Tn relation to failures in the care oi te is often disappointed at not receiving a fair return in eggs for tlic attention and care bestowed. The majority oi failures arise with those who have giver the fowls all they can eat, aud, with a liberal supply of ground oyster shells, ground bone, gravel, fresh water and preen food, no eggs reward the persevering poultryman. The cause of failure is that the hens arc overfed. It is always a mistake to keep food before them, and, though a variety should be given, carc must be exercised not to feed a full meal cxccpt at night. If the food is so given that the hens will not be satisfied with the quantity they have received they will hunt for more, and keep busily ^ at work. This avoids idleness aud prevents them from pulling feathers or becoming too fat. In the morning the soft food may be given, but it is best not to give quite enough rather than a full allowance. Then scatter a few grains in cut straw, dirt or litter, and let them get to work scratching. At night give a lull meal. By keeping the hens warm, busy and in moderate condition they will lay well. Sugar Beets For Cows. "Are sugar beets good for milch cows?"' * rrorOprnfin not lone since. Well. HOIVCU U ?? _ _ yes, but not for a steady "diet. A dairy farmer in Massachusetts said he fed them, without thinking that they would injure ?- the milk or butter, and that after he had been feeding them for a while, his customers complained that his butter had a peculiar, 6trong (not rancid) flavor, and after a careful examination, he discarded the beets, and the butter was all right. Another Massachusetts dairyman says that he has fed from a peck to half a bushel of beets daily for a number of years, dividing the quantity fed, giving a portion in the morning and the remainder at night, but in both cases after milking, and there has been no complaint of taint about his milk or butter. Beets are not used to any great extent by dairymen in the West, for the reason that they can get better feed in the clover, corn, oats, and corn-stalks, at a very little more cost than beets, and they are aware that these produce good milk, whereas in feeding beets the grcat^ est care must be exercised, or the milk tainted with an odor that will be disagreeaElel Trtia when . beets formed a large part, of the rations of the dairy cow, but in the days of fine, giltedged butter, dairymen have to be exceedingly careful as to what and how they feed.?Prairie Farmer. Worms in Horses. rra"1 Riicrrrpstinns in the Home iUViuuv OD gtead about the removal of worms are from the pen of Dr. F. F. Rice. He says: In seeking the destruction and removal of these parasites it is of first importance to remember that any treatment which does not comprehend so improving the condition of the animal as. to render worm life impossible, is sure to result in failure. It is a fact that an animal in perfect condition will not harbor worms; accordingly, let all treatment subserve this end. Let the food be nutritious, easy of digestion and regularly given. If mastication seems imperfectly performed, and the food not well digested, examine the mouth and teeth. If the latter are sharp, irregular, and wound the cheeks and tongue, the services of a"skilled veterinarian?not a selfconstituted dentist?are required, as this condition will alone prevent proper digestion, and so nutrition. Salt should be within reach of the animal at all times when in the stable. Grooming should not be neglected,as without a healthy acting skin general health is impossible. As to medicines, given three times daily a powder containing dried sulphate of iron, 1 1-2 drachms; gentian and ground anise seed, of each four drachms. Continue its administration for one week, and then re mit two or three days. If the bowels Decome constipated feed roots or linseed meal until the condition is relieved. After the powders have been continued for a month give a bran mash at night, and on the following morning, fasting, give one quart of linseed oil. This will serve to carry away dead worms, eggs, etc. If there are small thread-lfke worms in the lower bowel, causing irritation, which the horse attempts to relieve by rubbing its tail, they may be destroyed by first clearing out the intestine by means of castile soapsuds injection, and following with injections of infusions of leaf tobacco, or quassia. Worm specifics are to be avoided, as, while they may cause the displacement of worms, their action is not continuous and moreover debilitating. Seed Corn and its Treatment. In the last annual report issued from the New York Experiment Station the large loss sustained in practical farming ana arising from the non-germination of ecd is dwelt upon at some length. The experiments carri- * on at the station einrp its organization crives results larerclv in faver of kiln-dried corn for seed and prove conclusively that seed which i6 carefully preserved not only retains its vitality longer but gives better results in planting. It is certainly good advice, and advice which it is well for the farmer to heed, to select