Hired Help.

Much has been written and many dill
ferent plans proposed as to the best and
most economical plan of hiring neces-
sary help about the farm. The old say
ing, eff you want a job half done, sendl
if well done, go yourself is very appk
cable at the farm, but, alas for hsmaa
endurance! there are times when on an
ordinary farm no one man can begin to
keep up with the work to be done, and
the farmer is obliged to look to some
one else. On many of the larger farms
only two, and many times three or four
hands are kept busy all the year around,
and especially is this the case where
much stock is kept, and where it is the
rule to feed all that is raised on the
farm and sell the products in condensed
forms. Where this is the case hiring
by the year is best, as by that means
you are not expecting a change at the
end of every month, your help gets
better and better posted as to your way
81 working and manners of feeding and
attending to your stock, while the help,
knowing he is sure of his place, takes
satisfied ard will look more to the in
terest of his employer than if he were
only working by the month. He soon
understands what is required of him.
and is better prepared to perform his
part.
On large farms where help is required
continuously the surest and most relia-
bic help is obtained by having men with
families, furnishing them with @ small.
comfortable house and garden patch
and paying them by the year. Labor
ers OF this class are, as a rule, better
content, less likely to want to change,
and more Trustworthy. and they will
look more to their employers inter-
ests, as they know that their living and
that of their families depend upon their
faithful performance of their work and
onthe success Of their employers fnan-
cially.
Day help is generally the dearest of
all, as the laborer demands higher
wages where he works by the day than
If he is working by the month or year.
/ Then he has no interest except to put
in the time as easily as possible, as he
has no assurance of anything further
when night comes. hence he does not
accomplish as much as if employed per-
manently. Then, generally speaking,
the class who 90 around working by the
day are those who have not been able
to secure work by the month or year
generally the poorest of the laboring
classes as regards ability and willing
ness to work. This is not always the
case as circumstances sometimes COM
pei the best of hands to be working by
the day. A good, reliable hand can
generally obtain steady work with very
little trouble, and if he has a reputa-
ton for doing good. honest work. he
will find very little difficulty in securing
work by the year or month.-Cor. Rural
. Ne,O Yorker.

Parasites Of the Fly.

A microscopical discovery, which may
prove highly important in sanitary
point of view, has been made by Thorn
as Taylor, M. D., microscopic of the
Department of Agriculture. About q
year ago, while dissecting out the pro-
boscis of a common house fly, Dr.. Taylor
discovered minute snake-like animals
moving quickly from the proboscis.
Continuing his experiments from time
to time since then, he found that house
flies are very frequently inhabited by
these animals. He has found them gen.
orally in the proboscis of the fly, al
though sometimes they are found in the
abdomen, and he thinks that since flies
are carriers of these minute snake-like
animals, they may in like manner be
conveyers of contagious germs, much
smaller bodies. These animals meas
ure about eight one-hundredths to one
tenth of an inch in length, and about
two one-thousandths of an inch in di.
ameter. They are classed under the
Nematoide, genus Anguillula- They
are much larger than trichine or So
called vinegar eels. Mr.. Taylor has
found as many as seven of these ami.
mails in the proboscis of one fly, and
three more in the abdomen. ten in all.
Sometimes none are discovered, some
times one only, but frequently four are
seen. Their presence is usually indi-
Gated by rolling movement in the an
terion portion of the proboscis. When
this is observed, if drop of water be
placed upon it, the animals will readily
leave the proboscis and take to the
water. They are frequently observed
passing in and out of the proboscis, &c
and from the water, as if the proboscis
was their natural home. a power OF
twenty-five diameterS is sufficient to OBJ
serve their general movements, but foi
examinations of their structure from 25C
to 500 diameters is necessary. They
are perceptible to the naked eye In GER
tain light. Mr.. Taylor proposes to make
the experiment of feeding flies on tri.
chinosed meat to test the possibility OF
trichine or the eggs of trichine being
taken up by flies. Scientific american.

Pleasant Remedy for Toothache.

DR.. T. c. Osborn, in the Medical Brief,
states that his cook came to him with
swollen cheek, asking for something to
relieve the toothache with which she
had been suffering all night. He was
on the point of sending her to dentist
when it occurred to him that there was
in the house vial of compound tincture
of benzoin.

An Agreeable StOrekeeper.

