There is SO much freedom and independence
in the life Of a pioneer, that one need not be
surprised that men-and women, too-are
ready to brave the dangers and discomforts
attendant on this mode of life. The one
sickness and accident, to which all are ex-
posed, it is impossible to secure the services OF
regular physician. For all cases of febrile OF
bilious derangement there is nothing superior
to Frese's Hamburg Tea.

BURDErTE,s LITTLE SERMON.
TO THE MAN WHO aRowLs OVER THE MINIS
 TIERS SALARY.

Bob" Buriette, the Hawkeye hnmorist, doesn't fancy the man who is always az grieved to hear of of a minister who gets a good salary or 8 temperance reformer who makes comfortable living in doing good. He talks to such in the following fraternal way:
 Remember, my boy, the good things in the world are always the cheapest. Spring water costs less than corn whiskey a box of cigirs will buy two or thrre Bib es; a gallon of old brandy costs more than a barrel of flour @ full hand at poker of ten costs man more in twenty min utes than his church subscription amounts to in three years a state election costs more than revival of religion you can sleep in church every Sunday morn ing for nothing, if you are mean enough to deadbeat your lodging in that way, but a nap in Pullman car costs you two dollars every time fifty ceuts for the circus, and & penny for the little ones to put in the m ssionary box ; one d ,llar for the theatre, and a pair of trousers frayed at the end and baggy at the knees for the Michigan sufferers the race horse scoops in S2, 900 the first day, and the church fair lasts a week, works twenty-five or thirty of the best women in Ameuca nearly to death, and comes out $40 in debt Why, my boy, if you find yourself sneering or scoH- ing because once in n while you hear of u preacher getting living, or even & lux urious salary, go out in the dark and feel ashamed of yourself, and, if you don't feel above kicking a mean man, kick yourself. |"

Senator Plsft's bill, pruv,dIug for an ex- perimental grass and forage plant farm, is a most important one, as he himself shows m the speech made on the submission of the bill. The crop is the foundation crop of the agricultural interests of the country, and is much more "king" than cotton Ur corn ever were Other nations, recogniz- ing the importance of this branch of agrI- culture have done much to advance 1t in the line of scientific discrimination ill kinds and in cultivation, and it will be n most wise expenditure of portion of our ample means in providing for the proper investigation and advancement of this de- partment of industry here. Good grass m sans good beef aud good mutton aud good pork and good butter and good cheete and good mllk. Very little attention has been paid to the subject of grasses in the past by our agricultural department or by our agriculturists. The cereals have had their share of scientific investigation and of practical investigation to determine the best wheat and best corn and the best oats and the best barley might be grown in the United States and yet there has been a general neglect of thls matter of the culti- vation and development of the best quail ties of grass best adapted to the soil and conditions of climate ill the different sec tions of our country.

It is not easy for good actor to play corpse. Miss Annie Russell had an ex- perience the other evening that illustrates a scarce suspected difficulty, yet one that might easily turn a sad scene into a ridic ulous farce. In the last act, for fully fif- teen minutes, the lady maid of Astolat Is seen by the audience stretched out upon her bed that has been lain upon the barge, her limbs rigid, her features firm and one hand visible, stiffened in death. A white light is thrown upon her. A feeling of sadness pervsded the audience as they watched the pale countenance. Not a single person in the theatre knew what was passing through the mInd of the corpse Miss Russell was in perfect agony. She felt that her rigidity of limb and pensive- ness of feature were sadly imp-rned. Her nose twitched, and she felt that she was about to sneeze. Horrors Farewell, smooth, placid features locked in death 1; farewell, tears standing iu many eyes, and, horrors laughter, convnlSive laughter Fortunately she did not sneeze.

The subject of food has never vet receiv.

The subject of food has never yet receiv- ed a common sense consideration. There is no doubt but vast amount of whole some food products are yet overlooked. During the grasshopper invasion it was proved by Professor Riley and some of our normal school teachers that uch crea- lures may serve as an excellent article of food, yet the people preferred semi-starva- ton to even tasting them" Snails are luxuries in France. It was long before frogs found a market in this country. MT. Wallace tells us eggs are never eaten by Pacific Islanders. Strawberries are re- iected by some of the tropical races. Es- quimaux reject all vegetable food. The people of New Guinea pronounce bread 8 detestahle affair. Milk is used very little in some of our southern states, as it is seldom tasted by tribes in Africa, that keep large herds. One tribe in New Guinea abhors sugar, but devours salt. Snakes are an article of diet quite largely in Asia.--jS. Louis Globe Democrat.

Broken Rails in Winter.

A practical railroad engineer Of ex.
tensive observation and experience
writes in answer to the question
whether frost weakens rails that. con-
trary to what is commonly held in re.
gard to this point low temperature
does not decrease the strength of rails
though accidents are more likely tc
occur from broken rails in cold wealth
er. The reason given for this latter
fact is that the ground. when frozen
solid. is rigid. losing the elasticity
which acts as . safeguard in fine
weather, and thus. when . train runs
on such . road-bed. something must
weld, and As the rail is the weakest
point, it gives way. Extended expert
ments, says this writer. have been
made with testing machines ON steel
and iron rails the results Of which
show that the cold does not weaken
the metal at all; the frost is also likely
to diminish the safety Of bridges BY
causing the metal to contract and pro.
duce an unequal strain on the trusses.

But he couldn't hold candle to kettle all IN

Though the music of composers is good enough

It takes kettle singing to electrify the heart

To the music of its ditty, like the tinkle Of q

And .ssui sibi sibi, and sui sbi sc"

And the fash OF running waters in the kettles

And robins in the sunshine are warbling in the

As the kettle sings its solo upon the kitchen

COWS THAT PAY WELL

How to Asesrtain the True Value 81
Dairy Anlmals.
In order to secure the largest profit
from the cows kept on the farm We
must only keep those that pay the
best, and in determining this point it
is necessary not only to keep accounts
and ascertain by this means which is
the most profitable, but also determine
which is the best for the purpose for
which we are keeping them. We can
hardly expect that we will be able to
secure an animal that is perfect in all
respects, that is to say y perfect ami
NAL for beef, for milk and for cream.
We must first ascertain if what We
have are the best for the purpose we
have in view. II We are keeping and
feeding for beef we want an animal
that will convert the largest per cent.
of the food consumed into beef. while
If milk is wanted we want the largest
quantity possible and generally ire

wanted we want good quantity. but
at the same time must not forget that
quality is as fully an important an
item. Having determined the pur-
pose, we must next be Is certain il