carefully his seed corn from his bin, or, better still, from the field, and to carefully keep over to the next season in a warm and drj place. At the present time the advice is certainly justified by the facts at command, for the farmer to select his seed corn by taking the best ears, and, aftei shelling, or in the ear, to put in ji warm place and allow to thoroughly drj before using in the spring. Seed corn when planted too early is often destroyed in the ground. This destruction does not come from the cold, as often assumed, but from other conditions, the most important of which is the slow germination of the seed and a vitality which cannot endure this circumstance, and also the action of molud, which grows rapidly at a lower temperature than will suffice for the corn. " * *- - 1 .1 _ J Ill inereiore noius gutiu m piu^iKje mm to those who plant early the very best of seed is of great importance; and what adds value to this reflection is that, so far far as data at the station warrant, it can be said with considerable certainty that early planted corn will usually yield a larger croj: than will the same variety planted at a late period. Results gained at the station in the preparation of the land for corn art interpreted as slightly in favor of the compression of the soil. On a large scale has been noted the effcct of bringing the soil into contact with the seed by stepping upon the hill after planting or striking with the hoe, and a farm experience has shown that the gain in germination through using a fora-planter whose whew n?a w??r uiw fowls, the Dakota Farmer says: "When the poultryman has made his preparations and begun his operations, planted hill was sufficient alone to justify the purchase of the machine as over hand planting. "* iV. ^4 .experiments regarding mc uisiuuw ui planting corn justify the conclusion that too thick planting is injurious to the crop. The largest yield was gained in a plot where the hills were 44x44 f inches apart. Experimenting with Oats. \ L. W. Peet, of Addison County, Ver' mont, writes to the Jiural New Yorker: r "My own method, which for a number of | years has been pursued with pleasure and t profit, is as follows: Select eight to ten varieties, weigh the seed carefully and ^ sow all at the same date in drills, on unmanured ground of uniform richness; . tend with impartial care. At harvest time make the following record: (1) Number of days in ripening; (2) weight , of straw; (3) strength of straw or ten- ; dencv to lodge; (4; freedom from rust; | (5) shelling tendency; (C) weight of cleaned grain; (7) quality. This last item would include the relative hardness and thickness of the shuck, as i well as the color and amount of beards adhering to the grain. By shucking a ] quantity of each variety and weighing the < different products in chemical scales the 1 ?I-A: I <i _..i ,5 j lUlUUVU WCl^ULUl UUUMlUtJlVS wuuiu ucuu- | 1 tained, while their hardness might re- | quire another test. This process, though a tedious one, lias been pursued once or I twice by me with satisfactory results. It i will be found that no one variety will i fully answer the demands of the above A tests, and a compromise must be made by selecting the hair of the varieties yielding I the best average, and the following year < substituting new varieties for those re- 1 jected, and so continuing the experiment, i While accurate and reliable results can 1 be deduced only after a series of trials, 1 owing to varying conditions of soil, in- s sects, seasons, etc., a few general conclu- i sions have been snggested to my mind from past experiences: 1, That an early t oat is the safest to raise; 2, that no varie- 1 ty is actually "rust-proof;" 3, that the { horse-mane varieties, as a class, are less productive; 4, that heavy tillering is not { desirable; 5, that many of the so-called < new kinds are old varieties with new 1 names; 6, that the very heavy oats dete- < riorate more rapidly than those of medium 1 weight; 7, that it will pay an ordinary ^ farmer to experiment on a small scale if 1 the work is done with care and intelli- 1 gcnce?not otherwise. i The Welcome, the Clydesdale, the < White English, the White Belgian, and ] the Race-horse oats have Droved with me to be practically the same. Four trials? i two by myself and two by others?would ? indicate that oats, if dry when thrashed, will suffer little or nothing from shrink- 1 age. Four bushels thrashed August 27, ? weigWa "i'L-A .