Sleep as a Medicine.

4 physician says the cry for rest
has always been louder than the
cry for food. Not that il is more
important, but it is often harder to
obtain. The best rest comes from
sound sleep. OF two men or wO-
men otherwise equal, the one who
sleeps the better will be more
healthy and efficient. Sleep Will
do much to cure irritability of tenn
per, peevishness and Uneasiness.
1t will restore vigor to an OyerwOrk
ed brain. 1t will build up and make
strong a weak body. 1t will cure
headache. 1t will cure a broken
spirit. 1t will cure sorrow. In
deed, we must make a long list of
nervous and other maladies that
sleep will cure. The cure of sleep
lessness requires clean, good bed,
sufficient exercised to promote
WEAKNESS, pleasant occupation,
good air, and not too warm a room;
a clear conscience and an avoidance
of stimulants and narcotics. For
those who are overworked, haggard,
nervous, who pass sleepless nights,
we commend the adoption of such
habits as will secure sleep.

Excitement i'm Texas.

Great excitement has been caus
ed in the vicinity Of Paris, Texas
by the remarkable recovery of Mr.
j. f.. Corley, who was so helpless
he could not turn in bed, or raise
his head everybody SAID he was
dying of Consumption. A trial
bottle of DIR. Kings New Discovery
was sent him. Finding relief, he
he brought a large bottle and a box
of DR.. Kings New Life Pills; by
the time he had taken two boxes
of the Discovery, he was we'll and
had gained in flesh thirty-six
pounds.

No time Of the farmer is more
proftably spent than that which
he spends in close observation
among his growing crops. by
frequent and careful examinations,
he not only learns the progress OF
crops uncer different conditions,
but he also discovers, at an early
period, the presence Of an old or a
new enemy. Many crops have been
nearly ruined because Of a neglect
to watch the coming Of an enemy,
and many a field has been overrun
by weeds because tho owner has
neglected to keep over it a watch
full eye; many crops have been
greatly reduced in value because
for the want of observation 1t has
been permitted to Overripen. In
fact, in whatever stage Of growth
a crop may be in, it demands a
constant watchiulluess, and the
closer the observation the greater
will be tine power to prevent a fail
uTe and ensure success.

and a half to four feet apart, and
in these burrows, apply TWO to fOur
hundred pounds Of ammoniated

per acre. If homemade manure is
used, be sure that it is old and

FEEDlGG VALUE Of STRAW.

In grain growing sections straw
is generally too plenty to be used
up in any other way than as bed
ding. This use Of it involves con-
siderable loss, as the feeding value
is distinct from that of manure. by
passing straw through stock we
get both items of value. What it
contains of carbOnaceOuS matter
will 90 to form fat and sustain life,
while its small proportion OF nitro
genOus material and phosphate of
potash will mainly 90 to the man
ure heap. OF course, straw alone
is not rich enough to use as feed
for even store stock, but in those
days much more grain is fed even
to store animals than formerly, aud
with rich feed the use of straw as a
diviSOr becomes a necessity. Straw
and grain takes the place of more
expensive and less nutritious hay.
OF couree a large part of the straw
stack is still required for bedding
purposes, but it is only the portion
that has been Soiled or is left over
from the feeding ration. Even
tattening sheep Will pick out a
little of the straw thrown out TO
them fresh every morning, and
with sheep kept over at least half
the coarse feed may be straw until
time for Landing approaches, when
a diet more promotive OF milk pro
duction will be in Order.-CHitic0tor

'SQuirc's great coat repOsed pint

posed using on his way back from
seeing the widow Brown. Now
Just before he started Bob slipped
the ticker out and put in its place
a small clock. carefully wOnnd up
and set for II i. VI. The Squire
had sat the fire out and was well
on with his oyercoat, holding the
widows hand at the door and put
ting in his sweetest ticks for the
last. ayes, your first husband, my
dear, was one of my best friends,
and we'll visit his and my lost Han
nails graves, won't we, love-" "Ah,
yes for where was there n sweeter
woman than your poor Hannah I"
asked the widow. "a good wO-
man ; she was good enough, but
there's a living one just as sweet"
said the Squire, and he was draw
ing her to him for a kiss, when

