BEET SUGAR.
Impetus Received by the New Industry
From the Tariff

Already the western farmer is expert
encing the benefits provided in the sugar
bounty provision of the Tariff bill. The
Blade of Cloud county, Kan, says of the
beet sugar production in its issue of De.
cember IL:
This industry is coming to the front
very rapidly. Wherever tried fair sue
cess has been obtained. The only ques-
ton, if question at all. and which is not
SO considered by good judges, is as to
whether the beets grown where works have
been established are as rich in saccharine
matter as they are in France and other
countries where success has been achieved
This is certain, they never fail to grow in
this valley on the loamy soil, and to i'm
meLse size. More tons of them can bt
produced on an acre than of anything else
that can be sown or planted.

Trifling With Dangerous Weapons.

Anti-pyrine is drug comparatively new
to both the medical profession and the
general public, but it has come to be
almost as well known as quinine and abou;
az recklessly used. This is unfortunate
for it is capable Cf doing much harm and
the range of its real utility with safety is
quite small. 1t takes its name from its
power to depress the temperature of the
human tody and from the fact that it was
introduced in case of fevers to hold down
the only drug which has this power which
it exerts by It's depressing or devitaiizlng
effect upen the vital energies. The adj
visibility of using such drugs for this
porpose is 5eip g rightly called in question
London, before the British Medical associ-
alton remarked: The different drugs
which are at present Sc fashionable for
lowering the temperature might at the
same time prove very lowering to the
strength Of the patient. In febrile dis
eases, to lower the temperature was not.

natures efforts to any great extent may be
really to retard a cure. Except for the
common custom of writing prescriptions
these new fashions in drugs would not so
quickly get into the hands Of the unpro-
fessional public where they are greatly
abused. Heroic or over-dosipg does harm
enough, as practiced by The profession it
self, but OF course the chances of injury
and abuse are greatly increased when the
general public learns of some favorite new
fad of the doctors and gets some idea OF
its possible range of use with really no
idea of the attending possibilities for
evil. We do not believe in mysticism, or
any limiting of scientific knowledge to any
favored classes, but we do think there
would be ali advantage to both profession
and public if physicians exercised more
secrecy as to their prescriptions, so that
the knowledge OF the use of powerful drug
would be acquired by those outside Of the
profession through considerable study as
we'll as now, wher The ability to deciphe1

Feeding Colts.

1t is one thing to raise cattle and hogs.
but quite another to raise horses. where
bone, muscle, endurance and strength are
needed instead of fat Cattle and hogs
may be raised On corn, but colts need other
food. Whatever goes to making bone and
muscle is the proper food for these youue
things. You have spoken eff skim milk.
There is no better food than skim milk.
1t contains a good deal of the phosphate of
lime; just the material needed to build up
the bony structure. The young of all AMI.
mails subsist on milk It contains all the
elements required for animal growth, and
the cows milk, when skinned contains a
large amount of casein, just the material
to build up the muscular system. 1t takes
some little time to get colts to drink milk.
1t requires kindness and patience. Then
milk at the start should be we'll sweetened
but the use of sugar should be not long
continued, because it tends to make api.
mails fat and not to bel p the bony or mus
cuiar structure. 1t is not every farmer or
breeder who has skim milk, but breeders
will keep cows to help along colts, that
are entered in stakes, for no food so builds
up, develops and strengthens the whole
physical system.
A variety of food is certainly desirable
for colts, and wheat and rye brand, oats
ground or unground, some ground rye
and even barley, linseed meal in moderate
qualities, and some ground peas. all are
good, given in variety, and make much
better colts than if kept on one kind OF
grain alone.
Different varieties of hay is also de-
sirable. The hay usually provided is
timothy, but an assortment of kinds is
better. Good clover hay is not appreciat-
ed. 1t is generally overcured. lie it is
wet with only its own juices, it generally
comes out all right. If moved one day il
can be hauled the next day, if it does not
rain, and it will not spoil. 1have used
clover hay for more than forty years, and
think more of it than when | commenced
farming It's analysis show it is a mus
Gle food either in the green or dry state
have sometimes thought that much OF
the early development of the California
colts was due to their feeding upon alfalfa,
belonging to the clover family, and just
as good food for the muscIes.-Rura
World.

EeSt Time to SnW Oats

In localities where winter fingers long
In the lap of spring it is often possible to
SOW oats too early. In the far west. be-
You'd the lake region, oats may be sown as
soon as the frost is out of the ground,
dragged in while the surface is still mud
dy, and be all the better for one or two
freezings of the surface to loosen the soil
thus compacted by stirring while wet.
But if the freezing and thawmg Of the
ground is repeated several times, the vital
ity of the germ is injured, and if it has
started it may be even entirely destroyed.
Young oats are not hardy, and when they
first push out from the seed the germ may
be killed by any frost that penetrates an
inch below the surface. Excepting this
danger, early sown oats generally do bet
ter than those late sown.

