Cliauire in Southern !Ketlimls.
Tlic enforced economy of tlio Inst.
♦*••> years has caused 11 complete change
in Southern farm methods ami the
credit system in being superseded by
a cash basis. The low price of cotton
for the last few years forced upon
farmers the necessity of raising their
own food stulFs. and added to this was
the decision of bankers and factors to
aidvance much less money on cotton
than formerly. The result has been a
change that for the time being, while
passing from the credit system, with
its liberal buying, to a cash system,
requiring the closest economy, there
has been less trado with farmers, and
hence a decreased volume of general
business in the South.
But this has brought about a more
solid condition of the business in farm
trade throughout the South than we
have had for many years. Merchants
are carrying small stocks and buying
only as needed. Farmers are paying
off their debts to such an extent that,
without exception, letters from bankers
say that the farmers nro less in debt
than for years. The money that,
formerly went North and West for
provisions and grain has been retained
at home, and the full result is that
this section is probably less in debt to
its own banks and less in debt to the
North and West for supplies thau in
any year since the war ended.—New
STork World.
Most Destructive of Weapons,
The reply to this question nat
urally divides itself into weapons
which have been tried in actual war
fare, and those whose powers have
only been tested by experiment. Of
the former the distinction would bo
about equally divided between the
torpedo and the machine-gun. In the
Chilean war the Blanca Encalada,
struck by ouo torpedo, went down in
n few minutes with 400 men on board.
Tin' same war proved that no living
creature can remain in an exposed po
sition within the range of machine
gun lire for more thau a few minutes,
and this conclusion is accepted by all
authorities. In the second category
the palm must bo given to M. Tnrpin's
new "war machine," which is a light
calibre machine-gun, manipulated by
four men and drawn 011 a carriage by
two horses. It will project a hail of
'Jo,OOO missiles every fifteen seconds at
a range of nearly three miles, over a
space measuring 160 yards each way.

A Sate, Sound Trust.
Mot corporations alone make tlio best
trusts, for morally speaking wo place reliance
in things most successful, anil thereby estab
lish 11 most substantial trust, ami this is the
way to do it. "My wife," says -Mr. J. \V.
Ames, Fairmont, Neb., suffered intensely
with sciatica, and was helpless. I tried many
tilings to no purpose. Although the doctors
said 'no' X got a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil and
tried it. It stopped the pain and in a short
time she had no uso for crutches." Now
hero is a trust founded on the surety of cure
from the experience of being cured. Let any
doubting Thomas take the same course aud
make a trust for himself.

BUOAR FOR HORSES.
Most horses arc like children, ex
ceedingly fond of sugar, and indulg
ing them in it will soon familiarize
them with the giver, and the petting
will teach them to obey his will read
ily. The sugar is fattening, and will
give them shining coats, and also free
the stomach from any worms. A few
lumps of sugar from the hands of the
master will thus benefit the animal in
every way. —New York World.
SEPARATOR MILK FOR CHEESE.
in a Western farmers' institute Pro
fessor Babcock expresses himself I
strongly in favor of separator milk as
making a better cheese and one likely
to hold a good flavor longer than did
cheese made from milk not put through
this process. The cream and milk are
run together through a sieve after sep
arating so os to mix it thoroughly,
but there are certain offensive matters ;
that come out of the separating that
can be kept distinct from the cream.
These are trifling in amount, but when
set to work by the rennet their effect
after two or three months is to de
stroy the flavor of the cheese. Up to
that time cheese from whole milk and 1
that which his been put through the
separator cannot, be distinguished.—
Boston Cultivator.
DISEASE OF FOWLS.
liens are subject to several diseases,
but mostly those of the throat and the
intestines. The first class is due to
exposure to cold and damp, or to con
tagion. The latter is the result of bad
feeding and indigestion. The most
prevalent of the first class of diseases
is one known as roup, which is very I
similar to the human diphtheria, and, J
like that, exceedingly contagious. It
appears as a thick adherent mucus or j
cheesy matter in the throat and mouth, !
stopping the breathing and making the I
swallowing difficult. The head swells, |
and of course the birds stop eating, j
The remedy for this disease is to wash
the mouth clean with warm vinegar '
and drop a pinch of powdered chlorate j
of potash in the throat. The food j
should be soft, and a little hyposul- 1
pliate of soda should be dissolved in
the drinking water. Excessive warmth \
is not desirable for fowls in the win
ter, only such as will keep the tem
perature at night of not less than fifty
degrees. Another frequent disease is
that of the liver, by which the nerves '
of the lower limbs are so affected that
the birds cannot walk. This disease |
resembles that of pigs by which the I
hind legs become useless and are |
dragged about as the animal moves.
Overfeeding is the common cause of j
this disorder, and the remedy is to J
stop the cause, giving no food for two i
or three days, but only water, and then '
beginning with siutili feeds, gradually 1
increased.—New York Times.
STRAWRERRV CULTURE.
Professor W. it. Lazenby, before j
the Ohio Horticultural Society, pre- i
sented the following summary of sug- 1
gestions to be kept in mind by straw
berry growers:
The most profitable varieties for the
commercial grower are those not easily i
influenced by differences in soil and
climate. Those which succeed well on
wide areas are usually better than '•
those which have a mere local reputu- ,
tion.
Pistillate varieties, when properly !
fertilized, are more productive than
the sorts with perfect flowers.
The value of a variety for fertilizing
pistillate tluwers does not depend so
much upon the amount as upon the
potency of its pollen.
The flowers of pistillate varieties are
less liable to be injured bv front than
the flowers of perfect varieties.
Varieties that are neither very early
lior very late in point of maturity are
the most productive aud have the long
est fruiting season.
As a rule varieties that have the
most vigorous ami healthy foliage an
the least productive, while those with
a weaker growth of foliage and tt
greater susceptibility to leaf blight art
usually the more prolific.
Winter protection may be dispensed
with upon Hi 11-drained soils, but ap
pear* to l>e a necessity upon heavier
ones.

