FROSTBITE AND CHILBLAINS
■•w to Treat Parti Aftetfi br Ei*
poiire to C*M.
Frostbitten parts should be rubbed
with snow or towels soaked In Ice wa
ter; remain in a cool room. When the
skin becomes warmer after the rub
bing with snow, wrap the affected part
In cotton wool. When a person Is near
ly frozen to dua'h plnce him in a coot
room, rub him up and down with flan
nel soaked In alcohol or whisky and
follow this by rubbing with dry hands.
Make artificial respiration at the start
(the same as practiced for a person res
cued from the water!. After a time
wrap the patient In warm blankets
and apply mustard plasters over the
heart «ud spine. Give Injection into
the bowel of brandy or whisky. As
Boon as the patient can swallow, give
brandy or whisky by mouth. As his
condition improves gradually admit
heat and raise the temperature of the
room.
Chilblain Is the secondary effect of
cold. The person suffering from chil
blain must take exercise out of doors
and never loiter around the fire. Ev
ery morning upon rising he should take
a cold water sponge off from head to
foot, followed by brisk rubbing with a
rough towel. Sleep with warm stock
ings on the feet or with the feet against
a bag or bottle of hot water. If the
chilblain be only a small spot, wash
the part twice dally with cold salt wa
ter and rub dry with flannel, after
which rub with a mixture of turpen
tine and sweet oil In equal parts.
CARE OF LAMPS.
■aw Tfcfy Should Be Handled to In
•nrc Uood Light*.
Much has been said and written con
cerning the best lamp chimneys and
burners to use In order to have good
lights, but neither one is so Important
as to keep the burners clean. Many
lamps give a dull, feeble light or have
been set aside as daugerous because
they are not properly cared for in this
respect and the dust has accumulated
In the small air tube at the side of the
wick. The remedy Is so simple that
there Is no excuse for this condition of
affairs.
New lamp chimneys are toughened
and made more durable by putting
them in water and heating it gradually
until It is boiling hot. When they have
boiled five minutes, set them off the
•tove and allow them to cool in the wa
ter. In addition to the dally filling of
the lamps and cleaning of the chim
neys, the burners Bhould be boiled once
a week In water containing enough
washing powder to make a good suds.
This will remove the oil and leave
them bright and clean. Polißh with
dry flannel.
Use none but the best oil, and the
lamp should be kept full to insure a
good light. Keep the reflector, If it has
one, brightly polished. Do not cut the
wick, but turn it Just above the tube
and rub off the charred portion with a
match.
NEED OF GOOD ROADS.
They Coat Money, bat In the End
Are Cheaper Than Poor Ones.
The greatest need of the country la
good roads. To have good roads we
must have a good road law, says Tex
as Farm and Ranch. To have a good
road law the people who use roads
must be made to comprehend their val
ue. Then they will demand of state
and county legislators to proceed to
solve the problem.
Good roads cost money, and myopic
taxpayers have objected to any prac
tical system on that account, whereas
bad roads cost a great deal more than
telford or macadam. There Is no lack
of facts and figures to prove this state
ment true. Railroads, telegraphs and
telephones are great modern agencies
of civilization, and If there Is an ex
ception to the rule that civilization
follows these Institutions we have fail
ed to find It or hear of It. But bad
eountry roads greatly retard the civ
ilizing process, besides levying the
heaviest tax known to civilization.
Rural mall delivery Is largely de
pendent upon the character of our
toads, and would be well nigh imprac
ticable on the muddy lanes of the
Texas black waxy section in wet
weather. Therefore, to enjoy the bene
fits of a daily mall, our people must go
to work systematically to make better
roads. What matters It If a road costs
*3.000, f'l.ooo or even SIO,OOO per mile
If, after It Is made, every person who
us*« It will feel glad that the expendi
ture was made?

