A Baby Born With Teeth.

George Baker. a restaurant keeper,
living at 1913 Park avenue and doing
business at SO Madison street, is the
proud possessor OF baby girl who was
born with set of teeth. When little
Julia Orine Baker arrived in town a
day or two ago, very red, very bald
and weighing six ana quarter pounds
she Mortified the nurse and as founded
DIR. Phillips, the family physician, by
exhibiting an upper row of six white
front teeth and four perfect ones on
her lower gums. They were almost
fully developed and were hard enough
to use on the toughest beefsteak in ex-
istence. 1t might be thought that the
little stranger would develop accom-
plishments in keeping with the early
growth of teeth, and start out walk,
talk, sit up at the table, and perform
ever so many clever acts, and her fond
father doubtless gleefully imagined
that she would do something OF the
kind to keep up the record, but she
did none OF these. She can bite,
though, and that too, good and hard,
as her father can testify, she having
got his little finger in her mouth and
made him dance. However, the little
one shows remarkable signs of physi-
cal vigor, and at present she eats bread
sopped in milk and little particles OF
tenderly cooked chicken, feat which
is said to DO unprecedented in the
annals OF medical science.

The suggestion cannot be too fire.
quently offered to farmers as to the ex-
pedlency and proiitableness of raising
more poultry. The business, if pro-
perly conducted, would become one of
the most lucrative branches upon the
farm, especially when within easy

ought to be known to all American far
mers the extent to which the business
is prosecuted in France, where from a
careful estimate, it is found that the
annual sales of poultry and eggs last
year amounted to between so and sc
millions of dollars, which would, il
equally divided among the entire pop

dollars. When it is considered that
this is branch of farming industry
that can be managed entirely by
women and children, and re-
quires very little capital, the
wonder is that it is not prosecuted to
twice the extent it is. The chicken
house should be inexpensive, but

How to Make Money.

"One of the best opportunities for a
young fellow to make money quickly
in these days" said a self-made mil
lionaire to New York Tribune re-
porter recently, lis to rack his brains
until he has invented something useful
or that the public wants. A general
impression prevails that it takes a
skilled engineer or a man of phenom-
email inventive ability to develop any,
thing useful to manufacturers in this
age of machinery. But there is "a wide
field open to shrewd amateurs, so to
speak, to supply little articles of con-
venience to housekeepers, shopkeepers,
ETC., and designers can be had at rca-
sonable rates to execute the idea once
it is conceived. American women are
so accustomed to getting what they
want that anything which lightens
their labOrs in the household is sure to
go When was a boy on the farm
my mother used TO make me clean all
the dinner knives on Sunday with a
bath-brick. Now, scraping this brick
into fine powder without Jumps in il
used to be the most tedious part of the
whole work. The other. day | heard
of n man who has made a fortune by
supplying the trade with powdered
bath-brick in neat packages. You
know how difficult it is TO pick up
small coins from a wooden counter.
Yet the whole civilized world has
growled at and endured it since coins
were stamped and counters made, until
the other day young fellow invented
a rubber mat, with little bristles oil
rubber standing up thickly all over it.
Coins thrown on the mat are as easily
picked up as if they stood on edge.
The public was quick to appreciate it,
and the inventor need not work for a
living any longer"

If people persist in keeping cream
day after day, and adding skimming
once in a while, and keep an open
cream jar standing around, we don't
know as they can do any better than
to stir in the condensed odors once in
n while TO prevent rot in particular
spots, but they will never astonish the
world with the excellence of their butter
II they wish to make better butter, we
don't know how they can do it without
using better methods, and using the
new lights that shine.
Success in dairying does not SO much
depend on the high prices of butter
and cheese as it does on cheapening the
production Of feed. A rich soil ordi-
narily produces large crops; large crops
provide for an increased numper of
cows. An increased number of wcll-kept
cows furnish the means to buy the
heterogeneous feed to mix with the
cheap food produced on the farm, and
thereby make it profitable. 1t might
as well be admitted now that no man
is smart enough to make money keep
ing summer dairy on pasture grass
alone in summer, and mostly on
meadow hay in winter. These methods
belong to a past age and cheap land,
and are slowly passing away, and the
new and improved system Of darying
taking its place, substituting intclli-
gence in place of ignorance, profit in
place of loss.
A veteran creameryman of Iowa
raised II number of heifers from COM
mon cows, using first-classs Jersey

were three and four years old that
they made fifty per cent more butter

TO Stop Coughing.