Living For Others.

So surely as the years roll around. at the
home IN which you now dwell will become
extinct. The parents will be gone, the
property will be turned over into other
possessions, you yourself will kbe in other
relationships, and that home, which only
year ago was full of congratulation, will
be eytinguished. When that period comes
you will look back to see what you did ur
what you neglected to do in the way of
making home happy. If you did not
smooth the path of your parents toward
the tomb; if you did not make their last
days bright and happy; if you..allowed your
young brother to 60 out into the world
unhallowed by christian or sisterly in
fiuences; if you allowed your younger
| sisters of your family to come up without
feeling that there had been a christian
example set them on you part, there will
be nothing but bitterness OF lamentation
The bitterness will be increased
by all the surroundings of that home; by
every chair, by every picture, by the old
time mantle ornaments, by everything
you can think of as connected with that
home. All these things will rouse up
agonizing memories. Young women,

ever undone. Time is flying very quickly
away. | suppose you notice the wrinkles
are gathering and accommodating on those
kindly faces, that have so long looked
upon you; there is frost in the locks; the
! foot is not as firm in its step as it used to
be; and they will soon be gone. The
heaviest clod that ever falls on a parents
coffin lid is the memory of an ungrateful
daughter. Make their last days bright
and beautiful. Do not act as though they
were in the way. Ask their counsel. seek
their prayers, and, after long years have
passed, and you go out TO see the grave
where they sleep, you will find growing all
over the mound something lovelier than
cypress. something sweeter than the rose,
something chaster than the lily-the
bright and beautiful memories of fila
kindness performed ere the dying hand
dropped on you a benediction, and you
closed the lids over the weary eyes OF the
WORKOUT pilgrim.

FARM, HOME and GARDEN.
BEAUTIFUL GIFTS.
BY SARAH LOUISE MORRIS.

Only smile. but its sunny ray
Pierced the dark of Swallowed soul:
Clothed with brightness the phantoms grey
That haunted it, then softly stole
To the palld lips, and broke the seal
Grief and hopelessness there had set:
All! the depths Of love smile may reveal;
And the power it hath TO make one forget
LIES ills, and the burdens that 10 it belong,
Or to change sight TO jubilant songi
Only a word, but so sweetly voiced,
1t set astir in a vice-hardened heart
Thoughts of time when its youth reJoiced
In The glory of life. A nober part
Had it chosen then, but carelessly
Unto temptation the key was given,
And she had stolen its purity;
ALE its defenses ruthlessly riven,
word won that heart from it barrenness,
And it blossOmed again with loyliness
Only touch, but starbeams fall
Not more gently upon the night:
And 1t rescued hope from the cruel thrall
OF giant despair; restored the light
Blown ont by adversity's bitter breath:
. And naught was wished for but speedy death:
Over and over, Jill its faith was lost,
For life was lived at too dear a cost.
Just kindly touch, but it turned aside
The swift dark waters Overwhelming tide.
Shines the yellow gold, and jewels CLEAN
In the mIsers purse and on beauty's brow;
But pale and dim do they ever seem,
Both jewels and gold, when the radiant gloy
OF the ''sunshines of love" suffuses with light
A noble soul, and its sympathy
Bril- clearly out, through a single unite
; 1t may only bestoW in charity,
Than word a touch. or smile sincere,
No gift is more blessed, and none more dearI

AN EXPENSIVE COW.
How Gen. Alger Repaid the Man Who
Gave Him an Education.
Chicago Mail.

At the fat stock show several world
fair commissioners were discussing tn,
high prices commanded by frst-class stool
nowadays. Several instances were citeC
In which a single animal had brought
sum Which few years ago would have
been pronounced fabulously large. Il re
call one instance" remarked one of the
gentlemen, in which an ordinary mict
cow, without any pedigree whatever
brought price which compares very
favorably with the cases we have men,
toned.
Years ago Gen. Russell A. Alger, OF
Detroit, lately the commander-in-chief OF
the Grand Army Of the Republic, was a
youngster without cent, and with but
one suit of clothes. He wanted to attend
school and went a physician who lived
IN the village to ask ior chance to work
for his board. The doctor did not need
the services of a boy, but he was so much
impressed with young Al ger earnestness
that he took him into his family circle and
sent him through school, A ger did not
work except to take care of the doctor s
horse and one COW.
But time has wrought changes.
4 lger is now a millionaire, while his
benefactor is an old man in straitened
financial circumstances. One by che his
children have died, until he and MS old
wife have been left alone. All offers of
assistance by Gen Alger have been re-
fused, for the old man is as proud as
Lucifer himself. In consequence, Alger
las been forced to bestOw his charities in
many little roundabout ways, so that their
source could not be guessed. Recently he
visited his old friend, determined to COM
pell his acce. lance of more substantial aid
than he had been receiving.
