A Good Word.

The Exposition Iowan," a paper published at the Worlds Exposition, in New Orleans, by the Iowa representatives there, has this to say of the exhibits from this Territory: ''So far there has been little written or said con
 corning the part the Territory of Arizona is going to take in the exposition, but commissioner Frank Murphy, of Prescott, is carefully preparing an exhibit that is going to be surprise to majority and a pleasure to all observers. By recent visit to the Arizona space, in the north end of Government building, we were convinced of this fact. An erroneous impression prevails to the effect that the Territory is altogether mountainous and desert country. No report could be more unjust or remote from the truth, as is effectually proven by the display. It is blessed with fine farming lands, and one of the finest climates imaginable, by which it's agricultural products are enabled to rival those of the wonderful mines which made 1t famous. The Arizona exhibit is going to be one of the principal features of the Government build

Day by day, as the further de- tails of the Spanish earthquake are received, the horrors of that event are printed in darker colors. The loss of life, which was first estimated at about fifty, will be nearly one thousand, and the de- struction of property was much greater than was first reported. Sunny Spain, like our own Terri tory, is experiencing an unusual cold snap, and the poor people, whose homes have been destroyed, are suffering from exposure as well as hunger. The slight shocks which have occurred from day to day keep the people panic stricken and without the courage to begin to rebuild their ruined homes or do anything to better the situation. Their condition is indeed very pitiable.
 A hundred years ago, in Maine, they employed different means than those now resorted to for erecting their sacred edifces.  The good Christian of to day would hardly consent to the em- ployment of rum, with the necessary concomitants, sugar and molasses, as a factor in church building. Here is copy of an entry in the parish records of Alfred, Maine, dated April 6, 17S4: "The inhabitants of this parish met pursuant to adjourn ment and passed the following vote: Voted to purchase 2 bar rels of rum, 1 barrel of pork, 4 bushels of beans, 10 gallons of mo lasses, 10 pounds of coffee and 10 pounds of sugar, to raise the meeting house. Voted that Nathaniel Ccntant was desired to procure said articles"

Hoven or Bloat In Cattle.

Either clover or green corn will founder
animals They are so greedy that they eat
more than can be digested. The food sours
in their stomachs and develops gases which
so swell the animal up that the natural
passages are obstructed and it dies. There
is hardly any curing bad case of founder.
The best thing to do is to start the saliva
flowing and make the animal swallow it.
The saliva contains substances which COM
bine chemically with the acids in the sour
food Of the stomach and stop the formation
ofgas. For this purpose it is recommended
to put stick about as large as hoe handle
through the animals mouth and tie it back
to the horns. The stick rubbing against the
salivary glands irritates them and causes
the fluid to flow. In hoven or founder
the mouth is dry Of saliva II,
however, the case is too far gone for
this kind Of relief, the animals paunch must
be opened and the gas let out. 1t is done

Making Ones Self Deaf at Will.

Some years ago, owing to illness and
long residence in the tropics, | became
morbid, sensitive to noises of every
kind, and procured complete relief in
the following way: Iplaced some sper-
maceti ointment in the center of a little
square of thin, limp cotton, brought
the corners together, tied them with
thread, and inserted one of the little
plugs well into each ear, and after a
little kneading and gentle pressure
found that l was absolutely deaf to all
ordinary noises, such as the loud bark
ing of dogs and the rumbling of heavy
carriages in the streets. A couple of
points must be carefully attended to.
The ointment must not be too soft, the
quantity about the size of a small pea,
and the little bag must be somewhat
larger than its contents to allow the
plug to take the shape Of the auditory
canal. If the bag be too small, or its
contents larger in size than a pea, it
can not be inserted into the ear, and if
applied only to the oritice it entirely
fails in its object. This little expert
ment is easily tried, and daily exper-
fence of over twelve months warrants
me in saying that it will be found in
valuable in the sick-room.-LOndo"

