FARM AND HOUSE.
Matters of interest to farmer
and housewife.
Feed Judiciously.
If there is a time for economy in forage
and grain for stock, it is when the barns
are full. So many farmers think they
have plenty on hand there is no necessity
for saving, and therefore they feed it
with lavish waste. The northern farmers
coming here are frequently heard to
say they could keep their stock on our
waste. The charge is justified by observation
and experience. The best way to

tend to his stock at feeding time, and
see that they have no more given to them
than they can readily eat up clean. Go
into the stalls of the average farmer, and
it will be seen that hay is littered kneedeep
on the floor, trod on, and defiled
so stock will not touch it. If only
enough was given, and the manger is
properly guarded by straps across to prevent
pulling out, this would not happen.
Again, it is a common sight to see bits of
ears of corn, partially eaten and slobbered
over, so it is unfit for eating.?Nashville

Heavy Fowls.
' Many persons suppose they cannot
breed heavy fowls unless they have heavy
stock to commence with; but this is a
mistake, as I have proved by experience,
to my own satisfaction at least. Breeders
will always sell birds hatched late in
the season cheaper than early-hatched
fowls. Such fowls will, however, never
attain the size of the early chicks; but as
the difference in the price is an item of
importance to mauv, we must not look
miifh tn tVif. c;-/r> nf those birds as to
consider wliat they will do as breeders.
Now if these fowls are bred from heavy
stock, and the only cause of their being
small is that they are late-hatched, then
early chicks from them will grow to as
large a size as the chicks hatched the
fame time from larger fowls. Of course,
by breeding late and consequently small
fowls year aften year, the stock may be
degenerated, but one remove from large
stock as above stated, will do no harm
whatever. Large, showy prize-winners
do not always prove the best breeders.?

How to Raise Carrots.
A Vermont fanner has been experimenting
with an easy method of raising
them, and writes to Our Country Home:
In the fall when I can do nothing else I,
draw to the field intended for carrots i
plenty of well-rotted stable manure and j
give the ground a liberal dressing. I then
plow the soil into ridges, and leave it until
spring to pulverize. Before plowing
in the spring I give the ground another
good dressing of manure. I then harrow
the surface level, plow quite deep,
and harrow until the surface is left as
Bmooth as it is possible to make it. It is
then ready for the seed. After the rows
are marked out two and a half feet apart
I sow the seed by running the drill in the
bottom of these rows. The garden roller
will cover the seed sufficiently. By rolling
the whole piece over I find that soil
letainsthe moisture better should it be
/lrrwli(in t"hp nlnnHnor is rloriP. When \
""J ~ I ? ? - I
the young plants begin to show themselves
I scrape the soil away from the
?lants into the spaces between the rows,
'his gives the young plants a start and j
at the same time kills all weeds that may j
be starting. As soon as the weeds begin j
to grow I put the horseshoe and cultivator
to work, going through them at least
once a week until the tops get large
enough to shade the ground. Three
inches apart is about the right distance to
leave the young plants in the row. If j
furthe apart it is waste of ground, and if !
closer they will be crowded and grow i
small. It is just as much work to top a
small as a large carrot. Pull up all weeds I
that arc left in the row. One pound of
seed is sufficient for an acre.
Interesting Facts About Beets.
At the New York Experiment Station
were tested eleven so-called varieties of
garden beet, one of chard, fourteen of
mangel murzel and eleven of sugar beet.
The seeds were planted April 24, in rows
ten feet long; two rows each of the garden
beets and chards and one of the
mangels and sugar beets.
The soil was manured with a moderate
application of stable manure. The rows

one inches apart and those of the mangels
and sugar beet twice that distance, or
three and a half feet apart. The plants j
were thinned to six inches apart in the j
row. A table, noting the results given !
in the report of this experiment, shows j
that the average height of roots is de- j
cidedly less in the garden beet than in i
the sugar beet or mangel, and that in the
Vilmorin's improved sugar beet, which is
noted for its sugar, the root averages less
. in weight than in the other varieties of j
sugar beet. In the beet, richness in flavor |
and in sugar, accompany small size; I
hence, in choosing for table use, one |
should not necessarily select the most ,
productive variety.
It was noted that the more depressed ;
the root, or in other words the flatter it
is, the more rapid is its development. j
This- rule seemed also to apply to other ,
garden roots as well as to onions.
By planting several samples of seed :
grown in the station's garden a previous j
season, was learned the fact that the va- |
rieties of this vegetable cross-fertilize by
natural agencies, and hence cannot be I
kept pure except when grown separated
some distance from each other.?Neis j

