Spot People Should Carefulli Guard From Onslaughts of the Inseo ?Dangerof Poisoning Kspeclally Grea in Huuiid Weather?Petroleum Kills Deaths from mosquito bites liav( been reported as fur back as 1889. Ii March of that year John J. Collins, ai insane patient, escaped from the asy lum at Snake H^ll, N. J., and wanderec for several days in the Hackensact Meadows. When found he had beei terribly bitten by mosquitoes, and h< died in spite of medical care. Charles Mingard, of Hoboken, X. J., died fron a similar cause in September, 1889. J. more recent case was that of Car Heaad, of St. Louis, who died in Sep tember last from the effects of a singl< bite. Cases less serious than these ar< reported every day, and there are un numbered instances in which tempor ary disfigurement, accompanied bj great pain, has been caused by tht bite of this insect. This record, fragmentary as it is, aonvicts the mosquito of being t menace to life and health. Physicians bo regard it. Dr. Frank E. Miller, of "West Thirtv-seventh street, said: "The mosquito undoubtedly is capable of inflicting a fatal wound. The insect is bred and fostered ir decayed matter, and it i3 the transfei of the germs of this fetid substance tc the blood of the victim that causes the complications. The poison is injectec into the blood and then circulated throughout the system. "The most fatal spot to be attacked Is just behind the ear. A person bitten on one of the veins there by a mosquito inoculated with the poisoi] of putrid matter would be in imminenl nf /I fnr + ll Q nAlQATl \unil 1 (1 uaug^i Vi UVMIU) 1V& luv |/V*WV41 ?T V...V, reach the heart and brain within a few minutes. The punctnre of a large veil] also would be highly dangerous. "The constitution of the victim has much to do with the effect of the bite. A person whose blood was thin or diseased would be innoh more liable tc Berious injury than one who was strong and healthy. A patient came to me recently within an hour after he had been bitten, yet already his arm was swollen to almost thrice its natural eize. He had been bitten over a large bloodvessel. "The extraordinary danger from mosquito bites just now is due to the humidity of the season, which has produced large quantities of decayed matter, upon which the insects thrive, ana trom which tney aerive me iaiai poison." An interesting, though not a comforting, fact concerning the mosquito is that it can communicate the disease known as anthrax, believed to be identical with the plague of olden times. James T. Whittaker, in the American Text Book of Medicine, is authority for this statement. Anthrax is the direct result of iuoculation from diseased animal matter. The symptoms will be recognized by those who have suffered from mosquito bites: "The period of inoculation varies from one to several days. The symptoms may show themselves witli in an hour of inoculation; they may be delayed as late as four days. A alight itching, prickling sensation is first perceived at the site of inoculation. Very soon there appears a central vesicle, the rupture of which discharges bloody contents, to be converted into a dark, red-brown or black crust, the anthrax." Innumerable remedies have been put forth for relief from t ie bite of the mosquito. The application of oil of pennyroyal is recommended by many physicians as the most efli cacious. The use of alkalies, such as liquid ammonia nr n ontntinn hirarWinnlB nf findn or of potash, is also of benefit. Lin1 soaked in chloroform and laid on the bite gives great rolief, and ipecacuanha applied externally is saitl to be beneficial. When serious results are threatened the patient should be stimulated with ammonia or ether, to counteract the symptoms of syncopt or coma. To rid a district of a plague of mosquitoes the liberal use of crude petroleum has been recommended. An experiment made at Staten Island seemed to show the efficacy of the scheme. The company controlling Midland Beach, a summer resort, tool; extraordinary measures to combat a plague of mosquitoes.

