Vaccination Not Only a Preventive,
But a Cure.

Mr.. r. G. FURLEY, L. R. G. S., in
letter to the Scotsman, says he is able to
prove that vaccination is not only pre-
ventive of disease, but a cure. 1t is, he
says, ascertained that, when person liable
to take smallpox is exposed to the in
fection, the poison circulates in the blood
for eight days before producing any febrile
symptoms; then commence headache,
sickness, pain in the back, suffused eyes,
and peculiarly white furred tongue-a
group of symptoms that belong to no
other disease, and which last for three
days. 1t has been held and acted on since
Jenner's great discovery, more than eighty
years ago, that it is not only wrong, but
fatal, to vaccinate any one during that
stage of the disease, or the subsequent
one when the eruption makes its appear
ance. But Mr.. Furley says he can show,
from cases under his care at the pres
ent time, that, if you vaccinate during
the febrile stage the fever is slightly in
creased, but the eruption does not make
its appearance, and, if you vaccinate dur
ing the eruptive stage, the eruption is
Immediately arrested. The mature lymph
! overtakes the immature poison, and the
disease terminates. If the eruption has
gone the length of having white tops,
there is danger of infection; if not, it
dies away as pimples. Mr.. Furley feels
confident that, if every doctor were to
vaccinate each case of smallpox that
comes under his care at once, many hun
dreds of lives would be spared and many
| thousands of pounds would be saved.

Root Crop for Hogs.

But a very small percentage of farmers
grow root crops for stock. Occasionally
a patch of carrots or mangolds are found
but as a general thing they constitute no
part of the standard farm products.
Still all experience points to them as
among the most economical crops to be
fed out upon the farms, and at the same
time they constitute healthful and
nutritive article of diet. In a recent let
ter to the Rural World, W. ]. Neeley, of
LaSalle County, Illinois, says that last
year he grew five acres of mangolds,
which yielded about thirty-one tons 10
the acre. He says that hogs are very
fond of them, and in the fall will, when
the other food is scarce, eat them, tops
and ALL He thinks one acre of them will
produce as much food as five acres of
corn. Mr.. J. S. Tibbits writes to the
Michigan Farmer that he raised sugar
beets for his hogs last year. He is ready
to believe them a very valuable food for
fattening hogs, and superior to any other
root crop for stock of all kinds-Prdirie

chief home for twenty years, for it never
got any larger. 1t was affectionate, play
full, and no Greek ever looked with more
reverence upon the goddess of wisdom
and her owl than the children did upon
the kind lady, who was known to carry
this familiar wherever she went.
In Boerne County, Texas, lately, suit
was brought to recover $500, the purchase
money of jackass sold by the plaintiff to
the defendant. The ass was sold on
credit, and the defendant had failed to
come to time. On the case being called
on, the defendant walked into the court
room leading the jack, and ''made a ten
der of him ia open court" Everybody
was convulsed with laughter, even the
judge. The animals head was decked
with a stove-pipe hat, pair of linen
pants covered his fore-legs, large pair OF
spectacles crossed his eyes, and a
placard hung on conspicuous part of
the animal, bearing this Inscription:
'$500-cheap for cash." A "digest" was
opened before him, and it so worked upon
his feelings that he gave vent to one OF
those moving bursts of ''eloquence" for
which these long-eared animals are so
much noted During all this time it was
impossible for the officers of the court to
preserve order or decorum. 1t is need
less to add that the case was discontinued
by the plaintiff.

ram them down one-third their thickness
into the ground, so that they will not rock
or be sunk below the line of the rows by
any heavy superintendent pressure, such
as the weight of hogshead OF molasses
or tierce of vinegar. The bottom OF the
cellar should be graded so that the out
side will be at least two inches lower than
the middle. A mistake sometimes occurs
by grading the cellar bottom in such
manner that the center will be two or
three inches lower than the outside.
When this is the case, should water enter
from the outside, it will flow directly
toward the middle. A Strengthened
board should be placed frequently on
each row of stones as they are being
rammed, so that the upper sides may be
in line with each other. After the
stones are laid and well rammed down,
place few boards on the pavement to
walk on; then make a grouting of clean
sand and water-lime, or Rcsendale
cement, and pour it on the stones until
all the interstices are filed. As soon SIS
the grouting has set, spread layer oil
good cement mortar one inch thick over
the top of the pavement, and trowel the
surface off smoothly. In order to spread
the mortar true and even on the surface,
lay an inch board one foot from the wal
on the surface of the pavement, stand on
the board, and fill the space with mortar
even with the top of the board; after
which, move the board one foot, fill the
space with mortar and trowel it of

