Farming Paragraphs.

Nearly level culture, hand hoein g,
slightly killing but once, and keeping
the cultivator running, was recommend
ed at the recent Waterbury, Conn,
meeting as the best for potatoes. 1t
was said that the second killing induced
n second growth of roots higher up on
the plant which produced small tubers.
If this is not done the additional growth
will make large potatoes.
If seeds are to be kept over a year
they should be placed in cool location
and exposedto the light and air. Keep
ing them in darkness weakness vitality,
perhaps from q tendency to grow which
darkness ~incites, hut unaccompained by
moisture enough to put forth leaf and
root.
Don't forget the dust bath. This is
made by mailing together four boards in
the form of o square. No bottom is
needed. Place in n sunny corner and
fill with fine dry loan or road dust, with
an extra barrel to use when needed.
There is nothing equal to a good dust
bath to keep the hens free from lice. If
they are very lousy a bushel of wood
ashes may be added to the bath.
1t is estimated that there are IL, OOO,-
900 horses in this country, and in or
der to keep up the supply 1000, 0G0
mustsbe bred annually. The importa-
ton i'll large numbers, of late, of Per-
cheron and Clydesdale horses has in
creased the average size and capacity Of
our stock of horses, and further i'm
provement will necessarily follow.
A writer in the Ohio Farmer a
that he is not an old wheat raiser, but
has not lived these last few years to no
purpose, and thinks he has struck the
keynote of success in raising wheat in u
thorough fitting Of the soil before SOW

a poor piece of land dragged, rolled and
then refitted until the grounds as mel

A Pensioned Mule,

A mule, belonging to the army has
been "pensioned" and laid aside from
service, under circumstances which are
creditable to the kind h%eartedness Of
several officers. The circumstances are
disclosed in the following narrative:
Lieut.. w. A. kobbe, of the Third Ar
tillery, who is stationed at Mount YER
non barracks, Ala, reported to the war
department that there was at hat post
q white mule named Mexique, which has
been for many years in the service Of
the United States, but which ut last h as
been ordered sold.
The officers of the post, Lieut.. Kobbe
said, desired permission to purchase the
animal and keep and care for it at their
own expense.
Maj. 4. l.. Guenther, Of the Second
Artillery, to whom the petition was re-
ferred, reported that the mule in ques-
ton was originally left at Key West bar
racks in 1S4S by a portion of the army
returning from Mexico at the close Of
the war. He added:
During the time that I served at Key
West-from 1875to 1880-the mule did
not miss q days work from any cause.
He is very old, and has been worn out
by his long service in the Quartermast-
er's department.
If there is any way Of providing for
him, / should be glad to have it done,
as the expense TO the Government would
be little OF nothing.
The petition went through the regu-
tor obor~o1a ,,p}l - ,.oool,oJ n,,orko.
master-G General Holabird, who endorsed
it as follows:
To promote the sentiment of kind
ness toward animals that are SO init
mately associated with man. it is recon-
mended in this special case that this
mule be kept in the department, and
left to the care of those whose kindly
feelings are SO deeply enlisted in its be-
half.
Gen. Sherman submitted the ease to
the Secretary of War with the following
report:
have seer the mule; and whether
true or false, the soldiers believe it was
left at Big Spring, where Mount Yer
non barracks now are, at the time Gen.
Jackson's army camped there, about
1819-2O.
Tradition says it was once o s~orrell,
but now it is white from age.
The Quartermaster' Department will
be chargeable with ingratitude if that
mule is sold, or the care or mainten-
ance of it thrown off the charitable
officers Of the post.
I advise that it be kept in the depart
ment, fed and maintained till death. I
think the mule was at Fort Morgan,
Mobile Point, when I was there in 1912.
The Secretary of Wa %thereupon
made the following order:
Let this mule be kept and well cared
for as long as lie lives.

