CONSUMPTION Cured.

An old physician, retired from prac-
tice, having had placed in his hands by
an East India missionary the formula of
a simple vegetable remedy for the
speedy and permanent cure of Consump
ton, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and
all throat and Lung Affections, also a
positive and radical cure for Nervous
Debility and all Nervous Complaints,
after having tested its wonderful cura-
tive powers in thousands of cases, has
felt it his duty to make it known to his
suffering fellows. Actuated by this mo-
tive and desire to relieve human suffer-
ing, will send free of charge, to all

FUNGUS ON THE PLUM.

The fruit is hollow, consisting only
of the spongy distended skin, contain
ing but TIE shriveled remains of what
would have been the pit and pulp of
the plum.
The disease does not appear to be
more abundant the second or third year
on trees that have previously been sub
ject to it than on others, though from
analogy we would suppose such to be
the case.
Probably gathering the swollen fruit
and destroying it before the spores ripen
which is in central Iowa during the
first two weeks of June-would be as
effective method as any that could be
suggested. Where the trees are low
this could be easily done, as the enor-
nous puffy plums are very conspicuous.
The T'aphriai pruai of Europe is said
to attack the foliage as well as the
fruit. This is not the case, however,
with the fungus in question, only the
fruit being affected. Prairie Farmer

How an Inquisitive Little Dog Was

He was a little fat dog that just loved
to pry into all bags, holes, baskets and
pockets He pretended he was in search
of rats; hut that was not so He was
in search Of cakes and crackers and
candies; all these things Gyp loved as
well as his little mistress Maud did. He
and Maud had eaten many cakes and
candies together.
Well, Que day Gyp was all alone in
the house, excepting that he had the
company of Growler the mastitf, and
he thought it would Zoe a good time to
go around and smell of all the bags and
baskets and pockets in the closets.
Now Maud and her papa and mamma
had gone away in hurry TO catch the
excursion train; and they had left many
doors open. and so, as Gyp thought, il
really was a good time to see what
there was in the house that he would
size 10 eat.

STANDING FoR HIS RIGHTS.

How Jerry Taught His Young Master That
Kindness Is the Best Policy.
There were so many pretty presents
piled around Fred's breakfast-plate the
morning of his birthday that he said he
felt good all over"
He thought there was little left that
a boy could wish for.
But as the meal ended, some one
called: Fred! Fredr'
That's Uncle George" he cried, and
rushed away to join him.
Sure enough, there was Uncle George,
at the front door, holding by the bride
white goat hitched to a jaunty little
wagon. Everything about it was COM
plete. Even the whip in its leather
socket looked saucy and gay with a
red-ribbon bow.
Fred shouted with delight
Hes named jerry" said Uncle
George, patting the goat. "fIe has a
very pleasant temper when kindly
treated, but if you are cross TO him,
you'll find Jerry ready to stand for his
rights
While Fred proudly held the reins
and Jerry trotted along, all the little
fellows looked with admiration, for not
another boy owned goat.
Day after day, Fred drove mile or
two, often taking his chum Willie with
him. The boys and Jerry seemed on
the best of terms
But there came a time when Tom
Hills father gave him a Shetland pony
\ 4
good friends; so when Tom drove
rapidly past, calling out, Come on,
Snailr' Fred lost his temper.
Jerry did the very best he could, but
mot being able to trot as fast as the
pony, Tom kept ahead.
As Tom still shouted back SMALL
snailr' Fred grew still more angry, and
erlxed hastily with the reins Jerry
tas so astonished at this injustice that
stood stock-still. Then Fred cut
whip sharply about his head, and
Jerry reared and backed until the
wagon was tilted over and Fred split
in a ditch OF muddy water
When Jerry trotted home with the
empty wagon, Uncle George FASTENED
out TO see what was the matter. He
was inclined to laugh at the forlorn
figure Fred made with the mud sticking
all over him. But when he saw how
sorry and ashamed the boy was, he
shook his hand encouragingly, saying:
I'VE all do wrong sometimes. Now
make friends again with Jerry"
Jerry ate the apple Fred offered, rub
bling against him for thanks, thus show
ing that while determined to stand for
his rights he was still forgiving and
affectionate goat &C. Q.G. Nottingham,

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
BEING A MAN.

