AMan Who Will Probably Figure
in Central Asia

Meshed Letter IN the London Daily News.
The principal performer inthese Rus
sian advances, more particularly on
the Murghab, is Colonel Alikhanoff,
now governor of Merv. He is a man
of some reputation, at least he is well
known in the Caucasus, and in the
Transcaspian district. He is likely to
be heard of in connection with future
events in Central Asia. The name he
bears is Mohammedan but Russianized
it is Ali Kahn. General report sayshe
belongs to Daghestan, which was
Schamyl's country in Circassia, and
that his parents were Mohammedans.
AT Tiflis he received his educa-
tion, where he entered the army.
Some time ago, from being in
volved in q quarrel, which either
ended in q duelAnr would have
led to an event of that sort, hewasr re-
duced in rank. After the taking Of
Geek. Teppe he, with n or two Off
GERS in disguise as traders, visited
Merv, and shortly after he had COM
mand of the troops which occupied
that place, for it was taken without
fighting. This service brought Alik-
hanoff back into favor and his former
rank was restored. He was made
Governor to Merry, and it's from that
point that he has been so activelately
among the Turcomans on the Murg-
hab. He has shown himself to be
bold, daring and iEdefatigable. Alik-
hanoff is the fitting man to keepa fer
ment, and has already proved
his capacity in this line of action.
When Sir Peter Lumsden visited
Sarakhs in November Alikhanoff
crossed from the Russian side, and
rode through the skirts Of the camp
of the English commission. This was
done in a very defiant style. A man
carried a white standard before him,
such as is borne before chiefs and per-
sons Of rank and position, and an es-
cort of Merry Tekkes followed. In do-
ing this he had passed from Russian
to Persian soil, but he knew that no
one could or would object, and that
the piece of bravado could DO done
with impunity. 1t has to be recorded
that he did not return to the Russian
camp quite in SO grand and dignified
a style ais he came, for his horse Stun
bled, throwing the rider, whose lower
garment got torn and in such q man
ner THAI his appearances was not pre-
sentable, and IN this condition, he had
to beat a hurried retreat.

Through London by Canal.

Benz, Ellis Martins in Harper's Magazine.
When a certain famous financier from
San Francisco visited London a few
years ago he was called on the morn
ing after his arrival yhis EngIishcor-
respondent who, finding him character
istically anxious TO plunge at once IN
to the business for which he had come,
proposed to start for the city" s'The

many days in this way, that he may
enjoy a long season of fresh vegetables
and fruits. Then the cvltivator and

at work, and little handwriting is
necessary. 1t is a pleasure to care for
the garden, forthe return is SO bountifu.
Thefarmer's wife thinks q pleasant wal
for a basket of vegetables preferable
to q backache from weed-pulling.
Strawberries, raspberries, asparagus,
celery, alltheb best fruits and vegetables
supply the farmers table through the
season, and many a dollars worth
finds it's way to market in the farm
wagon. This farmer loves his garden,
and he knows it pays,-pays in a
double sense, for he says that his care
of the small things of a garden has
taught him the principle that under
lies his success in generalfarm manage
ment, thoroughness and
attention to detail, doing the right
thing at the right time, and keeping
ahead OF his work. So he says with
emphasis, "a good garden is the best
thing on a farm Andhe is right.

Rich Soil for Early Tomatoes.

Ihavemade tomato culture a study
for several years, especially seeking
earliness and quality-testing all new
varieties and cultivating according to
my best judgment. Most growers agree
that planting on poor warm soil pro-
NOTES earliness, but my experience ia
vors the idea that the richer the soil,
if it be warm, the earlier hefruit. My
theory is: rich soil rushes the growth
and causes an immense foliage, but If
properly pruned the force and vigor OF
the plant will be thrown to the fruit,
bringing it to earlier maturity. To
satisfy myself o medium soil was Sc
lected, five rows marked off four feet
apart, a large shovelful of composted
manure put three feet apart in the
rows and thoroughly mixed with the
soil, and the plants set. Cultivation
was in the best II to give a fair
test. Two weeks after Elephants were
set two rows were heavily top-dressed
with hen n and this thoroughly
mixed with the soil. The fruit from
the two rows thus top-dressed was
much larger and better shaped than
that of the three rows not ~top-dressed
and gave ripe specimens four days
earlier.-Thos. ID. Baird. Greenville,
XIV.

the circulation andcauses the death OF
the tissue. An effective caustic is nit
ric acid, either in it's ordinary form OF
a liquid or in combination as nitrate
OF silver, or lunar caustic in solution
IN water.
Retention of afterbirth is due to q
strong adherence of thepoints ofunion
called "cotyledons," which attach the
fetal membranes to the uterus and
support them in it.. When these do
not give way as they should do, from
whatever cause, the best way is to
wait no longer than three hours, then
oil the hand and arm and insert them
with the fingers close together, thenails
being pared close and gently loosenthe
attachments, when the weight of the
already extruded part will bring away
the rest. Sometimes an infusion OF
two ounces of savin leaves with n
ounce of carbonate ofpotash will have
the desired effect.
When a COW chews her food and
then drops it, and ut the same time
has difficulty in drinking, it indicates
cerebro spinal meningitis or disease
of the covering membranes 1.-THE base
of the brain and the adjoining spinal
cord. This may be caused by bad con-
dition of the blood from several caus-
es-poor food, bad lodging, damp un-
ventilated stable among others. The
remedy is to give a quart OF linseed
oil if it can be swallowed; if not, by in
lection, and to apply camphorated
liniment to the neck and the spine. 1t
is wholly a W disorder.

seedPeas.

