Hints to Dairymen.
Some one makes several scnsi. lc su
gtstions in theso brief seitcnces: Raise
your own cows. Keep a milk record.
Select heifers only from your bost milk
ers. In brecdicg, grade rather than
cr03i. Use a pur.'-brcel lull of your
chosen Lrcci on native cow& The off
spring will generally follow the quality
or superior power of tho lull. Adopt
the best methods of feeding with a view
to kecpiag tha greatest amount of stock
on the saino land.
aim fly flsirem.
If flowers arc grown on tho old-fashioned
ilau and are mostly hardy, a
somewhat different policy is pursuod.
Many of the old-fashioned flowers, as
Phloxc?, Sweet Williams, Pinks, Holly
hocks, and the liico grow fir yean and
blo.som in tho same place. But a
chango even with them works wonders.
The common method of propagation is
to take up and divile the old roots into
small pieces, then replant. This is done
beforo new growth takc3 plac3 and it is
astonishing what the new life will do.
With such as llowcr ear'y in the spring,
this should not be done until thoy arc
through blossoming. Dutch bulb3
should never ba disturbed in the spinier,
and are best bft until the foliage begins
todb down, umally bsforc midsummer.
They can then bo taken up and re a lily
kept until fall, which is tb.3 proper
time to plaut them. Prairie Farmer.

In tin consumption of hay and clover
there i p-rhap', under ordinary cir-cumstaucs-4,
a lcs3 proportion digested
and so rendered available in the growtli
or fattening of animds than is gener
ally supposed. This has been pretty
clearly demonstrated ia a series of di
gestion experiments that have been con
ducted at th-j 31 due st ition. Tho com
position of hiy ii given as follows: Pro
tein compounds, 5. 91; crude fibre, 28 89;
nitrogen free extract, 47.41, and fat,
2.C7. Of the above there i under or
dimry circumstances digested protein
compounds, 2.7; crude fibre, 124; nit
rogen free extract, 27. 9, and fat, 1.4.
13y the Jib )ve it appears that only
about onc-ha f o- the lutritive
principles of timothy are digested. In
the esse of clover hay tin result h very
Ecarly tho same, tin only difference of
any accou:t I cing in the fact that
clover h-iy fur ish.s about twice as much
of protein compouals as the timothy.
Assuming tint 3373 pounds of timothy
is cut from an acre, there will be di
gested 101.0 pounds of protein matter,
while from an acrj of 4073 pounds of
clover hay w..uld be digested 238.2
pounds of prot.dn, with but little dif
ference in the fat and nitrogen free ex
tract. A the protein contains tin sub
stance for animal tissue, this is im

Mip?p lor I roll f.
As "crumhs ox" ianu tare diopp.nl by
my husband," E telle Mcndell, writing
Iromlowa, says:
Any f turner may keep a small flock of
sheep with prcfi , ard at the same time
make h:.lf clear the farm of weeds.
For stock to rough it, that ht when
they arc kept with cattle or colt', a
cross of Merino with some long-wool
variety, such as Bakcwell or Lincoln is
tho best.
A fbek of twenty or thirty of this
kind, with a little pain? ia sorting (i
matter too little legarded) six to nine
pounds of wool and fifty per cent, in
crease may ea ily be obtaiied.
The ewe Iambs will keep the number
good. Tho wethers r.t thirty months
old will wci 'h from 110 to 115 pound',
you have two clips oi wool, and with
tho cash from this and the sale of the
sheep you can well afford the keeping
and trouble.
When tho lr.mbs bring a good price
sell them, and put the money ia ewes,
and fatten the old ones at threo years,
after weaning th?ir lamb.
U;C lull-blood males, but keep the
fljek at a given standard, so as not to
run to all wool or all mutton ; a medium
always pays the b'st ia the long run
thus givi-ig you a fair amount of both
wool and mutton, and you do not affect
prices ly an over-supply of either.
Any man to bo tuctessfu' with sheep
or any other ftrck should have in his
mind a standard or pattern of that
which ho de ires to raise, and then cross
60 as to come up to it :s nearly as he
can. In that way and no other will he
approach to the best. It is true that
mmy win lnve a oo I stanJard never
reach it ihrou ;h 1 i-k of ju Igm-jnt.
For instance, by keeping old sheep
and in-lrecdia;-, a friend of mine had
ten or twelve fine Cot. wold ewes, and
ho has k-. pt the sann stock for ten
years, u til now Li fl .ck of forty will
cot briar: ai much as his old flock of
one-fourth the r.uraber.
He cannot iej what is the matter;
"they are good blood and In keeps
them well." I tried to tell hi r, but he
tbdinately as';cl: "Where can I gel
better blood? Mine are from a notcel
flock."
My friend is not alone in his ig
norance. Nor arc sheep the only stock
thus injured. Ma y g od paying fl cks
and herds arc so far ruined in a few
generations tint thj owner bieoxes dis
couraged or sells out and tries some
thing cl ;c.
Another frbnd, with four fine c:es,
went on the principle th.t "feed mikes
wool." S ho rut them in with
hogs, win e thoy could cat all the cor:,
thy would. Tin; werj very fat and
nice to lof'c at, but th; wojI, when
sheiii.i,' t; . e ta r.!', wi3 all over thf:
yurd, and ho had no lambs. The fol
lowing year ho followed the same prac-
tice, and tho second winter they died,
leaving him only a few pounds of pulled
wool.
Sheep should bo kept well, but not
all tho time up to the last pound they
can carry. When a sheep has once been
fat enough for the butcher, and gets
thin, it is of no use, seldom bearing
lambs afterward, and graiu does not do
it much good. -Keep your store sheep
thriving, but not fat. Farm, Field

