When the life of Justice Field was
jeopardized in California, the United
States went to the extent of causing the
death of Judge Terry, in order to pro-
tect the farmer. This seems to dispose
of the assertion that the government is
'impotent," in respect to the massacre
in New Orleans.

Rearing Lambs,

According to Col. Curtis, 1t costs twice as much with the average farmer to grow winter lamb as it does a summer one. His average conditions are not favorable. He should get twice as much in the winter as in the summer to come out even. It is not so much what you get for lamb as how much margin there may be be- tween the cost and tho price obtained. The winter lamb requires Q special place to be born in and to stay in. The average farmer has not the con- veniences to do this business proftably. Another thing (referring to American sheep-brecding particularly. says the colonel), I found when in Virginia, that all the planters were talking about winter lambs, and so away down into the Carolinas, Tennessee, and other states. Sheep feel the effects of the cold, and the average farmer must be converted in the care of sheep before he can make success of winter lambs. No; it is better to arrange to put the lambs into market in midsum- mer. Sheep must not be turned into the cold, and especially in stormy weather

Danger In Envelopes.

The public is frequently warned by the medical profession of the danger which turks in the practice of dampen- ing the gum on envelopes with the tongue. and notwithstanding the many
 cases of virulent and serious diseases,
 especially of sphilitic type, which have been traced to such an origin, the practice is still almost universal.
 Among attempts which have been made to provide means of escaping the necessity of licking the envelope is an automatic-lock envelope, which has been patented. On the flap of the are two projecting tlanges, and all that is necessary to close the envelope is to fold these fanges by clearly denoted lines and insert the flap thus narrowed in slot, where upon the folded flanges automatically lock themselves. and the envelope cannot be opened without being torn.

From Sinner 10 Saint.

A Mussulman having served his term in prison is regarded almost as a saint, no matter as to the crime he has been condemned. For a Moslem to say that he has been confined in prison is to make a claim upon the respect and admiration of his fellow believers. A certain Mohammedan was released recently from prison after term of three years for forgery. On his way to his house he was met by crowd of his fellow believers. who cheered him loudly and slaughtered he goats before him, over the carcasses of which he had to step. For three days afterward his house was crowded with visitors coming to congratulate him and to ex- press their respect and admiration for him. Among them were the most prominent men of the Mohammedan community of the city. Nor were these ovations expressions of disap- proval of the punishment he had suf. fered, for his guilt had been proven tc the satisfaction of his most ardent friends and defenders.

Hints.

If little cornstarch is put in the salt for the table it it will keep it from lump ing, and the pretty little shakers will not have so hard scolding in damp weather
 To seed raisins, take one cupful of raisins at a time, put them in a bowl and pour boiling water on them. After they have stood for a short time remove the seeds by cutting through the center with small knife, and the warm water prevents them from sticking unpleasantly to the fingers.
 An American anthor, whose excellent eyesight was wonderful, when one consid- cred her age and the immense amount of literary labor she performed, attributed it mainly to the custom of bathing her eyes freely in water as hot as it could be borne, night and morning, a habit continued for many years.
 Perhaps the most effective way of mark ing the table cloths Is to embroider the initials or monographs, in white real Scotch linen thread. This monogram should be worked in the cornor of each napkin or the tablecloth in large script letters. The letters are first marked out with pencil and then raised roughly with thread worked lengthwise This will raise the letters sufficiently so that the plain embroidery stitch known as lover and over," can finish of the work nicely. They should be ironed on the wrong side and the letters will then wash without fraying out. All fancy table linen should be marked in this way and especial pains should be taken to make the lettering on the napkins find and attractive

The Farmers Disinfcctant.

The farmer has at his command disin- fectant, cleansing, purifying agent bet ter than any patent be can buy. It costs nothing, except the labor of procuring it. It is earth, fresh, clean earth
 The nests of setting hens should be made of earth with only O thin layer of cut straw on top. A dust bin is indispensable. If the fowls have it, the earth is used plenti- fully under the roosts and in the nests, lice are banished.
 Used in the stables, it absorbs the liquid manure, and holds it till used thus becoming in itself rich fertilizer Several inches of earth should be under the cows fore feet as they stand in the stalls, and re. newed as often as it works back to the gutter This saves the planking, and pre- vents the hoofs from making holes in it.
 Earth is foe to vermip, and if used plentifully in the poultry quarters, lice cannot live. Here, also, is an absorbent, and the droppings are saved and by the admixture of earth, prepared in part for use in the spring. This is the richest fer tilizer on the farm-equal to guano, and the earth may be the savings bank in which it is deposited
 In the sheep, pig and young stock pens earth should be used with lavish hand, for it is the farmers scavenger--it enables him to gather up the fragments of manure, and there is no part of the farm economy more important than this gleaning and saving of the natural fertilizers. It is the life of the farmer--of the farm--it is his bank, and the dividends are sure. Who ever begins winter without big bank of earth to draw upon has neglected to make a good investment.

