What Has Yonr Codflsli Eaten I
Mc to peoplo know of the virtue of
cod liver oil than know in what that
virtue consists. It is not that there is
any peculiar health-giving qualities
about the vital tissues of the codfish
nny more than in those of any other
fish or of land animals.
The virtue of cod liver oil, it ia de
clared, depends wholly on the food
which the codfish has eaten, and if the
cod has not fod on the right food, his
liver will not yield oil of any more
benefit to the victim of consumption
or anajmia than any other fish oil.
The best cod liver oil is obtained
from cod that have fed on kelp, ft sea
weed that is not found on soft or
muddy bottoms. Jt is a rock weed
and does not grow near the shore on
the American coast. Every one knows
how much better milk is given by
cows that have fed on rich pasturage
than by those whose feed has been
stale hay; and tho cod that has lived
in deep water and feasted on the rich,
juicy and aromatic kelp is altogether a
different nth from the one that has
lived near shore and eaten clams and
mussels, a diet that no self-respecting
fish will touch at all when it can have
anything else.
Thus the oil from cod caught near
tho shoro is practically worthless,
while that mado from deep sea cod is
one of the most nourishing and health
giving of foods. Tho best cod liver
oil oomes from Norway, where all the
cod are rockbottom fish and live ex
clusively on kelp and similar seaweed.

APPLES FOR STOCK.
European authorities consider the
money value of fodder constituents in
ordinary varieties of apples and pears
as somewhat higher than those con
tained in an equal weight of turnips,
and those of the apple pomaoe aj
about one-third higher in feeding
value than the wholo apple.—New
York World.
DEHORNING YOUNG CALVES.
Prevention of horns is preferable to
dehorning. If a stick of caustic potash
is applied to the spots on the skull of
a young ealf where the horns are
about to break through, it will destroy
the horn and cause only a slight sore,
that will give the animal no serious in
convenience. Sometimes, however,
this application docs not reach the
root of tho horn, and a new growth
will spring up. Watch should be kept
for this, and tho caustic or knife be
applied as soon as the growing horn
is seen. —Boston Cultivator.
BEST TEMPERATURE OF WATER FOR STOCK.
There is nothing better for all farm
animals than puro well water. The
temperature of it is the best possible.
Warm water is nauseous to an ani
mal, as to a person; the refreshing
effeot of a cool draught of water we
all know. Just the same we know
how ice-cold water makes tho teeth
ache and tho whole body shiver, as it
takes the heat fi om tho blood to bo
come warm itself. A temperature of
fifty-five to sixty degrees is tho very
best for the animals in tho winter,
and water from any good well will be
somewhere near enough to this. The
water should be pumped into the
troughs for use, and the troughs
drained and immediately covered as
soon as the stock have drunk, so that
snow or ice will not gather in them,
American Agriculturist.
BLIND STAGGERS.
Tho hog whon plethoric and well
fed is liable to congestion of the brain,
which may pass into actual effusion or
apoplexy. In congestion only, which
is properly termed "staggers," the
nnimal is dull and stupid, the eyes are
red, the bowels aro constipated, and
the pulse hard and quick. These
symptoms may passoff or may increase,
leading to a period of excitement from
increased pressure on the brain. The
animal runs to and fro, often in a cir
cle, hitting against objects as if blind ;
tho breathing is laborious, and he may
fall down in an unconscious condition.
In other cases the effusion on the brain
or tho apopletic stroke takes place
with these premonitory symptoms:
The hog suddenly drops as if struck
011 the head with a hammer, the limbs
stiffen, the breathing is hard and snor
ing, and a froth exudes from the
mouth.
In either caeo the treatment is by
promptly dashing cold water over the
animal and especially pouring it from
a liight of eight or ten feet on the head.
The bowels should bo stimulated by an
active purgativo injection as follows:
Sulphate of magnesia, four ounces;
oil of turpentine, two drams; soap
suds, one-half pint; mix for an injec
tion.—American Farmer.
CULTIVATION OF ORCHARDS.
Cn no other part of the farm is so
little attention bestowed as on the or
chard. This is the more singular as
BO much is required of it. The far
mer knows he must fertilize and cul
tivate his lields if ho wants a crop to
harvest, but with the orohard he ex
pects to gather where he has not fed
or tilled. If he would only stop to
consider he would realize that trees,
like men, can die of starvation, and if
only imperfectly nourished only in
ferior fruit can bo produced.
