CORN FOR GROWING ANIMALS. 1
Corn is not n wholesome food for F

colts. It should not be fed exclusive ®
to calves or pigs at the time when thoy J
are making bone or muscle, or to work *
horses.—New York World. a
v
BUCKWHEAT TO CLEAN LAND. j
There are several reasons why the B
buckwheat crop is a good one to de
stroy weeds. It requires plowing nnd
fitting the land at midsummer, when
weeds are most easily killed by plow
ing. It grows so rapidly that it very
quickly covers the surface soil, shad- *
ing it so that few weeds can start un> |
der its broad leaves. It is equally
good to rid land of insect enemies.
Wire and cut worms find its roots dis- 112
tasteful to them, and for land that is
filled with tho wire worm two crops *
of buokwheat will rid it of most of
them. Yet for all this buckwheat is
not a popular crop with neat farmers.
Its habit of seeding the ground with
buckwheat, which will appear in the t
next grain crop, makes it a trouble- t
some weed, though as it is only an an- 112
nunl one year suffices to get rid of it. t

CAUSE AND CUBE OF BLOODY MILK. I
This disease is due either to de- j
rangement of the action of the liver, {
or in some cows is the result of ab- 1
normal action of the milk glands. c
Some cows suffer from it in conse- £
quence of overfeeding, by which an *
inflammatory condition of the udder 1
is produced, thus exciting the action ?
of tho milk glands, which, on account j
of the udder being overcharged with '
blood, secrete some of this blood, which c
mixes with tho milk. This blood would c
otherwise be milk, for milk is a direct J
product of the blood, and if the udder '
were in a normal condition the blood ®
would bo changed into milk by tho '
healthful action of the glacds. Some- *
times the liver is so disordered by *
overfeeding of rich food that the 1
blood is not sufficiently purified and (
in this case tho impurity of the blood c
escapes through the milk, instead of, 1
as at other times, through the kid- 1
neys, when the disease would appear J
as red water. At times this fault in !
the secretorv function is constitution- !
al, and a heifer may always give j
bloody milk, and may continue to do J
eo, thus being useless in the dairy. J
That this kind of milk is wholly ab- (
normal is shown by the fact that (
calves will not drink it. The treat- 1
ment should be by laxative and cool- •
ing medicine, such as epsom salts, giv- k
en in half-pound doses daily for a few '
days, after which the system will prob- '
ably bo relieved of the undue strain
on the secretory organs, and the milk '
be all right.—New York Times. j
THE FABMIIOUSE AS A BOARDING HOUSE. I
I was reading an article not long j
since, 6aid Mrs. H. A. Whitman before j
the Androscoggia (Me.) Pomona •
Grange, upon "Farmers should pro- j
vide separate cottages for their hired j
men," which, I think, deserves more
than a passing thought. Tho writer .
said: "Do merchants generally board ,
their clerks? Do manufacturers usu- j
ally impose upon their wiveß and .
daughters tho necessity of furnishing j
meals and bed 3 for their begrimed and .
sweaty laborers from forge and loom, '
of serving them at tablo with their 1
food and sharing their company at the
fireside! Why should tho wives and
daughters of farmers be expected to do 1
this? And so long as such a burden ,
is laid upon them, is it strange that
farmers' sons rebel against their lot
and seek the city, and farmers' daugh
ters set their caps for clerks, mechan
ics, tailors, speculators—anybody but
their schoolmates?
"Tho introduction of hired men
into the household destroys tho family
relation. The farmhouse becomes a
boarding house, in which the husband
is steward, tho wife cook and tho
workmen boarders. Tho employed be
comes the served, and the employers
servants. No well-bred woman can
tolerate such a condition of things un
less her ambition is crushed."
There is many a woman in the land
who has cooked tonß of food for"the
hired men," who, while her husband
has grown well-to-do and been elected
Justice of tho Peace and gone to the
Legislature, has become thin and fur
rowed with drudgery, bent to a furi
ous nnd never-ending rotation of
scrubbing, baking, stowing for the
hired men.
This wretched community system
has prevailed long enough in America,
to tho amazement of foreigners nnd
the disgust of our own people. It is
high time that every farmer with a
particle of personal sensibility or in
dependence, or with any respect for
the rights of his companion, should
adopt a better way.
THE VALUE OF STRAW.
The abundance and cheapness of
straw do not justify its waste, for
some good, profitable uso may be
found for all of it, writes J. M. Stahl.
