HOW RAIN is PRODUCED.

Did it ever occur to the reader that
there is just as much water in the air
above him on clear, bright day as on a
cloudy or rainy one? Rain does not come
from somewhere else, or il it is waited
over you by the wind from elsewhere,
the water that was over you is simply
waited on to some other place. What is
said above explains this. Water is ab-
sorbed in the air above us, at a certain
temperature, and it becomes insensible.
Cool that air by cooler atmosphere or
by electrical or chemical Influences and
the moment the air becomes cooler it
gives up some of the watery PARTICLES
that we're insensible or invisible at the
higher temperature. These small par
ticles thus given out unite, and, when
enough of them coalesce, obstruct the
light and show the clouds. When
enough of them unite to be too heavy to
float in the air, they begin to descend;
pair after pair of them come together
until -ain-drop is formed. One of the
minute rain drops is made up OF millions
OF infinitely small watery particles. Air
passing over the cold tops of mountains
is cooled down so that it gives up good
deal of the concealed watery vapor, and
hence little rain fall in the region along the
lee side ofsuch mountains. This is why lit
tie rain falls in Colorado, and in other
places north and south of the State. The
prevailing winds blow to the west, and the
cool tops of the Rocky mountains lower
their temperature and thus take ont the
moisture that would otherwise fall in rain.

Give your flock of poultry a small
amount of salt at least once a week.
A cross between fine blooded light
brahmas and partridge cocbins will pro-
duce the largest fowl known.
Filth, disease and death are as ISOLATED
together at all times and places. Keep
things bright and they will keep you so.
Ground bone is one of the very best
things that can be fed to chicks. A tea
spoonful in the food for fifty once day
will always do them good.
Over 10000 boxes of strawb srries have
been grown on an acre OF land, which
shows what can be done with good varie-
ties and excellent cultivation.
The best medicines in the world for
poultry are clean, dry quarters and lots of
sunshine, Better lose every other poul-
try recipe known than to forget this.
Anybody can introduce new varieties
OF fruit by planting the seed, though the
chances are that but one variety in
thousand will be worthy of retention.
The surface Of the ground around rose
bushes should be kept loose, and if the
weather should become dry an occasional
watering of the young plants would be
Of advantage.
The mechanical condition Of the soil
has much to do with the growth of crops.
Jumps, clods and crusts are drawbacks.
The harrow and cultivator should be
used when never needed.
The Corey sweet corn will mature as
early as any. The Corey, Pearl and Mar
blehesd are the favorite varieties. The
small ear kinds are the earliest, but some
OF the later varieties are of better quail
ity.
Protect the birds. Put up suitable
boxes for the wrens. Prevent the shoot
ing of firearms in the orchards and keep
as few cats as possible. It is q fact that
oats destroy more birds than all other
causes put together.
For over-tender plants on cool nights
light frame made of 18th with muslin
covers, will enable the gardener to put
out egg plants and tomatoes. These
frames can be made of any desired size or
shape and at low cost.
Begin now and look occasionally around
the trunks OF young trees at the surface
of and below the ground for the borer.
The longer this is deferred the more diff
cult it will become to kill the borer when
he shall have effected an entrance.
Kerosene oil will kill all kinds of in
sects when used on trees, but the oil will
injure the trees. A small quantity used
in an emulsion may be sprayed on apple
trees, but it will kill the peach trees, even
when used on them in small quantities
The castor.oil bean plant makes an
excellent and beautiful border along the
walks. but itsis strong and vigorous
grower and demands q large proportion
of manure. The plant is said to be
protection against some kinds Of insects.
Manure is complete plant food because
it contains all the elements required.
Commercial fertilizers vary in compost
ton, and the advantages in their use is
that they enable the farmer to select
special substances that may be lacking
in the soil.