The apple is n of the best of fruits.
Baked or stewed apples will generally
agree with the most delicate stomach,
n are an excellent medicine in many
cases of sickness. Green or half ripe
apples stewed and sweetened are pleas
ant to the taste, nourishing, cooling and
laxative, far superior in many cases to
the abominable doses of salts and oil
usually given nfever and other diseases.
Raw apples and dried apples stewed
are better for constipation than most
liver pills.
Oranges are very acceptable to most
stomachs, having all the advantages of
the acid alluded to, but the juice alone
should be taken, rejecting the pulp.
The same may be said of lemons,
pomegranates, and all that class.
Lemonade is the best drink in fevers,
and when thickened with SUGARS better
than sirup of squills and other nauseous
drugs i'll many cases of cough.
Tomatoes act on the liver and bowels,
and are much more pleasant and safe
than blue mass and "liver regulators. "
The juice should be used alone, reject
ing the skins.
The sma!l-seeded fruits, such rs black
berries, figs, raspberries and strowber-
ries. may be classed among the best
foods aud medicines. The sugar in
them is nutritious; the acid is cooling
and purifying, and the seeds are laxa-
tive. We would be much the gamers if
we would look more to our gardens and
orchards for our medicines and less to
cur drug stores. To cure fever or act
on the kidneys no febrifuge or diuretic
is superior to watermelons, which may,
with very few exceptions, be taken in
sickness and in health in almost unlim-
tied quantities, not only without injury,
but with positive benefit. But in using
them the water or juice shouldb be taken
excluding the pulp; and the melon
should be fresh and ripe, but not over
ripe and stale.
Period Of CESSATION OF Farm Animals.
What is the average period of gesta-
ton of farm animals?
Ans.-The period of CESSATION varies
considerably in case of each class
If domestic animals, but the mean is
about as follows; mare, 347 days;
ass, - months; COW, 2S5 days; eve,
l54 days; SOW, lis days; goat,
116 days; dog, 81 or SO days; cat, so
days; rabbit, 30 days; guinea-pig, 81
days turkey, 26 to 30 days; grinea-hen,
% to 26 days; pea-hen, % to 80
days; ducks, 25 to 30 days; geese, 27 OF
33 days: hens, 10 to "a days-or an av-
erage of 81 days; pigeons, Is to 20 days
canary birds 13 to IA days. Cold
weather or an east wind will lengthen
the time a day or two more in the case
OF birds, while warm weather and an
attentive sitter will shorten it. The
small breeds of all animals require less
time than the large breeds. The period
of CESSATION of a mare may be extended
or diminished as much as five or six
weeks; while that of COWS has varied
from 900 to 313 days.

woMAN's SPHERE
why Judge ludlow Refused Nrs. Xilgor.
Admission to the Bar.

Judge Ludlow, of Philadelphia, in
refusing Mrs. Kilgore admission to the
bar, took occasion to say: 1T may be
admitted at once that no inherent reason
exists why a woman. married or single,
may not engage in any business which a
man may lawfully follow. It ought,
however, to be remembered that the
Creator of the universe, for a reason
which any reasonable being ought to
consider self-evident, made q dis
tinction between the sexes, and saw
fit, u the propagation of the species, to
protect the physically weaker sex by
laws as inlexible as other and general
laws governing the universe, and to
place under the protection of the male
sex the female, simply because, as o
general and universal law, applicable
to all created living organisms the fe-
male requires protection. OF excep-
tional cases we do not speak, but of gen
eral laws, by which alone we must de-
termine principles Of universal appli-
cation. Again, experience, if it proves
anything, establishes the fact that,
while a dividing line cannot be accur-
ately drawn between duties chiefly per-
tanning to the male and female, the laws
of God or for those who deny his ex-
istence, the laws of nature distinctly
point to the female for the performance
of these duties-to my mind of the high
est and coolest nature which may be per-
formed by her-if not in private, at least
from public glare and public exposure.
These duties are 20 various and many
that it is needless tn enumerate them.
l am opposed to the admission of this
lady who is a married woman of unques-
tionable character and ability, first, be-
cause no law or custom sanctions, but
on the contrary, contemporaneous ex-
position and universalpractice condemn
it; second, to grant this motion would
be, in the present condition OF the law,
an act of judicial Legislation, and there
fore of judicial usurpation; third, be-
cause in this instance the applicant, be-
ing a married woman, cannot enter into
those contracts without ability to make
what she cannot legally practice as an
attorney of the courts: fourth, because
the question is one peculiarly the sub
ject of legislation, and therefore must
be solved by Legislative and not by judi
cial authority"

Gladstone off DUTY.
Olive Logan, in Philadelphia Times.