Old Jim Doolittle used to keep store
in Cottonwood, Neb., but he is now out
of the business. He was very peculiar
salesman. If q customer didn't buy
everything he looked at Doolittle re-
garded him as an open enemy. He
took very little stock in the motto: mo
trouble to show the goods" In conse-
quence of his peculiar method of trans
acting business Doolittle's trade dwin-
died until he was able to enjoy all of
that solitude for which his nature seemed
to yearn.
One day lady strayed into Doolittle' 8
store and timidly asked the poor boon
of looking at some cheap calicos. Doc
little chung heroically to his nail key,
and kept right on whiting.
eyer want to look at some prints, do
yer?' he slarled
eff you please" replied the lady.
"Well, now, eff yer air going to buy
some, I'll show 'em down; eff yer amt
I don't propose to unlimher the goods
and muss up the counter"
The lady fed.
Aman from the North Loup stumbled
on to Doolittle's store and went in to
buy pair of boots. The stock of men 8
foot wear was not very extensively sort
ed up, and every pair the Loup Fork
man tried were too small for him. The
last pair of split leather .kips were
mournfully laid aside, and with q sickly
smile he said he guessed he had better
go somewhere else.
"Then You don't want no boots ter
day." snapped Doolittle.
Eyes, I've got to have sum butes,
pardner, but it seems these air are all
too small enough"
eyer don't act like man as wanted
any boots" said Doolitrle, glaring at
him like wounded hen-hawk.
"They're too small, pardner."
''Don't you call me pardner, you old
lantern-jawed snoozer. Yer one of

door.

hud-dobbler. Here, hadn't you better

It'll fit one of your hog-fat feet"
Something like crowd gathered in
front of Doolittle's store Immediately
after this colloquy. There seemed to
be a kind ofs theatrical entertainment
going On inside. Anon the Loup Fork

head few times, and then he would

The fact that there have been thir-
teen deaths of boys between the ages
OF ten and sixteen years this week
from lock-jaw (tetanus), and nearly all
from wounds in the left hand from the
toy blank cartridge pistol, has attracted
general attention to the subjec.. The
toy pistol most generally in use by boys
this summer is about four inches in
length, and explodes a blank cartridge
in a metallic case, with paste-board
or other thick paper wad, but carries
no ball or shot in the cartridge. In Or
der to insert the cartridge the breach of
the barrel is raised by pressing on the
finger-piece forward of the trigger, but
to do this the boy takes hold of the bar
rel with his left hand, the muzzle press
ing against the palm of the hand, near
the ball of the thumb frequently, and
raises the hammer with his right hand.
In loading, however, unless the utmost
care is exercised. the hammer slips
from the finger and explodes the car
fridge, while the barrel is held against
the palm of the left hand. The full
minated powder, the wad, or the metal
lie case of the cartridge, infiicts the
wound, which is often SO slight that
physician is not called in, even if the
boy does not, Spartan-like, conceal his
wounds from his parents until he is
past relief. Many physicians say that
it is not any special pungency or acrid-
ness in the Illuminating powder which
causes lock-jaw, but that lacerated or
jagged wound in the palm of the hand
is more likely to result in lock-
jaw, because of the network of
nerves and the numerous blood
vessels which concenter there and
radiate from that point. One of
the largest of these nerves, near the
thumb, connects with the muscles of
the back of the neck, and susceptibility
to lock-jaw follows an injury to the
nerve near the ball of the thumb, espe-
cially, as well as to the other nerves liz
the palm. Some physicians also sus-
pect that the Illuminating powder used
in the manufacture of these cartridges
has poisonous property which, infect
ing the blood, incites lock-jaw. One
at least of the fatal cases from the use
of the toy pistol came from hurt so
slight at first that the skin was hardly
grazed. One physician is of opinion
that there is an epidemic condition in
the atmosphere which causes lock-jaw
to follow so rapidly such wounds as are
produced by the toy pistol. The toy
cartridge pistol referred to sells at retail
for about twenty cents apiece. There is
smaller make of toy pistol selling
from one to five cents. which has no
barrel, and, instead of cartridge,
small, wafer-shaped chemical explosive
is laid on a round plate on which the
hammer falls. No serious accidents
have been reported from these, though
sometimes when carelessly held too
close to the face the illuminate has in
flicted slight singing. In reference
to the more dangerous instrument, an
intelligent merchant says that as long
as they can be bought boys will have
them. For his part he would be glad if
the sale could be stopped everywhere,
but, perhaps, the only way to effect that
purpose will be to prohibit the manu-
facture of the pistol by severe penalties.
