wAroH TIE OBILDRIN's FEET.

Lifelong discomfort or sudden death
often comes TO children through the in.
attention or carelessness Of the parents
A child shonld never be allowed to GO
to sleep with cold feet, the thing to be
last attended to is to see that the feet
are dry and warm. Neglect Of this has
often resulted in dangerous attack of
Group, diphthcria, or fatal sore throat
Always on coming from school, on en-
tering the house from visit or GRAND
in rainy, muddy or thawy weather the
child should remove its shoes, and The
mother herself should ascertain whetl.-
or the stockings are the least Bit damp.

feet held before the fire till perfectly
dry and another pair Of shoes put ON.
The reserve shoes aud stockings should
DO kept where they are good and dry,

The age of horned cattle may gener-
ally be known by rings on their horns
til their tenth year, after that time
they give NO indication Of age further
than that the animal has passed III
tenth year. The first ring appears on
the horn after the animal has passed
two years old-soou after - general
rule though sometimes before that age
During the third year the ring gradu.
ally increases and at three years Of age
it is completely formed. The second
ring appears during the fourth yea
and at the fifth year it Is complete. AT.
ter that period an additional ring 4
formed each year. This rule is sum
cicntly plain and even . young farmeI
needs but little practice to enable him
to read cows age on her horns. A
COW with three rings is six years old
with four she is seven years old. NJ

TIE MEN WHO GRIND 0URHLoUR.

An article in Rathbuns Reb0lfing
Quarterly is suggestive Of an amount
of crookcdncss upon the part of the
millers that few will be hardly prepared
to believe although we suppose that it
is really true. According to this article
the miller is troubled with the very
prevalent belief that if he is strickly
honest he cannot compete with others
| in the business. In other words he
estecms it particular duty to himself
to keep the customer from getting only
about SO much -four to the bushel, so as
to prevent him from expecting too much
in tho future. It is true the statement
is made that the miller alleges that he is
particular to give the customer all the
-four he ought to havc-that il, all that
he ought TO have according to the mill
cr's Observation-Disclosures he gets any
thing for grinding it or not. That state
mcnt, however, involves any thing ex-
ccpt sound business principles. Ii o
man takes to the mill wheat that will
grind thirty-five pounds of -four to the
bushel, he ought to have that amount,
and If his wheat grinds forty pounds to
the bushel, he ought to have forty
pounds. To this no one will attempt to
offer opposition upon any sound prin-
ciples of reasoning. But We are told
that the miller is not certain after ali
that we get the proper quantity Of -four.
He looks at the grist, lifts 1t, and then
gucsses at what he thinks We ought 10
have. If il is found that the -four is
overreaching the standard, the follow
ing grist is let ON before the former is
entirely finished.
The Srticle in question sums up the
matter by concluding that the miller's
success depends upon his ability %

wheat, guesses at the quality Of wheat,

seems to he on par with Vanderbilt's
management of railroads. He says he
does not know what it costs to run
them and so as natural consequence
he simply charges enough to make an
enormous profit anyhow.
The following extract may he Of val

beg leave to inform them il they do not

DOES cuLrvA11os mcRlAssRAmrALL'

