We are glad Inspector Vandever has
authoritatively settled this matter.
Last year, when a reliable gentleman
came from protracted conference
with the Sioux Indians, and began SO.

charitable associations to furnish all

another agent assured us that Il prize

pump apiece all round would fill the
Indian Territory with prosperity and
harmony, we hesitated about giving
the statement our full credence. But
this cooking-Stove story--that we can
believe. There is nothing improbable
about that. We can easily see that
from the day that Columbus landed

MANY who are suffering from t,

Many who are suffering from the eff.
tects of the warm weather and are debilitat-
ed, are advised by physicians to take moder-
ate amounts of whisky two or three times
during the day. In a little while those who
adopt this advice frequently increase the
| number of "drinks," and in time become
confirmed inebriatcs. A beverage which will
not create a thirst for Intoxicating liquors, and
whichis intended especially for the benefit OF
debilitated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is Dr.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
Containing the juices ofmany medical herbs
| this preparation does not create an appetite
for the Intoxicating cup. The nourishing and
the life-supporting properties of1nany valuable
natural productions contained in it and well
known to medical men have most strength
ening influence. A single bottle of the Tonic
will demonstrate its valuable qualities. For
debility arising from sickness, over cxertion
or from any cause whatever, a wine glass full
OF Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an appe-
title for wholesome food. To all who are
! about leaving their homes, we desire to say
that the excellent effects Of DR.. Schenck's
seasonable remedies, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident when
taken by those who are injuriously affected
by a change Of water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking a supply
| Of these safeguards along. For sale by al

Turning Under Clover and Buckwleat.

That there is great fertility in plow-
ing in heavy crop of green clover is
known to all good farmers; but the
question is, when ought it to be turned
over! II it be plowed in when first
in blossom, the land cannot be used
Immediately for any other crop, unless
it be for buckwheat, or some other
green corp to be cut for stock and fed
green. If such crops are wanted, that
system of management would be a
good one; but by cutting the first crop
of clover for hay and turning under
the second crop in the fall of the
year, good opportunity would be had
for large crop of wheat the next
spring. Buckwheat turned under
when in blossom, if grown thick also
enriches land to the value of many
times it's costs. A sub-soil on sandy
land can be made by 4 process of this
kind which will be durable for many
years.

Effect OF RecoiI in fle.shooting.

1t has been q question with marksmen
whether the recoil of pistol or rifle oc-
Cured before the ball left tine bore.
Many have contended that it did not,
and that the tendency of a pistol to
"throw up did not affect its accuracy.
A recent experiment seems to have shown
conclusively that the .recoil occurs be.
fore the bail leaves the, bore and does
affect its diree ton. AZ The experiment
was this "A rifle barrel, twelve inches
long for convenience, was secured to a
solid bed In such o way as to prevent
any movement but that of recoil direct
ly to the rear and upward. In this sit
uation it was fred number of times,
and the balls followed each other into
the same hole in the target. All incline
or wedge was then made fast upon the
bed at the rear of the barrel in such a
way that the breech would be raised as
it slid back in the recoil. Fired under
these conditions, it sent the balls lower
than before. This showed that the re-
coil and subsequent elevation of the
breech occurred in season to effect the
direction of the ball-that is, before it
had left the bore. OF course the length
Of the barrel has an effect in several
ways upon the degree in which the re-
coil affects the accuracy OF the shooting.
