HOW WE CATCH COLD.
Mere Through the Nerves than
Through Draughts.

Gold is not the only factor in the pro-
duction Of catarrh. There is col
lateral cause, and most important one,
IN certain depressed conditions of the
nervous system, which is too little
known and appreciated. In healthy
conditions of the nervous system, pro
vlded reasonable precautions are taken
against cold, there is enough vitality in
the organism to resist its injurious in
huence. The nervous system is, in fact,
the guardian, controller, and prime re-
gulator of animal heat or body temper
ature, and its slightest failure to fulfil
its responsible duties-the least relaxa-
ton of It's constant igilance-renders
us liable to fall prey to cold.
The following supposititious cases
will afford an illustration: An individ-
ual, who habitually drives about in an
open conveyance with perfect freedom
from catarrh, happens on one occasion
to fall asleep when he is out, and the
very next day has cold. The explana-
ton of the phenomen is to be found in
the fact that during sleep nervous
energy is lowered and the system there
fore less able to withstand the injurious
effects of cold. If we assume that the
individual was also in state of intoxi-
cation at the time, the damage done by
cold would be more serious, as the de-
preston by alcohol is superadded to
that of sleep. 1t is therefore not sur
prising to find that inflammation of the
lungs is frequently contracted under
such circumstances. We instinctively
acknowledge the nervous depression
during sleep by taking the precaution
to throw q rug over the knees before our
forty winks on the dining room sofa.
A timid woman comes home one night
pale and CHASTITY with fright, having en-
countered spectre clad in white, which
she calls "ghost." In a day or two
abe develops a cold, for which she can
not in any way account. Fear acts as
. depressant to the nervous system, Grip
pling its powers of resisting the action
of cold ; hence the phrase, shivering
with fear. - Similarly, innumerable
events of daily life tend to irritate, de-
press, or excite the nerves, and render
them unfit for maintaining the body
temperature against the fluctuations of
weather and climate. During these I'M
guarded moments, triAing exposure to
cold or damp is sufficient to induce
catarrh. 1t is known that stout boots,
umbrellas, and wraps, though preserva-
tives in their way, are not by any means
the only precautionary measures to be
adopted; that we must endeavor to
strengthen the nervous system, if it be
defective, and that when we are COM
PEELED to expose ourselves to cold or wet
when the nerves are depressed from tenn
porary causes, such as fatigue, anxiety,
grief, dyspepsia, or i'll humor, we should
Be specially careful to guard against
cold. - Chambers Journal.

About Cotton.

The cotton crop being somewhat
backward this year, blowing may and
should be continued longer than usual.
As the main object of cultivation during
July was to encourage plant growth, OF
development Of weed, so the object IS
now to promote the growth and maturity
| OF the squares and young bolls. The
I plants are now, or should be, covered
with abundant foliage, and the process OF
assimilation of the sap and the develop
ment of the embryo fruit will go on ra-
pidly without much perceptible increase
in the size of the plants. The same vege-
tative functions, however, are IN full
force, being only partially diverted from
the formation of leaves and branches to
the perfection of the fruit, and the same
necessity exists, though in less degree,
for keeping the surface soil in an open
and porous condition. Cultivation should
now, as . rule, be limited to one furrow
of wide pillow or cultivator, run in each
middle. In spite of all efforts to cult
vate on a level, the stalks are now stand
ing on the comb more or less elevated
ridge or bed, and examination will show
that this bed is full of the rootlets of the
plants. 1t is not good practice to plunge
plow into the sides of the bed and tear
it away to the depth of three or four
inches, as will be the case where two
burrows are put in. 1t is best to run but
one furrow, right in the middle, having
the implement so set or adjusted that it
will cut to a uniform depth from side to
side of not greater than one inch. Deep
blowing must be avoided now if not
heretofore 1t will be better not to pillow
the crops any more than to tear and mu-
tilate the roots at this critical period. No
point has been more definitely settled, by
scientific experimentersa as well as profess
sional practical farmers, than that deep
blowing in the later stages of the growth
of any annual plant, is irretrievably ruin
Gus. 1t will inevitably cause the plant
to throw off the greater part of its forms
and young fruit and to start into vigor-
Gus but belated growth. Taking the
average of the middle line of the cotton
belt, it may be assumed that all forms or
squares that make their first appearance
after the middle of August win be too
late to mature into perfect bolls before a
killing frost occurs; therefore all further
increase in the size of the plants and the
number of new squares after that date
! involves useless waste of energy and
should not be encouraged. atlanta, Ga,

The Iron Rails.