, Maun?*enient ol'Heavy Sod Land.
The popular idea about an old sod is
that it is necessarily rich. If the old sod J
is subject to overflow, or has not been so j
heavily pastured as to prevent it from |
thickening up, this estimate of fertility |
may prove correct. But any one who i
expects immediate results from it will |
very probably be disappointed. It is i
only the most enduring grasses that sur- j
vive ill an old pasture, and when the field
is plowed there ensues a struggle for life
that baffles the best efforts of the farmer
to repress. The common blue grass is
first cousin to quack, and though it be
turned to the bottom of the furrow, its
thread-like roots will send up shoots to
the surface, and unless vigorously cultivated
the field will soon be as green as
before plowing.
"Wherever possible, an old sod should
be plowed in the fall, so that part of the
decomposition of its roots may occur in
winter while they are dormant. The
heavy soil turned up will be worked by
frost into fine tilth by springtime, i
And if it has been done in the
fall there is a further advantage
in topTdressing with manure, which will
thus fertilize the seed bed instead of
being buried at the bottom of the furrow.
There is no danger that this extra
surface fertility will make grass roots
more vigorously. The surface sown weeds
will indeed be stronger for it, but they
are easily kept down. The decomposing
manure will furnish heat and help to rot
the sod more quickly than it otherwise
would.
Two years of thorough cultivation will
be needed to subdue a tough sod so as to
fit it for seeding with clover. And under
most circumstances such land should not
be kept under cultivation more than two
years without seeding. In killing out old
grass roots in a heavy sod a great amount
of plant food is made available, and this
will be wasted by washing of rains and
snows if clover is nnt sown to retain it.
Near cities land may be too valuable to
seed to clover every two or three years,
but this is nor the location where old sod
land is generally found. No matter how
high the price of land, an occasional rcseeding
with clover and grass will restore
fertility as nothing else will.?Boston
Successful Sheep Husbandry,
The knowledge necessary for successful
sheep husbandry is of a twofold character.
The successful manager of a flock
of sheep must know what to do, and
when and how to do it. As the successful
pilot must have knowledge not alonG
of the deep and smooth waters of the
route his vessel is to traverse, but as well
must know the location of the hidden
rocks and shoals to be avoided, so must
the shepherd know the course in his business
that is free from obstructions, and
which will, under ordinary conditions, insure
successful results.
First of all, have your mind thoroughly
made up as to what particular phase of
industry you propose to confine your I
efforts. In reaching this conclusion, one j
will need to take into account the amount I
of capital invested, the kind and number
of sheep he will begin with, and the limits
to which capital and surroundings circumscribe
him. If the owner of land,
one can utake chances "from which
the mere leaseholder is barred. A large
proportion of the failures among men
making sheep husbandry their leading
business, have resulted from indebtedness
incurred for sheep and lands, with the
expectation that profits would soon wipe
out both principal and interest. At any
time than when a "boom-' is on, more [
money will be made from a small, wellselected
flock that lias been paid for, than
from a larger one from which the first
returns belong to the creditor.
"When you buy a sheep for breeding
purposes be sure that it is better than the
best in your own flock in blood and
physical development; and when you
have bought it, see that it is cared for
like any valuable piece of property. Good
live stock, like good clothes, cannot be i
exposed to all kinds of hardship without
showing the effects of such harsh
treatment.
Take off the wool as soon as the
weather seems settled and warm enough
to admit of it with safety to the sheep,
and put the fleeces in such order that the J
buyer will readily give you the top price l
for wools of similar grade. j
Breed so as to have every lamb an im- |
provement upon the average standard of
the flock, and sell as soon as they can be
made ready all that come below such
standard. When the time comes for
selling animals of any age do the select- ;
ing yourself?always keeping the best, j
They are worth more to you than any one
else, so long as you are not overstocked.
Do not be tempted into keeping more
sheep than you have first-class arrangements
for keeping?food and other neces- !
sary accomodations.
Do not keep different breeds of sheep
together. The conditions best suited to
some are notthe best for others,and when
* " ?i" i-- ?n ,?;n
mixeci tne result win ui?u an ma
come short of their highest possible results.
Do not abandon sheep husbandry because
prices are temporarily unsatisfactory,
or be in a hurry to expand your
business when a "boom" sets in. Wool
and mutton, like everything. else, will
vary in price, and the changes in price
will come faster than any man can change
his business without sacrifice.? Ohio

