The Income of One Minute.
V A common form of the begging lette?
m so sadly familiar to the rich men of
? America Is that enclosed in a small
Lord Fauutleroy envelope d wo rated
I with a curious network ?>r pot hooks
i and hungers. The person in charge
of such corrospondcitee is able to read
very nearly every word of the missive
with his eyes 'shut: "I am a little
girl, twelve years of age, trying to do
what I can for the fresh air fuiul of our
town, and knowing how very, very
generous you are, hut how many, many
people must ask you for money, I only
suggest you let us have a ht.lf of a unt
your Income amounts to for one minute.
Your grateful little friend, Mu*
mie B." That Is the regular formula
followed l?y the small glii. as the opening
of the envelope proves, for the
Idea of getting a minute's worth of a
millionaire's income is a favorite
scheme in the begging letter. Karnest

BROOM CORN AS A FAliM OROI*.
Tho broom corn crop requires rich
land, freo from weeds and weed seeds,
to make it very profitable. It is very
diilicult to keep freo from weeds while
young, as the small seeds aro slow to
germinate, and do not at au early stage
mako rapid growth. In this, both tho
seeds and habit of growth rosembio
sorghum. Broom corn used to bo
largely grown on tho Mohawk Hats,
and probably is yet to some e::tout, as
farmers who get into tho kuuck of
working it up rarely abandon the crop.
To securo a profit from broom making
requires nearness to sonic populous
neighborhood whoro labor can bo had
cheaply iu winter. There is so much
competition in the business that less
is luudo at it than formerly. Some
seasons there is enough domand for
broom corn to enablo tho grower to
sell it without manufacturing, and get
a good profit from it. Tho brown hurl
its iuu largest kiuu, una is is inereioro
tho best variety to plant, though the
brooms muilo lroom green hurl generally
bring a higher price, and the
prico of the unmanufactured product
is also higher. A farmer who has considerable
help in his own family can
generally manufacture brooms so as
to get a better profit than ho can by
selliug the crop as it is cut from the
field. Tho seeds need to bo planted
shallow in straight rows, in soil brought
to as line a tilth as possible and after:
tho surface soil has become warm.?

AID FOr. THE COWS.
Tho English Government somo time
ngo tQok up tho matter of tho proper
supply of air to cows. It is regarded
as part of tho work of tho publio health
officers to inspect all barns and see
either that the buildings are well ventilated
or that they are large enough
to permit of being shut for Komo Lours
without detriment to the health of the
cows. It is said that the execution of
tho law has occasioned a great deal of
friction in tho country districts of
England. The medical officers make
specifications as to how a barn shall
be ventilated, or in the absence of ventilation,
how many cubic foot of air
may be given to each animal. Most
of tho barns are found to fail far below
the requirements. Tt is very likely
that investigation would show the same
l:.: .. t ,i a- ?; ' -
tumutiuu ui uiiugs U) CX1SI 1U tlUS
country, though in n less degree.
In fact, Romo of our barns nro so
poorly built that they need neither
vontilators nor air space, since the air
lias free ingress and egress through
tho cracks between tho boards. To
such as have tight barns tho question
is pertinent. Of tho two ways mentioned,
giving tho cows more breathing
spaco would appear batter than to
ventilate, since by the former method
all draughts may bo shut oil'. When
an animal is not iu tho best of condition,
a draught of cold air too frequently
proves the beginning of serious
and sometimes fatal disorders'.?
Farmers' Ho view.
TREATMENT O? OAR GET.
Tho cause of garget iu cows is
usually excessive flow and richuess of
milk, which, if tho bag is not relieved,
soon causes inflammation and congestion
or caking. It is always the
best cow that is troubled in this way.
Tho evil is made greater by fecdiug
too highly of what will produco a
large flow of inilk. Tho bag or udder
of cows should be examined frcquoutly
for several days before the cow oalves.
If it seems distended it should he relieved
by milking out all that can be
got from the teats at least once, and,
better still, twico a day. Wo have
somotimes milked ten days or moro before
tho cow ealved. If the milking is
begun it inust bo attended to every
day, as the act of milking increases

havo used tho poke root for Ibis pur!
pose, and have known it to bo used by
others. It is a weed that grows vory
luxuriantly on newly-cleared land,
and its berries aro familiar to overy
boy in tho country, as their red juico
is often used to write with. The poke
root is reputed to bo poisonous if
eaten, but it is excellent to steep and
lot simmer down with cream or milk
as a salvo for inflamed surfaces of uuy

When tho asparagus is dono with,
th oso stalks that aro left to grow
should bo selected and only tho male
or staminnto ones kopt. Tho worst
weeds in tho bed aro tho surplus plants
that grow from seed, as they aro most
difficult to eradicate, and crowd tho
plantation. So that as soon as the <
seeds are seen to bo forming tho fc!
mule plants aro to bo dug out, or at ;
least cut down, eo as to prevent tho ^
Becd forming.
A good method is then to cover tho (

and woll rotted. It may bo covered I
thrco inches deep with benefit to tho '
next year's giowth. When tho big !
stems are seen occasionally, it is Blip- |

end should bo given generously,
whilo the cultivation of the soil should ^
not be spared. A largo supply of seeds (
may bo procured for a low cents, so i
that tho cost of it will bo very small >
if good judgment is used. I
Tho seeds should be saved when ripo |
for nest year's supply of tho annuals, t
Tho perennials should be reproduced *
by cuttings or division of tho roots, |
and tho bulbs should bo taken care of, j
so that alter the first year this part of t
tho garden will bo self supporting. '
The porounihl bulbs ami such plants
as lilies, cactuses, and others whose
habits are to llower early in tho summor,
and then tako a season of rest,
which they naturally get in tho dry
summer of their native places, should
ho kept dry after flowering. If in
pots these aro laid on their side in a
sheltered place until September, when
thoy should bo repotted in fresh soil
and tho new growth encouraged. And
by aud by it will be a good thing to
make cuttings of tho common flowering
plants to get rooted for the window
garden in the winter. In this
way geraniums, chrysanthemums,
fuchias and roses may jbo propagated
without much trouble aud without
any cost. Indeed, the youug people
may very easily, by enlarging the out
lit, make a profitable business by sup- <
piying those neighbors with plaut3 (

