THE GREAT CROP OF THE SEASON.

Weeds are the great crop of the season.
Every farmer should know all the weeds
on his farm, and their manner of growth,
whether they are annual or last more
than one year. He harvests his grain be-
fore it is ripe, knowing that the process
of maturity will go on, but he often does
not think that many weeds, if cut soon
after they have lowered, will ripen theiI
seeds as well as if high on the ground,
and these weeds if thrown on the manure
heap or into the pig-sty, will afford an
abundant supply of weeds to continue
the trouble. Keep sharp eye for any
new or strange weed that appears on the
farm. If need be, extra exertions may be
made to prevent it from spreading. The
safest way to dispose of weeds is to
burn them. Make a small fire of any
wood, throw on the weeds few at q
time. It is astonishing what an amount
of green stuff may be burned in this way,
and quite quantity of ashes will be left
which should be spread. They will bene.

Work of the Mound Builders,

Professor William McAdams tho
archaologist, has returned from another
excursion along the Illinois river bluffs,
where he spent several days in exploring
large ancient mound near the mouth OF
Otter Creek, in Jersey County, Ill. In
the mound, which was forty feet long,
fifteen feet wide, and eight or ten feet
high, were some interesting relics. II
seemed to have been burial place for an
cient warriors, for most of the remains
were pierced with stone arrow points
One arrow point still remains imbedded
in vertebra, another in the skull, and
still others in the leg and arm bones.
The professor is greatly interested in these
arrow points, which are different from
those found in this vicinity generally.
These stone arrow points are evidently Of
eastern origin, and are like those used by
the warlike Iroquois of New York. Mar.
quette, the Jesuit explorer, gives in ac-
count of battle in this vicinity between
the Illinois and Iroquis. The Illinois
were nearly annihilated, and the remain.

made predatory excursions across the

there is a sort of data to be found here

The Malaria Micr0be.

The scientists are still studying this
dangerous little microbe, which annually
kills its millions of victims, and which
has been particularly fatal in the United
States and the Mississippi Valley. 1t is
highly probable that their study will re-
suit in shedding more light on this SUBJ
ject and, therefore, in saving many lives
but the facts already determined are of
great advantage to the world and ought
to assist it in materially reducing the
mortality from malaria. 1t is proved,
for instance, that malaria is due to a mi
crobe taken into the system frequently
from drinking bad (malaria or swampy)
water; that its existence in any district
can easily be determined by scientist
that the malaria of district can be de-
stroyed by cultivation, and often by
hedging or planting trees, and that
quinine will destroy the poison if taken
in time. We are nearing the complete
solution of the malaria problem, as we
have solved that of smallpox and probably
that of hydrophobia. .-Neeo Orleans Times

owl ceases at once it is a sign that the
threatened danger has been warded of
for a time, but if it continues there is
weeping and wailing in the home of the
clay eater. The bowling of dog at
night is also an omen of i'll luck, but it is
not a sign of some approaching fatality
unless it is in answer to the hoot of an
owl.
The clay eaters of Winston County do
not number over 100 families, it is said,
and they live in a sparsely-settled region
remote from the civilizing influences of
towns, schools or churches. OF these
five hundred or more people less than
fifty have ever seen a town or railroad
train. OF modern inventions they have
never dreamed, and they would ridicule
the man who told them the world was

they cling to their old traditions and
superstitions, but in time they will dis
appear before the onward march OF

Telegraphing to a Moving Train.

The idea Of telegraphing to moving
trains had its inception as early as 1858;
but of the many forms suggested all were
impracticabie in that they involved ame-
chanical contact between the train and
the stationary conductor. Obviously, it
is not feasible to make ciI1uit, either
through sliding arm projecting from
car, or by so modifying the track of
railroad that its rails may be utilized as
electric conductors. But that this ma.
be done by induction there can be no
doubt, for its feasibility has been shown
in daily practice upon the lines of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad for the past two
years. A moving train may now receive
messages passing along a neighboring
wire almost as readily as New York COM
municates with Philadelphia by ordinary
methods. Nor does the great speed of
the train interfere with successful COM
munication. If it could attain the velo-
city of meteor, signals upon the wire
would fly across the intervening space,
inductively impressing themselves upon
the metal roof of the cars, with the same
certainty as if the cars were motionless
upon side track; and 1t is not even es-
sential that the train and the line be sep
arated by clear air-space, for non-con-
Quoting or magnetic substances may
be interposed without impeding trans
mission. During the memorable blizzard
of March, 1888, the capacity Of the sys-
TEN, in this particular, was subjected to
an instructive test on the Lehigh road

