When Snake Poison Is Harmless.
Nature stems to have provided that no
poison which acts externally shall have
any elTect internally, and vice Tcrsa.
Thus the most deadly snake venom can
be swallowed with impunity, the juico
of the stomach presumably decomposing
it anil reudering it harmless. Many ex
periments have been made to prove this.
On ono occasion recorded by Humboldt
one person swallowed the whole of the
poison that could be obtained from four
Italian vipers without suffering any bad
consequences. In the same way the
poison from the envenomed arrows of
South American Iudiaus can be swal
lowed with safety, provided only that
there is no wound on the lips or inside
of the mouth. Washington Post.

Hoots should be used in driving and
breaking young horses, even though
they are open-gaited ami do not strike.
Colts are looking everywhere but where
they stop, and sometimes get their feet
miied. In such a case they may hit
cord or tendon, which is apt to atsaablo
them for weeks or months, and some
times for life. Charles Marvin, who for
merly trained tho Palo Alto colts for
Senator Stanford of California, always
booted tho youngsters thoroughly when
they took their work. Hoots are not to
keep a hcrso from interfering, but to
protect him when he strikes himself.

Tea roses are always pretty, and their
delicacy in coloring, shape, and fra
grance docs not seem to extend to their
growth, for they give almost always
good results. Tho llonsilene is one of
the most most popular of all roses, its
buds being particularly beautilul. Tho
La France, another favoiite, is olten
classed ainon' the tea roses. It lu
pink petals shaded oil to a very light,
and sometimes white, color at tho edge.
Not only are it cbse bud9 beautiful,
but the flower iu full bloom is one of the
prettiest of tho pink roses. The Som

piuk, and is a frequent bloomer. The

THE roTATO ROT.
The potato rot fungus attacks both the
foliage and the tuber of the plants, caus
ing in the one case what is called blight
of tho vines and in the other what is best
known as potato rot. The first appear
ance on the leaves is seen iu yellow spots
and a powdery substance on their sur
face) These spots soon turn brown, and
finally the whole plant becomes infected
and dies.
If tho leaf spines come in contact with
the tubers, or if the fungus reaches them
through tho stems, rotting of the tubers
ensues, provided there is a continuance
of warm, moist weather, which seems to
be a condition attending the prevalence
of the disease. In seasons when the at
mosphcre is cool the tops arc not at
tacked, and if the soil remains cool tlie
tubers will often escape when tho tops
are destroyed.
Unfavorable climatic conditions of
course cannot be prevented, but it should
be remembered that a loose, light soil
does not promote the decay like ono
in which water is held and the air enters
with difficulty. Deeply planted potatoes
may escape, whilo tubers lightly covered
may more readily contract the disease
from the vines. As a rule poiatoes should
be dug as soon as the viues show that
they have been struck by tho rot.
As an applied preventive, some o( tho
experiment stations have reported favor
ably on spraying the vines three or four
times with tbe Bordeaux mixture. Used
at half strength and with Paris green, be
ginning with the appearance of the po
tato bug, it may be made to serve two
purposes. Early plauting and early har
vesting are also in the line of safety
against tho potato rot. New York

GEE8K FOR PHOFIT.
The two kinds of geese most largely
kept where there is an eye to the prulits
are the Embden and Toulouse. The
plumage of the Eaibden is pure white,
and many persons claim it is tho more
profitable variety to keep, because the
feathers bring a better price than those
of the Toulouse or gray goose. Others
prefer the Toulouse, because it will at
tain a heavier weight than the Embden
and seems to be a handsomer and better
formed bird. An additional advantage
is that where the grass ruu is good the
Toulouse can bo kept with a water
trough only, while Embdens do not
thrive as well as with a pond. Good
pasturage is necessary, for euse are big
eaters. With this and a good pond,
keeping geeso ought to pay without
much trouble.
As many as four geeso may bo allowed
to one gander, but three is a better num
ber. Toulouse geeso will lay about
thirteen eggs. While sitting all that is
necessary is to leave them free to go out
of their Louse to get food and water.
A goose sits about thirty days. The
young ones cau be loft iu tho nest
twenty-four hours without feeding; then
they should be taken out and fed on
plenty of green grass aud giveu vuter,
with a little oatmeal in it.
The hot, dry weather of midsummer
is bard an young geeso, because it dries
up the gr.:ii and water. A few oats to
them every day will help keep them
thriving during this time. The young
eosliui'S require to be kept warm and
dry, and should not be allowed to swim
for at least a fortnight. The goose
should uot be cooped up for that length
of time, or sho may rush the goslings

