SLAUGHTER, N. D., June 27.-[Special.
1t has been learned that the TRIBUNE
agent vas trying to break a pony some
time ago and was thrown off and broke
his stovepipe. Well, if he did he can buy
another-but the hat is all right and so is
the man. Jonas L., or rather Willie's cor
respondent needn't feel sorry for the TR1B-
N agent. He is all right, and feels proud
of being agent for the'best paper in North
Dakota.
The citizens of Ecklund and Grass Lake
townships are full of hope and courage.
They have great faith in the future of this
section and intend to do all they can to i'm
prove and get this region settled.

The grass is growing nicely. 1t is from

trouble in getting hay enough for all the
stock IN this part of the country. There
mas never been so much grass on the prai-

Animal Worship.

Among primitive peoples all animals
are supposed to be endowed with souls,
which in many cases have formerly ami
mated human beings. Hence likeness
is often recognized between an animal
and some deceased friend, and the
animal is addressed as the person would
have been, and honored with kind Of
worship. Many tribes call themselves by
the name of and even derive their pedi-
gree from some animal. Its cries be-
come the omens of the tribe, and thus
originate the divination and augury of
more civilized nations. In the modern
world the most civilized people among
whom animal worship vigorously survives
lie within the range of Brahminism.
Here the sacred COW is not merely to be
spared; she is as deity worshiped and
bowed to daily by the pious Hindoo.
silva is incarnate in Hanuman, the
monkey god. The divine king of birds,
Garuda, is Vishnu's vehicle, and the
forms of fish and boar and tortoise
assumed in the avatar legends of Vishun.
Perhaps no worship has prevailed more
widely than that of the serpent. 1t had
its place in Egypt and among the
Hebrews; in Greece and Rome; among
the Celts and Scandinavians in Europe
in Persia and India; in China and
Thibet; in Mexico and Peru, and in
Africa, where it still fourishes as the
state religion in Dahomey. Brooklyn

wHoopING COUGH,

A physician Of well-known repute, talk.
ing about whooping cough, says it is a
contagious disease peculiar to childhood,
although it occasionally attacks adults.
1t is spasmodic in its action, generally
protracted, and is always accompanied
with inflammation of the mucous men,
brane of the windpipe, bronchial tubes
and tie cells. A dry cough, an occa-
sional sense of construction in the chest,
fever, quick respiration and other symp-
toms of a common cold mark its begin
ming. These disappear and the spas
modic stage ensues, in which there is a
frequently recurring and obstinate cough.
At times the child is convulsed with q
paroxysm of coughing which is con-
tinued until the lungs seem to be incapa-
BILE of further action. The spasm after
a second or two is relaxed and the breath
is drawn with prolonged, almost con-
vulsive sob, or "whoop" which is pc
culiar to this disease and prevents it from
being confounded with any other malady.
Children who are weak teething or being
weaned are liable in whooping cough to
infammating of the lungs or brain,
which often results fatally. Vigorous
treatment in its earliest stages is of the
utmost Importance, and great care
should be exercised in regulating the
diet ana avoiding sudden changes OF
temperature.-Nes York World.

LINCOLN'S MELANCHOLY.
ais Sympathetic Nature and His Enrly
Mtsfortunes.

ais sympathetic Nature and His Early
Misfortunes.
Those who saw much of Abraham Lincoln
during the later years of his life were greatly
impressed with the expression OF profound
melancholy his face always wore in repose.
Mr.. Lincoln was of a peculiarly sympathe-
tic and kindly nature. These strong charac-
teristics influenced, very happily, as 1t proved,
his entire political career. They would not
seem, at first glance, to be efficient aids to
political success; but in the peculiar emer.
gency which Lincoln, in the providence OF
God, was called to meet, no vessel of COM
mon clay could possibly have become the
'chosen of the Lord"
Those acquainted with him from boyhood
knew that early griefs tinged his whole life
business at Salem was "Uncle'' Billy Green,
of Tallula, ILL.,, who used ut night, when the
customers were few, to hold the grammar
while Lincoln recited his lessons.
1t was to h sympathetic ear Lincoln told
the story of his love for sweet Ann Rutlidge;
and he, in return, offered what comfort he
could when poor Ann died, and Lincoln's
great heart nearly broke.
After Ann died." says s'Uncle" Billy, ION
stormy nights, when the wind blew the rain
against the roof Abe would set thar in the
grocery his elbows on his knees, his face In
his hands, and the tears runnin' through his
fingers / hated to see him feel bad, an I'd
say, Abe don't cry;' and he'd look up an
say, 4 can't help it, Bill the rains fallin'
on her."
There are many who can sympathize with
this overpowering grief, as they think of a
lost loved one, when ''the rains a fallin' on
her." What adds poignancy to the grief
sometimes is the thought that the lost one
might have been saved.
Fortunate, indeed, is William johnson, of
Corona, l.. l., builder, who writes June 2S
1890: Last February, on returning from
church one night, my daughter complained
of having pain in her ankle. The pain
gradually extended until her entire limb was
swollen and very painful to the touch. We
called physician, who after careful exam
nation, pronounced it disease of the kidneys
of long standing. All we could do did not
seem to benefit her until we tried Warmers
Safe Cure; from the first she commenced to
improve. When she commenced taking it
she could not turn over in bed, and could
just move her hands little, but to-day she
is as well as she ever was. / believe l owe