A RACE OF DWARFS, i
PIGMY PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN
CENTRAL AMERICA.
Ruined Cities that Testify of their
Existence?Dwarfs Still to be
. Pound ? A Diminutive
Girl's Capture.
Alice D. Le Plongron writes as follows
in the New York Tribune: Stories about
diminutive people are found in many
countries, not as real beings, but shadows
that come and go, and are called by
various names, such as fairy, fay, elf,
pixie, etc. Nowhere are such little people
more talked about than in some parts
of Central America, notably in British
Honduras and Yucatan, where people
1.4.4.1^ "i r??V* oro VOTTT i
lllllU Jliuic uinu iuui -wig" uib ?<-?j
numerous even at the present time.
Whenever the natives are questioned
about the ancient temples found in their
country, they say " The pygmies built
them," and although no importance is
generally attached to that answer, it is a
strange fact that on the East Coast of
Yucatan, as -well as on adjacent islands,
there are whole cities, in ruinous condition,
of houses that could not possibly
have served for people more than three
feet high. I have measured many of
those houses, which are strongly
constructed of hewn stone, and found
the doorways not more than three
feet high, and eighteen inches wide,
while my head nearly touched the ceilings
of the largest rooms. No one can
dissuade natives from the idea that the
ghosts of those diminutive people
roam about at night. They say. "But
we do see them; they are no higher than
a child four years old, and they wear big |
hats. They throw stones at us, shako j
our hammocks, and hammer on the bench
where we grind corn."
It is affirmed that very diminutive
people still dwell among the hills in
Honduras and Guatemala, but no one
seems able to put his fingers upon them,
which would lead to the belief that if
there are any still living, as so many
assert, they must be very few, and successful
in hiding. Nevertheless, it is
credibly related that one day, in the
year 1825, some woodcutters, wandering
along the banks of the Moho river in
British Honduras, in search of mahogany
trees, was startled upon reaching a
place called Meditation Fall, by a strange
little being that suddenly emerged from ,
the bush, Stared wildly at them, then
turned to flee. The men pursued, overtook,
and brought the odd creature to
their camp. It was a dark-skinned girl,
not quite three feet tall, and with no
other covering than her hair which fell
in thick black masses to her feet, completely
covering her. She was very wild, but
not stupid, and finding that no harm was
done to her, she talked to the wood-cutters
in the Maya tongue that they also
spoke, that being the language of the Indians
in those parts. As the weather
was cool, one of the men gave her a red
flannel shirt, which clothed her from
head to foot. For a day or two she refused
to eat, but afterward seemec. contented.
She said her people were all the
same size as herself, and that they were
then living near Meditation Fall, where
they had planted a cornfield, but that
they generally dwelt three or four miles
away in a deep valley. After she had
been in the camp about ten days, some
of the men proposed to go and see her
people. She manifested delight, and
! offered to guide them to the spot. Reach!
ing the place where they first met her,
j she led them into the forest, then made a
j sign for them to stop and be silent. A
: hub-bub of voices, as of many people
talking, reached their ears, and
the girl whispered to them that she
would go and announce their coming, as
otherwise her people would run away
and hide on hearing footsteps. Away
she went,and soon not a sound was heard.
The men waited patiently,Jbut their diminutive
guide did not return. Convinced
that she had very cunningly
eluded them, they went forward, and in
two minutes found themselves in a cornfield.
There were embers in two or three
places, and small piles of corn, as if prepared
for transportation. The ground
was much trodden,but no living creature
was in sight. They searched in vain, and
remained some time in the field hoping
that the owners would return for the corn,
but they never saw the girl again, nor
any of her people. One of those very
woodmen gave me this account, and similar
stories have been told by others; but
all such stories might be doubted were it
not for the cities of diminutive houses,
which any traveler may examine for himself.
Fish That Beg.
Through the last "defile" about halfway
below Sampanago, on the borders of
the Upper Burmah, is a small rocky island
which in the dry season is connected
1 with the shore by a narrow spit of sand.
In the bay thus formed lie enormous dogfish
which are perfectly tame. Dr. Williams,
in his book called "Through Burmah
to Western China," relates: "As
we drew near the island, I asked the
boatman to call the fish. He hesitated,
until assured that we had something to
give them to eat, but at length slightly
ruffled the water with his outspread fingers,
and called with a coaxing voice:
Tit-tit, tit-tit J' when, to our extreme as
tonishment, in less than half a minute
large mouths from ten inches to a foot in
diameter rose to the gunwale of the boat,
gaping for alms. They were a kind of
dog-fish, some of them at least five feet
in length and very broad at the shoulders.
Twenty or thirty crowded to the
side of the canoe, and, though not clamorous.
were ludicrously energetic in their
begging, some of them rising so far out
of the water as to lose their balance and
topple back with a splash on their neighbors.
So tame were they that they allowed
us to stroke their backs. Some of
them had patches of gilding on their
heads."
Rats Will leave.
A correspondent of Chambers' Journal
says that chloride of lime will drive rats
away. He first made this discovery on
board ship, and says also: "On ray return
to England I took a house and furnished
it. After being in it a short
time I found that it was infested with
rats. They would get through every
/\n tVir* rrvmiml flnnr On pvnmina

