A TIMELY TOPIC-In case of sunstroke
loosen the patients clothes and battle the head
and entire body with cool water, and with
moistcned hands rub the cxtremties the neck
and the whole length of the spine, rubbing in
downward direction to draw blood from the
head. AS soon as boiling water can be OBJ
tanned, put dry blanket around the body
then ring flannels from the hot water and ap
ply them quickly to the region of the stomach
liver, bowels and spine, over the blanket; also
imnerse the feet in hot water, or wrap them
IN hot flannels as far as the body. Re-wring
the fannels once every five or eight minutes
for half an hour or more, then remove them
and apply cold water in the same way, either
by cool towels or sponging with cool water
dry well and rub the surface lightly and brisk
ly with the hand until glow is produced
AS soon as the patient can swallow give him
hot water to drink plenty of it, with occasion
al bits of ice or sips Of cold water. Often, o
course, the attack Is so slight that such thor
ough treatment is not necessary.

The Orphans court has finally adjudicated
the estate of Robt. Morris Morris was the
great financier of revolutionary times who
raised the means to feed and pay the Colonial
armies. who retired from office very rich
man, and by series of land speculations died
quite poor one, with great number OF debts
clinglng to his estate. His principal assets
upon his death in 1906 were found to be stock
in the North American Land company. On
his death his will, dated June -, 1904, was
opened and the property, what there was OF It,
was left to his wife and issue. The widow
died in 1927 All the parties interested under
the two wills after the settlement OF the estate,
had hung ire for long time, agreed on the
18th of June, 1863, to convey all the property,
real and personal, left by Robert Morris to
Roberts S. Paschal IN trust for the Morris heirs.
In 1854 Paschal transferred by general consent
all the property to John Moss, who died in
1872 On December l, 1873, the heirs agreed
upon Henry Phillips, Jr., as the trustee, and
letters of administration were granted TO MN
and he proceeded to settle the estate. Last
month he submitted mis- accounts to the orp-

The Cut Worm.

There is scarcely any land tree from the
wlre-worm, or any crop that is not subject to
their voracity. They occur wherever grass
will grow, being particularly harbored among
clover roots, and are always prevalent in mead.
ow and pasture land, seeming to thrive best
in the vicinity of swamps and woods. Young
oats, wheat rye aud barley suffer much from
being partially or entirely cut Oft below the
surface. Cabbages and many root crops are
also injured; tulnips, perhaps, more than any
other, as they are cut oft when young and
have the roots badly eaten when larger. In
gardens they are very destructive. 1t appears
pecially when it is the first crop planted in
new land, or when the season is cold, wet and
late. Upward of thirty have been found in 9
single hill, and nearly the whole of the seed
planted is sometimes destroyed.
One of the most successful remedies on {
large scale Is q mixture consisting of two
parts of quickllme, three parts OF SCOT, ant
one part of coarse or refuse salt. This is uset
as a top dressing, being applied Immediately
after compromising and should be well rolled

harmless to the crops. Indeed, it is mos

BY j. Il. UPsoN.

The introduction of amber cane has gwen a
great impulse TO the manufacture of sorghum
syrups and sugars in the West The refinery
at Crystal Lake, III. had such success IN sugar.
making last season that they wish to buy all
the heavy grade of syrup possible this year
This enables the farmers, at a small cost, to
make up syrup and ship it 10 refinery, where
it is turned into fair grade Of sugar. The
price paid is regulated by the amount of su.
gar per gallon.
The demand is now for o more improved
method in the manufacture Of the syrup. The
simplest, cheapest and best pan In use Is Of
wood, and heated BY steam. Ash y the best
material to use. The pans are usually ten feet
sides ten inches high. One side and end are
perpendicular; the remaining side stands out
as an angle Of forty.hve degrees. On the bot.
tom Of the pan, and lengthwise Of IL are q
series Of connected IRON pipes-inch pipe %.
ing used on the perpendicular side, and three.
quarter inch On the sloping side. The inch
pipe 10 connected with steam. boiler, and the
smaller ono with IN exhaust.