Ohio will only produce 81 per cent Of an
average crop. The crop of politics, however,
promises to more than make up for it this
year. In Kansas the crop will be so poor
that the whole production will be needed for
bread and seed at home. There will only be
a 25 per cent yield. The failure is owing to
the severe winter and insect ravages. The
Hessian fly has reappearcd in Kansas and
elsewhere, and is playing havoc. 1t is even
destroying wheat fields on the Pacific coast,
where it has been hitherto unknown. The
crop in the older states is mostly reported in
the same discouraging way. The crop in
Manitoba British possessions, will be So
riously shortened on account of the war
there
In this emergency it is the new northwest
that will come to the rescue with the
spring wheat. In 1866 Dakotas wheat
lands were unknown This year Dakota
has 400, 900 acres planted in spring wheat
This part Of the crop fortunately promises
well, although there was a decreased aero
age sown, owing to the discouragingly low
price Of the grain. In Dakota, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska the prospects
for spring wheat are at this writing fairly
good In most Of that region, moreover, 10
to 25 per cent. of the old wheat crop is still
on hand. Thus, taking the whole land to-
gether the loss in one section will be made
good by productiveness in another, and we
shall not suffer for bread This Is big
country, fortunately.

The very unfa vorable report from the
agricultural bureau concerning the con-
dition and prospects Of the growing crop OF
winter wheat would, under other circum-
stances, be quite alarming. Twenty years
ago, in 1868, the growing winter wheat in
middle ATTITUDES was blasted in the bloom
by the very hot weather Of April in that
year, and the yield~was hardly worth har-
vesting. Prices were then as now, unusually
low in this as well as in British markets,
and people were slow to believe that
any serious advance could take place. But
before the next crop could be made avail.
able-that is, in the summer Of 1S68-wheat
sold as high as a bushel in this market
and -four at from $ls to Sc per barrel, and
we were compelled to bring wheat from
Liverpool to supply our needs, besides
diverting shipments from the Pacific coast
to this market. With large surplus OF
wheat left over from last year, the area OF
spring wheat growing greatly extended,
there is probably no danger now of such u
deficiency as then existed. Besides, the
condition of winter wheat has greatly I'M
proved since the compilation of the data
upon which the bureaus report is based. In
Texas harvesting has already begun.

AristoCratic Custom Doesn't Pay.

1T may surprise you to be told, said
an old hotel clerk, to whom | had re-
marked that probably Garmoyles pres
ence as guest was good thing for the

eign aristocrats is a damage. Fifteen
years ago nearly every titled foreigner
who came her put up at the Clarendon

for awhile the exclusive favor of such
tourists. 1t bankruptcd its keepers. Ten
years ago the Brevoort got this run of
business, and held it until lately, and
the proprietor is bankrupt. The Ho-
tel Brunswick succeeded to the business
of feeding and lodging the aristocrats.
and the concern has been in the hands
of a receiver for month. The reason
is quite simple. The guests demand
the very best but are not willing to
spend money freely enough to make a
profit for the landlord. In short, they
want the fare of Americans without
paying as Americans do. Their pres
ence has ruined every hotel which has
had it in this city.'-Ne,0 York Cor.

Farm Implements.