^wls; the same grain 1 on November 11, a rainy day, turnecrYltt-V scalc at 163 pounds. Other weighings have indicated similar variations in keeping with the weather. Two trials were continued nearly one year. Thus far, of all kinds tested, the Badger Queen was the earliest, the Black Tartarian the latest, the Welcome the heaviest; the White Zealand the lightest; the American Turnip the tallest; the Vermont the shortest and the White Schoenen the most prolific. Working In the Garden. There is not only profit in making a garden, but pleasure. Many persons attach no value to the labor of garden work, especially when it affords them a , mode oi neaituv ouiuoor exercise; due whether a garden be only a very small } plot or a large area, the advantages de- t rived depend upon the skill, care, and labor of the person who has charge of it. It is true that, while those who cultivate j hundreds of acres of "truck" can pro- ] duce vegetables much more cheaply than 1 can those whose plots are too small to i permit of the use of improved imple- j ments, the gardener who grows his veg- . etables for home use secures a freshness J and quality that cannot be obtained with j vegetables that are purchased. There is ( quite a difference between the pulling of t a ripe tomato from the vine and placing it on the table, and the selection of one 1 from a basket that has been shipped over a distance of rail, and which may have . been taken from the vine two or three j days before. But there is also another advantage in j family gardening other than the freshness 1 and quality of the small fruits and vegetables grown, which is the choice of vuric- i ties. Two or three kinds of squash, sevnml nnoc no wnll oc rliffprnnt vnrir?tinc ^ Vi W.V, , of beets, beans, berries, and even melons, | if space will allow of tlieir growth, will . permit of catering to the preferences of every member of the family. "With the , selection of varieties comc proper carc and , judicious working with the hoe, and it , is in this manner that the younger members are taught their first lessons in practi- ( cal agriculture. It is said that the boy who works on a farm -where his duties ( call for milking the cows, plowing the fields and cultivating the crops, does not ( have that fondness for farm life that is ( peculiarvto the one who is given a small garden and early taught to take an inter- , est in it. , It is often the case that ladies are bene- ( fited by light work in the garden, especially if they are interested in observing the different stages of the growth of | plants, and when the farmer's wife, and the children also, become interested, the 1 cost of the labor may be really considered as nothing, while the saving of doctor's bills and the enjoyment of the garden lux: uries more than compensate for the care 1 bestowed. If every farmer would have a garden and take an interest in it, it would greatly add to the comfort and enjoyment of farming, as well as prove very profita ble.?Philadelphia Record. [ Conjuring Back the Buffalo. i "While the Cro~y Indians have taken | r up stock raising in Montana, with re- I luctance, they have never given up the | > idea that the buffalo would some day j > return to them. They breed and raise I cattle only as a last resort. The ap- ! pearance of a few buffalo sets them wild I ! with joy. i A regular practice of the tribe since the practical annihilation of the buffalo j has been to hold a great medicine dance annually for the purpose of bringing the i bison back.

WHY BURIED PEOPLE DO NOT RECOVER CONSCIOUSNESS. Freezing Frogs but Not Men?Dr. Hammond Explains the Mysteries of Syncope?Brains in Human Spines. "There is no cxcuse for any one being buried alive," said Dr. W. A. Hammond, to a New York Herald reporter. "No," he continued; "there is no excuse for it. The tests of death have been brought down to such a nice point that any competent physician would have no difficulty m accurately determining whether or not death had taken place." "Does decomposition always set in after death?" "Invariably, provided the body is not frozen. Of course you can freeze it and keep it for years before it will decompose, just as fish are kept frozen for market. The salmon that you eat now were caught last spring and have been kept frozen ever since. They arc just as Ejood." "Do you imagine that there is any foundation to the belief of many that people are sometimes buried alive?" "Oh, I have no doubt of it. I have tnown of its being done, but it is not by inv means of frequent occurrence?not 3early so frequent as many people imagine. The physician is entirely to blame when it does occur. The fact that bodies lave been found turned over in the :offins leads people to believe that they were buried alive. But that's not so. It is probably the work of the gases coming from the body. Pent up in a coffin they jecome very powerful, and it is almost singular that they do not move bodies iround more than they do." "Then you don't take any stock in the stories of men who come to life under :he ground, of their terrible struggles to jet free and their horrible death at last?" ' That's all bosh. Pope wrote of graveyards trembling with the struggles )f the buried alive. That's all bosh, too. When people are buried alive, as they certainly have been, they never wake up ;o know it. When in a trance state their vitality must be so weak that when they aegin to regain consciousness and to at:cmpt to breathe they die of suffocation mmediately, and never know that they lame to life again. Buried for dead, they practically are dead." "Is it possible to freeze a human being ip for any length of timejind then restore consciousness?" "No; not with a human being. It can ...

