It is true that all unprofitable an"l

them just as they are. No matter how
poor the cattle may be, they will im
prove with feeding. The flocks should
be weeded oat, and those intended for
the butch jr should be fed fattening
rations for a few weeks. A little forc

It takes bat a little while longer to
ran the seed grain through the fan-ning-mill
a second timo, and those
who have not tried it will be surprised
at the amount of foul staff and light
Train that will be cleaned ont. The
light grain and small kernels are fur
better for feeding purposes than for
sowing with the expectation that they
will give as great an increase as the
kernel that is plump and well matured.'
A safe rule to go by in cleaning seed
grain is to use a littlo coarser screen,'
that all the small kernels may be taken
out, and run the mill at a little higher
speed than usual that all light and
falso kernels may bo blown oat, Ol
course none of this refuse grain is lost,
but may be used for feeding chickens
or other animals. Guard particularly

EGOS FOB MARKET.
It is universally conceded that it
pays to sort and pack carefully all fruit
intended for market, but many per
sons are under tho impression that
when it comes to eggs this care is un
necessary. As long as tho eggs are not
broken they imagine nothing else mat
ers. They never niaJo a bigger mistake.
To sell well all kinds of tood must bo
tempting to the eye. Cleanliness is
Ihe first thing to be considered, and
for this reason many of the eggs must
be washed. The next point is the uni
formity of color, which is attained by
keeping certain breeds that lay eggs
of the same color. In this connection
it is well to find out tho color in
demand, as some markets require
brown eggp, while in others the whit
we preferred.
Finally, the eggs should be sorted
ecording to size. All housekeepers
.'eel themselves cheated if they find one
or more small eggs among their pur
rhases. For this reason small eggs
should not be mixed with those of the
usual sizo. On the other hand, un
commonly lnr&;e ones should nlso be
laid aside. They aro equally objec
tionable, as they tend to make the oth
ers appear small by comparison. At
tention to all these points pays in th

VISTEIt STOr.AOE OF FARM rMTXjrESTS.
Upon 'storing fp.rm implements in
proper condition depends, in no small
degree, the suwess of farming, writes
J. M. Stnhl, of Illinois. Tho man who
provides a dry, airy shelter for farm
tools and machines, and puts them in
it when they are not in use, has done
a wis- and profitable thing; but ha
may have done only half of what ho
might and should do for the preserva
tion and good work of his tools and
machines. ITe choald also put the
tools and machines awny in good con
dition. This includes freedom from
dirt. Tho plow, for examxde, put
iway coated with mud will rust and
rot, though in good shelter ; and such
a coating is yei moro harmful to the
delicate X'srts of machines. Though
bright and st?el surfaces are clean
they will probably rust unless coated
with oil in some form ; and to be sura
that even clean wood does not rot one
must coat it with paint or oil. For
coating metal surfaces coal oil or beef
tallow is good. Of course the tallow
should bo applied in n liquid condition.
It will pay to cout rough but unpninted
metal surfaces as well as polished ones.
For farm tools and machines mineral
paint is better than artificial pigments,
and brown mineral paint is very cheap
indeed. Anyone ought to bo able to
mix it we only boiled linseed oil,
and the best is certainly tho cheapest ;
or one can buy ready-mixed paints ol
good quality at reasonable prices.
One should have two brushes a largo
one for ordinary surfaces and a small
one for narrow surfaces or small
corners. It is advisable to put away
all tools and machines in condition for
wi rk plows, hoes, harrows or sickles,
sharp and with all breaks repaired and
weak parts strengthened. There will
be more time for this at tho close than
at tho beginning of the season's work ;
nnd then one has the comforting as
surance that as soon as the season per
mits he may begin work. When one
pats away the implements just as tbey
Ifave the field, it is often found that it
lias been forgotton that somo must be
mended nnd others sharpened, and
lliis is not recollected until they are
urought out for work; then valu
able time must be lost in going to the
blacksmith.

An onicial notice has been issued ii
Eussia that "physicians shall have th
right to make use of hypnotism in the
treatment of their patients. In every
case of the application they must in

Electrical progress has been very
:apid in Switzerland on account of th
abundance of cheap power from water
falls. Professor Dezler, of the Znrict
Polytechnic School, states that at thi
close of 1892 there were in operatior
552 electric light installations, fifty
two plants for the electrical transmis
sion of power, 121 batteries of accnin
nlators and 1056 dynamos and electro
motors. The number of incandescent
lamps was 115,926 nnd of lamps 9746.
There are several simple methods of
listinguishing between mushrooms
and toadstools, and any person who
has seen tho two together would not
be likely to mistake one for the other.
Tho mushroom has tho neck solid,
with a color or frill midway between
the earth and the head, whereas tht
stem of tho toadstool is hollow ; tha
mushroom has a thick kid-like cover
ing, which the toadstool lacks, and
s lit h is no elToct on the mushroom,
whero it turua the toadstool black.
Imitative Forms in Flowers.
Thoso who have given any particular
Attention to the study of botanical
oddities know that the Brazilian
(lower known as tho "running ante
lope," is so called because its whita
petals have a series of well-defined,
dark-colored lines anil dots in which
the imagination can readily trace tin
form of an antelope with its limbs out
stretched aud head thrown ba"k,
peemingly fleeing for its lifo. In tin
"caricature plant" one species has tha
imitative form on the petaln and an
other has it outlined in tho ribs and
Rliiidiug of tho leaves. This last
mentioned curiosity bears a remarkably
well-execute I likeness of the Duke ol
Wellington, and has, on that account,
been named "Arthur and his Nose."
Among tho orchids tho imitative form
is entirely different in character, bein
exhibited in tho shajie of tho flowei
itself. Some are exact counterfeits ol
bees, butterflies, moths, etc., while
others take upon themselves tho form
f worms and beetles. Naturalists be
lieve that in tho first instance it is
nature's trap to lure other bees, moths
an l butterflies, but tho case of the
worm and beetle orchids, or those
that are exact counterparts of toads,
lizards anil huge spiders, they do not
attempt to explain. St. Louis lto

