Hints to Farmers.

Gardening commences now in the
Southern States.
A New Hampshire correspondent of
the American Cultivator for an apple
orchard of 300 trees in that locality
would plant 299 Baldwins and, on re-
Election, the other one Baldwin. This,
of course, for market fruit; also as the
result of personal experience ofnear-
~ forty years."
Let those who are near the markets
count on raising early chickens for
sale. Fairly managed this becomes one
of the most profitable branches of
poultry raising.
Wherever, says the Massachusetts
Ploughman, good, live Farmers Club
exists, there is but little chance for
swindlers to succeed; this they have
learned, and 50, as rule, confne their
operations to farmers who stay at home,
and do not read the papers.
The high prices charged for seed
sweet-corn are fully earned by growers,
as the difficulty in properly drying and
cultivatlng it makes it cost much more
than the ordinary field varieties.
It is undoubtedly bad practice to Gull
tivate or pillow heavy soil when soaked
with water in the spring, but this OBJ
lection does not apply to the light rains
that fall in midsummer and early fall.
while the soil is still warm,
Mr.. Bradley, of Massachusetts, has
his bulls stall so arranged that, instead
of leading the bull out into the yard,
the COW is led into the bulls stall for
service. The COW is then quietly led
away.
Sprinkle little lime (air slacked)
over the potatoes in your cellar. It will
tend to prevent rot, and purify the air
Of the cellar.
Should you run out of axle grease
some busy time, mix two parts of lard
with one each of black lead and wheat
-four and apply.

Ia r Smoke for Diphther1a.,

Ruth Lockwood, the 9-year- old child
Of Thomas Lockwood, a compositor in
the New York Times Office, became vio-
lently i'll with diphtheria on a Tuesday
night. She was so week that it was
deemed dangerous to try tracheotomy,
or cutting open the windplpe. On
Thursday, DR.. Nichols, Of liz West
Washington place, who. was attending
her, received copy of the Paris. Figaro,
which contained a report made. to the
French Academy of Medicine by Dr..
Delthil, who said that the vapors of
liquid tar and turpentine would dissolve
the fibrinous exudations which choke up
the throat in Group and diphtheria.
DIR. Delthil's process was described.
He pours equal parts of tnrpentine
and liquid tar into tin pan
or cup and sets fire to the
mixture. A dense resinous smoke
arises, which obscures the air of the
room. "The patient" DIR. Delthil says,
Immediately seems to experience re-
lief; the choking and rattle stop; the
patient falls into slumber and seems
to inhale the smoke with pleasure.
The fbrinous membrane soon becomes
detached, and the patient coughs up
microbicides. These when caught in a
glass may be seen to dissolve in the
smoke. In the course Of three DAYS
afterward the patient entirely recov-
ers." DR.. Nichols tried this treatment
with little Ruth Lockwood. She was
lying gasping for breath when he visit
ed her. First pouring out two table
spoonfuls of iquifed tar on an iron
pan, he poured as much turpentine over
1T and set it on fire. The rich resinous
smoke which rose to the ceiling was by
no means unpleasant. AS it filled the
room the child's breathing became
natural, and as the smoke grew dense
she fell asleep, with the results as
above.

Rather Cold Weather.

The Boston Journal of Chemistry,
1875, says that on the January previous
the thermometer at Jakoutsk, Eastern
Siberia registered 1O1.8 below, and in
the same country a staff surgeon had
known it to be eight degrees colder, mer-
curry in that region is solid for hours at
time, and can be worked with ham
mer like lead; iron is brittle as glass,
and is useless; even fire itself seems to
freeze, for the gases which feed it lose
their heat. During the winter of 1919-2O
it was impossible to go out without a
mask. to prevent losing the nose or ears.
In case of another polar wave this win
ter, we advise people to cut this par.
agraph out and read it over now and
then. It will helpkeep them warm and
save fuel.

British Generals. Slain in Battle
Fro1a the Whitehall Review
The death of General Earle calls to


The death of General Earle calls to
mind how few instances there are of
British Generals being killed on the field
of battle. Since Picton fell in the hour of
victory at Waterloo, the cases have been
very few and far between, no instance
occurring until Sobraon, when that fine
soldier, Maips General Sir Robert
Dick, was slain, at the head of his d,yis-
ion. Some Of the old school of officers
will no douhtsrecaM General Dick, a
hero of countless escapes in his day,
who had been, wounded at Mazda, Sc
verely before Rosetta in the Egyptian
campaign of 1901, again in the P aninsu-
la. and a fourth time at Quat1e- Bras,
when he had command of the Black
Watch. The only remaining Instances
are these of Lieutenant General Sir
George Cathcart, "blest," to quote
Kinglake, with soldiers dsath in &C
ton, at the head of the fourth divis-
ion on the field of Inkerman; Major
General Sir George Colley,shot through
the head on that awful day at Maiuba
Hill-as yet unavenged; and Major
General William Earle, killed in action
at Dulka. That fine old Horse Artille-
ryman, Fox-Strangways, also killed at
Inkerman, held only brigadier- generals
rank. The three general officers killed
in the Indian Mutiry campaign-viz.,
Sir Henry Lawrence, Neil and Penny
belonged to the Indian Army. as did
Sir Hugh Wheeler, slain in his old age
IN the massacre of Cawnpore. Have.
lock, Arson and Barnard-all three la
mented victims to the dark days of 1857
were not killed in action, but died of
illness contracted during the campaign.