The majority of coughs are unneces-
sary. Nature induces the cough for
the purpose of getting rid of some
foreign material in the throat, it may
be mucus, the result of catarrh, or
some foreign substance which has been
inhaled. A cough is not necessary
when not induced by the catarrh
named. Not few cases OF chronic
coughs are simply the result of habit.
The eminent DIR. Brown-Soquard onco
made the following suggestions about
how to stop cough: Coughing can
be prevented by pressing on the nerves
of the lips in the neighborhood Of tho
nose. A pressure there may prevent q
cough when it is beginning. Sneezing
may be stopped by the same mechan-
ism. Pressing also in the neighbor-
hood of the ear may stop coughing.
Pressing very hard on the top OF the
mouth inside is also a means of stop
ping coughing. And, may say, the
will has immense power, too. There
was French surgeon who used to say
whenever he entered the wards OF tho
hospital, The first person who coughs
will be deprived Of food to-day 1t
was exceedingly rare that patient
coughed then"

The question is sometimes asked
whether clover seed two years old is
good to SOW. At this age it will always
look somewhat faded; but if it has been
properly kept, there need be no fear
about every seed growing, if given a
fair chance. We have seen two-year-
old seed scattered accidentally on the
snow in early spring, and coming up as
thick as the hair on a dog. If left in
the ground, by being buried too deeply,
clover seed will often hold its vitality
many years. In localities where clover
seed is grown, more or less of the seed
is lost in harvesting. II the clover seed
stubble is plowed and sown with wheat,
that which dropped on the surface will
not grow the next spring, as it is buried
too deeply. But it will come up in
subsequent plowings for many years
afterward, showing that this seed has
retained its vitality undergro und in all
changes of temperature. Farmers
sometimes say of such land that sit is
natural to clover" or the clover "comes
in without seeding" Neither of these
phrases is strictly accurate, but the
land OF which this may be said is
always among the best 1t shows how
long a field remembers by bounteous
crops a season OF reasonable treatment.

MANY OF the recognized authorities
in civil as well as military circles say,
"The malarial disease is most danger
Gus in that the kidneys are most liable
to break down." Such men as Dacos-
ia, Atkinson and Pepper, professors in
our leading medical schools, and Sold
atom, Surgeon Gen. in the Russian
army, Woodward, Surg. Gen. in our
American army, speak OF malaria as a
direct complication of chronic Bright's
disease. The kidneys must be kept
free from disease and the poisonous
germs of malaria; they must act nor
mally in cleansing the blood, for Sc
gallons of it passes through them every
hour. People in malarial localities
recover from both the cause and effect
of malaria by using Warmers Safe
Cure. Every person, in the spring or
fall, who has either kidney disease OIL
malaria, should use Warmers Safe
Cure as precautionary measure.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Sharpen Them.

The easiest way to work hard on q
farm, if such an expression is allowa-
BILE, is to let the tools grow dull, writes
correspondent In the Practical Farm
er. In the olden time when grass was
cut with scythe and grain with era
die, the milestone was carried to the
field and kept where it could be con-
stantly used, and the ringing of the
stone on the steel was continually
heard. And with many tools, all are
particular to keep them sharp. One
sees the effect very quickly OF a dull
mower on the team, and hastens to the
stone TO sharpen it. The pull is SO
much harder and the work goes on so
much slower when the pillow IS dull
that no one would think of compelling
the team to pull on it. The work is so
much more easily done in these cases
that no one would think for moment
of letting the tools grow dull. Yet
some tools on II farm are never sharp
ened by the majority of farmers. How
many farmers do you know who keep the
hoe, the shovel and the spade sharp
II the edge of these is not as thick as
the thickness of the plate will allow,
and made harder to enter the ground
by having the edge turned up little,
it is in most cases because the tool has
not been used long enough to get the
first edge off. All this is folly. There
is no sense in wasting strength, no
matter how much Of it we possess, and
their is no easier way to save strength
than to spend little of it in sharpen
ing farm tools. Use dull hoe few
minutes and then sharpen it and see
how much more easily it works, and
then resolve at once to keep it fresh
and bright Beside these one other
tool on the farm is in the large ma
ority of cases dull as hoe.n How
many cultivators have you seen that
are sharpP 1t is as important to keep
the pillow sharp, not only on account of
the greater ease to the horses, but be-
cause the work done is so much better.
And so of every tool on the farm. Save
the men, save the horses, and do good
work esily by keeping them all sharp.
A dull implement is u sign of dull
brain. Keep them sharp.

the seed in too deeply. So, too, is har-

tho seed in too deeply. So, too, is har-
rowing the seed in. The best use Of
tide drill in spring is to put in grain on
fall-plowed land not previously plowed
in spring. 1t will leave much OF the
seed on the surface, but an after-har-
rowing will cover it us deeply as Is
necessary.
The soft, silky hair OF a good COW
has peculiar feel which practice alone
enables the expert buyer or breeder to
detect. There is also in the best ma
tive cows yellowish tinge about the
ears and around the bag suggestive Of
cream color. These are the marks Of
some of the best butter breeds. The
earliest emigrants to this country
brought from England and Holland the
best cows they could obtain, and those
countries had in those days as good
COWS as any locality in the world.
1t is not known by all farmers that
sows may be bred four or five days
after dropping their young. II not
bred promptly, then the SOW will not
be in heat again until after the pigs
are weaned again, six or eight weeks,
as the case might be. The loss of time
makes an important difference in the
value of the summer litter il one be de-
sired. II the breeding be delayed so
as to bring the pigs later than August
or September, the litter will be scarce
ly worth the cost of wintering. -Amer-
