HOW MEN DIE.

If we know all the methods of APP
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and postpone the moment
when surrender becomes inevitable.
In many instances inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to OPP
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such al extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases little aid
to the weakened Lungs will make all
the difference between sudden death
and many years of useful life. Upon
the first symptoms of a Cough, Cold
or any trouble of the Throat or Lungs,
give that old and well-known remedy
-Boschee's German Syrup, careful
trial. 1t will prove what thousands
say of it to be, the 'benefactor of any
home.n

EARLY VARIETIES OF CoRN.-As the
planting season draws nigh, the dis
cussion. of this subject is in order, and
the fact that corn is really the king of
all our cereal crops renders it of wide
interest. Abiding to it, New Eng
land contemporary remarks that
through a large part of the country
corn fails from untimely cutting off
by frosts oftener than from any other
cause. 1t pays farmers who have had
this experience to, get the earliest va
riety they know of, and by yearly Sc
lections of the earliest ripened ears
maintain this characteristic. The old
King Philip corn always ripens, and
though its ears are small, it is one of
the varieties that will yield half its
bulk of ears in shelled corn, and some
times even more. For those who like
a good corn that will ripen in ninety
to q hundred days Sibley's Pride Of the
North variety may be safely recon-
mended. 1t needs rich soil to make it
ripen early. On poor land the corn,
after getting its growth, natures slow

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

AS the winter has been quite severe
and our prospect for an average crop
looks rather discouraging, we should
look to some other means of meeting
our expenses As a farming commu-
nifty, we have depended upon corn and
wheat. know some would ask what
are you going to do about it? That is
about as far as the boy got with the
mule; but propose to get to the top
of the hill if they give me push. Let
as many as will suggest their ideas
through the REGISTER, and by so do
ing we may find something that will
substitute wheat | think the Brazil
ian flour corn will fill the space be-
tween our corn and wheat. It's true
this is something new, but that is
what we want. 1t can be gotten from
Georgia at a small cost. On good
ground it will produce from 10 TO 100
bushels to the acre and twice as much
fodder as corn. If we as farmers would
send in a body, it could be bought
cheaper. 1t makes as good light bread
as wheat. The bran makes corn cakes
and the midlings biscuits. You lose
nothing but the cob. The cause of
our short crops is not the fault of the
farmer This country never has been
worked as thoroughly as it is at this
time. No; the fault is not there. n
trouble we cannot overcome and
should be thankful it's no worse. Our
winters are too open to raise wheat
successfully, and / think this corn, if
our climate will suit it, will be bless
ing to this country.
The second man on the list says
what about the clover? It's injured
as badly as the wheat and you can't
substitute it, | think we can with
Bermuda and Orchard Grass. Either
of them will stand our winters and
produce heavy crops of hay. think
it a good idea to SOW small quantity
OF seed on our clover fields in the
spring and run light harrow over
them. 1t will also help the wheat.
Oats is paying cropand can be ERASED
cheaper than wheat or corn. Then
comes beans. Phey pay at $500 per
bushel Tobacco will bring us a larg-
er profit than wheat 1t is certain
anything in the grain list certainly
will beat wheat and corn at the pres
ent prices. Brother H. and | intend
to supply the market with rabbits.
| am glad to see the interest the
farmers are taking in poultry. They
could still be made to pay better if
fewer hens were allowed to set The
eggs pay better than young chickens,
as there is a great loss in raising them.
One hundred good hens will pay as
well as % acres of wheat, if counting
all expenses.
Fruit can be raised at still a smaller
cost than anything / have mentioned.
| hope to see the day when every
farmer will express his ideas. For
what value is an idea if you keep it to
yourself?
hope to hear from some brother
farmer on this subject, even if he has
to take this as background.

BEST Cows FOR MILK DAIRYING -
The COWS most desira BILE for this in
dustry are large-bodied animals, that
give an abundant yield of fairly good
milk, containing sufficient solid mat
ter TO mark a specific gravity of 1.03O
on the scale of the lactoneter. 1t will
not pay in this business to rear calves,
or to have dry cows feeding three
months without profit. a constant
succession of fresh COWS must be kept
up by purchase, and the failing COWS
must be disposed of the butchers 1t
would be more profitable to give them
away than TO keepthem to rear calves.
Hence costly pure-bred cows cannot
be kept, unless a profit can be made
of the calves sufficient to pay for the
expenses of carrying the cows through
their dry time. The cows most de-
sired for this business are the half
bred Shorthorns, or grade Holstein-
Friesians. Many breeders of fine
pure-bred Holsteins, which are large
mixers, and whose milk is excellent
for this purpose, devote their herds to
the production Of milk for sale, find
ing a good demand for the calves,
which sell at prices which repay the
cost OF rearing them. Some Ayrshire
breeders do the same with equal pro-
fit. But, as a rule, it is best to attend
to one thing at time in business, and
the milk dairyman will find the best
cows for his use to be the grade Short
horns, Holsteins, or Ayrshires.-Amer-

about $4,000 a year. He had been de-

left loving, sorrowful, partly incoherent
note for his wife, in which he referred to
letters, marked books and ciphers, intend

bismarck and the Empress.

BERLIN, May 21.-The relations be-
tween the empress and Prince Bismarck
are again strained. Before the chancellor
went to Varzin, the empress submitted to
the emperor several names of court Off
cials on whom she desired to have con
Ierred distinguished honors. Prince Bis
marck protested and the whole ministry
signed paper stating if the orders were
conferred they would resign. The en-
press then withdrew the names The
feeling of bitterness between the court
and Prince Bismarck's partisans is inten-
sified. The chancellor will return to Ber-
lin at the end of the next week. The sit
uation is too critical to permit of further
rest for him. The war drum beats with
subdued reserve, but ever and anon the
oflclal press reawakens interest by some