tion I discovered that a drain ran under
the house emptying into the harbor. I
here ngain used the chloride of lime freely,
and in less than a week every rat had
taken its departure. I have recommended
this remedy to many ship-masters and
friends on shore; and in all causes it has
proved a success. I have occupicd my
present residence for five years, and we
have neither rat nor mouse on the premises.
I attribute this to the free use of
the above mixture, which is also effective
as a deodorizer and disinfectant."

POPULAR SCIENCE.
A plan for rendering paper as tough
as wood or leather, it is said, has been
recently introduced on the continent. It
consists in mixing chloride of zinc with
the pulp in the course of manufacture.
It has been found that the greater the
degree of concentration of the zinc solution,
the greater will be the toughness of
the paper. It can be used for making
boxes, combs, for roofing, and even for
making boots.
Experiments on the sleep of fishes have
been made in London by Mr. W. August
Carter. He has found that the freshwater
fishes observed?the roach, dace,
gudgeon, carp, tench, minnow and catfish
?sleep periodically like terrestrial animals.
The same is true of some marine
fishes, such as the wrasse, conger eel,
dory, dogfish, wrasse bass and all species
of flat fish, but the goldfish, pike and

select nighttime for repose.
Crocodiles are represented by alligators.
Their tails are used for swimming, and
their legs aid in lifting them out of the
mud. They build nests of leaves and
vegetation before it has begun to decay;
a layer of eggs, a layer of vegetation.
The heat of the vegetation hatches the
eggs. The crocodile differs from the
alligator by having no long separation
between the nostrils. It has a valve in
the throat for keeping out water. The
crocodiles of the Nile and of the Ganges
are most dangerous. Alligators are called
cold-blooded because of their inability to
develop much heat in their bodies.
Among the wonders of photography it
is said that with a lens made of rock salt
it might be possible to photograph in the
dark. One operator has succeeded in
preparing plates which are sensitive to
the rays lying beyond the red end of the

such plates used with rock salt lens there
should be a possibility of photographing
bodies which possess a higxi temperature,

It is even possible that such
a plan may some day be so perfect as to
give us that information about the "dark
suns" that are believed to crowd the firmament?or
rather heavenly bodies, which
once were seen, but have now cooled
down so as to be invisible.
Dr. Chapman, an English physician
who has practiced for a number of years
in Paris, but was formerly in India,
where he had cholera to treat, has just
published a book entitled "Cholera Curable."
He is the man who sometime ago
recommended the use of ice-bags for
sickness, and. has more recently tried the
same method with cholera. He used it
in ten cases, with a result of ten cures.
The ice-bag :is a triple rubber bag, about
twenty to twenty-four inches wide. Each
part is filled witji fine pieces of ice, and
it is applied to the back along the spinal
column. Its application should be constant,
so the ice must be changed from
time to time. The vomiting was stopped
by its use almost at once, while there was
a great diminution in the cramp. The
patients warmed up, the pulse came
back, and all the symptoms gradually
disappeared.
Mineral waters, when examined in a
glass, are usually clear and trnsparent.
But when we look down upon them in a
spring, or as they are accumulated in reservoirs,
they frequently present a green
hue, an optical effect depending on their
density. In some instances, however, ]
they present other colors, due to substances
which they contain in impalpable
division. The whitish color, frequently
observed in sulphur water, is caused by
the precipitation of sulphur, the yellow
by the change of a monosulphuret into a
polysulphuret. A pure white color is often
due to precipitation of carbonate of
lime, while a blue color arises from the
suspension of slate or clay in the water in
minute subdivision. A red color is frequently
seen in challybeate waters, and
results from the precipitation of the red
oxide of iron. In some instances, however,
a red color may be due to micronlrrnp