"BecauseK&TCAtter how warm or cold the atmosphere is, the temperat&s?, if a human being in good health is always ninety-eight degrees in life. Reduce that temperature to the freezing point ind it would kill the person. Now, the temperature of a frog is always the same is the surrounding air. If the mercury joes up to 110 degrees the frog's temperiture goes up there too, without doing liim any harm. In the same way it will 50 down to zero and the frog will not mind it. I have frozen a frog solid in a block of ice, and after some tune thawed him out, and he would jump all around the room. A frog is very hard to kill. Y'ou can take his heart out and he will still live. Cut his head off, tickle him on Dnc side with a 6traw, and he will draw up the leg on that side and push the straw iway." "Is that merely mechanical action!" "No, it's because a frog's brains are not all in his head; 6ome them are in his spinal column, and it is the latter that directs his legs. For that matter, [ believe, the brains of a human being ire not all in the head, either. A girl plays the piano and carries on a conversation at the same time. The brains in tier spine govern the action of her hands md the brains in her head allow her to talk." "Is it possible for men to go into trances that could be mistaken for death?" "Yes; it is quite certain that an apparent cessation of all the vital functions may take place without the entire loss of vitality which would leave the organism in the condition of a dead body to be speedily disinterred by the operation of chemical or physical agencies. The state of syncope is at times so complete that the heart's action cannot bo perceived nor any respiratory movements be observed, all power of movement being for the time abolished, and yet recovery has spontaneously taken place, which could scarcely be the case if all vital action had been suspended. The best authenticated case of this kind is that of Colonel Townsend, that occurred in the early part of this century, and of which the world has about lost sight. "It is described by Dr. George Cheyne, who was an eye witness. He says that the Colonel possessed the remarkable faculty of throwing himself in a trance at pleasure. The heart ceased apparently to throb at his bidding; respiration seemed at an end. His whole frame assumed the icy chill ana rigidity of death,while his ieatures became colorless and ghastly and his eyes fixed and glazed. Even his mind ceased to manifest itself, for during the trance it was willingly as devoid of consciousness as his body of animation. A polished mirror held before his mouth was not in the least dimmed. The physicians were about leaving him for dead, when there were signs of returning animation. He came back slowly to perfect life again after being in the trance state for half an hour. "Among the Indian fakirs this similating of death is by no means of rare occurrence. There was one case reported by the English officers in which a fakii was buried in an underground cell for six weeks, and a strict guard kept meanwhile. Twice during the interment the body was dug up and had been found in the same position as when first buried. After six weeks the fakir was brought back to consciousness." A Regular Jewel of a Honse.

Is th s couniry unconsciously undergoing a wonderful change, is the change to take pla-o before we arc aware of the fact, and when it has taken place will we wonder why we did not see it before it was too late? Those that see the changes early avail themselves early, and thereby receive benefit. The shrewd iron iran sees the iron interest transferred from Pittsburg and Pennsylvania to Birmingham, Alabama, and in his far-sightedness iees the furnaces in I'enn:?yl ania torn down and deserted for this new and prolific field. It is claimed by the i roil men of Alabama that the low price at which iron can be produced there will revolutionize the iron intei ests of the world. We have seen the grain-growing centres ol! this country shifted to the West. We bavei seen the pork-packing industry flit from Cincinnati to Chicago, and from thonce to Kan as City and Omaha. Southern cotton mills undersell New England and American markets, and challenge the world. We have seen nud are seeing all this take place before our eyes, and know that other changes are taking place equally as prominent, and we wonder as we behold them. Ten years ago the insurance companies only required on analysis of the fluids when they were taking insurance for very large amounts. To-day no first-class company will insure any amount unless they have a rigid analysis of the fluids passed, and if any traces of ceitain disorders are apparent, the application is i ejected. In their reports they show that the death of sixty of every 100 i eople in this country, is due either directly or indirectly to such disorders. The Brompton Hospital for Consumptives, London, England, reports that sixty of every 100 victims of consumption also have serious disorders of the kidneys. Among scientists for the treatment of this dread malady the question is being dis! cusced: j "Is not this disorder the real cause of consumption:" I Ten years ago the microscope was some1 thing seldom found in a physician's ofllce; now every phvsician of standing has one and j seldom visits his patients without calling for i a sampio or liuias ior examination. Why is all thisf Is it possible that we | of the present generation are to die of diseases caused! by kidney disorders? or shall we master the cause by Warner's safe cure, the only recognized specific, and thus remove the effects? It is established beyond a doubt that a very larg:e percentage of deaths in this country is traceable to diseased kidneys. For years the proprietors of Warner's safe cure have been insisting that there is no sound health when the kidneys are diseased, and they enthusiastically press their specific for this terrible disorder upon public attention. We are continually hearing its praises sounded. This means wonders I Cannot the proprietors of this great remedy, who have l een warning us of the danger, tell us how to avoid a disease that at first is so unimportant, and is so fatal in its termination? Are we ;x> hope against hope, and wait without our reward? The most significant of all changes, however, that we of to-day can note is this radical change of view to which the public has been educated: It was formerly thought that the kidneys were of very small importance; to-day, we believe, it ;is generally admitted that there can be no such thing as sound health in any organ if they are in the least degree deranged. A Second-Hand Clothes Market. As a matter of fact, the Temple .M/irket is no longer to-day what it was originally intendea says aParislctteir to the San Fraucisco Chfon'ifc. It is not even what it was a few years ago? that is to say, a place for the sale of old clothes only.