Turn on stesm and oil 10 boiling IN I'VE min,

pipes, the scum Is thrown to the sloping side,
where; with thin board the length Of the pan,
Il ID scraped over the side into trough that
carries 1t away. Herein Is the secret Of max.
ing hne syrup. The boiling Of tho green scum
into the syrup gives to IL that green, disagree.
able taste peculiar to sorghum. BY this plan,
Of an early stage the scum can be rapidly and
repeatedly removed With fire pan the juice
IS at hot boil over the fire, while at each end
II is simmering, impregnating the syrup with
its rank flavOrs. From the time the juice CON.
mences to boil II does not stop until the syrup
IS of the required thickness. This rapid and
continuous boiling results IN a clearer, finer
favored syrup than is often obtained from an
iron tire-pan When the juice runs IN at one
end of the pan and the syrup out of the other
the two are often mixed, giving raw taste
while with firepan, when the work is rushed
much of the syrup is scorched. BY the use OF
steam fair grade of syrup can he made from
frosted cane, that would be worthless if worked
by the old process. The pan is made with q
slight incline, so that the syrup will run out
at the lower end. A fifteen horse power boil
or is required to boil the juice and run the
crusher The business will not justify the pur
chase of such boiler and engine if they arc
to stand idle the remainder OF the year. AL
most every town has some manufacturer who
can furnish the required amount Of steam fol
less than it would cost to produce 1t for ont
purpose alone. An open shed is all the pro
lection required at that season Of the year.

We copy the following useful hints from the
Young Scientist: The efficiency of lathes,
scroll saws, sewing machines, and even watch
es, often depends upon the judgment and care
used in selecting lubricator, and this choice
is frequently lll-made Common kerosene oil
is to often injudiclously used in the place of
thicker or more bland oil, because the heat
produced by friction rapidly vaporizes the oil
and leaves the journal dry. Crude petroleum
for the same reason is only fitted for very slow
revolving journals, such as water-wheels. For
heavy machinery, or tor gearing, tallow and
black lead rubbed together is the best lubri-
cant, and is also the best for wagon and car
riage axels during hot weather. For light run
ming machinery sperm oil Is the best; good
olive oil that has not become rancid and acid
IS perhaps the second best, and for winter use
lard oil Is excellent, but it is rather too drying
to be a firstclass lubricant. Castor oil is bet
ter for axels in the winter, and black lead
with il is help at any time.

The successful farmer does nothing for a
livelihood but farm. If he has money, he in.
vests it in a way that will improve his farm
He informs himself as to his business and goes
to work in an intelligent manner. Upon such
farms no weeds stand as high as mans head
nor are fences neglected, buildings dilapldated
implements LEFT exposed to the weather, and
stock unsheltered and uncared for; but every
thing denotes thrift and enterprise.

from Darlington, Belmont, Dodge

The procession formed on High

8 o'clock, officers and members in
full regalia, and marched to the NJ.
+. church, where they were ad-
dressed BY Rev. Huntley, of Law
renee University, After which they
marched down Fountain street and
up High to the Lodge room; where
they broke ranks, with the under
standing that they, with their friends
were to report at : o'clock, sharp,
for the supper and entertainment.
At about half past seven the SER
vices commenced. The opening
address was delivered by p. G.,
John Eden; and was followed by
music, toasts and general soeiability.
Mrs. W. II. priestley and Mr.. S. T,
Osborne, by their fine singing and
playing added greatly to the success
of the musical part of the program.
AS It approached . o'clock, those in
the Hall began to adjourn in only
platoons and detachments, until a
few who were there with the evil
dent intention of nN going home
till morning, were left.
On the whole the exercises were
of such a character rs to he highly

supper was Of the kind rarely
equalled, and those who prepared
and served it, know just how sucl,
things should be done.
We have not been informed how
