TIE Chinese Government has notified
the Government Of the United States
through the Department of State, Of its
unwillinguess to receive Hon. Henry W.
Biair as our Minister to China. 1t is
well understood that the objection TO
Mr.. Blair is based upon his utterances
concerning the Chinese question, and
that the republication of extracts from
his speeches produced a deep impression
upon the minds Of prominent Chinese
officials which finally resulted in the
notification received by the department
of State at Washington. The objection
of the Chinese Government to Mr. Blair
caused no excitement rs the Government
recognizes the right Of a foreign power
to express its unwiIlingness to receive a
minister who is not entirely acceptable.

many lazy farmer would use neither
hoe, cultivator nor pillow and thus suffer
the soil to bake and thus cut short his
crops often to more than fifty per cent.
"Ah, hal" says the farmer; ooh, ho"
says the corn. An observant and Sue
cessful farmer once made the remark
that "there was as much manure at the
tail end of a pillow as in the barnyarn.
That is a pretty strong statement and a
very large grain of truth. Every plant
or weed-deiined as plant out of place
with its leaves, blades and roots be
comes fertilizer or green manure.
Wise farmers pillow under clover, rye
or buckwheat fol improving the con-
dition or fertility of the soil, and the
roots of clover form no inconsiderab'e
portion Of the planta as fertilizer Glover
is embraced in every rotation or system
Of farm crops, and is worthy Of tie place.
Some weeds are 50 tenacious Of life
and will grow from ever so small a
portion of root or ever so minute seed
that Legislatures have enacted laws for
their destruction and imposed fines for
the careless and neglcctful farmer. And
this is wise. The work in this direction
ought to be more thoroughly done than
than it is; and, the laws, after having
been enacted, ought to be enforced
without fear Or favor. -.St. Lou1s Republic.
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1891-08-29
POULTRY POINTS.

AL objection made by many women to
the poultry business is their dislike to
selling their gentle pets alive. Whether
the market be local or distant, more or
less suffering is imposed on fowls, from
fright, bruises, hunger, thirst, conine-
ment in crowded quarters, and often
filthy surroundings. Certainly these are
not the most healthful or appetizing con-
ditions to precede the dainty broil or
roast; does not ''Inan's inhumanity to
man" deserve attention on this point9
Again the demand for the laborious dry
picking is Encouragement in the busy
farm home to sending out dressed poul-
try. The least labor that will produce
best result is of prime Importance. Scald-
ing to remove the feathers is much more
easily and quickly done than dry picking.
It is cleaner-for all fowls are more or
less infested with parasites. If carefully
done there need be little or no discolora-
ton of skin. Neither flavor nor keeping
qualities seem to be affected by the scald-
ing. The principal claim made for dry
picking is that the birds look better, and
as good looks are not to be despised, let
bright women put their minds to the
matter and learn how to make their
scalded birds look as we'll as dry picked,
and thereby confer benefit on producer,
consumer and consumed.-Neso York
Tribune.

HAND TREATMENT.

There are not nearly as many secrets
in hand treatment as people imagine. A
little ammonia or borax in the water you
wash with, and that water just luke
warm, will keep the skin clear and soft.
A little oatmeal mixed with the water
will whiten the hands. Many people use
glycerine on their hands when they go
to bed, wearing gloves to keep the bed
ding clean; but glycerine does not agree
with every one. It makes some skin
harsh and red. These people should rub
their hands with dry oatmeal and wear
gloves in bed. The best preparation for
the hands at night is white Of an egg
with grain of alum dissolved in it.
Quacks have fancy name for it, but all
can make it. They also make the Roman
toilet paste. 1t is merely the white of
an egg, barley flour and honey. They
say it was used by the Romans in olden
times. At any rate, it is tirst-class
thing; but it IS sticky and does not do
the work any better than oatmeal. The
toughest and hardest hands can be made
soft and white in the space of a month
by doctoring them little at bedtime
and all the tools you need are nail
brush, bottle of ammonia, box oil
powdered borax and little fine white
sand to rub the stains off, OR cut OF
lemon, which will do even better, for the
acid of the lemon will clean everything,

The Fata MOrgana.

The Fata Morgana is the singular
aerial phenomenon, akin to the mirage.
1t is seen in many parts of the world,
but most frequently and in greatest per-
lection at the Straits of Messina, between
Sicily and Italy. So many conditions
must coincide, however, that even there
it IS of comparative rare occurrence. To
allow of its production the sun must be
at an angle of forty-five degrees with the
water, both sky and sea must be calm,
and the tidal current sufficiently strong
to cause the water in the center to rise
higher than on the edges of the strait.
When these conditions are fully met, the
observer on the heights of Calabria,
looking toward Messina, will behold a
series of rapidly changing pictures, some
times of most exquisite beauty-streets,
arches, houses, fleets OF ships, colonnades,
castles, etc., each surrounded by halo
Of colors. 1t is supposed that the images
are due to the irregular retroactive powers
Of the different layers Of cir above the
sea, which magnify, repeat and distort
the objects ON the Sicilian shores beyond
but to the Italians these singular appear
ances are the castles OF the Princess Nor
gana, and the view of them lie supposed
to bring good fortune to the beholder.-

THE HAY HARVEST.

