SCIENTIFIC FARMING.
The farmers who object to scientiflo
farming are the ones who are too lazy
-to benefit by the latest discoveries of
science. They run their farm in a
slip-shod fashion, and then grumble
because their industrious neighbors
pass them in the raco. 3iew York
World.
CARE OF HORSES FEET.
' One of the mistakes often made bv
farmers is that of keeping their horses
shod that do work in tho field during
a portion of the year at least. Of
course this sometimes becomes neces
sary, but in the great majority of
cases it is not only uncalled for but it
is actually a hindrance to the bes
service tho horse is capable of giving.
Everybody knows that when a horse
is once shod tho necessity of keeping
shoes upon his feet grows upon him
It is also recognized that a horse can
do all sorts of farm work just as well
without shoes on as with them, and a
critical observer of horses soon dis
covers that farm horses are kept wear
ing shoes merely from a fancied and
mistaken kindness toward them rather
than from any sound and logical rea
son. If people were in tho habit of
giving a little personal attention to
their horses' feet upon frequent occa
sions, instead of leaving it all to the
blacksmith it would be all tho better
for the horses. Nebraska Farmer.
SALT MAKES MILK.
Experiments havo recently been
made to ascertain wnetlier too giving
of salt to dairy cows has any direct.
bearing on the supply of milk, and
tho results havo been of a character
which will bo surprising to many who
attach little importance to providing
salt for their cattle. Salt they must
have in some form or another, and if
it is supplied to them in suitable quan
tities and ways, they will take suffi
cient and no more for their own bene
fit. For about a month, from June
20 to July 18 last year, three cows
were kept without salt and tho milk
from each weighed twico daily from
tho 4th to tho 18th of July, when they
gave 454 pouc 1s. From July 18 to
August 1 the same cows received four
ounces of salt each, and during that
time the milk showed an increase of
LOO pounds, the weight being 564
pounds. From this experiment it ap
pears that there was a considerable
gain, which would pay admirably any
one to keep his stock well supplied
with salt ; and it may also be added as
another good custom to follow to keep
plenty of fresh water where it can al
ways be accessible. Connecticut
Farmer.
HOW TO MAKE A WATER MEADOW.
A water meadow is a level piece of
land on the bank of a stream that is
embanked, so as to retain tho water
of the stream in freshets, and permit
it to settle and deposit the soil which
it holds in suspension. As the mud
which comes down with the high water
is the washing of tho best of the land
above, this inclosed land gathers a
largo quantity of valuable soil in the
course of a few years, and the grass
grown on it yields very abundantly.
In a dry time the water of tho stream
may be turned on to the meadow by
means of a channel made further up,
or at a low dam made in the stream
for tho purpose, and the growth of
grass thus greatly increased. If the
land is almost level, the bank on the
side of tho stream and on the lower
limit of the field need not be more
than a foot high. Of course, it is pro
vided with gates to let in the water
and discharge it at the lowest point.
It is often the case that the water thus
turned on to tho field is permitted to
llow slowly over it, settling the sus
pended matter as it flows. Land thus
improved has been known to pay an
interest every year on a valuation of
1000 an acre. New xork Times.
FATTENING roXXLTRT.
The fattening of fowls for market
by means of the process knoAvn as
cramming is practiced to a great ex
tent in certain localities, and decided
advantages are claimed for it. While
there seems to be a great demand for
what is thought to be a special de
licacy, it may be questioned if such
methods are not productive of objec
tionable results. It is scarcely to be
expected that creatures fed in the
manner described in accounts given of
such operations will retain their
health, and come to market in a per
fectly normal condition. All undue
forcing of the appetite gives rise to
feverish and unwholesome states, and
it seems impossible that meat pre
pared under such circumstances can
be suitable for food. As a matter of
fact too much fat is an objection
rather than a gain in poultry. A fowl
kept in a good clean range and care
fully fed is at its best when cooped up
for three or four days and given all
of the boiled rice with a little sugar
and butter that it can eat in that time.
In the course of this period it has no
opportunity to get diseased and ab
normal. It would be well if sani
tarians and health enthusiasts would
give a little attention to this way of
fattening, and see if it is entirely con
sistent with the laws of health and
hygiene. New Ycrk Ledger.
EAISINa HORSEKADISH.
Horseradish delights in deep, rich,
moist soil, and requires but little cul
tivation as it has much top which
shades the ground, prevents weeds
from growing and keeps the soil moist
and mellow.
