NE. Homestead: Until recently it was not believed that milk from a tuberculous COW could be harmful, unless the disease had descended to the udder. But expert ments made during the past two years by the Massachusetts society for promoting agriculture show that the germs of this disease are sometimes found in milk drawn from presumably healthy COWS. This ren- ders the subject still more serious to con- sumers of milk. There is no question but that the flesh or milk of tuberculosis COW taken without thorough cooking, may carry the disease to such as partake of it and the germs are proved to be uniniured by smoking or corning.

UNWHOLESOME SLEEP.

Not always is sleep ''tired natures sweet restorer." Sometimes, instead of balm, it brings a bugaboo in the shape O. the nightmare. Man is a wonderful piece of work, but his machinery may be thrown out of gear and set a-whizzing by so slight a thing as late supper. An indigeAtible Welsh rarebit at eleven D. m., may result in big -suffocating black dog across his chest at one o'clock in the morning all overplns of loaf f-pastry, which his gastric juices cannot assimilate, may precipitate him from precipice in dreamland into a bottomless ahysa; or surfeit of pete de foie gr0s send him to Morphean gal lows, there to endure all the tortures of actual strangulation. This sort of thing. by the way, IS only one remove from apo plexy. and the incubus ridden victim of in- ordinate and untimely self-indulgence is likely enough to be at last bestridden in his sleep by nightmare too strong for his vitality even death.
 The term nightmare is supposed to have been derived from Mara, the name of a demon which, according to the Scandi- navian mythology, bounced upon men in their sleep and held the will in thralldom. The old Saxons called the distemper Elf- SSdenne, or elf squatting. With the doc tors, who are nothing if not classical, it is E2ohSaltSes, from mythic giant of that name who undertook to climb to heaven, but, missing his, foothold, tumbled into the fathomless depths. Most of us have probably been convulsed in our sleep with the same kind of horror which the tripped- up Titan is fabled to have experienced during his "lofty fall" from the celestial battlements.
 In our boyish days, or rather nights, we were frequently pitched headlong from the tops of sky cleaving mountains, thrown over staircases and into wells from which the bottoms had dropped out; to say nothing of falling, bed and all, through trapdoors in the floor into illimitable chaos or being caught mp by the hair in- to the realms of ether and there kept dangling and kicking like jumping jack, without any apparent prospect of rescue Well do we remember the start of terror with which we awoke on such occasions, and the deep drawn sighs of relief which followed the consciousness of safety. It is doubtful whether any waking agony sur passes the torment that has been endured in dreams.
 There can be little doubt that many of the spectres of the dark ages were Maras begotten of indigestion. Your Saxon gor- mandizer, who sometimes feasted far into the night on boar's flesh and venison pasty, washing them down with frothy mead, must have gone to bed with his stomach in a nice condion. No wonder that of the internal fermentation, caused by such stuffing and swelling, hobgoblins and hippogriffs in endless variety were born.
 The surest way to avoid the nightmare, and procure that sound, healthful rep s }, with with each day's life should be "round ed off, is to live temperately, regularly and honestly. Ay, honestly, for troubled conscience, as well as an overladen dia phragm,- may engender evil dreams.-N y. Ledger.

Ayers Cathartic Pills are recommended by the best physicians, because they are free from calomel and other injurious drugs be- ing composed of purely vegetable ingredients. While thorough in their action, they stimu- late and strengthen the bowels and secretory organs.
 Old John Brown, of Harper's Ferry, who dt clared with clenched fist that "this thing has got to be fought out," was the father of nineteen children, eleven daugh- ters and eight sons. Only three sons of this large family are living now, and three or four of the daughters. They are scat tered about the country in various states, from California eastward.
 Several years ago two sons of the fa- nous old raider went to lonely and lofty mountain region in California and built a rude cottage. It was upon spur of 8 Sierra Madre peak that the brothers pitch ed their tent, seven miles from the beauti- lived there alone, with not human being near. They built with their own hands a rude road in the mountain side. It winds along the edges of sheer precipices 500 feet deep at some points. The Sierra Madres are here 5000 to 1000 feet high.
 The view from their cabin is equaled in few places in America, it taking in the whole San Gabriel valley. Here the broth ers dwelt in peace after their stormy lives. One of them, Jason, had family, but they were in Ohio Jason's wife remained with her children and grandchildren, who need ed her care. The men did not get so far out of the world that death did not find them, however, for last year one of them died and now Jason lives in the mountain cottage alone.
 The late Dr. Markham was associated with Senator Ca.lin and Senator Gardner in the commission appointed by Governor Bulkeley to inquire into the need of further accommodations for the insane, and his death will seriously interfere with the collection of data for their report. Dr. Markham had had sole charge of the collec. tion of information in Hartford, Holland, Windham and New London counties, the other counties being taken by Senator Catlin, as Senator Gardner had removed to New York to take charge of the Consol- idated roads marine property at Harlem River. It is possible that Dr. Markham s death may delay the report to the next legislature. It is understood that there Is proposition not to further enlarge the Middletown asylum, but to establish a branch institution. New Milford is named as one of the best places.

