Thorough Preparation for Spring
Planting.

There is no work OF moro Importance
with the spring crops than that OF thor
ough preparation of the soil before
planting the seed, and especially is this
the case with cultivated crops.
II is much easier to prepare the soil
in a thoroughly good condition before
planting the seed than afterward. IL
is an item with cultivated crops to be-
gin the cultivation as soon as possible.
Weeds can be destroyed much more
readily and more thoroughly while
they are young and tender than after
they get good start to grow. In a
majority OF cases if the soil is rough
and cloddy the work of cultivating
must be deferred until after the plants
have made a good growth.
With the soil we'll prepared the cul-
tivation can begin with the harrow,
and this will aid materially to get the
soil in a good filth and destroy the
weeds that may have started up. If
the conditions of the soil will admit,
it is good plan, usually, to begin the
cultivation by narrowing thoroughly
within week after planting. In many
cases second narrowing can be given
after week. and, unless the season is
very unfavorable, by this time the
| plants will have made q sufficient
growth to commence using the cult
| vator.
With most spring crops it is an item
TO plant in good season. The early
| planted crops, other things being
equal, will give much the best yield,
but at the same time early cultivation
is necessary in order to get strong,
vigorous growth and the soil must be
well prepared before planting, in order
to make it possible to begin cultiva-
ton in good season. 1t is better to
defer planting day or two and spend
the time in the work of preparation,
than to plant the seed and depend upon
working the soil into good filth after
wards
The soil ought not to be disturbed
until after it is sufficiently dried out to
work into good filth. 1t rarely pays
to commence working the soil until it
is dry. Sometimes it may pay to pillow
when wet, but it is rather the excep-
ton. Some help can occasionally be
given by providing good drainage, SC
that the surface water will run oil rap
idly.
Usually land plowed in the fall or
early winter, if well drained, will be
ready to pillow much earlier than if left
undisturbed until spring, and will gen
orally work into good filth more
readily. But it will pay to harrow and
drag, or roll, if necessary, in order tC
get the soil in good filth before
planting, and usually in proportion to
the way this is done the less will be
the work of giving clean, thorough
cultivation. Plan ahead, SO that this
work can be done in good season ant
the seed be planted early.-S Loui

HERE AND THERE.

The early killed is the easily killed
weed, and the weed that robs the crop
the least.
One of the advantages with PclIin
ducks is that they can be raised with
very little water.
"A few drops OF tincture OF iron or
very small piece of copperas in tho
drinking-water of the poultry promotes
health.
"A diversity Of crops distributes
work, receipts and expenses more
evenly through the year and through
the years.
Here is good cure for bee sting.
Take equal parts Of soda and vinegar
and rub it on the place stung while the
stuff is fomenting. 1t will give relief
Immediately.
Peach and plumb trees are both
less liable to disease when grown in
the poultry yard. They will make a
better growth and at the same tihie
afford good shade for the poultry.
The annual honey product Of Amer

Young cattle which have been win

The Lost Atlantis.

For many centuries there has been a ira
dition of long lost island called Atlantis.
The Greek geographers located it in the
Atlantic Ocean, west Of the northwest part
of Africa aud the Pillars of Hercules. The
sea kings of Atlantis are said to have in-
vaded Europe and Africa, and to have been
defeated by the Atheniaus.
All the legends agree that it was a vast
island, of inexhaustible resources, and in
habited by race of superior people. For
ages this island has existed only in legend
airy lore. But now, when the light of mod
ern research is turned full upon the investi-
cation, behold the lost Atlantis at our very
doors.
SO the bigoted medical fraternity goes
cropping about in the dark, seeking for an
Atlantis or Esculapius, when if they would
investigate, they would behold the lost At
lantis at their very door. With their an
Gent text book, a case of physic a paper in
their waistcoat giving them license to prac-
tice, experiment and dose with their injuri-
GUS drugs, cautsrize and perform unneces-
sary acts, with no person or laws to hold
them accountable, they continue their big
oted, unjustihed practice, staring into va
cancy, and imagining that they see in them
selves 40 Escuapius.
Wrapped in ancient bigotry, they are cry
Ing out against all improvements that have
been made in medical science. They de-
nounce any new idea advanced by layman
or an opposition school as fraud.
Whyl
Because humanity will not be benefitedl
Not at all, but because their specialism did
not make the discovery.
Yet they concede that there is no remedy
known to their materia medica that will
cure an advanced kidney malady and the
| diseases arising therefrom although many
Of them know from browning proof that
| Warmers Safe Cure will-but unscrupu'
| lously treat symptoms and call them dis
| ease, when in reality they know they are
| out symptoms.
A few of the more honest physicians ad-
nit that Warmers Safe Cure is valuable
remedy, and great blessing to mankind,
but say, in so many words, when asked why
they do not prescribe it, that they can not
according to their code.
Nevertheless, the world is fast becoming
satisfied that the cure for kidney and liver
diseases, in whatever form or condition, ha.
been discovered, and there is no doubt bu
| what Warmers Safe Cure and its fame vii
live long after such bigotry as we have in
stanced is dead and buried.
Tho late eminent physician and writer, DR.
J. G. Holland, published IN "Scribner'
Monthly" and showed his opinion of sucl
bigotry, and no doubt was satisfied that AT
lantis might possibly be discovered in u pro
prietary medicine, when he wrote editorial
ly, as follows:
Nevertheless, it is a fact that many o
the best proprietary medicines of the da.
were more successful than many of the ply
sicians, and most of them, it should be re
membered, were first discovered or used il
actual medical practice. When, however
any shrewd person, knowing their virtue
and foreseeing their popularity, secures ant
advertises them, then, inthe opinion of tn
bigoted, all virtue went out of them"

TIE NILE cRIER.
How He Announces tho Inundatlon TO the
Citizens of Cairo.


