The acres a fanner has toiled to bring to high productiveness are us the pplo of his eye, sometimes it would leom even dearer than family ties. Whon sons and daughters come to an age for leaving home, nine times out of ten the wisest Uitog a farmer can do is to deed them a part of the old farm. More often than not what the farmer reserves for his own ute will give him more profit than the whole would do if cultivated without the help of children who have helped hire perhaps for several years before they attain their majority, moro than he generally realir.es.

A South Dakota correspondent of Farm, Stock and Home having "lost lambs enough by wolves to pay for half a dozen bells tor every sheep in the flock," finally ended the costly and cruel slaughter by the simple expedient which has been frequently recommended by Eastern shepherds in the chronic war fare against bloodthirsty dogs of all de grees: "It is no use to pnt a single bell, or a small number, on a large flock, as fre quently a few sheep will get separated from the main flock, out of hearing of the bells. La9t year I had a few lambs killed in August. No bells were on the sheep. A small bell was put on each lamb and it ended the loss for that year. This vear the bells were put on the old I sheep, about one to fifteen. The flock i . . i 1 1 i .-I woe smuueu, uu nuuuuuh ui latum, uuwi some timo in June. In July more lambs were killed. I then bought sixty more bells, small cow bell pattern (cost, with straps, $14.50 per hundred), and put them on the lambs, and have lost none since. The wolves are here, have fre quently been seen, have killed sheep for neighbors, but havo not touched mine. One of the flock wis turned out in the morning when there was a wolf seen in the pasture, and it would not let the bells come within gunshot of it." WHEN TO SOW BEETS. Any kind of beets may be sown in May or early in June. The soil needs to be made fine and mellow, and the seed is sown in rows twenty-four inches apart for the sugar beets, and thirty inches for field beets. The seed is sown in these rows ten inches apart, but as it is more labor to drop the seed exactly this dis tance than the coat of more seed, the quantity of seed is increased to six pounds to an acre, which distributes it quite closely. The excess of plants is then taken out by the hoe, or by running a small band cultivator across the rows and leaving strips of three or four inches, with clear intervals of eight or ten inches between them. These small squares thus left contain the plants and these are kept free from weeds with the hoe. The rest of the land is worked with a common cultivator, and the small one in the cross rows, thus greatly re ducing the hand hoeing, which other wise makes much labor in the weeding of the crop. The seed may be sown by band when only a small plot is cultivated, or by a hand seed drill which drops and covers the seed at the same time, when a larger plantation is made. For the best yield the crop needs liberal feeding, either with manure plowed in 'n the fall, which is the best time, or with fertilizer! in the spring, just before the planting. New York Times. CHANGE IN DAIBY METHOD. Of late years the whole pructico of dairying has changed. It used to bo that cows were pastured through the summer, ana tbe butter was pacKea away for sale late in the fall or in the winter. Then the buyers went around and bought up the stock made in the summer. The cows were dry by the first snowfall and were merely kept alive through the winter and turned out on the fresh grass in the spring. There are many farmers who got so deep in this old rut that they could not see out of it and notice that they were left behind, and were going on alone, and quite out of sight of their wido awake neighborj. And they are still plodding along iu the same seclusion. But others on the look out for improvements changed their method and management, and are mak ing their cows wotk and make profit every day iu the year that is possible, aud for the tune tuey must rest this is chosen when it costs the least for feed ing. Thus winter dairying is tho basis of the Dew practice, and by high feed ing at this season aud "lost improved methods, butter is maJ for sale freh from the dairy, or is packed for sale iu the summer, when the cows can rest at the least cost. Butter may be made bet ter attd more cheaply in the winter than in the stunner by the use of the modern apparatus, and it ia far easier to keep the milk warm by fire at thii season thau it is to keep it cold in the summer by the ue of ice. And thus wiuti-r dairy ing will be the rule, and mining iu a smudge to fight oil the fl- ud ail the t 'lisann of the the (I I heJlt. ' disagreeable tfticts of the hot weather summer seaiou, not to mention effect on the cows themselves of xposure iu '.tit average dairy to the heat, wiU b left for the or aud iguo- to endure. American FARMING AT THE STATIONS. Tho Pennsylvania station has been ex perimenting with silage corn, and eomo scientific results as to planting and feed ing value of the different varieties of corn arc given that the Boston Cultiva tor thinks must be of general value. Thick seeding has bden found to give