John Burroughs in The Century
Everything betokens u race still in its
youth, still on the road to empire. The full
bloodedness, the large feet and hands, the
prominent canine teeth, the stomachic and
muscular robustness, the health of the
women, the savage jealousy of personal
rights, the swurms upon swarms of children
and young people, the delight in the open
air and in athletic sports, the love of
danger and adventure, a certain morning
freshness and youthfulnesI in their look, ns il
their food and sleep nourished them well, as
we'll as a certain animallty and stupidity
all Indicate u people who have not yet slack

ness of a new country. You would think the
people had just come into possession Of a
virgin soil. There is a pioneer hardness and
fertility about them. Families increase as In

Who Paid for the Drinks ?

The principle is generally regarded
as a sound one that whenever any ar
ticle Of commercial value is cOnsum-
ed, even if it be an inferior article of
whiskey, somebody must bear the
expense of the transaction. Thus the
question becomes an interesting one.
who paid for the liquor in the follow
ing case: At Ell Paso, Texas, the
Mexican dollar is worth eighty-five
cents in American coin. A Paso del
Norte, just across the river, Ameri-
can dollars are worth eighty-five
cents in Mexican coin. One morning
a cart driver started from the Ameri-
can side with a Mexican dollar. On
his arrival at the Mexican town he
took a drink of chain lightning,
which was fifteen cents, and received
an American dollar in change for his
Mexican. On his return to the
American side he took a drink of

expenditure of commercial fertili-
Zers to make good this loss.
HOW TO SAVE THE LIQUID MANURE.
The practical point is to determine in
what way this liquid excrement can
be saved. If farmer has no barn
cellar, can he save this liquid? 1t is
not so difficult a matter to save the
liquid eXcrement as some seem to
suppose. Some dry absorbent placed
behind the cattle once or twice a day,
in sufficient quantity to absorb the
liquid is all that is required. Dry
muck is excellent for this purpose,
but almost any dry substance may be
used. Dry loan, dry earth, road
dust, sawdust, or other similar sub
stance may be used. 1t is not diff
cult, nor expensive, to provide sup
ply of some one of those mentioned,
sufficient to last through the winter.
Even those who have barn cellars
should provide absOrbents to mix
with their manure, so that none of
the liquid be allowed to drain away
and be lost.
When absorbents are used, even if
the manure has to be thrown out
doors, and be exposed to the weather,
it will not suffer SO great loss as
where none are nsed, as the absor-
bents used help to hold the strength
of the manure, and the mass does not
yield its strength so readily to the
rains. But if exposed to the wealth
er, considerable injury will be infict-
ed upon the mass even when absor-
bents are used, and it is always very
desirable, and well nigh indispensa-
bic, to have the manure protected
from the rains. If it must be thrown
out doors, a shed roof should be
placed over it. If a yard can be
made around it, and hogs turned up
on it, so much the better. They will
work it over, mixing it thoroughly
and pulverize it, bringing it into a
favorable condition to use on the
land. Where manure is thrown into
barn cellars, it is also very beneficial
to allow the hogs to run upon it. Let
us consider for a moment, what hap
pens if no absorbents are used, and
the manure is thrown out doors to be
exposed to the weather. One-half Of
its value is lost in the liquid which is
allowed to be wasted. Thr solid por.
ton exposed to the weather will lose
half of its value, so that only one
fourth of the whole value of the barn
manWes will remain to be applied to
the soil. Is it strange that some
farms become ''run out?"

Effects of the Wheat Decline.
Falls, Me.

