A Mechanical Cure for HiccOugh.

Procure a glass of water and pour
little of it down the patients throat.
While he is drinking the water he
should press finger on the orice of
each ear. BY this method you open
the CLOTHS. and in five seconds the thing
is done. Should you by any chance
meet with an obstinate case you may
rest assured that the throat and ears
were not closed at one and the same time;
either the water was swallowed before
the ears were thoroughly stopped or the
water was not sufficient to fill the throat.
Another precaution is to keep the chin
well up. This cure was obtained by
the writer from an old Indian medical
officer who had experimental for some
years to discover method of relieving
the terrible stage of hiccoughing in
yellow fever, and this cure was the out
come. pharmaceutical Journal.

A Miser Satisfied.

There lived not very many years ago
a short distance from the town of
Beaver man of extraordinary
meanness. / don't think it would
be unjust to say that he was a miser.
Most of you would enjoy the story
more if | gave you his name. But /
won't do it. One day as he was start
ing out for Beaver to do his weekly
shopping-for even he had to buy
something for the support of his fam
ily-his wife came out and asked him
to buy her darning-needle. " What's
the matter with the one / bought you
last winter" "The eyes broken out"
she replied. "Bring the needle here"
said be; Pm not going to allow any
such extravaganza. I'll lave the needle
mended." The woman was wise in
her generation and made no protest.
She brought out the broken needle.
The economical farmer rode into
Beaver, and stopped first of all at the
backsmith's shop. He took out the
needle and handed it to the blacksmith.
want that mended," he said. The
blacksmith knew his customer, and,
keeping his face perfectly straight. said
that the eye should be made whole in
an hours time. The farmer rode away
and the blacksmith walked across the
street and bought a new needle for a
cent or two. When the farmer called
again the blacksmith gave him the new
needle. The farmer looked at the
smooth, polished surface of the steel,
and remarked that it was good job.
GLOW much will it be?" said he.
"Ten cents" said the blacksmith; and
the farmer as he paid it remarked that
he knew that the needle could be

to the expense of buying a new one if

Agricultural Notes and Items.

STABLE MANURE is cheaper and more
reliable than any commercial fertilizer
yet offered to the public.
THE only way to find what our soils
want is to study them by careful OBJ
servation and experiments. Success
in farming, as in other business, re.
qures the use of brains.
LAY in good stock of sawdust for
littering the cattle-stables. II costs but
a trfe, while ii keeps the cows and the
steers clean and the premises sweet.
1t is an excellent deodorzer and should
be used the year through.
THE testimony of practical men con-
corning the great saving of ensilage as
food for dairy cows is overwhelming,
yet there are thousands of farmers who
will require few more years of val
liable time to be convinced.
LICE are apt to get on all cattle in
winter, even if well fed and well cared
for. 1t is fact, however, that the bet
ter the animals are fed the fatter they
are, and the more oily their hide, the
less they will be affected by the lice.
" FARMING is hard business"
Well, it is. But many hard business
has been made by brains and energy
into a grand success. The "know
how " is the thing, and to know how a
man must be willing to be a patient
learner.
IT is impossible to carry on both beef
production and dairying at the same
time and excel in both. One can not
get herd of cows that are superior in
both directions. One or the other must
get the preference, and it is pretty evil
| dent now which it would be.
FARMERS, if they want to make
money, must learn TO weigh, measure
and figure. The merchant or the manu-
facturer who went by guess would fail
almost before he got started. A farmer
is both manufacturer and merchant,
and a merchants rules of business pay
well on the farm.
IN England silage is given to sheep
by many farmers. They claim particu-
larly good results from feeding it to
ewes. both before and after landing
that the ewes do well, give plenty OF
milk and produce strong lambs, which
grow remarkably well. Some grain, as
bran or shorts, should be given with it.
GOOD judgment is of very great value
on the farm. Other things being equal
the men of sound judgment make the
money. But sound judgment can not
exist without sound knowledge. II
was the knowledge of solomon Che was
well posted, even on botany, according
to Scripture) which made his judgments
so famous.
THE successful farmer, even though
he may have some grave faults, must
sure have the elements of greatness
in his nature. 1t has been said that
some are born great and others have
greatness thrust upon them, while &
few achieve greatness. The great
farmer can be great only through his
achievements.
FREQUENTLY you may see lists giver
of the length of time that seeds retair
their vitality. These are only ar
approximation. Well-grown, fully-ri
pened seeds, kept in a warm, dry place
(and no place is dry that is not warm)
will be good very much longer thar
where these conditions are not care
fully observed.

