1^/ FARM, AXI) GARDEN. Mind in Farming. The idea has generally prevailed in J past, and possibly more by farmers ujan otliers, that for the business of farming but little intellectual training! vras necessary. A willingness to work on in the old routine, that had been transmitted from the practices of the past, was all that could be safely relied on for success. This nartow view, born and kept alive by ignorance only, is a mistaken fallacy of the past, fa-t dying out, rather than the sentiment of intelligent present thought. 1 The agriculture ofto-day is not based on manual labor alone. The education of the mental faculties, as well as the training of the hand to work skillfully, ?s recognized as an essential in fitting for the life-work of the farm. Upon these, intelligence and labor combined, rest, the hope of progress in agriculture. And yet it may be questioned if farmers fully appreciate the value to their chil- , drcn of a home-training and education ! in the work and in the business of the | farm. Each year there go out from the j farms young men and women to assume 1 Ll " ? - * IworK c?i managing iarms ior tncra- j es.

Hints to Butter Makers. ^ large quantity of early-made dairy :ter has poor keeping qualities and is ccd off rapidly by commission mermts and d? alcrs as received in city rkets. Much of this butter is poor in iracter and flavor, oilv, smoky and ! lly made. During early spring, cspe- ' lly at the time of the shedding of i hair, cows arc naturally weak and somewhat out of condition. At this time [especially they need good nourishing food, the best of hay and Indian meal. ! Above all things laxative food should be avoided at this period, increasing as : it must the weak condition of the ani mal. At no time in the year do cows [ need greater care or better food than ' in the spring months. Poor, coarse fod- \ dcr, if it must be used in feeding milch ; I cows, should be fed out when the appc- ] titc is the sharpest, in the cold, bracing ! and invigorating weather of the winter. ! The best butter, with an aroma liki a nose-pray of flowers and a flavor satisfy- 1 ing the most fastidious taste, can never ! be made from the milk of any animal 1 that is not well fed. No gilt-edge butter retails in this market which is not produced where grain is added to the daily ration of the cow. A boiler cannot make steam without an abundance of fuel; neither can a cow yield milk rich in butter product without an abundant sup- ! ply of nutritious food. Carclcssne-s and ] lack of proper facilities stand for much : o^h^jiferior butter. Many a tub of S^^Sw^fc^vithasmoky taste shows S^^^^^Hp^WirTTeared, during cold kitchen stove, where the HBKud. the misplaced cover or ^Bpper, the scorched milk carelessly gHlled on the stove, have permitted the jBorption of the smoky flavor by the reducing its market value by jMga^kfnts per pound. anc^ general use of bogus ttBgl^^^p'unds has widened the gap r*""* "* 6tuu,uc gut-cvigv JBaMand the inferior products of some Hg|^knan;i'_red diary.

