The Eight Hour Movement.

ATLANTA. Ga, Nov. 19.-The Knights

question. Resolutions were adopted to the
effect that the matter of short hours should
be regulated by demand. The effect Of
this is to leave it with the local assemblies
to get as short hours as CONSTANT with the
different kinds of work. The Central

The Deadly Cigarette.

During a discussion in the American
association Prof. W. S. Dudley describ-
ed some experiments which he had
made on the injurious effects of cigar
cite smoking. He showed that they
were principally due to the manner of
smoking, and not to the impurities, as
is currently supposed. In smoking ci-
carettes, to get the desired effect, the
smoke is inhaled, that is to say, it is
simply drawn in to the mouth and
then expelled. In experiments on small
animals, in which they are caused to
breathe air containing cigarette smoke,
il was found that after a mouse had
smoked one and one-fourth cigarette
life was extinct. Examinations of its
blood showed that it had died from the
effects of the carbon monoxide, which
was contained in the smoke, and not
the nicotine and other volatile products
of the tobacco and paper.-New York
Graphic.

per hundred, and this is 100 per cent
protection from retailing. Last year l
had no trouble to get s. per hundred.
Some years ago we had it all our own
way, but now the larger part of the
vegetables sold in the cities are raised
at distance-so we have a great deal
of competition. Apples have been a
drug by the barrel, yet have had no
trouble in getting so cents per basket
at retail for all of them, which is about
81 per bushel. Take the milk business;
a'great many Of our farmers who once
attend the markets and made butter,
and were generally prosperous, have,
since going into selling milk, very little
to show for their work. The cows eat
up everything, and there are no pigs
for the winters meat and to sell;'
great deal goes to waste that can be
turned into cash by the marketman.
Now, when farmer sells milk in this
part of the country, he has to deliver
dry measure, and the retail milk dealer
sells his customer liquid measure; he
makes 100 per cent on first cost, besides
about II per cent in the difference
between the measures, and the farmer
also pays the freight. Some few of our
farmers have gone into retailing their
own milk.
One Of my neighbors, whose farm is
smaller than mine, attends the market
with butter, and he tells me that it pays
him better than selling milk; besides,
he has a great deal of stuff to sell, and
also sells for other farmers on commits
sion. He often has chance to buy
few sheep cheap and some nice fat
calves from those who do not attend
market One of our market-going
farmers told me that he has made as
high as So on an eight-weeks-old calf
that he bought alive and dressed and
retailed by the pound. have another
neighbor who has a good custom from
city people who have country resi-
dences about here. His stuff is always
nice and he charges accordingly. He
has informed me that it pays him, but
if he had done as the other farmers
here do would make nothing.
There are plenty of places in this
country, large towns, that would pay
an extra price for nice fresh stuff, and
it has been a mystery to me why some
of the enterprising ones have not avail
ed themselves of the opportunity to
make little money. The stuff that is
sold in the city, brought from distance
in barrels and boxes, does not show up
like the stuff that is raised near by, and
critical customers do not want it; still
it has an effect on prices with the gen.
eral buyer.

Wrecked by Opium.

The terrible sufferings which result
from the continued use of opium can
probably never be adequately realized
except by those who have actually ex-
perienced them. Two New York Trib-
une reporters, however, had these
effects illustrated to them short time
ago in manner they will not soon for
get. 1t was near midnight, and they
were on their way to their homes in
Brooklyn on Third avenue car. As
they passed the City Hall a young man
boarded the car and took a seat facing
them. He had bundle under his arm,
and as he sat down the reporters no.
ticed that he was slightly intoxicated.
A friend had assisted HIM on board,
and as the cars moved on called after
him. Good luck to you" The young
man, as soon as he had fairly seated
himself, leaned forward and, address,
ing one of the reporters, asked beg
pardon, sir, but does this car go to
Third avenue and Twenty-ffth street,
down toward Fort Hamilton?n On be-
ing assured that it did he gave kind
Of half laugh, half sob, and said: II
suppose you know from my question
where | am going!'
"Why no." was the reply; "unless
you are going down to the fort"
No, | am going down to the Inebri-
ates' Home to try and redeem myself
from the curse of drink and opium"
He was about twenty-seven or twenty
eight years of age, neatly dressed and
apparently person of intelligence.
His eyes were bloodshot and had an
uncertain stare and his hands trembled
violently. He would talk for a few
moments in rational manner and
then break off, shuddering and gaz-
ing about him with glare like that OF
a wild beast at bay. Then recovering
himself with an effort he would contin-
ne his talk where he had broken off.
He said that he had begun the use OF
opium about two years ago and had
used it almost constantly since. For
several weeks he hG/ been on an UNI
usually long debauch. The beginning
of his trouble, he said, was drink.
Whisky and other liquors had ceased
to be strong enough to satisfy his crav-
ing, and he had begun to use opium rs
an additional stimulant.
1T is the opium that has cursed me
and made life hell on earth" he said,
''but it was whisky that led to it. |
have tried often to give up opium and
to redeem myself, but the tortures !
suffered were frightful. 1t would seem
as though hundred devils were fight
ing in my brain for possession of me,
and in despair | have again and again
returned to its use. l am going down
to the Home now for three months and
will make a desperate effort to make a
man of myself again. If can't do il
there / can see no hope ahead. / know
the struggle will be terrible one, and
that shall suffer the tortures of the in
fernal regions, but it is my only hope.
! used to be well off and had a fair pros.
pect of useful and successful life, but
it is pretty near a wreck now"
This was not said connectedly, as il
has been written, but was frequently
intercepted at times when he seemed
to lose control of himself, and when
his appearance and his actions were at
once pitiful and terrible to witness.