To be profitable orchards must re
ceive as good care as other crops. To
call attention to their requirements
the Cornell Station, Ithaca, N. Y., has
issued a bulletin on the cultivation of
orchards. Some of the points insisted
on are tho necessity for good drainage,
natural or artificial, the value of good
tillage in increasing tho available food
supply and conserving moisture and
tho general superiority of level cul
ture.
Sod is sometimes allowable in apple
and standard pear orchards, but never
in other fruit plantations, says the
bulletin. Even then it should be
pastured closely with sheop or hogs.
If the stock is fod at the same time the
land will faro better. Watch a sod or
chard. It will begin to fail before
J'ou know it. The remedy for these
apple failures is to cut down many of
the orchards. For tho remainder, the
treatment is cultivation, fertilizing,
spraying—tho trinity ol orthodox ap
ple growing.
.'Potash is tho chief fertilizer to bo
applied to fruit trees, particularly af
ter they como into bearing. An an
nual application of from 509 to 700
pouuds of muriate of potash may be
used to tho aero in mature orchards.
Cultivation should begin early and be
continued often. It maybe stopped
late in the season and a crop oan then
be sown upon the land to serve both
as protection to the soil and as a green
manure. Crimson clover would seem
to bo tho best for this purpose.
CARE OF BEES.
In order to have any reasonable
prospect of a good honey season, bees
must be carefully attended to during
the winter and so secured that they
will not only have plenty of warmth
but an abundance of food to carry
them through in good condition.
Thero are many theories on tho win
tering of bees, each bee-koeper prob
ably fancying his own bettor than any
other; but thero are certain general
rules that must be obeyed if one ex
pects the best results. An expert bee
keeper, before preparing the hivos for
winter, cuts a hole through each frame
to bo left in the hivo. Tho discoverer
of this idea was a woman, and to it
she claims to owe the fact that sho has
never yet lost a colouy through ex
cessive cold. Ordinarily tho bees have
to pasa around the outside of the
frames to get to the outlying honey
supply. Sometimes they eat holes
through the combs, and this led to the
practiee of making free passageway
entirely through the middle frames
and a small aperture through whioh
ono bee at a time could get to the
outer ones.
Besides leaving la all of the honey
frames, there should be outside cush
ions or board walls for warmth. It is
a remarkable fact that bees keep th9ir
hives as warm as the temperature of
a living apartment. If any one ohooses
to ascertain this fact, let him plaoe
the hand over the chalf cushion or
board that is usually laid over the
frames.
One of the most important items in
preparing bees for winter is that they
have a large surplus of honey and that
it is disturbed as little as possible.
Bee-keepers are fond of putting their
colonies on short commons and feed
ing in the spring. Sometimes this
may work well, but as a rtilo the bees
know quite as well what they want as
the bee-keeper possibly oan. It is by
some thought wise to disturb tho
colonies very little after they have
finished tho gathering of the honey in
the autumn. It the hive is large, two
frames may be taken out, one on each
side, and the cushions be put in. If
the hivo is small it is much bettor to
have an outsido box with a padding of
chaff and cover the hivo entirely with
this, except the space for the door
way..
There aro double hivos and patent
hives of various sorts, but if an abun
dance of honoy is left and a little pro
tection is afforded, the colony is quito
likely to come out in very good shape
in spring, whatever tho stylo of the
hivo may be.
It is often asked whetlior bee-kcop
ing in this climate is profitable. In
answer to this it may bo said that
there are too many uncertainties abont
the weather to make it at all worth
while togo into honey-making as a
business. As a supplemental occupa
tion it is a very good thing, but it is
scarcely wise to invest money in it to
the neglect of other things. As one
among many, it is quite remunerative
and a very pleasing and interesting
pursuit in addition.—New York Led
ger.
FAHM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Be sure your hens havo a tight roof
over them.
Injudicious feeding is the ruin oi
many horses.
Thero is a saving of ten per cent, in
favor of cut rations.
Blankets are as necessary for the
horses as overcoats for tho men.
It is neither economical nor neces
sary to feed tho horse all tho hay he
eon get.
As a general rule it is the most prof
itable to nso mature sires and dam*
in breeding.
Tests mado at the Michigan Experi
mental Station were against flat-bot
tom foundation.
If from any causo surplus honey be
comes unfit for table use it should be
fed back to the bees.
Bees should bo prepared for winter
as soon as the honey flow ceases,
whether late or early.
The future value and usefulness of
the horso depends largely upon the
first winter of the colt.