Olive Logan, in Philadelphia Times.
do not mean to say that Mr.. Glad
stone looks like a young man. He bears
his years grandly, but there is no effort
made to shirk them by foppery or adj
ventitious aid. Half covered by a lap
robe of black fur, England's large
imbed ruler leaned back in a low VIC
toria, his earnest eyes peering out at the
passers, as though he read in the face of
each his verdict on the Eastern policy of
the government. What a responsible
ty rests on the shoulders of this intel
lectual giant! AS he SAID, in substance,
in his great speech, the guidance of an
empire of 800, 900 900 of souls is occu-
patton enough without the
supervention of extraneous work
arising from disturbances
in barbarious lands; and yet that work
is put upon him. I could not help
thinking that the royal family possess
in Mr.. Gladstone o first-class manager
of their business house, when, after
passing the Premier's carriage, L came
upon tidt VI tue ITllCeSS VI VhleS,
whose placid features are unrufaed by
a single cloud of anxiety. The dainty
little woman, clad in tlght-fitting appar-
ell of black, a sable boa encircling her
tiny throat, was nursing a lap-dog as
she drove and toying with its silky ears.
With her were her three daughters, all
dressed alike in costumes of cherry-col-
ored serge, quaint caps Of the same ma
terial perched above their streaming
golden locks. These good people drive
without out-riders, military escort ,equer-
ries or any paraphernalia of the kind.
Their equipage is elegant and their
horseAesh very fine, but not more SO
than many others one sees in the park.

now be put in order-and planted as
far as may be-before the farm work is
begun or it will be apt to be neglected.
And why should not the husbandman-

upon himself instead of casting
it upon the farm wife, whose do
nestle duties are sufficiently engros-
sing without this addition to them

LOVES TRANSPORTATION.

y strange sweet loveliness! Offender grace,
lhat N the light of passions day-spring
Soft splendor on u fair familiar face
managing 1t, yet unchanged and old, yet new!

which traced the smile about that flower
like lIfouth,
Yet darkened with the passion of the South
And the white arch of Thoughtful forehead,
crowned
With meeting waves of hair;--but still l

Soae undreamt light of tenderness that fell
from the new dawn, and made more fair to
see
What was so fair, that now no song can tell
How lovely seemed thy heartfelt face to me,

q GibCraf Collection.

The Trustees of the NJ f. Church
found themselves considerable behind
in funds to meet the incidental ex-
penses which include parsonage rent,
fuel. lights etc, at the close of the first
six months Of the current year, and
last Sunday morning Mr.. Irish, after
the morning services, made a brief
statement in the case and asked for q
collection of 800, and closed his re-
marks by leading OFF with a ten dollar
donation and the morning collection
amounted to some $50, and the even
ing congregation added enough more
to make the sum total of s1O0.50,
which with the usual basket collec-
tions made a total for the day oslo.
This was most generous response to
the needs Of the hour, and indicates
that the church has many warm sup
porters here. May the Lord amply
reward the givers; the Pastor and
Board of Trustees can only return their
most hearty thanks to one and all for
their kind assistance.

= If we are not able to pave second
street now, why would it not be good
plan TO lay a plank wagon track
through the centre of that street from
the Nemadii to Corners Point? 1t is
not Necessary to cover all the ground
but simply enough for loaded teams
with ''turnoutso at convenient inter-
walls. The little strip of this plank
road system from the depot out to
second street is enough to show that
the plan would be good one. 1t
would net only make a good road for
heavy teaming, but would prevent
the street from being cut up into deep
ruts, and save much in the way of re-
pairs. viii the new Board consider
the matter, and get some estimates Of
the probable cost? Such a road would
last until we are able to pave the
street, and surely it needs it.

Another Railroad for Superior

1t is reported that the Manitoba
railroad has purchased 100 acres of
land in section Is, 40, II in the town
of Superior with a small frontage on
the Bay Of St. Louis. Thus one after
another of the sanguine dreams Of Du-
luth are doomed to disappear--no
more railroads on her steep hill sides.
Superior is now the terminus of the
n. 2. r. r., the c. St p NJ. & O.
r. r. and the Manitoba r. r. Du-
luth is like Ben. Butler in war times,
ehectuaIly bottled up, and like her

his draw bridge. We learn some con
tracts over on the Duluth hill side for
buildings are rescinded and more are
to follow.
