THE MIND-CURE.
A Late Boston Notion for the Cure of
Physical Ills.

Physical Ills.
That this new departure from medical
practice is gaining in Boston is every day
demonstrated, and wonderful cures are
stated, not from laying on of hands, but
from laying on of mind, where sufferers
are restored from belief of disease to
belief of health by the subtitle influence
of superior will, it being held by the
new scientists that all disease is of the
mind, and healthy condition of the
mind will cause a healthy condition of
the body, which body is but phenome-
non ofthe mind. Medicines are banished
from the sick room, and everything to
give the patient belief in his sickness,
and the healer merely sits and argues
the case mentally, with no volition of
the patient in the matter, and the re-
suit, through the mysterious influences,
follows. My attention was called to n
case of this kind not long since, where
/ was taken into a doorway, at the risk
Of month rheumatism, to be told of
a wonderful cure of asthma, personal to
the narrator. The Boston Post of Tues
day published very concise account of
the system and its results, and one
name was given as voucher that to me
is the acme OF proof. If, as claimed,
life, intelligence, sensation belong not
to matter, but mind, wonderful change
might be brought about in human affairs
by applying the new science to the Incl
dents of life; anxiety regarding business
might be banished, hopeful seeds inn
planted, bigoted judgment corrected,
and even those suffering from political
reverses be led to see things in cheer
full light. There may be great events
involved in it, and what we want is the
truth. | would throw this gold diamond
pointed pen of mine into the street be-
fore l would write one word that might
be construed into support of untruth.
But what is truth? The mind-cure
must abide by the trial OF time, its truth
to be determined by its proven merits. -

Stock That Can Not Well Be Dispensed
With in the Farm Economy.
Mr.. Henry Lane has given particular
attention to sheep husbandry and APP
preciates the value of this stock from
the standpoint of practical agriculture,
especially in the older States. Refer
ring to the increase of fiocks in New
Hampshire and Vermont from 1900 to
1910, and their almost as rapid decline
since the latter date, he regrets the fall
ing off as extremely improvident, and
sets forth in the Mirror his reasons for
this view, with helpful suggestions il
Illustrated by English experience:
thousands of acres of pasture lands
are being overrun with bushes and briers
They are being abandoned, not consid-
cred worth refencing for cattle. BY
keeping sheep Il few years they can be
brought back to a productive condition.
The day is past when the fleece will pay
the cost of keep. Wool is lower, but
mutton higher, than forty years ago,
when it was considered profitable to
keep sheep. Combine the two products
and sheep husbandry is as profitable
now as at any previous period, and
should again assume as great impOr-
lance in our State. As States grow
older, the process of agriculture must be
changed and improved. If the growing
of wool will not pay, and it will not in
any State as lands become more valu-
able, mutton becomes the most valuable
sheep product.
LAS this transition takes place, the
breed of sheep must be changed and
adapted to this new condition. England
formerly produced large quantities of
fine wool. Now it can be purchased at
a much less price than it cost her to
produce it. Fine wool is produced very
cheap in new and sparsely populated
countries. England, on this account,
did not abandon sheep husbandry, but
keeps as many sheep as at any former
period in her history. She changed her
fine wool sheep to mutton breeds. En-
gland keeps larger number of sheep.
according to her acres of cultivated
land, than any section in this country.
English farmers understand that it is
giving sheep this prominence that has
enabled them to increase their average
yield of wheat per acre up to twenty
eight bushels. Our average is but
twelve bushels"
The superiority of sheep over other
stock for the improvement of land and
consequent increase of the grain crops,
Mr.. Lane thinks, will be generally adj
mitted by the thoughtful agriculturist,
and he urges that their usefulness in
this direction should be remembered to
their credit, even though the direct
profit may be small.-N T. IIjjuRc.

As regards the keeping qualities of
washed butter, Henry Stewart, the we'll
known authority on dairving, tells us
he kept a lifty-pound pail of washed
butter a year; it then brought three
cents pound above the price of fresh
butter sent to the New York market
with it from an ordinary commission
man. 1t was washed in the churn with
very weak brine after the buttermilk
had been drawn off and was salted.-

The AmeTic0D CUJticat0r tells of a
dairyman who undertook to churn his
cream sweet, instead of allowing it to
ripen before churning; the result was
that the choice, aromatic, nutty favored
product" which had previously distin-
guished his dairy, was replaced with
butter devoid of flavor or fragrance,
having dead, neutral taste, " and the
weeks product sold at thirty-live cents
per pound, instead of at seventy cents,
the usual price for previous consign-
ments.

Lima Beans in Corn-IIiI!s.

For the benefit of many readers on
prairie and elsewhere, let me say that
this bean can be raised among corn
Just as well as OF better than on poles,
and by Limas | mean the true seed, not
the common little "butter" bean. If
time serves | plant but two beans to the
hill lin corn 81 by / feet apart), taking
pains to put the bean eye downward
from one inch to an inch and half
deep. If in too much of a hurry to do
this | drop about four beans down care
lcssly to each hill. If corn is planted
nearer than above, plant beans in every
other row. This bean can not be har-
vested all at one picking, l went over
mine last season five or six times. To
perfect itself it needs considerable
shade. 1t will then have the green tint
that makes it so delicate.
Ii more than two vines grow to a hill

but [ have been unable to detect any
harm to the corn, and one-fourth acre
SO planted will give any family all they
can use, and one acre, carefully har-
vested, cleaned and sold in ordinary
markets, will bring in a sum not to be
despised by any farmer. The idea of
planting eyedown is that the bean is so
large and heavy it often breaks the
Young shoot in its endeavor to lift the
bean up sidewise. By planting the eye
down ii. e. on its edge, the most of the
resistance is overcome. People often
fail in getting a stand of this and other
large beans, and blame the seed, when
it is their own fault. G. Chase, in N.

these would have seemed simply insur-
mountable, but Napoleon responded eager
