HOTf TO DBT COWS.
A French agricnltaral writer reeom*
mends the ase of powdered camphor
to dry up cows which continue to sup*
ply milk too close to time of calrinij.
Cows giving about six quarts a day
three weeks before due were givea
three doses of thirty grammes each
dose, and the cows became dry in two
weeks. The cows were not injured in
any way, and were milked thoroughly
until becoming dry. —New York World.
A SUCCESSFUL HAYMAKER,
To be a successful haymaker, one
should be an expert in weather signs.
When the upper current of clouds be
gins to float trom the west,it is safe to
begin mowing. A clearing shower
does not harm new mown grass. I
have often mowed all I could handle
the last half day and morning of a
wet spell. While others were mow
ing, wo were cocking and soon haul
ing. It is a safe rule to keep hauling
whenever the hay is fit. One friend
itlways gets ten to twenty acres in
cock before he will draw any. Last
year every pound was out in a rain.
If too much is mowed at oboe, it will
get sunburned before it can be
bunched. An extra hand during hay
ing oft'jn proves a good investment.
—Buval New Yorker.
SHADE FOR RHODODENDONS,
Rhododendons, and other broad
leaved evergreen shrubs and trees suc
ceed best when planted in a half-
shady position. Some of the species
may withstand the hot sun very fairly,
provided they have plenty of moisture
at the roots, but the foliage will not
lu.vo that rich, glossy and healthy
color seen on plants growing in half
shade. Give the plants the morning
nun; after midday shade will be bene
ficial in both summer and winter. If
yon will go into our forests and notice
where the kalmias, rhododendons and
hollies thrive best, you will find that
they are shaded more or less. Plants
that are half burned up in summer
cannot withstand the cold of winter \
consequently there are many plants
which would bo perfectly hardy in
onr climate if they were given a fair
chance for growth and healthy de
velopment in Bummer.—American

HOW TO BURY -CABBAGE. ,
Take an empty barrel—a salt or
sugar barrel will do very well—dig a
hole sufficiently large and deep so
that a few inches of the barrel will
project above the ground when it is
put in position. Now bank the soil
urbund the barrel so that it will be on
a level with the top of the barrel and
sloping in ail directions from it.
Then cut the stalks of the cabbage off
close to the heads, and put cabbage
into the barrel so that the stalk part
of tho cabbage will be uppermost.
Thus continue until the barrel is full.
Then cover with a lid which will turn
water, made of inch lumber.
Cabbage buried in this manner in
the fall will keep till quite Rite in the
spring, and besides this it can be
gotten at any time in the winter with
out any trouble. The foregoing is
a description of the best method of
burying cabbage we ever tried, and
we have buried cabbage in quite a
number of different ways. The ob
ject in having the embankment slope
away from the barrel is to prevent
surface water from getting into it.—
Agricultural Epitomist.
GOOD TASTE IN FENCES.
, To keep fences neat and in good or
der shonld not always mean to keep
them primly clean and free from all
fringing and climbing plants. Ap
propriateness is synonymons with
good sense and good taste in this as
in every point. The degree of neat
ness required on a suburban avenue is
greater than that required on a modest
village street, much greater than that
xeqaired along a rnral highway. But,
however freely and variously nature
inay be allowed to drape and buttress
a fence, the fence itself should be kept
in good repair. Gaping brick-work,
tottering stones, broken palings, fallen
Mils or swaying posts can never bs
pleasing to the eye, except, of course,
where man’s work has patiently gouo
to ruin and been abandoned to nature,
who can turn confessed decay into
piotnresqueness.
I A broken fence, with the aid of
which nature has created a luxuriant
hedgerow, or a fallen stone wall over
which she has woven a garment of
wild roses, grapevines and smilax, is
a charming thing to see; but only
'where the soil itself has been aban
doned to her free devices—never amid
the surroundings of an inhabited
house or encircling fields still culti
vated to aupply the wants of man.
