MAINTAINING FKHTILITY OP TUP, PAKM.
In an nddresss before one of tho Now
York Farmers'Institutes Secretary Woodward
had tho following to sny on maintaining
fertility of the soil:
- ' - wj|| not nave land. It puts
Off tho calamity of exhaustion. It sim}>ly
equalizes the ratio of exhaustion. It
s said 'tillago is manure.' Tillage does
not add any manure. It works it out
faster. Weeds are better than bare laud.
Bummer-fallowing is a very expensive
process. I had rather grow weeds and
plow tnem unuer. It would bo belter
for tho land. Hiiro land loses its ammonia.
How rye in Iho corn to conserve
the fertility. Nuked earth is a losing
earth, llow shall wo make fertility!
Wo can do it, by tho purchase of commercial
fertilisers; hut this system iH too
costly, uulcss for special crops. Another
way is by means of stable manure. 'I
havo,' Mr. Woodward said, 'banished
the word barnyard from my vocabulary.
A barnyard is a nuisance. My stable
manure paid mo last, winter, by feeding
tock, over $1 a load profit over nud
above all it cost. I buy cottonseed and
linseed meal, middlings and bran, nud
my manuro comes from these foods fed
to animals. Hy this system tho farm is

The grower of such perishable articles
?s berries is subject to a nervous strain
while the season last, and should, in the
nature of things, be better remunera ted
than the stolid laborer or the producer
of nonpcrishable products. Some fruit
growers are so happily situated that they
can employ women as pickers, and then
there is no need of foreman or tickets,
as each picker can keep her own accounts,
and pick in separate crates, subiect
to inspection at noon ot night.
1 he liouhle wtiti *.uthbasw t* generally
a lack of mature judgment, but some are
tricky and dishonest. Most every extensive
fruit grower is subject to strikes
when the picking gets poor, and I have
found it best to have a contract with
their parents, subject to penalty if
broken. This is enforced by withhold
ing pay until the close of the season,
with forfeiture of a portion if contract
is broken.
I once visited n large berry growing
firm, near Philadelphia, who had erected
a cheap two-story barrack of twelve
rooms, where were housed their sixty
pickers. They cooked for themselves
on an old stove in the open air, and the
escape from the hot dty to tfca open

A Doctor's "Bore Bell."
A physician who was confidential told

And what may a 'hore bell' be!"
asked his visitor.
"A 'bote bull,* " said thf Doctor, "is

near the chair where a physician is usually |
seated at the time he receives his patients
When 1 feel that I have given tho last
comer enough of my time I quietly put
my foot 011 the secret spot in the floor,
and before any one can say 'Jack lfobinson'
my man has appeared and announced
that 1 have a telegram, or that some ono

naturally bows herself out (you sec
it is generally a woman), and by means

Wlint Stockinette Cloth Is.
Strictly speaking, stockinette is not a 1
cloth, for it is not a woven fabric, but u
knitted texture. "By a process of knit- 1
ting, mid not by weaving tbo individual
threads of which a stockinette fabric is
composed are interlaced into one regular
texture. The work is performed iu n 1
\ kind of a frame or loom, in which the
yarns arc arranged in parallel order, at '
uniform distances apart, as in ordinajy ' '
weaving. Of course, the machino is 1
automatic in its movement nnd capable
of producing a great length of cloth in
a very short time. The fabric thus '
formed is ornamented with a fine ribbed
pattern, similar in character to that seen
in common knit good. This article gene- J
rally bundles soft, full and clastic, but '
lacks those valuable characteristics of '
strength and limine** of texture or ^
make, which obtain a woven cloth prop- '
er." '
The difference between the structuro 1
of this fabric ami that resulting from I
weaving warp and weft yarns together j
may bo illustrated as follows: Take a '
sample of stockinette CIotTT artd rry lo
withdjaw a thread, and what is the roHult?
The whole construction is unrav- 1
clod. Next sulnnit a loom product to a 1
similar examination and it will be touud '
that if longitudinal or warp threads are
removed tin: transverse or weft threads !
will remain, while, on the. other hand, if '
the latter are withdrawn the warp threads '
will, although the texture may be partly
destroyed, still remain, to a certain extent,
uinlisturb' il. Again, the manner in t
whic h a knitted fabric is constructed | 1
limits the designer to one class of wcitvo '
effects?these being of a stockinette char- "
acter?whereas tne principles of weaving 1
are of such a deseiiplion as to admit of I
unlimited change oi variation iu desigu. '

