Why Women Lose their Beauty.

Shut UP in the house nine-tenths Of
their time with either no exercise, or
that which is of limited, irksome
sameness they are, of consequence,
unnaturally pale, soft and tender;
their blood is poorly organized, their
muscles small and fiabby; and the
force and functions of their body as a
whole run low in the scale of life. A
spurious fullness is often seen in the
outline during girlhood, which usually
melts like snow under an April sun
whenever the endurance, is put to the
test, as performing the functions of a
mother. The change in the appear
ance from the maiden of one year to
the mother of the next Is often SO
striking and endI ring that we some
times think we are not looking on the
same person. The round pleasing
shape is prematurely displaced by a
sharp angularity, and an untimely and
unseemly appearance of age. Travel
ers from other countries who have had
extensive means for observation and
comparison, have remarked upon the
great beauty Of American women and
the early age at which it is lost.
Some have ascribed this to the climate;
but more intelligent observers agree
that it is a dollhouse enervating mode
oflife. English ladies of rank, who by
the way are celebrated for keeping
their beauty even to a ripe old age,
think nothing of walking a half a
dozen miles at time; while Ameri-
can ladies would think such a thing

Berries or Pills (which i?

Few persons realize the Importance
of small fruits and berries in SAM
tary point of view, apart from their
actual monied profit. 1t has been
found that with the rapid increase in
the consumption Of such fruits and
berries in cities, corresponding i'm
provement has been manifest in the
general health of population. In a CHI
mate like this, we especially need such
articles of food. The coming on Of
hot weather brings with it a tendency
to hillary troubles, for which the pleas
ant sub-acid flavor of berries, with
their relaxing effect, is the remedy
provided by Nature. 1t is much bet
ter than many boxes of Wanted and
widely-advertised 'liverpills." Each
family owning small house-yard,
can raise all the berries needed for its
own use; no need of large ranch.
Berries have sold readily during the
last two or three years at ten cents
per pint. This involves quite heavy
outlay for the supply of even small
family during the season. Plant them
in your own yard Setting the plants
three feet apart will give great many
blackberry and raspberry bushes to a

the fence training them up against
the boards facing the sunlight. You
will be astonished how much small

OUR SECOND VOLUME.

To-day the HERALD starts on its
second volume. No great enterprise
is ever carried to success unless its
managers are men of great energy and
united. 1t is overcoming difficulties
that measures the greatness of the
success. That which any one can do
is only a common thing. The brief
history Of the HERALD has been
eventful, and now it has before it, we
believe, good mission. A joint stock
company-capital stock $4,000, of
which some $l2, 800 is already taken
by our business men and farmers-ha
the management of the establishment.
They are determined to secure able
men to conduct the different depart
ments of the paper. The paper will
be conducted in the interests of the
county, and not in the selfish interests
of any person or party. We believe
the people want this kind Of paper; if
they do, then come forward at once and
subscribe for itand advertise in it, and
whenever it turns from its proposed
line of work and persists in it, then
drop it. Do not delay action ito see
how the paper goes first" but support
1t at once if you approve it, and do so
from week to week while it suits you.
You can drop it at any time.

How to Save Young Trees from
t-s Rabbits. p"

Mr.. Davis, of the Kelsey Nursery of
Oakland, tells us that fine orchard
of young trees was saved from rabbits
in the following way: The owner
killed a few rabbits and then disem-
boweled them. He then rubbed he
young trees up and down with the
warm bloody flesh, after which the
rabbits would noe touch tree. The
reason is this: rabbits live on vegeta-
BILE food alone, they will not eat flesh
of any kind. The smell and taste of
the blood drives them away at once.
Try it; you will at least lessen the
number of rabbits by the ones you ex-
pertinent on the trees with. faE

Manure Against Buildings.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes: "AIanure is Il
most destructive material when it
comes in contact with woodwork Of
any kind. 1t is often difficult, how
ever, to avoid piling it against build
ings beneath stable windows, where
1t is certain to cause decay in the
Notwithstanding and sill unless some
precaution is taken. Even if it re-
main but a short time the effect will
be destructive. 1t is possible to pre-
vent this injury to the building, al
though injury is inevitable if the ma
nure is allowed to remain in direct
contact with it. 1t is necessary to
provide a passage for air between the
manure and the building, as manure
never causes decay in wood unless it
touches it. BY mailing light scant-
ling horizontally to the building i'm
mediately beneath the stable windows
also in the same position at the bot
tom of the sill, and mailing boards
upon them perpendicularly, as in a
tight board fence, passage for air is
produced which will prevent all in
jury to the building. Old boards, if
sound, will answer. 1t is question
able indeed if in this case the manure
will not act as preservative, as it is
a powerful absorbent of water and
attracts moisture from all substances
around it. Even if decay has already
commenced this precaution will pre-
vent further action"

Something Besides Wheat.