A bee-keeper, of Coloiado Springs,
thinks alfalfa leaves are a better pack
ing for winter than either chaff or
other leaves.
Horses that aro used for driving on
the road do best when fed chiefly on
oats, with sufficient hay to mako a
proper ration.
Help the poor ragged hens to get
on their winter suits by the addition
of a little oil meal or fresh meat to
their daily ration.
Keep the f.heep out of tho rain. A
cool dry place is not objectionable,
but a wet fleece is a brooder of dis
comfort and disease.
A V'ienneso npicnlturist has dicov
ered a hive in whioh thero aro two
queen boes, who live most affection
ately together and rule their subjects
jointly.
If covers, frames, eto., are moved
after it is too late for tho bees to ob
tain propolis outside or to work it in
side, many crevices will be left open,
through which cold and win I will ou
ter.
A chaff quilt, or cushion, from three
to four inches thick if the upper story,
half-story, or super is left on, anil
thinner if the cover only is used,
should be placed over the frames to
absJlb the moisture from the cluster.
If nbont to start in the poultry bus
iness there are so many breeds to
choose from, you better, if you have
no choioe in the matter, get a breed
suitable to your place, surroundings
and facilities for keeping and selling.
In planting trees, whether it be
spring or fall, mulch them. In winter
it keeps frost out of the ground, and
in summer the roots are eool and
moist underneath it, and both of these
things are great aids to the trees in re
covering from a transplanting.
Top-dressing pays the best on land
well set with healthy, desirable grass
plants. An old, wornout mowing, in
which wild or inferior grasses pre
dominate, offers little inducement to
the top-dressing method of enriching
tho soil; such land should be plowed.
The closest study and the most
careful thought cannot always insure
succoss. But they will bring the far
mer a great deal nearer to this result
than any method, or want of method,
whioh negleots to make careful and
timely plans for the work that is to bo
done.
Where from any cause it is not prac
ticable to use wire netting as a pro
tection against the ravages of mioe
the trees may be saved by raising a
small mound of earth around each
tree. Mioe usually work closo to the
ground, so that a small mound pro
tect* from them.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS*.
WATERPROOF CELLAR*.
A cellar can be so constructed as to
be waterproof, if the bottom of the
floor is first covered with cement, tha
walls bnilt thereon laid in cement and
tho exterior of the walls covered with
cement.
This makes practically a water-tight
basin. The cement used must be the
best Portland oement, one part; clean
sharp sand, one part. After a cellar
is built it is not so easy to make it
waterproof. Still it can be done.
Cover the exterior of the wall with the
above cement, ditto the bottom, aud
work the cement in nnfler the bottom
of the wall, says the National Builder.
If these directions are followed yo'u
will sucoeed. But if cheap materials
are used and the work bndly iloue you
will be sure to fail. A drain put
around tha outside of the wull, or
even inside, below the cellar floor,
may be efficient in carrying off tho
water if you can give it a good deliv
ery.
THE OVE*.
For sponge cake and ponnd cako
have heat that will in five minutes
turn a piece of white paper yellow.
For all other kinds of cut cake use
i»n oven that will in five mluutos
tnrn a piece of white paper dark yel
low.
For bread and pastry have an oven
that will in five minutes turn a pieco
of white paper dark brown.
When the oven is too hot at first a
crust forms on the bread or cake,
which prevents it rising. It is better
when baking bread and cako to havo
tho oven a little slow at first and in
crease the heat gradually.
When baking puff paste tho licat
should be greatest first and decreaso
later. This is to keep the pasto in
shape.
\Vhon the oven is too hot tho tem
perature may be reduced by putting
in it a pan of cold water.
When baking in an oven that is too
hot at the top, fill with cold water a
dripping pan which is about an inch
deep and place it on the top grate of
the oven. Should the oven be too hot
on the bottom, put a grato on the bot
tom, put a grate under the articlo
that is to be baked.
IIOME OCT OF A HOt)3EHOI<D.
Tho living room is the one room in
tho house which, above all others,
should bo bright and cheerful. If any
room mnst Bo neglected let it not be
tho living room. Have here refined
pictures, plenty of books and current
literature. This is the place for the
piano, the most comfortable chairs
and cosey corners. Within the pre
cincts of such a room one may shut
out the world and forget that there
are any troubles to bear.
