain feeding. Here great caution should be observed. They should be seasoned into it gradually be fore full feeding is entered upon. JYa tional Stockman. HOW TO SUBDUE WEEDS. One important poiut in keeping a farm clear from weeds is to sec that these . germs are not imported in purchased seeds. Weeds are often introduced by Tf the farmer's own animals. Horsej that S?Jivc been fed at the town stables, and cattle that have been allowed to forage on the highways, may each be the means of bringing obnoxious weeds onto the farm. For tho hoed crops clean cultiva tion is the antidote. Cut the weeds off at the surfaco of the ground at time when they arc at their best, that is at the time of flowering, and before the seed has . v grown sufficient to germinate. This is the best method of dealing with seeds where they have become a pest in meadows and pastures. In the latter sheep are very efficient weed destroyers as they will browse closely many varieties that cattle will not touch. In some countries it is said there arc ficjds entirely free from weeds, owing to very high cultivation and careful selec Timi nf Rpmla And mnnnrna Rnri rneulfa A - - ...... ,eulb4 are cot to be expected in this country, and we shall continue to have weeds as heretofore, but they can be kept in such I subjection as to reduce their injurious I Vets to a minimum. Where they serve "y au better use, they at least give evidence 3 cf the soil's fertility. Unless rich ground is closely covered with useful plants it is I quite certain to produce weeds. Nothing f surpasses clover for smothering weeds, f If sown thickly, and stock is kept . off J from it after the mowing, so that some of the seed from the second crop will be scattered, it will gain complete posses- r -7"fioir6f tho field, to the exclusion of weeds. Ami York World. AN EAST WAT TO RAISE SWEET-BRIAR. Speaking to an old gardener the other day, who had a quantity of the hips on his, sweet-brier bushes, we suggested to him the advisability of raising a quantity of young plants from the seed. He stated that he very much wished to do so, to nave them lor young hedge plants, but has not been very successful so far, 6jjd finds them hard to vegetate. Our suggestion to him was to take the hips, wash out the seed from the pulp, then mix them with sand in a shallow box, and bury the whole in the ground, but so that they could be frozen through. By this means the outer coating of the seeds never becomes dry, which is the reason they are often so long in coming up. When spring comes, and before vegetation starts too much, select a piece of sandy soil, bring to a tine tilth as for any other crop, then sow tho seeds in rows a . out two inches below the soil. Cover in aud well firm the soil, and, our word for it, there will be no trouble raising swect-briur plauts. Those having but a few seeds and the convenience of a greenhouse may sow iu pots at once, and they will come all right in tho spring, when they may be planted out of doors. This charming sweet-scented plunt is not half enough grown. The fragrance that distills from the leaves on a moist summer eveuiug is delightful, and an old reminiscence of ours. It is also a beauti ful object when a flower, to say nothing of iu orange-scarlet fruit in the fall and early winter. lrairi Farmer. CATARRH OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. Common colds are very frequent among cuttle, horses, sheep and swine. The fever is shown by the dullness of the af fected amhiuls, which to an ordinary tb at i wr would bo the lirst symptom no r ticod. Poultry are equally Iiuble to colds. After the fever and dullness the cough is the most prominent sign of ai incut. 1 o the professional muu aud to the more close observer the mucous membrane o( the eyes aud nose are seeu to bo red. I he eye weeps and the 'ib.' runs." The tendency of irritation I tne mucous liicniijiaiies is to pass j.wnwurd. When it reaches the fauces j is commonly called sore throat; on itching the larynx it is termed laryu it; so, alto, on its descent into the Lchial tubes through which the air lies the lung's it is termed bronchitis. nrrh, or cold, is far mora common in damp, coul Hinsons of the apt in;; and The causes usually ure damp, cold, cut"! perspiration or cont'uiou. cloic, wrk horses aud oxen are more khlo to il from In-coming chilled ufter fcaUi'j:- i he prominent syuiutouiS of catarrh are chill, tremors, In cattle irchod back, dullness, dry nose, tender spine, hot ears and horns at the roots; the pulse is more rapid than natural, and the breathing quickened ; then follows cough and mucous secretion, as seen in the eyes and nose, at first thin and watery, becoming thicker and yellowish ; the eye lids look swollen and puffy; the visible mucous membranes are redder, and a tenacious discharge soon becomes more or less abundant. All the signs of weak ness become more manifest dullness, fever, mucous discharge, rough co.tt, loss of appetite, constipation, loss of flesh, or in tho milch cow, great decrease of milk. Horses cough more than cattle because they are compelled to exerciso more. Fowl sneeze and look dull. Tho inex perienced call simple, catarrh roup. But simple catarrh or cold in not roup, but if neglected it may become