It is grown or propagated from sets
or pieces of small roots cut from four
to eight inches long with upper end
slanting and lower end square. When
cultivated on a large scale the ground
is well manured, deeply plowed and
thoroughly harrowed, or otherwise
put in good condition ; then marked
out in rows from two to three feet
apart. In these the root pieces are
planted fifteen or eighteen inches
apart. The planting is done by mak
ing a hole with a long slim dibber or
planting stick or with a small, light
iron bar, and dropping the set, square
end down, into it so that the top end
is left a little below the surface. Then
press the soil firmly against the 6et.
Keep cultivator or wheel hoe going
till the top growth renders further
working unnecessary.
In these days of intensive farming
or gardening wo must take two crops
off the same land each season when
ever possible, so horseradish is gen
erally made ft second crop, though
pltiutsa at yearly tUo same tiws w Me
first crop. The crops usually selected
as the first crop are early cabbages,
cauliflowers or beets. As soon as the
first crop is planted the horseradish
sets are put out, as described above,
midway betwen the other two towb,
so as to stand two or two and a half
feet one way by sixteen or eighteen
inches the other.
The sets are put in deep enough so
the upper or slanting end will be
about three inches below the surface
of the ground. This will give the first
crop time enough to grow and be
gotten out of the way before the horse
radish gets much above ground.
While cultivating the first crop no
notice is taken of the horseradish un
derneath. If a stray shoot comes up
it is to be treated as a weed, and the
whole surface below the rows kept
clean. When tho first crop is taken
off the cultivator may be run once
down the space where it stood and the
horseradish permitted to make its
growth as rapidly as it wishes. It
makes its most rapid growth in early
autumn anyway, and witu tho good
start it has had below the surface it is
soon ready for a hoeing; this will
generally be all the cultivation needed.
It is dug late in the fall, the tops
and small roots trimmed from the
main roots, which are stored in cellars
and root houses till wanted for the
market. The small roots as cut off
are saved, trimmed and bunched for
the next season's planting. They
should bo buried in Band till wanted.
The large roots are generally washed
before being sold. The price is usu-
allv so much ner pound, lo start a
plantation roots maybe obtained from
most large dealers in roots and plants.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Salting with brine is not effective.
Excessivo feeding of Swedish turnips
makes the milk bitter.
Begin early and train the fruit trees
to grow symmetrical and well bal
anced. It requires ensilage and warmstable3
for cows in winter to make winter
dairying profitable.
It is doubtful if there is any better
milk-producing food for the brood
mare than ground oats.
Professor Weigman attributes oily
butter to iron, which comes from tho
use of poorly tinned vessels.
Keep a close watch on the work
horses. Givo them all necessary pro
tection against bad-fitting or dirty
collars.
Buttercups and other varieties of
the ranunculus in the pasture are gen
erally responsible for tho bitter taste
in milk and butter.
Hot weather brings plenty of work
in the poultry yard, and work that can
not be slighted nor neglected if profit
able results are to be expectod.
Handsome, well proportioned, sound,
sixteen-hand carriage horses that
show quality and good action will
bring about as much money to-day as
ever.
Green bone is an excellent egg-mak
ing food. It is also excellent for
young chicks, as it furnishes the ma
terial required lor the growtn or bone
and feathers.
Soapy milk has been found to be
caused by damp, foul straw upon which
the cows were bedded, lhis abounded
in bacteria, which got on to the udder3
and thence into the milk.
Salting with one-half to one and one
lalf ounces per pound increases the
total weight of butter about twelve
per cent. Tho unsalted butter has a
arger water content than the salted.
Young ducks are great feeders and
will sometimes gain is much as a
pound in a week. Duck meat can be
produced almost as cheaply as pork,
and with about the same kind of feed.
Because there are poor imported
stallions it is very foolish to refuse to
buy or use an imported stallion.
Some of the best horses in the world
have been imported into the United
States.
When honey is capped and sealed it
should be removed at once if a fine
appearance is desired. If left to the
bees it will improve in flavor and
quality but at the expense of discol
oration. I. Seidl finds that weak brine up to
ten per cent, is not fitted for preserv
ing butter, and that saturated brine
cannot be relied on, even when the
butter is kept in a cool place. Brine
is likely to give butter a "heet" taste.
If eggs are desired during the warm
season, do not let the hens get crowd
ed in the roosting place. Better pro
vide a roosting shed with open sides.
At the most, not over twenty-five
should be allowed to roost together.
