" opposed to it in the beginning, and
although he said nothing against It
now she half feared he still held the
same views. So we plotted to keep
him away from the polls in this day.
Providence seemed to aid us, for the
baby was far from well, and so Elmina
said: at is too bad. Theodore, but YOU
will really be obliged to stay with the
poor little dear; you know she will have
nothing to do with a stranger, especial
ly when she is sick, or | would hire a
woman to stay, and we will try and
get home in time for you to go in be-
fore the polls close this evening"
The town was only half a mile dis
tant. We meant, however, to be IN
ayoidably delayed or pretend we had
been. My cousin said nothing, and
was really quite indignant to see .
Hopkins have so little spirit.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon
Elmina, who had been suffering all day
with headache, came to me and said:
II am obliged to go home; my head is
growing more painful" So Q
panied her. When we arrived there
she said to her husband: II am SO
sorry you can not go to town. but am
suffering with nervous headache and
can not attend to the baby; please keep
the children as quiet as possible and
Cousin Frances will get supper for
YOU" \
After he had left the room she said to
me: There, / am almost glad it has
turned out this way. for | tell you the
contest has been close today After
she was snugly in bed ! went to the
kitchen, and presently my cousin said;
81 am just obliged to attend to a few
chores outside, and can finish in half
an hour; if you can manage to keep the
baby quiet it will be q great help to
me; it does not matter if supper is late.
/ looked at the clock; yes. it was safe,
he would surely not try to 60 to town
now, it was half-past 5 o'clock. Just
after he went out | heard the clatter of
horses hoofs, but supposed it was q
neighbor passing. A little after 6
Theodore came in looking innocent
enough, and asked me If there had
been much Of a crowd in towEs or much
excitement over election. The next
morning Elmina insisted on gong in
to get the result. The first thing we
heard after arriving was a friend Of her
husbands saying: Theodore came
mighty neal losing his vote, tell you;
only had fifteen minutes to spare when
he got here. l could not see any use
of his going off home o a gallop after
coming in so fast" Elmina looked at
me in surprise, / at her in dismay.
Those chores were 70 ride swiftly to
town, cast bis ballot, and come home
again before we would miss him.
Elmina was defeated by a few votes,
and we both think to this day that
Theodore helped to swell the adverse
majority, although he never would tell
who he voted for. Elmina's expenses
for the campaign and election were
large, and her husband had to borrow
money and give q mortgage on his
property to secure it, but he never
uttered a single ~reproach, and 1 do not
think he begrudged the money. His
wife says she could not live through
another canvass with its excitements
and rivalry.

The Discoverer of Vaccination
Although Jenner was 49 years old
before he made vaccination known to
the world, chs Subject had attracted
his attention when only q youthful an
prentice to q country surgeon. He
was convinced that the current methods
Of treating the cow-pox and the small
pox were capable Of Improvement, and
he set himself to study the nature Of
the disease. But for many years after
his opinions were made known to the
medical faculty they were contempt
uonsly Secuted. He had first Of all to
prove, contrary to Ike prevalent be-
lief. that what was called cow-pox was
not . certain preventative Of small
pox. Then he had to trace out the ma
ture Of che difference in the diseases
to which COWS are subject, and to as
certain which Of them possessed the pro-
tective virtue against small pox. After
repeated failures he made the grand
discovery that il is ssonly in a certain
condition Of the pustule that the virus
u capable Of impa ng its protective
power to the human constitution. & 1t
was On the 18th Of May. 1896. that he
pat his theory 70 the test BY transfer
ring cow-pox BY incubation from ono
human being to another. II was two
years later, however, before his famous
Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of
THE Yarioln VaccinW' was published.

eredited with performing the first suc-
c~essful vaccination ii London. Other

DEAR SIR.-Thinking perhaps no
harm would be done by a few ideas on
trees give the following: In April
1885 ] prepared ga acres on. 10y tree
claim. For trees, plowed the ground
little deeper than it had been broke
en-, narrowed it thoroughly, laid off
rows eight or nine feet apart with
stirring plow throwing out good deep
burrows and planted in boxelder one
year cid trees, from fourteen to eigh-
teen inches apart. The dry weather
in the fore part of last summer, caused
few Of the trees to die; but the more
favorable weather afterwards brought
the live trees out in good shape. I
planted two rows Of corn between the
rows of trees. To try an experiment
ten or twelve shocks of the corn were
cut last fell and the remainder was left
standing, the snow drifted in among
stalks and trees near three feet deep,
except where the corn was cut. This
spring the ground between the rows Of
trees is ploMea and planted to corn as
last year, and J. shall leave all the
stalks standing this year as the trees
now show that it pays. Where the
corn was cut East fall the tops Of the
most of the; trees and few whole
trees are dead. Where the stalks were
left standing the trees are now lea6ng
out at the top. Yours, a
e @. MARSHALL.
The above communication is just
such as we went farmers to- write tor
information to others. 1t agrees with
onr experience with seeds. The ground
needs Something left on it 10 protect
the uendor spries from the trosr am
