Excessive Eating.

from the New York Post.]
DR.. W. B. Richardson, in recent
lecture, denied that excessive eating was
as injurious and dangerous as excessive
drinking. In the course of thirty -four
years. professional experience he had
only known one case in which patient
died from Incorporate eating, and this
was coupled with immoderate drinking,
but, on the other hand, he had known
800 persons to die from excessive drink
ing, all of whom passed to death through
the door of immoderation. When anyone
arrived at the conclusion that alcohol
was a necessity he was in the first stage
of alcoholic disease. The sense of the
necessity was the first symptoms of the
disease, the declaration of the necessity
was the declaration of the disease.
Alcohol was in no sense food, nor was it
true that those who did not drink were
obliged to consume more food. He was
himself a living falsehood of this con-
tention.

Chufas for Swino.

In the Southern States attention is
given to the production of stock foods
comparatively unknown in the great
corn belt. A Georgia correspondent of
Home and Farm says: "There is no
man who tries to raise his meat here in
the South who feels more certain of
plenty of nice pork than one who has q
goodly number of hogs and has planted
two or three acres in chufas." Another
Georgia man says: "On land that will
not bring five bushels of corn per acre
chufas will make from twenty-five to
100 bushels, bushel of chufas being
equal to q bushel of corn to fatten.
They will grow on land where nothing
else will grow, make more per acre, and
with less work than anything else we
can plant or grow on a farm. On land
that most of us consider worn out and
thrown away chufas will bring enough
to fatten all our hogs with the simple
cost of cultivating as we would cotton,
blowing two or three times. Hogs will
never eat anything else as long as
chufa can be found"

How Honeycomb ts Filled.

DR.. G. Spencer has been prying into
the business secrets of the bee, and thus
tells of what he has learned: ain my
observatory hive one cell was built
against the glass, and that afforded an
excellent opportunity of seeing how
bees deposit honey in the cell. First, a
bee deposited thin coating of honey
upon the base of the cell, making
sort Of varnish, as it were, to the base of
the cell. The next bee that came with
honey raised up the lower edge of this
film of honey and forced its honey be.
meath; the next bee did the same, and
this film acted as kind of diaphragm,
keeping honey in the the cell. When
the cell is full enough to be sealed the
bees commence contracting the opening
With wax until there is only a small
hole left in the center, when they ap-
pear to take enc little fake of wax and
pat it down over the opening. At any
time during the process of filing the
cell the honey could be withdrawn with
a hypodermic syringe, and the @dia-
phragm" left hanging in the cell.

Forthcoming q Prince.

Ten thousand pounds per annum is
what they propose asking from the Brit
ish taxpayer for the purpose Of setting
up the Prince Of Wales eldest son in
business as Royal Duke. It is not a
bad income for young man scarcely
out of mis- teens, and although John
Bull may grumble q bit-as is his wont
when called upon to put his hand into
his breaches pocket there is no doubt
he will ultimately agree to part with
the necessary sum. Besides 100000
year, it is said the young prince, whom,
his grandmother intends to make Duke
of Kent, will have Marlborough House
as residence, while his father and
mother will ,emigrate to Buckingham
Palace, q very desirable change for
them and for the public.
All the young fellow will need after
this is penniless German wife, and
then he will be settled for life in the
orthodox Guelph fashion. He stands,
of course, in direct line to the throne,
but many people of radical and eco
nonomical turn of mind are beginning to
grumble at the country having to sup
port three generations Of Guelphs all at
once, with, the not impossible contin-
gency of having to maintain fourth

coil, Tor young Albert Victor may have
twenty.one year old son before his
grandmother dies. But many things

Curing Cider.

