"Sunstrokes ere ooufineil almost en tirely to towns, and principally to cities," said Dr. A. C. Fowler, of Atoka, In J., at tlio Howard. "Cases ot sunstroke are very rare in the coun try and seldom futul. Men work in the broiling bud, when thermometers register over a hundred degrees in the ahado, and very seldom have to even seek shade. Harvesting is done in the hottest ceasons of the year, and yet the hands are not injuriously affected. To some extent this is ex plained by the use ot iced drinks and intoxicating liquors in the towns and cities, and it is partly due to the snn being reflected from sidewalks and bouses in a city, while its rnys are ab sorbed by the earth in the country ; bat these matters would not seem to explain all of the difference, and it appears remarkable to me that there are no sunstrokes in the country."

On accouut of this sym pathetic bond it is common for the cow to shrink in her milk yield through tho worry caused by separat ing her from her calf. Wo have set tled down to the following practice as tho moat satisfactory in our case: I he first night allow tho calf to remain with the cow. Tho succeeding night turn it in to sncklo and then removo it until morning, whon it is ngain per mitted to stick. As soon as the milk is good milk tho cow, btit havo tho calf by her side whilo yon aro milk iog. Tie so she can seo the orvlt and pcrhaps fondle it, and tho will be reconciled to tho operation at once, aud the change is mado without any worry on tlio part of tho cow or tho owner. Hue soon takes no heed whether the calf is there or not, and tho weaning is aocomplithcd without even a protest on her part. Kuril Life. YOU CAN X flUBBY THB MEN. When fowla don't liv as many ejga ns wo think they ought to, ospeoially at this season of tho year, we naturally do something to stir them up feed meat and egg producing food. If wo are not quite familiar with this lino of procedure, we aro apt to look for al most immediate resnlts, and are quite sure to be disappointed. We can feed cows for an increased supply of milk and get it quickly, be cause the process between the diges tion and the making of milk is rapid ; not so the process between the fowl aud the egg. The egg is quite oom plicated, not only in its entire strao ture but in the process of putting on tho shell tho last process, however, being tho quickest performed. The germ of tho egg being there, all that is required are the proper conditions to mature it and time. How long a time? Well, about two weeks at least. In other words, it is a matter cf haste on our part and a matter of taking it easy on the part of tho fowls. Poultry Monthly. PLOWIXO UNDER BUCKWHEAT. The quick growth of buckwheat and its broad, expausive leaves, enabling it to take much ot its substauce from the air, has suggested to others as to you that it ought to be a good orop to plow nuder for green manure. Un fortunately, however, all the buck wheat plant takes from the air through its leaves is only carbon, and of com paratively little value as a fertilizer. We have seen rank growths of this crop plowed under green, but never saw a good crop of anything else thus produced. It used to be said by old farmers that buckwheat plowed nnder from scattered seed late iu spring for corn was poisonous to the corn crop. We do not believe this, but these far mers probably thought tho buckwheat growth, being nearly as bulky as clo ver, ought to be 'equally valuable. When its results were so inferior it was easy to imagine that the corn after buckwheat, being so much inferior to that on clover sod, bad been really in jured by tho former. In one respect, buckwheat ought to be good for oorn, as it makes tho soil very light and friable, so that if the fertility is there, the corn roots will easily find it. As for plowing under buckwheat as prep aration for wheat, it should never be dote. The buckwheat will make the eoil so light aud porous that it will Lold a great deal of water, and wheat on such eoil will almost inevitablv winter Kill. iiostoa (Jultivator. STARTING A DAIRY. There are every year men starting in as farmers who have no cows of any kind. This class will, as a rule, find it to their interest not to stock up tho tirst year with the lull number of cows thoy expect to keep, in is is because it will bo found almost impossible to buy the beet cows out of any herd. It is better to raito a herd of dairy oows better lor several reasons, iirst. by using males of improved dairy b:ceds a better class of cows can be raised than cau as a rule be purchased ; second, they will be more gentle if properly trained from callhood to maturity; third, they are more con' tinted, aud contentment counts. At tho bottom of all successful dairying, whether conducted entirely on tho farm, or partly as associated dairying, is dairy education, dairy iiftliits, and sometimes it may be called dairy instiuct. Instinct is said to bo tho bum of inherited habit". This is doubtless tho best definition that cuu bo given of it. Heuce the best dairy communities are those where dairying bus been carried on for generations. induesh', patience, painstaking, keen observation aud steadfastness of purpose are nil important factors in producing good results. If dairying is not thought to be worth your best efforts let it alone by all menus. Let it ulouo if it is irksome to you.