RAISING HORSES TO SElili.
Generally the farmer cannot afford
to raise geldings and keep them on the
farm for a team. He can mako them
pay very well if he will keep them un
til they are four or live years old, and
then sell, taking care in the meantime
to break them well, so as to get work
enough out of them to pay for their
keep. A horse that has been given
good caro so as to make a steady growth
and development from the time he was
foaled ought to be broken to light
work when past two years old, taking
care that only light work is given him
and not too much of that. Then,
whenever a good fair price can be
realized for thom, unless they nre
needed on the farm, and arc worth
more to you than the price offered, it
will be best to sell.
With good young mares, however,
the case is different. The better tho
youug mares are the stronger the
reason why they should be kept on the
farm for breeding. No farmer can
afford to sell the best of his animals of
any kind, especially those that he can
use to good advantage in improving
his stock. By mating a full blooded
sire to carefully selected mares, good
grade colts may be secured. Then if
in turn the very best of these grade
mare 3 are selected and again mated to
pure-bred stallions a still further im
provement is made.
By keeping the best and breeding in
this way, selling all that are needed on
the farm, a considerable improvement
in quality of the horses can be made.
Keep mares and young, growing horses
to do the necessary work of the farm,
keeping the young horses until they
are reasonably well matured and thus
selling whenever a fair price is offered.
In this way considerable work can be
gotten out of the horses while they
are growing, and by taking caro to
keep them in good condition they can
be marketed at any time.
Hut if the best mares are sold off,
and what cannot be sold are bred un
der present conditions, the colts, even
when reasonably well grown, will be
hard to sell at any price. The cost of
raising the oue is asmucli as the other,
and the difference in value when ready
to market represents to a considerable
extent the difference in tho prolits.—
St. Louis Republic.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIKS.
OET A STOOL.
Women who have much housework
to <lo should provide themselves with
A cheap stool, high enough to allow a
free use of the arms. In this way they
may spare themselves much unneces
sary standing, as ironing, dish-wasli
ing and multitudinous household
duties that are generally gone through
with while upon the feet may be dis
posed of quite as satisfactorily in a
sitting posture. It is a rest, too, from
time to time, to draw the feet up upon
the rounds of the stool, taking all the
weight of the body off the floor.—New
York Journal.
CARE OF FINE NEEDLEWORK.
It is noticeable that in the best nee
dlework the wrong side of the article
looks nearly as smooth and well fin
ished as the right. There are no ends
and knots and no unnecessary stitches
crossing the surfaces where the right
side is plain. Where these faults do
occur they will be sure to show on the
right side after the article has been
laundered. It has been found, too,
that the best imported silks are the
most economical, because they wash
best. Very hot water will make even
these run ; so if your work is mussy
after it is finished, dip it in cold
water, and if soap is necessary use
only the best castile on the wrong
side of the embroidery. Rinse in cold
water and bo sure that the powder
used in stamping is all out. Squeeze
gently when washing, and if soiled use
at first a tepid water. After washing,
lay the embroideries, while still damp,
on a clean, thick flannel, cover with a
clean cloth and press on the wrong
side, ironing from the centre of the
design toward the edges. When the
figure is well pressed out and the linen
dry, go over tho plain part on the right
sido with a small iron. Embroideries
worked in a frame wash better than
those that are not. —New York Post.
now TO WASH TABLE LINEN.
Be sure that your linen goes into no
vessel that is not clean and freshly
rinsed. See that it is put to boil in
side a bag of clean cheese cloth. If
stained, wet the spots with alcohol,
and wash out in clear cold water before
allowing suds to touch it. Stains of
milk or soft eggs must be soaked in
clear cold water for ten minutes when
washed. Use a mild white soap, or
the Brown Windsor that comes in long
bars. Make a strong lather, only let
ting tho soap touch the fabric at some
obstinate grease spot. Tea cloths or
others with delicate colors wash
brighter if a handful of salt is added
to the first suds, which should be bare
ly lukewarm. Tne second may be hot
ter. Wash quickly through both.
Fold smoothly for the wringer, then
pop into your bag and set to boil in
cold water for ten miuutes. Rinse
first in hot, then in lukewarm water.
Have your bluing water cold and free
from specks of color. Dip your linen
in very thin starch containing a sus
picion of bluing, and hang, if possible,
in the sun. See that the line is clean.
Take pains to hang each piece square,
as if (Iried awry it will be very hard to
make it even again.
Let everything dry thoroughly and
do not dampen or fold until a little
before ironing time. After a cloth is
properly wet, pull the diagonal cor
ners as hard as possible and fold with
a length-wise crease through the mid
dle. Roll smooth aud tight anil let it
lio for twenty minutes. For rich da
mask or embroidered cloths put an
extra blanket on the ironing table
under its muslin cover. Lay the em
broidered part smoothly over it, right
side down and press with a heavy iron
just below scorching heat. When al
most dry and very smooth, turn anil
iron on the right side, usiug very
light irons on the embroidery aud
heavier ones on the plain rouud.
Stretch tin- fabric well with the hands
before pressiug embroidery.
When the right side is properly
dune, fold it length wise along the mid
dle, then begin at one end and lay
about six iuches-lightly over ; do not
fold it down but roll until all the
length is coiled, flo over the cloth
twice or thrice with u hot iron, chang
ing irons freeqiieutly. Iron till the
pattern shows plain on a glossy white
surface. If not thoroughly dry when
ironed, hang upon the horse for an
hour or two, then fold or roll to such
compass an required for the closet.—•

