DRILLING WHEAT. - A. promi-
nent farmer in the wheat belt
writes: "Is is my candid opinion
that a great deal is gained by drill
ing wheat. In The FIRST place the
saving in seed, where a large area
is sowD, will pay the cost Of a
drill in one or two years, a bushel
to a bushel and half or more
sown with the hand. Then |
know from experience that drill
ed wheat bears the winter much
better than broadcast and lastly,
as drilled wheat can be cultivated
the yield is greater and the quali-
ty Of the grain finer than where
the seed is sown broadcast. The
price of a drill is $50 to $780,"

To Cure Dyspepsia or
Nervous Debility.

Change your diet and mani
ner of living; drink neither tea
nor coffee; never drink at meal
times; after each or during the
meal dissolve half a teaspoon
full or more of cayenne pepper
an a half a glass of milk and
drink it; eat plain food; never
taste pastry of any kind. If
YOU are troubled with sleepless
nights, do not try to produce
sleep by taking stimulants or
opiates; they do more harm
than good; take sponge bath
before retiring, and if you are
unable TO do it yourself, get
some one to rub you we'll with
a coarse towel; if you wake in
the night and cannot get to
sleep again, get up at once, not
lie until you "get nervous think
ing about it," take foot bath:
rub your limbs well, to get up
circulation; drink glass of
cold water. Do not expect to
cure yourself in one weeks
time; have patience, and try
one month. In bathing, use
your hand to apply the water,
it is much better than a sponge;
soften the water with borax, it
is mQre inyigorating than salt
water.

To persuade a cow to give down
her milk against her will is diff.
cult and sometimes a hopelesstask.
n plan that has been highly spo-
ken OF is to lay heavy chain a.
cross her back while milking her.
1t is very certain that harsh
ness and impotence will only
make matters worse, and that
kindness and petting will have the
best effect. The use of milking
tubs might be effective. A poor
COW, free from this vice, is better
than the best cow that is afflicted
with it.

Light in Stables.

Neither cattla nor horses should
be stalled in dark stable, as all
animals require light in the day
time. A horse kept for months
in stable would be liable to be
come blind. In regard to light in
swine pens, writer says that two
sows having filters on the 18th
and 22d of January, respectively,
were kept in two rather dark, but
warm, temporary sites, and had to
occupy them till about the middle
OF the month of April when, for
each sow With litter, one of the
permanent sites was opened by
selling the occupants. AT that
time the pigs which had been kept
in the dark, but warm temporary
sites, proved to be less lively than,
and much inferior in weight and
size, to those of any the filters
raised in the less warm but well
lighted permanent sites, notwith-
standing that the diff renee in age
was very small, and that food and
care had been the same in every
respect. One of the litters born
on the 18th of January, which
had accidentally the best lighted
sty, though situated in the north
west and consequently coolest cor
ner of the frame building, exhib'
tied the most rapid growth, and
the litter born on the 22d of JAN
uary, which had the darkest sty,
had made the poorest.

Keep Borax in the House.


IA House keeper" in the
New York .Adcocdte,says: Hav-
ing long used borax for various
domestic and hygienic purposes,
/ have to regard it as a necessi-
ty. Housekeepers who do not
use it have something yet to
learn concerning a very con-
yenient and useful article. In
the laundry it is economical, as
lit saves both labor and soap,
and is really cheaper than the
latter. For blankets and other
large articles it is especially
valuable, and in all cases the
use of a little borax will save
half the labor when articles are
much soiled, while it is not iu-
furious to clothes. It is effec-
tual in driving away red ants,
cockroaches, ETC., if sprinkled
around on pantry shelves, or put
in small quantities on paper and
placed in the runaways of the
insects.
Borax is also Of great value
for toilet uses. For removing
dandruff and cleansing the hair
it is unequaled. 1t is also a
good remedy for rough face and
chapped hands. Its application
to wounds, sores, bruises, sprains,
etc, proves very salutary, and
is often the only remedy re-
quired, even in severe cases. In
deed, borax is one of the best
remedies for many ailments in
our whole hygiene, and for that
reason alone should be kept
ready for use when wanted.
That prepared by Smith Bros.
is the best, and can be obtained
iof almost any grocer or drug
gist. There are many other
uses for borax which | need moi
specify, but those | have men
toned are alone enough to sat
isfy any family OF the value of
the article, and to all such, as
we'll as those wfo do not under
stand its properties, | repeat,
Keep Borde IN the House.

A beautiful and high spirited
horse would never allow a shoe to
be on his ieet, or any person to
handle his feet. Ia an attempt
t. shoe this horse recently be re-
sifted all efforts, kicked aside ev.
erything but an anvil and came
near killing himself against that,
and finally was brought back to
his stable unshod. This defeat
was just on the eve OF consIgn-
ing lin to the pillow, where be
might work barefoot, when an
officer lately returned from Mex
CO took cord about the size
of a common bed cord, put it in
the mouth of the horse like a
bit, and tied it on the animals
head, passing the left ear under
the string. not painfully tight,
but tight enough to keep the cal
down~and toe cord In the place.
This done, he patted the horse
gently on the side Of the head, and
commanded him to follow; and
instaas,ly the horse obeyed, per-
fectly subdued and as gentle ard
as obedient as a well trained dog;
suffering his feet to be lifted with
entire impuuity, acting in all re-
spects like an old siager The
gentleman who thus furnished
tnis exceedingly simple means
of subduing a very dangerous
propensity, intimated that it was
practiced in Mexico and South A
lnerica in the management OF
wild horses.

To plant and harvest crops is
attended with much care and
expense; and most farmers ex-
hibit commendable industry up
to this point, but when these
crops are to be fed out, many
of them do it with the greatest
recklessness. Corn is thrown
to the hogs in muddy, slushy
yards; hay is scattered upon
the ground, to be trampled in
the manure by the cattle; and
the cleanly sheep receive theil
hay and grain in the same man
ncr.

A Walking Miracle.

MIR. II. X. STEVENS:
Dear Though q stranger, want to In

in my system-iarge running ulcers appearing
on me- as follows: Ono on each OF my arms,
one on INV thigh. which extended 10 tie seat,
one on my heod which eat into the skull bone,
enc on my Ieft leg, which became so bad that
two physicians came TO amputate the limb
though upon consultation concluded not 10 90
So as my whole body was so full OF Scrotula;
they deemed Il advisable to cut the sore, which
was painful beyond description, ami there was
quart OF matter run from this one sore.
The physicians all gave me up TO die, and
said they could do no more for me- Beth OF my
legs were drawn up 20 nay seat, aud II was

In conclusion will add, when ] was endur-

disease, Scrofula, prayed 10 the Lord above TO
take me out OF this world. but as EEGETINE has
restored to me the blessings OF health, desire

carefully observed the wonderful cures accom-
plished from the use of VEGETlNE. From its
Ese many an afflicted sufferer has been restored
to perfect health, after having expended small
fortune in procuring medical advice aud OBJ
tanning poisonous mineral medicines.
Its medical properties are Alternative, Tonic,
Solvent and Diuretic. There is no disease ct
the human system for which the FEGETINE
cannot be used with perfect safety, as it does
not contain any metallic or poisonous COM
