The Bismarck Tribune states that special
agent Williams, of Minnesota is one of the
most honest, upright and just men that ever
drew the breath of life. He may be, but it is
the opinion of southern Dakota that he has a
queer way of demonstrating the fact. He is
the man who reported against the Pierre mail
route-the man who declared before he had
got sixty miles above Yankton or had made
any investigation that the mail route from
Pierre to the Hills was useless. We cannot
ascertain that Mr.. Williams ever went to
Pierre to enquire into the subject. If any
body knows that he did or did not we should
like to hear the truth. 1t is natural enough
that the Tribune should respect Mr.. Will
liams and Senator Window ard the rest Of
the outfit. They are good men for North
Pacific interests

Henry Ward Beecher seems to have got
his foot into it. He preached a sermon in
which he said: els not a dollar a day
enough to buy bread? Water costs nothing,
and a man that can't live on bread is not fit
to live" And again, he says, ga family
may live, laugh, love and be happy that eats
bread and good water in the morning, water
and good bread at noon, and good bread and
water at night" This is from the great
preacher to his aristocratic congregation of
bond-holders-the man who charges a thou
sand dollars for a lecture an hour and a
half long. The men whom he recommend
ed to live on bread and water crowded about
the church at the next meeting and the
police had to rally in the house of the Lord
to prevent a disturbance. MAN shall not
live by bread alone" says the good book.
Therefore Mr.. Beecher adds water to the
bread and the scriptures are fulfilled.

NowEEngIand Farming.

The farmer should remember one fact
that even if fortune cannot be made in a
single year cultivating an average area of five
acres to farm in grain and potatoes, yet his
is the only business that furnishes nearly all
the necessaries and comforts of life free Of
cash cost, and the safest occupation, since
less than per cent. of the total of insolvent
persons are farmers. give in illustration q
Boston book-keeper who, on yearly salary
OF 81 200. had by great economy and self-de-
NAL saved up 500 per year; realizing the
risk he run of loosing his health, situation,
aud savings if he remained CLERK, he purchas-
ed small farm and moved on to it. Charg-
ing himself with all that he and his family
consumed from the same during year at
the rate that he had formely been obliged to
pay in Boston, to his great surprise he found
at the end of the year that he had consumed
$1,000 worth, besides having sold quite an
amount of farm products. With such a re-
suit he had no desire to return to his 81 200
position, depriving his family and himself of
such health and comforts as their city life had
never afforded.
That the farms of New England, averaging
lob acres each, are too large, or that INSULT
Gent capital or enegy is employed, is self-evi-
dent from the fact that only five acres each
are under cultivation, only II acres each in
grass, with 81 acres in wood land. The
farmers in England average Al acres each
France has 100000 farms less than six acres
each; Prussia has 1,099,0 farms less than
four acres; the less area farmer cultivates
the more care and skill he exhibits, and few
farmers produce in proportion to the acres
they own.
As alarge number of the discouraged resi-
dents of our cities make up their minds to go
back to mother earth where they started from
for support, subdivision of these large farms
will take place, land the rural districts will be
enabled to support much larger population,
and to increase the products of the soil, and
thereby add to the prosperity of this section
of the country. No occupation to-day presents
a surer, steadier, or more remunerative pros
pect than agriculture and if farmers will only
realize that many of them are not cultivating
as many acres even as their fathers did, not
withstanding the improved tools and imple-
ments for fastening and relieving farm labor
If such win take hold with renewed zeal
and pride in their calling, New England can
make rapid strides toward making herself
self.supporting in reference to her food sup
ply.-The CuItiuator.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Prevalence of worms in swine,