scald the milk pail in which tho calves
are fed. In early culf life, though the
calf has four compartmeut i-tntnuclia, yet
the fourth, or true stomach, bus nearly
all the digestive function tu perform.
Till digestive apparatus of young ani

Over feeding, f'ist feeding, sour and de

bicarbonate of soda will correct
the state of the organ when given in the
milk at feeding. A tablespoon fill of in
fusion of gentian is a grateful tonic to
the calves stomach. The infusion is
made by boiling half an ounce of bruised
gentian root in a pint of water for fifteen
minutes. Keep the calf loose, in a dry,
sunny stall nurje tho young thing, and
when necessary give calcined magnosia,
one-bait ounce; powdered opium, one to
two grains, powdered rhubarb, one (ratn

slowly by putting clean stones in the
feed pail. Lime water, a lump of lime
put into a bottle filled with water, is
easily made, for lime is only very spar

be troublesome, a tablespoonful of laud
anum in the milk will restrain it. A
calf should be kept growiug throughout
its calfhood summer and winter. This
brings a vigorous constitution to long

fnmily or for breeding purposes. We
must lay tho foundation for usefulness in
auimals when young. Most of our best
cows owe their excellence to care and
judicious feeding from birth up to ma

ticial through lifo. That is equally true
of all of our useful domestic animals.

FARM AMD GARDEN NOTES.
Feed the poultry early in the morn
ing. One feed of corn daily is enough for
the fowls now.
Old geese usually lay and batch earlier
than young ones.
Bread wet with skim milk is good feed
for young poultry.
A dry run is absolutely necessary for
the health of turkeys.
Butter floats better when cold water is
mixed with the buttermilk.
Air-slaked lime dusted over the yards
is a good preventive of gapos.
Sweet peas should be given support as
soon as they get a good start in growth.
Generous feeding will always pay.
Any other sort is a loss both of food
and labor.
Iu warm weather, if the young poultry
are fed soft feed, no more should be
mixed than is eaten up clean.'
Milk should not be allowed to cabber
before the cream is skimmed, as in this
way a great deal of cream is lost.
Persistent losing of health and flosh
indicates that a cow is suffering from
some ailment, and her milk should not be
used.
Bran, middlings, milk and clover must
largely take the place of corn when feed
ing for lean pork instead of a carcass ol
puro fat.
In growing cucumbers for pickles keep
the soil moist, and pick each day all that
aro large enough. We have doubled our
crop by irrigating.
As au animal increases in age and
weight it requires a larger maintenance
ration. That is why we get the best
profit by early maturity.
It has been shown by recent experi
ments that fresh cream butter is more apt
to taste of tho food given cows than
when the cream is ripened.
A cow's simple cough may sometimes
be cured by mixing a handful of whole
flaxseed with wheat bran slops, and
feeding it morning and night.
Y ben the colt is nrst bitched to a
wagon don't give a load that requires
any effort to move. The foundation for
mauy a balky horse has been laid in this
way.
To know if your stock is making satis

Thirty bushels of wheat per acre is an
effective answer to the question of whether
farming pays. This average can bo had

cultivation aud planting.
Among small fruit growers, blackber

tei ve. We never see a surplus of good
varieties of this fruit. On the contrary,
the supply rarely equals the demand.
Late roasting ears are just as much ap
preciated as early ouei. One gets the
best by planting the early varieties of
sweet corn again in August. Tbe Early
Minnesota answers well for this purpose.
The American Agriculturist says: "To