venting total loss. The weather.
and better classes of farmers are already
extensively engaged in stock-raising
and the poorer farmers will get stock
as soon as they are able.
The great trouble with Kansas at the
present time is that ii belongs to some
body else. New England probably has
more money invested in Kansas than
the people who live there. The wealth
of the people there mainly represents
the rise in the price of land. Ordinary
farming does not pay. The farmer who
can make both ends meet and "hold
the fort is very fortunate. A gentle
man who has travelled extensively over
the state told us that during the past
year he had met in the central and
western part of the state hundreds Of
farmers from Ohio, Indiana and the
East who had left comfortable homes
in those states and moved to Kansas,
thinking to better their condition. The
failure of crops for two successive years
has reduced them to state of abject
poverty and they are too poor to leave the
state Real estate agents never mention
these facts. 1t is said that the average
Kansan has great recuperative powers,
and that after two good crops in sue
cession he will take his oath that he
can scarce remember the time when
crops were failure.
So far as we have observed, there is
but little inducement for Vermont farm
ers to emigrate to this state to better
their condition. Land in this part of
the state, outside of city limits, is worth
from $40 to $50 per acre, and unbroken
prairie inside the city limits is held at
prices varying from $500 to 81 900 per
acre. Topeka is a very pleasant city of
10000 inhabitants and doubtless has a
grand future before it. Topeka is an
Indian name and signifies "smal po-
tatoes." The Indians gave it this name
because a sort of wild potato was for
merly found on the river banks in that
vicinity. In territorial times, during the
controversy between Lawrence and
Topeka in regard to the state capital,
the former always referred to the latter
town as "small potatoes" The tide
of affairs soon turned and Topeka is
now far in advance of her former rival
Lecompton, about half way between
Lawrence and Topeka, was the scene
of many stirring events in territorial
days, but at present it is hardly more
! than a way station. These two towns
are the only ones between Topeka and
Kansas City which have any special
| interest to the traveller. A. NJ.

Notes BY the Way---NO. 1.
KANSAS.


The best part of Kansas is the east
ern section, extending one hundred
fifty or two hundred miles westward
from the Missouri river. Western Kan
sas is said to be practically unfit for ag-
riculture, owing to a lack of moisture
and TO hot winds. These winds also
often cause the destruction of crops in
the eastern part of the state. The soil
in this section of the state, especially the
river bottoms, is very rich in plant
growth and practically ineXhaustible.
In many places it has depth of from
ten to fifteen feet. The present year
has been plentiful one. Corn,
sorghum and wheat have yielded i'm
mense crops. The crops in the west of
the state are failure and the people are
suffering for want of food and clothes.
What are known as the hot winds
are greatly dreaded in Kansas. Corn
may look finely in the middle of July,
but, should the hot winds prevail for
two days, the crop would be entirely
ruined. The heat affects the ear and
tassel, literally drying them up and
stopping all future growth. A Kansas
gentleman told us that he had seen
thousands of acres of fine-lOoking corn,
from ten to fifteen feet high, without a
single ear on any of it. Where the
farmer has no stock such crop is en-
tirely worthless. AS the state grows
older, and farmers put less dependence
on corn for cash crop, the fodder from

How to Prove that the Earth Turns.

1t has puzzled the heads of good
many youngsters to know how the earth
turns round. A German educational
journal, published in Frankfort, gives
the followi g directions for proving that
the earth does move" "Take
good-sized bowl, fill it nearly full of
water and place it upon the floor of a
room which is not exposed to shaking
or Earring in the street. Sprinkle over
the surface of the water a coating of
locopodium powder-a white substance
which is sometimes used for the pur-
pose of the toilet, and which can be
obtained at almost any apothecary's.
Then upon the surface of this coat
ing make, with powdered charcoal, a
straight black line, say an inch or two
in length. Having make this little
black mark with the charcoal powder
on the surface of the bowl, lay down
upon the floor, close to the bowl, stick
or some other straight object, so that it
will be exactly parallel with the mark.
If the line happens to be parallel with
a crack in the floor, or witt any station
airy object in the room, this will serve
as well. Leave the bowl undisturbed
for few hours, and then observe the
position of the black mark with refer
ence to the object that it was parallel
with 1t will be found to have moved
about and to have moved from east to
west-that is to say, in the direction OPP
posite to that of the movement of the
earth on its axis. The earth, in simply
revolving, has carried the water and
everything else in the bowl around with
it, but the powder on the surface has
been left behind little. The line will
always be found TO have moved from
east to west, which is perfectly good
proof that everything else has moved
the other way"
