Sweet Corn Better than Sorghum.

The planting of sorghum for stock is
again recommended in the agricultural
papers; but after several years cultivat-
ing ! have given it up for this purpose,
much preferring sweet corn. The OBJ
lection I found was, the stalks are so
hard and tough that cattle will not eat
any part except about two feet of the
top, whereas they eat every particle of
the sorts of sweet corn I raise for them,
the stalks being three-qnarters of an
inch in diameter at the butts, and 5 to
s feet tall. If the sorghum could be
first crushed by passing through heavy
rollers, as is done when the juice is to
be made into syrup and sugar, the stalks
might be made tender enough for cattle
fodder; but to pass them through a corn
stalk cutter would he of little benefit, as
the pieces. however shortcut, would
be still sharp at the edges, hard to
chew, and still harder to digest. l be-
lieve there is q great future for sorghum
throughout all our climates for making
a superior quality of syrup, and per-
haps also of sugar when the process Of
granulation becomes perfected, which I
suppose chemists will be able to accom-
plish in time. Sorghum has one merit
over corn-its roots penetrate the soil
more deeply, and this enables it to bear
q drouth %,>etter. and particularly in
light grayelly and sand soils. IF AIRY
one has had u more fav,1ahiv ~es,)er|-
ence in making it acceptable fo.iuer for
stock than I give above. Ishal' be glad
to hear from him.-A. B. Allen.

The Wtntsr's Lesson,

If any farmer has gone through the
past winter and learned no lesson, lie
is not the man we write for. It has
been a severe schooling to many. Some
will become disguised with the State,
and resolve at all risk to sell out and
go somewhere. But where will it b.?
Running away from Iowa billiards.,
what country will you find which has
not something worse? With your pres
emit knowledge of the good health and
prolific character Of Iowa, can not am
pie preparations be made to avoid the
bad effects and annoyances of Iowa
storms cheaper than you can sacrifice
your property, and go to some other
region where rosa-colored letters are
written from by bold spectators, and
where the country never keeps half
pace with Iowa IL production, prosper
ity and population.
There will this spring probably be
stampedes from the best States in the
Union::to Oklahoma and the two Indian
reservations just brought into market
in Dakota, south of Pierre. In either
case. i'll two years they will wish they
were back at their old homes.
Stay in Iowa, and prepare your
farms by evergreen wind-breaks, and
tast-growing groves for fuel. and pro-
vide cheap but warm and comfortable

No Cure for Chambers.

Chambers is q certainly fatal disease,
and as it is virulently contagious when
q horse is known to be af1ectedb it the
animal should be killed and buried deep
ly without delay. The law ~enforces by
heavy penalties this disposition Of q CLAN
derous horse. The disease begins with
swelling Of the glands of the throat;
tier. a white, thin, acid discharge es-
capes from one n~ostril, and at times
from both. On examination the
membrane called Schinderian) lin
ing the n~ostrils is seen to be of a
livid or lead blue or purple color, spot
ted with red raw sores or ulcers, having
a deeper colored ring around them.
This last symptom is unmistakable, and
when it appears no doubt remains and
the beast should be put out of suffering
and misery which will certainly ensue.
Death by CHAMBERS is horrible; the
wretched animal slowly rots away and
dies by inches IN extreme torment. At
first the symptoms of CHAMBERS are much
the same as those of distemper or nasal
gleet, but when these appear every pre-
caution should be taken against con-
tagion.-N. Y. Times.

Hattie explained to me- the mo-
dus operandi of some CT her home
achievements. Why! the chair I was
sitting on, such an easy one, with just
the right hollow for your back, was
made out of a -four barrel. Her brother
did the carpentry and she the uphol-
stery. Old fashioned Powered chintz,
too lovely for anything. And then the
lunch. 1 don't mean the eatables,
which were very simple, but deliciously
cooked. You would never have guessed
what tire center-pie for the table was
composed of. As pretty a flower or
nament as I ever SAW that girl had man
ufactured out of an old cruet- stand and
a pie plate. Positively! The cruet-
stand was set upon the tin plate, then the
whole covered with this luscious green
moss, excepting, of course, the handle
around which were twined, so as to con.
ceal the plating, some creeping vires.
Nesting amid the moss were half bio wn
roses and buds, while feathery felns
trembled gracefully at each passing
breeze. There, you see, 1 am getting
quite poetic over it, and no wonder, for
really that house is the abode OF poesy.
1t was summer time, and they have a
lovely garden, or they could not have
afforded the flowers, of course; but ]
assure you, before my visit ended,1
should not have doubted Hattie if
she had informed me she could trans
form a teakettle into q lovely parlor OF.

London's First pictorial Paper.

