Important Geological Fact.

Geology has shown US that Nature accom-
plishes her greatest revolutions in the earth's
surface conformation Slorly. Every year the
river makes its channel deeper, :he glacier
wears a deeper gorge in the Alpine rock and
the ocean tide deposits the sand 1t has crum-
bled from the rocks upon which it breaks.
We note the earthquake and the devastating
hurricane; but these changes are so gradual
man seldom observes them until the channel
has become overhanging cliffs, or a mountain
has disappeared before the icy stream, or the
ocean has given US a Florida. Thus it is in
disease Our attention is attracted by acute
diseases, as fsvers, cholera, etc, while chronic
diseases (ofEen the most dangerous in result),
being slow in their development, are seldom
noticed until they have made an almost inef-
faceable impression upon the system. Per-
sons believing themselves comparatively
healthful are ofttimes the victims of these
diseases, and only become aware of their
presence when relief is almost impossible.
Diseases of the liver and stOmsch are the
commonest of these chronic affections. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Pleas
and Purgative Pellets are never-failing rem
edies for these diseases. They produce a
healthiul secretion of the bile, prevent in1i-
eestiun by regulating the bowels, and impari
a vigorous tone to the whOe ys,em.

KNIGHT AND LADY.

He lifted his hand TO his plumed chapeau,
He bowed to her beauty and RODE away
He through the glorious world TO go,
She in the lone little home TO stay.
Swift as a vision he passed the fields
Where the wild rose blushed alnld Solueh
grain:
She took up the weapons which woman Yields
When fain from herself she would hlde her
pain.
Out in the thickest of noble strife,
He felt the rapture of conflict brave;
And She shut into her quiet life,
Half deemed its narrowness like the grave
Yet. strange to say, when the war was past,
And the knight came back wearing Nlor

Twas the lady who, wan and pale, at last
Gave token of wounds which had lett their

To remove grease from clothes:
Apply French chalk in the powder with

are properly carried out. Should any
trace remain make another application.
Wheat flour or ordinary toilet powder

To relieve burning feet, first discard
tight boots; then take one pint bran and
one ounce bi-carbonate of soda, put in a
foot-bath, add one gallon of hot water !;
when cool enough, soak your feet in this
mixture for fifteen minutes. The relief
is instantaneous. This must be repeat
ed every night for a week or perhaps
more. The bran and bi-carbonate
should be made fresh after a week 5 use.
Bi-carbonate of soda can be purchased
for small price per pound from whole

OATMEAL.

Oatmeal, now found on almost every gen.
tleman' sssbreakfast table, was few years
ago used exclusively by the Scotch and the
Irish. DR.. johnson who, in his hatred of
the Scotch, lost no opportunity of saying a
bitter word against them, defined oats as in
Scotland food for Scotchmen, but in En-
gland food tor horses. "Yes," answered an
indignant Scotchman, ''where can you find
such men as in Scotland. or such horses AS
in England?" We have heard of a shrewd
old Scotch mother, who used to make her
family eat oatmeal first. saying: s.'The
BARN who eats the most porriteh, will get
the most meat after it.'' But the BARN who
gained the prize always found himself too
full to enjoy the meat. 1t is mentioned in
most charming book, the Life and Letters
of Lord Macaulay," that Carlyle, catching a
sight of Macauiay's face in repose, remark
ed: "Well, any one can see that you are
an honest, good sort of fellow, made out of
oatmeal" If oatmeal can 'make'' such
men as Walter Scott, DIR. Chalmers, and
Lord Macaulay, we may well heap high the

porritch dish, and brbe Our children to eat
it. One thing we do know, that it is far
better for the blood and brain than cake,
confections, and scores Of dclicacies, on
which many pale little pets are fed by their
foolishly fond mothers. ''rhe Qneen's
Own," a regiment of almost giants, recruit
ed from the Scotch Highlands, are, as Car
lyle said OF Macaulay, '.made out OF oat-
meal" So boys who want height and
breadth and muscle, and girls who want ro-
sy cheeks and physical vigor, should turn
from hot bread and other indigestibles, to
this flood for Scotchmen and horses.''-

A G GRICU 1T ] RAJ.

ABOUT one year ago we took occasion tC
warn our readers to beware of the army OF
agents that always come in the vanguard
of railroads and the genial influences" !"
and which are a nuisance equaled only by
the genus tramp. No sooner does rail
road come in striking distance of country
than it becomes overrun with agents, ped
dlers and venders of all manner of catch
penny devices for farming, dairying, house
keeping, and in fact everything we could
mention. Now we do not condemn all the
devices thus disposed of as humbugs and
swindles, but we do condemn the manner
of disposing of them. Many of them, how
ever, are worthless, and the unsuspecting
farmer being generally honest, and regard
ing others as like himself, is singled out as
victim. Wherever the grange has spread
Its light farmers have learned the evil ten
dency of this system of trade, and have de-
termined to deal as nearly direct with the
manufacturer as possible. We have whole
sale dealers in our territory who are pre-
pared to handle all manner OF farm supplies.
and can afford to sell at a much less margin
than the agent who migrates through the
country, for unlike wholesale dealers who
buy of the manufacturer, he is only SUBJ
dealer. Besides this, our territorial dealers
are we'll posted in regard to different kinds
OF articles and keep only the best. True,
the peddler may have something not to be
obtained of them, but in nine cases out of
ten, their wares are worthless and would
never have found market in the hands of
conscientious resident dealers.
The states are sorely cursed with this
army of agents. Every season brings vend-
crs of new inventions, patent-right men
oily-tongued fellows who have but one OBJ
ject, the getting of money. We would say
to the Montana farmer, pass these gently
by, and deal with men of established repu-
tation. If articles are not sufficiently known
to be in the hands of regular dealers their
utility is doubtful. The average travelling
vender does not scruple to tell any story, for
he never expects to call again. Fore
warned is fore-armed."