J Oats cut early (when in the dough)

only to let the milk staud awhile iu a

Dr. N. 8. Davis, an ex-President of an In

years au active practitioner of Chicago, ysi
"inere is no greater or more oesiruei.ve
error existing iu the public mind than the
belief that the use of feruntuted and
distilled drinks does no harm so long as they
do not intoxicate. it is not the temperate
use, t ut the abuse of alcoholio drinks that
does harm,' is the often-repeated popular
phrase that embodies the error wiiicb helps
to rob more than luO.ooO person of trom
five to twenty yearn of life in the United
htutes, through tue gradual developement of
chronic struetural diseases, induced by tbe
daily use of beer, ale, wine or distilled spirits
in quantities so moderate as at no time to
projuce intoxication. No moro true or im
portant remark was made in tbe noted dis
cussion in the London Pathological Society
than the one by Dr. George Uarley, that
for every drunkard there arj Utty others
who sutler from tbe eft" eel of alcohol in one

WHKHK LIQUUll COMICS FROM.
In a survey of tbe. imperial statistics ot
the consumption of alcoholic drinks in Ger
many, Dr. VVm. Bole says that tbe produc
tion of tbe raw material manufactured into
wine, Wer or spirits, occupies about one
fifteenth of the cultivated land of tbe em
pire. Un this area of farming land enough
rye might be grown to supply 33UU millions
of pounds of bread more a year to every ono
of the tlfty millions of people inhabiting
Germany, or U30 pounds to an average fami
ly of live persons, which is tbe entire food
needed by the f amily for nearly fifty days,
or about oue-eigbtb more of fool than they
can enjoy at present. One-fourteenth of all
the rroduetive forces of Uermany is engaged
in th's pernicious industry. Tbe amount of
money siient on drink bas been estimated at
about $1 JO, ooti.oi hi a year, or 2.40 to each
inhabitant, or SI3 to each average family of
five. Protessor tScbinoller, the economist,
rays: "Among our working people tbe
conditions of domestic life, of education, of
prosperity, ot progress or degradation, are
nil dependent on the proportion of income
which Hows down the father's throat. The
whole condition of our lower and middle
classes one may, even without exaggera
tion, say the future of the Hation depends
on this que .t urn. If it is true that half our
paupers become so through drink.it gives
us some estimate of the costly burdsu we
tolerate. No other ot our vices bears
comparison with this."
UEI.LINO IMS OWN CU1LO POh BIER.
A recent number of the Loudon Temper
ance Chronic. e had a striking cartoon, a
picture of a father aud mother eager for
drink accompanied by a little boy whom
they were trying to sell for a drink of beer,
saying: "Uive us a pot an 1 you shall have
'iiu." This ninii and woninn were charged
nt one of the London police courts with beg
ging, and thus came out this dreadful fact
of their offering to sell a little boy for a pot
of beer. The Kior child, it is stated, was in
a drevlful condition, bis haad aud body was
literally covered with cuts, bruises and
sears; a shivering, starved, ill treated, un
cjred for, unloved atom of humanity. Tbe
Chronicle, referring to the incident, says:
"What, a revelation o? the power of drink, a
father seiliug his own child for a pot of beer
to tie used as a decoy in robbing the public.
Such conduct makes t he blood tingle in one's
veins tbat such things should bap
pen in a Christian laud. i.ut such
is the power of dnuk that a little child is
offered up ill sauritice to satisfy the unholy
desire for more liquor." Thus is furnished
in modern times tue parallel to 'the words of
the Prophet Joel, 4Tuey have sold a girl for
wine that they might have drink."
In view of bueli awlul extremities and
such unutterable degradation as the drink
habit is thua shown to induce, how funda
mentally uniiortaut the total abstinence
movement which teaches the wisdom aud
duty on the part of all to avoid strong drink
altogether, liotb in this couutry and in

Feser has demonstrated the same fact in
regard to strychino and cscrino; Spallnn
canl, Zappi, and Sonnenschein havo done
tho same for arsenic, "roehner and
Kn ud son havo made some experiments
for this purpofo with strychino and with
cscrino. Thry fed dogs with largo quan
tities of mutton poisoned with stryebine
and cserinc, and they found that no in
jury whatever was done to tbe animnls.
Besides, they thcmsclvei ate some of tho
poisoned meatind drank soup made from
it, and found that the flavor was good
and had no injurious effects whatever ou
the system. In regard to the alleged in
jurious effects caused by tho meat of
animals poisoned with hellebore, and
which bad eaten belladonna leaves, the
authors have shown that tho accounts
published in this regard have not been
ptoved and require further tests.

