For years we contended through
the columns of a live stock paper
that farming could not possibly be
made to pay in western Kansas, and
We believed every word we said, but
the granger continued to come to
that country, he filed on the govern
ment land, he plowed, sowed, and
much TO our surprise, reaped boun-
uful crops. We are free to confess
that it was only after rich harvests
year after year that it finally dawn
ed on our minds that there had been
IA great change in the country,
brought about by the cultivation of
the soil, and now we believe that
this section of the country, where ii
is supposed irrigation is indispensi
BILE, will as soon as the land is plow
ed and cultivated have sufficient
rainfall to grow crops without irri-
CATION. Such has been the history
Of the country from the Missouri
river west, and there is no reason
why the rain belt should come to a
halt at the Colorado line.

benefit to the firm. Mr. Osborn is a

How Not to Do It.

An observing correspondent of the
New England Homestead gives the
following graphic sketch OF quite too
common way of soaring for" chicks:
Not long ago l was at a house where
they were trying to raise q good many
chickens. [ heard chickens crying and
peeping for hours. Finally the woman
said she must feed the chickens. So
she took a pan of meal, wet up and
carried it out. The little half-starved
creatures swarmed around her by
scores. She threw the feed on the
ground among the weeds and chips,
and such q scrambling for something
to eat! They ran over and under, and
almost through each other. The
smartest ones soon gorged themselves,
and went off and stood up by the sides
of the fence and shivered, while the lit:
tie ones picked UP what was left and
cried for more.

Beds and Harnnncka.

Beds are occupied night after night,
year after year, by divers persons in
sickness and in health, in summer
heat and winters cold, and as to when
bedding is remade and purified each
one can Judge by his own experience.
Compare this with the use of the
South American hammock, which only
requires stout blanket inside, and in
winter a wooden sleeping dress as well,
of suitable make, /. e., drawers, socks
and a loose jacket, all periodically
washable. The sanitary difference be-
comes at once startling to those who
have never considered the subject be-
fore. The South American hammock
is made of the flores Of the young
leaves Of the TIA palm (MauritiO
fexuOse), so woven that it yields to
every movement and projection of the
body in every direction, except length
wise, in which direction the weight of
the body establishes it's own support,
the same as in chairs with the loose
canvas backs. Hammocks are very
easy to get into and out of, and one can
not fall out of them when asleep. They
should be swung the same distance
from the ground as the seat Of chair.
They form an excellent seat. Sitting
down, one draws the back of the ham
mock up as high as one may desire.
The proper way to get into a ham
mock-for there is a proper way-is
first to sit down on it, and then throw
the legs up and the back down, wrap
ping yourself up in it's soft, elastic and
ample folds. The best way to lie is
crosswise. The position can bevaried
in three or four ways. The writer has
passed several nights in such a ham
mock and blanket, exposed to the
damps OF q South American forest,
and risen perhaps more refreshed than
if he had slept in bed. For bedrid-
den people their use would be invalua-
BILE. Those who have been confined to
bed or water-bed for three or four
months know how fatiguing and dis
gusting they become. In many cases
in hospitals such hammocks would be
real sanitary appliances. The ham
mock [ have comes from the Essequibo
Indians in British Guiana. I do not
know why similar mode of open
weaving (more like knitting without
the knots) of some material having
the mellow feeling Of the rush used in
rush-bottomed chairs could not be
managed in this country.-London

Health Rules for the Aged.

In dicussing the causes OF premature
old age in mature life, that eminent
authority, DR.. B. w. Richardson,
points out that indulgence in excessive
emotion, passion or bad habits antic-
ipates age. Grief, vain regrets over
what "might have been," hatred, ZEAL
ousy, intemperance, unchastity, all
have this effect, and those who wish
to prolong their lives to q ''green old
age" in reasonable health and vigor,
should avoid them with the utmost
care. But when, as it must, old age
hasreally come, it's march toward final
decay may be delayed, and the way
made smoother, by attention to those
rules of conservation by which life is
sustained with the least friction and
waste. The prime rules for this pur-
pose, DR.. Richardson suggests, are:
To subsist on light but nutritious
diet, with milk as the standard food,
but varied according to season.
To take food in moderate quantity,
four times in the day, including light
meal before going to bed.
To clothe warmly but lightly, SO
that the body may, in all seasons,
maintain its equal temperature.
To keep the body in fair exercise
and the mind active and cheerful.
To maintain an interest in what is
going on in the world, and to take part
in reasonable labors and pleasures, as
though old age were not present.
To take plenty of sleep during sleep
ing hours. Tospend nine hours in bed
at the least, and to take care during
cold weather that the temperature O
the bedroom is maintained at go f.
To avoid passion, excitement, lux
ury.

than field corn to be sold by the

than field corn to be sold by the

With proper appliances for evapo-
rating, there is money to be made by
farmers in growing sweet corn and
preserving it for winter use. There is
always a good demand, or if this is
lacking at first, q little left at stores
to be sold or given away on trial will
soon create a call for more. We do
not use enough variety in vegetables
for the best living, and whatever in
duces people to supply their tables

Sickness on the Isthmus

DIR. Wolfred Nelson, who spent five
yearslas practicing physician at Pan
anna and was for some time member
of the board of health of that state,
arrived in New York from the isthmus
with a New York World reporter he
says:
DAT this present time yellow fever
exists in an almost epidemic form.
There were forty three deaths from the
disease in the city of Panama in the
month of March. In the city of Colon
Tor AspinwalD there were fifteen deaths
from yellow fever among the canal
men alone. The wet season is now on,
and there is much sickness all over the
isthmus owing to the dirty condition
of the canal camps, such as one would
expect where thousands Of laborers
have been herded together without the
slightest sanitary precaution.
I'm October, 1884, g. new cemetery
for the poor was opened in the city OF
Panama. Up to the 18th of April,
1886, 3,474 canal hospital patients
and poor of the town had been buried
there. Apart from these number OF
persons of the better classes are
buried in the boredas, or stone vaults
During the same interval hundreds
have been buried in the foreign, Jewish
and Chinese cemeteries. The death
rate has been suppressed as far as the
canal interests have been able to effect
it, and the most unblushing statements
have been made by canal papers re-
garding the death-rate. To show what
yellow fever has done on the isthmus
it is only necessary to cite the expert
ence of a party that landed with Julius
Dingler on the goth of October, 1883
The party consisted of thirty-three
newcomers. Within week Count de
Cuerno sickened and died from yellow
fever. His death was followed by that
of Mr.. Zimmerman. Later Mr.. Dinglel
lost his daughter, a charming girl
Within one month from the day OF hel
death his son, aged %, had been giver
up. In the following year he lost his
wife from yellow fever. Out of four
teen cases of yellow fever among that
party of thirty three thirteen died
Such is Panama, which De Lesseps
vainly attemps to paint as a tropica
garden of paradise. The filth in both
cities and along the canal is simply in
describable. The vilest sights and
odors constantly meet one. In the
city of Colon the saddest sights are to
be seen. Foreigners are allowed to lie
on the sidewalk, to be picked up dead
But few days ago the Evening Tele
gram, of Panama, referred at length tc
the fact that three men had been found
on single morning dead in thestreets
of Colon, and that many others were
utterly destitute, without food or any
care. The climate is and always has
been pestilentisl and death-dealing
Yellow fever has been endemic since