Live and Farm Notes

Good grooming is necessary for the health of horses
 Do the greatest part of your farm work with productive mares.
 Horses given good care require less feed to keep them in good condition.
 While the feed has much to do with the quality of milk the breed of the COW has more.
 The creamery does the work of hun dred hands and turns out a much more even product.
 As rule, after a COW passes her eighth year, she loses, to some extent, her capac- ity for giving milk.
 Hogs will not do well if they are com pelled to lie in the hot sun. They suffer with the heat more than any other class of stock.
 If you are short of forage try some of the new forage crops on a small scale but make either corn or sorghum the principal reliance until value is definitely ascertain ed
 Under general conditions all around farming will be found the best, but if your soil seems especially adapted to any one variety of crops rud good market can be secured, stick to that.

The Stupid Wen Of To-day.

Tallcyrand, looking back, declared that he who had not lived before the French revolution knew nothing of the charm of living. Now, however, in England, at least conversation, like letter writing and hundred of other social joys of quiet and leisurely age. is fled, and in their places we have tel egrams, slang and slovenliness, says a writer in the Gcntlemen's Magazine. There seems to be general agree ment that in our time conversation is in bad way. Without repose, with out a certain strain of old-world count esy, without manners, in short con- versation is impossible. Many will agree with NJ. Renan, who finds this to be pushing selfish, democratic age, of which first come first served is the rule, and which has ceased to pay any heed of civility.

Losses in Moving Bees.

In cloudy weather bees sometimes remain out all night and come home safely the next morning. Take hive from it's accustomed place on the stand and close it one whole day, so that no bees can go out yet wandering bees, evidently belonging to that swarm, will be found next morning at tho old place of business. This shows that however much care is taken to avoid losses, some are inevitable when bees are moved from place to place during the season of work. It is best even not to make changes in hive stands or other signals by which bees when they leave home have mark enabling each to distinguish his own domicile when if returns

 Kansan-Fertile? It's a heap too fertile!

Early Maturity Mutton.

The old theory that prime mutton can only be had from three and four year-old wethers has exploded. h. deed two-year-olds now are rare. One year-olds seem to be growing more numerous every year and are becoming the staple mutton of the country, not withstanding it was once thought that sheep could not be put in first-class order at that age. Everybody goes Tn for early maturity, and probably it is only by SO doing that mutton-making can be made to pay, excepting, of course, In the case of old ewes, which make up proportion of the fat sheep killed every year, and which may, un- der certain circumstances, leave good profit for fattening.
 Nothing is more certain than that the age at which sheep can be fattened is being constantly lessened. During recent years the fat stock clubs have been compelled to entirely recast their prize lists.

ToxIcoLooYIN NOVEL WRITING
Deadly Poison Which Must Be Clothed in
 Indian Names.

Indian Names.
 From the story of the physician in the Arabian Nights" who impreg- mated the leaves of book with sub tie poison, which the unjust king ab- sorbed through wetting his finger to turn the leaves, down to the most re- cent story in the dime novel series, novelists have reveled in the notion Of poison which is silent, but instan- taneously fatal, at the same time leav. ing no trace of its presence. The sto- ries of the crimes of the Borgias, of the death-dealing work Of the Marquise de Brinvilliers, of the well-known sue cession powders" of England, of the aqua tofana of Italy, all rest upon this assumption.
 Modern science, however. with it's realistic iconoclasm. has interfered seriously with the operations of this tool of the novelists' trade. The sub ject of toxicology has been closely and exhaustively studied, the result being that science now declares that one can not be poisoned without the cause of death being made certain by an autop- sy, and more than this that the kind of poison used may be named with almost as much certainty as though the chemist or analyst had seen it administered.
 No longer can the novelist put his characters out of the way with pinch of powder dissolved in a glass of wine, nor cause them to sink insensible from the inhalation of poison hidden in a bouquet of flowers. The man of science comes with his test tubes and apparatus for analysis and makes out so clear a case that even a trial jury can- not escape the conclusions which he draws.
 A very cursory review of modern sensational fiction will show that the novelists have learned to appreciate the limitations which science has im- posed on their fancy in this respect. Instead of the familiar white powder, or anything of that sort, the writer of fiction is now compelled to go farther afield for his poisons, and to procure them from strange lands and compara- lively unknown countries. He has to introduce an agent for his purpose from Africa or the Indies or the inte- rior of South America, where the prop critics of the fora are comparatively unknown. San Francisco Chronicle.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