Transplanting is held by Mr. L. G. Erown, of Lyndeboro', X. H., not to be detrimental to plants, and he declares that practical experience upholds him. He cannot prove, as some assert, that transplanting dwarfs a plant, and finally submits the question: "Where transplanting gives double the amount of roots, will not the growth and fruit correspond? Then how is the plant injured ?" It is not at all certain that the advice to select corn for seed grown from stalks bearing two cars is good. It is doubtful whether we can get stalks strong enough to produce more than one large car each, and if this were done the yield ! of com so grown would be phenomeually large. In trying for two ears from a stalk, we may only-get two of such small size that the yield of grain would be less and the labor of husking greater. Popcorn and sweet corn may undoubtedly be grown with profit on stalks containing two or more cars. Most farmers draw what manure they have on their poorest land, thinking the best rich enough to be profitably cropped without it. The result is a fairly good crop from a large acreage, but with low prices, little if any more than the necessary expense of growing it. The reform here needed is getting the poorest land in grass where it will be less expense, and will be, however slowly, growing more fertile. Then apply what manure can be got on the best land, grow large crops and use the profits on those in improving the remainder of the farm. In a lecture to English dairymen, Professor Long referred to a new outlet for the utilization of skim milk which may create a large and constant demand for it. This is using it instead of water in the manufacture of bread. Experiments have shown that a four-pound loaf made in this way w ould require little more than a pint of milk; most of this is evaporated in the process of baking, but it leaves in the loaf at least two and a half ounces of the flesh-forming nutriment which the milk contains; and bakers admit that it adds to the tastiness of the bread, enchancing the value, so that the public would probably appreciate the improvement. If you do not want lumps to form in the cows' teats they must be milked out clean and thoroughly squeezed to dislodge every particle of casein or butter fat which may have adhered together, [f left in the udder teats it will be likely to cause a callous to form around it and stop up the passage to the teat. Careless drying up of cows is the chief cause of lumps and stoppages in the milk ducts. Sometimes a bruise or inflammation will start a lump, and as it irritates the lining membrane a sore is started and the membrane is thickened and grows around it ind so forms a callous bunch. There is no cure. If rubbing the udder and the insertion of a small tube will not remove the obstruction in a cow's teat nothing will, that we know of. Fresli Air for City Children. A few years ago, a lady, who owns a large farm near one of our great cities in which there is an asylum for the deaf md dumb, happened to pass the gate 1 ?ne summer afternoon with a basket of ' fern, pitcher plant and mosses in her jand. A class of boys who had just 1 eturned from their daily march through ' ihe streets, were entering, and seeing :he' homely little blossoms, crowded ' ibout her, talking together with waving fi-nds and excited fingers. "It is so long since they have seen anything from the"country," apologized the ! teacher. "Do they never go out of the city?" isked the ladv, as she distributed her 1 treasures. "No; they are here for five years. They go out, as now, to walk every day. They 1 have a gymnasium for exercise. But ] there is, of course, no money for country : excursions." The lady went home, and consulted hei neighbors. They baked and boiled, ' roasted chickens, made sandwiches. ' Their husbands contributed a little ' money. The next week the deaf and dumb ' pupils marched to one of the stations. : llow they talked! With eyes, hands, 1 arms, laughing faces, dancing feet, ! everything but voices. Never were so 1 many happy peop'e tingling with life ' from head to foot crowded in one car. ' Never did the country give such rap- 1 turous welcome to guests before. Tho ! visit has been repeated every year since 1 then. 1 A gentleman, a member of the Phila- ' delphia City Council, happened once to ' pass down an alley carrying a chestnut in 1 its burr. The street waifs crowded about 1 him, but not one of them knew what it 1 was." "Off a tree?" said one. "I thought J nuts came in bar'ls." "And in the park of Philadelphia," 1 reflected the Councilman, "there are thou- 1 sands of nut-trees untouched!" He broke into the financial debates of 1 Council at the next meeting with the 1 astounding proposition that a sum be set 1 is'de each yea*- for Xuttingday; that the 1 children of the public schools on that ' Jay be transported to the park, where 1 they should bag all the nuts they could \ gather.

The road is so rough, in fact, ( that the mail is carried on foot, and the carrier is Clark North, who is totally , blind. lie has carried the United States mail over almost impassable C'atskill routes for thirty years, since he was a j boy, and has never seen any of the wild . region through which he has traveled. ilis former route was in the wilderness region between Shokan and Sampsonville, at that time an almost unknown country, frequented ouly by hunters and fishermen, yet the sightless carrier made his triiis throe time; a. wcp.lf with the regularity of clockwork. He travels his present circuit of forty-two miles three times a week, and has never missed a day either in winter or summer. Snow drifts nor floods seem to be any barrier to him.