the best yield according to the nutritive value Forty pints of seed Corn planted to the acre gave a much larger percentage of drying matter for the silo than thirteen pints, and the dry matter of the thick seeded corn was 5 per cent, more di gestible than from tho thin seeded. Thick seeding in every way gave better results than the thin seeded. The early deut corn was found to be inferior to the large late dent, which is not so com monly sold for field crops as the former. The largo dent producod forty-three per cent, more dry matter than the early dent, and it was 3 per cent more di gestible. There can be but one conclu sion from such experiments. Thick seed ing and the use of large stalked varie ties of corn should be used for silage. The Jensen system of treating grain seeds in hot water applications before using has been thoroughly explained in this country, and many farmers adopt the method of preventing loss through smuts. Recent reports at Copenhagen) Denmark, where J. I. Pensen has beer experimenting, give as the resulting in crease of the crops through the hot water system of treating seed is between three and eleven per cents This increase is explained by tho fact that greater vi tality is given to the seed by the hot water soaking, and by the preventing of smuts. In the treatment of oats alone millions of dollars have been saved to the fanners of the world, aud this was all duo to annual outlay of several thou sand dollars by the public spirited in vestigator and discoverer of the system. The treatment of grains by this method diners somewhat in various countries according to the mosture of the climate, but the general principles are the same wherever wheat, oats and other grains are cultivated. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Knowledge of the apiary must be gained by yourself. Others may supply you with facts, but results must be tho work of one s own experience. By feeding at short interval all that an animal will eat up olean the hogs can be made to fatten more rapidly, but tho work must be done regularly. Does it cost more to raise 1000 pounds of flesh in the form of poultry than It does to raise 1000 pounds in the form of beeft Which sells for the most I The light Brahmas are of tho very best breeds to keep whore it Is doslrod to raise largo, heavy roosters that oan bo made ready for market when six or seven months old. Meehan says it is always better to prune roses early in the winter than to wait till spring, and, as a general prin ciple, it is much better to prune early than to prune late. The now chrysanthemum, Golden Wedding, attracted mucli attention' at the late show in New York, and has been pronounced as probably the finest yellow yet produced. Have you ever figured out how much profit you made by letting sheep run in a field of cornstalks till their wool was full of burs? Some time when in good spirits undertake the job. Do not feed a lot of cockerels till they become "old roosters, then sell on tho general market. It is hard to make them pass as "spring chickens" even if the dealer (?) cuts the spurs off. Professor W. A. Henry has shown by experiment that it costs V-i.oJ to pro dtce 100 pounds of gain with lambs, and $3.03 to secure the same gain with pigs of about the same age. When tbe eggs ara wanted for the in cubator, a good plan is to separate the hens from the roosters for a week and then turn them together, and then begin saving tuu eggs In a few days. While tho farm affords plenty of range and an abundance of grass for the fowls, yet with this good leed and care aro necesuary, especially during the winter, if the best results are secured. Overfed hens are liable to disease, and when leg-woakness, egg-bound, soft or extra large eggs aro laid, or poor hatchos occur, they may be directly traced to overfeeding of the hens. Some of the winter-flowering salvias aro very showy. 8. involucrata is one of the best; it has long spikes of pink flowers, and it lasts in bloom three months, says a correspondent in Garden ing On the farm, at least, it is often pos ible to keep a small flock with very lit tie expense, as they will be able to pick up the greater patt of their feed, while if a larger number were kept more feed ing would be necessary. Tue first demand of the gardener is for lettuce, and ho begins his round of profit when ne cau deliver the large, crisp heads ahead of his neighbor. Seed for letluco plauts must be started in the fall wintered in cold frames, and sown in February in the hot-bed. When chicks droop their wings and die without any apparent cause it usually the result of breeding from pullets, unless tlie chickens are being hilled or insulliciertly brooded, or by buing kept in damp quarters, either of winch would produce roup aud conse quent death. The main reason why shallow cultiva tion succeeds so well with the onion according to A. A. Crozier, because the roots grow best iu a compact Boil, and the explanation which attributes the general practice of cultivation to the kupj oeed fehallow-rootiug habit of the plaut U erroueous. Seed of the white barletta, or of tha queen onion, if sowu now, will make a line crop fur pickling before cold weather.

