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
fail 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 ih advance
how long it will continue to shine. He
can now grow more grass and fewer
frogs, keep more sheep and have fewer
dogs.-San Francisco Chronicle.

tongue indicates disordered digestion
or overloaded prime via; brown dry
tongue indicates depressed vitality. as

bility, as from exhausting discharges;
. red dry tongue indicates pyrexis, or
anyinfiammatory fever; a strawberry"
tongue with prominent papille indi-
Gates scarlet fever or rotheln; q red
glazed tongue indicates debility, with
want of assimilative power of digestion:
Q tremulous, fabby tongue indicates
delirium tremens; hesitancy in pro-
truding the tongue indicates concus-
sion of the brain; protrusion at one
side indicates paralysis of the muscles
of that side.-Seientifc american.

How It May be Speedily Relieved II

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,
Or 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 a 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. 1t 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 drachm doses. If You have
not the chloride of lime give a tea
spoonful of pulverized charcoal in half
a pint of sweetened milk or water, ev-
ery fifteen minutes, until relief is At
forded. If these remedies fail, lose no
time in getting a veterinarian to punct-
ure the stomach with trochar. If
veterinarian can not be had in time try
puncturing the stomach yourself, as the
animal will die unless relieved. Use a
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, 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 stimulating draught-say
an ounce of powdered ginger and a tea
spoonful of strong ammonia water in q
bottle of tepid water.-American Agr7-

wife to arrive here shortly from her Ken
lucky home. The story of Stones mar
riage is a strange and interesting one and
proves again that there are as in
teresting incidents in real life as
are told in story books. Stone
was a Confederate soldier, and at battle
in Cynthiana, KY, was badly wounded.
IS he fell his hat went one way and his
rausket another. and he found himself una
be to move or regain either. 1t was a
searching summer day, and he was obliged
to lie on that hot hillside exposed to the
intense heat of the blazing sun,
except by throwing his arm
across his eyes. 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-
BILE. 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 sutferings 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 We're gathered from
the field it was found 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 deiicacies 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
itors the young lady who had probably
saved his life by her kindness when he lay
helpless and speechless on the battle field.
When opportunity offered he spoke to her
of the occurrence and thanked her for her
kindness. The acquaintance thus begun
ripened into love, and she is ROW his wife