contagious. Tho treatment is simple, and may be summed up in goodjnursing. Good nursing may be shown by placing the animals at flicted in dry, warm, well-ventilated shelter. Cattle and horses should be blanketed and given warm flaxseed tea, in which a teaspoonful of aromatic spirits of ammonia or an ounce of sweet spirits of niter is mixed night and morning. Six ounces of linseed oil may be given to cattle, and to horses a small ball of aloes, rigs may have the flaxseed tea in milk, in which half of tho quantity of either of the spirits above advised may be given. Stables, pens and hen-houses should be kept clean. The diet should consist of bran mashes, gruel linseed tea and boiled roots beets, mangels, carrots or potatoes. For fowls, stale bread soaked in hot milk, in which a teaspoonful of red pepper is mixed, should be given night and morning. American Agrieulturut. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Use eggs of good size for setting. Generallv, all fowls that foather slowly are hardy. Ducks are more free from vermin than other fowls. Many poultrymen believe in portable poultry houses. The very best products of tho farm have the least competition. The far AVcst has vied with the South in sending watermelons to the Northern markets this year. A wild fighting hen should never be kept for hatching, as she will t&rely prove satisfactory as a mother. Farm work is hard work, but who can take a leisure day and feel it loss in his business than tho farmer? Do not expect any larm animal to "pick up'' its living. It you do it need not surprise you if the crows should pick its bones. Beef or pork cracklings, mixed with cornmcal or wheat bran and baked, makes an excellent feed for poultry of all kinds. Pigs must be kept constantly thriving to do well and maintain health. This can be done by giving them plenty of good food. For a general farm fowl there is noth ing that will excel the Plymouth Kock chicken when both eggs and a table fowl arc desired. Trees for planting that have been dug and propei ly cared for will grow the better for being planted after the soil has become dry and warm. Never use a long, gangling, overgrown rooster for breeding- It is nearly im possible to fill them up aud they never make a good tabic fowl. The little chickens that are kept in tho brooders should be watered regularly. Give them what they will drink without getting themselves wet. Geese can be picked regularly every six weeks after the first of May, and the feathers secured will pay well for tho trouble of keeping them. Rubbish under which rats can harbor should not be allowed near the poultry irVusX cr yara:, iwz mten prove very destructive to young poultry. An expert says the Florida phos phates, though immense in extent, are disappointing as to richness, and tho proportion of high grades is exceedingly small. The future of dairying must be in the line of perfection. Every man must feel that upon him personally depends tho perfectness of tho methods that are to prevail. The theory that good apples can not be grown in the South seems to bo disproven. Apples ten and twelve inches in circumference are raised as far toward the equator as Southern Florida. Bo on the lookout for feather-eating hens. If a bird shows any signs of being plucked, watch until you de tect the offender; then the best and easiest way to settle- the trouble is to fatten and eat her. If the milk has a "cowy" odor it is be cause you have got manure in it; that al ways makes a very "cowy" odor. Tho remedy is to keep the milk and the manure in separate receptacles not by straining the manure out of the milk, though; that kind of o lor doesn't strain out. To insure the purity of the Jersey, the Legislature of the Isle of Jersey for tho past one hundred years has forbidden the introduction on tie island of any animals of the bovine race except steers. Tradi tion has it that the Jersey has been known as a distinct breed over three hundred years. If your cow, after behaving like a lady for months, surprises you with a kick, don't kick back, but find out why she kicked; she had a good reason for it, else she wouldn't have done it. Perhaps one of her teats may be cracked or scratched and very sore, or her udder may be inflamed. The Deer Frlifhteiier. During the harvest times the slag and bucks iu the forests of France, attracted by the smell of the cereals and the vege tables in the Ik-Kls, come out of their re treats at night and roam about iu tguest of food.

J., a city of about 13,000 population, had a year without any licensed saloons, which resulted in the reformation of ninny drinking 'men. One mission alone gathered in more than a hundred of them, ami I hey were regarded as safe, until the sa loons were allowed to re-open. Now nine tonths of them, it is said, have succumbed to temptation, and gone back to their drinking hnbits. The privileges of tho saloons are be ing enlarged and new ones are to be licensed. The policy of tho City Council seems to be to serve the saloon at the expense of all other Interests, When It proposes to extend the time of closing the saloons from eleven o'clock till twrlve at night, it Is at the same time planning to restrict the privileges ot hnckmen and iueroaw their license fee.