Here, also, nature may sometimes bo
allowed a pretty free hapd; batman's
supremacy should still be manifest j
and this supremacy does not manifest
itself favorably if signs of neglect and
decay are apparent in any piece of his
handiwork.—Garden and Forest.
LATE-HATCHED CHICKS.
Many poultry raisers have little suc-
oeetf with late-hatched chick. A fruit
ful cause of loss with chickens hatched
in June, July and during the first part
of August is the rapid multiplication
of vermin, and their greatly increased
activity at this season of tho year.
This undoubtedly, in no small num
ber of cases, causes the lack of growth
that by many is attributed to hot
weather. The boat, even of in id mm-
mer, is rarely ever greater than is en
joyed by young chickens, and if they
are kept free from vermin at this
time, and are surrounded by the
proper conditions of food, drink and
cleanliness, they ought to make rapid
growth.
If chickecn are to be hatched late,,
it ic important that they be of a
quickly maturing breed, so that they
may be laying before winter sets in,
otherwise there will be no eggs and
no income from them until spring.
Plymouth Rocks and Brahmas hatched
in June or July can hardly bo laying
before cold weather, but Leghorns
hatched in July may be expeciad, if
proper caro is given to secure rapid
development, W> begin laying before
exceedingly cold weather makes its
appearance. This is a point that
shonld not be overlooked, for ou it
very largely depends the question of
whether they are to be profitable or
aot.
Late-hatched chick* certainly are
not profitable nnlea* they are laying
in the time of the high prices ef win
ter, and, etill fdrther, unless they can
be given such comfortable quarters as
to secure continttous laying daring
the winter. There need be nh preju
dice against hatching chickens in June
and July, but let them be of a breed
that matures rapidly and lays prolifi-
cally, and keep them free from ver
min, which js the prevailing pest of
hot weather. —American Agriculturist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Do not dog the cows.
Feed a little salt to the hogs as well
as to the cattle.
Do not wait till the grass is woody
before cutting for hay.
Comfort of stock adds to the income
of the pocket book. Fact.
If the stock is herded provide the
herder a shade of some kind.
Corn, clover and milk make the
best and most wholesome pork.
Remember that good care and keep
are as essential as selection and breed
ing.
Have tho calves and colts in the
back pasture plenty of water these hoi
days?
Bred for the best or not at all,
should be the horseman’s motto in
times like these.
Feeding soaked corn to steers in
summer is practiced by some with
profit, they claim.
Give the growing swine a variety of
foods, and when possible let clover be
a prominent element.
Any extra milk you may have will
give good returns fed to the colts
these hot trying days.
Fly nets for the horses are a profit
able investment for the farmer or for
any one else who owns horses.
Horses are cheap, but that is no
good reason for keeping yourself poor
m supporting more of them than yon
need.
Every stock keeper who has two or
more pastures should allow one or more
to rest or grow up while the other is
being fed off.
See that tho food given to your
cows is of the best quality and in the
best condition for digestion. This is
very important.
Test every cow, and do not be con
tent with your herd until it averages
300 pounds of butter or 750 pounds of
cheese yearly per cow.
When your dairy is up to your ideal
standard, bu careful not to use a male
inferior to the herd, lest your breed
go down instead of up.
To get early lamb reqnires a good
deal of work. One great essential is
to change the bnoks every day at the
time you wish to breed. /
Your Yorkshire hog makes splendid
bacon with desirable alternate streaks
of fat and lean. It is a good hog to
keep for the family supply of pork
products.
The merciful dairyman, when he
draws calves to market, puts them in
a comfortable orate, instead of tying
their legs and doubling them under
the wagon seat.
Have a supply of bolts, washers and
oil on hand before commencing the
haying. A few cents for bolts may
save dollars in time and hay the first
weak in haying.
One of the best feeds for sows that
are suckling little pigs and for the
pigs themselves, especially daring
growth, is milk made into a slop, or
rather thickened with middlings.