If fed in connection with cottonseed
or linseed mc-al, malt sprouts, bran,
etc., which nre rich in the elements in
which it is deficient, it has a fair feed
ing value. Tho potential feeding
velue of oat straw equals that of sixty
fivo per cent, and wheat straw fifty
fivo per cent, of its -weight of average
meadow hay. But to make the poten
tial feeding value of 6traw near actual
it must bo cut, moistened and mixed
with such feed?, rich in protein, as are
enumerated above. Cattle fed on
straw alone, oi nearly so, cannot pay
anything for the straw, fpr it is so de
ficient in tho muscle formers that an
animal cannot digest enough straw
alone to grow any, or even to hold its
own. However, if fed as just stated
witli such feeds as will make a well
balanced ration, straw has an actual
feeding value for too great to justify
the waste of any of it.
If it is not possible to feed all the
straw to good advantage.it has a volne
for bedding and for shelters that
makes it unjustifiable to waste it. As
utraw is a very poor conductor of
heat, it is well adapted for these pur
poses. As litter it has the additional
good quality of being an excellent ab
sorbent. By using straw liberally for
bedding ono may reduce the discom
fort of animals in poor shelters and
avoid the waste of liquid excrement,
while giving the animals a comfortable
bed upon which to rest. Warm, com
fortable sholters can be made out of
straw ; and, whilo they are not so dur
able and handsome tis those made of
wood, they are within the financial
reach of many that cannot well build
expensive shelters. Likely tho most
profitable use to which straw can be
put is to form a comfortable shelter
for farm animals that otherwise would
bo exposed to the severities of the
winter. Finally, rotted straw has a
fertilizer value that makes it highly
profitable to save it carefully.—Ameri
can Agriculturist.
SCIENCE IN- FARMING.
Frank W. Hawlev, one of tho gen
tlemen interested in tho Niagara Elec
tric Power Company, and a scientific
farmer, has a model place near Roches
ter, N. Y. Writiug on the subject ol
the farmer of tho future, he says:
The new era for the farmer has just
begun. In no domain of human ac
tivity lies greater scope for genius
than in agriculture. No other calling
is so conducive to health, longevity,
and happiness. Scienco lays discov
eries at tho farmer's feet and implores
their use. For him the chemist toils
in his laboratory. For him the bot
anist'gleans the fields. For him the
inventor has simplified labor and en
lightened toil. For him scholars and
experts employed by tho Government
are ever at work at Stato and National
experiment stations to solve the prob
lems of tho soil. The broad-minded
agriculturist who avails himself of
these researches and discoveries is a
man to be envied. Wo may yet attain
the art of making malleable glass, and
under 6uch protection acres may bo
devoted to tho growth of vegetables
and semi-tropical fruits for our local
markets. Rapid transit and improved
refrigerator enrs will enlargo the ter
ritory to bo supplied. The broad
belts of tho temperate zones extend
ing round the world will bo explored
in search of new varieties of grain,
trees, flowers, and shrubs for our use.
Tho laws of animal breoding and her
edity will bo better understood and
our domestic stock bo greatly im
proved. America will possess the
finest cattle in tho world, and the
States fitted for cattle raising and
dairying will vio with one another for
tho leadership.
Tho electric age will materially im-
Drove the condition of the agricul'
turist. I look for the day when each
farmer will own an electric equipment
to furnish powor for his creamery, for
grinding food, for pumping water, for
lighting his house, and for heating
his greenhouse and other buildings.
Electric roads will pass his door, af
fording quick transit for himself and
his produce to the nearest market
town. His horses will labor on the
farm while he journeys on the high
way in a wagon propelled by a storage
battery. The subtle energy can be
made to serve him in a thousand ways
and perform innumerable tasks. By
its kindly aid the hitherto overworked
farmer may become largely a gentle
man of leisure. Then we shall expect
much of him. Then jwill ho have lib
erty to assume that political import
ance to which ho is justly entitled.
Tho successful farmer should bo tho
coming man, and future legislation
must look closely to his interests. It
is a Dotable fact that many of our best
and ablest men have exhibited a strong
predilection for rural life. Webster
delighted to rotiro to Marshfleld ; tho
tho name of Jefferson recalls Monti
cello ; Jackson reminds us of Hermit
age ; Clay is associated with his be
loved Ashland; Mount Vernon has
been rendered classic ground as the
abode of tho Father of his Country.
With tho advance of this new era,
from our rural homes, beautified by
nature and adorned by art, saving in
fluences will come in the future to
guide and guard the future of the Re
public.
FARII AND GARDEN NOTES.
Boiled turnips aro excellent for the
hens.
To keep moths ont of the
make the entrance as small as possible.
The averago farm hor3e suffers more
from poor care than he does from hard
work.
Cut out and burn the dead canes
from among the raspberries and black
berries.