GHOST OF THE PIT
There were supposed to be ghosts on
the railroad line on which McFadden
and Johnny Forber worked. One night
a merchandise freight westbound dash
ed into a gravel pit. The wreck was
not a serious one as the train had
kept the rails of the Y, but when
it was discovered later that half
a car of silk was missing from this
train, and said silk was traced _from
Chicago to the pit and there lost Sight
of, talk about ghosts and other queer
things was considerable.
The company gained .no clew to the
method In which the silk was taken,
and In a month or so. except to the de
tectives, the thlug was forgotten. Then
came another wreck at the dark pit,
a bad wreck, and in that the company
lost nearly a carload of mixed mer
chandise. Now the ghosts »r thieves
got away with it was a mystery.
Wagon tracks were looked for, but not
found. Not a road except that of the
rails led into the pit. The nearest
farmhouse was a mile away from the
pit. The trainmen of the wreck—those
that survived the wild plunge over a
misplaced switch— reported that farm
ers came to their assistance.
When the third wreck occurred,
about 7 o'clock one evening, and tlio
wires conveyed the news to Chicago,
the officials looked blankly at each
other. Officers and help were ordered
to the spot, but as it would take three
or four hours to get there in the mean
time the train and its men had to bo
left to their own care. This wreck
had not Injured the main line at all,
and McFadden, coming east with the
Orange limited, found at the last sta
tion before the pit would be reached
that he could soil through without dc
i lay.
"Bad wreck?" lie asked his conductor.
"Two dead and everything pied up
in the pit," was the answer.
"Is it a ghost?" he asked Fireman
Forbes In return.
"It's human devils out for loot," said
Johnny, breaking up the coal into
pieces as small as an apple and spread
ing it over his lire with great even
ness. He gave the sides and corners of
his firebox a little the preference in
placing his coal, but only a practiced
eye could have told that. Still, that
little trick had already given Forbes
the name of being the best fireman for
the company on the road.
McFadden settled himself down in
his cab seat, giving his engine just
enough steam to make her start easy
and Increase in speed gradually. The
night was uncommonly dark, and while
he kept his eye on the rail his mind
wandered ahead to where his fellow
workmen were in the ditch, some dead,
some injured, all in danger.
Had he been his own master he
would have stopped the express at the
gravel pit and gone to the assistance of
the Injured crew, but his orders were
to come in fast and on time, and Mc-
Fadden always obeyed. From the
wreck his mind passed to thoughts of
Brush, and his happy married life, the
goodness of the president to him, and
the general happiness in being alive,
health}' and able to work.
His engine was making tine head
way now, and the song of the wheels
on the rails made wild music.
"Coming down to the pit," said
Forbes to him.
Both men craned their necks for sig
nals, but the lights at the switches
were white. Down in the pit some
lanterns were moving, and one of them
waved feebly as they rushed by. Just
east of the pit the track curved In a
series of short reverses, then shot out
straight, then curved again. McFad
den always kept a sharp watch in there
for stray cattle or people walking on
the track. So this night he peered
ahead, feeling the exultation of his
engine, the blast of the wind and the
uplifting the niglit possesses for any
one compelled to live much in it.
Forbes left his firing aud came and
stood behind him a moment, as Was
his frequent wont. Both men were
watching the rail and the curves ahead,
and then they saw the dim outline of a
car ahead of them, several moving fig
ures, heard a wild scream, and what
ever had happened was over. McFad
den got his train stopped, happy he
was still on the rail. The train crew
were out with frightened passengers
looking for what had been struck.
After awhile they found pieces of two
push cars, a couple of bodies, two bad
ly injured men and a considerable
quantity of merchandise in bundles
and packages. Then it was not ex
plainable, but the next morning com
pany agents, talking with one of the
Injured men, who was dying, learned
the mystery of the gravel pit "ghost."
Half a dozen young farmers' sous,
wild and wayward boys, had noted the
Y track into the pit and the ease with
which passing freights could be shunt
ed In there. They had also mapped
out the scheme of breaking into cars
after wrecks took place—wrecks caus
ed by themselves—and of loading their
plunder onto push cars held on the
track near by. These cars were rapid
ly run down the track a couple of miles
and then unloaded onto wagons stand
ing In the road. They were stored in a
distant granary, from which in time
they were conveyed into Chicago and
sold at a considerable profit to the
thieves. The use of the push cars had
covered completely the manner in
which the goods were taken from the
cars and the blackness of the gravel
pit itself had made it easy work to loot
a car while pretending to be rescuers
©f the injured.
The night of the last wreck In their
calculations the young criminals had
forgotten that they were working on
the time of the Orange limited. They
did not know it was upon them until
the electric headlight flashed out and It
was too late to escape. So the "ghost"
of the gravel pit was laid forever.—Chi