Water the horses frequently, give
imall amount at a time; and the prin
cipal feed should be given at night,
that it may be eaten at leisure and
'digested and assimilated before morn
ing.
With swine and poultry both on the
farm, not much need go to waste that
has any food value. Hogs will eon-
inme more different kinds of pro-
vender in unattractive condition than
any other stock.
The cow that most graze indus
triously half of the summer to re
cover physically what she has lost by
indifferent keeping through the win
ter is not apt to earn a dollar in real
profit for her owner.
Let the hon sit if she wants to. It
is a prompting of nature. If chioke
are not wanted, let her amuse herself
with artificial eggs for awhile. It
will do her good. She will be good
for nothing for a time if yon break
her up.
The vegetarians are no doubt right
in denouncing flesh-eating as the
ctuse of many diseases in the human
family. Tape-worm, consumption
and oilier diseases may come from
meat that is not well cooked. Bnt
perfect cooking destroys all this origin
of disease.
In capping honey the bees begin at
the outside and finish at the centre.
The capping of the broad cells is
dark, porous aud convex, while that
of the honey cells is white and con
cave. The capping of honey cells is
made thicker by black bees than by
other races.
Theory ol American Storms.
Professor Colbert explains the origin
of great storms that move across our
country from the Rocky Mountains to
tho Atlantic seaboord on this theory:
The moist air from the Pacific,
driven up the west slope of the Rook
ies by the rotation of tho earth, is
suddenly deprived of its moisture in
cooler altitude. This drying of tho
air onuses a change in specific gravity,
and the disturbauee produced at once
results in a slight rotary enrrent.
The revolving mass of air moves on
ward toward the east, its motion and
size constantly increased by the suck
ing in of warm south winds on its for
ward eilge. These currents from tho
south drop their moisture from con-
tact with tho colder revolving storm,
and the sadden lightening of the air
by the dropping of its moisture works
like a stream on a mill wheel.
Thus the real cause of our great
storms lie in the conditions met by
these traveling whirlwinds in their
regular journey across tbs country.
If they are cold enongh and meet with
enough moist, hot air in their coarse
they are set spinning with a velocity
that makes a cyclonic storm.—Chicago
Journal.

MIGHTY BREATHINGS.
Rsmarkabls Action of ■ Crater In tho
lalanf of Sumatra.
There are many"'mud volcanoes
scattered throughout the world, but
there are few whose action is so regu
lar and so characteristic as that of
Dempo, in the island of Sumatra.
This marvelous volcano, about 10,000
feet In height, was visited recently
by a correspondent who thus de-
scribes It: All was quiet and placid
and I sat down awhile to take in tho
details of a scene so novel; a vast
circular basin half a mile in diameter,
with rocky sides of sheer precipices,
displaying at places horizontal strata,
and at the bottom of this another
smaller basin, some 200 feet in
diameter, filled to within about thirty
or forty feet of its rim with a smoky
substance, like burnished silver, re
flected the blue sky and every pass
ing cloud.
We had sat thus for perhaps ten or
twelve minutes when I noticed that
the centre of the white basin had be
come intensely black, and was scored
with dark streaks. This area grad
ually increased. By steady scrutiny
with my glass, for it was difficult to
make out what wa% silently and
slowly taking place, I at last discov
ered that the blackness marked thn
sides of a chasm that had formed in
—what I now perceived the white
burnished mirror to bo—a lake of
seething mud.
The blackness increased. The lake
was being engulfed. A few minutes
later a dull, sullen roar was heard
and I had just time to conjecture
within myself whence it proceeded
when the whole lake heaved and rose
in the air for some hundreds of feet,
not as if violently ejected, but with a
calm, majestic upheaval, and then
fell bark on itself with an awesome
roar which reverberated round and
round the vast caldron and echoed
from rocky wall to rocky wall like
the surge of an angry sea; and tho
immense volume of steam let. loose
from its prison house dissipated itself
into the air.
