4 Oae.Armed RI!er Of Germany.

There is a prophecy which is widely
belle ed in by The German people, who
are somewhat superstitious. Germany is
to bc the greatest, it says, under young
ruler who has but one arm and has fonr
sons. He j. to succeed an ngcd cover
cign, carry on a great war successfully,
and prove another Frederick the Great.
The Germans see in this the destiny of
Prince William who was born with one
arm partly dcformed-short and still.
And tney See in his character all the re-
gurenen's of the prophecy, even down
to the four sons. But the power of
Germany W II wane after this rul r, and
she will 60 down and become an i,sig.
n:ticant nation. SO runs the prophecy
st. S:eparna Reriew.

Profit in Sheen.

It seems as if every farmer could make
sheep profitable. 1t is not a difficult
thing to do to make sheep yield an in
come of S6 per year from her lamb and
fleece. In any OF the older States. good
lamb, fit to turn away in July. or before,
will bring 81 in the local markets, and
eight pounds of unwashed wool, of me-
dium or coarse grade, will surely bring
81. The sheep may be valued at S..
This 10 the amount of capita! required in
the sheep. 10 this must be added the use
of land tor pasture and to cut hny from
for the winter. The pasture for small
flock of sheep is an item of little cost, as
they can run in the early spring on the
land designed for corn, and if they do cat
this down close they will make it richer.
After the corn g; ound is no longer avail
able, the buckwhcat lot and the fallow
land can be utilized for pasturing the
sheep. Some good farmers may say this
is pinching the sheep too closely, and the
lambs will not do well.
1t must be remembered that sheep like
q short and sweet bite, SO that close
pasture is not am;ss. This is not all.
Every flock Of sucking ewes and ev,rs
lot OF lambs should have grain every day
In regular feeds. Here is a secret our
readers should know. The money to be
made out Of lambs is in rapid and early
growth, and this can be broug It abo 1t
the cheapest AMI the best with additional
food, such as they need, and that spe-
cially adapted to make milk and growth.
Every man who owns any land and who
wants 10 get anything from it can well
afford TO buy bran, if he does not have it,
and to feed it to all Young animals and
all sucking ones. He will certainly get
It back by feeding it plentilnIly to sheep
and lambs in bo!h growth and in The ma
nure. sheep thus fed will shear double
the amount OF wool that they will con-
fined to hay and grass. sheep will do
well on Gear clover hay before lambiny.
and if in tine condition they will do well
fed exclusi ely on it aftcrward. but u
little grain, even when fed on this, the
best OF hay, will help wonderfully and
pay in the ext growth. 1t is folly to
expect any profit in SHEEP when not lib
orally fed 1t will make half-ditference
in the lambs. ANY man can figure ont
the difference, allowing two gills u day,
or iull pint for three Ut more months,
With the results, or no grain with its re.

N0madic Pagans In Russia.

A nomadio people living in the Upper
Ural in Russia, and called \aguls, are
pagans. In winter they live in wooden
caoins, while in summer they 60 out
among the mounia rs and dwell under
canvas. Their winter clothing is made
of camel skin and Their summer Of linen.
AS is the rule among savage ra es, the
women are little better than slaves. The
Vaguls worship the bear, and consider
as sacred different parts Of the forest, for
which they have n supcrs'itiouS terror.
They sac. ifice daily to their deity a
stall on previously creased. Contact
with Eussians is beginning to civilize
these people.

AGRICULTURAL,
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Favor Your Horses.

Some level-headcd lover of cQuincs
'pertinently remarks that the man who
drags the life out OF his team while
plowing with an old-fashioncd, dilapi-
dated plow, when plow of some
improved pattern would do better work,
more of it, and with much less labor,
certainly does not deserve to be the
owner of horse. If the road-cart rides
just as easy as the four wheeled vehicles
that have been used for many years, an
swers cry purpose, and can be driven
with one-half the labor, then the proper
thing to do is to use the cart instead OF
the heavier vehicle and save your horse
flesh. Horses that are willing to work
as best they can, at whatever they are
put, are certainly entitled to every con-
venience that can be afforded them.

The Cocaine Habit.