LIFE AMONG THE MIGRATORY ARABS AND BEDOUINS. rconlc Who Do Not Know What a Jlomc Is?An Exhibition by Snake Charmers. In Tunis, North Africa, there are tens of thousands of poor Arab3 and Bedouins, who have no homes or abiding places, says a writer in the Boston H?r- J aid. Thc-y arc migratory in their habits, and arc constantly changing about from place to place, like the sparrows of blackbirds. They do not know what the word , home signifies. They come and go; they : are here to-day and somwhere else tomorrow. The climate is warm and de- , liglitful, and they seek no shelter to protect them from the night dews. In the late hours of the night, wherever sleep overtakes them, they lie down in the market places, or by the sides of streets or highways, and in deep slumber await the rising of the morrow's sun. How tha.yaaper of them live?and nineteentweutieths of them belong to this class ?is a mystery. They apparently have no avocation, and do not worry themselves as to what they shall eat or wear. I sec groups of them from 200 to 300 in all parts of the city, squattsd down by the sides of the narrow streets, huddled together in the market places or in the shadows of high walls, all appearing happy and contented, and chattering together in their Arabic tongue like so many magnio*. In the bazaars, and occasionally m the streets, I noticed a better class of Arabs, richly dressed in gaycolor, d silk costumes of their own manufacture, who are as handsome and fine specimens of men, physically nnd intellectually, as I have ever seen. The higher classes have their nri>tocracy and their ranks of nobility, and are as proud of their titles as any of the European kings or noblemen. In the surrounding country outside of Tunis are numerous tribes and bands of loving Bedouins, whose nomadic habits i f _! 1 -x- J 1 irom lime immemorial nave eiampeu | them a race distinct from all others in ( North Africa. They build no houses, and have no permanent homes, but camp oul for longer or shorter periods in the for- ! ests or open plains, living in brushwood j huts, or under low, black, wretched- ( looking tents, that beasts of the field ' would shun for a shelter. They are the gypsies of Africa, and, like the gypsies ] of Spain and other countries, their nat- i ural element is filth, and their proclivi- 1 ties arc for trading horses, thicviug, laziness, and a vagabond life generally. Many of them are said to be quite i wealthy, have large flocks of goats, sneep ; and herds of cattle which they feed upon the plains, while many are the owners of j a large number of camels and fine horses which are prized for their fleetness and pure blood. In their habits, modes of , living, dress, and features they are distinct from the Arabs. Their faces are dark, swarthy, ugly, and treacherous, while those of the Arab, as a rule, have a much lighter shade, with a more pleasant, intellectual expression, signifying that they belong to a higher type of civilization. The Bedouins are splendid j horsemen, and I have never witnessed such feats of horsemanship as I have seen displayed by them on the plains outside of the city on their half-wild Arabian steeds. Nearly every day in the week cavalcades of them come to the market places in the city,' or to large open places outside of the city walls, where they exhibit their.wonderful feats of horsemanship in mnriing, -leaping, -dancing^jg^ m forming tricks and exploits of so marvelous a nature as to astonish the beholder, especially if he is a foreigner. . While walking in the suburbs of the city with the interpreter of the English legation, we came across a crowd of Arabs and Bedouins who were witnessing some kind of a performance or show that evidently was of intense interest. Pushing our way through the crowd as best we could to see what the attraction was, we found another seance of snakecharming in progress, this time presided over by two wild, wierd-looking Bedouins, who the interpreter informed me 1 were the most celebrated snake-charmers in tnc regency ot Tunis. i ne ground in front of them was literally covered with makes. Several of them, the interpreter informed me, were very venomous, and , jne of the Bedouins, in a wild, inco- ; herent speech, was endeavoring to im press the fact upon his audience, and ; ulso that their poisontus fangs had j not been extracted.* Picking up | nne of the largest and most , savage-looking, he would hold it arm's length nnd tantalize it until it would | spring back and fasten its fangs into his face or some part of his body. Dropping it, he would then draw out from under his bernouse a small box of ointment, and apply it to the wound.which, be claimed, removed all the poisonous sffects. By the time he had finished this part ot the entertainment, me crowa 01 Arabs had largely increased, and had so far encroached upon the open space or ring where the show was being held that there was scarcely room for the snakecharmers to move about. To make the crowd fall back, one of the Bedouins , adopted a quick and most effective i remedy. Grasping the ugly fellow J from the ground that had just < been exhibiting its 6avage nature j ind venemous langs, and which , must have measured eight feet in i length, he commenced running around j the ring and thrusting its angry head into the frightened faces of the specta- , tors. The snake was standing out in a i horizontal line, and the Bedouin was holding it about two-thirds of the distance from the head. As it came near the Arabs, it would spring at them with its wide-open mouth, and its eyes flashing fire in a mo-t diabolical manner. There was no hesitation in obeying the Bedouin's command to fall back. I never 1 aw a crowd gathered around a street di w expand so suddenly as this. One J tall Arab, who was on his knees leaning forward, intently watching the perform- | ance, not getting out of the way in time, was seized by the savage reptile, which fastened its fangs into the 1 hoed of his bernouse, in close proximity to his nose. The poor chap, thinking he had received his death wound, commenced howling and yelling in a manner that must have frightened the tigers in the distant jungles. During the excitement that followed, and while two Ilcdouins were endeavoring to unfasten the fangs of the serpent from the A i-ok'f krva/1 4a wlnnk it iroc fOinrnncr *11(11/ C* 1IWUU, lU niiiuu JV fiua with a death-like grip, the other serpents on the ground commenced gliding quickly away in different directions,close at the heels of the panic-stricken Arab9, who were running different ways, as if the poisonous serpents were in full chase, ready to fasten on to their bare feet. About th" same time the interpreter and myself were walking hastily away in the direction of our hotel, fearing we should be late to dinner.

