Habitual users of tobacco will draw
some comfort from observations made
by the author of paper read before
the Chronological Society of London.
This writer, Mr. Hepburn, says that
the direct action of nicotine on the
teeth decidedly benefit. The alkalinity
of the smoke must necessarily neutra-
lie any acid secretion which may be
present in the oral cavity, and the
antiseptic property of the nicotine
tends to arrest putrefactive changes in
carious cavities. The author is in
clined to believed that the dark de-
post on the teeth of some habitual
smokers is largely composed Of the
carbon of tobacco smoke. This de-
post takes place exactly in those
portions where carries is most likely
to arise, and on those surfaces of the
teeth which escape the ordinary cleans
ing action of the brush. That tobac-
co is capable Of allaying to some ex-
tent the pain of toothache is, he thinks,
true-its effect being due not only to
its narcotizing power, but also to its
direct action on the exposed nerve ;
and no is inclined to attribute the
fact of the comparatively rare occur
renee of toothache among sailors in
great measure to their habit of chew

ans here. Am at present sharing the
hospitality OF Mr.. John +. French,
from Knox county, Tenn, who has
lived here since the war. He is a
brother to your fellow countrymen, j.
w. aud Peter French. He is one of
toe best and most successful farmers
on 25.mile prairie, and that Is big
word. There are also number of the
Rules and Brakebilis, from BlouDt, in
this county, all doing well. There is
large emigration here this fall from
Tennessee aud Kentucky. The water
here Is good, but 1t is mostly we'll
water. The citizens here seem to en-
Joy the best of health, though the
wind on the prairie Is very piercing.
This 81 elton is adapted principally to
corn and cattle raising. Very little
wheat raised here, for several reasons !:
LIST, and the greatest reason, Is, the
ground will not produce over 10
bushels per acre. ID, Ii is 40 miles
from the nearest point to the railroad.
81, wheat causes small bug, called
the chintz bug, to destroy the neigh
boring corn crop. For these reasons
farmers raise corn and oats and put
them into stock and drive the stock
out.

How to Feed Shelled Corn.

Where corn can not be ground with
out too much expense, the next best
way is to mix the shelled corn with
shortcut corn stalks; dampen the
mass and let it lie few hours, when
the cattle will eat CO! stalks together
and masticate the corn much better
than when in the cob. They are oblig-
ed to do this in masticating the corn
fodder; besides, ia this case, the corn
will be raised with the cud and remas-
ticated, thus giving it the benefit of
q second grinding which it does not
have when corn is fed alone. This
is matter Of great importance in
feeding.
