Ancient Urns of CLAY.

In June last an interesting archaeological
discovery was made at Sonderby en- the
West coast of Jutland. 1t consisted of
about thirty urns of clay found in mass
at depth of three feet. They occupied an
area four feet wide and ten feet long.
Formerly there was shallow lake here.
Most of the vessels rested upon rough
stones, but there was no trace of stone
walls or roof; they varied from two to
eight inches in height. In most of them
lay ashes and remnants of calcined bones,
while the bottom was Hne1 with some
reed-lil1e kind of grass. Some of the urns
had lids, but others appear TO have been
placed in the earth open. Most of them
were very simple in form, with smooth
sides, but on some of the larger there were
three knots at the sides, and attempts at
rough ornamentation. No metal or stone
implement was found. In the same moss
some hugh oak trunks were also dug OUT

Log Cabin erandmothers.


An Indiana doctor has recently discovered
in common weed whose medicinal qualities
have never before been suspected, a valu
able remedy for bowel disorders.
There is nothing particularly strange
about this fact.
Nothing.
And yet the very simplicity of the new
discovery would, with some, seem to throw
just doubt upon its power. To make it one
has only to pour hot water over the leaves
of the plant. In its preparation no vast
chemical works and appliances are re-
quired.
Is it to be wondered at since such plainly
prepared remedies are accounted as of such
| great merit in these days, that such
wonderful results attended our grand
mothers, whose teas and infusions of roots
and herbs and balsams, have exerted SO
| great an influence in the maintenance of
health and life!
Certainly not!
The greatest pieces of machinery strike
US most by their exceeding simplicity.
The secret of the success of grand
mothers remedies was their freshness and
simplicity. Every autumn found the little
Log Cabin abundantly supplied with fresh
leaves, roots, herbs and balsams, which
were carefully dried and prepared and laid
away for use. DreadIng to call doctor be-
cause of the expensiveness of his far-made
trips, they Immediately gave attention to
the disease and routed 1t before it had
gained a foothold
The old Log Cabin grandmother, in cap
and high tucked gown, and perchance be-
specialized in rough silver, her weary feet
encased in ''hum made" slips, is the dear
sweet nurse who rises to the view of many
man and woman to-day as the early years
of life pass in retrospect.
The secrets of grandmother's medicines
were rapidly being forgotten and the world
was not growing in the grace of good
health. To restore the lost art of log cabin
healing has been for years the desire of a
well-known philanthropist in whose ances-
trial line were eight ''goodly physicians" of
the old style, men who never saw medical
college save in the woods, nor ''1nedical
diploma except that inscribed on the faces
of healthy and long lived patients. Much
time and money was expended in securing
the old formula, which to-day are put forth
as 'tLog Cabin enthusiastically hops
and buchu, cough and consumption, and
several others, by Warner, whose name is
famous and standard for medical excel
lence all over the globe. These Oldest, new
est and best preparations have been recog-
nized as of such superexcellence that to-day
they can be found with all leading dealers.
When Col. Ethan Allen was making his
tory along our northern frontier during the
revolution, Col Seth Warner, the fighting
Sheridan of that army, who was sl1illful
natural doctor, used many such remedies,
notably like the Log Cabin extract, sarsa-
parilla and cough and consumption remedy,
among the soldiers with famous success.
They are noble inheritance which we of
to-day may enjoy to the full, as did our fore
fathers, and using, reap, as did they, the
harvest Of a life full Of days and full of use
fulness.

RURAL REAPiNGS.