1t is the improved method in agriculture
to cultivate everything possible by horse
rather than by man labor. Either harrow
or cultivator, and both are used to an extent
that makes a slouchy old-time farmer stare.
Vegetables even may be largely tended with
the horse cuitivator. The beastly, back.
breaking human labor incident to the cul'
ture Of large areas by hand is all wrong.
Such labor stiffens and stunts the best
growth that there is in man, and degrades
him to a level with the quadruped 1t never
was meant that human beings should labor
In that way. Such work is for the OK and
the ass
It is this monstrous back breaking labor
that makes farm life hateful to ambitious
boys. Above all things we ought to be ener-
getic and industrious. But If the farmer
strains his back and stiffens his muscles
doing the work Of an OK, he will at length
become stiff old OK. He will lose the hope
and ambition that are the best heritage OF
man. Don't do It,
Cultivate every thing you can by horse
and mule power. If you plant radishes,
onions and lettuce in double rows they may
be tended with the small cultivator. So
may melons and cucumbers, till they make
long vines, ami then they need no more
working Horse power stirs the ground
deeper and ventilates it better than man
power Strawberries in narrow rows may
be worked with the fine tooth cultiyatOr.
Beets, turnips, carrots and parsnips may
be either planted in single drills or double
rows, and cheaply raised by horse power.
In the west, where farmers are energetic,
new things are learned more rapidly than in
the east. Among western farmers it is the
method to harrow corn almost altogether,
The process is no child's play, either. A large
harrow ten or twelve feet wide is used. This
is driven through the field, over corn rows
and all, till the stalks are SO large they be-
gin TO break down under the harrow If the
ground is cloddy, the roller is first used.
Only the horses feet are kept off the corn
rows. The harrow has a wide, slantng
tooth Such u harrow, it is said, will read
lily go over twenty-t five acre field in one
day, That is how farmers understand corn
tending out west. They could give the east
some lessons.
The model farmer will provide himself
with an abundance Of implements for all
purposes Then he will take care of them.

trivances are given this week. The first

A California Girl.


The editor of The Marysville (Cal) Appeal
made summer trip of few weeks through
a portion of that beautiful state. He
stopped at farm house which showed evil
dences of luxury and refinement like rich
mans home. He says: Among the members
of the family was daughter Is or 10 years
old In the morning we were invited to see
the work in which the young lady was en-
gagged. We found a complete and successful
fowl-raisiLg establishment. A number of
small Enclosures, with a capacity Of forty
fowls each, had been male. There was
little house in the center Of each inclosure.
The whole cost of the Enclosures and houses
could not have been more than $500 With
this investment she was raising 900 chickens,
and perfect swarm of ducks and turkeys,
all IN perfect health.
A breeder of fancy fowls had sent out 900
of bis choice ohicks to be reared, for which
this young lady Is to receive g. so apiece, or
$500. Without any unforeseen accident this
little establishment will net its brave owner
from $3.50 to $1,000 this season. This is
better than competing With Chinaman in
a bot kitchen over burning bacon and cab
hage It is better than to struggle with the
needle for fashionable living in q field al
ready overfull, and it Is thousand times
better than idleness in shabby gentility
What this energetic young lady is doing
thousands of others can do. A beginning
can be made in q small way, and additions
can be made to tho buildings and Enclosures
as the profits will pay for them. Here is a
pleasant and profitable business for hundreds
of idle people who are wishing for something
to do. A little energy, enterprise and
courage is the principal capital required
for start. With industry, success will re-

1t was nothing but an old wheat sack
filed with hay, and suspended by a rope
from the ceiling, so that the sack hung just
at the heels of vicious horse as he stood in
his stall. When the sack was first placed in
position the kicking equine lot fly both feet
at it as soon as it touched him, but after ten
or twenty minutes Of that kind of work he
came to the conclusion that the sack would
return as often as he struck it, and he final
ly gave up trying to 'knock it out" This
same horse, which has a reputation as q
kicker, can now be hitched to any vehicle,
and he will not kick at anything that hap
pens to strike his heels. 1t is said that any
horse can be cured by it. One good feature
about it is its cheapness.

plain harrows in use.
Spring tooth cultivators are now also
made We give below cut of a combina-
ton harrow and cultivator. Complete, it
has three sections of teeth. When the three
are all i'll place, it forms harrow cultiva-

section of teeth is removed and the blank
place skips the row. There are fifteen teeth
altogether in double row. The outside
ones run behind the wheel. There are
shields at the sides, so that the cultivator
may be run close to the plant, cutting out
the weeds near it without covering it up.