Frank Onnley, an early settler of Cheyenne,
Wyo., says ndispatch to the St. Ijouis I
(Jlobe-Democrat, who owns considerable I
property near Bonanza, in tlio Big Horn
nasin. left Buffalo, a supply point. 100 miles
away, with merchandise for himself and
neighbors. The load included a five gallon
cask of whisky, distilled from turpentine
and brass filings. He drank heavily of tho
stuff. Other freighters were with t tanley on
leaving Buffalo, but he pulled on ahead, and
by punishing his horses made first camp ten
miles ahead of tho rest. Ho continued to
punish the liquor, becoming helplessly druuk.
He fell into his fire aud one leg was roasted
in a horrible manner. It being a bitter cold
uigbt, the other was badly frozen.
tianley was in a fearful plight when over
taken tho next morning. He was barely
alive, but entirely unconscious, nud in snite I
oi racking pains an<l a realization of his
condition, ho determined that ho would live,
and liad himself carried to the cabin of an
acquaintance on a rrM- flftoon miles otT tho
road. Hero the roaste l leg was hackod oil
with butcher knives and n common saw, and
tho frosbitten member treated Ganley tuado
no complaint while being manipulated by
tho volunteer surgeons, but cursed his folly,
and vowed he would never touch liquor
again. Ho said ho was bonding over the tire
and suddonly became dizzy and fell He
lived several hours after the operation, and
to the last moment declared lie would survive.
Ho was a man of powerful physique,
and firmly tielieved ho could stand everything.
As an employe of t he Union Pacific
he had boon hurt in wrecks, mid during bis
residence in tho Mig Horn basin he had
sought bears, Indians and desperadoes. Ganloy
was a Penns.vI?nnian by birtb, and nbout
fltty years old, with no family. He owned
an oil claim and mineral prospects and son;?
took. Tho body was taken on to Honauza.
MEDICAL USE OK ALCOHOL..
nro now on record as a^umst the use* or alcohoi
for the treatment of diseases. The Popular
Science Monthly reprints from tho London
Lancet a valuable paper read before tho
./Esculapian Medical Soeioty of England on
"The Use of Alcohol in Medicine," by A. G.
Hartley, M. 1)., M. R. C. S. The writer's
opinion is against too use of stimulants, and
a long list of cases nro recited to snt????ntt
ato bis argument. As surgeon in a battery
of artillery in the Punjab, tho writer had a
number of cases of delirium tremens in his
.lands, all of which were successfully treated
without the use of stimulants. Of ot her casos
the writer says: "There were many casos of
ncuto chest disease in tho cold weather. On
admission to hospital, they had plainly ono
thing in common with those suffering from
alcohol; they wore exhausted from sheer
want of food. It was tho first and main
point of my treatment that this should bo
met by prompt feoding, most generally by
repeated cupfuls of arrowroot, and milk, f
gave nitre or other neutral alkaline salt, and
morphine for a hacking cough. The tongue I
Iwxirfiii to clean nt. once nnrl t in l/imii?r?tiirn
to fail, and the haggard and worn patient
got refreshing sle-p and began to convalesce.
in fact, the case ran parallel with
the former ailments I have mentioned, and I
soon ceased to employ with theiu any form
of alcohol.
A SUGGESTION.
Windsor, Canada, has a beautiful drinking
fouutain, flowing for man nnd beast, which
was erected by the W. T. U. in the fiftieth \
yenr of Queen Victoria's reign. It was their
contribution to the jubilee. It was suggested
at the late National Convention that it would
make a jubilee in the United States if every
local union should undertnko to provide sucn
a comfort for its own town.