Professor J. W. Sanborn, of the Mis
souri St do Agricultural college, has
issued a bulletin giving the results of
experiments made by him, in which ha
shows that as ploughing is usually done
there is a great loss of power, resulting
in cither inferior work or overtaxing
the team, from the improper adjust
ment of plcughs with reference to
dej th and width of cut, improper ad
justment of hnrncss, the mo of coulter
of any form, and tho non use of wheel
or truck under tho end of beam to regu
late tho depth of furrow. The tests of
drau .dit wcro all made with the dyna
mo meter previously tested for its cor
rectness anel its indications carefully
noted so that tho results arrived at can
be accepted as correct.
Most farm harnesses have aa exten
sion cf tho hip straps with a loop at
the end through which tin traces pass
to hold tho latter in place when tho
team is unhitched. This loop U on
about a direct lino of the trace whea
tho horses are hitched to a farm wag
on. Hut wneu taken irom tne wagon
and hitched to tho ploujh the double
trees are so much lower than whea on
the wagon as to cause an anglo in the
trace from where it passes through tb.3
supporting, loop to th3 whiffl.treo.
Such conditions ho found cauied a
serious increase of tho draught. The
leat elraught is found where the trace
extends in a direct line from its attach
ment at tho hamo to the centre of
draught ia tho p'ough when adjusted
to its best depth for working.
The use of a coulter of any kind also
added to tho draught, while the uso of
a wheel under the end of the beam
now fallen into disuse lessened materi
ally the draught. Thu, as a result of
several tests, with and without truck or
wheel, the following averages were
rcaclnd: Average draught per squaro
inch of furrow turned with wheel on
4.87 pound; without wheel, o. 5G
pounds; per cant, of draught saved by
use of wheel 14.1. In the test of coul
ter?, the old anl tho new style knife
anel rolling coulters were used with the
following results: Average draught
with coulter on per square inch of fur
row turned, 5. 77 pr unds; with coulter
off, 4.99 pounls. L03S by use of coul
ter in per coat. 13. G or about the same

The Society lor the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children was fir t organized
about tho year 1873. It ori ,'inated in
the vi it of a la ly to a dyi ig woman in
a tenement house, who wished the lady
to carj for her child. The lady applied
to the police, who replied that unices
the chilel was legally brought before
them they could elo nothiig for her.
Sho then conmltcl several excellent
chaiitablo gentlemen as to what she
should do. They ropliod: "It is a
dangerous thing to interfere between
parent and child, and you miht get
yourself into trouble i." you did so, as
parents are proverbially the best
guardians or their own children."
Finally, in dasp dr, she applied to the
laic Ilar.ry B.T-h, who fou id that

The whole court assembled at tha
chateau of X (I forget the name), not
far from L'oan; there were also a great
number of illustrious guests : and Liszt,
together with se eral celebrated ar
tists, had promised to help at the con
cert to be given iu tho evening. The
Queen of England, with her husband
Prince Albert, was also f-t tho castle;
but, from what the courtiers said, "the
most sympathetic sovereign in Europe,"
as tho master called her, was not at all
in a pleasant temper. It is well known
how passionately she loved her hus
lnr 1, and how she never could get used
to tho inferior rank of her adored con
sort when the inflexibility of court
etiquette compelled her to, notice it.
Sho suffered dreadfully at it, and being
young and passionate, sho was quite
unable to hide her grievance. On this
occasion, a'so, fate had played her a
sorry trick when it brought on to the
scenes an Austrian archduke. Of course
he took precedence to Prince Albert,
and this irritated the jpung woman to
such an extent that it spoilt the whole
entertainment for her. Sho abused
the ladies in waiting, she got an "attack
of ner'.es," and took a gloomy view of
everything.
Tho evening came anel the court be
gan. Queen Victoria arrived rather
late, and did not appear to be herself
at all. Liszt was to play an "Intro
duction," but he hael scarcely seated
himself at tho piano bo "ore the t!ueen
complained o!: tho heat, at which a
chamberlain ran to open a window. In
about two minutes the Quoen found
the elraught insn2portable. Then tha
chamberlain hurried off again and shut
the window. This produced a bustle
atul a goLg to anel Iro capable of ruin
ing the effect of the finest performance
in tho world. When the "Introduction"
was finisheel the master, instead o!
playing the piece itself, got up, made a
bow, anel went out into the park to
smoke a cigar. When, half an hour
afterward, he oamo back to the hall,
King Frederick William got up froni
his place and said to him: "You ran
away just now. What was the matter?"
MI was afraid," replied Liazt, "of dis
turbing her Ma osty Queen Victoria
while sho was giving her orders." The
King laughed heartily, and begged
him to continue his programme, which
ho did in tho midst of respectful
silence, Queen Victoria ha in r le"t