These plants bear close relation to
others of which hay is made, or which
are used for feeding either by soiling or
by pasturing. The figures show very
clearly that upon rich soil pasturage yields
the largest proportion of nutriment which
the crops afford, and when the pasture is
kept in good condition and is eaten close
ly so as to produce continuous succession
of young and tender herbsge, the most
nutriment is procured from the crop.
But when hay is made it is necessary
to choose time when the largest gener-
al average of value can be secured-that
is, when the most actual nutriment can
be obtained. AS the crops progress
towards maturity the quantity increases,
while the quality depreciates. But guam
tity increases faster. than the value de-
, creases, so that time must be chosen
when tho whole crop is worth the most.
This is when the clover is in full bloom,
when fertile field presents view as of
carpet of rich purple and green over
the whole surface. At this time the
weight of the crop is the greatest. Last
season square rod Of clover at this stage
was cut and weighed Immediately; the
weight of the green clover was 1872
pounds-equal to ten and one-half ton,
per acre, or about two and one-half tons

left uncut adjoining in two plots; one
cut two weeks later when the heads were
brown, weighed 9S5 pounds; the
other, when the heads were ripe, weighed
"a pounds only. This test showed that
while the quality deteriorated the quanti-
ty lessened very considerably. It needs
no proof to show that the partly grown
crop would have been much less in guam
tity than that fully grown. So that the
full bloom of the crop is the time whenit
should be cut, not only for clover but all
the grasses and fodder crops as we'll.
Many years experience in soiling and pas
turing cows from early spring to late sum-
mer has proved that the richest milk and
the finest butter is produced from young
herbage of all kinds, and that when the
feeding grows late considerable help

Is required to MAINTAIN the product in

An Ancient Society Of Pail. Bearers.

While President Carnot was visiting
Bethune during his recent tour through
the north of France, he observed that a
certain society, formed of the leading
people of the city, had prominent
place at all the ceremonials and in the
professions. The society is called "Les
CharitabTes, 4" and its members wear, on
public occasions, "a uniform composed as
follows: Black knee breeches, court
coat, with short mantle and cooked hat.
Their principal function is to act as
pall-bearers at funerals and to- bury the
dead. The society was founded in the
eleventh century, and is always recruited
among deputies, lawyers, notaries and
journalists. - Times Democrat.

FOOD FOE YOUNG CHICKS.

In addressing a society not long ago,
Mr.. Felch, IN expert poultry raiser, spoke
of the best food for the youngsters in this
style; The best food for young chicks
till two weeks old is to make bread by
the use of sour milk, salt, saleratus and
molasses, out of a meal composed of
twenty pounds of corn, fifteen pounds of
oats, ten pounds of barley, ten pounds of
wheat bran, grind and mix, bake, and
crumble into scalded milk, giving no
water (the milk is all the liquid needed).
There is seldom death in the brood if
so fed. When older than two weeks the
same can be scalded and fed for soft
food, giving at night cracked corn, mill
let, barley and wheat. When twelve
months old the chicks so raised will be
found to be nearly one pound heavier
than chicks raised in the old way.

COWS LOSING THEIR CUDs.

