Bedding for Cattle.

There is no farm work. consider
ing the outlay. that pays so large
dividends as the procuring of some
sort of bedding for the cattle, for it
not only keeps them clean-a great
point in itself-but also promotes
heirgrowing and thriftiness, and the
additional accumulation for the ma
nure pile will more than pay for the
labor. There is usually "a large
amount OF litter that goes to waste.
that if thus utilized would be of
great service. Straw, oats, cut corn.
butts, etc, are valuable, and fine sand
is not Objectionable, for in itself it is
one OF the most cleanly of beds, and
as it is large absorber of LIQUIDS.
and is of real benefit to clay land.
there is no solid reason why few
loads of it may not be judiciously
used. \ farmer of our acquaintance
late in the fall takes his trucks puts
in long stakes, and makes a four foot
deep box and gathers forest leaves.
One man gathers them with rake and
basket. and another treads them In
to the basket. These leaves are stor.
ed away in an unused stable. and
what can be crowded in a bushel
basket makes ii fine bed for stable
of COWS for couple of nights. and
are fine absorbents. There is no
farmer but that can provide bedding
OF some kind, and also have drv.
wholesome stables for his cattle and,
If he consults his interests, and once
fully tests the value OF plenty of bed
ding, he will always in the future
practice bedding his cattle acd stock.

Gigantic Land Sale In Minnesota.

MINIATURES, Wis, Aug. l7.-To.
day negotiations were closed here fol
another immense sale of the lands OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
Railway Company in Minnesota, the
purchaser being A. Boysen, the Dan
ish Vice-Consul at this port. Boy
Boysen, is also interested in large
tracts of land in Iowa, which are be.
ing settled by Scandinavians, and il
is understood hat there are fifty
families on the way from Denmark
who will settle upon aportion of the
Minnesota lands which he secured
to-day. The Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul Company has now dis,
posed of the last of the lands which
il holds in Minnesota under its grant.
1t is understood that other families
will follow those now on the way
from Denmark, and that the tract
to-day sold to Boysen will become a
large Danish colony. Scott, the
agent for the Davenport banker,
Thompson, who bought 10000 acres
yesterday, was bidder for the land
sold to Boysen to-day. Failing in
his attempt. he is now negotiating
for his principal for 1900 or 5000
acres farther west.

Sparkling Too Long.

/ a young man was telling sor ae OF
his acquaintance how long he had
gone back on his girl because she
was sarcastic, and they asked him
to explain what he meant He raid
that he was spending the eve ming
with her and he noticed that. she
seemed to be absent minded or ired,
or something. About two O'Clock
in the morning he said she t:rted
up suddenly in alarm and excl AIM

she thought maybe it was the mix

said that she was too sarcastic, and
he would never 90 to see her again.
Well, probably he couldn't suit her
any better. Some fellows overdo
the thing entirely when they 60 to

them of the habit of wearing out Il
girl like some sarcastic remark like
that. Sometimes the father of the
girl Will come to the head of the
stairs and ask the girl if the morning
paper has come, or If she will not
tell her visitor to tell the hired girl
when he gets ready to 20. These
things may look TO a young man to
be sarcastic. but his conduct war
rants it. There Is no girl who is
well. and has the least desire to re-
main so, that wants to sit up all
night with ordinary young men.
She has to have some sleep OF she is
not worth the powder TO blow her
up. She can get all the information
that he has to impart i'll six or seven
hours, and every hour he stays after
that is dead loss. Some young
fellows never know enough TO 90.
They speak of it being time to 90
about ten o'clock, and the glrl, to be
polite, says: oh, don't hurry away,
ii is early yet, aud the galoot thinks
she mea as it, and goes into camp
for few hours more, and all the
time the girl is on nettl.s. She
wishes the house would take fire, or
that he would be seized with IL cramp
so he would get out. She knows

whole family, ana wishes he WIS in

The Habit ofSayjng.

Children who have little money
ought to practice saving something.
Many boys and girls of to-day hard

dreds by and by. Without having
the spirit of a miser, the person ac-
customed to save has more pleasure
in lying up than a spendthriit eyer
knows.
The way to keep money is TO
earn it fairly and honestly. Money
so obtained is pretty certain TO abide
with its possessor. But money that
is inherited, or that III any way

came. The young man who begins
by saving few dollars month, and
thriftily increases his store-every
coin being representative Of good,
solid work, honestly and manfully

spend the last half of his life in af-
fuence and comfort, than he who,
in his haste to become rich, obtains
money by dashing speculations, or

Dan Dougherty OF Philadelphia
the Irish orator, is on board the City
of Rome, with his wife and two
daughters, going to the Swiss Eugar-
dine. Mr.. Dougherty, for the man
who put Hancock in nomination at
Cincinnati. is not so much elated rs
me might expect over the Democrat
ic prospects in Pennsylvania, He
said: '::The party has selected for

Mr.. Pattison is not only young

How TO Milk.