The Potato.
The early history of the potato is involved
in obscurity. It has been supposed
that the plant was first found by
Europeans in Virginia, and that Sir Walter
Raleigh carried it thence to England
in the year 1586. Raleigh never visited
Virginia. He only furnished ships and
means to aid in planting a colony there.
The most probable theory to my mind is,
that Sir Francis Drake, returning from
explorations in the Pacific ocean, coasted |
along the western shores of South
America, one of the native habitats of I
the potato, and while in that region procured
some of the tubers, which he carried
with him to England.* On his homeward
voyage, he touched on the shores of Virginia,
and took off the discouraged colonists
and conveyed them back to the
mother country. If this is correct, then
this introduction probably occurred as
early as 1565, this being the date of
Drake's return from the West. The potato
was doubtless known to Europeans
at an eariier date, as Columbus, during
one of his voyages, found a root cultivated
on the island of Cuba, that was
used for food by the natives, and this
was no doubt the potato.
Early European voyagers and travelers
found the potato growing in the Andean
forests and along the Pacific coasts on
both sides of the equator, through sev- I
eral degree of latitude. It was also found
in cultivation, the natives testifying that
it had been in cultivation as an article of
diet from time immemorial. Spanish
and Portugoese adventurers probably in- |
troduced the potato into those countries
at a very early day, whence it probably

tain that it was cultivated in Spain as
early as 1550. The time of its introduction
iijto Ireland, where it has become so
important as an article of food that a general
failure of the crop results in a famine,
is in dispute, some claiming that it
was from Spain by a sea captain in 1565,
others that it was procured from Raleigh
in England.?Rev. L. J. Templin.

| EXCITEMENT UNABATED,
Proof that that Physician's Terrible Con*
Tension is Trne.
Cleveland 0., Herald.
Yesterday and the day before we copied
into our columns from the Rochester, N. Y.,
Democrat and Chronicle, a remarkable
statement, made by J. B. Henion, M. D., a
f entleman who is well known in this city,
n that article Dr. Henion recounted a wonderful
experience which befell him, and the
next day we published from the same paper
a second article, giving an account of the excitement
in Rochester, and elsewhere, caused
by Dr. Henion* statement. It is doubtful if
any two articles were ever published which
caused greater commotion both among professionals
and laymen.
Since the publication of these two articles,
having been besieged with letters of inquiry,
we sent a communication to Dr. Henion and
also to H. H. Warner & Co., asking if any
additional proof could be given, and here it is:
Gentlemen: I owe my life and present
health wholly to the power of Warner's Safe
Cure, which snatched me from the very brink
of the grave. It is not surprising that people
should question the statement I made (which
is true in every respect) for my recovery was

J. B. Henion, M. D.
Rochester, N. Y., Jan. 21.
Sirs: The best'proof we can give you
that the statements made by Dr. Henion are
entirely true, and would not have been published
unless strictly so, is the following
testimonial from the best citizens of Rochester,
and a card published bv Rev. Dr. Foote.
H. H. Warner & Co.
To Whom it May Concern:
We are personally or by reputation acquainted
with Dr. Henion, and we believe he
would publish no statement not literally true.
"We are also personally or by reputation well
acquainted with H. H. "Warner & Co., proprietors
of Warner's Safe Cure (by which Dr.
Henion says he was cured).whose commercial
and personal standing in this community are
of the highest order, and we believe that they

o Editor of the Living Church, Chicago, HI.:
There was published in the Rochester (N. Y.)
Democrat and Chronicle of the 31st of December,
a statement made by J. B. Henion,
M. D., narrating how he had been cured of
Bright's disease of the kidneys, almost in its
last stages, by the use of Warner's Safe Cure.
I was referred to in that statement, as having
recommended and urged Dr. Henion to
try the remedy, which he did,
and was cured. The statement
of Dr. Henion is true, so far as it concerns
myself, and I believe it to be true in all
other respects. He was a parishioner of mine
and I visited him in his sickness. I urged
him to take the medicine, 'and would do the
sam? again to any one who was troubled with
a disease of the liidueys and liver.

My Friend, do you suffer with malaria?
Almost any impure condition of the

your blood, and you will feel like a new

Qntck Relief.
Dayton, Ohio, Jan. 12,1886.
Ton may add my testimony as to the merits
of Piso's Cure for Consumption. I took a '
severe cold last February, which settled on my
lungs. They became ulcerated and were so
painful that I had no rest for two days and
nights. I got a bottle of Piso's Cure for Consumption,
and was relieved by the time I had
taken half of it. Since that time I have kept
Piso's Cure in the house, and use it as a preventive,
both for lung troubles and croup, for
which I can recommend it an the best, medicine
I ever used; and that is saying a great deal,
for I have used at least twenty others, besides
about as many physicians' prescriptions.
Piso's ure for onsumntion has never failed
to give relief in my family.