Cows do not CLOSE their cud" for the
simple reason that they do not have any
SUCH thing, and the so-called chewing of
the cud is merely the mastication of the
ordinary food. Every ruminating animal
has more than one stomach and the COW
has four; the first is much larger than the
other three. The first stomach or paunch
lies on the left side, and receives the
coarse and bulky food as gathered and
swallowed by the COW. When this food
has become somewhat macerated it is
forced up into the mouth where it is thor
oughly masticated Or rechewed, and this
operation is termed "chewing the cud.' -
Cattle usually chew the cud when at rest.
Hence the necessity of allowing oxen a
longer period of rest than horses when
engaged in steady heavy work. When
ever an OK or COW has fever or other all
ment they cease to ruminate or chew the
cud, and those who are not familiar with
the internal structure of these animals are
inclined to think they have swallowed or
lost something which should be restored,
hence the very common idea among farm
ers that an artificial cud should be made
and given to the COW. Sometimes a
piece of fat pork is forced down the
throat, wad of grass, Jumps of bread,
and other useless things are given to en-
able the COW to regain what she has
never lost. In case of fever or indiges-
tion dose of Epson salts, half pound
to pound, dissolved to quart of water
will usually prove beneficial and restore
the animal to heslth.-NeW York Sun.

The Two Glasses of English Lawyers

In England there are two classes of
lawyers, the one being called barristers,
the other attorneys. When case is to
be tried, the attorney who has taken it
from the client gets up the evidence and
prepares the papers; in short, does all the
work necessary to bring it into court.
There the attorney retains barrister to
conduct the case in court. Hence, bar
risters rank higher than attorneys. We
often see the letters @. G. written after
the name of a barrister. The title,
Queens counsel, for which the letters
stand, is an honorary one, given to an
eminent practitioner at the bar. One
possessing it is entitled to wear a silk
gown. A Queen's- counsel cannot act as
junior counsel in a case, and as he cannot
always be the leader, he sometimes finds
4 his title an inconvenience. The Judges
in England are chosen from Queens
counsel. .--Neao York Dispatch

1t is highly extravagant to use low
priced mower oil.
The WyGndotte fowls are highly
priced as winter layers.
Now weed your strawberry bed and ap-
ply q dressing of decomposed manure.
Better feed the inferin. fruit and vege-
tables to the hogs Aac send them to
market.
Cut the timothy when the
clover is prime. yait for the
timothy.
Use the cultivator as often and as long
as you can. Every time you do it you
kill weeds.
Provide a place of shelter for fowls
where they can be kept dry during hard
rain-storms.
The care that will raise good crop of
cabbages will raise a crop of delicious
caulifowers.
Many practical fruit growers favor
pruning in midsummer, as the wounds
then heal most rapidly.
Little pigs thrive wonderfully on oats
fed whole. Let them have separate run
where they can eat them.
With the present standard of popular
taste, the very highest price may be OBJ
tanned for ensilage butter.
The character of the milk is largely in
the pasture field. If the COW eats badly
favored weeds, she will give badly fla
vored milk.
The weeds can be kept down much
easier if crop is kept growing than if
the land is left unoccupied. Put in the
second crop.
Ensilage in connection with grain feed
will make the cheapest butter, and butter
which may obtain more than the highest
market price.
Pigs can be reared so as to have seven
ty-five per cent. of lean meat in them by
feeding bran and middlings. Skim milk
may also be fed.
None too much rain for weeds, because
if one kind find the condition unfavor.
able, dozen other kinds have exactly
what they require.
Peter Henderson thinks every farmer
should have few acres of root crops on
his farm and he will find them invalu-
able for feeding stock during the win
ter.
Parsnips are very nutritious, and in
the islands of Jersey and Guernsey are
considered excellent roots for dairy
cows and are extensively grown for that
purpose.
p. H. Jacobs affirms in RurGJ New
Yorker, that atpoultry droppings applied to
the soil are not nearly so valuable as they
are estimated. He also disapproves of
the common advice to keep them dry,
and says they are rendered more avail
able as plant food by keeping them wet.
According to A. W. Cheever the best
time for cutting grass with machine is
after A o'clock in the afternoon. Any
single-team farmer can cut all the grass
after 4 o'clock that he can handle the
next day before that hour, and all hay
should go into the barn by chat time
every afternoon.
A Florida orange grower claims that
if the tap root of the tree is cut off and
