To lake out Min and Coffee Stains.

These stains are very difficult to re-
move, especially from light colored and
finely finished goods. From wooden and
mixed fabrics they are taken out by
moistening them with a mixture Of one
part glycerine, nine parts water, and
oEe-half part aqua ammonia. This mix
ture Is applied to the goods by means OF
a brush, and allowed to remain for
twelve hours Occasionally renewing the
moisteuing). After this time, the

The Argument Against the Blind Bride.
American Farmer.

American Farmer.
We know not who invented this in
strument Of horse torture, but we know
he did not understand the anatomy anC
physiology of the eye of horse HUI
man vision is binocular--that is, we see
the same object with both eyes, and Sc
adjust the axis of vision that the object
appears single, though seen with both
eyes. But the eyes of the horse are
placed on the sides Of the head and the
axis Of each eye is nearly at right angles
with the longitudinal line of the body,
so that it is impossible that the same
object can be distinctly seen with two
eyes. Now, by binding the eye in the
direction in which it was intended in It's
construction that it should see, it is
forced to use an oblique vision, as if we
should cover the front of our optics and
be compelled to see only by the corner
OF our eyes. This unnatural constrained
Use of the eve must, to greater or less
extent, impair vision, if not entirely de-
stroy it. The object for which the blind
bride Is used is not accomplished by it.
y horse is more readily heightened
when he cannot see the object of his
dread than if he can have a fair view
of t. But it is surprising to observe
with what tenacity men hold on to an
absurd and cruel practice, when a mo-
ment's reflection would teach them bet
ter. Nineteen out of every twenty
horses you see in harness have
blind brides on, aud if you ask the
owner to explain its benefits, or why he
uses it, he will be utterly unable to
give rational answer. We are not sur
prised that draft horses are subject to
diseased eyss-we wonder that they are
not all blind.

Fodder Cora.

\ Weld Of y or - tons Of green fod-
der or 8 or tons Of dry fodder per acre
is very easily produced; and this Is
grown in one hundred days or less, leaving
the soil free to produce other crops while
not bearing this. The difficulty is not
to grow corn but 10 cure it, for q great
loss is occasioned by the common method
of drying the fodder. To avoid this loss,
the practice Of ensilage has been intro
duccd. Although fayorably inclined to
this practice from many years acqualn-
lance with it still there are obvious OBJ
iections to its use in common farm prac-
tice, and fla method Of dry curing corn
fodder can be found, by which all the
advantages Of partial and useful fer
mentation may be made available,
without mourning any Of the loss Of
nutritive matter which may result from
ensilage, q very important gain will be
secured. In curing fodder-cOrn that is,
corn grown specially for fodder and not
for grain, the first thing proper TO be done
is to cut it in the best stage Of growth
which is when in full blossom and con
tanning all its rich sap; then to tie it in
small sheaves and put them in close
stacks, where they may undergo par
tiaI heating and fermentation, chang
ing the crude clements Of the ceIlu'ose
and fibre into starch, gum and sugar
without decomposing any into useless
acid or alcohol and when in this best
condition. fixing in il By quick dry
ing, and then Storing it safely, This
process, when complete, will leave the
fodder in lis best condition, and in
state in which ii is not subject to
change and if this can be done we shall
then have in fodder-corn a most yalua-
bic product, easily and chcaply handled,
and one that is imperishablo and not
subject to any damage by accident or
neglect.-Dairyman

The ''Buffalo Gnat'' of the Mississippi
Valley.

This dreaded pest has appeared this
spring in immense numbers in Eastern
Arkansas, Western Tennessee, and
Western Mississippi, and the great de-
struction of cattle, horses, and mules
caused by it, has added to the distress of
the inhabitants of those sections of the
country caused by the unprecedented
floods. The particular species of .Sinau-
fum in question has not been determin-
ed. As a cheap way of protecting ami
mails, Professor Riley recommends to
wash them once or twice each day, or
oftener, if required, with water which has
been left standing for several days over
coal tar, or in which small quantity of
oil,of tar, or oil of turpentine, or any
similar material has been stirred.

