The Dyspeptic's Predicament.

The dyspOptic is indeed an object for
commiseration. Not only must he suffer
torments that rob him of portion of
his sanity, but it now appears that if he
would hold on to the remainder of that
article he must avoid books that treat of
diet and digestion. An authority comes
to the front with statement that there
are nearly 1000 works eXtant on the
above twin ubjects, and that the suffer
er has the desirable privilege of studying
the question until, twixt the disease and
the doubt engendercd by the differences
of opinion among the doctors, he be-
comes suitable subject for the lunatic
asylum. One will learnedly assert that
saliva does not enter into the process of
digestion and was never intended for
that purpose, while another, with equal
emphasis, will declare that digestion
could not get along without it. 1t would
be quite as well, perhaps, for the dys-
peptic to let the doctors and their theo-
ries severely alone and not bother his
head about their problems which may
result, at best, in problematic cures.
Nature and common sense are
the only reliable doctors for his case and
the sooner he calls in their aid, the
sooner will he recover the normal diges-
tive powers he has lost. Let him look
to his hours of retiring and rising, for
the chances are hundred to one that
there has been no regularity in these; or,
if there has, the regularity consisted in
going to bed at IL o'clock and getting
up at 10. Exercise, and plenty of it, in
the open air is important, because it will
enable him the better to adopt gener-
Gus diet, which he should do, though
little sparingly until his organs recuper-
ate and are able to cope with quantity.
And last but by no means least, let him
see to it that he has full employment for
both mind and body, for without it he
might find himself possessed of devil
even worse than the one of which he pro-
poses to rid himself.
The following table, showing the time
required for di6esting the various foods,
will probably have more interest for the
dyspeptic than he ever found, when
boy, in the multiplication table, espec-
tally if he should be on the eve of con-
templating "a generous diet"

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Cultivation of Corn,

In reports of experiments Tor 1888,
Professor Shelton, of the Kansas State
Agricultural college at Manhattan,
gave details of an experiment in subsoil-
ing corn ground. This trial seemed to
show that the subsoiling was in every
case partial injury. every subsoiling
plat giving lower yield of corn than
the average yield of plats which were
simply plowed to the ordinary depth of
six inches. The subsoiling feature of
this experiment were repeated last season
on different ground, upon which also the
practice of close and deep cultivation of
corn was compared with superficial Gull
tivation. The soil on which last seasons
experiments were tried is of strong clay
of moderate fertility. Following is, in
brief, Professor Skeletons report of these
more recent experiments.
In the subsoiling plats the subsoiler,
working to depth of four inches, fol-
lowed the stirring pillow, which cut six
and -a-half inch deep furrow; so that the
ground in the SUBSIDIZED plats was stirred
to the depth of ten and half inches.
Upon four other plats different meth
DDS of cultivating the growing corn
were employed These plats were cult
vated-the ordinary one horse cultivator
being used-four times, at intervals of
about ten days. At the first cultivation
all plats were lightly dressed out, the
cultivator passing twice in each row.
At the subsequent operations two of the
plats were cultivated quite specifically
and but once in a row; while in the
other two the cultivator was made to
pass twice in each row very close to the
rows of corn and to the depth of nearly
five inches. In these last mentioned
plats the ground was literally churned
by the cultivator, and at each operation
the implement brought to the surface
great quantities of white, fibrous root
lets torn from the corn plants.
The result of subsoiling agreed with
those of the year before, showing that
very deep tillage is not advantageous,
even upon strong clay lands, during ia
vorable seasons. In season of drought,
Prof. Shelton believes different results
from these might be expected.
The experiment appeared to show also
that the methods usually reckoned
injurious, as, for instance shallow plow-
ing and very deep and closed cultivation
of tall, well-grown corn, had no unfavor
able influence upon the crop. 1t seemed
to be sufficient in Kansas corntield of
ordinary productiveness that the ground
kept free from weeds, and if these con-
ditions be complied with, the soil and
season will do the rest.-Neo York World.

accompanied by unusual excitement, and

He Sues Two Railroad Companies for
Starving Animals In Transit.


Starving Animals In Transit.
On the 18th of Septombor, 1884. French
Whitecotton made o contract with tho
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
to transport forty-nino horses, valued at
5000 each, from Parkersburg, w. Va, to
this city, and permit him, at all reason
able times during transportation, to feed
and water them and to unload them from
time to time for rest and care. He states
that the contract was not carried out by
the company, and while the animals were
en- route here they were confined in the
cars without food or water and for five
hours after their arrival in this city,
making forty-three hours in all. In con-
sequence Of this confinement tho horses
were starved, became emaciated, and, by
reason of their hunger, tore and ate the
names and tails ofeach other, which greatly
disGgured them and injured their market
value. In consequence of this breach of
contract Mr.. Whitecotton, through his
attorneys, Messrs. J. G. Head and A. A.
Birney, yesterday entered suit against
the railroad company to recover 81 800
damages. 1t would seem that Mr.. White
cotton, according to his statement, did
not meet with much better treatment at
the hands of the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad Company. On the 9th of last
July that company received from the
Alexandria and fredericksburg road for
ty-four horses belonging to Mr.. White
cotton. He complains that while the
horses were in the company's possession
thoy were badly treated, neglected, and
not delivered to him in a reasonable time,
aud that his loss is $1,000 which amount
he has entered suit to recover.
