An Essay on Man.
Man was made in dry weather.
He was made of dust.

Man was made IN dry weather.
He was made of dust.
Quite a number have never recovered
from their creation; they are still dry.
It's mans nature to be discontented
Adam had n monopoly, but he could
not be happy without some one to crow
over.
For awhile he knocked around over
the Garden of Eden, and then went to
the house, but he had to cook his own
supper; there was no stOve-wood chop
ped, and things were in bad shape gen
orally.
The next morning it was the same
way. He had to make his own bed and
sweep out. His stockings were dirty,
and his arm would go through a hole in
the sleeve. So he was dissatisfied.
The next night, when he went to sleep,
the Creator punished him by making a
woman-a great misfortune to the race.
Pursuit in this case is said to be
swceter than possesson.
After Eve got acquainted with her
mate she vowed that all the men in the
world were not worth Adam. Goliath
was a man.
He was a bigger man than Grant, but
he couldn't stand as many sings.
The family man resembles the oyster
on the half shell.
The shell is known ut home-the soft
side abroad.
Some men carry this resemblance in
their faces. Many men have counten-
ances like oysters.
Job is said to have been a very pa
tient man.
He had boils all over him. -
Men now boil all over themselves
when the preacher reaches "thirteenth-
ly" on hot day, and never think OF
tho grandeur of jobs example.
1t is natural for a man to disregard
good example..-BoSton World.

The National Lice Stock Journal, Chi
cego. in its January issue says expert
enced breeders do not require to be told
that when the SOW is once safely in pig,
she is not fit subject for the neglect SO
often given her, under the erroneous
supposition that brood SOW is the best
off when initiating the wild hog-plow-
ing the ground for the roots of grass,
weeds, etc. If driven to this, in the q b.
sence of suitable provision for her in
creasing demands for food, she may do
fairly If given the range of the farm Dur
ing soft weather, but the enterprise will
be ruinOus one upon the meadow and
pasture. Roots, though they be the
roots of meadow grass, will be rclishcd
by the brood SOW, and will add materi-
ally to her thrift. Being deprived of
grass, and in a breeding state, nature
calls for something to take its place. and
the provident man will see to it that the
system is not allowed to become morbid
and foverish from the use of an exclus-
lively dry diet. Corn being generally
the winter feed, the system Of the SOW,
II corn be continued up to narrowing
time, will be In most indifferent state
for the parturiont process, and in worse
one for free yield of milk the animal
being liable to feverishness before far
rowing. and doubly SO afterwards. Sows
that are matured In growth do not re-
qnire the care in feeding that should be
given to young sows, as these should be
made to grow freely during the winter,
and up to the time of pigging. Espec-
tally should both classes be so fed as to
keep the bowels open during the entire
winter, and the system all the time in
that state popularity termed ''cool."
The term is not strictly correct, yet, as
generally understood. it has rather
useful meaning.

Tobacco

The tobacco crop of Virginia has long
been q source Of great revenue, and
there was time when any agriculture
outside of tobacco-raising was supposed
to be losing business. Tobacco land
must be prepared as carefully as the
average farmer would prepare garden.
The beds for the plants are generally
prepared on q piece of new land, and in
localities sheltered from winds and hav-
Ing southern exposure. The ashes
from the burned shrubs, leaves and limbs
are carefully worked into the bed. The
seed Is then sown as we SOW for cabbage,
and the plants come up the same. When
they are large enough to transplant they
are set about three feet apart, and about
four thousand five hundred plants is the
average for an acre of ground. At a
certain age the plants must be "pruned,"
which usually consists of breaking off
the shoots and suckers and pinching off
the head, and again the tobacco worms
must be hunted off the plants. Tobacco
growers generally put IN corn and other
crops as well. so that hands can be
shifted from one growing product to
another as necessity requires or the state
of the crop permits. A fair average per
acre is seven hundred pounds. This
must be sun dried on scaffolds in the
fields, and afterward hung in barns and
smoked. The average price for this
heavy tobacco is seven cents per pound.
An acre of land is thus made to yield
about one thousand pounds to every
hand employed, and the care of the to-
baccO is only one-haH their labor.

Ancient American Cities.

The discovery of a deserted city, sixty
miles long, cut out of the rocky face OF
n winding cliff, rewarded the efforts OF
MIR. StevensOn's Smithsonian Institution
exploring party during its researches in
New Mexico and Arizona the past sea-
son. This is by far the most important
find yet made among the ancient haunte
of the cliff dwellers. Some of the
houses contain four or five dwellings,,
one on top of the other, and on the plat
eau above the cliff were found many
ruins of temples of worship built Of
well-cut square stones. A comparison
of the collections of pottery and imple-
mcnts gathered in the cliff houses by
the exploring party with those obtained
in the Pueblo villages strengthened the
theory TIT the Pueblo Indians are the
degenerate descendants of the once pow
erful race that built the ruined cities of
the plains, and then, retreating before
some warlike foe, carved out these sin.
gular dwellings on the sheer walls OF
dizzy precipices, and found in them, it
may be for centuries. both fortresses and
homes. Perhaps the hieroglyphic in
scriptions seen by Mr.. Stevenson will
one day be deciphered, and be found to
contain the tragic history of the wasting
away, by wars and famines, of this i'll
fated people, who, like the coneys of
the Bible, made the rocks their refuge.

A Poor Place for Marrying.