The best time to oil harness is after
it has been out in the rain. When it
is nearly but not quite dry wash it
clean with lukewarm water with a lit
tle common soap in it ; rinse off the
soap, and when nearly dry apply the
oil.
Clover or fine-cut beet tops packed
away tightly while green, in barrels,
will make a good juicy food for the
hens next winter. The barrel must
be air-tight with a tightly fitting head,
and the heavy weight must be left ou
tho top until you are ready to ue the
coutents.
The best temperature for creaming
in deep-setting is forty-five degrees.
No advantage was found in heating
from 93-110 degrees before set
ting. The addition of from ten to
twenty-five per cent, water appeared
to slightly improve the thoroughness
of creaming.
A Scientiflo Poison.
Not long ago the rural districts of
France were overrun with a plague of
fieldmice. They were everywhere, and
it was estimated that every acre was
infested by thousands of theso nuis
ances, to tho serious detriment of tho
crops. Some ingenious scientist de
vised a method for getting rid of them
all. He procured the germs of a di
sease, which was fatal to the rodents
and contagious, and after cultivating
a considerable quantity of them, ho
soaked in tho solution small cubes of
bread, which were then scattered over
tho fields where th-j mice were the
thickest. Within two weeks therd
was scarcely a live mouse to be found
in the whole district. An examina
tion of their burrows showed them to
bo full of dead micp. Now Orleans

DEATH IN A MINE FIRE.
A TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE
IN WASHINGTON STATE.
Colliers Entombed In a Fiery Furnac
and Nearly Two Score of Iilvef
kost Meager Details of the Ca
lamity Scenes at the Mouth oi
the Pit.
A tarrlble catastrophe occurred In the
Oregon Improvement Company' coal mlnas
at Franklin, thirty-four miles from Seattle,
Wash., at 1 o'clock, a few afternoons ajrp.
On the morning after the calamity thirty
seven bodies had been recovered from the
mine, and it was known that many others
were Imprisoned In the fiery furnaca.
The first news of the trajyedy was received
In Seattle by Manager Smith, of the mine
compmy, In the shape of a -telegram from
the Mine Superintendent at Franklin. This
message stated that the mine was afire and
many miners, both white and colored, were
imprisoned. Later, a second telegram was
received reading substantially as follows :
"Thirty-seven dead boiles have been taken
out, and it Is supposed that there are mora
lo he recovered."
Manager Smith, upon receipt of the first
telegram, sent out a special train bearing
Superintendent Corey and a crew to assist
In subduing the flames, It posslblo, and
ordering them to take care of the company'3
prop-jrtv and rescue the Imprisoned men.
The officials refused to give out any Infor
mation whatever beyond the fact that the
mine caught fire and that thirty-seven deaJ
bodies had already been removed.
The fire caught In Breast No. 62 In the
sixth level, but of the cause nothing could
be learned. The last report was to the ef
feet that the Are was still raging, and herolj
efforts were bsing made to recover otaerj
known to be in the mine.
A late telegram from the scene states that
the thirty-seven men killed probably dlei
from being suffocated by the smoke, as the
bodies do not show burns oi a fatal nature.
What proportion of the dead men are white
and what proportion colored could not be
learned, but the officera said they ar3
equally divided.
Another dispatch from the railroad oper
ator at Franklin said the wives, children and
comrades of the dead men were crowding
around tho mouth of the mine, frantic with
grief. Thelt lamentations were heartrend
ing, moving the strongest to tears.
A telegram at 4.30 o'clock p. m. stated thai
the fire was thought to be out and the damage
not be so extensive as at first supposed, Thf
6moke had the effect of deceiving the men al
to the extent of the fire.
KILLED HIS OWN CHILD.
Wounded It by Accident and Could
Not Bear to See It Suffer.
Dr. Anderson O'Malley, a New York phy
sician who has been In San Antonio. Texas,
for three weeks, shot his three-year-old
child accidentally, and then killed it to end
Its mlserv.
The Doctor and his wife have been very
nervous about burglars, and, hearing a
door creak, tne latner trot up, ana witn
cocked revolver went Into the children's
room, but saw no one. He poked his lit
tle nephew and son with the pistol to causa
them to turn over. Then the weapon
went off accidentally, and the ball en
tered the child's side. The father then put
the pistol to the wounded child's head and
pulled the trigger.
He said the wound was mortal and he
could not bear to seethe little one suffer.
He is under arrest and almost, if not quite,
insane.
