Inherited Diseases.

No fact of nature is more pregnant
with awful meaning than the fact of the
inheritance of disease.
Modern science, which has illuminated
30 many dark corners of nature, has shed
a new light on the Ominous words of tho
Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers,
shall be visited upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation.n
Fifty per cent. of cases Of consumption,
cancer and scrofula, run in families
through inheritance. Insanity is hered-
itary in a marked degree, but, fortu-
nately, like many other hereditary
diseases, tends to wear itself out, the
stock becoming extinct. A distin-
guished scientist truly says: tsNo organ
or texture Of the body is exempt from
hereditary disease" Probably more
chronic diseases, which permanently
modify the structure and functions of
the body, are more or less liable to be in
herited. The important and far-reaching
practical deductions from such facts
are obvious to rejecting minds, and the
best means for preventing or curing
these diseases is a subject of intense in
terest to all. Fortunately nature has
provided a remedy, which experience
has attested as infallible, and the RENE
dy is'the world-famous Swift's Specific,
pure vegetable ompound-nature'-
antidote for all blood poisons. To the
afflicted it is blessing of inestimabie
value. An interesting treatise on
stBlood and Skin Diseases will be

Potatoes.

To obtain a paying crop these
three things are absolutely necessary,
viz: Good soil, good seed and good
culture. If the ground is deficient
in vegetable matter, potash, ammo
MIA OF phosphates, these must be
supplied from some source, or fail
ure will be the result. The soil must
be rich, loose and mellow, and the
work all done by horse power to
save expense. | never grew a pay
ing crop of potatoes by using small
or inferior seed, and / doubt if any

grown potatoes on the same ground
every year for the last eighteen years,
and dug paying crop every year,
but have had to cover the ground
every two years with well rotted
barnyard manure. The best yield I
ever got was at the rate of $40 bush
els to the acre, all nice large pota-
toes, as smooth as eggs, and sold
them for $1.15 per bushel. Lay off
the rows with single shovel pillow
about three feet apart and four OF
five inches deep. This lets the loose
fall back into and partly fill up the
furrow, and makes a good seed bed
directly under the seed; drop the
seed, cut to two or three eyes, about
10 inches apart in the drills, cover
with three-shovel cultivator by re-
moving the front shovel and letting
the horse walk in the drills. As
soon as shoots come through the
ground | harrow the potatoes with 9
light V-shaped harrow, with SHARP
teeth slanting backwards, going right
around the patch lengthwise of the
rows. This loosens and levels the
ground, destroys nearly all the young
weeds, does the crop more good thar

Necessity of Improving Our
Cattle.

To change the entire characters
tics of a family cannot be accom-
plished in one or two years, but a
decade of steady Improvements will
produce admirable results. The I'M
cared-for state of range herds of our
country cannot be satisfactory to
those versed in cattle lore. Neither
has the present management lined
with gold the pockets of owners.
What is now needed is to make rad
zeal change; change so complete
as to be new departure. Let the
herds be rapidly and continuously
improved, and where three have been
produced replace with two. Let
our ranchmen see to it that the pas
lures are not overfed and trampled
down until the range becomes hard
and destitute of heritage. Intelli-
gent improvement and discretion in
shipping are items heretofore left out
of the western cattlemen's vocabu-
larry; due attention to which will
bring in speedy and sure return.
The feeders in the ow-growing belt
must be made to bear their share Of
the general shortcoming. These ex-
cellent people feed well and produce
first-class beef, buS they do so re-
gardless of reasons and of the needs
of local markets. Whatever their
profits may now be, these could be
doubled were the herds ready for
winter sale, rather than at present,
when the best corn-fed beeve under
the summer heats, when the markets
are annually over-supplied and prices
proportionately low.-Amaerican Ag-
riculturjst.

many of the still smaller sources

has been source of profit to those
who have HAD that grain for sale, and

who have bought it and fed it to

the past two years, with honor to hun
self aud credit to his country? If so,

whose official integrity. has never been

delapidated condition, and by his in
dustry has brought order out of chaos.
This is one of the most important offices
in the county, and should not be trust
ed to the keeping of unworthy men;
but should be given to one who, BY his
past record, has proven himself worthy
of the trust imposed. We believe that
the people of Ford county appreciate
the services of Mr.. Vanderslice too
highly, to see Linn defeated, but will

REASON IN ANIMALS.

A Conclusion Which Involves Interesting
Psychological Consequences.
The trainer of the wonderful horses
that have been exhibited at the Grand
Opera House tells those who 60 to sec
his animals that after a large expe-
rience in brute education he does not
know where instinct leaves off and
reason begins; intimating that he does
not believe there is any difference be-
tween the two.
In this belief a large and growing
number of people agree with him. The
old distinctions between ''instinct" and
reason" that used to be set dowE
dogmatically in the text books, no
longer command unquestiOned assent.
As the education of animals by man
progresses. it seems more and more
probable that the difference between
the intelligence of man and the intel
igence of animals is a difference of
degree only, not of kind. Some OF
the ''tricks" O.: these performing horses
show degree OF thought. perception
OF the reasons and relations of things
that would be credit to child of
three or four years old. The ''arith-
metical trick" wherein the horse ap-
pears to be able to add, subtract,
divide and multiply simple num-
bers, may not be in reality an
exercise of arithmetical reason on
the part of the horse, but things quite
as wonderful have been done by ami
mails. Sir John Lubbock taught his
poodle the alphabet and how to spell
simple words that specially interest
dogs, such as ''meat, "bone," "wa-
ter" etc. If dogs and horses pos
sessed the necessary organs of articu-
lation, there is no doubt that they
could be taught to talk with some In
telligence, and it is certain that par
rots do in many cases perceive the re-
lati0ns between the words they utter
and the things the words signify.
If it be conceded that animals pos
sess reasoning faculties the same in
kind as mans, that is concession
which involves interesting psycholog-
ical consequences. The materialist will
see in it proof that human existence
is only material and that death ends
all. The opposite of the materialist-
that is, the spiritualist-has already
been driven, in most cases, to the ORR
entail esoterie doctrine of Immortality
for the lower animals also, as well as
for man. For the reverential people
who are neither materialists nor spir.
itualists, the knowledge that the beasts
Of the field are endowed with reason
like ours. capable, perhaps, of being
developed almost as high as ours, will
