How to Make 1t Pay.

The inquiries how to make the farm
pay five or six per cent. interest on a
high valuation seem rather more nu-
merous this spring than usual. Quite
possibly some of these come from
parties who have been trying it and
have not succeeded. The answer is
that nobody can safely guarantee such
profits, even with the best of manage
ment. Real estate security is among
the best, and this never does and never
will bring the highest profits. When
Government bonds bearing three per
cent. sell at a premium it is absurd to
expect nearly or quite that interest on
security equally good. Probably in
most parts of the country real estate is
held higher than it ought to be from
the readiness Of capitalists to lend
money on security. just in this fact
lies the mistake of farmers who run in
debt for more land. They almost in
evitably have to pay as interest more
than they can mako rs net profit.
There are exceptions to this, but only
enough to prove that it is the general
rule. american AdricMlturist.

DANGER IN MICROBES.
Extracts from Prof. Hirst's Lecture o.
Disease-Breeding Germs.


Disease-Breeding Germs.
DR.. Hirst said the microscope of a
power to increase objects thousand
fold would be required to distinguish a
disease germ, and the number of germs
could not be told. It has been demon
strated that one single germ or microbe
inoculated into a person will, in a few
minutes, multiply with Incredible ra-
pidity. The germ breeds every Sec
ond, and in course of an hour millions
have been known to be born.
To know something about the germs
that causes the infectious diseases,
such as smallpox, typhoid fever,
diphtheria, yellow fever and all other
contagious diseases, we must look for
different germ for each disease,
which has its own peculiar and differ
ent germ. Though they resemble each
other in appearance and in their man
ner of work, they are very hard to dis
tinguish apart, and this can only be
done by a competent chemist.
There are very few families that have
not felt, with sorrow, the power of
these dreadful microbes, and no mat
ter how much cleanliness is preserved
there is always danger. All infectious
diseases originate from these small
microbes.
The action of a germ is usually the
same. They enter the body through
cut, the nose, the air we breathe and
the water we drink. They go until
they reach the right side of the heart
Here they are halted for time, but
gradually force their way through to
the lungs. They continue, and enter
the intestines, next then the spleen,
from there into the blood-vessels, and
then clear path to the heart, which
soon forces them through the whole
system.
People ought not to breathe in
sick-room more than is absolutely nec-
essary, and should abstain from being
connected with any disease to which
germs belong. A room in which a
person with contagious disease is "
ing should be thoroughly disaffected
by the burning of sulphur Putrifica-
ton or decomposition springs forth as
deadly as any germ. If piece of de-
composed meat, which has been ex-

posed to the air, should be taken an0
placed over cut, it would result In
blood poison and a speedy death.
s.You are aware said the doctor,
ssthat in making wine the bottle is to
be thoroughly air tight, and if not SO
the wine will soon begin to work and
turn sour. Well, if you should take a
few drops of this sour wine and place
them in a bottle of good wine by the
aid of the microscope the germs could
be plainly seen doing their
destructive work, and it would
not be long before the good
wine would be turned into another
chemical, vinegar. These germs are
always floating in the air until they
find some one who has not the proper
chemical proportions to combat against
them. An experiment was made on
forty-eight rabbits with one drop of
decomposed blood, which was pecu-
liar substance resembling the alkaloids,
such as morphia, opium, nicotine 1t
was injected into the rabbits, and be-
fore twenty-four hours had passed half
of them had died, and ten drops caused
the death of the others in few hours.
..What an effect it must have upon
the human race! We are subject to
exposure constantly; every breath we
take is filed with germs of various
diseases. The water especially that is
furnished by the city of Philadelphia is
not fit to drink, but this can be over
come by thoroughly boiling it and using
a weak preparation of bi-carbonate of
mercury. Philadelphia Press.

having received an inquiry concern
ing the origin of the expression would
say that the crow has long been the
emblem of contention-as Hudibras
says:
If not-resolve before we go
That you and must pull a crow.
The same idea is suggested in Com
edy of Errors, act third:
Wen pluck a crow together.
In common parlance, eating crow, as
an expression of humiliation, is much
the same as eating humble pie, but evil
IDENTIFY is more expressive. It's origin
is too obscure to be definitely reached,
but it came into use during the late re-
beliion and evidently was born in the
camp. Many years ago heard the
late &. T. Disosway, who was con-
frmed humorist, tell the following
story, which he had received from a
soldier, and also heard it
from Captain Ballou, of the One
Hundred and Fifteenth Regiment:
A private in one of the Pennsylvania
regiments got leave to go hunting, and
unfortunately shot tame crow belong
ing to a planter, who happened to come
up just as the bird was killed. The
unlucky hunter had rested his musket
against a tree, and the planter seized
it and, pointing it at the former, ex-
claimed: "You can eat that crow or
die" There being no escape the hunter
got through with part of his distasteful
meal, when the planter, relenting, said:
you've done pretty we'll; here, take
your gun and get off right smart -
The soldier, as soon as he got the piece
in his hands, Immediately turned the
tables by leveling it at the planter, ex-
claiming: Nov you eat the rest Of
that crow or I'll shoot you on the spot
There being no escape the thing was
done. In few days the planter had
occasion to visit the camp, and as the
soldier recognized him one Of the
officers inquired: do you know that
man P" 20, yes" replied the planter,
