FARMERS COLUMN.
Agricultural Notes.

Michigan is puzzled because immi-
grants pass il by for the Far West when
so much good land in oldsseetions is still
unoccupied, and for sale at low figures.
ONLY about 7 .000, 600 of 81 900, 900 acres
of land in the state are improved
An excellent remedy for cholera in
hens-the cocks never have it's to give
each sick bird one tesspoonful OF satura
ted solution of hyposulphite of soda and
put il in coop on the g ouDd on loose
soil or ashes, The salt causes active
purging, which removes the poisonous
germs from the system. A young chick
should have about five dro ofthe same
solution. A saturated solution is one in
which no more of the substance will
dissolve and some remains at the. bottom.
Tomatoes, not many generations ago,
were considered poisonous. Last fall
there were 40 ,322 ,052 cans of tomatoes
put up by the canning establishments OF
the United States.
The largest sheep rancho in the world
is the one in Dimmit and Weber coun-
ties, Texas, where 100000 sheep are pas
tured on 800, 600 acres of land.
Mr.. Meehan remarks that the Mich
igan farmer presents the following ex-
cellent bit of common sense in regard to
the common newspaper cry of, "Spare
the Forests" "Of what use is forest
if you do not utilize it? 1t produces
nothing, and prevents anything else
from being produced. Cut it down and
turn it into cash, and in its place grow
crops that will feed the people and en-
rich the grower. If timber is wanted,
grow it as you would any other crop,
you would a crop of wheat. Let us look
at this question in practical way,
and do away with such sickly sentiment
tality?"

To DRY sweet Corn.

Having tried putting down sweet corn
with salt, and would say TO all, do not do
it, for when YOU have washed or cooked
it enough to get the salt out there is no
goodness in it. think there is no bet
ter way than to take it when just right
for eating, first thing in the morning, cut
from the cob with sharp knife, then
scrape the cob, being careful not to cut
into it at all. or it will spoil the corn by
making it taste hard and unpleasant, put
on tins and plates in pretty hot oven,
stirring often at first, and as it dries hav-
ing less fire. ~ night mine is almost
dry enough, and by the next day can be
put in bags and hung up for winter use.
In winter take what is needed for use,
wash in two or three waters, put to soak
in clean, and when soft enough, cook tif-
teen minutes in same water, put In
cream or milk, and season. 1t needs to
soak four or hve nours.o or in cold wealth
er can soak all nirht.

Feed For MILK.

The following are the conclusions
reached at the Iowa Agricultural col.
lege. The supply of milk depends es-
sentially upon the rapid growth of new
cells in the milk glands. These cells
consist largely of proteine. The caseine
and fat Cheese aud butter elementsl are
formed from the proteine; hence profit.
able dairying must depend largely upon
the amount of proteine contained in the
food and made on cheap food. Where
rations rich in proteine are fed, such as
clover and oil meal, the following re-
suits may be noticed:
/. A decided increase in the quantity
of the milk and very little shginkage for
a long time.
2. Considerable gain in the solid mat
ter of the milk, as shown by chemical
tests, or by the increased butter and
cheese production.
8. A gain in the quantity of the
milk where folders rich in carbon n.y.
drates and fats are given. The slight in
crease in quantity and richness of the
milk is not due to any direct action
these have, but the assistance they af-
ford The proteine in preventing
its exoidation. Animals fed
mainly on sugar beets,
potatoes or corn will give considerable
milk but it is done at the expense of
the proteine of the body, and after a
while the animal will suddenly waste
away.
In view of these well-es' abrished facts,
what shall be the economical milk ration
for farmers?
Calculated upon the basis ofthe amount
of proteine contained in each, and
taking corn as the unit of value, when
corn is worth fifty cents per hundred
pounds, the following articles will.
approximately be worth per hum

Spiced plums are delicious. To eight
pounds of plums allow four of sugar, one
teaspoon each cinnamon and cloves, one
small cup of vinegar. Cook until they
are thick as jelly.
Homes can be furnished so tastefully
and economically nowadays, and there
are so many ways of making really ele-
CANT little affairs for adjoining a room,
that there is positively no excuse for
their non-appearance, except a distaste
for such work which it seems to me is
an element foreign to woman's nature
Polished floors should be rubbed two
or three times with linseed oil, and
then polished every week with turpen-
tine and beeswax. The oftener the oil
is rubbed in to begin with, the darker
the boards will be.
Lace spreads and pillow covers when
washed may be dipped in very weak
cold coffee in place of bluing, and they
will thereby receive a beautiful ecrv
shade which is so popular just now.
Curtains may be treated in the same
way.
Oil cloth may be improved in appear

Baby Bellies.

Even the young children at Saratogt
are drawn into the whirlpool of dissipa-
ton, and dance and dress and fiirt to an
extent that promises badly for their own
future and for that of their parents and
country. Children's hops, children's
Germans, children's fancy balls and gar
den parties are regular feature of the
seasons both at Saratoga and Long
Branch, and Newport is now the only
watering place from whence details oil
children's gayeties and designations do
not come The folly and wickedness OF
these unnatural displays are abundantly
evident ia the whole after career and
development of these unfortunate little
ones. At 10 years of age the little girl
of the dav is an incipient coquette, at IA
she is finished woman of the world,
and, as some one has aptly remarked,
knows as much as her mother and en-
lows ner knowledge great deal more.
And this false and hurtful training doei
not belong to Newport or New York OF
to anv other city or section of our coun-
try, but is most largely to be noticed at
cosmopolitan assemblages like Saratoga,
where East, West, North and South are
all represented. What the result will
eventually be Is a grave and serious
question. At present it might draw
tears from the hardest wording to see
wholesale destruction of natures most
beautiful work which is going on.-New

A Strange Summer Guest.