A practical railroad engineer of extern
siye observation and experience writes
in answer to the question whether frost
weakens rails that, contrary to what is
commonly held in regard to this point,
q low temperature does not decrease the
strength of rails, though accidents are
more likely to occur from broken rails
in cold weather. The reason given for
this latter fact is that the ground, when
frozen sohd, is rigid, losing the elastici
ty which acts as a safeguard in fine
weather, and thus, when a train runs ON
such roadbed, something must yield,
and, as the rail is the weakest point, it
gives way. Extended experiments, says
this writer, have been made with testing
machines on steel and iron rails, the re-
suits Of which show that the cold does
not weaken the metal at all; the frost is
also likely to dimish the safety of
bridges by causing the metal to con
tract and produce an unequal strain on
trusses, etc.

non,tKm The Old Hen.

When hens are shedding feathers they often
stop laying and grow fat. Most people consider
fat a sign of health. The fattening of moult-
ing hens, however, as with some people, pro-
duces debility rather than health. Many Of
the worst cases Of roup are contracted, while
the hens are moulting.
The food of moulting hens, if largely vege-
tablets fat-forming,a and not required for grow
ing feathers. Therefore corn-fed hens get very
fat. They need more nitrogen and phosphate
elements in their food when moultng,which II
not supplied they stop laying, because the
growing feathers have used all, and left no nj
trogenous matter to form eggs. At this season,
killing old hens and relying on young pullets is
o great mistake, where people have few hens
and late pullets. Because if properly fed, the
hens viii have their new plumage and lay well
all winter; While the pullets unless specially
treated may not commence laying until spring,
when high prices for eggs have fallen one-half.
Again an old hens egg viii hatch more Wig
orous chickens than pullet's egg.
John r. Jones, Suf1eld, Conn, a breeder of
prize winning notified Javas, says:

rs arcet Clover-A New Forage Plan,

| rs .arcet CloVer-A New Forage Plant'
The following from the Carson
Nevada, Appeal, concerning a new
! forage plant which has been introduced
in Nevada, is worth the attention OF all
stockgrowers;
Herman Springmeyer, Carson Val
ley rancher, is buying hillsides in
Douglass county, on which he proposes
sowing new forage plant, known in
Germany as ''Esparcet."
Mr.. Springmeyer, who is reported as
having tried the new grass near Genoa,
is quoted as saying: 1T is a plant
which looks like clover. ard grows
about eighteen inches high. am con-
vinced by actual experiment that it will
grow on the rankest and barrenest hill
sides in this State. You can cut two
crops year. 1t is considered much
better than Alfalfa in Germany. 1t
fattens cattle faster and makes COWS
give better milk. No one would think
of using Alfalfa in Germany when he
could get Esparcet.
Yes, l took up considerable land.
1t was all billy, barren land, that no
one else wanted, probably; but once let
this forage plant get "a good fout-hold
here. and every foot of that land will be
in demand. 1t will make all these hills
green. The dryer the soil the better.
1t flourishes among rocks, and lime
stone formation seems about the best
place for it. 1t comes early in the
spring and stays green until the snow
covers it. have sent to Germany for
more seed. 1t is the coming plant for
cattle and horses. and stockmen can
get rich here in Nevada if they never
have drop of water. 1t will not grow
in moist land; 100 much moisture kills
it. The hotter and dryer the season the
better. Our dry climate is exactly suit
able for it, and the ranchers will not be
long finding out what it will do" This
most desirable seed, we understand, is
now quoted at 81 per pound; or n We
pounds for 81 post paid. Sears & Lid

address is SO W. First South Street
