track is laid about two and one halt
miles north of this point, and the
right of way is cleared for l9 miles
north of Clayton. The grading for
ten miles from end of track will be
finished in two weeks, though the
contracted time was Aug. lst. Ten
miles more will be let at once, which
will make, when flushed, twenty
miles of new road this year. This
will bring the end of the track next
fall, in Township 81. Range l3, W.
The road is substantially construc-
ted, there being really no bridge
work required so far. The average
amount Of earlhwork has been less
than 1900 cu. yds. to the mile,
and no where does the grade ex-
ceed forty feet, while three degree
curve is the greatest. To a practic-
ical man this Is at once convincing
that the route is a feasible one, and
when the rich country through
which the road passes and opens up
is taken into consideration, it must
assuredly be paying one.

GEN ERhL NOTES.


Standing at the end of the track
in the grand old forests of mighty
pine, huge oak and basswood, one
can almost imagine he hears The
murmur of Old Lake Superior's wa
iers dashlng against its shores.
With the road completed, it is only
a few hours ride from where he
stands to the great water outlet He
Sings with Whittier:
4 hear the far off voyager's horn;
| see the Yankees trail
His foot on every mountain pass,
On every stream sail"
Yes, lie imagines he can hear the
"voyager's horn," sound familiar
to all old Lake Superior residents.
The "trair' points him toward the
lake-the distance seems but a step,
and ii taken, he could reach the
Lake and see the "sail. The dis
tance through to Superior Bay and
Ashland Bay is only about seventy
miles, and as the trunk line contem-
plates a branch line to each bay, to
comply with Its charter and lard
GRANT. we can stand on the shores
of either bay and again sing with
the poet Whittier;
"Behind the scared squAw's birch canoe,
The steamer smokes and raves,
And City lots are staked for sale
Above old Indian graves"
"The rudiments of Empire here
Are plastic yet and warm;
The chaos Of mighty world
Is rnundnr into form

How To SELECT GOOD Flour
In selecting -four, first look to the
color. fit is white, with yellow.
ish straw color tint, buy it.. If it
is white with a blush cast, or
with white specks in it, refuse it.
Second, examine its adhesiveness
wet and knead a little of it be-
tween your fingers; if i! works
soft and sticky, it is poor. Third,
throw a lump of dried -four a.
gainst a smooth surface, if it falls
like powder, it is bad. Fourth,
squeeze some of the -four tightly
in your hand; if it retains the
shape given by the pressure, that,
too, is a good sign. 1t is safe to
buy -four that will stand all these
tests. These modes are given by
all old -four dealers, and they per-
tain to a matter that concerns
everybody-the staff of life.

PAsTB FOR WALLs.-A COOL
paste with which to put paper on
walls is made by beating -four in
to a stiff batter with cold water.
Then pour boiling water slowly
to this batter, stirring briskly
all the while. The batter will
swell and change from white to
a yellowish color--when this
change is observed the paste is
done. 1t is not necessary to add
alum, resin or any thing else.
Some mix the -four and cold wa.
ter to the consistency OF milk, then
boil over a slow fre-but the 9th.

apply to the wall before papering
is made by dissOlving half pound

and adding it to a paiIful of hot
water. Apply warm with willie

Sheep on the Farm

AT a late meeting of the Elk.
perlmental Farm Club, held at
West Grove, Pa, the question was
asked, What kind of stock is best
for farmers to keep in order to i'm.
prove their farms? and was an
swered very clearly and emphat.
ically in favor of sheep. Mr..
Thomas Wood said that he had
kept sheep for more than forty
years, and that he had improved
more than a thousand acres of
land by their aid. By pasturing
his lands with sheep be had sue,
ceeded in eradicating the daisy
and many other noxious weeds.
He thought that sheep could be
very advantageously used On
many of the thin, poor dairy farms
of Pennsylvania and New York;
that they would make all poor
and barren lands fertile and profit.
able, easier and better than would
the same amount of capital in.
vested in any other way. One
hundred sheep would, if well
cared for, produce forty wagon
loads of manure during the win
ter, and he estimated the value
of the manure from each sheep
to be at least fifty cents per an.
mum, as the manure from sheep
Is stronger and better than that
from any other domestic animal
The best crops he had ever raised
were raised on old sheep pastures.
One reason for this is that the
manure from sheep is very evenly
distributed, and that the pellets
are covered with a coating of
mucous, which, in q great meas
ure, prevents their being dissolved
by rain, and they are slowly alb
sorbed from the under side OF the
pellet. When sheep are left out
at night, they selected the top of
a knoll upon which to sleep, and
so manure the most barren spots
In the field.
MIR. Sharpless fully Endorsed
these views. He was strongly in
favor of having sheep on every
farm. As a nieghbor of his said,
"They were good for the land,
good for the stomach, and good for
the nncknt',