POTATOES IN MISSOURI.

Professor Tracy, OF the Missouri agricul.
tural college, has this to say to some of the
varieties of potatoes tried by him Oh the
college farm last year.
Beauty of Hebron, introduced by the de-
partment of agriculture last year, is very
smooth white potato OF excellent table quail
ity. 1t is shaped like the early rose. and
ripens at about the same time, but appears
to be much better keeper.
Snowflake has proved universally good
with me; it is of fine quality, yields well
and keeps well.
Brownell's beauty has been failure when
planted on heavy clay lands, but ON we'll

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.

The vegetable garden of every farm, will
demand attention from this time on as we
60 farther and farther north. Peas, onions,
satisfy, lettuce, radish, spinach, parsnips,
and beets for early use cannot be planted
too quickly. They should be planted as
soon as the soil is in condition for working.
The same is true Of potatoes intended tor
early use. Neither these nor beets will gem
orally appear above ground until after dam
ger Of killing is over.
Cabbage, caulif1oWer, celery, tomatoes,
peppers and egg plant should find place
in every garden. When only enough for
family use is required, it is cheaper to buy
plants than to raise them. Cabbage and
caulifiower should be planted out as soon as
danger Of black frost-ice is over. Celery
for fall and early winter use is generally
planted out about the time buckwheat IS
soyQa. Unless plenty Of water can be given
it do not plant. For late winter and spring
use, the seed may be sown in bed early in
the spring, and transplanted when large
enough, or from July to August l, accord
ing to the latitude. The farther north, the
earlier it must be planted. Tomato, pep
per, and eggplant should not be planted
out until the days, and also the nights are
warm; not before it is safe to set out sweet
potato plants.
Cucumber, melon squash and okra should
be planted about ten days after the usual
time OF planting corn; that is, not until the
soil is we'll warmed. Indeed there are no
plants that pay better for starting on six
inch inverted sods, than those, so you may
give. them the protection of glass. Thus
they may remain until they form fine plants
and may be transplanted in the open air at
the same time as other tender plants 1t
will advance them fully two weeks earlier
than it planted in the usual way. The same
maybe said of Lima, and other pole beans.
String beans should be planted at corn
planting time.
An attendance to these simple rules will
enable any farmer to have good garden, ii
he will spend the necessary labor to tend it.
There is nothing about the farm that will
pay better. and nothing pays less, if allowed
to grow up to weeds.-Pfuuie Farmer.

THE MERITS OF LIGHT AND HEAVY
WHEAT AS SEED.

A. A. Freeman gives the following sensi-
BILE views on the seed wheat question in a
late issue of the La Crosse Chronicle:
[ have just received the article in your is
sue of March 10, on seed wheat, and must
ask for space in your paper toreply to what
l can not help but regard as dangerous
heresy. In the first place the purport of
the article is to convince farmers that light
and shrunken wheat is as good for seeding
purposes as heavy, plump No. l. True,
Mg. Hunting is somewhat inconsistent on
that point, if he is reported correctly, IN
claiming that the sprouts from As to AZ
pound wheat were equal to No. wheat !;
but admitting that it is q matter of expert
ment as to how the light wheat will pro-
duce, is not that great risk for Northwest
ern farmers to take, when two bushels of
average light wheat will buy one bushel Of
81 to 60 pound wheat from the upper Pacif-
ic railroads? A large amount of this choice
wheat has been in store at St. Paul all win
ter, and could be obtained at about ST. 10
per bushel, and [ think can be had yet to
certain extent. But in any case farmers
should select the best that can be obtained
near home.
don't think that most of this light wheat
will germinate. A recent Chicago circular
of a very respectable firm quotes expert
ments with ''well-selected specimens in
hot houses, and 20per cent. failed to sprout
but the main question is, what will 1t pro-
duce, both in yield and quality. If the the
ory OF the gentleman named in your article
is correct then all the experience of, for in
stance, English farmers, for generations,
goes for nothing. While their immense
yields are. of course, largely due to close,
careful farming, yet the careful selection of
the best seed, year after year, has great
deal to do with it, as we'll as the large,
plump berry obtained. Breed small mare
to small stallion and continue it for a few
years, and you get an animal the size Of
Shetland pony. Reverse the order.
In conclusion, if those gentlemen believe
their theory, will wager them anything up
to $500, either on our own account or to be
devoted to some good charity, that if an
equal quantity of 60 pound wheat and of 45
or IL pound wheat be sowed on a given
space of land, side by side, the former will
prodnce more and better wheat and bring
more money, after allowing for the extra
cost of the heavy seed, than the light wheat
will.