L TIER FROM FIG BUG.

ED. MIYEg:-On Saturday evening the many friends of A. D. Whitney gathered at his residence, and gave him surprise party" i'll honor of the 49th anniversary of his appearance on the ''stage of life" The evening was spent in a social manner, with music, storytelling and card playing, all seeming to enjoy themselves to the greatest possible extent. Shortly after midnight the gathering broke up and all departed for their homes, we'll pleased and expressing the wish that Mr. w. might in the future enjoy many repetition of this happy event.
 Messrs. Taft, Stoddard & Co., have re- commenced work on the Golden Gate tun- mel. During the coming summer they will run the tunnel 250 or 300 feet in and along the vein. At present they have from 3i to feet of carbonate ore assaying well in gold and silver.
 w. NJ. Stevens has purchased the placer claim of John Hawkins, and commenced commissioning this morning, and will, no doubt, 'clean ED" enough at the end of the first weeks run to enable him to take trip 60 the States, and return with a help-mate
 George and James Wing, two of our future bonanza kings, this morning con- menced hydraulicing on their claim in Ga lena Gulch. Boys, you have good pros poets for the future, but don't forget your old friends until after you have had at least one clean-up.
 MT. Joseph Viles, who has been paying his respects to our camp for the past few days, left on the stage, Wednesday evening, en route for Tombstone, where he has some interests in mining property. Mir. " came here ostensibly to take look atsome valua- ble property in which he owns an interest. While here he seemed to be constantly on the wing, and visited many of the best mines in this section of the country. He expressed himself as greatly surprised with our mines and the outlook for the future as rich camp. He will return some time during the summer months. We uderstand that just previous to his departure he be- came interested in some valuable copper mines. Mr. Viles Is man of means, and We cannot welcome too many of such men among us, Yours, truly,

stalwarts as Good as Democrats.

MR. EDTUOR:-Would It not be well for the Democrat of this place to lament over the divisions of its own party, rather than shed crocodile tears over what he calls the dissensions between the Stalwarts and the Half Breeds in the Republican Party.
 The Stalwarts and Half Breeds among the Republicans are peculiarly growths of New York politics, so also is Tammany and the Hard Shell Democracy among the Demo crats The former are not more divergen; from each other than the latter, nor do the two sections of the former hate each other with more venom than does the Tanmany and Hard Shells. The Democrat asserts that Sargent's name IS synonym for all that Is corrupt in politics." Sargent's voice and action were always in harmony of the union Of the states as a nation. Can the Democrat and the leaders and buglemen of its party say as much, or does the Democrat believe that to uphold the union against treason is corruption in politics?
 Mir. Sargents political record will com pare favorably with the best of Democrats, and no one can truthfully assert anything against him as a private citizen. It is like Ceasars wife, above suspicion. As to his corrupt politics." it Is much easier said than proven; and if the assertions of the Democrat was of sufficient importance either to Mir. Sargent himself, or to his numerous friends to call for proof, it would find it, like the road to Jordan, a ''hard road to travel" Mir. Sargent has proven himself, while in Congress, to be one of the m st in- dustrious legislators of the bodies, of which he was member Corruption was never charged against him, except by those (and their number infnitesimaD who vainly sought to use him for their own base purposes. I do not say he has not been mistaken some times. Who has net! He was not, how ever mistaken in his long and persistent fight with Carpenter in the Fl Sobrante case, which has recently been decided by the Secretary of the Interior, whereby 60. 900 acres of valuable land in California has been loosened from the grasp of the most ruthless land grabber that ever cursed any community. The cry of Mr. Sargent's foes. that he engineered the Desert Land Act for his own and his friends benefit, turns out to be like all such stories. It was made entirely without any evidence, and its authors are now compelled to withdraw it. It. and others of like kind, were made for purpose, and although the purpose is seemingly accomplished, yet Mr. Sargent stands to-day fully vindicated.