Save the ears from the largest anil
earliest maturing corn plants for next
year's seed.
The farmers who have held on tc
their breeding cattle are about toroap
their rewarJ.
A good crop of strawberries nexl
year depends largely on stirring the
soil now and keeping the weeds down.
The balky horse can often be oured
of this trick by any siinplo device
which may distract his attention foi
the moment, thereby causing him to
forget his whim.
No large trees should ho near the
apiary. Have some small, smooth trees
near-by for the bees to oluster on, but
they Bhould not be allowed to got over
twelve feet high.
Onco in the morning is often enough
to water houso plant?, and let the
water be about the temperature of the
room. Setting pots in dishes of water
is not a good plan, as the roots be
come saturated and have a tendency to
rot. All water should be applied at
the surface.
Buckwheat can come after another
crop very well without extra fertiliz
ing. It is an excellent crop to sow on
land where oats, barley or corn have
been destroyed by bad weather. Such
land seeded to buokwhoat right away
will help the owner out of hie diffi
culty and save him from the entire
loss of his crop.
HOUSEHOLD .AFFAIRS*
TO CLEAN DKCANTEIIS.
Mix a teaspoonful of fine ooal dust
with half a teaoupiul of vinegar; put
this in the article to be washed ; shake
vigorously, rinse with clean water un
til it appears perfectly clear, and set
it upside down in a jug or basin to
dry. Small bird shot and vinegar is
equally efficacious.
SIMPLE BUT POPULAR DISH.
Bake cottage pudding in gem or
pop-oren pans, thus giving to each
person an individual pudding. This
way not only adds to the attractive
ness of this simple but popular dish,
but conserves its lightness, if, as often
happens, a carefnl hostess attempts to
cut the pudding with a steel knifo
when hot from the oven. The usual
sauco accompanies the individual
serving,—New York World.
HEMMING TABLE LINEN.
A dainty woman will never hom
her table linen by machine, but she
will hem it by hand with the neatest
possible stitches. Napkins and table
cloths now have half-inch hems. The
very narrow hems evoa for napkins
aro a thing of the past. Crests and
initials consequently have to be
placed higher on the napkin?, and the
napkin when laundered is folded larg
er. Tablecloths should bo marked at
each end two feet from the edge of the
table, which will bring the design a
few inches from the centerpiece. Tho
newest linen ha 3 a plaid center, with
either a simple flower border or a
plain band. Elaborate centerpieces
never look so well as when placed on
a plain surface. Bound centerpieces
continue to be used with tho round
dolies for luncheons. They are more
beautiful than ever, and many are
made of real lace, with only the
centers of linen, which are embroid
ered with the crost or initials. Pure
white centerpieces are the most popu
lar.—Chicago Times-Herald.
FLANNEL PETTICOATS.
Some busy-fiugered women who are
fond of the crochet needle make a
practico of knitting flanuel petticoats
of soft woolen yarn. Those aro very
warm, and are prettily made of a pale
color. A scallop finishes tho lower
edge, and tho drawing string of rib
bon can be drawn through eyelet holes
at the top formed in tho crocheting.
Tho wash ribbons that ono finds now
in tho shops are very pretty, and aro
very convenient for trimming under
wear. Light-weight flannel skirts aro
suitable finished with a knitted laco
made of Saxony yarn iu white, or any
shade that matches the flannel. This
laco can also bo knit of silk. The
fancy for tatting is again revived,
which recalls to mind a lovely silk
tatting edging about an inch and a
half wide, which I saw some years ago
on a silk and wool flannel petticoat.
The hem and nil of the seams were
feather-stitched with heavy twist. Tho
embroidered flannels in the shops are
rather clumsy to be made of tho full
width at the top. To avoid this, the
side with the embroidery cau be torn
off with a margin# haviug a width of
five or six inches, including tho em
broidery. A regular gored skirt can
now bo out from the flannel, to which
tho pieco torn off can bo set on as a
ruffle. A casing is made at tho top,
through which is drawn ribbon for tie
strings, or a narrow fitted yoke cau
be used. Feather stitching can be put
on all of the team*.
Still another htyle is a regular gored
skirt of flannel lined with silk to pre
vent its clinging. At tho bottom can
be a facing of ribbon, and it can bo
edged with a rulilj of lase, fine tor
chon being very haudsomo for that
purpose.—New York Examiner.

