Being familiar with the stimulating heal
ing and anodyne properties of ALLCoCK's
Porous PLAsTERs, commend them as a
most valuable agent in the class of diseases
for which they are intended. The stimu-
lating action when worn over the gastric
region, materially aids in restoring
strength and energy to digestion and the
consequent building up of tissue and re.
storing tone to the general system.

Writes Letters in Her Sleep.

The residents of little village not far distant
from this city are greatly excited over the
strange actions of young lady, who is at pres
ent stopping at the residence Of her uncle, says
the Montreal Star. 1t appears that within the
past few months she exhibited all the symp-
toms of somnambulism. While apparently
asleep, she wnuld rise, and, with her eyes
tightly closed, could walk down stairs with per
feet safety. 1t was found that, after perform
ing these singular feats, she would return to
her bed, and, on awakening in the morning,
could never recall the circumstances to mind.
short time ago her friends, who regard her
present state with great anxiety, tried an exper-

curing pen and paper, requested her to write
q letter. She obeyel MECHANICALLY, and,

although her eyes at the same time we're closed.
singular fact was that the writing through
out was excellent, the words being written pre-
cisely along the lines. At times she conyerses

Recently, though, exhibiting the same symp-

An Eastern paper, commenting on the
low prices of cereals, extracts comfort
from the following statement: A dol
lar will buy2 to 81 pounds more of sugar
:han year ago; leather has declined 3
to cents or 10 to Is per cent; pig iron
hae declined about Is per cent; bar
iron. Is per cent; nails "a pc
cent; steel rails SO per cent; cot
ton goods to 10 per cent; though
raw cotton is higher than year ago;
common WOODEN fabrics are 10 to 80 per
cent lower, etc. The only articles Of
great commercial Importance which sell
atrelatively higher prices are certain
agricultural prod uctions, such as corn,
livestock and meat. It, therefore, re-
suits that bushel of wheat should have
1T present valuations about as great
purchasing power as year ago, though
the price is much lower. It should
purchase more sugar, iron, hardware,
and many other articles than a wear
ago, but of some other articles, such al
less."

Failure Of the Minnesota Elevator Com:

the company will lose nothing, as the wheat is

which led to the assignments of the Minnesota
Elevator company was the fact that the busl-
ness had been an uphill one all tho Season.
and the company saw that if they assigned
now they could pay all claims in full, while if
they continue another season they could not.
On Monday they allowed note Of $4,000 tc
90 to protest in milwaukee, When this became
known, c. Bechter issued an attachment, upon
which the company, to protect all parties, made
an assignment, and Judge L. r. Wilder was

Prof. Dodge, statist::>>;an of the agri-
cultural department, in a recent work
upon the industrial economy of the
United States, presents deductions from
statistics showing that half the cult
waited area of the Un,ted States lies in
one-fourth of its territory, producing
mere than three fourths of some to the
principal crops. The fact i, shown that
the Ohio valley is the most fully de-
veloped body of land, Ohio having 81
per cent. of her surface in farms, Indi-
ana 1873, Illinois 8S.4, Kentucky 81 and

that already three-tenths of the manu-

than three tenths of the area of the
country, within half century from its
settlement.

ACalifornian has lately returned from

tention to wheat raising in that country.
Hs says: Cheap labor and the won
derful fertility of the Indian soil apply
to the wheat problem. Two crops will
grow in year. Famines occur in such
a country only because the people are
SO poor, not because there is not enough
to eat. Opium is now raised in India

White Clover for Sheep.
From the Farm, Field and Fireside.

4AVAAA VIC 0AAA, 4ACAu SAO 4AOoAuC'
Sheep delight in short grass, and
Craze very close to the ground. 1t is
an old remark that sheep would starve
in the midst of fine, tall, luxuriant
pasture. 1t is fond of the short, ten
der herbage, and carefully traverses
every portion of the pasture in order to
make such selection. But few farmers
have considered the Importance of pro-
viding a special pasture for sheep.
Every farmer who keeps sheep necessa-
tily has good pasture, but every farmer
does not possess pasture suitable
for sheep. As careis given the selection
of grasses for cattle and horses, it
should also be done in the case of
sheep. There is no grass better for
that purpose than white clover, It is
harder than the red variety and grows
upon soil that can not support the 9TH
er. In many places it comes up volun.
tarily, crowding out less disirable
grasses, and is highly relished by all
classes of stock. It is richer in some
respects than the red variety, and al
though not so we'll adapted for hay crop
is an excellent grass when moved and
stored in the barn as hay. Sheep, like
cattle, perfer the richest and most
nutritious food they can procure, and
reject that, at times, which is hard and
woody in growth. White clover is not
easily destroyed, nor is it injured
greatly by the feet of animals. It is
the best grass for the sheep pasture,
but should be seeded down if it is to
be of the right kind. In connection
with white clover several other grasses
may be sown, but the clover will doubt
less supplant them, while at the same
time mixed pasture is more desirable.
Where pasture is not composed of
mixed grasses the best single grass is
the white clover, but in order to derive
the best results from it the clover
should be allowed to make good stand
before turning on the sheep.

A noted wheat dealer in Milwaukee
has recently been gathering reports
relative to the wheat crop of the United

wheat of $50, 900, 900 bushels, and to-
tai of spring wheat of $50 900 900. The
total winter and spring is $50, 900, 600
bushels. This makes the total yield OF
the country fully $4,000, 900 bushels
more than ever before produced, $780,
1000 more than last years crop, and
