which eafer can be chea .ly warm,d for
stock. l; Is understood that there is
not Il patent on il, and that i 50 cheap
OF construction and requiring so little
fuel TO run it, that it should De in uore
general use. It's kuoRa that the aver
age amount of water drank daily -
2 COW Or steer IS about 50 pounds.
To raise the temperature OF this amount
Of wafer il the ANIMAL from 81 degrees to
50 or 80, would require large amount of
food 10 contain carbon urCugh for that
purpose. We have not at hard tbs re-
suits of careful experiments 10 deter
mine Just what amount OF corn il would
take to produce he rcs8st named. Bat
the saving must be considerable, especial
~ 10 the mich cow, as she is very sus-
ceptible TO the influence OF cold, outward
or inward. With the machine named,
which has been so highly re-
commended by Mr.. Sherman and
also By Mr.. G abrlelson of this
stats, there can be no doubt about the
economy of svery stock raiser providing
in time for thorough trial . it this win

pied. But ii it should prove IS good as
recommended it will be not ONLY 4 large
saving of food, but very large increase
in milk, flesh and fat.
We ar8 not advised TO jQst what tenn
peratUre tits recommended TO raise the
water, but it is presumed that it should
be nearly the temp erature of the blood,
for wha ever 1t is below this it will have
to be led to that degree by food. S..
while warming is being done, it might as
we'll be brought 10 the temperature nature
requires, from 95 to 100 degrees. 1t is
stated that there is no difficulty in getting
cattlo to drink warm water. They soon
love it and refuse to drink cold
water. Those who have tried. tbs txperi-
ment, especially with the cheap machine
we have named, unanimously approve
and recommend if. Aud this is in the
right direction. It gives good pay fo-
more work. Aud, IS we have repeatedly
stated lately, the time OF more Intensive

Facts About Eggs.

All the world and his cosmopolitan
wife and family are new-laid eggs. Nor
do we depreciate their taste; on the con
trary we share it. The relish of eggs
is honorable. and to prefer them
fresh evinces deep appreciation of the
Fitness OF thing" Tradition runneth
not back to the time when eggs, in this
condition, were of evil repUIe, althOuEh
the use OF the stale variety as n missile
has never been popular with the reofpi-
ents. Probably the aatedI!uviaGs were
fond of eggs, tor We are given TO uuder-
stand that they Toasted high, and what
would banquet be without "the fruit Of
the hen!"
That the Egyptians were fond of eggs
is beyond peradventure, FOR one of our
snch biologists brought Eome With him
from Egypt some dCzsns, which had been
at least 5000 years III the oatacOmbs,
having been placed there for the accom-
mediation of the mummies in case they
should wake up and feel peckish. These
eggs cackled over by hens that fl punished
in the time of the sariy Pnaraohs-!gid,
probably before the children OF Israel
made their exodus by way of the Red
Sea-we have seen, and many of them are
as perfect externally as if they bad been
brought in market yesterday; but al
though Egyptian wheat of the same da.e
is said TO have terminated and reproduce
ed itself, We are not aware that any of
the eggs that ilk have been set upon and
hstcheG.
The Chinese are the greatest egg eat
ers in the word. They raise more poul-
try than all the other nations OF the
earth taken together, and have way of
keeping eggs for forty years o" more in
some condition. The older the eggs the
more valuabls they are, and it is a trick
of The Chinese grocer to ring in fresh
eggs on his costumers whenever he can
get chance to cheat them in that way.

Corn Smut

1t is disputed question whether corn
smut Is poisonous. 1t Is certain that
neither wheat nor corn smut is as danger
oJs as the ergot of rye, snd many of the
grasses. But it Is OF sufficient Geister-
ious matter to be worthy of attention
Just at this season of the year when all
hands are in the corn fields Science Is
making many valuable discoveries. I'm
til very recently 1t was not suspected
that ccrn smut was parasite, end that
1t wss perpe:uated by spores. 1t Is stated
by Henry Stewart that these jiv.Dg spores
are very minute: that they have rounded
bodies so small that IS coo of them
placed in line will measure an inch;
and that 625 COO GOO of them &C
cupy 8 surface one inch square. So one
of these smut balls on al ear If corr,
which too many suppose - g mass of
dead mStter, contains 81 thclspt nun Der
of living spores to seed thoroughly a
large corL field. These spores arc carried
about by the wind, after having laid on
the ground during the winter. aud until
the plant is again ready for its propaga
ton Of another crop. These spores are
not dependent on any peculiar kind Of
weather, as they appear 20 germiuate
equally as well in dry ss wst seasons
There Is pretty strong evidence that
corn smut, WHEN eaten by cattle. which
the! do readily, is Injurious When II is
taken into the stomach, being of sticky
mss, il clogs the nanifolds, creates
fever, and is claimed By some to be one
among many causes of i'm FACTION or dry