ALCOHOL A8 A BEVIRAOS. It will be a shiverinj surprise t" the avor igo reader to know that of late alcohol, pure mil simple, has become a beverage in America, especially In the West, North west and in the coal regions of Pennsylvania. liven in New lork City the census returns Fstimate fifteen barrels a day as the allow moe for drinking purposes. It is an Innovation as stnrtlin as that of '.he opium habit when it came in. As the jpium habit came through the Chinese, so (he alcohol habit has come through the Poles Norwegians, Swedes, Finns, Hun jnrians and Russians. The eagerness with which any such evil practice becomes "all tho rago" among irinking people may be seen from tho fact hat, although recently Introduced and at Irst indulged in quickly, alcohol iB now sold )ver tho bar in the lower-grade bar-rooms. One-halt of the liquor sold for drinking purposes in the Northwest is alcohol. This is i phase ot the liquor problem that may well 5auso alarm, even among those who are naturally indifferent to the ordinary evils of the social drinking of light beverages. Uoslon Traveller. INTOXICATION AMONG WOMItt.. Careful investigation of the subject by Dr. Lucy H. Hall, a prominent temperance worker, has convinced her that Intemperance is alarmingly on the increase among the women of this country. This eelobratei physician, in a recent lecture at Cooper Union, New York, gave some of the results of her researches upon tho subject. The tendencies to depend upou stimulants, when once indulged in. is doubtless more marked among woman than men. By reason of their more delicate organism, they are subject to a thousand ins that men are not ana upon ascertaining that stimulants will bring the desired relief, there isa steady growth of the appetite that soou roaches a point where the Will IS SUUServioot to me inuuisence ui uv coctious, and makes them mentally and physically a wreck. Had Dr. Hall pursued the investigation in anothor channol, doubt less, sho would have ascertained that other ' evils, involving great danger, in most In stances precede this alcoholic indulgence. On every side are displayed tonics and sedatives, their alleged virtues portrayed in a manner to attract attention, and in duce indulgence to ascertain their effect. Notwithstanding the views expressed by Dr. Hall, specialists assert that the general health of women has Improved, and that the gentler sex is deteriorating is not founded upon foot. Education should be in the direction of the avoidance ot stimulants and strict attention to the laws of health. Younystoum Tel gram. pnrstciANa and temperance. TTpon no one does responsibility for tna continuance of the widely prevelant, injur ious social drinking usages rest more heavily than upon the members of the medical pro fessiou. Medicine, in the true sense, is pre ventive as well as remedial. Among the agencies productive of disease, physical and moral, intoxicating liquors are pre-eminent. The attitude which physicians as a class as sume toward the use of intoxicating bever ages, personally and professionally, therefore involves very largely for good or ill, the in terests of the temperance reform. There have been from the beginning, since thn time of Dr. Benjamin Hush, and are now, a few eminent American physiciuns who have done much to encourage, by both ex ample aud precept, the cause of temperance. But they have been and continue to be a small minority of the profession as a whole. A very large majority of physicians upou soc:-.d and festive occasions, at their ban quets, etc., do not hesitate to provide freely aud to partake ui intoxicants, i ne interna tional Medical Congress, held lost year in Burlin, apjtears to have been a striking and most unwemly object-lesson of this kind. A Berlin correspondent of the Philadelphia Medical and Survival Reporter writes: "The disgraceful scenes at the banquet given by the city of Berlin to the Medical Congress were recently the topic of discussion in coun cil. A Councilman called it 'the medical schuetzenfest,' and emphasized the waste of money. He was not altogether wrong. The money spent by the city for the Kathbaus banquet was really enormous, and the result was the total intoxication of most of tM shilling lights of the profession." This correspondent, whom we assume to be a physician, aud from the high professional standing of the journal in which the letter is published, also to be trustworthy, gives addi tional details of the great medical drinking bout in the Uerman capital as follows: "I rezret to say that the bigger the man the more he was inebriated. On a Professor whose name is a household word all over the medical world artificial respiration was practiced for almost an hour, and another professor who has revolutionized one of the most important of medical branches had a had cut in his head, the result ot a fall. A French physician who has made his name renowned by righting intemperance through exposure ot the injury inflicted upon the organism by alcohol, was unable to spell his own name. By a queer coincidence I also saw two men hugging each other who are known as irreconcilable antagonists in sci ence, one a leader in German bacteriologists, aud the other a well-known Paris processor who does not believe in bacilli." i-mcta disgraceful alooholio excesses on the part of eminent medical men, it not thus weli attested, would seem well nigh incred ible. We may hope that they would not, at least, in grossuess and want of common de cency, be equaled at any kindred gathering in this country. Yet we remember that the liquor supply for the late International Medical Congress, held in Washington, as reported in the publio journals, was very large.