The wave circles died away on the
margin of tho lake, which resumed
Its burnished face and again reflected
tho blue sky; and silence reigned
again until the geyser had gathered
force for another expiration.
Thus all day long tho lake was
swallowed up and vomited forth once
in every fifteen or twenty minutes.
That it was not always so quiet even
as now the stones on the Bawah and
the aepri® on the sides of the cone
bore witness. Once in about every
three years, the natives told me, the
crops of coffee, bananas and rice were
quite destroyed by “ sulphur rain,”
which covered everything for miles
round the crater.—[Chicago Tribune.
Mother Goose’s Grove.
“A man is very frequently igno
rant of tho things that lie nearest to
him,” said Hon. Thomas M. Hab-
son, the eminent Boston lawyer. "A
case in point is furnished from my
own experience. The windows of my
office look down upon the old Gran
ary graveyard that is one of the
landmarks of Boston. It contains
the Franklin monument, the tomb of
John Hancock, and the dust of a
number of old colonial governors.
That much I knew up to the big en
campment of the Grand Army in our
town three or four years ago. It
seemed that of all the sights of Bos
ton none attracted the great crowd
of Grand Army visitors like tho old
Granary Cemetery. I think at least
10,000 people made a daily pilgrim
age there while the encampment
lasted.
“I was standing with a friend
watching the crowds ono day, when
ho remarked: ‘I guess it’s Mother
Goose’s grave that draws the stran
gers.’ Here was something new to
me. Boston bred and born, as I was,
I didn’t know up till then that tho
old lady whose rhymes have delighted
thousands of juveniles all over the
broad land had been laid to rest
within a stone’s throw of my office.
Mother Goose is no myth; her real
name was Ann Goose, as appears on
her tombstone, which contains noth
ing else but the simple record of her
birth and death. Whether she wrote
all the rhymes herself or simply
collated them is a vexed question,
but in any event young America will
ever cherish her memory.”—[Wash
ington Post.
Norman Gauntlets.
Under the Norman Kings gloves,
or, more strictly speaking, gauntlets,
for they were made to cover the arm
as well as the hand, were often richly
embroidered and the backs set with
precious stones. No doubt the Nor
man ladies, whose skill in needle
work is shown by many an old frag
ment of tapestry still preserved, shut
up as they were in the gloomy recess
es of their strong castles, would find
a pleasant change of occupation in
ornamenting their lords’ gloves with
curious tracery and quaint devices in
gold and silver thread.
The glove she was embroidering,
with its suggestions of merry hawk
ing parties by the reedy mere, of
friendly contests in the tilting yard',
would seem to the noble dame the
token of peaceful recreation when
the iron gauntlet with its heavy links
and chains could be safely laid aside.
As a proof that gloves at this period
formed a distinctive part of the dress
of persons of high rank, tradition
tells us that Richard Coeur de Lion,
on his way home from Palestine
through Austria, was recognized by
the servants of his enemy, Duke Leo
pold, by the pair of jeweled gauntlets
which he wore in his bolt, these latter
ill according with the disguise he had
assumed oi a traveling merchant or
home-returhing pilgrim. — [Good

He ran all the specials and best trains,

headlight he saw a woman. He had
only time to see her hands raised and
to hoar her cry, and before he could
put his hand upon the lever he felt a
jerk under the wheels and knew that
all was over. Since that night bo has
never been on an engine. For months
he did not sleep, and later became
practically insane, but only on the
one point of seeing and hearing the
woman his engine killed. Now he
goessabo.it harmlessly and aimlessly,
but he has to be kept away from rail
roads, and in his fretful sleep he
awakens with cries and paroxysms of

IToero Will Ho Cared in ’H4 by tbe Uao
ol No-To-Hnc, Causing a l.osn ol Ittimy
Millions of Hollars to Tobacco Manu
facturers.