The Chicago Times thinks the
wheat crop of Southern, Central
and Eastern Illinois will be very
large this year-fully 40 per cent.
beyond that of 1876, and equal
to the great yield of 1874. Cold
weather and rains have retarded
corn planting, and in the sections
named the crop will be 80 per
cent. below the average. In North
ern Indiana, Wisconsin and Min

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken fer a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a duh,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There isgeneraily considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied with 2 pain
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times On attendant. The patient
complains ofwearincss and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains Of
prickly sensation of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edy. Several of tia above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them OK
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deraFged.

Poisoning Rodents.


In many parts of the West, and
especially in California, squirrels,
photographers and other species
OF rodents are SO very destructive
to crops that it becomes necessary
to poison or, in some way, lessen
the number Of these animals.
Strychnine has been extensively
employed for this purpose and is
generally quite cffectual, but a
correspondent of the -Lioe Stock
journal has been trying phos.
phorus, and finds it quite as GER
tain death, besides being far cheap.
er. He gives his method OF using
it, as follows:
A 6ve-gallon oil.can is a good
vessel to prepare it in, and one l
usually use. | ell the can one
third full of water, and set it on
the stove till it comes to q boil;
then | take one half corn meal
and one half -four, and stir in till
| have a stiff mush; then l add
two pounds sugar, and carry the
can out Of doors and let it stand
ten minutes to cool. then take
stick of phosphorus in a pair of
plyers and plunge it in the mush
till the stick is all melted. Melt.
ing in the mush, instead of in the
water, prevents it settling, and
takes less poison, and is more
thoroughly mixed through the
mass. 1t is quite important that
the mush should be considerably
below boiling-point or the phos.
phorus will take fire Then add
wheat as long as you can stir it.
The wheat becomes coated, and
when swollen will absorb the wa.
ter, and you can break it into
Jumps of a suitable size to use.
A piece as large as a walnut is large
enough for a squirrel or gopher
hole, and should always b. put SO far
into the hole that no domestic an
imal can ct at it.
1t is no reason, because an ami
NAL does not die Immediately,
that it has not been poisoned. l
call to mind an instance Of poison
ing by phosphorus of a child OF
one of the physicians of San Diego.
1t, in some way, got hold Of a
bunch of matches, and though it
seemed to have swallowed but a
very little of the compound, it
was taken violently i'll, and every
known remedy was applied and
the child partially recovered, and
fingered for six months, but fnal-
ly died from the effect of the poi.
son. / write this to impress up
on all who use the drug the neces
sity of extreme care in its use; for,
like the Chill of the Gods" it
sometimes grinds slow, but never.
theless grinds very sure. In using
it to poison gophers, dig down to
the main runway, and put in a
piece as large as q walnut, and,
believe me, you will soon be rid of
them. For kangaroo rats and
mice, put it into clumps of bushes.
piles of brush or stone, where
nothing else can get at it. The
opinion prevails that it is liable
to take fire after being mixed,
and even after being put out, but
| have the best of reasons for be-
lieving it a mistake, having in.
quired Of parties who have used
it for fifteen years and they scout
the idea.
In conclusion l will say that
fifty cents worth of phosphorus
will be more effectual in riddiug
your fields and orchards of squir-
rels than two dollars worth of
strychnine.