What Is a "Texas?"
"Very few pcoplo know the origin of
the word texns, ns applied to a certain
part of a steamboat," said an old river
captain at tbe Laclede last night. "All
modem boats don't have tho texas,
though it was an essential of tho old
system in the halcyon days of steam
boating. The texas, you know, is that
apartment of tho upper deck just be
neath tho pilothouse where the crew
shifts sleep. Tho word was first applied
in the troublous times of the '30s and
'40s, when Texas was first fighting for
liberation from the despotic rule of
Mexico, and afterward when tho United
States was plunged into war with tho
Aztecs to maintain the rights tho brave
TexaiiB had wrung from Santa Ana. Re
cruits from the United States wero car
ried down the Mississippi to New
Orleans, and thence across the Gulf to
Texas to help the Lone Star men iu their
war. The boats that took them dowu
iho river were the first to construct the
npaitment for tho crew, and that sup
ports the pilothouse This innovation
in boat building tnado it possible for
travcleis to peer through the littlo
windows from an clevnlion that enabled
them to see a greater scope of country on
both banks than they had before been
accustomed to sweep with their vision.
The innovation coming on just at the
time that Texas was causing such a com
motion all over tho world, passengers
aud boatmen with one accord always re
ferred to tbe apartment as the, , texas.
The name has stuck to it ever since, and
is about ns good as any other, though I
often hear people wonder nt its origin."

WORDS OF ADVICE
FK0X A NOTED 1'IIYSICIAN.
A Former Htuilont ot Sir Mnrrell
Mackenzie, of London, lOuglnnd.
Every physician of extensive practicj ad
mits the difficulty nay, almost bopeleesuess
of treating Nephritic (kidney) troubles
successfully. After seventeen years' ex
perience in practicing my piofesslun I bad
reached the same conclusion, and that our
usual therapeutical agents were wholly inad
equate to coie with such diseases whon my
attention was called to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Uoot,
C. F. BROWN, A. M M. D.
I have always been prejudiced against the
use of patent medicines (a failure p 'Ciili ir t J
the members of my profession), but h ro
was a preparation discovered by an old an I
scientific physician whose wide experieno,
extending over niany years, had gis'eii him
exceptional advantages for treating diseasj
successfully. Was it not, then, poible tbat
he hail found a cure where others bad failo if
I determined to test the nrittor.
Shortly after arriving at this conclusion a
young man came to consult mo who had
been a greut tufferer from Kidney and
Liver troubles for mauy yeari. He had
been treated by a numbr nt our loa lin;
physicians without obtaining any relief, an 1
came to me a a last resort though with vory
little faith in my ability to erTect a cure. I
prescribed Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Riot for
bim, and after taking the first liottlo bis
condition was materially improved. Ho
continued the trentmant until he had utel
three bottles when be was entirely euro.) an I
to-day be Is the picture ot robust health an 1
vitality. Since then I hive prescribe 1
Bwamp-Iloot for a number of my patient i,
and always witb the most gratifying results,
and now I believe it to be the best re njdy
for all Kidnoy, Liver and Itialder com
plaint, both chronic or acutj, kuown to the
world, if not an actual specillo.
With Dr. Kilmer's U. & O. Anointment I
have cured the most stubtiorn case of
hemorrhoids, or piles, of ten yeirs' st in lin;
which had been pronounced incurable after
all the approved retneJies bal been triel
without avail.
It is needless to all that experience bas
confirmed my entire conlidence in Dr. Kil
mer's preparations, which I frequently pre
scrilie for my patieuta an I invariably with
tbe happiest results; therefore it affords me
great pleasure to most cordially recomin n 1
them to surTeriug hum inity and to tbe nn Il
eal profession, as I feel surd thay wilt ac
complish all an I even more tu iu is claimed
for them in every instance.
Yours Respectfully,
