The oueen of siam.

The Queen OF siam, writes +. q. Carpen-
ter. is not far from 20 years of age: she
rules the harem and she is a very pretty
Siamese girl Her complexion is a ligh
brown and her oily black hair, about two
inches long, stands straight up and is
cnmbed backward from fair open fore
head. She mas beautiful eyes, wears dIa-
mond earrings and a diamond pendant at
her neck and her fingers are covered with
precious stones. She smokes cigarettes, as
does also the king, and she chews the betel
nut, making her teeth as black as jet and
her lips stick ont. The Siamese say that
any dog can have white teeth. but that il is
only those who are rich enough TO afford
the betel nut who can have black ones.
Black teeth are sign OF beauty here, and
all the ladies of the harem cnew and smoke.

One MANS idea of Women.

Mr.. Grant All IN prOpounds IN the Forum
a new view of "Woman's Place in Nature. :"
''The males" he says. ''are the race; the
females are merely the sex told off to recruit
and produce il. All that is distinctively
human is man; the field. the ship, the mine,
the workshop; all that is truly woman is
merely reproductive; the home, the nur-
sery, the school room" This very neces-
sity for telling of at least considerable
number of the women for the aTduous
duties of human maternity, prevents the
possibility of woman as such ever being
really IN anv deep sense the race IL is
human to till, to build, u navigate. 10
manufacture; and these are the functions
that fall upon man" 1.-The males have
built up human civilization and have made
the great functlOnally acquired gains in
human faculty, while the females have
acted as mere passive transmitters of these
male acquisitions"

The Best Dairy sInte and the Best Dali
~ States.

Referring to the appropriation that New
York has lately made in behalf of the dairy
interests of that state, Jason Jones says in
the National Stockman that he is "glad to
see the state Of New York recognize the
fact that dairying is her chief industry, and
so make liberal appropriations for the edu-
cation Of dairymen, and also establish a
few good dairy schools A state that
milks nearly 500, goo cows, which return on
an average only S27 per COW, needs edu-
cation, he says but he asks, ''Can Ohio
and Pennsylvania show better cows and a
larger income from them = So much has
been said about the statistics of the New
York diaries, lately published, by which it
is made to appear that one-half the cows
kept in that state do not pay for their keep
ing, that possibly some may have been led
to believe that New York is "a poor state for
dairying and has poorer cows than OF her
states. The contrary is the fact New
York is, next to Vermont, the best dairy
state in the Union. 1t produces about one
half of all the cheese made in the United
States, and in this product of the dairy is
far ahead of any other state, not even ex
cepting Vermont. But Vermont beats
New York, as well as every other state, in
the production Of butter, the annual prod
uct in this state averaging III pounds to
each farm, and in New York, which is the
next highest, 464 pounds to each farm.
Vermont produces an average of 111 mounds

COrn-FOdder for sheep.

There is no way of disposing of corn fod-
der which affords me more satisfaction
than to give it to sheep. A flock of weth-
ers will work cheaper than any cutting box
and board themselves. What they leave on
good, bright fodder is not worth bothering
about-husks, leaves, tassel, sheaths, even
the soft upper ends of the stalks, are con
sumed Ny custom was to put one bundle
in a Slated rack twelve or fourteen feet
long, dividing it into halves and laying the
tip end of each half toward the outer end
of the rack This enables every sheep to
get fair portion of the foliage, not being
restricted to either butts or tips If more
than this amount is put into a rack at once
the sheep cannot penetrate it and pick clean
the centre of the mass. The stalks are
thrown out every day, and the straw and
oats being scattered over them fill up the
interstices and make, under the constant
trampling of the sheep, a solid bed which
retains the liquid manure. In the spring
this is covered over thick with straw and
left until fall 10 rot. 1t is then perfectly
brittle and easy to handle. like this plan
better than that of Mr.. Brown, who turns
in hogs to reduce the mass to a state of fine
ness during the winter. 1t always suited
me better to haul out manure in the fall
than in the spring, anyhow. -Stephea Pour
erS IN Ohio Farmer.

Reported High Prices for Trstting
stock Horses.

At a recent sale Of trotting horses and hor-
SEES from trottng stock in New York city,
j3 were reported sold the first day at an
average price Of $2313 per head The sec
ond day 81 were sold at an average price
Of Sl30j each. The total amount Of sales
for the first day was Sl2j, 500; for the sec.
ond, S14,115. Only four or five out Of the
whole lot were sold for less than $500 each
In one case at least the owner refused to
accept the highest bid, which was only the
trihe Of 81, 100 for FLY. Afterwards, as
the report of the sale goes, he was publicly
offered $4,000, which was also refused, but
for anything that We positively know to the
contrary a bona fde offer of 81 600, or per
haps considerably less than that would buy
the colt A colt two years old was reported
sold for $2G, 900, very good price to start
with for such a youngster, but if by agree
ment of parties S2j, 600 was to be paid in
confederate bonds and the remainder in
cash, it was still good price. There are
no doubt rich fools in all the large cities,
who buy high priced horses and who accept
without question the news paper reports
of sales with the prices named In many
cases, often when this class are the buyers,
the sales may be genuine and the prices re

Cold weather n Tonic.

Except to the consumptive in the second
or third stage of the disease, the asthmatic
sufferer from bronchial catarrh, the ex-
IRENE aged and very feeble invaids, cold
weather comes as friend and not "a an
enemy. The natives of tropical and sub
tropical regions cannot compare with the
inhabitants of temperate climes in robust
ness of body or vigor of intellect The
changes of season and weather are natures
means of preventing stagnation of the vi
tai functions. The Alternative effect of these
vicissitudes of temperature and weather is,
when we consider the vast number of peo-
pie affected, and the extent of their intlu-
ence upon the vital economy, beyond esti-
mate The eliminative influences of the
warm summer months which occasion Wig
orous disintegration Of the tissues and the
bunting of the taste for hesh-meats and
greasy fats, is Of inestimable advantage to
the system, while the cold weather tonng-
mp, which Immediately follows, is natures
application of the very principle employed
by the wise physician, who first treats his
plethoric patient to a course of Turkish
baths, and then subjects him to a series #

The Commercial Fertilizer.

In reply to the question, Can the fertility
of a soil be kept up by the use Of CONNER
cial fertilizers alone the Rural New York
er answers Yes, there is not the shadow
of a doubt about it. The fact that farmer
A or farmer b has used fertilizers without
any increase in his crops is no argument
against their use. Did You ever use farm
manure without any increase in the crops
Do not forget-no living soul can contro-
vert the statement-that chemical analyses
show-prove positively farm manure
is but a different form of home produced
commercial fertilizer. Concentrate your
farm manure 10y slowly rotting it for many
years and the product is precisely the same
as the commercial article in substance
