Do not drink strong coffee Just before re-

take certain amount of exercise. Exercis-

Coarse brown paper soaked IN vinegar and
placed on the forehead Is good for sickhead-

allayed.
Never wash the feet in warm weather, ex-

crossed the plains 10 California in 1919. He
tried mining on Trinity River, but folio wed
hunting mainly for a living. In the winter
OF lS56-57 he made his first elk-horn chair,
and conceived the idea of presenting il To
President Buchanan. Peter Donahue favored
tiers TO Colonel Rynders, in New ork, and
in Washington he met Senator Gwin, Gen
eral Denver and others. DR.. Wotencroft
made the presentation speech, and Buchanan
was highly pleased. He wrote Rynders to
get Kinman the best gun he could find in

fine pistols. He also got an appointment to
corral the Indians on the Government reser-

The Cow Pea as a Fodder Crop.

American NgrlculturtSi.
The Cow Pea is one OF the most valuable
fodder plants for the South. We have seen
a crop of peas hich yielded four tons to the
acre OF most excellent fodder, and il left the
ground in the best condition for sowing
wheat. Another farmer SOwed peas among
his corn, at the last blowing, covering them
with the pillow, and we should estimate the
yield on The ground, of both cops at a ton
and half OF corn fodder, and forty bushels
OF peas, with the corn equal 10 thirty-fve or
forty bushels 20 the acre, and large guam
tity OF pea straw, which makes good feed
The common opinion that the South is not
stock country, i entirely uniOunded. With
the long growing season, the really rich, but
badly managed soil. and the great variety of
fodder crops and feeding stuffs, it is not at
all exaggerating the matter to say, that beef
cattle can be reared TO one Thousand pounds
weight in three years, at cost of one cent
per pound live weight, and in addition, there
IS large quantity of manure left, which IS
really invaluable to the Southern farmer.