New York Post. HOW TO SELECT CARPETS, There are many things to learn about carpets and their purchase. The man ufacture of them is lull ot catches and tricks, and in the desire to make cheap goods, quality and everything else aro sacrificed to looks. A carpet may be made with a very pleasing surface, fairly good colors and generally attractive appearance, but will last scarcely as long as it takes to make and put it down. Tho regular tapestry carpet is printed like old-fashioned cal ico. It is made all in one color which s the color of the ground, it is then run through presses on the same general principal as any other printed article. The color merely strikes through the outside of the wool. Tbe pile is held n place only by single light binding thread, aud a single strand of the wool may be drawn out for a yard or more by giving a gentle pull at one end. While this sort of carpet may havo its uses, it is the most unprofitable thing Imaginable to buy. A chair drawn over it may pull the threads out, any rough ness in the heel of the shoo is almost certain to do it, and ordinary ue in a short time works the threads, all out of place. In body Brussels every color is dyed in the skein, then woven in, being thrown upon the surface only where this special Color is required. In this class of goods the variety of colors is neces sarily limited, as with presont machinery only a certain number can be handled independently of each other. Body Brussels carpets are usually designated by the number of frames which signify tbe number of colors used. In all carpets of this kind, the wool surface is thrown through the fabric, and shows to some extent on the bade. Unscrupulous dealers have so arranged their machinery tbat the back of tapestry carpet is stained ot clouded to follow as closely as possible the colors on the sur face. By this means unsophisticated or ignorant pet sons are imposed upon, as their idea that tbe colors show through is easily met by the stained appearance on tho back. Of course such goods are a most bare faced frvud and should be treated as such. Tbat reputable dealers sometimes handle them is not at all to their credit. What is known as velvet carpet is merely a tapestry with the pile cut. Wilton carpets have the interwoven back of the body Brussels, are yarn died and questionably the most durablo carpets made. Moqucttes and Axminsters are very thick and sometimes very durable, but the purchase of such carpets may be said to be almost a lottery. For ordinary use and at moderate coat, body Brussels is by far the best in vestment in the carpet line. Mew York Ledger. HECTPES.

Alcohol being; the product of the decom position of frrape-Juice, corn, malt, apples, or other starchy siilistancea, is therefore tha enemy of lite, the very ashes of death, writes W. J. Demorest, I'reaident Ot the national Anti-Nuisance League. Scientists agree in placing alcohol among tha most irritant, virulent and deadly poisons to animal life. A amall quantity taken purs will parallie the nerve centers, and kill instantlv. The ordinary effect of alcohol is to Irritate a!-.1 parch the mucus membranes of the In testines, and paralyse the nerves. When taken ilito the system, either in tbe form of whisky, bandy,' baer, cordials, or in light winaa, ate, iu poisonous effect, while so exhilarating as to lx very fascinating', f deleterious to all the nerve tlasuea and fibers of the body, that a general derangement of all tha vital organs Inevitably follows. The effects of alcohol contained In these beverages rinds its way to the lungs and arteries which ara connected with heart, and they become mora or loss oongestod and paralysed by the poison, and iucapabls ot rightly performing their ordinary fuuettoni; ami this burning or corroding effect com mences with the smallest quantity of alcohol taken in th system. Therefor there Is no such thing aa "moderation" in the use of alcoholio beverages; the poison in them I always active in it deadly mission, and goes on all throtign tha body. The result on the heart and brairl Is es beclally tioticcablej as these organs are very eiiBiuve, ana are so raiarae-jin meir opera tions that disease and death Would raitidlv nsu were there not in nature a geueroU amount of active recuperation struggling to counteract ana eliminate to poison. Alcohol, being a foreign, poisonous ele ment, even when greatly diluted, as in bor, which contains from tW to eirnt nor cant. bf it, does not assimilate lik food, but taxes nature witn extra exertion to expel th In truder, which is partly ejected through the lungs or breath and mostly through tbe pore of the skin and through the kidneys, which are more or leas inflamed, and there for obstructed bv congestion. Enough of tbe poison will linger in tha system to ag gravate any disease to which the drinker is liable, and hasten a fatal termination. This specitio action of alcohol, while pro ducing a general disturbance aud injury to nil tbe vital organs, is especially true of the brain, which is composed of numerous mi nute cells, of a gray, fatty substance, sur