Samuel Auzhey, Pm, D., L.. d.
Professor of Natural Sciences in the
University of Nebraska, at Lincoln, in
his sketches of the physical geography
and geology of the state--a work pub
lished within the present year and in
which an exhaustive discussion Of this
subject may be sceu-says: "lt is the
great increase in the absorptive power
of the soil wrought by cultivation that
has caused, and continues to cause, an
increasing rainfall in the state" The
professor after repeated tests made in
different ways reached this result "The
mean of fifty of these experiments gives
an average absorptive power ofcnitivat-
ed ground over unbroken prairie Of
nine 10 one. To make allowance how
ever for possible mistakes win make
eight to one the basis of our future cal
culators on this subject" Iquote fur
ther: 'sBefore the settlement of the
state and before the consequent calti-
walton of the soil, what rain did fall, as
already stated, soon left the state
through creeks and rivers. Now the
greater part ofwhat does fall on all
cultivated or broken ground is retained
by the soil which becomes reservoir
of water to supply growing crops aud to
give greater humidity to the atmosphere
this in my judgment gives o clear
explanation to Mr.. Sherman.s difficult
ty aud conclusive answer to his
doubt.
Prof. Aughey claims that more rain
does now fall in Nebraska than former.
", and that this rainfall is increasing
with the march Of settlement and con-
sequcnt cultivation and gives the fol-
lowing proofs of his position: l. The
appearance of new springs. He knows
of $50 such springs that have appeared
since he..has lived in the state. z. The
appearance of water in old creek beds
where it apparently had not been Aow-
ing for ages many of which have bc-
come living streams. 8. The constant
| and sure retreat of the buflalO-grass.
And here is another Of Mr.. Sherman's
points fairly answered. AS late as 1872
the buflalo-gr;sss was the most "conspic-
uous vegetable form west of the Mis-
souri,. Now how changed. 1t has al
most entirely disappeared for 200 miles
west of the Missouri There is COM
paritivcly little of il now in the third
hundred. Every year it is retreating
further westward" Other proofs might
be given to show that MIR. Sherman's
conclusions are not in keeping with all
the facts. It seems to me after all that
it may not take "until A. D. 5OO,OOO''-
the return of the next glacial period
nor yet GOO years till oil the vast plain
from the Missouri to the Rocky mount
aims will be habitablc ground for indus
trious farmers. "a land that is suppli-
ed with moisture in such climate ne
this to produce food for such an afiiu-
encc of animal life can always be made
available for the purpose Of high civ
ilization." G.. p JVearer N. II. Of the

With dying babe, at cold hearthstone
And list to the sound Of the drifting snow
Oh, how unlike to long ago!
These giIded dreams have passed away.
That filed my heart on its marriage day,
And the trembling tear drops silent now,
Are tho tribute to years long sgo.
Oh, the hidden power Of the sparkling wine
Can Danish love from its hottest shrine,
And place In its stead wreath Of woe,
In the faded hopes Of long ago.
The crowBing joy of woman's life,
Is breathed In the blissful name of wife;
And the deepest pang that her heart car

In the blighted love of long ago.

Boards of Supervisors.
poNroroc. Mrss.. August 1o. Is

PoNTOToC, Mss, August 10, 1881.
EDlroRs CLARION: 1t is a well known
fact that all or most of the counties in our
State are great sufferers from the ineompe-
tancy of our Boards of County Supervisors.
And 1t will continue to be so as long as
they are paid four dollars per day and
mileage, and are exempted from road work
and jury service. The four dollars per day
and mileage is an inducement to incompe-
tent men, to come out as candid ates and
canvass the counties for the offices. Intel
igent. capable men will not eondescend to
do so fot tie sake of the Office, and the peo-
pie are COMPEL ed to take such a. are can
didates. Now if there was no pay there
would be no candidates And the voters
would on The day of election vote for such
men as they wanted, rs in the olden times,
and have good boards. The exemption
from road work and jury service = a sutfi-
cient compensation, as man would or
should have to work as many days on the
roads as it would be necessary to employ
in attending to the business of the county.
But under the present system they have as
many meetings as they can find an excuse
for, and remain In session as long as possi-
bic for the pay that is in it and run the
county to twice the expense there is any
use for in many cases extracting money
from the people for damages done instead of
services rendered.
Every intelligent man knows that the
Office of County Supervisor is one Of the
most important Offices IN the gift of the
people. The best men in the county would
serve without pay were it made position
Of honor and not pay and rendered without
solicitation. The writer would suggest as
4 remedy for this nuisance. for the voters
in AT tie eountles 10 let the candidates
Tor the Iegizlature) know that before they
enuId ret their votes that they would have
10 pledge themselves e. change the law in
regard "a the pay Of County Supervisors
from one Of paw 70 one of honor.
