Professor Wiley says that one gallon of
mOlasses, weighing IL pounds, will give
,. 75pOunds of absolute alcohol, 1903 pounds
of 80 per cent. alcohol, and 90 pounds of
whisky or rum. Thus each gallon of mo-
lasses will produce nearly half a gallon
of commercial alcohol and twO-thirds of a
gallon Of whisky or rum.

Keep Up Fertility of Soil.

The success Of one farmer over another
lies in the surplus he is able to grow, over
the necessary expenses of the farm and
family. Two farmers living side by side,
owning the same number of acres and
having the same number in the family to
support, may differ widely as to the net
profits obtained as the result Of year S
work. And if SO, there Is some good rea-
son for it. One man returns to the soil
only part Of what he takes from it; he
sells his straw and his hay, save what
little he needs to feed, and year after year
draws upon the soil as if it were mex
haustible. What is more natural that il
should deteriOrate?
Another takes care to allow no waste OF
farm manures; gives his stock plenty OF
good straw bedding; does not throw the
stable cleanings out into the yard to have
its fertiliZing properties washed out by
the rains or dried out by the sun. All re-
fuse, caTcasses of animals that may have
died, leaves gathered from the woods and
muck from the swamps-these and every
other available fertilizer are cOmposted
and at the proper time hauled out upon
the land.
And he does more than this. He buys
manure by the wagOn-lOad, If he can OBJ.
tain it, and calculates his money well in
vested. He experiments, if necessary
just what and how much his soil requires
or, indirectly, he converts portion Of the
grain he grows into fertilizers by feeding
it to stock, thereby benefting them and
his soil likewise. In short, he believes in
feeding his soil as much as in feeding his
cattle, knowing that neither can be eX
pected to produce the best results without
something to furnish material for produc-
ton.
But in connection with proper fertiliza
ton of the soil, there must be proper cul
tiyation. When the grain is put in, lei

An Oyster Party.


Wilson's wife had given him a commits
sion to execute, and, although he was not
the purchasing member of the firm, she
| thought she could trust him to get her
some oysters for Sunday dinner.

pints OF oysters tor quart and half, he
remarked that the new superintendent
was down on all these cheatin' hucksters,
and so marched the German off to the

phantly and told his wife about the man
who had tried to sell oysters two pints to

The Pulse of Animals.

In horses the pulse at rest beats forty
times, in an OK from fifty to fifty-fve, and
in sheep and pigs about seventy to ei-hty
beats a minute. 1t may be felt wherever
large artery crosses a bone, for instance.
1t is generally examined says the ,ScjeR-
tifc An1erjcdR), in the horse on the cord
which crosses over the bone of the lower
jaw in front Of its curved position, or in
the bOny ridge above the eye; and in the
cattle over the middle of the first rib, and
in sheep by placing the hand on the left
side, where the beating of the heart may
be telt. Any material variation of the
pulse from the figures given above may
be considered a sign Of disease. If rapid,
hard and full, it is an indication Of high
fever or Inflammation; if rapid, small and
weak, low fever, loss of blood and weak
ness. If slow, the probabilities point to
brain disease, and if irregular, to heart
troubles. This is one of the principal and
sure tests of the health of an animal

Tobacco Fertilizers.

Superphosphate, says a tobacco grower,
is very quick in its effects, and it has al
ways been remarked that spoonful of it
in the hill would ripen the tobacco plant
a week or more sooner than when we'll
rOtted manure was alone used. 1t has
also been the experience Of our growers,
that superphosphate gives fine, thin leaf.
This quick ripening is now thought OBJ
jectionable by many, since if the plant
remains Of dark green, exhibiting a
healthy growing appearance for long
time, the leaf will be heavier and of a
darker color. This is effected, as is claimed,
by the use OF castor pOmace and cotton
seed meal. Perhaps this theory needs
longer testing before it becomes a fixed
principle, yet this is the common view of
growers. EOridd DiSndtch.