Bacteria and Colds.
According to the Berlin correspond
mt of tho Lancet, Professor Schenk
has fonnd that the micro-organismj
move toward warm points. This move
ment he terms therxotaxis, and he
includes as the result of experiments
with a specially constructed apparatus
that warmth aots as a stimulant on
micro-organisms, which move toward a
warm body in their neighborhood, and
that this thermottixis is a vital prop
erty of bacteria. Tho professor fur
ther considers that in certain cases ol
"catching cold" an infection is con
veyed by bacteria. Thus a person en
tering a cold room would attract th
bacteria present by his warm bodv.
and these, finding admission through !
the skin or otherwise, produce, after a
certain time of incubation, the resulti
ordinarily attributed to "catching
cold. " The hair bulb sheaths, sweat
glands, and mucous membranes are all
said to offer possible points of entry to
vcteria. Scientific American.
A Substitute lor Tan Bark.
Growing wild in trreat abundance in
.sew Mexico and Arizona is a plant
. j y . Bw 1.v..,ti.ebo v. -
lie acid. It is known as canaigre.
Experiments were made with this
plant, and when it became certain that '
;he product of its root was in every !
xay suited to tanning, a large quan
tity of the tubers were shipped to
rarious tanneries, both in the United
States and Europe 'Shis was in 1869.
The results obtained were at once
gratifying and encouraging to all con
cerned. A number of European tanner.
erected plants for extracting the acid I
from tho canaigre root and adapted ,
their tanneries to the use of the prod
uct. It will surprise most readers to
learn that since that time they hava
had largo forces of men employed in
Sew Mexico and Arizona digging and
hipping tho root.
American tanners have been slow i.
taking np the canaigre root, fearing
the supply could not be made to anf '
swer the demand. They have lon
been convinced, however, that it fur
nkhe3 equally as good a tanning agenj
f.s the oak or hemlock bark, and nj '
last steps are being taken to begin thj '
cultivation of the plant on a largi
scale. Many farmers in New Moxicj

They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and if the blood is thin, impure
or insufficient, they are in a state of re

brain, the king of the body, through
the nervous system, and the result of
the general dissatisfaction is what we
call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and the

"When yon talk about strong men
I can tell you a story," said a local
trackman to-day. "It was before I
was in tho jobbing business that thera
lived in Lewiston a woman who could
beat all the strong men from Sampson
VCyr.
She was in the old grocery store on
the corner one day when the proprietor
pointed to a couple of flour barrels,
saying, 'Mary, if you'll carry them
home I'll give them to you." Sanborn,
who was a trackman thirty years and
who told out to James Cole, was there
and offered to bet that she couldn't
carry one.
" 'Put them up on the counter,"
she said, 'and I'll take them both.
"Four men lifted the barrels up and
he went np to them full of confidence,
and resting the bottom of one on her
right hip, circled the barrel with one
of her long arms and then swung
around so as to grasp the other in tho
same way, and, ts I live, he curYisd1
them out and along the street to a
place 300 yards down the road where
one of them fell and upset her balance.
You see she rested them on he hips
and didn't try to lift them by her
back. The grocer gave her the flour.'

"Man in No. 63 wants some parlot

"Tell him ho'll have to get along

In answer to a surprised questioner.
"Insurance policies of neerly all com
panies prohibit tho keeping and use
uf parlor matches in any part of a

chance for an accidental ignition of a
Carlor match to do much harm in a

things in rooms, where carpets or cur
tains or stray paper are liable to catch
fire from them. They are not only
more easily lighted by accident, such
as stepping upon them, but, as is not

in flame from spontaneous combustion.
You may judge how easily this is liablo

Stanley came down from the eity

teemed with sweet memories of moon

quiet hours on a rnstio bench on the

little skiff; of long talks, only bright
and friendly at first, then something

She had written to her mother and
she had told her Aunt Jnlia ; and she
wondered if she ought not to tell
Eleanor Well. Why hadn't she?
Eleanor and she were chums, and
Eleanor was an old friend of Stanley's
family in the city, and was the one
girl beside herself to whom Stanley paid
any attention. Was she, perhaps, just j
the least mite jealousof that old friend- j

She would go and find Eleanor thii

Not a leaf sways on the trocs.

Not tho whispar oT a breeze,

Sighing thro' the cedars tall,

Oa tho mold'ring wine-clad wall,
Sinks the sun In amber glory,