The drop in the price of wheat,
which in the past four months, has
amounted to about thirty per cent. is
beginning, says the Philadelphia
Times, to manifest its effects in the
increased number of business failures
in the West and Northwest. The
suspensions during the past week
were 1875 in number, against 143 for
the previous week and 1913, Ill and
50 for the corresponding weeks of
1888, 1882 and 1881. In this list are
including six banking companies,
whose officers were INDUCING, in a
greater or less degree, in the danger
Gus practice of specializing in options.
While it is true that other causes
beside the shrinkage in the price of
wheat have operated to a limited ex-
tent in producing this long list of fail
ures, it is evident that the most of
them must be attributed to this cause.
A shrinkage of forty cents bushel
in this great staple since last Deem
Der is sufficient in itself to account for
great loss in values in those localities
where wheat is the chief source of
wealth.
The farmers may as well prepare
for low prices during the comingyear
unless some unforeseen disaster befalls
the coming crop. The foreign mar
kets appear to be well supplied. The
surplus on hand is large and the new
crop promises to be good. This need
not be portentious of disaster to the
business interests of the country, if
both farmers and traders look the
facts squarly in the face and prepare
in time to cut the business garment
according to the cloth. The trouble
in such cases usually arises from an
ticipating too much and mortgaging
the future on the strength of such an
ticipations.

must be more or less injurious, even
if the latter do not rob the former of
any needed nutriment. On very fer
tile, new soils, with short-stalked
varieties of corn, in localities where
frost is not to be feared, it mayb al
lowable to plant pumpkin seed at the
second hoeing, in every third or
fourth hill, in each second or third
row. With favorable weather, the
corn will produce about the usual
yield, and after the early gathering
of the corn, the growing pumpkins
thus exposed to full sunlight, will
ripen up those pretty well developed.
AS a rule, let the pumpkins have the
whole ground but still better are the
harder feshed squashes, which will
probably supply more nutriment than
field pumpkins, whether for man or
beast.-American Agricultural.

Choosing a Farm.

The Massachusetts, Ploughman says
young man about to purchase a
farm has three things!to consider and
make up his mind upon before he de-
cides upon a location. First, what
line of farming he will pursue !;
second, what location will be most
agreeable to himself and family;
third, what disposition he will make
of his crops. If his money crop is to
come from theYproduct: of cattle, he
needs a farm that will produce grass;
if small fruit, strong land, well I'M
derdrained, and nearness to market
for his line of business should be con-
sidered. AS differentskinds of farm
ing require different soils, a decision
as to the line followed is naturally
no mean factor in the choice, and the
after success.

New Cures.

Demorest's Monthly.
There are fashions in medicines and
curative agents as well as in dress.
The virtues of hot water taken in the
early mornings, and at meals, is now
urged by many health reformers.
Raw meat is extensively used in con-
sumption and other chronic diseases.
The latest fashion in Paris is the
quafiing of hot blood by weakly and
anemic young girls and women.
They drive daily to the slaughter
house to have cup of it, just as they
would visit spring at a watering
place. Some of them take a bath of
hot blood once or twice a week.
Certain fast young men in New York
go to restaurants, where they can
procure a rare tenderloin steak broil-
ed and served without gravy or any
vegetable. AT some place machines
are in vogue for. squeezing,".out the
blood, which can be served with the
steak. The hot-water cure, by the
way, is as old as Gil Bias, for. the
treatment of DIR. Sangrado was hot
water and blood-letting; but the
moderns drink blood, whereas the
physicians of the seventeenth centu.
ry let it out of the system.

HEARTH AND HOME.

Out of the noise and out of the strife,
To the hearth so calm and bright,
The men come home to women who wait
In the freside's happy light.
For hearth and home is the dearest place
To men and women who love;
And when peace is there a blessing floats
From our Fathers home above.
The tender kics, and the baby's coo,
Then gladdens the tired heart;
The care and glare of the busy day,
Like wearisome dreams depart.
The souls Joy shines in the loving smile
That welcomes the dear one home:
Wife's world is in its sheltering walls,
In cot or meath palace dome.
Oh, God of love, guard ever such homes,
All over our beautiful land
Let quiet hearths lifes guidance be
To mansions not made with hands.

To men and women who love;
And when peace is there q blessing floats
From our Fathers home above.

Growing Pumpkins with Corn.

Pumpkins are valuable for stock in
autumn and early winter, or as long
as they can be conveniently kept,
though the amount of nutriment, in
proportion to bulk to be taken, care
of, and their liability to decay, have
led most farmers to discard them,
and adopt roots or squashes for sue
culentfood. AS rule, every crop
needs all the ground it occupies, and
all the air and sunlight available,
Corn is "sun plant" and to shade
the soil and the lower stalks with