GRASS FOR PIGS,

Various agricultural journals are re-
marking that there is meat in grass for
pigs as we'll as for cattle and sheep. 1t
is very true, but it is mistake to sup
pose that the natural diet of pigs is
grass, as it is for ruminant animals like
cows and sheep. The two latter have
very bulky double stomach, and will
thrive Oh coarscr fare than the pig, that
has only one digestive apparatus. With
out doubt pigs are often fed on too con-
centrated food, and are benefited by a
run at pasture, especially by the exercise
it involves. But the notion that grain
or come concentrated food is not needed
even by growing pigs is mistaken one.
1t is true pigs thrive we'll on milk, but,
even with the cream taken from it, milk
is much more nutritious and therefore a
more concentrated food than it is often
supposed to C0lmon's Rural World.

THE. FARM AND GARDEN.
WHEN TO WATER HORSES.

A writer in some agricultural paper
says: "Never water horse within three
hours after eating," This must be mis-
take. He was right in saying: "Water
them before they are fed" But some
times they will not drink before eating
if more hungry than dry. Now, it would
be cruel to drive horse, especially in a
hot day, fifteen or twenty miles before
giving him drink. How would man
like such treatment2 A horse may be
given little water in half an hour after
eating when he is being worked. Some
think it safe to let horse drink all he
wants while going right along on the
road, but many valuable horses have
been killed by doing this. A little
and often is better way---NeU York

In the last named experiment eight

each case more,milk was sgiven from the
beets thar, from the other foods, but it Is
not yet demonstrated that the increase of
milk was produced econ omically.
For twelve years records have been
kept on the, farm now occupied by the
station which showtthat the average yield
of beets,oven- this period has been nearly
sixteen tons per acre against an annual

corn per,acre.
But crop of fifty-fve'bushelslof shelled
corn withiits fodder will contain nearly
twice as,muchtdryrmattera as sixteen tons

that, whe ther,fed dry, as corn.meal and

about as Effective, pound for pound, as
the dry msstter of the beet crop.
1t is possible to raise,much moro than
sixteen tons.of beets to the acre. One
crop of twoa!cres is reported at thirty
seven and oms-half tons~per acre, and
smaller areas have given still larger yields,
but such crops require very'richland and

EFFECTS OF SPRAYING PEACH TREES.

r. Professor Bailey, in bulletin issued
from the Cornell Agricultural Experiment
Station, Ithaca, N. Y, gives a full re-
port of experiments made with spraying
peach foliage with London purple and
Paris green. Following is summary of
same:
/. Peach trees are very susceptible to
injury from arsenical sprays. 2. London
purple is much more harmful to peach
trees than Paris green, and it should
never be used upon them in any manner.
3. Injury is more liable to occur upon
full-grown foliage and hardened shoots
than upon young foliage and soft shoots.
4. The immunity of the young growth
is due to its waxy covering. 5. Injury
late IN the season is more apparent than
early in the season, because of the cessa-
ton of growth. s.. Injury from the use
of London purple may be permanent and
irreparable. z. The length of time
which the poison has been mixed appears
to exercise no influence. s. London
purple contains much soluble arsenic, and
this arsenic is the cause of the injury to
peach foliage. 8. A coarse spray ap-
pears to be more injurious than fine
one. 10. A rain following the applica-
ton does not appear to augment the in
jury. II. Meteorological conditions do
not appear to influence results. IL. Spray
ing the peach with water on bright and
hot day does not scorch the foliage.
13. Paris green, in fine spray, at the
rate of one pound to 800 gallons of water,
did not injure the trees. Probably one
pound to $50 gallons is always safe.
Professor Bailey does not discourage
the general use of London purple, as he
uses it freely upon other plants than the
peach.