Tho Interesting Way the Wisconsin Marshes Are Managed. k Wisconsin cranberry growing-will in time become as systematic as that oi New Jersey or Cape Coil. The owners f of large estates are constructing ' pumps, wind mills, drains aud reser' voirs in such numbers that the watei will soon be under their absolute con; trol. "Water, properly controlled, is 1 the great essential for cranberry grow1 ing. Too much of it is just as injuri" ous to the plants as too little. 1 An ideal bog, according to the Wis c consin grower's ideas, is one where 1 the moisture is held in the top soil 5 like a sponge. As you look at the ' bogs no water is visible to the eye; 1 but if you put your foot down, the bog L will yield to the pressure, and the 1 foot-prints will immediately fill with " water. Sometimes the foot sinks down * into the soft bog two feet, and the strauger becomes frightened at the 5 soft, sucking sound that may indicate quicksand or some other treacherous earthy compound. In the picking 7 season it is not unusual to see the men J and women walking over the marshes up to their waists in water and mire, > and when the fields are not flooded the i nickers crawl alone on their knees in t ? w 5 the soft, spongy, moist bog. The army i of pickers that descend upon the cranberry bogs of Wisconsin in the fall is ' composed chiefly of Poles, Indians and French half-breeds.' The Indians are 1 considered the best pickers. They never strike, and always accept the ? prices offered by the overseers. As a ! rule, the pickers earn about a dollar ' per day and their board. The In' dians bring their lodges and tepees with them, and strike camp upon the I fields. There is one peculiarity about the 1 Indian pickers that sometimes proves 1 very costly to the growers. They will ' not begin work until 9.30 a. m., and ' they promptly knock off at 4 in the afternoon. No amount of persuasion 1 or threatening can make them vary tins rule. 11 a killing irost tnreatens 1 to come through the night, the owners of the estates curse the Indians and scurry around to hire more white pick' era. Tbey know from experience that 1 it is waste of time to try to get the In1 dians to work extra hours. They 1 would see the whole field frozen stiff first. The Poles at such times realize their advantage, and they demand ex1 tra wages for overwork, which sometimes proves almost ruinous to the owners. 1 A Wisconsin frost comes up in a hurry. The Indians are good weather prophets, and they serve a useful purpose in telling the owners when to prepare for it. When word issues from the lodge of the chief of the Indians that a frost is approaching, the cran J UCI1J UUjjO QIC iUlLUCVUUir&iJ uvuv?vv%} J and extra help is employed. If the water covers all of the berries in time, no damage will happen; but those that are left exposed will be ruined. The white pickers at such times labor in the fields with the water up to their waists, trying to save as many of the berries as possible.?New York Post. Mowing on the Ice. While the Muskego lake bed has been popularly supposed to have been worthless to the farmers owning land on the lake shore, it developed in the circuit court this morning,,in the fight over the possession of the lands, that the farmers have been making a neat revenue from the lake every winter by harvesting hay on the ice. The industry appears to be peculiar to Muskego, but it is one that might be followed with profit by farmers who have riparian rights, or think they have, on other Doggy Wisconsin iaK.es. Both before and after the first and second drainage of the lakes there was a heavy growth of marsh grass > which the farmers were unable to > reach in the ordinary harvest period ; of the year. When the lake froze up, i however, before the lake was deL stroyed, James Malia, a farmer who 1 resides on the shore of what was once Muskego Lake, says he would go out I on the ice and proceed to cut the t grass, now thoroughly dried and > cured, just as though they were operating in an ordinary hay field. The yield would be brought into Milwau' kee and sold to the brewing companies for use in packing beer in cars for 1 shipment. Mr. Malia said that he has > also followed the practice since the drainage, as the ground was wet and boggy, so that the grass fields could not be reached until the muck was frozen intra.?iuinvauisee xjvemug Wisconsin. lilt by a Timber From n Bnlloon.

Professor King, of the Wisconsin j Experiment Station, says: "Where corn and pqj^toesare to be I crown on heaw lands it will be worth while to try the effect of sowing some crop in the fall, like winter rye, which can be allowed to grow to a considerable height the succeeding spring and then be plowed under to leave the soil more open and warmer. The crop of green manure on naturally too wet lands has the double advantage of first draining the ground by taking from it that which it needs for its growth, and this is at the rate of more than 300 tons of water for each and every ton of dry matter produced on the land, and second, of adding fertility to the soil, while it leaves it in beti ter tilth. The danger in using this method lies in letting the green manure crop grow too long, especially should the early part of the season be dry, when it has a tendency to leave the upper soil too dry for the second crop to ^et a good start.