Tho recent death of Georgo Bancroft in his seventy-first yenr, and the con tinued prominence and activity of Von Moltkc in Germany at the ngo of ninety, ami Gladstone in Great Britain at the ngo of eighty-one, recalls other examples of long lifo. Lophocles was ninety years old when ho was summoned before the board having control of the dramatic performances at Athens on the charge thnt his intellectual faculties had de cayed. His triumphant answer was tho reading there and then his just completed and greatest tingedy, "(Edipus at Colo nus." An esteemed contemporary gives the following list of nouogenarinns and cen tenarians: Isccrates, the "old man elo quent," was ninety-six when he wroto his celebrated "Puucgyric" oration, and lie lived to bo over 100. Gorgins, tho famous sophist, died at 108. Ilierony nni8, tho historian lived to be 104, with out any loss of mental energy. Zcnoph anes wrote his memorable elegy at ninety- two. Theophriistus composed Ins "Char acters'' at ninety-nine. Agathoclcs, tyrant of Syracuse, kept a firm grasp on on that city until he died at the age of ninety five. Passing to the Hoimins, we find that i Juvenal died at 100; that, according to Pliny, Lucia, tho comic nctress, acted on the stage when a centenarian, and that M. Valerian Corvus was in full possession of his faculties when hs died in his ono hundredtU year. Coming to relatively modern times, we note that the pencil fell from tho hnnd of tho immortiul Titian only when he was smitten by tho plague at tho age of nearly 100; nnd that no diminution of Michael Augelo's im aginative capacity was observable at the nge of ninety-five. We might add that similar instances nre on record in ancient and modern French and English history; while AVhittier and Oliver 'Wendell Holmes, iu America, are already walking close iu the steps of George Bancroft.

Some five hundred and twenty sullerers from this terriblo visitation dwell here, nnd form nbout one-third of the popula tion; but the most remarkable fact re garding the settlement is that lepers and liealtliy persons are described as living on terms of perfect intiiuucy, there being no specific leper quarter, though every house in the village stands apart in a garden. Mr. heeler Btates mat there is no case on record of the disease having been contracted here by contagion. Even where the lepers have married healthy persons, the husbnud or wifo has never been known to take it from tho other. On tho other hand, tho mournful fact is admitted that children born of such unions are generally nlllicted. Uallrondln-,' in the Himalayas.

BITIo There's a good deal of guarantee business in the store keeping of to-day. It's too excessive. Or too reluctant Half the time it means noth ing. Words only words. This offer to refund the money, or to pay a reward, is made under the nope that you won t want your money back, and that you won't claim the reward. Of course. So, whoever is honest in making it, and works not on his own reputation alone, but through the local dealer whom you know, must have some thing he has faith in back of the guarantee. The business wouldn't stand a year with out it. What is lacking: is confi dence. Back of that, what is lacking is that clear honesty which is above the "average practice." Dr. Pierce's medicines are guaranteed to accomplish what they are intended to do, and their makers give the money back if the result isn't ap parent. Doesn't it strike you that a medicine which the makers have so much confidence in, is the medicine for you? GRATEFUL CO MFO RTlNCIa EPPSS GQGOA BREAKFAST.

This is the opinion of a man who keeps a drug store, sells all medicines, comes in direct contact with the patients and their families, and knows tetter tnan anyone eise how remedies sell, and what true merit they have. He hears of all the failures and successes, and can therefore judge: "I know of no medicine for Coughs, Sore Throat, or Hoarseness that had done such ef fective work in my Coughs, family as Boschee's c,Th,.t German Syrup. Last Sore Throat, winter a aAy called Hoarseness, at my store, who waa suffering from a very severe cold. She could hardly talk, and I told her about German Syrup and that a few doses would give re lief; but she had no confidence in patent medicines. I told her to take a bottlj, and if the results were not satisfactory I would make no charge for it. A few days after she called and paid for it, saying that she would never be without it in future as a few doses had given her relief."