NEVER allow dirt to accumulate on the
horse collars. Wash it off with lather OF
CASTLE soap, and when the leather is partly
dry rub in vaseline enough to keep the
collar soft and pliable.
THOUSANDS of COWS would do far
better than they do if they were fed
and housed as they should be, for what a
COW can do is born with her, but what she
| will do is for the farmer who handles the
oatmeal and bran dish to say.
AS THE grass disappears let the change
from green to dry food be as gradual as
possible, in order to prevent the COWS from
falling off in milk. To do this begin the use
of hay and other dry food now, so as to
supply the deficiency of the pasture.
A CALF born in fall or winter is worth two
born in the spring for profit. A spring calf
Is so young that it gets little good from
pasture the first season, for by the time it
can fight flies successfully and crop grass
enough to really aid in nourishing it, winter
is at hand, and it is placed on dry feed.
WHEN harvesting corn for the silo it is no
detriment to the feed to let it wilt thor
oughly before going into the silo, and some
even allow it to dry slightly. This, how
ever; is not necessary. But it should not
60 in wet The slow process is now conf
mended, allowing the ensilage to heat be-
tween filings. This process is called the
making of sweet ensilage. Sour ensilage
IS made by putting the entire contents into
the silo at once, and closing it against the
air.
LEAVES have high reputation as a mate
rial for the hot-bed and the compost heap,
and are worth the labor of gathering in
most cases for their fertilzing properties.
Cords of them are going to decay in the
sight of almost every rural home, and it is
the rare exception that they are utilized
Meanwhile the fields and garden are fam
ished for want of manure, or supplied with
concentrated fertilizers at forty dollars a
ton.
WHILE some have preserved corn fodder
uncut in pits or silos, the general eX-
perience is against it. Different expert
mentors have cut in different lengths, from
half an inch long to three. One object in cut
ting fine IS to make the most compact storage
possible 1t is now agreed that the filling
SHOULD lot all be done at once, and that a
fill O. from three to four feet at once is
enough, V nen time should be given for
heating, that the germs of ferment and
decay may be destroyed by the heat before
the silo is covered and deprived of air.
ATTENTION is call = to the following proc
ess for saving eggs, in Cdsseps magazine:
"On removing the eggs from the nest, they
are coated with butter in which two or three
per cent. of salicylic acid has been dissolved,
and then they are placed individually in
box filled with fine and absolutely dry saw
dust. Care must be taken that the eggs do
not touch each other, and that they arc COM
pletely enveloped in sawdust; and should
these precautions be strictly observed, they
VII keep fresh for several months, possibly
e than a year"

a VALUABLE CROP.
Why Rye Ranks High in More Respects
Than One


Than One.
! Rye is crop that can be made to
,ender more service to the farmer than
any other, yet it is more frequently
overlooked and discarded than it
should be. 1t is plant that not only
endures the cold of winter and the
heat of summer, but it will grow on
the richest soil or the poorest sandy
land. In some sections it is really the
clover of sandy soils, for without its
aid the advantages of green manuring
would be unavailable. Even the seed
is cheap, while the cultivation neces-
sary is very little compared with other
crops. As profitable grain crop it is
behind oats, wheat, barley and corn,
but the straw is more valuable than
that of any other crop, for which it is
sometimes grown alone.
Leaving out the value of rye as a
grain crop entirely, it still ranks high
in more ways than one. The fact that
it can be sown in the fall and made to
produce late supply of green food
after other grasses have ceased grow
ing, should prompt farmers to devote a
space to rye every season, but its USE
fulness extends further. The severe
cold of the hardest winters will not in
jure it, and early in the spring, long
before grass begins to grow, rye ap-
pears in its green condition to afford
supply of succulent heritage to the
stock at a time when it is most needed.
1t allows the stock the privilege of
eating off the early growth, and when
the grass appears and the rye is no
longer required, it will grow out again
and make crop of grain. 1t can then,
in early spring, if preferred by the
farmer, be plowed under instead of be-
ing allowed to seed, and it will pro-
vide an excellent manure for the corn
crop.
In one respect rye is a cheap crop
because it requires no land for its
growth, to a certain extent. That is,
if the seed is sown in the fall on land
intended for corn in the spring, and
the rye turned In before planting corn.
the rye simply holds the land that
would otherwise be unoccupied during
the winter. 1t is also excellent on the
land intended for potatoes, and, as it
assists in keeping down weeds, it saves
much labor in that respect.
As rye can be pastured at nearly all
stages of growth, and can be turned
under as a green manurial agent at any
time, the farmer who fails to SOW it
will deprive himself and his stock of
most valuable plant, and. as it can be
seeded down at any tins at this season.
the land for that purpose should be
prepared without delay. OF course it
thrives best on rich land, but even the
poorest soil should be sown to rye
rather than leave it unocoupied. al