Cobbler and Gentleman.
There will probably come a quiet
well-mannered gentleman to Saratoga,
this year who has spent few weeks
there every season for ten years past.
He is a modest, unassuming visitor, who
is welcomed every year by the same
circle of guests, enjoys himself as the
rest do, and departs to his business.
The other eleven months of the year he
sits on bench and makes ladies fine
boots. He has two lives, in fact. His
comrades in his working days think they
know all about him. They see him re-
appear every season. He Is always the
same. a little old-fashioned but pollshed
in manners, and very intelligent IN
mind. He never presumes. lie Is
charming escort; is attentive to all the
! ladies' in wav that compromises neither
them nor himself But for eleven months
| in the wear he works upon such dainty
boots as encase their feet. Such as his
| life is. il came about naturally. and he
will never seek to alter it. his father
was village shoemaker before
| him quiet man OF many
| thouphts-one of the old type of phil IS
nhers who were Indifferent to the world
and asked only food and clothes and
leisure for eontemp lation. The son was
! like the father, except that he took to
roadiup and developed fine lntellectu-
| al interest in the affairs of the world
| He wished to see society, but to have a
Mace in it himself was no ambition OF
| his. though from quick perception he
was able to take on the manners of a
gentleman.
At Saratoga, by Incorporating to need
anv one he could be accepted in more
than one circle, and came to know per
sopally all the most important men who
move our national interests in commerce,
politics, and railway communications.
| He a ked no favors, made no claims,
borrowed no mans money, made, love
10 no woman's daughter. He made no
| mystery Of himself and attracted no re-
mark. Once he was asked if he was IN
business. and he calmly replied that he
was in the boot and shoe trade IN not
At home he works at the bench with
skinfnl hands and with thoughts upon
his hooks or the people he knows, or the
larger interest of humanity. He earns
as much as any man can at that trade
and he spends nothing in super hultles

To Prevent Cows From Sucking
Themselves.

Seeing SO many men asking for means
to prevent cows from sucking them
selves, here give my experience in the
difficulty; l had two good Jersey COWS
which had that bad habit, and | tried
everything l could hear of to keep them
from sucking themselves; but they would
fall away in flesh. At last tried milk
ing them and then thoroughly greasins
the teats with good beef-talow warmed
in the evening; next morning | cleaned
the teats with doth and MIXED then
and then again applied the warm tallow
After three applications one of the COWS
never did the trick again; it took about
a week to break the other of the habit
That was three years ago, and have
had no trouble with them.

A Rare-Eooted Groom.

There is a sheep farmer in West Vir-
ginia whose career illustrates the result Of
shrewdness, perseverance and freedom
from debt. His story is told by Vir-
ginia editor, who says that about twenty
years ago young fellow named John
son, in the wilds of Cheat Mountains in
West Virginia, made up his mind to be
married.
"But you have not penny" remon-
strated his friends.
81 have my hands. A man was given
one to scratch for himself, the other
for his wife," he said
On the day of the wedding Johnson
appeared in a whole coat and trousers
but bare-footed.
This is hardly decent" said the
clergyman. 81 win lend you pair of
shoes"
NO" said Johnson; "when can buy
sheos, | will wear them-not before"
And he stood up to be married with
out a thought of his feet. The same
sturdy conduct showed itself in his flu
ture course. What he had not money
to pay for he did without.
He hired himself to q farmer for q
years work With the money he saved
he bought couple of acres of timber
land and pair of sheep, built himself 6
hut and went to work on his ground.
His sheep increased. As time flew BY
he bought more; then he sold off the
cheaper kinds and invested in South
down and French Merino.
His neighbors tried by turns raising
cattle; horses, or gave their attention to
governmental farming
johnson having once found that sheep
raising IN his district brought hand
some profit, stuck to it.
He had that shrewdness in seeing the
best way, and that logged persistence
in following it which are the surest ele
ments of success.
Stock-buyers from the eastern mar
kets found that Johnson's f1eeces were
the finest and his mutton the sweetes
on the Cheat.
He never allowed his reputation t
fail-the end of which course is, the
man who married bare-footed is nov
worth large property.

THE ABBE's TROUBLES.
A Lady Proclaims Her Love For
Him Publicly.

For the past three years the Able
H snri, vicar of st. Vincent de Paul, Par
is, has been prosecuted, and, as his re-
llgious garb can in no way protect him,
he has been compelled to cause his per-
secutors TO be arraigDed in the "tribun-
al correctional of Paris" and the fol-
lowing facts have come to light, which
proves to what extent feminine romance
sometimes goes in France. 1t appears

Born of respectable trades people, Mile.
Gastineau is not of the common order,
and, with the exception of this affair,
she has borne an irreproachable
character. About three years ago
the poor girl became