Above the floor at one end, is a roosting room, access to which is had by letting down a door in front, for clearing out the droppings and for gathering the eggs.

If hens are kept hard at work | in such a pen they will stand a pretty j low temperature, for they will be ' -warmlv housed at nicrht when warmth is most needed. Large doors, with some glass, can be arranged for the front, to be closed on the coldest, stormiest weather if desired, but in many parts of the country the arrangement shown will prove very serviceable.?American Agriculturist. General Munagemcnt o! Farm Teams. At a recent meeting of the Oxford (Ohio) Farmers' Club the horse industry was one of the subjects considered, and under the subdivision, General Management of Farm Teams, the following sensible and practical thoughts were expressed: Farmers do not make out of their young horses what they might. The young things first should be fed well enough to make a good : growth. A starved colt seldom makes i a good looker. After liberal feeding comes kind handling, and this means much, as the value of a horse depends largely on his quality and kindliness in work. By gentle, early handling there are very few well-bred horses that will not become honest, pleasant workers. j A tired, over-worked driver lacks the patience and enthusiasm necessary to get the best out of a young horse, i Both horse and driver get dull aud ugly when overworked. The colt or I voung horse oaght not to be worn j down at the start. He gets dull and j slouchy in his movement, and never j ajjpears well. It pays to take time and have patience and kindness with the youngsters. The driver needs first to control j himself if he would train his team sue- j | ce^sfully. Teach them to walk ! promptly and fast; to stop promptly at I the word, before teaching to trot. The I good fast walk is the most profitable 1 ZL 1' t ,1 Ci. 1. . ; guii iur iiii in, uiun, ruuu, cuuuu ur saddle horses. Traiu the colts rather than break them. Care in fitting harness to suit the horse and the work saves him many a blemish and pain. Sore shoul' ders and sore necks and palled and ' chafed sides are not excusable, but j damaging. Blemishes come easily ; enongli with colts and youngsters at. play, but harness marks are inexcusable. If hired men are to use the team, it is important to put the right man in charge of the right team. This is ! sometimes hard to ?lo. You may have i to sell the horse or discharge the man. ! If the hired man is at war with a horse, one or the other must go. As i to time of feeding and watering, it was approved that it is better to water first, and this for physiological reaI sons. Watering is as important as j feeding?both should be regular as to time and quantity. In winter farmers feed too much hay. A smaller portion j of hay aud fodder, with loss corn, more bran, oats and roots, will cost no more and keep the horses and colts in better condition. A variety of food is I pleasing and profitable.