The importance of the hay crop to the
whole country at large and the individ-
ual farmer as well can scarcely be over
estimated. For hay of the best quality
in all respects, that made from timothy
grass stands highest in the public esti-
nation. Consequently this is the varie-
ty to cultivate when the highest price
that can be obtained from critical buyers
is the object aimed at. Other varieties
often do better on certain soils, and clo-
yer makes excellent hay when success
fully cured. Besides, clover has value
other than for hay, as renovator Of ex-
hausted soils, that does not belong in an
equal degree to timothy or other grasses
that may be preferred for the rack and
manger.
To get the most value from timothy
meadow the ground should be we'll pre-
pared before sowing the seed. In these
days of improved farm implements it
goes without saying that mellow should
be smooth and free from sticks, stones
and other obstacles of every kind that
would interfere with the running and
operation of a machine. The seed sown
should be free from those of weeds or Of
other varieties, unless a mixture of
grasses is intended, as is sometimes the
case. For most purposes the value of
timothy hay is increased by deferring
the cutting until the seed is ripe enough
to grow.
Curing without exposure to rain is
important with all varieties if the hay is
to be of the best. To secure this con-
dition beyond any peradventure every
farmer should have sufficient number
OF hay caps ready for an emergency
Caps made from heavy unoiled muslin,
if smoothly drawn down over we'll
formed haycocks, will be sufficiently
protecting, and such are cheap and
easily handled. -New York World.

TREATMENT OF A BLOATED COW.

Bloating is due to overlooking on wet
heritage and is caused by the accumula-
ton of gas in the paunch from the fer
mentation of the food. The passage to
the stomach is closed by the pressure
and it is sometimes impossible to get
any relieving medicine into tae stomach.
If this can be done, carbonate of am
monia, given in one-ounce doses dis
solved in water, is most useful. But
mechanical means are most effective. A
round stick, two inches in diameter, fast
ened in the mouth like Bit, may afford
relief, by inducing eructation of the gas.
When all other means fail, the stomach
may be punctured on the left side of the
COW, little below the hip bone and
eight inches forward of it, so as to let
out the confined gas--Nep York Times

WEEDS A BLESSING.

The farmer prepares his seed bed by
furnishing fertilizers, by making the
ground mellow and bringing the plant
food within reach of the roots of the
growing grain. so-called hoed crops
need to have the ground made friable
and pulverized after every rain and ''be-
tween times, because frequently showers
are "like angels visits-few and far be-
tween" as proved by last years expert
ence in many parts of Missouri and else
where.
But there never was season SO wet or
so dry that the weeds did not grow
apace. Indeed, they will cover all the
ground unless destroyed by the frequent
cultivation and hoeing.
Just here is where blessing comes in.
The destruction of the weeds cultivates
the growing maize, the cabbages, the
root crops, ETC., and but for the weeds

OVERRIDING PHYSICAL EXERCISE.

An expert on training asserts that wo.
men during the last three OF -four years
have developed dangerous tendency to
overdo physical exercise. OF course wo-
men, as we'll as men, should regularly ex-
erclse, but it is most important that it be
judiciously done. For example, the good
effects of brisk walking for mile night
and morning are obvious. If the woman
is strong, horseback riding will prove in
MIGRATING; but the women who take
regular daily walks of from five to ten
miles, and remain for hours in the sad
die, on big, powerful, hard gated trot-
ter, are invariably lin this country the
slight, nervous, why little creatures, who
have not pound Of flesh to lose. Con-
sequently, this wear and tear on their
strength and nerves will, in time, cause
a collapse, especially if this violent exer-
else has been adopted after living for
wears life of Incidence. Gould stout
women be persuaded to overcome the
feeling of extreme fatigue which they ex-
perience after their first long walks, and
continue them regularly-and at rapid
gait, as near running as possible, for a
few week, the burden of superduous flesh
would soon be reduced, and their former
activity return. The trouble is the
wrong women do the exercising.
Do not carry it to extremes. Cut down
your walk to two or three miles a day.
Take your ride in the morning, and limit
II toan hour. You cannot get too much
fresh air, SO drive and stroll out-of-doors
as much as you can, dut n not wear out
your body and bring premature lines
into your face by excessive exercise.

CULTIvATING THE SMALL GRAINS.

The notion of some agricultural writers
that wheat, rye, oats and barley would
in few years be cultivated, as corn is
now cultivated, is hardly warranted by
any present experience. The spring
small grains are undoubtedly benefited
on rich land by narrowing when they
come up, because On such land this in
duces the plants to tiller or spread, and
shoot up more stalks than they otherwise
would. But when the plant is nearing
the time for heading out cultivation
would certainly be harmful. 1t would
induce too rank growth, causing the
straw to fall down, and preventing the
heads from filling. The check to small
grain from each stem crowding its mel gh-
Dor prevents any from getting an over
supply of nitrogen, and is better for the
crop than growing each plant by itself.
The scattering oat plants that sometimes
appear in hoed crops, passing through
the excrement of granted horses, usually
rust 50 badly that neither straw nor grain
is worth anything.-Boston Culta0ator.