"PNEUMONIA."
Why not Call thi Terrible Sconrjre by
its Itightlu! Name?
Neio York Telegram.)
Many a strong well built man leaves home
to-day; b?fore night ho -will have a chill and
in a few hours will be dead!
This is tha way the droaded pneumonia
takes people off.
The list of notable men who are its victims
is appalling.
it sweeps over the land like a scourge antl
destroys poor and rich alike.
Everyone dreads it. Its coming is sudden,
its termination usually speedy.
What causes it?
Pneumonia, we are told, is invitel by n
certain condition of the system, indicated if
one has occassional chills aud fevers, a ten
dency to cold in the throat and luners, rheu
matic and neuralgic pains, extreme tired
feelings, short breath and pleur.tic stitches
in tho side, nervous unrest, scalding sensa
tions, or scant and discolored fluids, heart
flutterings, sour 'stomach, distressed look,
puffy eye sacs, hot and dry skin, loss of
strength and virility.
These indications may not appear together,
they may come, disappear and reappear for
3'ears, the person not realizing that they are
nature's warning of a coming calamity.
In other words, if pneumonia does not
claim as a victim the p-jijon; having such
symptoms some less sudden but quite as fatal
malady certainly will.
A celebrated New York pliysioial told tho
Tribune that pneumouia was a secondary
diso -der, the exposure and col I being simply
the agent which develops the elisea;, already
dormant in the system, because the kidneys
have been but partially doing their duty. In
short, pneumonia is but an early indication
of a br ighfs diseased condit:on. This impair ad
action may exist for year3 without the pa
tient suspecting it, because no oain will be
Mt in the kidneys or their vicinity, and often
it can be d.teeted only by chemicai and mi
croscopical observations.
early 150 of tho 4( eloaths in New York
City th first week in April (and in six weeks
itSl deaths) were caused by pneumonia.
Tho disease is ver- obstinate, and if the
acconip tnying kidney eiisorder is very far
advanced, recovery is iiniwssihla, for the kid
n33s .erive out eutirely, and the patient is lit
erally suiFocated by water.
The only safeguard against pneumonia is
to maintain n vigorous condition of the
system, and thus prevent its attacks, by
using whatever will radically and effec
tually restore full vitality to the kidneys,
for if then are not sound pneumonia can
not bit prevented. For this purpose there
is nothing equ;il to "Warner's safe cure, a
remedy known to millions, use! probably by
hundreds of thousands and commend id as a
standard spsciSc wherever known and usei.
It does not pretend to cure an attack of
pneumon;a. but it does remove the cmist of
and pri'vt'iit. that disease if taken in tini".
No reasonable man can doubt this if he re
gards the pDrsonal experience of thousands
of honorable men.
When a physicician says his patient has
either bright's disc-asa cr pneumonia he con
fes es his inability to cure, and in a measure
hi considers his responsibility ended. In
rainy instances, indeel, persons are reported
as dying of pneumonia, heart disease,
apoplexy and convulsions, when the real
cause of dc?ath, and so known by the physi

relative of mine had been a great sufferer from salt-rheum for
upwards of forty years. The disease was most distressing in her
hands, causing the skin to crack open on the inside of the fingers
at the joints and between the fingers. She was obliged to protect
tho raw places by means of adhesive plasters, salves, ointments and
bandages, and during the winter months had to have her hands
dressed dailv. The pain was q.tfto severe at times and her general

creep in. Catarrh and rheumatism caused a great deal of suffering
in addition. to tho salt-rheum. Sho had used faithfully, and with
the most commendable perseverance, all the remedies prescribed
by her physicians, but without obtaining rejief. She afterwards
began treating herself by drinking teas made from blood-purifying
roots and herbs. She continued this for several years but de