rounded by a limpid fluid. Alcohol has a strong arunity for water; and when takss in tbe stomach, being very volatile, a por tion of it goes immediately towards th brain, and disturbs the finely arrangoil nerve-fibers so as to impair their ability to nourish this fatty substance, and in this way it renders tba brain incapable of continuous logical thought or action, and the man is said to be more or less "drunk," which It another way of saying that the inan'i brain Is poisoneJ, or parched with inflamma tion and congestion. This effect can be tested by putting a drop of alcohol on the tongue; the smarting, stinging sensation proves that it is parched by the alcohol's eagerness to absorb or get at the water in the tongue, and tins irritat ing effect is the same ou all the organs of the body, besides proiucing a craving thirst A continuous use of alcoholio beverarea produces results that ar Irremediable. After numerous attacks ou the brain and other sensitive organs, a c'.ironio chang takes place in the victim of alcohol, which mauifesta itself in all tho man's actions and Character. He geiirrallv becomes moross anl stunt L With a tendenev to paroxysm of violeaos. and sometimes ldiotio hilarity. His will power is sluggish or nearly gone, and he is ett to t xmirolled almost entirely by hit animal passions, which are closely allied to criminal insanity, liesides, an ever-increas ing longing is engendered for more of th fiery liquid to gratify the cravings of an in satiable appetite, aud other symptons fol low, such as a disease I fatty degeneration, a bloated bo ly, a sluggish action uf the liver andkidueys, accompanied by a rad or in flamed skin, and sometime by offensive eruptions which can be plainly traced to al coholic poisoning. Many of these indications and symptoms of a poisoned, diseased I to ly would horrify drinKers were they suflleiently aroused, or were tuey anxious or wilhug to believe th tacts as they develop themselves in their ex perience, or could they realize that they transmit to their posterity a hereditary taint that is too horrible to ooutemnlate. But th trath comes to their impaired brains through so many insidious pi obtains of prejudice, babit ani appetite, aad they ar so uticed by the pleasurable exciting sensations that they find dilllculty in tracing th poisonous effect directly to the amount of alcohol they consume, and so are constant cheat ing and flattering themselves into a convic tion tbat they can use these poisonous bev erages with Impunity. Hence th poor victims of alcoholio poisoning, prompted by an imperious thirst, go on and on, until finally cbronlo delirium or demen tia take possession of the brain, or death itself, through some ordinary or extraordin ary disease broughtonor actively developed by alcoholic poisoning, closes the scene. This is especially true when they are attack! by cholera or other infectious diseases. The certain victims are always those whose sys tems are impregnated with alcohol. tven wnen taken as a medicine, alcoholio beverage frequently produo result far worse than the disease. Extensive hospital practice, both in this country and Europe, has proved the great benefits of an entire exclusion of this poison as a remedy, other agents toeing used, wnion ar quit as em cient, but not followed by the paralysing or Biupeiying enecta oi -alcohol's corrosive poi son. Alcohol, in its action on animal matter, is somewhat analogous to Arsenic, morphine. or strychuine; it tends to sui-pjnd decay in aeaa matter, ana in live Dodius it paraiy or mnatne with congestion, in this way showing that it is tbe active enemy of all life, or death in disguise. tte put snake and other animals, and sometimes dead men, into aloohol, to pre vent animalcule or microbes in th dead bodies from generating or living on the starchy substances contained lu them; so all actual life in the bodies is suspended. But certain disintegration and death in its most active form is produced bv th corrosion of aloohol In living bodies, anl in this way it rove itseii to be an acrid, deadly poison to uman life. Mora than 2OJ0 years ago the results of alcohol on the body were ootn pared to the bite of a serpent aud the stinging of an adder; and alcohol has not changed iu nature since. At tbe present time aluohouo beverage are certainly the most Injurious, decently an 1 damrerous elements of death and destruction that exist, and tbe annals of criminal courts prove that it is an aggra' vated public nuisauce generally. Yet these beverage are so fascinating, and the poison in them so iusidious, that th whole buimiu race has been deluded and cheated for thousands of year', aud mors injury has resulted from their use than has been occasioned by ail the woes of war. famine and pestilence combined; and now thut science, experience and an euliifhteued reason have so largely dissipated such de lusive cobwebs of appetite, prejudice aud passiou. these poisonous alcoholic beverages should be banished troin society with all th intelligent energy that an injured and out raged people cau demand.