The popularity of young pork with
. plenty of lean meat on it has proved a
l boon to the farmers, for it is far more
profitable in raise the tirst Hmi pounds
l of any animal il an the last PHI pounds,
| says an American Cultivator writer.
' This is partly due to the fact that ua
; ture forces the growth of the young
' animal rapidly, bones, muscles and
i flesh all growing so that every ounce
! of food is almost entirely converted Into
j live weight. There is practically no loss,
| and all the animal requires is fair at
j tention and good food. Nature Is then
I able ami willing to do the rest.
When an animal reaches maturity,
' the laying on <>f additional weight be
: comes a slow process. We may by a
' good forcing system increase the weight
quite rapidly, but not nearly so easily
as in a youug animal. Vet it costs more
to feed the old h<ig because there is a
larger system to feed, and a good deal
of the nourishment goes to make suth
elent strength to carry the animal
along.

The young pigs that can be forced to
20ti pounds in t > seven mouths are
the most profitable things raised on the
farm. If wise foresight and attention
are given to them, this is not too much
of a growth to expect; but, like every
thing else, the work must be performed
after some good, practical and well test
ed system. From the day they are born
until they are ready to market see that
the growth is continual and steady. It
Is a good plan to have some arrange
ments to weigh them every few weeks
or months. When they reach maturity
and show increasing signs of lagging ID
flesh making, send them to market Dc
not keep them another week unless
prices happen to be very low.
Fail In Favor.
Spring pigs are the best for this busl
ness. They will add more weight in six
months than fall pigs. Yet the latter
have points in their favor, and they
should not he discarded. The best way
is to raise both spring and fall pigs.
CORN MACHINERY.
The ProßrrM of (hp Harvester—Com
l»ln« d lliDikcr and Shrcdilfr.
It is only within recent years that
any attempt has been made to furnish
the farmer with corn harvesting ma
chinery that is at all comparable with
that long ago invented for harvesting
small grain, says lowa Homestead. The
immense waste of stover continued for
years ail over the corn belt, and the
figures representing the waste, if they
could be even conservatively estimated,
would he startling Indeed. There is ev
ery reason to believe, however, that
better conditions will prevail iu the
future.
The corn harvester appeared in 1895,
and, although its introduction was
somewhat slow, as is the case with all
new ideas, the machine trade papers re
port that about 115,000 harvesters were
sold during the present year, and the
demand was so great that it could not
be supplied. It is estimated that within
a very few years the annual sales of
the corn harvester will amount to I<W>,-
000.
The corn harvester and shredder
made their appearance at about the
same time and apparently to stay. The
best shredders on the market now husk
the corn and shred the stover iu one
operation. From H.ooo to 10,000 of
these machines have been sold this sea
son, which is nearly as many as the
number of thrashing machines that are
annually sold.
A single shredder, like a thrashing
machine, does duty on many farms, so
that the figures representing the sales
of shredders must be read with this
fact In view In order to appreciate the
extent to which they are being availed
of. To a much larger extent, therefore,
than ever before the corn crop will In
the future be a machine crop, and tlie
terrible wastes connected with it in the
past, which made the economist shud
der, will measurably cease.
How to Make Cold Cream.
Putin a double boiler six ounces of
sweet almond oil, and, having put as
much water iu the outer vessel as for
any cooking, set on the range to warm.
Have ready four good sized cucumbers
which have been carefully wiped to
be perfectly clean. Cut them, unpeeled,
in squares two or three inches in size.
When the oil is warm, add the cucum
bers and set the boiler on the back of
the stove where the water will simmer
for four or five hours. Strain, and to
six ounces of the liquid add ail ounce
of white wax, one of spermaceti and
two of lanolin. Heat until these ingre
dients have melted, then remove from
the fire and beat with an egg beater
until cold, adding during the beating
process two teaspoonfuls of tincture of
benzoin. This is one of the best cold
creams known and is a standard for