Much milk gets tainted with nox-
ious or bad odors before it reaches
the bail. Some persons, and hired
help especially, have a habit of wet
ting their fingers every once in a
while, and then wetting the cows

process causes much foul stuff to

This is all wrong-a COW can be
lniiked as easy with dry hands as

udder should be washed with tepid
water and allowed to dry before

hard and tough to draw the COW
had better be turned into beet, or
kept to raise calves from. Ii Is

Controlling Dreams.

sell. and as a result has announced
to the world that it is possible To
controll dreams and make them
either pleasant or otherwise. His
method is to stimulate the brain
through the agency of heat, and to
place them in certain positions. He
finds that by bandaging his head
with layer of wadding his dreams
always become sane and intelligent.
AS regards the position of the
body, the results, so far as the
nature of the dreams are concerned,
are varied. For example, when he
lay upon his back he experinced
luxurious and sensual dreams.
To sleep on the right side brought
him dreames which were absurd
and full of exageration, and which
brought old matters vividly back to
his mind. While lying on his left
side the exaggerated character of the
visions disappeared. They became
sensible and intelligent, and recalled
more recent experinces.-Tbe phe-
nomenon of speech in slumber was
also more apt to be noted while the
body lay in posture.

She Held Wildcat by the Throat.

On the 3lst of July, Mrs. Griffith
Thompson, living near Bayou Chicot,
Louisiana, observing cominotion
among the cattle near the house,
went to see what the matter was,
when full-erown wildcat leaped
upon her and fastened his teeth in
her left arm. She Immediately
grasped the savage creature by the
throat with the right hand and call
ing tor assistance in vain, held the
eats throat while it was biting and
scratching her, until she choked it To
death. Ii never relaxed its hold un-
til dead. The lady was somewhat
injured, but We are glad TO know not
seriously. She is certainly Il plucky
woman.

for their surplus supplies. The idea
of building up demand for grain,
resting upon the sufferings of hu-
manity, whether from famine, pesti-
lence or war, possesses no element
of charity to recommend it TO legis-
lative enactments. What the farm
er wants is home market near his
own doors. and this can only be Sc
cured by fostering successful manu-
factories. in every part of theStates.
Our farmers are intelligent readers,
and have long since reached The
ability TO count the cost OF gather
ing crop and the expense of ship
ping by rail or canal, to understand
the difference in receipts after ex-
peases have been paid, etc. and he
that reads knows that during The
recent period of prosperity the home
market has consumed ninty-iwo per
cent. OF farm products.
The time is too recent for the
farmer to forget the relative differ
ence between tariff for revenue and
tariff for protection. he cannot for
get that his corn was used for fuel
because he had neither home or for
eign market during the period of
Tariff for revenue only" The cry
has been, encourage imports and
YOU expedite exports" Buy Eng
lish manufactures. and We Will buy
your grain :" but has this ever been
realized? For ten years from 1870
to 1860 the difference between
imports and exports was $3.50,
579.625 in favor of imports, and
to meet these. vast sums OF our
American gold were sent, and not
our cereals or manufactures to Eu-
rope. During this decade Califor-
MIA produced one billion one hun
dred million dollars in gold, and yet
the nation was financially wrecked.
on the other hand, during the ten
years from 1860 to 1870 the differ
ence between imports and exports
was S757, ,32S, ,454 in favor ofeXports. |
These are facts that should cause the
farmer to watch with deep interest
the present movement, and deter
mine by the exercise OF his suffrage,
that this subject Of tariff is coniided
to the party that has made it one OF
Its fundamental principles. The
business interests of the American |
farmer are as closely welded to the |
Republican party as are those of the !
manufacturer and laboring man.

The Big Crops.

The corn crop, according to the
Secretary of the State Beard of Ag
riculture, continues in a favorable
condition. The WELD of 1882 will
in all probability reach 200,OO0,0Oo
bushels and brings at least 100000,
900. The Kansas oat crop is the
heaviest ever known, and it is all
safe. Fifty or sixty bushels to the
acre is not an uncommon yield, the
acreage was placed at j23, 600, being
an increase over 1881 of "a per cent.
The crop will, it is estimated,
amount to 2l,000,000 bushels. Re-
ports of the most hattering natur {
regarding the wheat yield are still
coming in. Threshing shows that
counties which were estimated at
eighteen to twenty bushels an acre
are turning out twenty-five to thirty
