Iowa's Prohibition Law Sustained.

Tho good news came from Washington on
Monday that the u. s. Supreme Court
had sustained the constItutionality OF the
prohibition law Of Iowa. The point at issue
was the right To manufacture intoxicating
liquors solely for expectation to other States,
despite the State law, and it was pleaded that
the prohlbtory feature, in so far as the manu-
facture Tor expectation Is concerned, was in
conflict with the constitutional provisions
giving Congress the sole right to regulate in
terstate commerce. The court holds that the
State law prohibiting both the manufacture
and the sale, except for mechanical medi-
cinal, culinary and sacramental purposes, is
not in conflict With the interstate commerce
provisions, and the decision of the Iowa court
Is sustained.-Nen Ynrk Ohserrer

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIvE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
The Feet Of sheep.

aIf the "hoof Of the sheep is golden, %
that is, will bring money to the farm, it
Dehooves every shepherd to look we'll to
this appendage of his flock. They need
constant care and watching to prevent
their growing out too long and otherwise
disabling. Pretty much all foot ailments
may be traced to want of care in this di-
rection. For instance, distorted hoof
will gather dirt, hold moisture, and
sooner or later contract disease.
At the time Of stearing, every sheep in
q flock should be carefully examined,
not only for surface diseases, but espe-
cially as to the state Of the hoof. A stout
pair Of nippers and ashoer's knife should
be in the possession Of every fiockmaster.
All overgrowth should be taken of, and
also all dead and useless matter removed.
If the toes are turned up cut them OF as
near as may be, so you do not touch the
quick. Then bring the corners into
shape, examine the cleft, and If there ID
tenderness there, swab it with a solu.
ton Of carbolic acid, and then give it q
coat Of tar as hot as can be borne. In
the autumn, before the sheep are folded
for the winter, they should again be care.
fully examined and operated on for what.
ever difficulty may be found either in the
body, limbs orhoofs. In this way, with
a watchful eye during the intervening
periods, there is no reason why sheen
may not be kept as healthy as any other
farm stock, and yet how many are so?--

THg ENIGMA.
wh-s 'As ss.es,iss a WssIs Want. g

What tho Scientific World Wants 10
Knew,-A 100000 Offer.
We have published in our columns from
time to time different advertisements in re-
gard to Brights Disease and its cures
What Is this terrible diseases
We have taken the trouble to make an in
vestigation from the best sources, and we
give the results to our readers.
What astonishes us is the general indiffer.
ence given to kidney disorders. The kidneys
do not sound the alarm Of their diseased CON
dition, owing to the fact that they have very
few nerves, hence few suspect that there Is
any disease in them. Irritation, infiamna-
tion, liberation set in. and then the little
tubes, Of which the kidneys are full, are de-
stroyed and thrown of, and from this fact
are called tube casts
As soon as this begins TO take place II isonly
question of how fast decomposition goes on
before the disease results fatally Ii the
proper remedies are taken before final de-
composition or waste of these tubes COM
mences or becomes too far advanced, that is
the only and last chance for relief. tisat this
point or before that Warmers safe cure
proves so beneficial, and may cure or stop the
wasting away Of the kidneys If il has not ad.
yanced too far
The most remarkable thing Of all our in.
yestigation is the fact that the patient with
Brights disease has no exclusive symptoms,
but has the symptoms Of every common
disease.
First he may possibly feel a duh pain in
his back, generally upon one side, which does
not debar him from his usual business rou-
tine. After a time he may begin TO feel
neuralgia pains, or have slight attack Of
what he may call rheumatism, or headache,
with high or dark colored urine, with an un-
pleasant sensation in its passage, and after
standing showing an unnatural condition.
Later on, come tired feelings, loss OF ambi-
ton or vigor, or loss of or failing eyesight,
which Is very common, with distressed CON
dition Of the stomach. Any ole of these
symptoms is liable TO occur
This no doubt explains why the proprietors
OF Warmers safe cure are curing so many dis.
eases. BY regulating and building up the
kidneys, symptoms Of general ill-health dis
appear. They Justly accuse the medical pro-
fession OF treating the effects and not the
cause. Finally il this disorder is neglected
the patient either dies OF appoplexy, pneu.
monia, heart disease, blood poisoning. con.
sumption, or any other disease that the sys-
tenn Is most subject to.
There appears TO be some one cause for
nearly every other ailment Of the human
system. but up TO the present time no one has
been able TO fully account for this terrible
malady. We understand that the people Of
Germany have become aware OF its fearful
fatality, and have offered 100000 marks
tSl0O0OW TO any one that can satisfactorily
explain the cause.

teachers, with an average attendance Of
4, 500 pupils. There are fifteen schools
for whites, with an attendance Of 1000.

work of education in the South, and has
school property Of almost $1,000, 600 in
value in its possession. The receipts for
last year were S1s4, ,424.55, Of which sum
the conference collections amounted to
Ss5, $50. Bequests yielded S24, ,O60.35.
OF the receipts Of $1S4, 424.55, only
$50, $3.50 was paid by students. The

Scabby Potatoes.

This year IN many places potatoes are
more scabby than ever before, while 10
the same neighborhoods other farmers
have succeeded in growing good crops Of
fair tubers. 1t would seem that the prob
lem as TO what causes scabbiness might
be solved under these conditions. Many
farmers feel quite certain that worms
cause the injury, as they are usually, IL
not always, found connected with it.
But this may be rather an effect than q
cause Too much fresh manure, coupled
with dry weather, will aways produce
scabbiness. Manure drying in the soil
breeds fungus growths. These attack
the potato and destroy the skin. The
worms come after when the interior OF
the potato is exposed to them. OF them.
selves they cannot penetrate the skin. II
worms caused the scab we should find
potatoes sometimes in which they wers
just beginning work. We do in dry
weather sometimes find potatoes slightly
mouldy. If these are dug and put in
close heaps the mould soon develops into
rot. II it is mould that causes the scah
on potatoes some preparation Of sulphur
ought to be cure. This is corroborated
by the experience Of some farmers, who
have found teaspoonful Of superphos.
phate Of lime planted with the potatoes
prevented scabbiness. In this case it was
probably the excess Of sulphuric acid in
dissolving the bone that destroyed tho
fungus. Now the question is whether
land plaster. which is the sulphate Of
lime planted in the hill with potatoes,
will have the same effect. Who has tried
thisi II land plaster will do the busi-
ness il is certainly cheaper than super
phosphates. .--Amerioan Cuticat0r.