HypnOtiSm at Berlin.

At q late meeting of the Berlin Medical
Society, Professor VIrchow introduced a
French physician, DR.. Feldmann, who
made some experiments in hypuotism. 4
young man named Garrick offered him
self as medium. After q few seconds of
the usual manipulations the medium fell
into deep magnetic sleep. He became
perfectly apathetic and motionless. In
the state Of " uggestion" DR.. Feldmann
showed the influence of various medi-
cines or the medium, who took quinine
for sugar, smacking his lips with 10y
mepf, and he believed ammonia to be
perfume and smelt at it for some time.
Immediately atrerward, following the will
of the doctor, he showed the usual signs
of adherence of those bitter and caustic
subs iauces. With the same success ne
ale lemon for an apple. A piece of
cam phor held on his forehead had a sim
guar effect. The medium bent his body
far backward, and had 10 be held on his
chair. A magnet caused q dreamy state,
during which the medium related his i'm
pressions as to events in the street, IL
which he believed himself TO be. 1nec
the II ed!un obeyed the will of the doctor
Ia various ways, shoveliug sno~, skating
falling ard ri-iug again with one jump at
the doctors Suggestions, and finally took
pocket-bcOk by force ont Of Professor
Nirchow's pockets. He vas then ordered
by d.. Fslduanu 20 rezest himself and
sNor aEoke out OF the hypnotic sleep re
membering nothing of what happened.
Two your z physicians then spoke, de-
claring that such experiments vers with
cut scientific basis. They believed the
Suggestion 70 be probably genuine, but
as 70 the other experiments, especially
the effect of medicines ara the magnet,
they thong at they needed careful exam

NEST farmers have some little leisure

they can easily be cut with an ordinary

these pests. Another way in which the

Oh Tuesday, NoVemb Der Is, while Mrs
BeujaInin Meyer, OF Soadentou, Mout-
gomery county, was eating hearty sup
per she was taken with a sudden attack
of embolism and affection of the nervous
system, which providentially gave to her
she greatest boon she ever received, aud
tenn porarily restored her lost eyesight
The village doctor was Immediately sum
mored, aud the Frustrated old lady was
removed to her bed. Mrs. Meyer, VINO is
II years Old, had during the past four
years been totally blind.
Ga Saturday, November 10, after four
days of confinement 10 the bed, she
opened her eyes early in the morning. anu
suddenly exclaimed: "Mein Gott in Him
mel! | see! Her husband, whose age is
10 years, rushed to her, and was immedi-
ateIv recognized. The whole household
hasteued to the woman's bedside and be
held Il veriicatiou of her statement. She
also saw the dishes through the glass case
of q cubbard, which stood at the end of
the bed and then suddenly crying out aud
pointing in the direction of all old ann
chair, said:
Ca! See, there is n old arm chair and
it's headrest with flowers painted on il.
There 10 the picture of the German vii
lage scene, with its troop of laug hing
maidens and lovere!"
Mrs. Meyer then asked to see her chill
dren and grandchildren, twenty five in
number, and calling them By name to her
bedside, described infinitely the articles
and dress they wore. She then told them
that sac had prayed last Summer as her
last wish on errth to see her children and
grandchildren once more, and that she
believed this was the fuifilmenJ of her
prayer. Oa Sunday the people OF neigh
borhood swarTned TO Ms. Meyers house,
aud they were soon convinced of the truth
of the reported miracle. Before the day
had closed she ever and anon exclaimed:
This is the last Sunday that | shall
ever have the use of my eyesight."

of vision vas practically gone, and in has
remained so since. Mrs. Meyer and her
husband live in quaint Old farm house,