Chicaqo.August 11—[Special.]—It was re
ported to-day that a largo sum of money has
been offered tho proprietors of the cure tor
the tobacco hahtt called “No-To-Bae,” which
is famous all over tho country for ffs won
derful effect. This offer, ft was sold, was
made by parties who desire to take ft off tho
market and stop its sale, because of its la-
jury to the tobacco business. Mr. H. L.
Kramer, general manager of the No-To-Bao
business, was interviewed nt his cffloe, 45
Kandolnli street, and when questioned
promptlv said
‘‘No, sir; No-To-Bao is not for sale to tho
tobacco trust. We just refused a half mill
ion from other parties for our business.
Certainly No-To-Bao affects thetobacco busi
ness. It will cure over a half million poonlo
in 1894, at nu average saving oi *50, winch
oaeh would otherwise expand for tobacco,
amount log in round figures to ♦25,000,00(1.
Of course, tobacco mnuufaeiurors’ and deal
ers’ loss is the gain of tho party taking No-
To-Bnc. Does No-To-Bao benefit physically?
Yes, sir. The majority of our patients re
port an immediate gain in tlesh, and their
nicotine saturntedsystems are cleansed and
made vigorous. How Is No-To-Bao sold?
I’rlncipally through our traveling agents.
Wo employ over a thousand, it Is also sold
by druggists, wholesale and retail, through
out the United States and Canada. How an
patients assured that No-To-Bao will affect a
cure in their case? We absolutely guarantee
three boxes, costing *2.50, to euro any case.
Failure to cure means tho money back. Of
course there are failures, but they are few,
and we can better afford to have the good
will of an occasional failure than li is money.
We publish a little book called ‘Don't To
bacco Spit or Smoko Your Life A way,’that
tells all about No-Tb-Bae, which will be

Fishing by Electric Light, ■
A new style of fishing is the latest
invention of M. Trouvc, of Paris, a
man chiefly known hitherto for hie.
ingenious achievements iu the matter
of stage lightning and other effects.
Tho plan is a simple one, a id saves
trouble. He attaches a number of
electric lamps to a particular form of
ling net, some on tho surface of die
water, some at stated depths. He
then stretches the net across a harbor
mouth or other convenient spot,
switches on the lights and waits. Fisli
of every size and slmpo nro attracted
to the unusual glare ; at tho proper
moment tin net is automatically
closed, amt there is a miraculous
draught all ready for tho market.
Why, asks M. Trouvc, go out into the
deep waters to seek fish? Let them
come to you. It is a fact well known
to every salmon poacher that fisli can
be attracted by a light, and ou a small
scale, uo doubt, they might be netted
in such a way, lint whether fish will
bo likely to crowd iu from tho North
8ea and the Mediterranean iu such
quantities as to render their pursuit
unnecessary may be doubted.—Chi-
vago Times.
A Rare Mineral.
Spangolite, a very rare mineral, has
been found iu some British Museum
specimens of copper ore from the St.
Day mines of Redruth, Cornwall. If
occurs iu deep emerald green trans
lucent crystals of a hexagonal form,
ending in truncated pyramids, and is
in reality a hydrated sulphate and
chloride of copper and aluminum.
Only ono other sample of spangolite
is known, namely, that discovered in
the district around Tombstone, Ali-
zona.—Now York Telegram.
A New Species of Octopus.
A now species of octopus, lately dis
covered in Lower California by M.
Diguet, hatches its eggs, like tho hen,
by sitting on them. The eggs arc laid
in an empty valve shell, which tha
animal itself continues to occupy—
possibly as a permanent homo instead
of simply during incubation. This
discovery has recalled the even more
curious fact that Aristotle mentioned
sitting on its eggs no a habit of tho
octopus.—Atlanta Constitutiou.
Tho natives of Madagascar use tho
silk of tho great spider in the manu
facture of clothing and bed covering.
It is strong and elastic. The spider
is fed on honey and flies, and is then
caused to spin the silk by having a
tiny jet of water thrown on him.

Fellets are always in favor. They're purely

is to keep the bowels ojien and regular—not
