Pasturing Meadows.

If tell you, says s. j. Wooley, in the
ONO Farpter, that pasturing your mead
ows will make them more productive,
you may doubt it. But such is the fact,
IN many cases, 1t is my experience that
this Is the only way that very many
meadows can be brought to full product
iveness. Bat itmust be done in the prop
er manner and at the right time. Do
not pasture your meadows in the spring
and expect them to produce full crop;
neither should you pasture off the after
math too close. Nearly all of our mead
ows have Jailed to produce more than
halt crop after from five to eight years,
and after pasturing them one season, the
next year they would produce good
crop. In one particular instance rent
ed meadow to aman for pasture; II
had only produced half a crop of hay for
TWO or more years previous. lie pd'
ABOUT three times as much stock on 1t as
should have been; it was grazed close 70
the ground all summer. | concluded
that II would not amount to ANYTHING tor
meadow or pasture aiterward any more
but the next spring it looked so strong
and vigorous that | LET it alone and il pro-
duced full crop. have never seen this
accounted Tor, or seen anything in print IN
reference to it, but have no doubt that the
experience of others will coincide wiz
my own. l can account for it only in the
following manner: II is well-knowni
Tact that many old meadows are so full OF
worms that they cut nearly all the grass
roots oil, and in places you can roll the
sod back like fleece OF wool The worms
are 50 near the surface that the crows ana
the edheaded woodpeckers destroy gres'
quantities of them the flicker or yellow
hammer mostly lives on them also. Ii the
meadows are tramped all over with farm
stock, these worms will all be tramped 10
death.

How to Prevent Fires in the Country.

l. Remember that in country places the
conveniences for putting out fires which
exist in villages cannot be had; consequently
use the greatest possible care to prevent a
confagration.
2. Keep buildings and furniture we'll in
sured, and be careful not to let the insur
ance run out
). Never smoke or allow any one else to
smoke in barn, shop, shed, or around
buildings or aystacks. Many man has
been foolish enough to smoke himself out
of house and home, and many hired man
has set the buildings of his employer on
fire in the same way.
4. Keep fountain pump or portable fire
extIngusher always on hand and always in
working order. A few days ago fixed up
my pump, which had got a little out of
order, and to day it has done effective SER
vice in protecting neighbours house from
the flames. If every man who went to the
fire had carried one of these hand pumps,
the house that was burned might have been
saved Every neighborhood ought to be
well supplied with them.
.. Keep matches in safe place; when
laid around loose, rats sometimes ignite
them, and children frequently set buildings
on fire by playing with these convenient
though dangerous articles.
q. Never connect house and barn by
shed, or even high tight fence. A space
of at least thirty feet should always be left
between two buildings, and sixty feet is
much better. If they are now connected
it will be long step in the way of protec-
ton to remove the shed or connecting fence.
In case of fire it may be the means of saw
ing either the house or the barn.
Z. Never lay greasy rags around in build
ings. \ neishbor once stuck handful of
rags with which he had been cleaning his
wagon axleS and machines into brace in
his barn. Awhile after peddler passing
by saw flame, called help, and put out the
fire which had been originated by the greasy
rags.
9. Never put hay into barn so green as
to incur any danger of spontaneous COM
bustion. In short, avoid all causes of fire,
and even the shadow and appearance of
evil. We cannot afford to lose our build
ings. In order to save them we must be
extremely careful in the use of fire.

use of stimulating food or beverages AL
though she has endured all conceivable
exposures and hardships in her long life in
the mountain wids, she has subsisted en-
tirely upon vegetable food, and drank no
coffee, tea or wine of any kind. The fact
that she was of delicate constitution in
early life helps to sustain the illustration
which she now presents of the physiology
cal virtue of hygienic habits. In physical
activity as well as in the availability of her
mental culture, she is the admiration of
her acquaintance.
Thus far hers has been, indeed, a busy
life; yet, in the midst of great obstacles,
she came to the Centennial Exposition of
industry and genius, into which were gath
cred the products of the world, and won
there name of which she may be proud.
Distinguished foreigners, approaching her
work, have delighted to notice her with
honor. She illustrates what a woman can
do who is devoted to something, having a
capacity for it, and purpose to achieve it
can do and still be womanly.