When the coal fire Is hot and red dozen ol thece balls put Into the furnace will become red-hot and stay so, like red-hot brick, keeping up the heat far longer than coal without them. There 1 nothing like them for keeping tho hou'e warm at night, and half a dozen put ied-hot Into a brazier or porta ble furnace would take the chill oft bed rooms very comfortnbly. When rooms are heated by stoves economy lies In never letting the lire go down In cold weather, as it takes more heat to warm the iooiiu whon the walls are chilled than it does to krep them to for days. Chicago Herald. The Farmer and the Grocer. A grocer would not pay a farmer the price of a ten pound turkey for one that weighed but seven pounds. Why should a farmer pay a grocer the price of the Royal Baking Powder for a baking powder with 27 per cent, .less leavening strength ? , The Royal Baking Powder is proven by actual tests to be 27 per cent, stronger than any other brand on the inarket Better not buy the others, for they mostly contain alum, lime and sulphuric acid ; but if they are forced upon you, see that you are charged a correspon dingly lower price for them. Th First Complete It ible. The flrst complete Iiible printed in Kugland was issued in 1635 without any publisher's name. It was tho work of the celebrated Miles Coverda!c who In corporated, with revisions, Tyhdalc's books of the New Testament, as Well as his Pentateuch and Book of Jonah. It was thus only partially original as far as Coverdalo was concerned, the remaining portion being a translation of a transla tion. No perfect copy of this edition Is known to be iu existence. A copy sold few years ago in London for a sum equal to fG00 had the title, nineteen leaves and the map missing. The Ctvt-r- dale Bible is the one mentioned in these notes heretofore as the 'Bug Bible" and the "Treacle Bible," on account of two curious passage found therein. The passage in Jeremiah which we now read as "Is there no balm in Oilcadl" is made by Coverdalo to read as "Is there no more treacle at Uahahadt" The psalm which says "Thou shalt not be afraid ol the terror by uight" reads, "Thou tlialt not nede to bee arrayed for any bugs by night." Tho ninth psalm, in that por tion which should say "Put them lu fear, O Lord," Coverdale makes to say "Set a schoolmaftur ovet them." 8t, Louis He- public. " Cured of Ilrvkeu Bark. Drs. James and Thomas McCaun, of Pittsburg, are about ready to report to tho medical fra'ernity the case of John Mulligan, who was cured ol a broken back. In October, 1888, Mulligan re ceived a fracture, of the vertobrtc, and, as usual with such cases, was paralyzed from the loins down. Kight days after Mulligan's entrance to the hospital the physicians, in tho presence of 'eventy-tlve students of the West Pennsylvania Medical College, made an incision eight inches long in the man's back. Tho vertelnie were ex posed. A fracture of the archos of the tenth and eleventh verteluia was found. Fragments of bone were- pressing on tho spinal curd. This pressure was relieved. Two months later Mulligan could move his right leg. In teu months the patient walked out of the hospital. He is now at work. Thi report of tho operation was kept secret until it was proved a perfect suc cess.

Ireland Is a country rich in traditions, and in place every inch of the ground has its queer history and some quaint story attached to it. Fur instance, not far from Helfsst thnre is a romantle old well In a curious hallow of the hill called Darnas gap. The well Is known as Darnas well and is filled at the bottom with white stones, the henther around being covered with pieces of rags. Close, too, Is a largo mound, composed of stones, which is said to covor tho lone of a holy friar long since dead. Every visitor to the well appears to make it a practice of adding a stone to the -heap already there, but for what reason It ia impossible to say. Million.