Farm and Household.
HOW LONG SHOULD COWS 60 DRY

At q recent Illinois dairymen's
convention the following discussion
was had on this subject.
Mr.. johnson l buy COWS and
feed them-iOrce them in fact,
using them up as mixers in a year
or two, then fatten them up for
market. l letthem go dry as short
a time as possible. Mr.. HOstetter;
Cows should go dry six to eight
weeks. Mr.. johnson In the way
cows are usually kept, they should
be allowed rest. Mr.. Boyd Much
depends upon the COW. My best
cows are persistent mixers. |
have trouble in drying them off.
If not allowed rest, cows generally
prove poor mixers the year suOs
ceeding nearly a full year of milk
ing ; it seems to undermine the con-
stitutiOn. Mr.. Boyd added that
the calves of these persistent milk
ers are liable to be weak. Mr..
Dubois l keep my COWS as long
as they produce well, and hence
prefer to have them go dry six to
eight weeks. Mr.: | can get
as much milk in the life OF good
COW, by milking her nine months,
as longer. Mr.. Buell. My cows
will give milk right along up to
the time of calviDg. What must
[ dO-sell them and get others ? II
is not always the case a helfer
MIXED up to calving the second
time will remain a persistent milk
er not if, from accident, she goes
dry early in the season that she
will after be a short mixer; they
often regain natural period. \
calf from a "peristent' COW, and
looking just like the dam, will be
likely to inherit the quality. Mr..
Reed preferred six to eight weeks
rest for cows. Does not believe
ordinary cows will make money for
the farmer, counting in the dry
season, at sixty cents per 100
pounds for milk. Professor Henry
thought there was too much guess
work among the farmers in the
dairy business. They should know
more regarding cost of food, care,
etc. The statement was well sub
stantiated by the fact that no one
present seemed to give actual
figures of the last seasons results.

STATISTICS WOULDN'T LIE.

A young English statistlcian who
was paying court to a young lady,
thought to surprise her with his
immense eruditlon. Producing his
note book, she thought he was
about to indite a love sonnet, but
was slightly taken back by the fol-
lowing questions:
"Ilow many meals do YOU eat a
day e.
"Why, three, Of course; but of
all the oldest questions"
"Neyer mind, dear, I'll tell you
all about it in a moment"
IIiSpcncil was rapidly at work.
At last, fondly clasping he slender
wrist, he said
"Now, my darling, Tve got it, and
if You wish to know how much has
passed through that adorable little
mouth IN the last seventeen years,
] can give You the exact figures"
"Goodness gracious what can
you mean Z"
"Now Just listen" says he, Sand
you will hear exactly what you
have been obliged to absorb to
maintain those charms which are
to make the happiness of my life"
"But don't want to hear"
"Ah You are surprised, no doubt,
but statistics are wonderful things.
Just listen. You are now seven
teen years old, so that in fifteen
years you have absorbed oxen and

Eating and Drinking.

"There is a class OF people who
progress with "a meal something
after this fashion, writes Margaret
Sidney in Good housekeeping: "a
long draught Of coffee, tea, milk or
water, as the case may be, begins
the performances this is followed
bv a mouthful of something solid ;
only a mouthiul, however, for the
stream is turned on again down the
throat. \ glass of water diSap-
pears then the food is attacked
and vOraciOuSly again the stream.
Once more attention is given to
the food, but always the stream
has the first consideration. We
silently ask and wonder how long
the man can stand it. To say
nothing of the utter disregard OF
the laws OF health IN thus eating
and drinking simultaneously, it is
an absurd spectacle A tired,
Over.heated man drinks twice as
much water as he needs, first, be-
cause he is so tired he doesn't
know what he is doing till he sees
the bottom of the glass and
second, because his blood is at
boiling mark and the sudden chill
is delightful, and he would prolOng
it until his capacity to swallow
gives out. For the same reasons
he drinks rapidly, that the success
sion of chills may lower his tenn
perature as speedily as possible.
And then he goes out to his stable:

put up the past season 1000 tons
of ensilage, though living in the
very heart Of the blue grass region.
Mr.. Palmer has Just written letter
giving his experience in the use Of
ensilage, and it is altogether favor
able. He has been feeding it to
his cattle a mouth with the greatest
satisfaction. Mr.. Palmer prefers
corn for ensilage, for the reason
he gets from twenty to fifty tons Of
green food per acre, according to
the fertility of the soil, but he says
any green crop is fine, such as clOv-
er, rye, pess, &c. Nh. Palmer pre-
diets that sit will not be many
years before all who winter cattle
will put up ensilage." He is Of the
opinion that "the best food will be
obtained by letting the corn get
nearly ripe, as the ensilage is
sweeter.'