It 13 very easy to improve a iloek o! i
common fowls by using pure bred '
males, anil the cost of a male is eo lit- !
tie, compared with the iucrea?od gain (
iu size and prolificacy in a flock, as t
well as uniformity oi' color, that thero 1
is nothing to prevent all from discarding
the mongrel male.
If clover is liucly choppoil, boiling
water poured over it, and the moss allowed
to remain over uight, until tho
next morning, a strong decoction of
tho clover is obtained, known as clo- j
ver tea. This water off the elover is
tho best of ull liquids lor mixing
ground grain, especially for chicks.
Tho clover may ho fed to tho fowls
with benefit. It is uu excellent and
agreeable change for the fowls if it is
thickened with corn meal anil bran,
and it may bo used for ducklings or
young turkeys.
It may happen that some have not
hatched out tho pullets lor next year
as early as they desired, and if so they
should uso Leghorn males with their
hens. Tho reason is that as tho Leghorn
matures early, a pullet that is a
cross of Leghorn and some other breed
will grow rapidly, and thus gain in
growth in a short time as fast as a
pullet of n largo breed in a longer |
time, and tho Leghorns are also excel- '
lent layers.
A malo anil twelve hens, selected '
and placed apart from the other fowlp,
will produce all the eggs desired for
hatching on the majority of farms,
and it will consequently be a saving
of room and feed if all the cockoiels
are sold. There are too many useless
and expensive members of the lloek to
allow a profit when tlio males nnd noulnviug
hens are retained. Reduce expenses
by getting rid of them beforo
winter comes.
The poultry man who uses stale eggs
for nest eggs at this season of the year
invites lice and low prices. The utalo
eggs become broken aud 1111 the poultry
house with fifth and disagreeable
odor. The proper method is to use
no nest eggs at all. The lions that are
accustomed to laying in certain nests
will always resort to them, needing
no invitation; in fact, they will not
change their laying places if they can
avoid it. Stale eggs are suro to break
and scatter their contents over tho
nests sooner or later.

Serious Complications..
/ Vo'n the Star, Portstnmith,
An experience that is seldom recorded
nny newspaper is that of Mr. Gabriel Levy,
of Olfl Crawford Street, Portsmouth, V?.,
who, at one timo, was a sufferer from a complicatiou
of almost incurable diseases, and
by the uso of a very simple remedy to-day
is rendered fully capable <>f attending to Ills
duties and is as strong as ever.
Following is what Mr. Levy says: "Yes,
it is true that not lomr since I was a sufferer I
from seven different diseases, either one of
which has proved fatal in many oases. I
was laid up in lied for months, not able to
00 the slightest thing for myself, as many
well known physicians who attended mo can
attest. To-day I um well and hearty, as
you can see.
"I was in Columbus, On., when first attacked,
and went to ihe city hospital for
treatment, I felt some little improvement,
but not enough to warrant me in doing manual
labor. My limbs were so weak that I
experienced great difficulty in getting about.
1 grew rapidly worst and at times would expo-ienoo
tingling sensations through my
limbs, the nature of which I cannot describe.
The pains were terrible, and relief I sought
in everv eoneoivahle shajMi. I tried physicians.
who were eminent in their profession,
without avail, and dually boginto lose hope,
when Dr. Mitchell, of Columbus, Oa., advised
me to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People.
"Having taken so much medicine without
receiving any benefit 1 was lonth to take
such a simple tiling its pills. However,|itfter
being persuaded I resolved to givo thein a
trial. Within a fow days I began to foel a
littlo better. As time wont on I gradually
improved, ami to-day I am as healthy and
strong as any one. I attribute my complete
cure to the free use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People."
Mr. Levy also says that ho believes if ho
had not used the pills ho would never have
been able to roaeh his homo In Portsmouth;
that they proved a blessing to him. Ho
cneeriuiiy recommends tliem tD the publio.
To oonllrin his statement beyond nil doubt
Mr. Levy made the following affidavit.
"I swear that tho above statement of my
case and tb(} use of Dr. Williams' Pills to bo
true."

With a better understanding of the

ical ills which vanish before proper ef?
forts?gentle efforts?pleasant efforts?? .
rigntiy directed. There is comfort it*
tliQ knowledge that so many forma'of '
sickness arc not iluo to any actual dis-? , .
ease, but simply to a constipated condition
of the system, which the pleasant '
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promptly
removes. That is why it is the pnly, ;
remedy with millionsof families. an.I is
everywhere esteemed so highly by nil
who value good health. Its beneficial'
effects are due to the fuct, tliut it is tlio i
one remedy which promotes internal "
cleanliness, without debilitating tha
organs on which it nets. It is therefore
all important, in order to pet its beneficial
effects, to note when you
cluise, thatyou have the genuine article, '*
which is manufactured by the California . .
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all reputable
druggists.
If in tho enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then lax a,- .
tives or other remedies are not needed..
If afflicted with any actual disease, ono'
may be commended to tho most skillful",
physicians, but if in. need of a laxative,;
then one should have tho best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely -.,
used and gives most general satisfaction.