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Mastodon liones Found.
Tho people of Frankfort, Marshall
County, Kansas, are greatly excited
over the discovery of a mastodon's
tooth dug up in the streets of that
town. The peculiar thing about it is
that a minister, Rev. S. M. Hopkins,
found it in front of his residence, and
as he is superstitions, the good man
thinks it is a terrible warning, and
has preached about it to his congrega
tion, assuring them that it is the fore
runner of trouble to that people.
When Rev. Mr. Hopkins found this
mammoth tooth he called in the
neighbors and a measurement was
made of it. Tho great tusk measured
fourteen inches in length, six inches
in width and six inches from the
grinding surface to the end of the
remaining portion of the fangs.
The bone portion of the tooth is
petrified, but the enamel is just as
bright and perfect as it ever was. It
is an interesting specimen and people
have traveled many miles to look at
it. Parties have been digging for
other evidences of a former mastodon,
and have been rewarded with rich
finds. They unearthed several monster
bones, showing that a mastodon of
great proportions died their many
years ago. —St. Louis Republic.

In the Early Days
of cod-liver
oil its use *
was limited
to eas i n g
those far
advanced in consumption.
Science soon discovered in
it the prtveHtion and cure of
consumption.
Scott's Emulsion
of cod-liver oil with Hypo
phosphites of lime and soda
has rendered the oil more
effective, easy of digestion
and pleasant to the taste.

A Busy Household.
Busy-handed must have been tho
women-folk of a century and a half
ago. It in recorded that one family in
Newport, P.. 1., made, in the space of
eighteen months, 487 yards of cloth—
carding, spinning, dyeing and weav
ing every inch of material used, and
also accomplished the knitting of
thirty-six pairs of stockings—not the
thin, delicate, and often flimsy ho
siery seen nowadays, but such as
would bear much heavy use, and even
be "handed down to posterity." It is
added that another Newport family
distinguished themselves by making,
in tho space of four years, 980 yards
of woolen cloth, two coverlets, two
bedticks, and all the stockings needed
for the family.—Detroit Free Press.
The way to restore confidence is to
be confident.—Boston Traveler.