Citizens of Cairo.
When the inundation approaches the
capital at the end of June or
the beginning of July-the Nile criers
begin their work. These criers are
men whose business it is TO call out,
or rather to recite, before the houses
of those who wish it, how much the
Milo has risen during the last twenty
four hours. The Oriental does every
thing, no matter what it is, gravely,
slowly, with much dignity and ver-
bosity, and is never chary of his time
or breath. Even the form of his
greeting in the street is complicated
ceremony of words and notions, which
usually takes some minutes to per-
form. And in the same way this an
nouncement of the rivers rise, which
seems to us such a simple matter, is a
most serious affair. The day before
the crier begins his talk, he goes
through the streets accompanied by a
boy. whose part it is to act as chorus,
and to sing the responses at the proper
moment The crier sings:
God has looked gracously upon the fields"
R,spoAse: 'Ohl day OF glad tidings."
ITO morrow begins the announcement"
Response: MAY 1t be followed by success
Before the crier proceeds to give the
information so much desired, he in
tones with the boy a lengthy alternat'
ing chant in which he praises God,
imploring blessings on the Prophet and
all believers, and on the master OF the
house and all his children. Not until
all this has been carefully gone
through does he proceed to say the
Nile has risen so many inches. This
ceremony is carried on until the
month of September. when the river
has reached its eliminating point, aud
the crier, as bringer of such good
news, never fails to claim his ''bak
sheesh' or drink money-sometimes
humbly, and sometimes, too, yer,
imperiously and demanding. English

THE selection of seed is a very important
matter Whether Que imports fresh seed
from another farm and district or continues
to use homegrown potatoes, a selection OF

benefits more from frequent change OF

commcndable on account of the increasing
liability to disease.

1T is well known that Sir John Lubbock
has shown how long insects may live when
kept out of harms way. The greatest age
vet attained by any insect, so far as is
known, is that reached by a queen of an

1883, when she must have been nearly fif-
teen years old. Another queen of the same
species died at the advanced age OF over

KAMAS KINKS.

Rain, snow and blow have prevailed for
the last three days.
Flowing will soon be commenced, unless
the storm continues.
A petition has been in circulation this
week, asking for the removal of the county
seat from Coalville to Park city. AS Coal
vile is in the central portion and Park city
on the utmost limits of Summit county the
removal will scarcely prove an advantage
to the people at large.
The new form THE HERALD has assumed
is worthy of great commentator. Every
body is charmed and the circulation in
Kamas will no doubt increase, though it has
always been the favOrite paper here.
Mr. Charles Olsen, of Sanpete, who had
two of his fingers sawed off at Lambert's
sawmill a couple of weeks ago, has gone
home for good care.
The infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. Padfeld
died yesterday morning of Group. The
little thing was one of a pair of twins, and
at the time of its birth, three months ago,
weighed three pounds.
On Thursday last word was brought to
Kamas, that Mrs Samantha Woodland, wife
of Charles Woodland, had died that morning
at her home in Woodland ward of pneu-
monia. She leaves husband nearly wild
with grief and two small children.
The funeral services of Miss Ada V.

clemency of the weather the hall was
crawded and large concourse of friends
and relatives followed the remains to their

AS the sun was setting beyond the
Oqui1rh mountains on Friday, the clouds
broke away and the landscape about this
city appeared most beautiful The streaks
of sunshine and shadows across the Utah
lake, the green grass of the valley and up
the variegated face of the Wasatch noun
tains east of town to the new-fallen snow
on the peaks, which was partially hidden
above the clOuds-the scenery was grand
beyond description. The mountains seemed
to assume an awful grandeur, with dark
clouds hanging over the craggy peaks and
gloomy chasms, which, with streaks of
bright sunshine, made up a variety of
scenery nowhere else to be found, and
which no artist could paint or reproduce on
canvas.
The real estate transactions during the
past week have been numerous, though but
little said about it. A couple Of gentlemen
from Nebraska, with the aid of friend
looked over the chances, bought some farm
lands and city lots and went back for their
fBmilies. Such quiet deals are constantly
going on, though the real estate agents
seem to be doing but very little business.
There are, seemingly, two classes of real es-
tate agents-the one with properties for
sale, and the other to buy for their employ
ers. This latter class do not advertise in
the papers or let their business be known.
while they quietly look over the situation
and determine the most desirable invest
ments for their employers. In this way