The most considerable fatality among swine
in this section comes, I am satisfied, from
worms. Of these there are several different
varieties that infest hogs, the most, if not all
OF them, having counterpart in the human.
There are, perhaps, two notable exceptions
one, the worm that infests the leaf lard
around the kidneys; the other, worm that
inhabits the small intestines, is frequently
found in the stomach, and may be indentical
with the Ascaris vernicuLariS, although the
specimens we have examined from the hog
are full hree times the size of those from
the human.
have not the inclination, nor would your
space permit me to go into extended descrip-
tons of the different worms, nor in indeed is
it necessary, as the symptoms and treatment
may be classed under two heads. From those
that are found in the bowels we have loss of
appetite, feverish condition, the hair becom-
ing loose in consequence. and often vomiting
and purging.
The blood becomes afflicted from the i'm
perfect digestion; sometimes pustular erup-
ton appears upon the skin; the hog runs
down and dies in from to 20 days, seeming
ly from pure hamilton. There is a belief
current that some of these worms perforate
the stomach and bowels under certain condi-
lions. l have not as yet satisfied myself up
on this point. IF they do, death would prob
ably result more quickly than when caused
from pure force OF numbers.
These worms are often found in astonish-
ing numbers, and were we compelled to keep
hogs until or years old before marketing,
we doubt if one in five would live unless the
worms were removed. Can it be done? Yes !!
easily. Salt the hogs regularly, but don't
give it with ashes, as is the custom. All
alkalies tends to weaken the coats Of the
stomach, and should be given as a medicine
and for specific purpose. Don't give cop
peras (sulphsf .Yri) for worms. 1t is inert
and makes the teeth sore. Sift the ashes
and give the charcoal freely, or keep stone
coal by them. Each month give tablespoon
full of Cape aloes to each grown hog every
morning for three or four mornings, or give
one of the patent vermifuges that you know
TO be effective in the human they will oper-
ate as well in the hog, or the bruised end of
the Jerusalem oak, which grows in many
parts of the West. may be given with effect.
The kidney worm, as it is called, operates in a
different way, and must be treatedsdiffe rently.
1t produces an irritation about the kidneys,
the water becomes high colored, the hog gets
weak in the loins, andivery often breaks down
entirely. Turpentine is usually effective
given in tablespoonful doses each day for two
or three days, and then at intervals of a
week, rub the loins with the same.-Dr. Chase

John E, Roberts in the Southern PouI-
try Journal says;
Many tanciers use the carbolic Cor carbo-
lated) powder in order to rid their fowls of
lice and mites. 1t is considered the very
best of remedies. My plan is one which
think is used by no other breeder: has never
failed me in completely Kidding my fowls of
every insect, and has demonstrated to me its
infallibilty. 1t is simply the use of oil of sas-
safras mixed with sweet oil. To one ounce
of oil of sassafras put five or six of sweet oil,
and apply small quantity to different parts
of the body of the fowl, selecting those points
where the vermin would be most apt to hide.
In applying the preparation I fill with it a
small oil-can, so that / can force out as much
or as little of the oil as I wish. A very small
bit can be made to go great ways, for one
drop can be rubbed over two or tire inches OF
space, and is no more trouble to apply than
because of its curative powers, but any kind
of grease, no matter what, will do to mix with
the oil of sassafras, The oil of sassafras is
the eradicator, and other oil merely the vehi-
Gle. believe that common sassafras tea
would be wonderfully Iefficacious.
Make it in a largefpot; then after allowing
it to cool, dip the fowls in bodily. In one
second the lice will be dead, and in ten sec
onds the fowls will be perfectly dry, if placed
in the sunshine. 1t is hard to form an idea
of the magical effect produced by the oil of
sassafras. have never tried the remedy in
greater attention than that mentioned Zone
to five or six }, but believe that it would be
equally good if composed of one ounce'of oil
OF sassafras to ten or twelve of any other oil
or grease.

Her butter-making capacity coming TO inc

given her stirred into her own milk after it
was skinned.
This COW was described as being of very
moderate size, with a straight back, fine
neck and head, with broad hips, and milk
veins and udder of best form and capacity.
This COW was bred 10 the vicinity of the
Kennebec, where good many Shorthorns
had been imported. There was no record to
show how much improved blood entered into
her composition, but it is said of her that her
straight back, wide hips, and general con-
tour showed her to be, in some degree of
Shorthorn origin, though she was not be-
leved to be even of grade. The Cakes
cow did not produce calf in any way equal
to herself in any regard. Mirror and Farmer.