There was a diil'er| ence of opinion about turning work horses out to grass at night. All agree ilie horse prefers it. iifilli; >*ew Mode of BagglDg Grapes. R. H. Beeves, Buncombe County, North Carolina, has for several years practiced successfully a new method of bagging grapes as shown in the accompanying sketch. The bag is made of the cheapest kind of white cotton cloth of two sizes, to hold grapes having small or large clusters. Two clusters are put in each bag, which is pulled up over the vine, then turned over and pinned, as shown. Birds # L GKOWING GRAPES IN BAGS. cannot pick through such bags; water will not stand in them, nor can wind or driving rain beat them to pieces, as is the case of paper bags. A hundred cloth bags can be "run up" on a sewing machine in half an hour, and they will then last for years. There are a few varieties of grapes that do not need bagging, and a few that will not bear this confinement, but most of the grapes now grown can only be raised in perfection by some protection of this sort.?New England Homestead. Supplementing the Pasture. This is a very important matter with the dairyman, as on it in considerable measure will depend his success in the business. Milk is the basis upon which he works, -whether he makes it into butter or cheese himself, or otherwise disposes of it. iJU'st there should be quantity then quality, and he who can combine both to a reasonable extent, will be the moat successful. Then there 6houl(l be a class of cows that will properly respond tc rational treatment, that can and should be fed and cared for to the best paying extent. It will not be safe to go beyond this point and comparatively few will do it. Where summer dairying is practiced there should be abundant provision for supplying the cows with supplementary feed when the grass in the pastures is not sufficient for the purpose. In most cases this will be necessary, and the time for commencing to feed should not be deferred until there is already a considerable decrease in the nf millr ? nvo 4-li'ia ia ui xi-uiixy nuoio IU1J 10 uuv case it will be found difficult regaining what has been lost. If the crops calculated for this purpose are not in condition to feed as soon as wanted, then something else should be substituted for the time. Certain kinds of grain feeds, such as oats, bran and gluten, will answer a good purpose; indeed, some of the best dairymen find it profitable to feed a small amount of grain all through the summer season, not only when the grass is good, but along with the soiling crops, finding this adds to the value of the ration as is shown by the results at the pail. The kinds of forage crops to use for this purpose will depend on the season and location, as they may not be the same in all parts of the country. Clover?first or second crop?is one of the best that can be used as long as it lasts, and where this most useful plant thrives in some of its varieties, it should be largely grown for this purpose and for hay. Like corn, it is adapted to a large part of the United States. Eye, oats, or peas and oats, can be brought into use before corn is in condition to feed. There are kinds enough from which to select if the iarmer is careiui to grow tnem ior i-ne purpose. Corn, more tlian any other crop, is raised for soiling, and with proper attention can be made to last a long time in feeding, from using different varieties of seed or planting at intervals. Patting it in the silo for summer feeding, before it can be grown for the purpose, is getting to be more practiced as its value becomes more fully ascertained. At the West and South there may be no other crops than those mentioned that can be successfully used for supplementary feeding. Herf also the grain feeds are largely produced, and if tbey can be profitably shipped East to feed to stock, then certainly it would seem mere snouiu i be a good market for tliem at home. There, along with the rich grasses ! peculiar to this region, nnd abundant J forage orops ought, to give the best results in milk, butter and cheese, in Inrge amounts and of finest quality, as is not being attained in the growth and fattenir.g of animals. In following out some of these j methods there should be correspond- | ingly good results in stimulating aud sustaining to a profitable extent the j milk product from the dairy through : the season, thus placing the business ! on a much more satisfactory basis than j is the case where little or no attention is paid :o this kind of work. Wheie winter dairying is followed and proper provision has been made for the purpose, there should not be j very much variation in yield of milk, j not so much as during the summer sea- | son unless the conditions are equally favorable. .

Tenderness is Not Effeminacy. When we look at the quality of tenderness we see at once that it is not effeminacy. If it were then we, who are men all over and men all through, every inch of us and every ounce of us, would be barred out by our pronounced masculinity. The world loves to say that religion is for women and children, and the ministry is for men who are effeminate in quality, unequal to the rough and tumble of the world, whioh means, in the plain, not good enough for anything except to be clergymen. And when it sees one in ttfe ministry whose intellect commands respect, whose hair is short, whose muscle is big, whose voice is resonant, and whose garb is not a label of his calling, he is apt to say, in California phrase: "He ought to be in politics; I he has no business to be hoeing small potatoes in the garden of the Lord." There are men whose phrenology, i physiognomy and physiology mark j them as gentlemen and retiring. They have a strong, sweet dash of the fem- { inine. Some of them get into the J ministry. There they are beloved, and lead quiet, nappy, useful lives, I eometimes going to the front. But inability to battle with the world keeps many such from reaching the front ranks. For every prominent pastor knows that the lawyer or the merchant lias no severer tussle with men than the front-rank minister. It is, then, when men of strength and capacity tichool themselves to a tenderness that is not theirs by nature that the quality shines out.?At Home and Abroad. Ynkon and Klondike Gold Fields.