If weeds cannot bo oomplctoly exter miutted they may be brought under subjection, and in restricted localities this subjection may approach so near to extermination as to prevent any material dnmago without requiring appreciable extra labor. If tho weed, like many of our most abundant kinds, is au annual, reproducing itself from tho seeds only and dying root and branch oaeh year, it may bo subjected by preventing seed production. Tho seeds of many annuals retaiu their vitality for several years, so that if they once become abundant in the soil they are likely to germinate at irregu lar intervals, and thus cause trouble for a loug time, even though no fresh seed is introduced. In this case merely preventing the production of seed will gradually reduco tho quantity of weeds and will preventany fnrtherspreading. A thousand young seedlings may be destroyed in this manner by tho culti vator with lees effort than a singlo mn turo plant can be destroyed, aud every seedling killed means ono less weed seed in the soil. I3arrcn summer fal lowing ia often practiced to clear out weedy land by tho method just de scribed; but usually corn, potatoes, alfalfa, cabbages, or beets may bettor do grown, giving a proiitablo return for tho extra cultivation. The best results can be obtained, of contso, with crops that allow cultivation dur ing the greater part of the scasou, and that do not ehado the soil too much, as the direct rays of tho sun heating tho surface of tho soil aid materi ally iu the germination of many seeds. As annual weeds nsuttly thrive boat in soil that has been broken but is not occupied, it is evidont that broken land should not bo permitted to re main idle. Biennial?, such as burdook, wild carrot, and bull thistle, store np nour ishment in thickened roots during the first year of growth, and during the second year they produce seed and die. Many species which are ordi narily true biennials will live three years, or possibly longer if seed pro duction is prevented by mowing or cutting the stem above the crown of the root. In fact, mowing or cutting off the main stem often induces it to branch out at the base and send np several stalks iu place of one. Cut ting tho roots below the crow usually kills them. If this work is to be done by hand with a hoe, grub boe, or spud, as is often the case with bull thistles on new ground, it can be done most effectively and with tho least labor in the fall, during the first year of growth. Biennial weeds are readily killed by cultivation snob as is given to hoed crops, and the seedd may be oleaned out of tho land by this method. Perennial weeds reproduce them selves by seeds, and also propagate by some form of perennial underground stem, as the rootstalks of Canada this' tie aud oouch grass, the corm or solid bulb of the nut grass and chufa, and tho bulb of the wild onion. A few plants sometimes closeed as noxious weeds have runners above ground, as Bermuda grass. To destroy perennial weeds seed production must be pre vented and the underground portion must be killed, beed production may be prevented by mowing when the first Uower buds appear, the same as in the case of annuals or biennials. The rootstocks may bo dug up and re moved, a remedy that can be prno tioally applied only in small areas. Salt, coal oil, or strong acid appliod so as to oome in contact with the freshly cut roots or rootstocks destroys theu for some distance from tho point ol contact. Crude sulphurio acid is probably the most effective of com paratively inexpensive materials that can be used for thiu purpose, but its strong corrosive properties render it dangerous to handle. Kootatooks may be sturved to death by preventing any development of green loaves or other parts above ground. Denver Aield and Farm. Tlio Kangaroo. Captain (theu Lieutenant) Cook, with Mr. (afterward Sir Josoph) Banks, set sail iu 1703, and, the ob servation of Venus having been com' pleted, porceeded iu the spring of 1770 to Eastern Australia, visiting among other places a spot which, on acoount ot the number of new and strange plants there to be found, re ceivod the name of "Botany Bay.' Subsequently, wbeu detained by an accident in Endeavor Ptiver, some sailors sent on shore reported they "had seen an- animal as large as greyhound, of slender make, und ex tremety swift." "Two days after ward," Captain Cook continues," as was walking in the morning at a little distance from the ship, I myself saw ono of the auimals. A fortnight af tor ward (July 8) some of the crow "set out with the first dawn in search of gumc, aud iu a walk of many miles they saw four animals of the same Kind, two of which Mr. Banks's grey hound fairly chased, but they threw him out at a great distauoe by leaping over the loug, thick grass, whioh pre vented his runuing. This animal was observed not to run upon four legs, but to bound or leap forward upon two, like the jerboa. This auimul is called by the natives kangaroo. The next day our kangaroo was dressed for dinner and proved most cxeollcnt meat." Such is the carliost notice ol tho observation of this animal by Eng' lishiKun. As Australia became better known it was found to bo inhabited by beasts ol many kinds, all of which wore pro viously unknown, wbilo thoy almost all agreed with tho Amoricitn op3 sums, in that they were "pouehcu ' or "marsupial animals. ISot uunatur ally, therefore, some of those ereiuuref were also called "oposums," thou tho name hud better havo boeu i served for the American marsupiuh Oiolusivelv, which are tho only "trut oposbuuis."

The pistol ought to have bosido It the pestle that turnod out pills liko bullots, to bo Bhot like bullets at the target of tha liver. But the postle is still ia evidonco, and will be, probably, until everybody has tested the virtue of Ayer's eugar coated pills. Thoy treat the liver as a friend, cot as an enemy. Instead of driving it, thoy coax it. Thoy aro compounded on tho theory that the liver doea its work thoroughly and faithfully under obstructing conditions, and if the obstructions are removed, the liver will do its daily duty. When your liver wants belp, get "tho pill that will," Ayer's Cathartic Pills. UaHierlng llio Lemon Crop. There is no season in California for gathering lemons, as is the enso with all other fruits grown in this country. For that reason a grower saves money in his harvest, because with tho help of cne person be can easily gather and take onre of all the fruit grown in a grove of ten or fiftoon acres. Tho times when most lomons aro picked are early in January, early in Feb ruary and again in March ; but all woll-onltivated troes havo fruit ready for picking during ten months of tho year. For that reason the lemon is an uncommonly steady and prolitio benrer. Lemons aro picked whon tho fruit begins to show tho least tinge of yel low. Tho grower and an assistant go carofally ovor each of the troes in the grove, and gather all tho lemons that have reached that Btago of develop ment. Tho fruit is out from the branohos and laid in padded bankets or bags, so as to avoid an bruisos or blemishes. The best growors are caro ful to gather only fruit of one size; for instanco, all that will just pass through a two-aud-a quartcr-iuoh ring. From the grove the lomons aro taken to the curing-house. It tho grower is a man of means, and grows lomons at all extensively, he may havo his own curing and packing establishment, but gonerally in Southern California a half dozon or so growers build co operative bouses of this kind conveni ent to all ot their properties.
