That's How.

After great snow storm, a little fel.
low began to shovel path through a
large snow bank before his grandmother
door. He had nothing but small shov.
ell to work with.
"How do you expect to get through
that drift" asked man passing along.
"By keeping at it," said the boy
cheerfully; "that's howv'
That is the secret of mastering almost
every difficulty under the sun. If a
hard task is before you, stick to it, and
little by little it will grow smaller, until
it is done.

The Scarlet Fever.

1t is as unnecessary for a child to
die of scarlet fever as it is that it should
be blind with cataract. Let US see: At
any time before the body has finished its
intellectual struggles we are able to helpit
not by wonderful medicines but by the
knowledge of anatomy and the applica-
ton of common sense. We consult the
sympathetic nerve and do what it COM
mand US to do. We must give this
child salt when it wants it; We must
git acid when it has fever-not vinegar
but lemonjuice, because the first coag-
ulates albumen and the latter does not,
on account of the surplus of oxygen
which it contains. To initiate the sooth-
ing mucous in the intestines, which is
now wanting, and to give some respira-
tory food at the same time, we add some
gum arabic. To restore and relieve the
injured nerve We apply moist warmth.
in practice we can fulfill all this with
the following manipulations: Undress
the child and bring it to bed at the very
first sign of sickness. Give it, if it has
already fever, nothing but warm, sourish
lemonade with some gum arabic in it.
Then cover its abdomen with some dry
flannel. Take a well-folded bel sheet
and put it in boiling hot water; wiring
1t out dry by means of dry towels and
put this over the flannel on the child's
abdomen. Then cover the whole ard
wait. The hot cloths will probably re-
quire repeated heat. According to the
severity of the case and its stage of prog
ress perspiration will commence in the
the child in from ten minutes to two
hours. The child then is saved: it soon
falls asleep. Soon after the child awakes
it shows slight symptoms ofrcturning in
clination for food; help its bowels if
necessary with injections of oil, soap and
water, and its I, covery will be as steady
as the growth of a greenhouse plant if
we'll treated. OF course if the child
was already dying nothing could save il,
or if it has effusions in the lining Of the
heart or brain it is much better that it
shonld die. But if the above is applied
in due time, under the eyes and direc-
tion of a competent physician, l will
guarantee that not one in hundred
will ever die of scarlet fever. l know
this will startle some of my readers, es-
pecially those, who have lost children
already, but shall 60 still further.
maintain that a child win never get
scarlet fever if properly treated. If a
child has correctly mixed blood it will
not catch the disorder if put in bed with
sick child. This is still more startling
but nothing is easier of proof Good

Treatnest Of Sell.

The soil is the farmers bank. II b,
would keep his accounts good and have
his drafts honored, be must take care
that his farming operations do not i'm
poverish his land, 70, that will inevitably
impoverish him.
There are those sccounted good farmer:
because in the main, they are reasonably
successful in their management, yet who
nevertheless blindly pursue methods thai
are futile in accomplishing desired re-
suits. There is much working in the
dark, and sometimes a great waste ol
labor. There are some things that are
hard to be unlearned after they have been
long practiced with apparently beneficial
effects, but which really had little agen-
cy in producing those effects.
A hundred yesrs and more ago Jethro
Tull believed and taught that by sufli.
cient culture the soil would produce
crops year after year, without manure.
His theory brought disaster upon him
ultimately, but there was a great lesson
in his experience which farmers failed to
apply, to-wit: the value of tillage in aer.
ating the soil. Cultivation, frequent
stirring, admits the air, and when it is
recollected that vegetable and mineral
manures are useless until decomposed
into their original elements, and that
decomposition can only go on by the
direct agency of the atmosphere, the i'm
portance OF tire knowledge is at once
recognized. Organic matter possesses
highly fertilizing properties, but these
lie dormant and useless until decompOsed
and rendered fit for plant food, by 9ration
of the soil to which this matter has been
applied. Pulverize the soil and keep it
mellow, for then it can breathe freely, SO
to speak, and the more productive it will
be rendered. Herein lies the benefit of
repeated stirring-of fall plowing, which
insures additional pulverization by the
action of frost, insuring finer tilth. And
hence, too, the beneficial effects of drain
ing the soil, carrying off stagnant water,
and permitting the air to take its place.
We must not lose sight of the fact that
with properly erating the soil, the con-
stituents removed from i. must be re-
turned, and that in ihe use of manures
it is well to consider not only what is
desired for an immediate crop, but also
the condition in which the soil will be
left for succeeding crops. Judicious
culture and proper rotation will insure a
good crop, and at the same time the land
will not deteriorate in fertility Western