Mr.. James Dougall, of The New-York
Witness, makes an interesting state
ment and suggestion concerning Seed
Peas:
"By a mistake, nearly all the earli-
est part of the crop was gathered for
family use before we noticed it, and
fearing that the rest might 60 the
same way, we pulled upthe vines when
the pods were quite green and hung
them UP TO dry. The peas had then
attained about their full size, but
when shelled out were quite green In
color though shriveled. This spring
when about to sow them, we found the
color still green, but the peas were
shrivelled and shrunk up to less than
half their size; the pea when at matur-
ity is a smooth, white pea. Thinking
that many might not grow they were
sown rather thickly; but every pea
started, and they have grown very
fast and strong, and are taller and
better than some fnlly-ripened peas of
the same variety sown at the same
time. Might not this method, if fol-
lowed out, prove destructive to the
pea-bug? Had these peas contained
any bugs the sllrinkage would have
crushed the life out them"

THE FARM AND FIRESTDE.
arm MISCELLANY.

DIR. II M. Hexamcp suggests good
way ''Torenovate old garden ground"
by seeding alternate parts to clovero or
some other green manure crops; or to
grass for a few years. Thus "the soil
becomes sufficiently supplied with veg
etable matter, the most frequent de-
sideratum in old gardens" Another
advantage is, this system favors con-
centration of fertilizer and tillage upon
a smaller surface, rather than spread
ing too thinly over ali, and the result
Is as large q crop as would be secured
from twice as much land inadequately
fed and cultivated.
The great problem ofprofitablefarm-
ing consists in making the soil increas-
ingly fertile. He who builds up abank
account at the expense of the fertility
of his soil is not to be considered a
wise husbandman or successful farmer.
There is no better safe deposit for
farm products than reinvesting them
in the farm itself. Not only isit asafe
deposit, but any investment made In
this direction is certain to yield apay-
ing dividend annually.
According to the rules governing the
registration of pedigrees in the Ameri-
can Short-horn Herd Bookno animals
are eligible to entry therein unless
their lineage can be traced, in all cross
es, to imported ancestry, or to ami
mails previously recorded. This rule
seems to be based upon the idea that
no number of crosses Of pure blood
will avail to produce a uniform type
where the foundation is an unregister-
ed native COW. The rulegoverning the
publication of the British Short-horn
Herd Book is more liberal, allowing
the entry of all Short-horn bulls,
whose pedigrees show FIVE consecutive
crosses of recorded bulls, and of all
COWS having four such crosses.-Sand-
ers.
On the danger of the cattle plague
Hon. Jas. Wilson says: at is some
time since practical men begun to speak
of this danger. The disease was then
located on the Atlantic seaboard.
Now it is a next door neighbor. Mis-
souri, cannot ship east or west. She
can drive into Iowa and who can tell.
One drove will pollute Iowa. Thegov-
ernor has done all for us he can. 1t is
high time we did something for our
selves. If the disease should be dis
covered soon in Iowa and investiga-
ton show that traders have contain
mated several counties as they did in
the states that are suffering, and it Is
further found that to stamp out the
disease will require a large sum OF
money, are we any betterprepared for
such an emergency than the other
states that look helplessly on while
the disease spreads2

veterinary Matters.

