New beds of raspberries should be

"A correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer seeks to discourage orchardists
from practicing top-grafting, for the
reason that cutting out nearly one-half
of the top seriously Injuries the vitality
of the tree. He thinks, however, that
in case of very young trees this method
of grating might be beneficial.
Prof. Shelton, of the Kansas State
Agricultural College, holds that the Gull
tiyation of such crops as broom corn,
hemp, fax, and, perhaps, castor beans,
which furnish but little, if any, stock
feed, will ultimately lead to serious con-
sequences in the loss of fertility sustained
by the lands SO cultivated. m s.
Here Is good way to cook canned
lobster: Spread the meat on platter
and pick out the coral; rub the coral
smooth and mix with it the grated yolks
of three hard-boiled eggs; mince the
lobster meat fine; make batter of milk
and flour and one or two eggs, beat all
the Jumps out of the flour, and add the
lobster and coral to this. You need
flour enough to make the batter stiff
enough to hold the meat in shape, so
that you can form it in round cakes and
fry. Use either salad oil or clarified
butter; the butter is less expensive, and
answers just as well.
Recently we met stockman who
said that the best cure for black-leg in
young calves was to chase them as fast
as they could run with dog. He had
never known it to fail. Backlog is
occasioned by impure blood, and ex-
citing the animal causes lively action
of the blood and a consequent expul-
sion of the impurities. A prominent
Veterinarian who heard the remark of
the stockman said he believed the cure
possible. 1t sometimes happens that
common sense beats science two to one.

If a baby catches cold and itsettles
in his head and makes his nose into a
rattle-box, or, as grandmother says.
"gives him the snufies,'' you may ease
the little sufferer and enable him to
sleep peacefully by greasing his nose
and the bit of forehead directly above
the nose. For use at this time some
animal oil is better than any that is
manufactured. When chickens are cut
up, before cooking save some of the fat,
try it out, and put the oil thus obtained
in a wide-mouthed bottle with closely
fitting cork; keep in a cool closet.
This oil is excellent for the purpose
named. ssgse

A TRIBUTE TO IN OLD SHOE.

AdieuI adieul
Ny poor old shoel
What comfort have had with you'll
My sole companion day by day,
You've cheered and soothed my weary wayl
A fond adieu,
My dear old shoel
Most faithful friend I've found in youl
Alike midst fair or wintry weather
we've shared lifes pilgrimage together.
Now rent and torn,
And sadly worn,
Of every trace of beauty shorn;
lis with an honest heartfelt sigh
feel that must throw you by.
A sad adieul
Poor WORKOUT shoel
What sorry plights you've borne me through
And OIL it tears my tender heart
To think that you and must part.
Once more, adieul
My faithful shoe!
ne'er shall find the likes o. you,
And will bless your memory
For all the good you've been to me.
No other boot
Can ever suit
As you have done my crippled footi
No other shoe can ever be
The tried, true friend you've been to me.
A last adieu,
Dear, cast-off shoel
Whatever may become Of you,
Accept dear, easiest, best of shoes,
This farewell Offering of my muse.

Copper Not Poisonous.

M. Galippe, a French savant, has I'm
dertaken to clear copper from the I'M
just imputation under which it has
labored of possessing poisonous proper
ties. He has been experimenting since
1875 upon dogs with verdigris, blue
stone, and various salts of copper, and
he has come to the conclusion that
cooper cannot cause fatal poisoning.
And on its being objected that the
emetic effects of these substances prob
ably saved the animals hves-dogs
being particularly susceptible to the
action Of emetics he courageously pro-
ceeded to try similar experiments on
himself, having all his food regularly
cooked in copper vessels coated inside
with verdigris, and he feels none the
worse for it. Furthermore, he has over
and over again found copper in the
liver and kidneys of persons who have
died from natural causes; and his analy-
ses of wheat. chocolate and other ali
mentary substances have revealed the
presence of infinitesimal quantities of
copper in their composition. These are
facts, he. says. which should not be lost
sight of in making post mortems of per-
sons whose death has been attributed
to metallic poisoning; and he believes
that ignorance of them has led to more
than one sad judicial error.

LACROSSE, Wis, Oct. 11.-Further details
of the terrific cyclone which struck the town
of Arcadia, in Trempealeau county,on Mon
day night, show that It came from the
southwest, and that upon Its approach the
air was so charged with electricity that
lights could not be made to burn, and
people rushed 10 their cellars in the dark
ness to avoid the danger. The atmos-
phere was Of a peculiar reddish green color,
with a strong sulphuric odor, and the deaf
ening roar of the tornado is utterly hides
cribable. Barns and outbuildings were
lifted from their foundations, torn to frag-
ments and scattered In all directions.
Broken boards, trees, bricks and stones
filed the air, and were hurled with such vio-
lence In some instances as to drive them
through the sides of buildings.
Among the losers are Patrick Manning
and farmer named Olsen, who lost every
thirg, including their houses, barns and
outbuildings. John Bingham lost his gran
ary, barn and contents, 100 tons OF hay,
four horses and some blooded stock. John
Robertson's house, barn and outbuildings
were destroyed. James Gaveny lost an orch
ard valued at 5000. Senator Comstocl' 8
new sorghum mill was destroyed and his
barn wrecked. There are many other losses
varying from $1,000 to $1,000 each. Mrs.
Bessy and Miss Piper,who were most In
jured, are considered out of danger. The
clone seems 10 have spent Its force up North
Greek Valley, doing considerable damage to
property, but causing no loss OF life.

gineer of a Philadelphia tug lying at that

who was on board another boat near by