The Bellevue Hospital authorities say
the cocaine habit is on the increase &C
cording to their tatIstics. 1t has not,
however, rea. he'd startling proportions:
az only fifteen cases have been treated in
Bellevue during The present year. About
one half OF the patents were found to
be suffering from morphine MS well as CO.
caine, and, as rule, rcsortcd to the lat
ter to escape the former. Owing to the
compaI at vely recent discovery of CO.
caine they were not aware that they were
flying for relief to more deadly drug.
The cocaine habit is considered incur
able when once contracted.
The most notable in tance of its dire
effects known in III 8 country is in the
case of of Er. harles Bradley, Of Chi
cago, who was tine specimen of man
hood and one Of the leading physicians
of tie axe City, when he commenced
experimenting with the drug. us .ng HIM
sell, his wife and his chiliren as sub ects
for his experiments In very snort
time he became mental and physical
wrerk, and is now probably in, urable
in aid ID the Chisrian home Of this city.
He naturally lost all of his fine practice
in Chicago and became a a.rant.
Ohe Of the pecu!iarities OF tie cocaine
habit is tha' a majority of it's victims
have been phy-icians, which Is at least
partly accounted for by their efforts to
arrive at q thorough understanding of
the action and effects of the drugs.

DANGER before he had lost his reason and
voluntarily entered The hospital for treat
ment. He unls remained eight or nine
days however. and left appal emily con-
vince that he was safe, but his friends
fear he did not remain long enough. In
another and very sad phase this New

Yellow Fever Never Twice Alike.

Practical Butter Ration.

Early cut hay, cut from ground drained
by nature or by art, nice, sweet fodder,
corn or corn fodder, bright clover hay
with the leaves all saved, sound corn
meal and few carrots will make the
best of butter in amount, color, aroma
and texture. Bran will cut down the
quantity and quality Of the butter, e:pe-
eially If given in large quantities. l
speak of it as substitute for cornmeal.
There is no substitute for fine ground
cornmeal; not crushed, but flour of corn.
The energy of COWS must be turned to
milk production and not to corr-grind'
ing, nor to ca rv two pounds of corn to
digest one with its interference with di-
ges,ion. We cannot afford to grind
thirty-cent corn for steers, but for COWS
we can. Cats will not give the color to
the butter *nat corn will while the oil
meals give less desirable color and
texture. A small amount Of cotton seed
mea! is favorable to quantity if large
amount of corn fodder is given, and in
small amounts not ccusurable. Two to
three pounds day is all l desire, while
ten pounds of meal in total is enough

Number Of Eggs from One Hen.
Enthusiastic poultry raisers, says a
writer in the New York Wcrld, are re-
sponsibe for occasional statements that
prove very misleading to amateurs. For
instance, we are told Of hens that lay
$50 or 200 eggs per year, and the mex
perienced man or woman is liable to
to think that he or she can go into raising
poultry and yet that many eggs per year
from each hen. On this basis they figure
out fine proft-scld m realh ed. OF
course. the number Of eggs depends
somewhat on the breed. Small, we'll
cared-for tlo"ks of Plymouth l ocks and
doubtless Of other good egg-producers,
such as Hamburgs, Minorcas, etc., may
average $50 eggs per annum. On an Or
dinary f1ock of chickens, having no
more than ordinary care, l would figure
something like this: Out of the 365
days of The year deduct say 80 for the
moulting sea on, during which no eggs
will be lad; this leaves 2i5 days; now,
say that the hen lays an egg every other
day regularly, this gives 1877. But if q
hen hatches out a brood she 10, es time
again, and even the hens that do not sit
will take short resting spell; SO that I
would consider 120 eggs a frstclass

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are va
rious, and statistics show conclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the
throat and lungs than any other. 1t is
probable thai everyone, without exception,
receives vast numbers of tpbercle germs
into the system, and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is shown
by slight tickling sensation in the throat,
and if allowed to continue their ravages
they extend to the lungs, producing con-
sumption, and to the head, causing
catarrh. Now all this is dangerous, and if
allowed to proceed will in time cause death.
At the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing cold to go without atten-
ton is dangerous, and may lose you your
life. AS soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your throat. lungs or nostr;ls,
obtain bottle of Boschee's German Syrup.
Itswill give you immediate relief.