The Kind of Soil for Fowls.

The poor st and lightest sandy soil is
better for fowls than any other. The rains
carry downward all the impurities, and
such soil is always hard and free from
mud, becoming dry in a short time. Dis
eases are not as frequent on light soils,
especially rOup; gapes in the young chicks
seldom occurs. This enables those pos
sessing poor sandy soils, to utilize those
for poultry raising, and in a short time
the land may be fitted for growing crops.
Trees are benefited by poultry, not only
from the drOppings left on the ground, but
also through the destruction of insects.
Poultry and fruit should be the object,
and there are many locations that could
be made serviceable in that respect

Rice and Potatoes.

An eminent German chemist and phys
iOlogist has lately made some careful eX-
periments to determine the comparative
value Of rice and potatoes as food for the
development of mental and physical en-
ergies, According to his conclusions,
which have been reached after much
chemical analysis and research, rice is a
long way ahead, as 100 pounds of rice
contain as much actual nutriment as 337
parts of the best sorts of potatoes, and
with the average product, the difference
is even greater-100 pounds Of rice equal
421 pounds of potatoes.

Bile, but incomprehensible to the 'sMar-
thas" of more forebOding class. Life
seemed not to this invalid woman a di-
vine gift to be forwarded toward some
noble goal with earDest effort and fixed
purpose. 1t seemed, at best, a question
able and Ofttimes a wearying endOw-
ment which she was not 10th to resign at
any time when its exigencies seemed I'M
DeaFable. Still she was not compounded
OF the stun Of which suicides are made.
A man desperately in love with life, and
in terrible awe of death, may, under a sud
den disappointment. and in a fit of tenn
pOrary mental arrangement, by some
quick method take his own life, but such
an act is only done on impulse; one re-
straIning word, one warning suggestion,
might easily stay his hand, and fill his
soul with intense horror Of his own crimi-
nal purpose.
..when all the Establishments Of life are gone,
The coward sneaks to death, the brave live
on"
But this woman, too lnfrm of health al
most to endure the ordinary tax of living
and moving, still had within her slender
body a great and strong soul, which held
itself ready, as it were, for any possible
demand that should be made upon it. If
pestilence were ravaging a city near her,
and some authoritative voice babe her 90
and nurse the sick and bury the dead,
she could take up this cross as lightly as
any one of those whose heroism that way
has made them famous. Or if danger
of any sort threatened, not
those she loved, for, unfortunately
for her, she hardly loved any
body, but those she knew familiarity, she
was equally capable Of barring her breast
! to a possible bullet. She was not c0nsci-
! Gus of being either brave or morally
/ strong She called herself reckless, and
/ considered her own fearless outlook at
! possibilities only the result of her eX-
/ remely isolated, irresponsible and friend
/ Tess condition. Nature had been good to
/ this woman. She had given her intellec-
ual power and a kind of moral strength /;
/ but these had been rendered Intellectual
/ for her salvation, because the will power
/ had been wanting; her heart had been too
! gently kind, and circumstance had been
| her open enemy. How is life like this,
/ all unsheltered and Yctimized by the
/ selfishness Of this world, to be classed {?

DYsENTERY IN CALVES.

Henry Stewart, in Country Gentleman,
speaking of dysentery in calves. says: cit
is caused by Indigestion, and is the seri-
Gus result of neglected diarrhea. The
diarrh9a may be cured without medicine
by simply giving warm new milk in pint
doses and avoiding all other food for sew
eral days. If any medicine is required
there is nothing better than teaspOonful
doses Of castor oil, and if the young crea-
ture suffers from cramps ten drops of
laudanum and the same of rhubarb may
be added to the oil. Astringents as rule
are worse than useless in diarrh@a, and
especially in dysentery; instead of these
some moderate stimulants, anti-spasmod-
les and gentle purgatives are required TO
clear out the bowels, allay excitement.
and soothe and tone up the inflamed mu-
cOus membranes"
