FAT BABIEs.-Fatness is no more an
indication of health than leanness, both
of which, in the extreme, are evidences
of disease. If babies, like pigs, we're de-
signed for the market, it mig be desira-
bic to have them very fat and plump
They are often too fat for health or com.
fort, and especially liable to attacks of
the Group and kindred diseases. This
fatness results from too much food for the
small amount of exercise, and from
wrong food, such as an excess of sweets
and oily food. Babies using the bottle
should have milk as nearly resembling
the mothers as possible, which is made
by adding one-third water to cows milk.
The mothers milk contains less cream,
which shows the folly and wickedness of
of feeding babe on cream and water;
When child is too lean it is we'll to add
cream, and when too fatto reduce the milk
in richness. The fat babes often sleep too
much and the lean ones too little. Give
the fat ones less food, less sweets and
cream, and more air and exercise.

The lady, trembling, did not respond.
The evangelist paused for about the same
space as before, motionless. And now
with voice still more resolute and fer
vid, he repeated for the third time the
pledge. After momentary interval of
silence, the new convert said:
''And now, 0 Lord, I give my life to
Thee !"
Mr.. Moody rose, took his weeping
charge by the hand with the words, "Ma-
dam, devoutly thank God!' and led her
quietly to the door. She has ever since
been actively employed in religious work.

The PLANTER TOO MUCH FOR THE
JUDGE.---Judge Grant was in Little
Rock, Ark, couple of weeks ago, in at
tendance at the United States Court.
One morning he saw farmer with a
slouch hat and genuine butternut suit,
trying to sell COW in the market there.
1t was large, long-horned animal, and
the planter was informing q man that the
COW would give four quarts of milk day,
if fed we'll.
Up stepped the Judge. "What do you
ask for the cow" "About $50. She'll
give five quarts of milk, if you'll feed her
WE'LL" replied the planter, and he pro-
ceeded to describe her good qualities.
Said the Judge, 81 have COWS on my
farm, not much more than half as big as
your cow, which give twenty to twenty
five quarts of milk day."
The planter eyed the Judge sharply for
moment, as if trying to remember
whether he had ever seen him before or
not, and then asked: stranger, where

A SHORT Corn CRoP.-Colonel Fin
negan was Florida planter, wealthy
and hospitable. Toward the poor he was
always kind, and even the shiftless he
would not turn coldly away. A man
who had often been the subject of this
bounty was named Jake Hartruff. Jake
was squatter in the woods where he
had log cabin, and small clearing.
Upon this land he sometimes raised corn,
and with his gun he captured game. Oh
the game he ate the flesh, and the skins
he traded for whisky. Long before the
winter was over he was sure to be out Of
corn, in which emergency he would
bring his bag to the Colonel for supply,
which was generally furnished. Once
upon time Jake came with his bag very
early in the season-in fact, winter had
just set in.
"Why, how's this, Jake?" demanded
Finnegan. Seems to me you are rather
early in your call for corn"
"Well, Colonel, fact is my crop failed
this yer season."
"Failed! How is that! l thought it
had been an uncommonly good season
for corn"
"Yaas, s'posc it has, Colonel. But
y'see-I forgot to plant"

On the night Read.

We are of the opinion that The
resolution offered by Hon. G. W..
Click, of Atchison, which we copy
below, is q move in the right direc-
ton. We do not endorse this res
olution in the sense of war upon
railroads, but from the conviction
that they ought to be made to COM
ply strictly with the terms of their
charters and with the laws for their
regulation. We trust that this
matter will be pushed through
promptly, and If 1t is fonnd the
companies have violated fheir char
tiers or the laws of the state in any
respect, let them suffer the c0nse-
Quences. We appreciate the great
advantages the rail roads have been
to Kansas, but on the other hand
the railroad companies should ap-
preciate the obligations they are
under to the people of Kansas, not
only for the business they are now
doing, but for the immense help
they have received principally from
the liberality of the people of the
State. The roads generally have
shown too much of q disposition
to override the rights and interests
of the people. We simply ask our
rights and fair treatment from com.
panies, and are willing that they
shall have every privilege and ben
eft to which they are justly emit
tied. They should be treated Just
as other interests are treated, and
made to conform to the laws just "a
Otehr people Engaged in other in
dustries conform to them. After
the inquiry 10 made by the Attor-
ney-General if the roads are found
in default let them suffer the con-
sequences, even to the forfeit OF
their charters.
The following is the resolution

sentatiVes of Kansas, the senate

Mr.. PHILLIPs.-They estimated

Is there a man on this floor who
does not believe that these are the
together. And if it does so, it is a
wise appropriation. The nation
that hiss spent four millions a day
in war can afford s. million aud a
half once in a hundred years to
render civil wars impossible. Those
who lately sought TO destroy the

take; but they are high-strung, like

ring TO first principles, there on the

will together swear eternal fealty to

Sweet" and "Allen Creek" seem to
have no thought of right and justice.
Are you, Mr.. ST., appointed judge in
this matter? If so, / suppose L had
better quit. But / will ask you one
question. Who have the better right
to Kansas soil-the settler that endured
the privations of frontier life, of 1860,
of tour years war, and many other
things incidental to the settling of a
new country, or the Spectator who
sets quietly in his home and through
agents purchased his land? / will
leave this for you to solve.
Perhaps the railroads should have
the Legislature fence the land that the
government gave them.
Your mathematical problem got
slightly muddled, however. 100000
600 don't amount TO much. for that is
about as close as you folks generally
get to the truth. Why didn't you hunt
up the crop returns of 1874, and COM
pare them with the cattle interest? Or
of 1873, when we only raised very
scanty supply? But these poor crop
years the cattle Interests were on the
increase. There are several more years
in which We farmers did not get ahead
in the crop business, but would have
suffered had it not been for the stock.
Did you ever grow any hedge fence,
my dear sir? If not, you had better
go to Uncle John Fowler, and ask the
price. He has five miles of hedge on
his little farm, and says the cost of
it is hardly perceptible. 1t is too bad
you had TO go up in the northeast cor
her of the United States to hunt I'D
some old agricultural reports.
Now, instead of taking that wild
goose chase after figures why did you
not find out by asking some practical
farmer? The figures of Maine do not
suit our case. A fence need never be
rebuilt in Kansas, unless the owner
chooses to rebuild it. 1 can very we'll
see that your delicate hands don't like
hedge brush.
When Kansas has advanced as far as
Ohio she, too, can have a similar law,
without wronging any one.
ooh, no, my dear boy, we do not
want to rule any one" Well, now,
dear dad, if you don't want to rule.
what is all this fuss about?
Now, dad, 1 never thought that
majority of the people wanted the

cent that ! thought that it was the
priesthood and a despot who was on
the throne. However, judging from
your manner, L suppose you were liv-
ing at that time and are therefore good
Now, then, dad. this subject has been
before the people for some time, and l
guess majority of nineteen twentieths
is pretty safe and will do to rely on.
In all this discussion the advocates
of this law have separated the stock
raiser from the farmer-as if they were
two different classes. They are not.
They are one and the same. When you
advance your no stock ideas you seek
to injure the farmer. That farming
and stock-raising must go together, no
one, with his senses about him, will |
deny. Yours, A.