Before boy has dOffed his kilt
He wants a sword with a flashing hit,
He must manage a train, though il be OF
chairs,
He must beat drum, he must hunt for
bears,
In fact his highest ambition and plan
His dearest wish is to be a man.
But many boy is unmanly to day,
Becsr5e there are so many "ifs" in the way
He scorns this ''if' and he frOwns at that,
He shirks his lesson to WELD a bat;
And so he will go, as best he can,
From youth to old age without being a man
Oh, there are so many offs" IN the road
That leads TO manhoOd's highest abOdei
Kindness, purity, courage and truth,
Stumbling blocks these to many youth;
For he who viii not make these his own
Can never reach manhood's glorious throne.
so who would be manly should keep in
mind
He must ever be gentle. and brave, and
kind,

Thus shall he serve Gods cherished plan,
And come to the stature OF man.

TO Destroy ouack Grass.

Although this grass has running
root from which numerous shoots
branch out and make new plants, yet it
may be destroyed If the right means
are taken with it. In gardens and mar
row places the ground should be spaded
and completely inverted, leaving the
roots uppermost. In fields the land
should be plowed with the same result
Exposure of the upturned soil and roots
to the sun for a few days will kill the
grass without any more being done.
Then a thorough narrowing with a
sloping tooth or a Coulter harrow,
which does not tear ont the roots, will
prevent the growth of any escaping
fragments. 1t is desirable to SOW the
land with millet or buckwheat and
pillow it again in the fall when sharp
frosts occur. To depend upon picking
out the roots will be futile, as a large
proportion win be left in the soil and
restock the land. The special kind of
blowing by which the plants are com
pletely reversed is the key to success in
this work-N. Y. Times.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.

ONE protection against borers around
trees is air-slaked lime, literally APP
piled, first removing the earth around
the tree.
AFTER each rain the eultivator should
be used if the young weeds are to be
removed and the soil prevented from
baking and becoming hard
HEAVY horses are chiefly needed in
crowded cities where horses cannot
move rapidly and where heavy loads
are necessary. For the country diff
ferent sort of horse is wanted
Pics are useful in a small fruit or
chard to eat the fallen fruit and thus
destroy the Larvae. But to have the
work well and promptly done the pro-
portion of trees and pigs should har-
monte.
In some sections of our happy coun-
try goats and sheep are used for
"sprouting" new land. Starvation--or
the principle of root, hog or die"-is
the motive power. But it never makes
the animals fat.
IT may be much easier to allow the
trees to have the branches high, in
order to permit the horse and cultivator
to work near the trees, but the trees
that are cut back and kept low can be
easier and better harvested of the fruit.
JUDGING from the varying opinions
expressed about dehorning cattle, it
would appear that the first thing to be
done is to settle whether or not the
practice is really to the advantage of
the cattle, and whether the operation
is cruel.
Do NOT be afraid to plant more peas
for late supply. If the fall-growing
varieties are used it I'll do but little
INJURY if they fall over. Do not be de-
TERED from planting because of the
difficulty of providing supports, as they
may be omitted
THERE is the same difference of con-
stitution in the various weeds of our
gardens. The ragweed. chickweed and
pigweed terminate very early, the
smartweed later and after hot weather
begins the greatest pest of all, the
1 purslane, begins TO sprout.
THE California Fruit-Grower says
that sorrel can be eradicated by an APP
/ plication of twenty-five pounds OF
Stacked lime to the square rod, applied
broadcast. Digging and cultivating
seems only to spread and encourage
/ the pest to make renewed efforts