Washington is well equipped for a
society season. 1t is the most infatuat-
ing place in North America for old Ia
dies, and even young ones, SO many
houses being open to well-appearing
people, rs in foreign capitals. Young
girls who come here in the holidays
are hardly able to study any more, and
often are spoiled for any other city; yet
it is bad place to make marriages.
A young lady, the relative of one of the
most powerful men in the country, came
to Washington several years ago with
charms, intelligence, and no secondary
place i'm the household, but rather the
first. / once ventured to ask her why
she had not married, since all were
praising her. ''Why," she said. "if you
mean business, Washington is no place
at all for girl. A young woman is in
danger of throwing herself upon society
and losing herself in its delights, and
suddenly she turns from her mirth and
says; i see signs of time and must
marry and then, perhaps, she has to
take clerk out of one Of the depart
ments. No." continued the young wo-
man, washington is dear place, but
not for business. If you want to marry,
go to some commercial town, where
young man tied to his business, feels the
need of wife, and can supply her
with nothing but money. Washington
has few available young men. Hash

Hog Cholera Explained.

What is hog cholera By the peo-
pie every disorder from which q pig
dies-and the pigs ailments are numer-
Gus and varied-is called cholera. DIR.
Detmers, scientific veterinary surgeon
of Chicago, employed by the Govern
ment, calls the infectious disease that
makes such ravages among the herds
swine plague He has carried on the
most careful and thorough experiments
at Champaign, ILL.,, near the Industrial
University, for some years. There is
no doubt that he has determined the
true character of the disease, and in
his late report he has laid down princi-
Piles which will ultimately be held au-
thority On this subject. 1t is common
to confound trichinOsis with the plague,
and to assign trichin@ as cause of so
called cholera. There is not the slight
est connection between the two affec-
tions. The plague is caused by rapid
development of microcoxs in the capil-
laries and veins, inducing Inflammation
and fever, but these forms of life are in
finitesmal compared with the trichine.
The doctor can cure sick pig, but no
one can make it afterward thrifty and
valuable animal. He regards stamping
out by concerted destruction of diseased
cases and isolation of healthy herds as
the only cffectual remedy and protec-
ton from loss. 1t is an important point,
however, to know the truth about this
formidable scourge of the farmer. The
truth. according to science, can be
learned In DIR. Detmer's report, and, for
the West. it is the most valuable Con-
gressional document, that can be dis
tributed. iit-

Cleansing DairV Stables,

This is q work every dairyman in this
latitude, who does anything like justice
to his herd, has daily to perform. The
manner in which he does it modifies the
results of his business. If done in a
slovenly, sip-shod sort of way, his herd
may go along all winter without becom-
ing fatally sick. or losing all their
strength, and stupid herdsman never
notice that there is anything wrong
about them. But an observing dairy
man will readily discern the difference
betwee nkeeping COWS in foul or an odor-
less stable. Intelligent horsemen ap-
preciate the difference, and take great
pains in keeping their stables clean and
free from offensive odors, and they find
that it pays in the increased health and
vigor Of their horses, and in the cost of
their keeping-food being always better
digestcd and appropriated by healthy
than by sickly animals. Cows are as
much affected by having their stables
clean or foul as horses though they are
less dcmonstrative in manifesting it.
Breathing the stencil from the stable
affects them all over, and sickens and
weakens them. When an OK is taken
from filthy stall in which he has been
confined to fatten, and slaughtered at
once upon his removal from it, every
pound of his flesh and fat will be fla
vored by the stall aud betray something
of its odor. When an animals flesh and
whole body are thus saturated with nox-
ious effiuvia, what else could be expect
ed than general debility and a loss of
flesh, as well as loss of vigor. and at
least tendency to disease, if it is not
positively produced?-National Lire-
Stock Journal Chicago.

American Women "a Takers.

There is no doubt that American wo-
men talk fuently and well. But having
admitted that, the rambling writer may
be allowed to say that he thinks English
women use a simpler and prrer Saxon
English than flows from the lips of
American ladies. In England now it is
assuredly a mark and proof of culture
to adopt this simplicity of style; in this
country it seems as if people, especially
women, tried hard to cultivate fine
emphatic jargon. For example. here it
appears to be thought rude and coarse
sort of thing to speak of man of educa-
ton and position as n woman; you must
speak of her always as '.lady." Mrs.
Brown is a charming lady; Miss Black
is beautiful lady, and so on. In Eng
land this phraseology is usually releg-
ated to the lady's maid and the footman.
Educated and well-bred English people
will always say: Mrs. Brown is a charm
ing woman. One had rather hear an
English woman break into little word
of slang, than hear her spoil our pure
and noble Saxon speech, so sweet and

The Bantam and Her Goslings.

A bantam is a very dignified fowl.
Sometimes he carries his dignity to such
an excess that he becomes amusingly
consequential. But proper self-re-
spect is at the bottom of his proud ways,
and he is only illustrating his own
thought am just as good as any other
fowl in the yard.
A bantam, belonging to . farmers
daughter, had the freedom of the house.
One day, the little thing said as plainly
as she could, ..It's high time was rais-
ing family" The farmer. being awag,
took large bowl, and half-flling it
with rags. put therein two goose eggs.
each as big as q cup. Setting this queer
nest upon shelf in a room, he invited
Mrs. Bantam to begin her maternal
work. ,s..- fs
She gladly responded, and spreading
out her wings SO as to cover the eggs,
sat and sat until the goslings appeared.
Then it was fun to tho wag of . farmer
to watch the little bantam tending her
large babies. Neither their waddle, or
broad bills, or enormous appetites pre-
vented the indulgence of her maternal
pride. ..-''' ~ ''i.'- i'sii i9.s.s :. I
When they were tired she coddled
them. If anything frightened the darl-
ings, they rushed to the little. mother
and poking their heads under her wings,
actually lifting her from the ground.
Even after they had grown up they
would follow her and quietly submit to
punishment from her sharp bill, If they
did anything wrong. -.
Little as the bantam was, she showed
much determination and faithfulness in
the discharge of her maternal duties.
What she had to do, she didwith all her
might, and never sulked or cried over
it, as too hard or unpleasant.
