work to which in fact the colleges give
so little attention, and none in which

signs OF an awakening sense of their

some of them are beginning to do a little

Modern Farming.

The farmer of to-day can ride on the
sulky-plow. He can harrow, drill his
grain, plant his corn and be comforta-
bly, seated. His grain is cut and bound
by horsepower, threshed and cleaned
ready for market by steam, and no
longer is the thubbing sound of the old
flaif heard in our midst. He no longer
has to haul his grain by wagon-loads
over rough roads to distant markets.
for the railroads have brought markets
to his door. The wind which blows can
be used to pump water for his stock.
The mower cuts his grass, the tedder
scatters it, the .horse-rake gathers it,
the hay-loader puts it on the wagon
and the hay-fork, with railroad attach
ment. unloads it. He now can have
his telephone with the railroad station,
and he learns to make hay while the
sun shines. and may know in advance
how long it will continue to shine. He
can now grow more grass and fewer
frogs, keep more sheep and have fewer
dogs.-Son FSancisoo Chronicle.

the avenue on understanding lost a leg

lucky home. The story Of Stones mar
riage is strange and interesting one and
proves again that there are as in
teresting incidents in real life al
are told in story books. Stone
was Confederate soldier, and at a battle
In Cynthiana, KY, was badly wounded.
As he fell his hat went one way and his
musket another, and he found himself una
bic to move or regain either. 1t was a
scorching summer day, and he was obliged
to lie on that hot hillside exposed to the
intense heat of the blazing sun,
unable even to protect his face
except by throwing his arm
across hiseyes. His life-blood was rapid
ly running away, and he became weaker
and weaker, and soon was unable to speak
or move. The blazing sun which fell on
his head and face was adding untold suf-
fering, IN his enfeebled condition. After
the fight he was left with the dead and
dying, for it was supposed he could not
live more than few minutes or hours.
After the troops had withdrawn, some of
the people living in the vicinity Of the
battle field passed over it, relieving the
necessities of the wounded so far as possi-
bic. As they passed near where Stone lay
suffering in the hot sun, unable to speak, a
young lady in the party noticed him and
the sufferings the sun must produce IL he
were still conscious. Telling her COM
panions she believed he was still alive, she
procured the ramrods from four muskets
lying near by, and sticking them in the
ground near his head, fastened over
the top scarf from her
shoulders, to break the rays of the sun.
When the wounded were gathered from
the field it was foun1 that Stone was still
living, and he was sent to the hospital.
There was long struggle between life and
death, but he finally rallied and slowly re-
gained strength, after the amputation of
his right leg. The residents of the town
and vicinity did all they could for the suf-
ferers in the hospital, sending them food
and delicacies and often visiting them.
One day, after he had gained sufficient
strength to speak and notice those who
visited the hospital, he saw among the Wis
ftors the young lady who had probably
saved bis life by her kindness when he Law

HoovE in CATTLE.


How 1t May be Speedily Relieved II
Treated in Its First Stages.
Hoove is distention of the rumen.
or first stomach, by gas from undi-
gested food. This condition may arise
from weakness of the digestive organs
Or unusual indigestibility of the food,
DR. both. Prevention is better than
cure, and is accomplished by strength
ening the digestive organs and keeping
the animal from eating indigestible
food, especially that which will rapidly
ferment. Hoove rarely occurs at any
season other than spring, because the
causes which produce it rarely exist
at other seasons; and, therefore, it is
most important to take preventive
measures then. Cattle that have been
poorly fed and sheltered during the
winter require the most care, as they
are weakened, and also more apt to
gorge themselves with green food.
All cattle should be carefully fed, and
perhaps given some medicine, as, even
under the most favorable conditions,
the long course of winter feeding and
confinement reduces the vigor of the
digestive process. Make the change
from dry to green food gradually. The
first day do not leave the cattle on the
grass longer than an hour; and in
crease the time by half an hour each
day for week, when. they may
be allowed on the pasture all day.
But it is doubtful if cattle should ever
be allowed on pasture until the dew is off;
certainly not until late in the season,
and not even then on rank clover. The
moisture hastens fermentation and in
creases the danger. It is well to keep
hay where the cattle can nibble at it,
as they will when they come from the
best of pasture. Keep salt in a trough
in the pasture. Cattle will not eat too
much salt when it is kept before them.
If the disease is noticed in its early
stages, relief may usually be given by
administering chloride of lime. in from
two to four draclm doses. If you have
not the chloride of lime give tea
spoonful of pulverized charcoal in half
a pint of sweetened milk or water, ev-
cry fifteen minutes, until relief is af-
fOrded. 1t these remedies fail, lose no
time in getting a veterinarian to punct-
ure the stomach with trochar. If a
veterinarian can not be had in time try
puncturing the stomach yourself. as the
animal will die unless relieved. Use
sharp-pointed knife, and make the in
cision midway between the hips and
the last rib in the left flank, and about
three inches below the level of the top
of the back. Insert pipe stem, or
better, a goose-quill in the opening. to
prevent the food in the rumen getting
into the cavity of the abdomen and
causing Inflammation. Afterwards give
the animal a stimulating draught-say
an ounce of powdered ginger and a tea
spoonful of strong ammonia water in a
bottle Of tepid water.-American Agri-
culturist.

FEMALE LAWYERS.
List of the States In Which they Have Been
Admitted to Practice.

Admitted to Practice.
Damon Y. Kilgore, Esq, recently
wrote to Perry & Martin, attorneys-at-
law (ladies), inquiring as to the
number of ladies practicing law in the
United States. The Junior partner OF
the firm, Ellen S. Martin, in her reply,
said:
my investigation last year resulted
in finding forty-eight women who had
been admitted to the bar and engaged
in practice or some line of LAWYERS

cals-in the United States. l have
heard of others since; but as it was too
late for my purpose, have not followed
them up. There are many more women
who have studied and been admitted,
but they have not practiced.

also appeared as attorneys in several
of the local courts of Maryland, and
have been admitted to United States

until laws were passed, and the Legis-
latures promptly passed them.