it. 'l'he next that approaohed, as
snon as it discovered its situation, ran
backward iu an agitated manner, and
soon communicated the intelligence
to tho others. They rushed to the
rescue. Some bit at the stone and
tried to move it. Others seized the
prisoner by the legs, and tugged with
such force that I thought the legs
would be pulled off; but they per
severed until they got the captive
free. I next covered one up with a
pieoe of clay, leaving only the ends
of its antennae projecting. It was
soon discovered bv its fellows, whioh
set to work immediately, and by bit
ing off pieces of the clay soon liber
ated it. The excitement and ardor
with whioh they carried on thoir un
flagging exertions for tho rescue of
their comrade could not have been
greater if they had beon human
beings."
Moths.
Moths are not generally valued.
Yet there are a few people who really
spend time and money to collect thorn.
The moth hunter goes out with net
and bottle of chloroform. Moths aro
very fond of sugar, and are sometimes
caught by what tho professionals call
"sugaring."
Sugar is dissolved in beer and ap
pliod to the trunks of trees, and when
a light is thrown on the tree the moth
will drop into the net beneath. The
eggs of the moth are gathered by
many and carefully guarded through
all stages until the moth is developed.
Some moths lay only one egg, othes
two or three on the plant they love
best. Some moths lay hundreds of
eggs on one leaf.—New York Mercury.
Wedding and Funeral Together.
John A. ChittendeD, of Ashley,
Mich., on his death bed, requested
that his sister, Louise, and her be
trothed, Charles A. Holmden, be

originally was to have taken place
some weeks hence, but the date was
changed to comply with tho wish of
the dying man, and while he lay in his
coffin his sister and her sweetheart
joined hands over the coffin while the
Eev. John Qlase performed the mar
riage ceremony. Then he delivered
the funeral oration, and tho newly
married couple occupied tho first car

germ-life
The doctors tell us, now-a-days, that disease germs
are everywhere; in the air, in the water, in our food,
clothes, money; that they get into our bodies, live
there, thrive and grow, if they find anything to thrive on.
Consumption is the destruction of lung-tissue by
germs where the lung is too weak to conquer them.
The remedy is strength—vital force.
Scott's Emulsion, with hypophosphites, means the
adjustment of lung strength to overcome germ-life.
It is fighting the germ with the odds in our favor.
These tiny little drops of fat-food make their way
into the' system and re-fresh and re-invigorate it.
Whether you succeed with it or not depends on how
good a start the germs had, and how carefully you can
live. The shortest way to health is the patient one,
The gain is often slow.

BUm Cornwall's Wonderful Kecovery of
Health—liecamn Well In Two
Months Alter an Illneu of
Six Years.
From the Register, New Haven, Conn.
In tuts rapid ago of our.} wheu so many
men and women aro old at fifty, one who
has lived three-quarters of a century, and
then, after debility and suffering, regains
health and vigor, must I>9 regarded with «.
feoling akin to wonder. A Now England
lady has been found who has had this re
markablo experience.
In tho family of Clarence William?, a Cho
shiro farmer ou the Meriden road, Cheshire,
Ct., lives Miss Cornelia Cornwall, a lady
seventy-three years of age. For several
years Miss Cornwall's health has been de
clining very rapidly, caused by a general de
bility. Her friends feared that the respected
lady had not long to live; but a kind Provi
dence directed tho aged lady, and in a news
paper advertisement Miss Cornwall read
about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills—a few boxes
of whioh she procured at once, and witli tho
result that is best told in her own words.
"About six years ago,'' Miss Cornwall be
gan,''my health commenced to fail. I suf
fored from loss of appetito and pains in dif
fcreht parts of my body. My condition
gradually grew worse until mv limbs wero
apparently unable to bear my weight, and I
could no longer go up stairs without the as
sistance of some one.
"I consulted physicians who prescribed
medicines for my blood. These I continued
to take for several months, but without any
effect. The sense of feeling in my lower
limte seemed to be leaving me, and I began
to fear that it was hopeless to look for a cure.
I was still suffering terribly from the pains
through my body, when I chanced to read
the story of a cure that had been effected
with tho use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pa'e People. I discovered that the town
druggist here had none on sale, so I sent
immediately to the headquarters In Schenec
tady, N. Y., and securod two of the boxes of
the pills.
I ''Last December I commenced using tho
pills regularly, and a month after I had bseu
taking them, I felt greatly benefited by their
vse. The feeling in my limbs came back
j again, and in two months I was able togo
; about tho house as I had been accustomed to
i a year bofore. Now, as you can see. lam
enjoying good health. Tho pallor in my
face was removed by the pills. A number of
my friends in tho neighborhood were com
plaining of symptoms somewhat similar to
my own, and I recommended that they tako
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They did so, aud
they tell me that they have beon very much
benefited by their use. I still continue to
take the pills, though there Is not so much
necessity for them at present. As a purifier
of the blood, I consider the Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills a wonderful medicine."'