Scrubbing brushes should be kept with the bristles down and they will last twice as long
 To loosen glass stopper drop little oil aronnd the stopper and place the bot tie near the fire.
 If sponge cake is mixed with cold water it is yellow, but if the water be boiling hot the cake will be white.
 A spoonful of oxgall to gallon of water will set the colors of almost any goods soaked in it before washing.
 Ink stains on linen can be taken out if the stain is first washed in strong salt water, and let it stand over night.
 To remove stains of blood, saturate tho spots in kerosene and let stand for a time, afterwards wash out in warm water.
 To remove ink from carpets wet with sweet milk and sprinkle with salt. Leave this for few hours and then wash with clear water.
 Lemon juice will whiten frosting craa- berry or strawberry juice will color 1t pink and the grated rind of an orange strained through cloth will color 1t yellow
 Put camphor gum with your new silver. ware, and it will never tarnish as long as the gum Is there. Never wash silver in soapsuds, as that gives 1t a white ap- pearance.
 Galvanized articles may be cleansed by a solution of one part of borax in sixteen parts of water, which Is rubbed on with a brush or sponge. Afterward wash with clear water and dry with linen cloth.
 In washing pongee do not boil or scald the goods; it will stand hard rubbing if necessary. Let it get quite dry, then press with as hot an iron p possible, when the silk will look like new. Silk hnndker- chiefs should bc quite drJ before ironing to prevent them tarning yellow.

FACTS FOR THE FARMER.
WHERE TO LOOK FOR GENERAL
 PURPOSE HORSES,
It VIII Not Pay to Attempt to Raise Them. However Much They May be Needed-when Wanted,
 Find Them. LgE
The General-Purpose Horse.

The time was when among our farm- CTS one room answered for kitchen, parlor and bed room. The time was when one wagon took the grain to market one day, the manure to the field the next and the family to church On Sabbath. The combined reaper and mower did good service in its day. Examples of this kind might be multi piled almost indefinitely, but we desist and come back to the text. While breeds have been developed for draft, trottiDg and running, so far as we have studied the history of horse breed ing, no united effort has ever been made to develop @ general-purpose breed. This may seem strange when the service of large proportion of farmers requires horse of all work A little reflection, horsemen, however, will reveal the fact to any one that united effort requires unanimity of sentiment. Intelligent horsemen have all agreed upon standards of excel lence for each of the four recognized classes of horses, namely. runners. trotters, coachers and drafts. All are working toward their respective stand ards, but none claimed to have at tained to them. While individuals may have individual preferences, some admiring more size, others more qual- ity all agree upon the general charac- tcristics of their class.
 With the general-purpose horse it is different as scarcely two men will SC. feet the same animal as their ideal from ring of a dozen or more horses of various types. The truth is, every man has a special purpose in his mind, whether he knows it or not and he will tell you what it is before you talk with him many minutes. One man will tell you he does not want to take other peoples dust, if he does go with a lighter load; another will tell you he wants a team that can walk all day with n blow, running 2 to 8 inches deep; and that he wants power in a team ten times for once he wants speed. Docs not each of those men (and there are hosts of farmers just like them) have special purpose in view and could there be race of horses developed to suit these different tastesp
 But even if such a thing was at tempted it would not be profitable, for there has been a surplus of that class of "betweens, not heavy enough for draft, and not smart enough for road sters. nor stylish enough for coachers. As has been said, specialists never have, and never will reach their ideal, and of course large number of their productions cannot be classed as spe- cial purpose animals. Among this host each buyer can find what suits his taste cheaper than he can produce it.

The Poultry Lot.

In fattening in confinement better re- suits will be secured by having the places just light enough for the fowls to see how to eat well.
 Yellow manure is an indication of liver trouble and good cartheric can be given with benefit.
 If the young chickens are confined in GOODS at night they should be let out early in the morning.
 The drinking water should be changed two or three times every day regularly pure water is essential to good health.
 Plenty of gravel, good supply of burnt bones pounded fine with lime and ashes, all tend to keep the fowls in health.
 Kaffir corn makes good winter feed for poultry; it withstands drought well and in many cases can be made a profitable crop to grow for this purpose.
 It is usually rather poor economy to feed young poultry with the older ones; there is much danger of the young fowls getting run over and trampled down.

When the two sons of the Prince of Wales were visiting South America at a ball in Rio, Prince George was hav- ing a right good time, dancing with any of the pretty girls who took his fancy, irrespective of their social posi- tion, and neglecting the local big-wigs.

Brains on the Farm.

A man may have the most fertile soil and raise the largest kind oi crops, but if he has not brains enough to know how to go about selling what he has to the best advantage, some. body else will be very likely to rear the profit not he. He may, even, have the best knowledge in the world as to where the best market is, and the best "knack" of finding out who will give the best prices but if he fails ir judgment as to what crops to raise, and how to successfully grow them, ht simply does not get along.