VALUE OF MANuRES.
The Loss Incident to Continued Exposure
in Open Barnyards-

I Inc Loss iuGi1emL 70 continued Exposure
in Open Barnyards-
The experiment station of Cornell
university has made a series of inves-
legations on the loss in stable manures
by exposure in open barnyards, the re-
suits of which are summarized IN bull
letin twenty-seven Of that station.
In the experiments of 1890 horse ma
nure was saved from day to day until
pile Of two tons had been accumulated
This was done April IS to %. Cut
wheat straw was used plentifully as
bedding, the relative amount of straw
and manure being 1919 pounds ex-
crement and 6s1 pounds straw.
Chemical analysis showed that one
ton of this fresh manure contained
nearly ten pounds of nitrogen. seven
and one-half pounds of phosphoric acid
and eighteen pounds of potash, making
its value about $3.50, if these constit-
uents be valued at the same rate as in
commercial fertilizers.
The pile of manure thus made was
put IN a place exposed TO the weather
and where the drainage was so good
that all the water not absorbed by the
manure ran through and off at once.
1t renained exposed from April 25 to
September %, at which time it was
carefully scraped up, weighed and a
sample taken for analysis.
1t was found that the 1000 had
shrunk to 1,73O pounds during the six
months, and analysis showed that this
1880 was less valuable, pound for
pound, than the original lot of manure.
1t had not only lost by teaching, but
by heating or fire fanging" during
periods of dry weather, and the value
of the pile of 1000 pounds had shrunk
from $500 to SABA loss of 62 per
cent.
In summing up the results of this ex-
pertinent Director Roberts says: 1T
seems safe to say that under the or
binary conditions of piling and ex-
posture the loss of fertilizing materials
during the course of the summer is not
likely TO be much below so per cent. of
the original value of the manure"
Further experiments showed that the
liquid manure from a COW is worth
as much per day as the solid manure,
and that the combined value of the two
is nearly 10 cents per day, if valued at
the same rate as commercial fertilizers;
that from horse at Z cents, that from
a sheep at III cents, and that from
hog at one-half cent for iberally-fed,
thrifty shoats of medium size.
Director Roberts is careful to ex-
plain that these values will have to be
modified to suit individual oircum-
stances. What he means is that if
farmers can afford to buy commercial
fertilizers at current prices, then the
manures of the farm are worth the
prices given and it will pay to house
them.

ABOUT UNDER DRAINAGE
How to Preserve the Fertilizing Materi-
ais in Rain and Snow.

How TO Preserve the fertllizing Mater1-
ais in Rain and Snow.
There is more or less fertilizing ma
terial in rain and snow. One of the
principal advantages of under draining
over surface drainage is, much larger
per cent. of fertilization is retained in
the soil. With surface drainage good
portion of this is lost, while in hard
beating rains not only is a large per
cent. of what is in the water carried
off, but more or less what is already in
the soil and near the surface is carried
off.
With under drainage the water is
strained through the soil and much of
this matter is retained therein, large
per cent. of which is soluble, and
hence available for use by the growing
plants.
OF course much depends upon how
the work is done. improper drainage
is of little or no advantage, and may be
an injury rather than benefit. The
work should be carefully planned.
One item of Importance is to secure a
good outlet for the mains. Then Sc
cure a gradual fall, not only of the
main drains, but also of the laterals.
Put the tile at least three feet below
the surface. and thus safe from frost.
Use good-sized drains. The difference
in cost is small item compared with
the better and sure results secured.
The difference in cost is only the diff
ference in the price of the tiles, as the
cost of laying is practically the same.
In August and September is a good
time to dig the drains and lay the tile.
There is usually time for this during
these months, The soil is generally
dry at this time, and while the digging
may be somewhat harder the other adj
vantages more than overbalance this.
A good way to begin is to drain the
low places first, and then work back to
the higher grounds; but whatever is
done it will pay to take time and do the
work thoroughly.-Pra Farmer.