The Virtues Of sk1mmed MIX,

Mont Robinson, Fairmont, Vermillion
County, ILL.,, sends the following, hop
ing sufferers from Bright's disease and
rheumatism may be benefited by it:
For over ten years had rheumatism,
and was at times confined to my house
and finally to my bed. All the time
there was more or less kidney trouble,
which finally developed into a clearly
defined case of Bright's disease, every
symptom being present, beside other
complications and irregularities. As
soon as it was plain that the fatal disease
had set in, [ Immediately put myself
under the milk treatment, but partook
OF other food for three weeks before go
ing on an exclusive skimm ed milk diet.
For three months I subsisted upon
thoroughly skinned milk; not drop
of any other fluid OF a morsel of solid
food was taken. I at once began to i'm
prove, although losing flesh, and at the
end OF three months was as we'll as ev-
er was IN my life. Not only the kidney
disease was cured, but every other all
ment. After resuming solid food as diet
I regained my normal weight and ara
now growing stronger continuously,
and can do any kind Of work that I
could do in my prime, although am
fifty years Of age. I feel like boy
again. I began using the skinned
milk one year ago, and still use it as
my drink. [ am very careful about my
diet, subsisting, mostly on vegetables,
avoiding sugar, oils, meats and all con-
diments.

Personalities,

A picture of Abraham Lincoln, worth
$4,000, has stood boxed up in dark
and dingy corner of the Capitol at AL
bany for over four years.
Mr.. Bonner stated recently that he
paid $377 900 for thirty-fve of bis
prominent flyers, Maud S. and Poca-
hontas costing $4,000 each.
Gath has found that labelling three
columns of ancient history special dis
patch" and selling it to newspaper is
more profitable than lecturing in the
state Of Ohio.
United States Senator Dawes, OF
Massachusetts,, and Senator-elect w.
NJ. Evarts, of New York, are cousins
both being grandsons of Roger Sher-
man, who died Senator in 1893.
A few days after Dickens's death an
Englishman, deeply grieved at the
event, made a pilgrimage to Gad's Hill,
and as, he was having some refreshment
at the famous John Falstaf, Inn, near
at hand, the effusiveness of his emotions
prompted him to take the waiter into
his confidence. "a great loss, this, of
Mr.. Dickens" sail the pilgrim. "a
great loss to us, sir, replied the waiter,
shaking his head, che had all his ale
sent in fir om this house."
Thesons of some of the very rich
men Of New York are said to be living
at a, tremendously extrayagant rate,
and;are likely to see the bottom of the
fortunes acquired by economy and
thrift. One gilded youth recently char
tered a palace car at 500 per day and
took a party of friends to New Orleans,
this being but one item in the expend1-
ture.- Another is touring it around the
world in yacht. A third, who is "no
end Of SWELL" cuts his father dead
when they meet in Fifth avenue.
The interment alive of Miss Cox, at
Okonoko, w. Va, relates the Cumber-
land Times, recalls to mind the curious
custom practiced by an old Virginia
family, the Fendals, of Alexandra.
Whenevera member of the family dies.
the male representative of the Older
branch thereof, just before the hour for
interment, buries 8. dagger in the heart
of the dead to assure himself; of no re-
awakening. The dagger used is enc
sacred to the purpose, and has been
deYoted to it's use for many generations.
The custom originated because OF the
| burial alive Of a member Of the family
and an inherited tendency TO "a peculiar
form of heart disease.
Speaker Carlisle is making collec-
ton of the most curious communications
he receives, such, for instance, as a let
ter from q Minnesotlan, who wanted an
appropriation by Congress to provide
him with good sleigh. He told what
kind Of wood it was to be made Of, how
many bells it should have, and how
thick the steel Of the runners should be
and in post>seriptrrm intimated that
the salvation of the country depended
| on the appropriation being made
promptly.

There is no period III woman's Life

fact that q great many Of them permit
themselves to be coarted by men who

A BAD HABIT-The young man VITO
,shriuks his duties as often as possible never
succeeds in life. You may set it dowa al
once that sooner or later he will be dr. lie
in the great hive of human industry, ll"'"g
without any purpose in life and scorned ~
all who have willing hands and follow ny.
whatever they can find to do. Young man, I
you want to gain the confidence and esteem
of your employer, never shrink from q"
If over-lasked, lay in your comp laints anh
you will always get hearing. lfyou b.- IN
life shirk you may set it down as a hx'n
fact that the habit will follow you through
life, and instead of success you will be an
utter failure. And there are enough failures
in the world already.
A young man who thinks he can lea1 i
reckless and prohigate life until he becon'rs
a middle. aged man, and then repent ana
make good, steady citizen, is deludo";;
He thinks that people are fools, destitute OF
memory. He concludes that if be repeLts
everybody will forget that he was a dSSl
pated fellow. This is not the case; poop c
remember your bad deeds and forget your
good ones. Besides, it is no easy thing TO
break of in middle life bad habits that have
been formed in youth.

WHAT IS DYNAMITE ?-Nitro-glycerine IS
prepared by the action of mixture of con-
centrated nitric and sulphuric acids upon
glycerine introduced drop by drop. Dyna-
mite is made by filling some absorbent with
nitro glycerine. The best article for this pun
pose is silicious infusorial earth found in
Hanover. 1t will absorb three times its weight
of the pitro-glycerine. 1t produces three
times as much gas and twice as much heat
as gunpowder. 1t may be exp by a
primer charged with fifteen grains of fulmi-
mating mercury-like percussion cap.