Would it not be well to stop pur-
suing this ignis fatus Of European
markets for wheat and pay more at
tention to other grains? Corn pays
better, and so do oats and potatoes
than does this grain. Fitty-seven per
cent. of the inhabitants Of Minnesota
are now engaged in its cultivation,
while sheep and cattle-raising and
general farming languish. Every
other product this season is paying
better than wheat, which is hardly
returning the amount Of money spent
on it. Corn and oats are paving
nearly $40 per acre Potatoes bring
seventy-tive cents per bushel, while
horses, cattle, hogs, and sheep always
find a ready market, alta remunera-
tive price. Let us show the Com
missioner of Agriculture, who made
a statement, the other day, that,
Minnesota was only happy when
Europe was starving" that we can
live and prosper even if not a bushel
of our products go across the water.

We have frequently heard vine
yardists remark on the Importance of
the rows of vines on the trellis run
ming north and south, i'll order that
the sun may shine on both sides.
Has this theory ever been tested by
careful experiment? If the rows are
east and west, the sun will shine on
them all day. Is the result any bet
ter when the rays strike first one side
and then the other, than continuous
shining on vine? May we not ap-
ply the shrewd philosophy of the
Hibcrnian, who bought but one spur
for his horse on the principle that if
one side of the horse moved the 9th
er must? An intelligent farmer
lately urged the Importance of plant
ing drilled corn north and south, for
the same reason. The inquiry occur
red, is it not as well to have the sun
shine all day on one side of stalk,
as half the time on each? The ques-
ton is, has this opinion been estab-
lished by closely conducted expert
ment, OF is it mere hypothesis passed
without testing from one person to
another.

Successful Farmers.

Does farming pay? Does anything
but farming pay? Is itnot the source
Of all individual wealth-the founda-
ton Of our national prosperity? 1t
is trre, farmers do not, as Il general
thing, get large salaries; not many of
them are millionaires; wealth does
not come in upon them like water in
leaky boat. They generally give
an equivalent for what they get, and
learn the real value of a dollar by the
amount Of labor they have to give in
acquiring it. Sometimes the tide Of
events turns i'll their favor. Like men
in other occupations, we hear most
about the rich and successful. Real
success and true manhood are not
to be measured by the amount Of
wealth that one acquires. We like
rich men best who are rich in good
works; whose wealth is overshadow-
ed by wealth Of heart. But very
often those who roll in wealth are
not kind and true; the best spokes in
their wheel of fortune are spokes of
greed and selfishness.
Every person who produces more
than he consumes, who is self-sustain-
ing, honest and industrious, is sue
cessful in the best sense of the term.
1t is far better to leave treasure Of
kind thoughts, righteous actions and
hallowed memories, than to leave 4
million of dollars if they were ac-
quired by taking a mean advantage
of the generous and unsuspecting,
who disdain to exchange honor for
wealth.
Men that amass fabulous fortunes
rapidly, by cheating better men than
themselves, are not good men to set
before our young farmers as examples.
1t is better for all when q million men
gain a dollar each, by productive in
dustry on the farm, at the loom or the
anvil, than that one reckless fortunate
adventurer should become million
aire. The greatest good comes to
the greatest number when great num-
bcrs are moderately successful. We
are so anxious to do great things that
the plain duties of everyday life are
apt to be neglected. A farm well
managed, a virtuous life, happy tami-
ly and a comfortable home are hon
ors and success enough. True, last
ing and real success is enjoyed where
a class of men like farmers do well in
the aggregate and during their whole
lives.
The great majority Of farmers, by
living lives of industry and economy
are safe and solvent, and never need
a bankrupt law to protect them
When periods of commercial disaster
sweep over the land, and mercantile
establishments and business men go
down like reeds before the blast,
farmers stand like apple trees in their
orchards, shaking down fruit during
all the storm and gaining strength of
root and vigor OF fiber while battling
with the breeze Country Gentle

Rheumatism in Horses.

inflammation of the muscles and
tendons of the horse is much more
common than is generally supposed,
and many obscure forms of lamencss
may be considered to belong to this
disease. Very often horse after a
wet or cold days work comes out of
the stable Gas stiff as poker" and
scarcely able to walk, upon which
his master fancies he will be laid up
with severe lameness for, perhaps,
some months; but on entering the
stable next morning he is surprised
to lind his horse quite rightagain and

these attacks of rheumatic lameness
IS their liability to shift and change.
the horse on one day being lame in
his near fore-leg and perhaps on the
next refusing to put his off hind foot
to the ground. But sometimes the
disease is persistent in one limb.
though varying in degree; and here
the horse always trots lame on one
leg; at other times both fore limbs
may be affected, either III the shout
ders or i'll the feet; but the difficulty
IS to find out the seat. If before, it
is usually i'll the shoulder or arm. and
if behind, III the muscles of the hip.
Shoulder lameness, when present, is

oats. These are plowed in when full