SPRAINED JOINTS.
Dow to Trc«! In Hednee the Pain
and Snrlling.
An Injury resulting from any violent
wrenching or twisting of a joint with
out a fracture of bone is termed a
sprain, says Youth's Companion.
Immediate attention is an imperative
necessity in sprains, since iu no injury
do swelling and pain more promptly
supervene. The marked and rapid
swelling following a sprain Is usually
occasioned by the exudation of fluids
taking place not only around tiie injur
ed joint, but also within the joint, the
latter frequently to so great an extent
as to force the two articulating sur
faces apart.
Any motion or weight upon the Joint
when in this condition is intolerable,
and in every case effort should be
made to check exudation promptly, re
lieve the swelling and pain and relax
the tension of the muscles adjacent.
Nothing meets "the emergency better
than hot water—as hot as can be borne
—and this fortunately is usually quick
ly at hand even In the most primitive
camp. The joint and adjacent limb
should be plunged into the water,
which may be kept hot by the addition
of small quantities from another ves
sel kept over the tire. This treatment
must be continued for hours if neces
sary. It should continue at least until
the swelling and pain have been reduc
ed. An all night treatment not infre
quently results in the possibility of
using the limb the next day, although
such a procedure is not to be recom
mended.
Cold water Is nearly as effectual as
hot in checking the symptoms. In
some cases It seems equally efficacious
and even more comforting. In either
case the treatment must be prolonged
and the temperature of the water faith
fully kept at tbe point of greatest efH
clency.
Other remedies are also valuable if
the physician has them at hand, but
all are used with the same end in
view—of relaxing muscular tension,
combating the swelling and relieving
pain.
How to Care For the Teeth.
If the teeth are to get but one thor
ough cleaning during the day, just be
fore retiring is the best time to give it
to them, as there are six or eight hours
during sleep that the salivary glands
are inactive, and fatty and starchy
foods that may be lodged between and
around the teeth are bathed in saliva,
a partial digestive fluid, undergo de
composition, forming acids which act
more or less readily on the tooth struc
ture at the time of their formation. The
salivary glands not being active during
sleep, acids are not diluted, as during
the day a free flow of saliva prevents
to a great degree the deleterious ef
fects of acids thus formed. The teeth
nnd gums should he carefully brushed
after each meal with a medium soft
brush, using as a wash on damp brush
alcohol, rosewater and listerine, equal
parts.—Dr. S. I). Potter In Ohio Dental
Journal.
Cold Kraiue* and Hot liouucn.
So great are the use and importance
of Inexpensive hothouses and cold
frames In starting early vegetables
that no one should be without one or
more, says a correspondent of Ameri
can Agriculturist. Crops can be pro
tected in these until very late in the
fall, and semihardy plants can be kept
iu perfect condition all winter long.
Where one raises vegetables for early
market hothouses are of course abso
lute necessities, but even the ordinary
farmer needs them for his early crops,
whether be is engaged in tbe market
gardening business or not. Tomatoes,
lettuce, seed onions and scores of other
vegetables can be started under glass
months before it is possible to plant
them outside.

Kansas Farmer, lu nearly all cases
the more rapidly animals are linlslied (

Better results will be secured if all the

It Is a mistake to keep breeding ani