A cough in any animal indicates dis
ease of the lungs; although it may be
produced by Indigestion. In the latter
ease it is accompanied by roughness
of the hide and an i'll condition, with
dullness of the eyes. In oil lung dis
orders the eyes are bright and CLASSY,
the muzzle hot, the los discharges,
and the breathing is short and hurried
and sometimes painful for the motion
of the inflamed or sore lungs. The re-
quired treatment varies SO much that
only the advise and counsel of a vet
Urinary surgeon can be ofany value.
Careless feeding is the frequent cause
of inherited disease. One OF the com
monest complaints in dairy cattle is
tumors on the jaw bones. This is
scrofulous in it's character and is GER
tainly hereditary. Al bull diseased in
this way will produce diseased calves,
and a COW will do the same. / know
a case of a Jersey herd in which every
calf of a buii, which was killed on ac-
count CO this disease, developed the
same fatal disorder, sooner or later.
The preventive is apparent; not one
case in a hundred is curable.-Argus-
Idle.
Bad feet are inherited, and no mar
having them should be used for breed
ing. Bad shoeing may cause fever in
the feet, and this will produce dry and
brittle hoofs. The treatment is to
keep the hoofs moist, to wash them
night and morning, and dress them
with clycerine and water mixed in
equal parts after washing and without
dryingthem. T~hegreatest care should
be exercised in shoeing and in driving
the nails, andthe hoof should never be
rasped OF burned with a hot iron.
Parasitic worms in the intestines
are best treated with small repeated
doses Of turpentine mixed with six
times it's bulk of linseed oil. The tur-
pentine may be given in doses OF one
teaspoonful to a lamb, four times as
much to q calf and one ounce to afull-
grown animal. Turpentine is also eff
fective as a remedy for worms in the
lungs or throat which cause the dry,
husky cough in calves andlambs, com
monty called husk or hoose, and, in
deed, it is useful in all cases of intesti-
nal parasites, including tapeworms.
Warts are d disease Of the skin con-
sisting Of q growth OF cell tissue, which
is provided with blood vessels and
nerves. It partakes something Of the
character OF q cancer, excepting that
the tissues are not consumed and dis
organized, but accumulate and form q
tumor. The only cure Is to remove
the wart by cutting it out or by de-
stroying the Tissues by means OF aus
tics, or by a tight ligature which stops

lies where waste can be- nj afforded, IL
is also true that, in eight cases out Of
ten, this ~relegation Of cold bits to the
offal pail or ash barrel isnot caused so
much by Extravaganza as by the lack
of knowledge Of how to dispose o fthem
in any other way. The dainty utili
cation ot scraps is a subject that well
repays the thoughtful study of any
housewife, and even the least original
cook can often "evolve from her inner
consciousness an appetizing dish from
ldfragmentst that at first sightappear
utterly unpromising. In this matter,
however, the mistress must generally
depend upon her own brains. Few
hirelings have the keen interest in their
employers welfare that would urge
them to save a couple of pennies here
and five or six there. Fewer still, with
the best intention in the world, know
how to do it or appreciate that it is
in the minor economies that true saw
ing consists. What difference does it
make if those scraps of cold bacon
left from breakfast are summariiy dis
posed of in the swill barrel, or if that
bit ofcorned beef-too smallt to appear
upon the table again-is bestowed
upon the first basket beggar who
presents himself? And if these escape
that fate from the extra conscientious-
ness of the h~ousekeeper, they are too
| often converted into the Ubiquitous
hash. Hear how one careful house
wife disposed ofsimilar remnants: To
the corned beef and bacon, minced
fine, she added half as much cold
mashed potato, one raw egg, a little
| chopped onion and parsley, and with
| croauettes made of these, rolled in
| -four and fried in nice dripping, pro-
vided an appetizing dish that was
! quite sufficient, when accompanied by
stewed potatoes and bread and
butter, to make a lunch for three
people. Another dainty dish, which
appeared upor a friends Gable,
was formed from even less promising
materials. Her dinner the day be-
fore had been a stuffed chicken boiled
with rice. Examination ofthe pantry
revealed the carcass OF the fowl, with
one leg attached to it, and a couple OF
spoonfuls of the cold rice. Nothing
daunted, however, the valiant house
keeper advanced to the charge, and,
with the aid of a small, sharp knife,
removed more meat from the bones
than one would at first have believed
possible. This was cut-not chopped
lin small pieces, andse aside with the
rice and half of the dressing, and a lit
tie minced onion we're put overthe fire
in two cups of cold water. When a
slow, steady simmer OF a couple OF
hours had reduced this one-half, it was
cooled, strained, SKINNED, and slight
" thickened with brown -four, thenre-
turned to the fire with heterogeneous of
meat, rice, ETC., brought to a boil,
poured over crustless squares of fried
bread laid in a hot platter, and gar
nished with parsley. The origin no one
would have suspected. Christine Ter

Cultivation Of Tact.

From the st. Louis Magazine.
While genius dwells aloof from all
LIES lurking cares, and talent sits
apart, not deigning to soil its white
hands with labor, tact mingles with
society in all ranks, giving blessing and
happiness. She smooths the frowning
brow of neglected genius, restores the
rufied dignity of snubbed talent, and
gives ease to each embarrassed mortal
who look to herfor help She it is who
sits TRANQUILITY as hostess, though soup
is spilled and chinafalls. Shelf is who
turns with smiling lips upon the poor
unfortunate who steps upon her silken
train, and whose merry laugh browns
the sound dripping gathers orrending
fabric.
She it is who rushes to your rescue
Just as the imprudent word is said or
the untimely jesti is told. She it swho
changes the conversation at the
critical moment, who pours oil upon
the waters before they are troubled,
who brings bashful youth out of their
salf-consciousness, and gives ease and
grace to h eawkward and constrained
guest.
Cultivate tact. Depend upon it, in
winninghe % you will amply berepaidfor
any labor she may costyou. And yet
/ do not know ifshe can be cultivated.
/ sometimes think her a divine gift,
and no more to be had by wishing or
asking than genius and talent.