Cincinnati Times-Star. "Opium or death 1" This brief sentence was fairly hissed Into the ear of a prominent druggist on Vine street by a person who, a few years ago well off, is to-day a hopeless wreck! One can scarcely realize the sufferings of an opium victim. De Quincy has vividly portrayed it. But who can fitly describe the joy of the rescued victim? H. C. Wilson, of Loveland, O., formerly with March, Harwood & Co., manufacturing chemists of St. Louis, and of the well-known firm of H. C. Wilson & Co., chemists, formerly of this city, gave our reporter yesterday a bit of thrilling personal experience in this line. "I have crawled over red hot bars of iron and coals of fire," he said, "in my agony during an opium frenzy. The very thought of my sufferings freezes my blood and chills my bones. I was then eating over thirty grains of opium daily." "How did you contract the habit?" "Excessive business cares broke me down and my doctor prescribed opium 1 That is the wav nine-tenths of cases commence. When I determined to stop, however, I found I could not do it. "You may be surprised to know," he said, "that two-fifths of the slaves of morphine and opium are physicians. Many of these I met. We studied our cases carefully. We found out what the organs were in which the appetite was developed and sustained; that no victim was free from a demoralized condition of these organs; that the hope of cure depended entirely upon the degree of vigor which could be imparled to them. I have seen patients, while undergoing treatment, compelled to resort to opium again to deaden the horrible pain in those organs. I marvel how Iqver escaped." "Do you mean to say, Mr. Wilson, that you have conquered the nabit?" "Indeed I have." "Do you object to telling mo how?" "No, sir. Studying the matter with several opium-eating physicians, we became satisfied that the appetite for opium was located in the kidneys^and liver. Our next object was to find a specific for restoring those organs to health. The physicians, much against their codo. addressed their attention to a certain remedy and became thoroughly convinced on its scientific merits alone that it was the only one that could be relied upon in every case of disordered kidneys and liver. I thereupon began using it and, supplementing it with my own special treatment, finally got fully over the habit. I may say that the most important part of the treatment is to get those organs tir^t into good working condition, for in them the appetite originates and ia Miof???*?/! ! ?

"For the last seven years this position has been taken by the proprietors of that remedy, and finally it is becoming an acknowledged scientific truth among the medical profession; many of them, however, do not openly acknowledge it, and yet, knowing they have no other scientific specific, their code not allowing them to use it, they buy it upon the quiet and prescribe it in their own bottles.*' "As I said before, the opium and morphi.cs habits can never be cured until the apatite is routed out of tho kidneys and liver, i have tried everything,?experimented with everything, ana as the result of my studies and investigation, I can say I know nothing can accomplish this result but "Warner's safe cure." "Have others tried your treatment?" "Yes sir, many; and all who have followed it fully have recovered. Several of them who did not first treat their kidneys and liver for six or eight weeks, as I advised them, completely failed. This form of treat-ment is always insisted upon for all patients, whether treated by mail or at the Lovelana Opium Institute, and supplemented by our special private treatment, it always cures." Mr. "Wilson stands very high wherever known. His experience is only another proof of the wonderful and conceded power of Warner's safe cure over all diseases of the kidneys, liven and blood, and the diseases caused by derangement of those organs. We may say that it is very flattering to the proprietors of Warner's safe cure that it has received the highest medical .endorsement and, after persistent study, it is admitted by scientists that there is nothinc in materia. medicA for the resfcora tion of those great organs that equals It in power.

I am a native of England, and while I was In that country I contracted a terrible blood poison, and for two years was under treatment as an out-door patient at Nottingham Hospital, England, but was not cured. I suffered the most'agonizing pains In my bones, and was covered with sores all over my body and limbs. Finally I completely lost all hope In that country, and sailed for America, and was treated at Iloosevelt in this city, as well as by a prominent physician In New York having no connection wltn the hospitals. t saw the advertisement of Swift's Specific, and I determined to give it a trial. 1 took six bottles and 2 can say with great joy that they have cured me entirely.