Everything was repaired and cleaned, so ' r 1 x a; ti. ? : .Jl. i. ~ milt lor a snort, lime ii, uuyut icacmuic, after a fashion, what it had been -when new, and it found purchasers among those who wished to appear dressed beyond their means;- It was at the Temple thnt a workman who had but one shirt could by paying ten cents exchange it on Su.aday morning for a clean one. It was a place where a man who had only twenty francs to spend on his clothing could find a coat for twelve francs, a pair of trousers for two francs, shoes for two francs, and with the three francs remaining supply himself with a hat, shirt and a cheap cigar. Many a hard-working mother with three or four children to support with clothes and shoes, and whose day?s labor would only bring in four francs, would save up sou by sou until she had enough to buy what they needed on the Carreau. Up there the venders were for the most part as poor as their customers, and prices were within the reach of the slenderest purses. Coats ranged from one to three francs, and shoes from four to ten sous. All sorts of things were in those day sold on the Carreau du Temple. Shoes so old that the soles and uppers nail almost parted company, coats in the last stages of threadbareness, hats from which all the nap had disappeared, corsets with every whalebone broken, soiled gloves ripped in the fingers and buttonless, ribbons and feathers, brass watches, imitation jevrelry, old pots and pans, in short a little of everything, and all was spread out on the floor in rows with paths left between them for customers to pass through and inspect the stock. But now nearly everything at the Temple is new, and if you want to find second-hand article i you must go elsewhere, to one of the many shops in the small streets of the neighborhood, which make a specialty of that line of business. Down stairs, with hardly an exception, none of the boutiques contain anything but new goods,for the most part of the cheaper sort, and although the marchande will invariably begin by asking three or four times what they are worth, she does this with the expectation that the customer will beat her down to a price somewhere. in the near neighborhood of its real value.

In some parts of Sussex, England, there is a superstition that if you put on your right stocking, right shoe, and right trouser-leg before the left you will never have toothache. In parts of England there is a custom of eallincr Ihc toothache the "love pain," j for which the sufferer is not entitled to ' any commisseration.

For more than two years I was a great sufferer with rheumatism, being scarcely free from pain during the time. I found no relief until I procured Dr. Pardee's remedy, and it cured me completely. It is now two years since I discontinued its use and I have had no symptoms of the disease since. I know from my own and from the experience of many others also that it will cure any case of rheumatism or neuralgia. I am, very truly yours, MRS. H. 8. BONESTEELE. Syracuse, N. Y. Gxnts:?i have been troubled with Rheumatism for three years, at times very badly afflicted; was in that condition about two weeks ago, when I got a bottle of Dr. Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy, and in three days' time was greatly relieved, and have not been troubled with it since I finished this bottle. I feel like recommending it in the highest terms, as I believe it will do all that is claimed for it Yours truly, JOHN BLODOETT, 62 Madison St. Lockport, N. Y. Gxntlemsn:?I think the medicine pre j 1 t> j pamnanv fa 1ry puiou UJ vuv x q1 uto iucuiv/iug vviu|miuj w *** fact the best rheumatic medicine now on the market; its equal is not known. My boy only tix years old was confined to his bed with rheumatism; I got a bottle of the medicine and in a few days he was out of bed and playing around the house. I can cheerfully recommend this medicine to all rheumatic sufferers. J. K. PERRY, Shoe Dealer. Ask your druggist for Dr. Pardee's Remedy and take no other. Price, $1 per bottle; tix bottles, $5.
