St. Paul until 7:30 p. M, but upon
being apprlsed of their presence the
Governor at once telephoned that he
would receive them at his residence
in Minneapolis at 8 p. M, and the
committee took the first train Cor
Minneapolis. At the appointed
hour the committee waited upon the
Governor, and after two hours
consultation returned to st. Paul,
satisfied that the good hearted exc.
cutive OF Minnesota would do all in
his power, to ALLEVIATE the sufferers.
He handed the committee his check
for 500 to start the good work. On

MEDICINES We are mediclne-taking
people-at least to far too great an extent.
''What shall take?" is asked far more
often than "What shall dot" The aged
and experienced among medical men, as a
rule. recommend but little-and that only
when indicated by common sense. But
the people will take lt-buying it from
peddlers, horse-jockeys, grocers, etc. ALI as
ignorant of the nature OF the remedies and
of diseases as themselves. In most
instances, when feverish, if one would
bathe, sweat, fast, breathe more of the
pure air of heaven, baSk IN the sun, drink
freely of pure water, keep calm and quiet,
give up tobacco and whisky, the fever
would ttarve. Pure air renovates the
blood far more than sarSaparilla; the light
of the sun is one of the best anodynes;
good food is one Of the best tonlcs; fast
ing and exercise are among the best ap-
petizers. If we will but take care of our
selves, eat only plain food and only what
nature demands, cease to overwork anC
fret, be- regular In all our habits anC
sleep all we can fairly, we shall take less
medicine.

SHADE FOE POULTRY.-Poultry need as
much protection during the summer from
the fierce rays of the sun as they do IN
winter from the severe cold, although far
too many of our breeders lose sight of this
very important fact, and suffer correspond
ing losses in consequence. Birds COM
PEELED to stay in the yards which have
little, if any, shade during the entire sum-
mer, with the sun pouring down on them
with the intensity ii does in July and Au-
gust, cannot thrive, while they are rem
dered much more liable to disease and dis
order. 1t pays, and pays well too, to give
the fowls comfort at all times. and il costs
but little 10 furnish the necessary shade,
no matter how large the runs may be.
Trees, such as plums, peach and apple,
should al once be planted in the runs, espe-
cially the former, which seems to thrive
better there than the other kinds named.
As these trees will not afford much shade
for few years, temporary shades must be
made by making skeleton sheds of poles
along the sunny sides OF the runs, and then
covering them with boughs, cedar limbs.
or almost anything cheap and convenient,
which will afford the necessary shelter
from the sun. These may not look very
handcone, but then the utility compensates
fully for the lack Of beauty.

The UsFs OF FALLEN LEAvrs,
have to be gathered up. Tney are excel
lent to mix with hot-bed material, and.
where particable, should be saved for this
purpose. They do not heat 80 rapidly as
stable manure, and In this have an advant-
age; as tempering the violence makes the
manure last longer and maintain a more
regular heat. They are excellent material
to put round cold frames to protect half
hardy plants. A board is put up to the
height of The frame boards, aud about
foot or more from them, and the leaves
in between. If the plants are somewhat
tender, the bottom of the frames NAV be
filled few feet with the leaves. These
leaves after having been two or three years
decaying make admirable stuff for putting
and plants for flowers general.

AGRICULTURAL.

WALKING HORSES. Running the risk of
beipg set down as an old fogy, we will
say that in our opinion the best gait a
horse ever had for every day use is walk;
but it is O gait that not one in ten possess
es. Colts are not trained to walk. Young
America wants more speed. Horses trained
to walk fast would be d greater benefit to
farmers in general than fast trOtters, as al
most all of his work has to be done with a
walk. Horses that are engaged in hauling
on the roads, that are trained to walking
fast, will make a longer distance IN u day
than horses will that are urged To- trot at
every convenient place, because, when a
horse commences TO walk after a trot, he
will go much slower than his comm m
gait if kept on walk, and the consequence
is that he will loose more than he gained.
Where horseback travelling Is indulged in,
especially over muddy roads. any other
gait than walking is rendered impossible,
and vet horse that has been trained to
wal king fast even over bad roads, will
make from four to five miles an hour, but
since the introduction of light wagons a
horse would be expected To make u greater
| distance when hauling the wagon over the
same road, though it would be by the aid
of the whip, and very much to the preiud-
ice of the poor animal. These one-horse
buggles have put horse back riding out OF
fashion, and now good walking horse is
more rare than one that can trot mile in
less than three minutes. 1t is, however,
! TO the interest of the farmer that he should
train his horse to walk fast.