Texas is to have a cotton palace, to be
opened November 6, an I to continue jne

estimated at 250,030 bales, which Is morj
than a quarter of tho whole cotton crop of
the country.

The Mysteries ot Medicine.
"When a person takes a dose of
medicine," said a doctor yesterday,
"he never stops to consider what a
wonderful provider nature is. When
you consider that we are able to give
drugs which will go through the en
tire system without having an effect
upon any part or organ until it comes,
perhaps, to some nerve upon which it
expends all its force, it is indeed a
miracle of the most wonderful kind.
We don't know why it does it, but we
know what it does. The progrei in
materia medica has been wonderiul.
By provings the specific effects of
drugs have been discovered, so that
they can be given with specific re
sults. Medicine is gradually emerg
ing from the dark valley of guess
work in the bright sunlight of science.
The modern physician does not
make a mixture of seven or eight
drugs, hoping that some one of them
will produce the eflect desired. lie
does not take chances upon striking a
remedy one in seven. He knows now
just what drug will produce the re
sults he wants and he prescribes that.
I attended a man the other day who
had not been sick for twenty or thirty
years. I went into his room and,
after observing his symptoms, asked
for half a glass of water, into which I
dropped a small pellet, a triturate.
The old man looked at me after 1 had
given him a dose of it and then
smiled. 'Well, doctor,' he said, 'you
treated me for this complaint when I
was bick many years ago, and I must
say the remembrance of the taste of
the medicine you gave mo then is still
vivid. I don't think that a person
could have mixed a more horrible con
cootion than that was. Now you
treat me for the same disease and the
drug is almost tasteless. How do you
account for that?' 'Progress,' I re
plied. And progress it is! Every
day increases our knowledge of drugs
and our power to alleviate suffering
and save human life." Pittsburgh
Dispatch.
Nltro-Ulycerlnc.
Nitro-glycerine is a compound pro
duced by the action of a mixture of
strong nitrio and snlphurio acids on
glycerines at low temperatures. It is
a light yellow, oily liquid, inodorous,
but having a sweet, pungent, aro
matic taste. A single drop, placed on
the back of the tongue, produces
headache and pain in the back which
lasts for several hours. It dissolves
readily in ether, alcohol and methy
lated spirits, but is only slightly sol
uble in water. This substance was
discovered in 1847 by a gentleman
named Sobrero, then a student in a
Paris laboratory, and afterward a pro
fessor in Turin. It remained simply
an object of scientific interest until
1864, when it began to be manufac
tured on a large scale for the purpose
of blasting, by a Swedish resident of
Hamburg, named Nobel, who called it
"patent blasting oil." New York

A Smoke-Proof. Helmet.
A device which the fire laddies are
particularly anxious to try is a smoke
proof helmet which was recently ex
hibited with much success in Austria.
It is tho invention of Chief Inspector
Muller, second in command of tho
Vienna fire brigade. The appliance is
lined with chamois skin, and has an
air-life tube for use in cellars or in un
derground buildings when on fire.
The air tube is spirally protected and
cannot bend or split ; the end is at
tached to the helmet and the air
pumped through. The helmet is se
curely fastened to the shoulders by
two thin chains passed under the arm
pits. It was subjected to a rigid exami
nation in the court of the Central Fire
Brigade in Vienna, and made a good
impression on delegates from a num
ber of European countries. The fire
proof cellar which the firemen thus
equipped entered was full of the den
sest smoke. The fire fighters had no
trouble in remaining in the cellar for
quite a time, while those who had no
helmets could only venture as tar as
the entrance. A large number of Eng
lish firemen were present, and tho
new helmet is soon to bo given a trial
in the Queen's domain.
KNOWLEDGE
Bring8 comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world's best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
m the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the Jaste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by -all drug,
gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name ia printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Swimming CaTalry, "
Borne very interesting exercises in
swimming cavalry took place lately
on the Cabui River, at Peshawur. Tho
Thirteenth D. C. O. Bengal Lancers
have been practicing their horses in a
large tank in their , lines and on the
river for some time. One squadron
took cover along the river bank and
kept up a steady fire to protect the
passage of tae other squadron, who
placed all their arms, accouterments
and clothes in large country boats,
and conducted their horsos into the
water. Some horses seemed to thor
oughly enjoy themselves in the water ;
others became unmanageable from
fear. However, tho opposite bank
was reached and war paint resumed,
and the squadron was with most cred
itable rapidity taking measures to pro
tect their comrades, who then crossed
in like manner. Broad Arrow.
