Cooperative housekeeping on a small
scale is about to be tried in London.
The new cooperative household will go
into operation about Christmas. The
building, which is very high, is near St.
Anne's Gate, Westminster, and is said
to resemble a cotton mill. On the
ground floor is dining room, with an
other for private dining parties; also the
kitchen, hopsekeeper's room. pantries
&c. Above this are several stories, con.
sisting of moderate-sized suits of rooms
conveniently arranged. There are no
dining rooms, however, attached to the
suits, and every one is supposed to dine
down stairs. The view from the three
upper flats is very fine. The entire
management is to be in the hands of
a committee chosen from the lesees of
the suits. and they are to be their own
caterers. The whole will be run on the
principal adopted in some of the most
successful London clubs.

A Hint Warth Remembering.

A simple and usually successful mode
of extracting a needle or any piece. of
steel or iron broken oft in the flesh is
accomplished by the application of a
simple pocket magnet. Anacquaintance
of ours had little daughter who recent
ly broke needle off in her hand. A
surgeon called who msdc several at
tempts to find the needle by probing and
incision, but without success. After the
surgeon had left the mother conceived
the idea of trying magnet; one was
procured and after one or two applica-
tons of it the broken fragment of the
needle was discovered attached to the
magnet. The, idea will he of especial
utility tn workers in iron. Machine
shop surgery is not the least delicate or
least painful, though men her"icallv un-
dergo it rather than stand the loss OF
time due to an iniilmeI eye or festered
finger. Iron filings have Il way of i'm
bedding themselves in the eye which
defies almost every ordinary means for
their removal, a small. blurt, painted
bar of steel, well magnetized, will be
found excellent, and we <',,.uiI recon
mend that workmcn liable 20 such acct
dents keep such an instrument about
them. 1t would be Il good plan to insert
such bar in pankni:c, in manner

Kansas Yields.

The Kansas Farmer states that Mr., ].
A. Bent, we'll known in this State and in
Illinois as an intelligent citizen and a
close observer, made pleasant call at
the Office of the Farmer and reported the
following extraordinary yields Of wheat.
He said
81 met at Wichita an Illinois farmer,
J. Wilday, Esq, from Morgan county,
ILL.,, who gave me so wonderful an &C.
count of his crops that I felt inclined to
accept his invitation and 90 to Augusta,
in Butler county, and see if there was
exaggeration. He resides at the fork of
the Walnut and Whitewater, and has a
noble bottom farm of some 500 acres. He
thinks his crop generally as good as he
ever saw in Illinois. He has already
gathered corn from different fields and
he finds that the yield is from sixty to
eighty bushels per acre. He obtained
sopet Gold Drop variety of seed wheat
last fall aad drilled it in on a small patch
which he called six and half acres. 1t
was land that had been cropped to wheat
for several years; was not MANFRED or
fortified. The yield was S65 bushels of
machine or rounded measure. This was
SO much greater than ordinary large
yields that l was inclined to be very
particular in order to see if any mistake
had been made. went to the barn to
see the wheat and have bushel weighed
He had sold part at Sl.25 per bushel
for seed had sowed large part of it
himself. The hired man, who measured
it at the threshing, at my request meas
ured bushel as be did before. and it, |
rounded little, weighed sixty-four and
one-tourth pounds. We then measured
a struck bushel, and it weighed sixty
two and one-fourth pounds. then went
to the field, and with q two rod line
measured the ground and found it to be
6.2l acres. In short, the yield was sos
bushels of sixty pounds, per acre. This
crop stood perfectly uniform as to hight,
some feet, and was 50 thick and firm
that hat flung upon it would be upheld.
Several Others report forty-five bushels
per acre. CAPT. q. A. Lee, of Rock, in
Cowley county, had Lie bushels from
twenty acres. His wheat of the early
May variety, weighed sixty-three and a
half pounds per bushel. VIM. kellison,
Mt Marion Center, had 10 bushels yield
from Two and one-half acres" i

Domestic Ee Eomy.

Mrs. Kate Hunnibee. in the New
York Tribune, says: cit seems to me
we Americans spend too much money on
our stomachs and too little for intellec-
tuai pabulum and enjoyments. When
there is any cconomizing 70 be done in
the family, it generally falls to the
women. They must wear their old
clothes, give up the magazines, DO with
less help, but no one ever suggests that
the family should eat more stewed meat
and less roasted, more bread and butter
and less dessert; yet it is just here that
economy can be most effectively prac-
ticed with no material diminution of en-
joymenis. l have been very much in
terested lately in small economies, for
pin money has grown 50 scarce that l
am obliged to squeeze mine out of the
butcher. Not literally, of course; but
buy the cheap pieces, and cook them so
deliciously that the family do not know
the difference. They only think the
oven is out of order and will not roast.

A Word to Farmers.