The profit on sheep growing does
nos all come from one source. 1t IS
not confined to the receipts for
wool, nor yet to what the mutton
and young lambs bring. Nor, IN
the case Of blooded stock, is il con-
fined to receipts for animals for
breeding purposes. Neither IS it
confined to all these three combln-
ed. There IS value in the droppings
Of the sheep. They enrich the land
wherever they 80, and not only con-
sumo weeds that would otherwise
be an increasing nuisance, but they
live on much that would go to waste
because other animals reject it.
With good fences they give little
trouble, because they attend strictly
to business. In summer give them
a good range, plenty of salt and
good water, and keep the dogs
away. Beyond these they do not
need anything more than is neces-
sary for the owner or master Of the
flock to keep up familiar acqualnt-
ance with them. Western Rural.

The above contains good, sound,
solid advice. It is a fact iii Il can
not be disputed, that our farmers
attempt each year to culti.ate too
much land. They plant 4 large
acreage, neglect to fcrtilize and
when the time comes to work out
the crop, are compelled to neglect
some Of it too long. 1t is strange
that people will skim over three or
four acres Of land for fifty bushels
of corn or Ii bale Of cotton, when
it could be made on one acre. Is it
any wonder that farming doesn't

WILL TT NEVER Stop

The old, old story about the sal
lance going into politics is still
abroad in the land and occasionally
some yerdant scribbler rushes into
print and with great gusto heralds
to the world the truly wonderful
fact that he has made great dis
covery. A correspondent of the
Memphis Commercial evidently be-
longs to this class, for in recent
communication to that paper he
says:
Tho report that the Farmers Alliance
and Labor Unionists of Lee county have
| consolidated and threaten to put out tick
ct for delegates to the Constitutional Con-
vention has caused no alarm in political
circles in the State whatever. The good
Democrats around Tupelo are strong enough
to knock into cooked hat anything in the
shape Of opposition 10 the regular party
This threat is news to US and
Will probably be to members OF the

is not political organization, but
the order will be represented in the
Constitutional Convention. 1t is
right that it.should be represented.
for it is extremely doubtful it the
Convention would ever have been
called, but for the demands Of the
alliance. In order to secure repre-
sentation, Il is not necessary for the
alliance. as an order, % nominate
candidates But when THE County
Convention and primaries come on,
the members Of the alliance will ex-
erciss their rights and vote for the
men Of their choice. As to what the
Democrats around Tupelo will do,
we will simply remark that they
would be powerless to do anything
without the help of the people Of
the county most ofls hcsn h,lonk
10 the alliance There are no doubt
just as good Democrats in the coun-
try districts Of Lee county as there
are in the town Of Tupelo, and a re-
Election on them IS altogether un-
just. As above stated, we had not
heard of tins alleged "threat" Of the
order in Lee county and we do not
believe the alliance Will put out
ticket there, but if they should they
will probably have good reason for
il.

clans This N stale. Such talk
was common when tie order was ia

bus the number is comparatively
small and can exert no influence and
hence will never, never disrupt the
order. Men join churches for sell
fish purposes steal the livery Of |
heaven to serve the devil in
but they cannot impede the
cause Of religion. So it is with
the alliance. The order IS, and should |
be, very careful to admit no one un-
less he OF she is clearly entitled to
membership. However, it does seem,
with the past record Of the alliance
before the public, that it IS high
time to quit talking about politics
running the order in this State.
Such talk is mere driyel the silli-
est kind Of stuff and nonsense.

Dairy farming IS the highest
branch OF agriculture yet developed.
Hence it calls for more skill and a
greater degree Of intelligence than
any other business connected with
the farm. Dairy cattle need the
best Of grain and Of grass that can
be grown; hence the dairy farmer
must needs know how to grow such
crops at the least expense. So dali
ry cattle need to be bred and fed
with as much care and judgment as
any other class Of stock, and the
dairy farmer must have skill in
feeding and judgment IN breeding.

thetically to the protectionist for so
doing) what benefit the barefooted
boys who carried that corn from the
fields received from looking at the
sky all written over with the word
protection written in smoke ut
that? Did such elevated and un-
substantial protection warm their
naked feet? Did it buy protected
shoes and stockings? Did it add in
the least to their comfort? Or,
rather, did it make the cold less Bit
ter and the poverty less pinching?

the want of higher tariff that