The pictorial press of London orig
mated with The Illustrated London
NeWs in 1872 The protector and
founder of this popular paper was Mr..
Herbert Ingram. He was a news.
agent at Nottingham. Occasionally,
to ac%centuate notable events, murders,
particularly, the local press published
a picture. The engraving was as
crude as the printing of it was unsat-
isfactory, but C always attended
the special edition Of the journal that
contained an illustration. The Not.
ing and observing turn of mind.
Taking note of the great extra sale at
tending even the poorest kind of news
paper engraving, it occurred to. him
to speculate upon the prospects of q
journal that should be full of pictures.
The idea Of an illustrated newspa-
per thus sprang up IN his mind, and
he never rested until he started for.
London and put it into shape. OF
course he was told that his scheme
was foolish-that it would never sue
coed. The paper raj not an immedi-
ate success. Mr.. Migrants capital
was limited. If he had entered upon.
the business backed as men usually are.
who start newspapers in these days, he
would never once have had cause to.
be anxious. But he was spending his.
own money, and for a time it disap-
peared like the material in Chatmoss
during the railway-making,. and With
as little apparent result. The time,
came however, when '.foothold'r was
secured. and eventually Ingram stood
upon the new-made ground, master Of
the situation.-Joseph Hdtson. IN CHI

She started at the sound of This voice;
her eyes had a dazed expression; her
face was the picture of perplexity.
"Oh, Nic!' she cried, ''what does
this mean? The last l remember l was
standing before the glass in my room,
and now l am here. l do not UNDER
stand"
A thought flashed across him, and
he said, grayely:
That unseen influence which watch.
es over us has brought you here. And
now that you are here. Nell, what have
you to say?"
A moments pause, her eyes again
stared vacantly into space, and, kneel-
ing at his side, she said:
81 have repented. Forgive me as
you hope for forgiveness
81 forgive you, Nell, freely-freely
free" His voice was lost in a fit
of choking, and an internal hem
orrhage covered his breast with his
life blood. He threw one arm about
her neck, convulsively, and drew her
toward him.
Come. Nell, let us go where we
may be happy together, away from the
world" he murmured.
"Whithersoeyer thou goest there
will ! go also"
Darlington, who had logged her
footsteps to the very door of the room
and had remained outside to watch
and listen, softly entered the room.
He surveyed them for some time, an
evil smile upon his still more evil coun-
tenance. Then. touching Eleanor upon
the shoulder, he said, with a sheer:
Come. my pretty one; it is nearly
midnight, and you are wasting time
idllng with a completed task. Your
lover is dead"
She did not move; she seemed not to
have heard him. He called her name
loudly and angrily, and, grasping her
shoulder, shook her roughly. This
elected no reply, and, in surprise and
wonder, he stepped to II side that
he might view her face.
He started back in horror, his face
livid, his eyes %protruding, his form
trembling like an aspen, and, as the

Shall, We Sleep with Open winaow.a

This question introduces a subject
upon which there is a diversity of
opinion, both among medical practi-
TONERS and individuals. ST have no
bad colds since 1 learned to sleep with
my window open," remarked a gentle
man in the Office of the medical and sur
gical reporter the other day. In reply,
the editor says that the only 'hard
colds" he ever suffered from were con-
tracted by sleeping in rooms to which
the night air had free access. The edi-
tor adds that it is we'll known that the
bodily temperature sinks slightly dur
ing sleep; the physiological functions
act with diminished activity; and hence
the resistance of the economy to morbi-
fic influences is proportionately lessen
ed. But tits also well known that at night
these influences are more potent and
noxious. The air is charged with great
er humidity; miasmetic and malarial
poisons rise to higher levels and extend
with greater rapidity; the chill of the
damp night air is penetrating and dan
gerous the %emanations from organic de-
cay are more perceptible. Against these
the sleeper is less protected than in the
daytime. He has Invested himself of
his wooden external clothing to put on
cotton or linen, and lies between sheets
of the same material, between which, at
the tops and sides Of the bed, the air
gains ready access to his unprotected
surface. If he is restless, he renders
such access yet more easy. A greater
risk awaits him. A sudden fall intemper-
ature at night is no unusualoccurrence.
In summer a thunder gust, in win
ter a shift of the wind to the north, often
reduces the temperature ten to twenty
degrees. The sleeper is unaware of this.
He remains exposed to it with no further
protection than he found agreeable at
the higher temperature, until he awakes
chilled and stiff, perhaps with the seeds
of a serious illness already sown. These
are such positive and unavoidable risks
that we should counsel o delicate per-
son to be exceedingly cautious how he
ventured On the plan of open windows
at night, however much has been said
in its favor by popular hygienists.

Handsome Kantel Lambrsquins and Hat
Crownx.

A. handsome lambrequln which I am
making is of crimson velvet. For a
mantel two yards long take n yard Of
velvet and cut in two lengthwise; fold
one of these pieces in half and cut,
making two strips one-half yard long,
and another one yard in length. The
short pieces are tackled around the ends
of the shelf. then tack the longer strip
also. Pleat II end Of the long piece
and fasten it up to the shelf un-
der a handsome bow of ribbon.
This drapes the center strip quite
gracefully; place another bow of rib
bon at the other end of it and trim
all the lower edges with crescents and
~tassels. One of the smaller pieces
pant in kensington painting a spray of
pansies, and the other carnations; the
long strip has a large, graceful spray of
Virginia creeper. Hat crowns, so much
in vogue now are very easilymade. Take
ne.thlrd of a yard of satin, cut the
fiat piece from one corner, her divide
the remainder into two strips and pleat
around it(the material should be on the
bias). Ihave both painted and en-
broidered them. One, painted on gray
satin, was a wreath of pink, blue and
yellow daises, with the initial. in guilt.
l painted the same design on pale-blue
satin, and embroidered in chenille on
crimson and on dark blue. Another
one on pale-blue, was a spray Of peoples
and wheat. Apretty design for an old
gold lining is a wreath Of pansies.