IMPORTANT TO FATHERS WHO

SMOKE.
May give you my recent experience
of tobacco smoke? 1t may be warning
to others. I have one child little
girl not yet two years old, fair. haired,
blue-eyed pet who was as healthy as the
birds when she was born. For more
than year past-ever since she was old
enough to be less in the nursery and
more with her father and me, she has
allied mysteriously. could not ssy she
was ILL, yet she was hardly ever we'll
l was kept in perpetual state of anx-
iety about her. The symptoms we're alb
sence OF appetite, complaints Of sickness,
stomach and digestion altogether out of
order. Last August 1 took her to q
country town where we stayed two
months. After the first week che -four
ished like young green bay tree, ate and
drank and laughed and played and slept,
and kept me forever busy enlarging her
garments. brought her home rosy and
robust. In one week all the old symp.
lines under the eyes, listless wsys, restless
nights. Some one suggested that the
neigbborhood did not suit her; and was
cogitating how to take her away again,
when she caught severe cold, and was
confined entirely to one room for three
weeks. She recovered her general health
completely. Appetite, spirits, sleep all re-
turned. 1t could not be in the neighbor-
hood. After her cold, she joined us down.
stairs again as usual, two or three times q
day. In less than a week, sickness, ETC.,
returned.-I was in despair, For nearly
three months, racked my brains about
drains, Wallpapers, milk. water, sauce
pans, any and everything in vain,
child slowly wasted. The weather was
too severe to take her away. In an agony
of mind 1 noticed one day that, SO far
from outgrowing her Gle thes as had ex-
pected, they we're too large for her. The
little thing was not eating enough to
keep up her strength and we could not
coax her to eat. Yet she was not really
ill; she ran about and played in quiet
way, and looked fairly we'll to those who
had not seen her more robust.
Suddenly my husband was Summoned
into the country. A week after he went,
the child began to eat with eager relish.
In fortnight she was her own happy
self, full of riotous, childish spirits. "Her
father has never seen her like this" re-
marked one evening, when she was par.
ticularly merry and mad; and then the
truth flashed upon me. It was his tobac-
CO that upset her. He has been away
now for a month; and the child's limbs
daily got firmer and rounder, and she
is the merriest, healthiest mortal posi-
BILE. He always smoked after breakfast
and after lunch with her in the room,
nsither of us dreaming in was inju-
rious to her. But for his providential
absence this time, I doubt whether it
would ever have occurred TO me; and we
might have lost our darling, for she was
wasting sadly. 1t was acting like a slow
poison upon her. This is true unvsr-
nished statement. which my nurse can
corroborate. When shall we have Pa

ons to the utmost enclose my card.

CHAPTER V.
THE II. NJ. s. KANGAROO.

1t was on Tuesday evening that
mighty vessel was steaming majestically
out of the mouth of the Thames and shap-
ing her imposing course straight at the
ball Of the setting sun. Most people will
remember reading descriptions of the
steamship Kangaroo, and being astonished
at the power of her engines, the beauty of
her fittings, and the extraordinary speed
about eighteen knots-which she de-
veloped in her trials, with an unusually
low expenditure of coal. For the benefit
of those who have not, however, it may
be stated that the kangaroo, the Little
kangaroo, as she was ironically named
among sailor men, was the very latest de-
velopment Of the science of modern ship
building. Everything about her, from
the electric light and boiler tubes up, was
on a new and patent system.
Quicker and quick.. she sped along and
spurnod the churning water from her
swift sides. She WAS running under a
full head OF steam now, and the coast line
of England grew faint and low III the
faint, low light, till at last it vanished
from the gaze of tall, slim girl who
stood fopward, clinging to the starboard

POLITICAL POINTS

In 1884 Blaine received l82 cleo
toral votes and Cleveland 2l9-37
majority. In 1888, with his good,

man" from Maine at least 100 votes.

cans ough, to be great enough to &C.
cure that desired result. The popu-
lar vote was 4,S4s,334 for Blaine,
and 4,91l,0l7 for Cleveland-a ma
iority of 62,6s3. 1t ought to be a
half million this year. Mr.. Tilden
carried the country by 10000 over
all candidates and 25O,707 over
Hayes - Wilmington Star.
The farmers Of the country are
presenting the name of Alexander
as their choice and they compose the
great bulk of the party. They have
stood by the party through thick
and thin, and have been modest in
their demands in the past, but they
will now feel greatly disappointed il
they fail to be heard in this instance.
We are III favor OF the nomination
OF Mr.. Alexander, however not be-
cause be is a farmer, but because we
believe that he will prove the strong
est man with tue masses Of any man
yet mentioned. He has no record
to defend and is fully able to cope
with any candidate that may be put
against him, and the masses will
rally TO his standard, if nominated,
and give to Democracy q rousing
victory. We believe that the nomi-
nation of Alexander would insure