Since the Prohibition ticket has
come to grief and cider is likely to be
abundant and cheap, the following from
the Rural World will be of interest: .If
you want fine cider do not sulphur

phurized, leave the must full of sui
phur, and the sulphuring of casks
leaves sulphurous acid, which is detri-

Blackleg,

Some mortality from blackleg is re-
ported at ranches lying near the Boulder
Road, about seven miles from Denver,
and several cases of the disease: still ex-
list. We understand, too, the ranchmen
fear that it is contagious, and
in consequence are greatly alarmed.
As the Farmer stated several
weeks since, it is absolutely i'm
possible for one animal to COM
municate this trouble to another. The
very cause itself, of the disease proves
this, for it attacks cattle that, though
getting too fat, have become sluggish, pro
duoinginactivity of circulation and when
their condition is changed blackleg dis
appears, to again appear, perhaps, If an
animal is allowed to again become so
that it's system is as stated. Several
remedies are offered such as bleeding at
the neck, in the following manner :
Tie to a post or other object securely,
draw rope or strap with a slip-knot
very tightly around the neck and bleed
the animal in the jugular vein. At first
the blood will bevery dark but it should
be allowed to flow until it becomes its
natural color or nearly so. Contagious
ness exists only in theory, not reality,
and all statements to the contrary are
fatty contradioted by that most potent
oflreasons, fact Colorado Farmer.

surface with bricks or stone, laid in
cement. or well plastered outside with
lime mortar. SO that the ground slopes
in ell directions, and prevents any pools
OF sur ace water from remaining within
twenty feet,of the well.
1t is q common but mistaken belief
that we'll should be open to the air for
ventilation. The reason given is that
carbonic acid or foul air will gather in
the we'll. No doubt at times this gas
gathers in wells, but in every case it is
wells that are open to the air and are
touled with decomposing organic matter.
The purest water comes from drive
wells and artesian wells, to which the
outer air cannot gain access. Carbonic
acid gas. too, is only dangerous when
breathed. Its presence. in water i'm
proves it, and person who drinks one
glass OF soda water, or seidlitz powder,
takes more carbonic acid gas than could
be taken in ten barrels Of any well
water.
A well should therefore be tightly
closed in at the top, and closely curbed
to the bottom, and every possible en-
trance should be closed against worms
and other living creatures.
A we'll cannot be safe from under
ground drainage, unless it is dug down
below bed of clay which slopes or in
clnes from the well toward any barn
yard, cesspool or other source of pollu-
tion, irrespective of distance; for when
drainage flow occurs through the soil
it is only question of time when it will
reach the well, although it may be 100,
200 or more feet from the source of i'm
purities, if the slope of the subsoil,
gravel hardpan or clay, is from the
source of the drainage to the we'll. In
porous, sandy soil or gravel, the deeper
the we'll, the sooner it will become foul.
ed by any drainage.
A cesspool or barnyard should always
be located on lower ground than the
house and the well or any spring from
which the water is drawn. If this is moi
possible, the cesspool should be made
with an impervious bottom of cement
saturated with gas tar or melted asphalt
and q Grain made of glazed pipes, &C.

with fine dwellings. To-day this territory
is a mass of smouldering ruins. One
hundred and sixty dwellings we're
burned. besides manufacturing lnstltu-
tons and the Episcopal, Presbyterian,
Baptists, and Disciples churches, the
Town Hall. Academy, and all other
school buildings. The fire spread so
rapidly that very little household goods
could besayed. The fire departments OF
Watertown, Loville, Boonvllle anu
Utica responded to the call for help, put
as the fire would appear IN dozen oil
ferent places at the same time, streams
from the engines were OF little AVIAN.
The wards were filed with dry leaves,
WHICH, 1SIlll6Q ny nS ms NAAANNA~' -
famed by a stiff breeze, were soon IN a
blaze. There were a hundred dwelling
houses on fire at the same time. People
worked hard several hours to save prop,

all last night hundreds OF them were
roaming the streets or lying in spots
where the fire had not touched,
every place of shelter in the
village being thus filled with
women and children. a large number
of people were brought to this city
where they had friends to care for them.
1t is impossible to correctly picture the
scenes yesterday afternoon and last
night; strong men weeping, women ana
children crying as they realized every
thing they possessed was being swept
away. People thrown out OF employ
ment with everything they had de-
stroyed, will have to suffer unless as
sistance is rendered. There was no one
burned to death, but score OF people
were badly burned, including tiremen.
The loss will foot up over $500, 900. The
insurance cannot now be given, but
agents say it will not reach one-third OF
that amount.