THE May number of Scri5ner's Monthly
contains an Illustration of a crazy negro
rushing in front of locomotive and
clearing the track of people. The pic
ture is one of several illustrating a de-
scription of trip "Northward to Mag
ara" We extract that portion relating to
Dick:
An express train follows us into Har-
risburg. As we press through the wait
ing throng that crowds the platform and
overruns the roadway-for the station is
sadly lacking in capacity-a wild looking
son of Ham sweeps down the track, hust-
ling men and women right and left, clear
ing the way for the approaching locomo-

"Crazy Dick" says the executive, as
the apparition speeds past. now dashing
forward to shoulder from the track some
needless loiterer, now falling into heed

"There seems to be method in his mad

Indeed there is, and useful method,
too. Dick saves good many lives in the

his zeal flames out in magnificent burst
of action, to be followed by abject list

Accounts In Agriculture.

ROUTINE is not without its uses, and is
commendable when it has good reason
behind it. Without routine the state
would become official anarchy and the
best appointed army mob. Manufac
tories and railways and other large enter
prises could not be managed without the
practice of those fixed habits which lead
to instructive action.
But because the railway car must always
follow the track, furnishes no reason why
the wheel of the farmers wagon must
always run in the rut made by others.
There Is the most rigid and intelligent
method in the routine of the railway, and
the switch is as indispensable as the MAIN
track. For the farmer to plod on through
mud and over stones, simply because the
rut leads him there, is simple stupidity.
But how is the average farmer, bred to
the pursuit of an agriculture based entire
ly on precedent, and taught to do certain
things periodically because his father did
so, and without close inquiry into the
reasons-how is he, in the dim twilight
of our imperfect knowledge, to determine
where his true road lies, and at what
point he should forsake the old rut and
create a new one? How shall he make
routine his servant, instead of
allowing il to remain his master?
Unless he is man of rare instructive
Judgment, and able to determine what is
truth without a reason-and such men are
few-he can only do this by the aid of
arithmetic. By instituting a system of
minute and accurate accounts, his whole
business becomes practically experimental,
and his farm operations, at the end of the
year, separated and individualized, will
furnish him a series of data by which he
can detect fallacy and verify truth. The
profit and loss of each crop and each pro-
cess of farm management will be made
apparent, and his figures of one year will
become a useful guide for the next. The
aggregate of such a series of accounts for
several years will supply him with a mass
of most interesting and useful facts, by
the aid of which he cannot fail of success
if there is any material for success in him.
If these lines should happen to meet
the eye of any farmer whose present
routine is not satisfactory in its results,
and who has never yet seriously under.
taken to investigate the causes of his
failure, let me urge him to try the virtue
of figures, and to try it noto.
We are beginning new working year,
and the moment is favorable. If he can
not inaugurate thorough system at once,
let him try partial one, which shall still
be thorough so far as it goes. He can
take certain number of acres of hay, OF
corn, or potatoes, and by strict accuracy
in recording the cost and result of differ
ent modes of culture, or of the different
crops, can make beginning that may
mature, hereafter into a perfect and in
valuable system--Hedrth aud Home.

Two or three ears ago company OF
Harrisburg firemen succeeded In enticlng
Dick away from his self-elected duty-not
an easy thing to do-and took him OF
with them on an excursion to Altoona.
Arriving there, Dick straightway forgot
his companions, and fell to guarding the
track as at home. Like many another
public benefactor, Dicks motives were
misjudged. His zeal was attributed to
the wrong spirit, and before his friends
could explain matters he was marched of
to the police station on acharge of drunk
enness. Naturally, the simple-minded
fellow took his arrest very much to heart;
but that was nothing to his distress on
his return to Harrisburg to find that dur
ing his absence a boy had been run over
and killed-the first accident of the kind
that had occurred since Dick came upon
the field.

some day come to tragic end.

A CALIFORNIA journal tells a story of a
gentleman who, having gone extensively
into the Angora goat business, built spa
cious corral, and erected waterproof sheds
to protect his property from the weather.
When the first heavy storm came he
drove the goats into the corral at night.
But on going late in the evening to look
after them, not goat could he find. Just
as he was about TO go away, greatly dis
turbed, he happened to lift his lantern
and his eyes upward, and he beheld the
entire flock of goats perched on the top
of his carefully CONSTRUCTED shed, and ev-
identity enjoying the heavy storm which
was pouring down.

from dyspepsia, biliousness, rheumatism,

disorders, believed him, tried the new re,

If there is always cash market for
