A plant possessing considerable textil

A plant possessing considerable textile
value, it would seem from the accounts
given, has been found and experimental
with i'll some parts of the west. 1t pro
duces kind of cotton and flax from the
same stalk, fabrics of this character hav-
ing already been successfully woven
from the same, and, as any article that
will make equally good cloth as can be
made from this growth will also make
good paper, it has .been called the paper
plant. 1t can be planted in the spring
and cut in the fall and winter; it bleaches
itself white as it stands, and will yield at
least three or four tons to the acre.
From q single root that was transplanted
last spring grew twenty large stalks.

FEES OF DOCTORS.

The fee of doctors is an item that very
many persons are interested in just at
present. We believe the schedule for
visits is $500, which would tax man
confined to his bed for a year, and in
need of daily visit, over $1,000 a year
for medical attendance alone! And one
single bottle Of Hop Bitters taken in
time would save the 81, 900 and all year s
sickness

AN EDITOR IN LUCK

ST. Jacobs Oil cures rheumatism; of
this ] am convinced. For two-years |
suffered with rheumatism in my left
shoulder and right arm, and last fall I
was incapable of attending to my duties,
and lay many night unable to sleep on
account of terrible pains. A few weeks
ago a severe attack of this trouble struck
me, and this time l concluded to try the
st. Jacobs Oil, I must acknowledge, with
but little confidence in its merits. I
freely confess that the result has COM
pletely astonished me. The first appli-
cation relieved the pain very materially,
and the continued use of only two bot
ties has completely cured me of this
chronic evil, and that, after the most
eminent physicians and their prescrip-
tons had been of no avail. / therefore
consider it duty to publish the above
for the benefit of all sufferers with rheu-
matism and kindred complaints.

AGRICULTURAL.
WELDON SPRINGS, Mo.

| WELDON SPRINGS, Mo.
Will You please tell US what you know
about narrowing meadows and wheat ID
the spring? Ga.
Answer:-It is practiced by many of
the best farmers in the country. Run
ming light harrow over the ground,
loosens it, letting in air and moisture
about the roots of the plants, which ma
terially benefits them.
STANTON, Neb., Feb 4.
Will you or some brother farmer tell
me the best way to feed corn to sheep
on the cob, or she'll and grind it Z J. NICK.
Answer:-The latter method is much
the best.
The wheat growers of the United
States will have to look to their laurels.
A systematic effort is making in Queens
land, Australia, to raise wheat there on a
large scale, will go far towards anticipat-
ing the supply from this country, if our
railroad pool is allowed to tie up wheat
In Chicago by tariff that would confis-
cate one-third of the crop. The raising
of wheat in Australia promises well both
as an end and as a measure; as an end,
to supply the European market, and as a
means, to prepare the ground for rich
crop of cultivated grass of close and
abundant growth, in the place of the in
digepous grass Of thin and scattered
growth, which now compels hocks of
sheep to roam over thousands of acres in
browsing. A pasturage made on land
once broken would allow the raising of
large focks Of sheep and herds of cattle,
on a more limited area. The Queens
lander's earnestly urges emigration from
Great Britain to the province, stating
that freebooter in Australia is better
off than the most favored tenant farmer
upon the estate of the most liberal land
lord of the old country. This is all very
true, but, the United States affords an
opportunity for men of means, muscle or
brains, without the necessity of crossing
the line.
INDURATED QUARTER. RI. j. H., Cen
terville, Appanoose, Co., Iowa.-Query:
1 bought a skye old, half Durham
COW on the 18th of November. One
quarter of her udder is nearly dry; there
is hard lump at the top of the tit run
ming forward. l have been rubbing it
every time milk her, and it is not SO
hard as it was. That quarter is small.
She calved in September her second calf.
Please tell me what to do and, if she can
be brought right2 The man I bought of
says he did not know anything about it.
Will flax chaff injure stocka
Reply: Continued friction with the
palm of the hand, often proves of great
service in reducing hardness and swelling
of the udder. Such condition of the
udder is generally of chronic nature,
slow of reduction, and often not reducea-
BILE by any means. Besides friction, a
small portion of the following liniment
may be applied morning and evening,
but only to the hardened parts. If the
COW gives milk the udder should be care
fully washed clean before each milking.

of glycerine, two ounces of mercurial

The most formidable enemy of timber,
in its production of dry rot, is now found
to he species fungi, scientifically known
as "meruGus lachrymans." Wood affect
ed by it shows minute white threads of a
cottony texture which sheds red pow
der. But long before this peculiar ap-
pearance is manifested, the interior of
the wood has persisted, and therefore,
when the cottony filiaments are seen
upon timber internally affected, it is
proof that the apparently solid beam
may be easily crumbled to dust. The
first symptoms of the dry rot are swelling
discoloration, mouldiness, and musty
smell; as the disease advances, the fbres
shrink lengthwise and break, presenting
many deep assures across the wood; fin
ally, the cohesion of the wood is totally
destroyed, and, at the least disturbance,
crumbling takes place. The best pro-
lection against this rot, thus far discov-
is careful seasoning. Ventilation is not
very serviceable, for timber must be
kept entirely wet or entirely dry, and
alternate dampness and dryness is fatal.
Boiling and steaming are useful in get
ting rid of the pores and coagulating the
albumen of the sap. By letting out the
sap and permitting no absorption of
moisture, wood will not rot.

THE CHINESE MUST GO.

San FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-Some three
thousand unemployed workingmen as
sembled at Sand Lots this afternoon, and
after listening to number Of speakers
about half of the crowd formed in line
and marched to the Office of the Central
Pacific Railroad company. A committee
appointed for the purpose, sought an in
terview with President Stanford and
Vice President Croker. Both were alb
sent, and the committee were received by
General Superintendent Towne. They
stated the object of the movement to be
to ask the company to comply with the
provision Of the new constitution forbid
ding corporations TO employ Cinnamon,
end give work to unemployed whites,
and intimating if the request was not
complied with and the distress continued
it would be difficult to foretell the result.
Mr.. Towne replied that he would refer
the matter to the directors, and return
an answer On Monday next. The pro-
cession then returned to the Sand Lots.
Subsequently it dispersed. Other cor
porations will be called upon tomorrow.
The proceedings were quiet and orderly.
