Sometimes it runs nervously about.
This Is now followed by a dry cough,
owing to the dryness of the lining

soon followed by discharge from the
nostrils, which discharge is foul, i'll
smelling, and slightly stained with
blood. The inflammation ofthe mu.
cous lining OF the nostrils and the dis

up over the eyes, covering them with
a large mass of cheesy matter, and
sometimes proving so severe as %
cause blindness; down IN the throat

pours out OF the mouth also and har-
dens on the surrounding parts. Con-
slant coughs is the result of this dis
charge. Emaciation progressing very
rapidly is seen IN most cases, although
IN some of them the appetite is raven

through the intestinal canal without
being dlgested, or only digested in
part. Some of the peculiar matter

Home and Farm,
A Good Farmer.

IT'S said tree is known by its
fruits, and farmer is known by his
work. A good farmer will not rest
contentedly in coy corner, or sleep
peacefully in his warm bed on a cold
night. while he knows his stock is eX-
posed to the cold winter blasts with
no shelter. a good farmer will pro-
vide comfortable quarters for his poul-
try for he believes when rightly cared
for, poultry raising does pay.
A good farmer will not suffer things
to lie scattered round here and there
to be kicked out of the way, but has
place for everything and keeps every
thing in its proer place.
A good farmer never allows his hogs
cattle, or any of his stock to intrude
upon his nelghbors. but has them SO
well provided for at home that they
have no desire to ramble away.
A good farmer provides we'll for his
family, dees all he can to make the
home and its surroundings pleasant,
comfortable and beautiful for his wife
and children As the home is the
place where the farmers wife has to
spend the greater portion of her time,
it IS right she should have all things
that can conveniently be got in order
to make home and its surroundings
both beautiful and attractive, 1t will
take very little outlay of money and
only few moments time to fix up
things around home and make il look
attractive to your wife and daughter.
Yet we find many farmers neglecting
these things and letting things go in
shabby condition, gates off the hinges
or, perhaps, as is the case many times.

Tho Demoralizlng Base Burner.

Chicago ledger.)
In our opinion the base burner has
much to do with the increase OF DEVIL
ment, and the burning coal has been
the main cause of the widespread of
badness. When the base burner came
on the carpet the bucksaw went
hence, and the viciousness of youth I'M
mediately gathered Roadway that had
previously been kept under that whole
some and energetic restraint. The
modern base burner is a thing of
beauty, but 1t will not be thing ofioy

old times when a boy was at the wood.
pile you could be sure he wasn't any
where else, and as long as you could
hear the wheezy old saw keeping time
to his putting you felt an absolute
certainty your child was not wearing
out shoe leather on the road to perdi-
ton. The saw was seldom sharpened
for fear of wearing out the teeth and
making i, easier for the boy, and there
is a soothing consolation in knowing
that the amount of exercise to be
drawn out of cord of wood under
these conditions would be fully up. to
the maximum. The longer it took to
dlssever the sticks the longer the boy
would be out of mischief, and families
able to keep up more than one fir
had moderately sure thing in rearing
their boys to manhood in moral safety
and muscular sorndness. No efflmi-
nate dudes those days. While the boy
was wrestling with the wood pile, ours
ing his fate and resolving in his gloomy
soul to be pirate, you could be sure
he wasn't robbing somebody's orch
ard, and learning to be a politician. If
We would bask in the sunshine of alb
'olute true goodness the good cord
wood days must be restored.