Tho character of a room depends
upon its wall decorations, its carpets,
its pictures and its curtains. Wc
should be careful to have these of tho
right kind, for all others are mere ac
cessories. "We could not afford ex
pensive things," said a newly married
couple, "so we chose the comfortable
ones;" and this idea, "comfort," ie
the secret of all room furnishing.
It is not elegant surroundings that
make people happy and contented.
"What can a queen have more than
we?" asks an exchange. "If she is
cold she can absorb no more heat
than wo. If she has millions to satisfy
her appetite she can eat no more than
we. If she hus millions of beautiful
dresses she can wear but one at a time,
the same as ourselves. Her jewels are
so costly that they are locked up in a
vault for 6afe keeping; when she
wears them upon State occasions she
is constantly shadowed by a guard.
We admire ours through the window
of the silver smith's and aro not bur
dened with the responsibility of their
being stolen, nor annoyed by a detec
tive. Air, water, and sunlight, the
essentials of life, are as free tons as
to the queen; and even her throne is
not so comfortable as the old rocker
in your Bitting room. We should,
therefore, not despair if wo cannot
afford costly things in our homes. We
can mako our living rooms bright and
comfortable, and that goes a long way
toward happiness.—Boston Budget.

shapo of a tent; the load of a camel;
the track of a man; a bunch of grass;
a sign of water—whatever arrests hiß
eye on a day's march speaks to him of
nature ministering to a variety of his
needs. He mast have water and
grass; he must have shelter from
storms | he mnst avoid dangerous
gullies; must watch for signs of wild
beasts; must anticipate tife ambush
of an enemy—and with it all use
heaven as his guide, with its son by
day and stars by night. The traveler
of the desert plains is never without
occupation; his eyes are sweeping the
horizon without interruption, and he
pioks his way by the help of a judg
ment constantly exercised—for the
Arab knows no roads which are not
unmade by one puff of sand.
It was little that we saw in the
shape of humanity—a camel train now
and then bearing dates and wool from
the interior, the camels swinging
along with irritating regularity, feed
ing as they moved, and treading
gently, as though on rotten ground.
The drivers eyed us malevolently, and
I telt comfort in reflecting that France
supported 50,000 soldiers in Algeria
for the express purpose of making
our journey safo. The caravans were
escorted by Arab horsemen in white
burnooses, perched high upon tough
and springy mustangs. Each horse
man had his gun balancing across his
saddle-bow, and looked at us as though
repeating imprecations from the
Koran.—Harper's Magazino.
When Clydesdales are used a depth
is reached in plowing that is not pos
sible to lighter stock; and no doubt
much of the great excellence of Scotch
and English plowing is due to the
strength and steadiness as well as in
telligence of the horses.
Brings comfort and improvement and
lends to personal enjoyment when
rightly usea. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world's best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to nealth of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas*
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
ana permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it nets on the Kid«
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak*
emng them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug«
gists in 60c and $1 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

"A Second Niagara."
Frank E. Snyder calls tho great
dam over the Colorodo River at Aus
tin, Texas, "a second Niagara." It is
1360 feet long and sixty-eight foet
high, raising tho stream sixty feet
above low-water mark. Not only will
it furnish the city with electric light
and power for the pumps of the water
works, but there will be a large sur
plus of power, for mills and factories.
The lake formed by the clam is twenty
five miles long and covers an area of
2000 aores.—New York World.

\ ivil l // the most refined ana
V .perfect laxative to reg
'ulate and tone up the
■ liver, and
bowels, when in need
orsucli an agent—licnce the great popularity
of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
made froiu the purest, most refined and
concentrated vegetable extracts, and from
forty -two to forty - four are contained in
each vial, which is sold at the same price
as the cheaper made and more ordinary
pills found in the market. In curative vir
tues, there is no comparison to be made be
tween them and the ordinary pills, as any
one may easily learn by sending for a free
sample, (four to seven doses) of the Pel
lets, which will be sent on receipt of name
and address on a postal card.
QNCB USEDTHEV ARE ALWAYS IN FAVOR.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belcliings, "heart-burn," pain and
distress after eating, and kindred derange
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
Put up in glass vials, therefore always
fresh and reliable. One little "Pellet"
is a laxative, two are mildly cathartic.
As a "dinner pill," to promote digestion,
take one each day after dinner. To relieve
distress from over-eating, they are un
equaled. They are tiny, sugar-coated
granules; any child will readily take them.
Accept no substitute that may be recom
mended to be "just as good." It may be
better for the dealer, because of paying him
a better profit, but he is not the one who
needs help. Address for free sample,