Farm Notes.

Lambs like cotton-Seed meal, but 1t
should be fed sparingly.
Early feeding is the most desirable
for fowls. The morning meal is i'm
portant and is also best relished.
Never use stale eggs for nest eggs.
Nest egg gourds are best. A single
stale egg may ruin your reputation.
The young stock, as well as the fe-
males used for breeding purposes, de-
mand a diet rich in the elements that
tend to produce bone and flesh,
He who shears in the fall should deal
lightly with the weaker members of the
flock; else in the spring their wool may
not be long enough to pull"
All fertilizers should be in as fine
condition as possible, for upon the de-
gree of tineness depends, to a great eX-
tent the solubility of the ingredients.
When you order trees the coming
spring get those that are not over one
year old, as they will root better and
grow faster than those that are larger.
The farmer who is expecting his
mares or COWS to come in should not
fail to supply a liberal amount of clover
Cor clover and timothy hay), reducing
the grain food.
The peach or plum tree, when plant
ed the coming spring, should be put in
the poultry yard. 1t will be partially
protected from insects and will grow
rapidly.
In the feeding of animals it should
not be forgotten that the manure is to
he valued as the feeding is poor or rich.
Poor food makes poor manure; rich
food makes rich manure.
Always have cutters to carry off the
water from the caves Of barns and
stables. 1t prevents dampness to a
certain extent, and will enable you to
have a cistern full of water at all sea-
SOps.
An excellent location for beekeep-
er is said to be near a canning factory,
as the growth of all kinds of vegetables
and green crops is thus encouraged,
and some times lasts till late in the
season.
Many diseases Of hogs are due to in
breeding. The conditions under which
our improved breeds of swine are kept
render a change to new blood" every
year as indispensable for health and
vigor.
Mixed farming permits of greater
variety of crops, more stock, more ma
nure, larger yields and lessons the loss
in case of drought or fluctuations in the
markets. 1t is not safe TO depend on a
single crop for profit.

Apply with a sponge.
A sure and safe way to remove
grease spots from silk is to rub the

friction will soon draw out the grease.
Salt pork sprinkled with red pepper
is excellent for sore throat.
Marble should always be washed
with ammonia and water, rather than

Treatment of Horses.

Though horses are often injured or
destroyed by being suffered to drink
too much cold water when warm, a
much greater number have been ruin
ed by giving grain at improper sea-
sons. 1t has generally been supposed
has just come into the stable very warm
and sweaty, but what evidence have we
that they have suffered from this cause?
Do men fear to eat Immediately after
quitting the scythe or chopping wood?
Horses will not eat much Immediately
on stopping after hard drive. What
reason, then, to suppose they have ever
suffered from this cause? 1t is violent
exercise Immediately after eating that
ruins horses and causes distress in all
animals that are put to it. And though
every man of reflection knows violent
exercise Immediately after eating,
causes pain in his own stomach, yet
many will give horses the most solid
food just before commencing the labors
of the day. We have seen stage
drivers, who have ordered meal
and water given to their horses, on
stopping for a short time to rest and
is it surprising that some of the horses
fell dead?" On opening the stomachs
of some Of these horses, the meal was
found in hard cakes, undigested. VIC
lent exercise probably prevented the
proper action of the gastric juice on
the food. Men of sound understanding
on subjects in general conduct most
foolishly in regard to feeding their
horses while on jOurneys-to hear them
order grain to be given just before
starting in the morning instead of Civ
ing the heartiest portion of their food
at night-when they would have time
to lie down and to be comfoGed instead
OF tormented by the rich repast This
is done by practiced travelers-shd
they fancy they have managed adroitly
to get as much as possible of the stable
keepers hay and grain into the horses
stOmach-whichr reminds me of the for
eigner who would not inform the land
lord that he had found chicken in
one of the eggs set on the table for
his breakfast, fearing a greater price
would be charged for what he consid-
cred an unusually rich repast.
Men who give their horses no grain
except on extraordinary occasions, will
administer dose just before starting
for days ride. They would not give
1t the night preceding, lest iJs virtues
should all evaporate before morning.
Such practices ought to be ridiculed if
we cannot reason people out of them.
We have tried feeding in various ways,
and have come to the conclusion that
the best and heartiest food should be
given at night, and this should be very
soon after the horse is put in the stable.
He will then soon eh enough to satisfy
his appetite and will have time to lie
down and rest; his food will serve DUR
ing the whole Of the next day, and he
will need but little batting till he stops
again at night
Farm horses that are never driven
rapidly require far less attention than
those that are urged to the top of their
speed, and those which are never
driven faster than walk will live and
be useful third longer than those
horses used in coaches. 1t is fast driv.
ing and high feeding that shortens the
days of horses usefulness. New Eng

And will chide thee, grown too bold,

No sunset but her cheek
o Moon, that came up in the east,