THE Iowa MAD STONE" THE history
of the "Iowa maidstone" as it is cur
rently reported, is curious and interesting.
Its wonderful properties have been known
about 135 years, and its fame has spread
throughout all the country in the vicinity of
its owner, Mr.. Evans. The greatest re-
Hence is placed upon its virtues in all cases
of hydrophobia. 1t is said that $50 cures
have been effected by lie present owner
The stone is very small and locks some
thing like dark sponge, except that the
pores are not SO large. Before operating
with the stone is heated in milk and water:
the patient is made to exercise until the
blood circulates freely; then the skin near
the bite is scratched until the blood comes,
and the stone applied. When filled with
virus, it is taken off, soaked in warm milk
and water, and the application reported
until the stone will not adhere to the flesh.
Sometimes an many as one or two hundred
applications are necessary. 1t cannot be
easily removed from an infected person, so
great is its power of suction; but upon the
flesh of person not inoculated with the
poison of rabid animal it has no more
effect than an ordinary pebble, unless he is
diseased with alt-rheum or scrofula.-
Such is the marvellous history of the 'Iowa

OUR PALACE CAR.-The most wonderful

which We live. Large enough to hold the
human family, its resources are, with proper
care and effort on the part of the passen.
gers, sufficient to sustain them all comfort
ably with a great deal to spare. 1t supplies
its own fuel and makes its own time. Its
speed is about IS, 600 miles per hour, yet so
accurately does it move that those who
have well studied its movements can tell to
a fraction in what part of it's airline track
it will be on any future day. With good
field glasses, other palace cars, equal in
b aauty and grandeur to this, can easily be
seen flying along the highways of sp ICE,
yet none of these are ever known to come
in collision. UnconscioLsly to the passen-
gers, gravi!ation tends greatly to keep the
passengers in their places; but cho or aohat
controls gravitation This magnificent
palace car has the heavens for it's roof,
Nesuvius and Etna for chmneys, seas and
oceans for water-tanks, natural scenery suf-
ficient to charm the eye and feast the soul
with, combination of beauty and sublimity.
The only depot or stopping place is at
the gates OF Death, where all must leave
whether pleased with the journey or not.
Thus we are swiftly borne ON from birth to
death on this wonderful line of travel, and
at the terminus commissioned authorities
of higher order are expected to receive
and conduct us all to higher destiny and
better life than this.-Nethodist.

The FUEL OF THE FUTURE = Gas to Take
the Place Of Coal and Wood-Enormous
Waste Of Heat in Furnaces and .Stoces-
There is probably no branch of engineer
ing skill in which so little improvement
has been made and in which there is SO
wide and inviting field for the exercise of
ingenuity as in the utilization of fuel.
We confidently anticipate the introduce
tion before many years of heating-gas for
general domestic use; but though this will
be attended with an enormous economy in
the consumption of coal, we see nothing in
it to injuriously effect the coal trade. Ex-
perience has shown that every economy in
the use Of fuel has been followed by such
great and rapid development of the in
dustries using coal that the total consump-
ton of this has increased instead of di-
minished. If but half of the coal now
consumed in this city were converted into
heating gas at some central works, and dis
tributed, as illuminating gas now is, it
would more than do the work now done by
the coal sold. But with the great reduc-
ton in the cost, and facility in the use of
heat, it would quickly be employed in a
multitude of ways not now thought of; and
not only the cooking and heating would be
done by gas, but much of the work done
by our servants would be performed by
machinery; manufacturing of all kinds,
and particularly those small industries that
can be carried on in private houses, would
multiply to an unheard of extent. Our
mills and machine Shops factories and fur
naceS, able to save enormously in their fuel
item, would find wider markets for their