We desire to say single wn-d 10 the
farmers of the northwest. /, time of
peace prepore for war, in time Of plenty
prepare for the days when famine threat
ems. The soil of this country is rich
enough for any purpose; but there are
seasons when the dews Of heaven do not
descend upon the just or the unjust, and
thousands are called upon to mourn one
year what they squandered the previous
one. Granaries, filled in one month,
have been found empty the next, and
pitiful starvation has existed where
plenty once abounded.
Think not of what you raise but of
what you can save. If man makes
$1,000 a year, and spends double that
amount, he isn't a bit richer when the
3lst of December comes only left to
tell the world what be might have been,'
and the world don't care a picayune
about hearing the story.
Every good farmer should keep on
hand in bounteOus years, at least enough
toanticipate those seasons so apt to &C.
cur when there may be partial or total
failure of crops. Good barns and good
cribs and bins are far more profitable
than big houses. The old Pennsylvania
Dutchman believes that house in no
time, and his prosperity has been pro-
verbal. He always keeps three years
crops ahead instead of one.
The past two seasons should teach our
farmers lesson. If they do not profit
by it, it will be their own fault. Save
what you have.-S Joe Gazette.

cit appears from the record in the office of the
Secretary Of State that the counties of COmanche,
Harper and Ness pOlled sl2 votes ut the general
election of 1873. The counties Of Kingman, Pratt
and Wallace polled 422 votes in 1874. There have
been no returns from these counties for 1875.
Allowing four inhabitants to the voter. it will
give these counties, at the period named, pop
ulation Of 1855.
THE census returns of Howard township, Elk
comfy, Were transmitted to the County Clerk

the locust visitation of last fall, there

to spend the winter. The census was
taken on the first day of March, before

MAXIMs FOR FAIMERs-It is worth
while for all farmers everywhere to re-
member that thorough culture is better
than three mortgages on their farms.
That good fences always pay better
than lawsuits with neighbors.
That hay is great deal cheaper made
in summer than purchased in winter.
That more stock perish from famine
than founder.
That horse who lays his ears back and
looks lightning when any one approaches
him is vicious. Don't buy him.
That scrimping the feed of fattening
hogs is waste of grain.
That overfed fowls won't lay eggs.
That educating children properly is
money lent at one hundred per cent.
That one evening spent at home in
study is more profitable than ten loung-
ing GROUND country taverns.
That cows should always be MIXED
regularly and clean.
That it is the duty Of every man to
take good. reliable, entertaining paper,
and pay for it promptly, of course. -

WARM FEEr.-Life-long discomfort,
disease and sudden death often come to
children through the inatteBtion or car
lessness IF the parents. A child should
never be allowed to 60 to sleep with
cold feet; the thing to be last attended
to is to see that the feet are dry and
warm neglect of this has often resulted
in dangerous attack of Group, dipthe-
ria, or fatal sore throat. Always on
coming from school, on entering the
house from a visit or errand, in rainy,
muddy weather, the child should remove
its shoes, and the mother should herself
ascertain whether the stockings are the
least damp. II they are they should be
taken of, the feet held before the fire
and rubbed with the hand until perfectly
dry, and another pair of stockings and
another pair Of shoes put on. The re-
verse shoes and stockings should be kept
where they are warm and dry. 50 as to

The efficiency of the United States
Signal Service department has been
clearly displayed on a great number of
occasions. and one particularly on this
coast, whereby no doubt much damage
and disaster was saved to shipping in
this harbor. The last, and perhaps one
of the most notable instances of its eff
cheney. was evinced on the occasion of
the late cyclone, which hurst with such
terrific violence on the coast of Texas.
This storm originated, probably in the
Caribbean sea, or to the eastward thereof
and thus mostly outside the stations of
observation. either under the direction
of the Bureau or connected with it. But
certain marked atmospheric disturbances
were noted upon its northesn margin in
Georgia and Florida, from which it was
inferred, three days before it reached
Texas, that cyclone was raging some
where in the ncighborhood of Cuba. The
CIV" i"i'o uSeiueu vi tHe
18th ult., and danger signals were or
dered up along the Atlantic coast from
southern Florida to Cape Hatteras. On
the 18th the indications we're still more
decided, but it was evident that the cy-
clone was moving more directly west
than was at first supposed, and it was
ordered that the signals on the Atlantic
coast should be lowered, and those on the
Cult from Monroe to Texas should be
raised. Had there been stations at Gal
weston and Jndianola, danger signals
could have been ordered up there also.
The next day, Sept. l3th, the storm burst
with the most intense fury on the coast
of Texas, where it wrought the terrible
destruction, the full particulars Ct which
are now reaching us by mall.-Pacifc

Potatoes for Horses.

L. 7. Scott writes in the Country Gen
Reman Nearly every winter when !
have my horses up in stables, l think
that l will call the attention of your
readers to the practice of feeding potatoes
to their horses. once came very near
losing very valuable horse from feeding
him dry hay and oats with nothing loos-
ening. l have never believed in dosing
a horse with medicine, but something is
actually necessary to keep horse in the
right condition. Many use powders, but
potatoes are better and safer. and cheap
er, if fed jndiciously.
If those who are not in the habit of
feeding potatoes to horses will try them,
they will he astonished at the result. l
have known horse changed from lazy,
dumpish one, to quick, active, head
strong animal, in five days, by simply
adding two quarts of potatoes to his feeds
daily. If very much clear cornmeal is
ted they do not need so many potatoes:
Tco many potatoes are weakening, and
SO are TOO many apples. When ! was
lad l was away from home at school one
winter, and had the care of one horse,
one yoke Of, oxen and one COW, every one
of which l had to card or curry every
day. The horse had three pals of water,
four quarts of oats, two quarts small po-
tatoes, and two quarts of corn meal extra
every day he worked with what hay he
wanted, and stronger, and more active
horse of his inches 1 have never yet seen.