CONSTIPATION may be removed by drink

To OBTAIN good nights sleep, sponge
the entire length of the spine with hot
water for ten or fifteen minutes.

good for any kiud of sores.
FoR neuralgia, take a good handful of

BEDs.-Our beds are our night clothes
and ought to be kept as clean as our
shirts and coats. Woolen blankets are
healthier than quilts; put heavy United
States army blanket over a kettle full of
hot water and see how fast the steam
makes its way though the weft; quilt
would stop it like an iron i'd, and thus
tend to check the exhslations of the human
body In order to disinfect a quilt you
have first to loosen the pressed cotton; a
woolep blanket can be steamed and dried
In a couple of hours. For similar reason
q straw tick is better than q horS chair
mattress, though woven-wire mattress
is perhaps preferable to both. Feather
beds are recognized nuisance. Children
over 10 years should sleep alone, or at
least under separate blankets, if the bed
steads do not reach around.

GLYCRRINE IN FLATULENoY AND ACIDITY.
An old gentleman, who for many years
suffered from distressing acidity, read in a
daily paper that glycerine added to u ilk
prevents its souring, and he reasoned thus:
"If glycerine prevents milk turning sour,
why should 1t not. prevent me turning
sourp" and he resolved to try the efficacy
of glycerlne for his acidlty. The success
o. his experiment was complete, and when
ever tormented by his old malady he cures
himself by recourse to glycerine. In
deed, he can now take articles of food from
which he was previously compelled to alb
stain, provided always that he takes dram
of glycerine Immediately before, with, or
directly after his food. Since this was
made public several physicians have pre-
scribed glycerine in acidity and tlatulency
with the most happy results.

COUNT THE CcsT.-No man is fit to man.
age farm who does not think beforehand
what is the best to do, and which is the
best way to do it. Work without plan,
has been the blunder of many who pretend
to be farmers. Raising crops without
knowledge as to their cost, or thought as to
whether they will sell or not, has sapped
many fortune. More fore thought in the
management of farm Is required than in
most any other pursuit followed by man.
and the forehanded farmer Is always the
one who counts the cost, and closely calcu-
lates all matters that appertain to the farm,
not that farmer is necessarily Obliged to
make shifts and turns in order to succeed.
but simply to count the cost.

GRUBs IL the head of sheep are believed
TO be caused by the gadfy, which depos-
its It's eggs in the nostrils of the sheen
during the summer and autumn; although
hey cause much pain they are not usually
fatal. To prevent them, apply tar to the

the grubs are once hatched, blow tobacco
smoke up the nostrils or syringe the nose

tnat the time speut in destroying weeds in

would save time in cultivating hoed crops
they must keep the weeds from seeding as
much as possible in all parts of the ia rm;
little carelessness in this respect will

How CHICKENS GIT OUT OF SHELLs.-Take
an egg out of nest on which hen has
had her full time; carefully holding it 10
the ear, turning it around, you Will find
the exact spot which the little fellow is
picking on the inside of the shell; this he
will do until the inside shell is perforated,
and the shell is forced outward as a small
scale, leaving hole. Now, if you will
take one of the eggs in this condition from
under the hen, remove 1t to the house or
some other suitable place, put it in box
or nest, keeping it warm and moist, as
near the temperature of the hen as posi-
bic (Which may be done by laying it be-
tween two Bottles OF warm water upon
some.cotton or woody, and lay glass over
the box or nest, then you can sit or stand,
as Is most convenient, and witness the
true moduS OperdRdi. Now watch the
little fellow work his way into the world,
and you will be amused and instructed, as
have often been. After he has got his
opening he commences nlbbling motion
with the point of the upper bill on the
outside of the shell, always working to
the right Gf you haYe the large end OF the
egg from you and the hole upward) until
he has worked his way almost around, say
with one-half all inch In 81 perfect circle;
he then forces the cap or but end of the
shell of, and then has chance TO straight
en- his neck, thereby loosening his legs
somewhat, and so, by their help, forcing
the body from the shell.
