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

re is yet too much of indifference in j
ents in teaching their children the |
iness of farming, not only as a trade, <
as a profession. It ought to be kept i
stantly in view that the training and
ication needed by the farmer can
rely be learned at home, and that the
ctical knowledge thus gained will be

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.

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.
This unpractical motion passed with 1
icclamation, and from that year the poor !
children of Philadelphia have added a

The mail route between Claryvillc, a
mountain hamlet in Sullivan county, N.
Y., and Big Indian, Ulster county, is i
twenty-one miles long, and is through
the roughest and wildest portion of the
C'atskills. 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. He has never met with an accident.
In spite of his long Hfe of exposure
to rain, snow, cold, and heat he
is wonderfully vigorous in health. He

Although unable to rend, he industriously
gathers from others all information
on the current topics of the day, and, as ;
be never forgets anything, is probably the i
best informed person on general subjects j
in that part of the Catskill region. Kind. |
honest, industrious, reliable, no citizen '
in this region stadds higher in the estimation
of all clisses than Clark North,
the blind mail carrier of the Catsdills.

THE DENIZENS OF TUNIS."
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.

"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???*?/! ! ?

per cent, of all other human ailments
originate."
"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. "We tako pleasure in jpubushing the
above statements, coming from so reliable
a source as Mr. Wilson, and confirming by
personal experience what we have time and
again "published in our columns. We also extend
to the proprietors our hearty congratulations
on the results wrought

Can Consumption be Cured t
We have so often seen fatal results follow
(he deolaratlon that it can be oared, that we
have unconsciously settled down In the belief
that this disease most necessarily prove fatal.
It is true that occasionally a community has
witnessed an isolated case of what may appropriately
be termed spontaneous reoovery,
but to what combination of favorable circumstances
this remit was due none have hitherto
been found able to determine.
We have nowtho gratifying fact to announce
that the process by which nature effects this
wonderful change is no longer a mystery to
the medical profession, and that the changes
brought about in the system under favorable
circumst ances by intrinsic causes may be made
as certainty and more expeditiously by the use
of the proper remedy. In other words, nature
is Imitated and assisted.
Tuberculous matter is nothing more or less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.

It thus controls congh^'.espectdration,

The forming stage of a disease is always ths .
most auspicious for treatment. This fact should
induce persons to resort to tho use of Ptoo's Curs
when the cough is first not'eed, whether it haa
a consumptive diathesis for its cause or not,
for this remedy cures all kinds of coughs with
unequalled facility and promptness. In coughs
from a simple cola, two or three doses of the
medicine have been fouud sufficient to remove
the trouble. Se in all diseases of the throat
and lungs, with symptoms simulating thoee
of Consumption, Piso's Cure is the only infallible
remedy.

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

Last spring I had a terrible breaking out
all over my Dody. There were blotches as
large as a penny and some as large as a silYer
dollar. They would appear in the morninf
and would Itch and burn half a d&v. I took
everything I could think of, but to no avail.
! I grew worse and worse until I was-sick abed.
a friend advised me to use Burdock Blood
Bitters. I secured three bottles and before I
had taken all of the first bottle I felt like
another person. I was entirely cured before
I had taken the three bottles. It is a wonderful
medicine and I would not be without it
