Senator Plumb died at his lodgings
In Washington City on the goth inst,
OF apoplexy, caused by overwork. His
death was quite unexpected. though
his disease had been announced
through premonitory symptoms for
some time before. His physician had
adm0nished him to cease from all
work, but the advice was neglected.
"Died from overwork" is the verdict
Of his medical adviser. This event
should enlighten those who imagine
that our public men have little to do.
The fact is most of them are over
worked. Tie public makes heavy de-
mands on both their time and strength.
.8enator Plumb was attentive to his
public duties. The state of Kansas
has lost valuable Senator and the
Republican party one of its most active
supporters.

POULTRY.
Points in Poultry Keeping


At meeting of the Lancaster, Pa,
Agricultural and Horticultural society,
DR.. G. Greene read the following essay
upon the subject of poultry raising:
"Forforty years, with occasional in
terruptions, it has been my fortune (as
boy and mani to care for poultry, and
some experiences l have gathered DUR
ing these years l propose now to make
public for all who are interested In the
matter, and for convenience'ss sake will
arrange the facts under different heads.
l. Hens, if properly kept, are a
source OF profit and comfort to the
owner.
2. The eggs can be increased in size
and richness by proper feeding OF the
fowls.
8. They require variety of food,
and get excessively tired OF one kind.
4. The egg contains almost all the
constituents of the human body. and
hence the hen must have variety Of
food to construct it.
g. No other product of animal or
vegetable life contains substances eX-
actly like the albumen and yolk Of an
egg.
6. The hen ceases laying when I'M
properly fed. or when In diseased con-
dition.
Z. They require warm, clean, prop
| erly ventilated house for winter
months.
s. Ii by neglect vermin infest the
! bird roosts and house they should al
| once be removed,as they are deleterious
| to the health of these friends of man.
9. The droppings Of hens should be
occasionally removed. They should
not be allowed to accumulate. The
floors should be covered with loan OF
sand.
10. AS hens require a great deal OF
water. drinking only small quantity
at time, it should be supplied abun'
| dainty, and kept clean and fresh:
| II. AS they require, and must have,
| carbonate and phosphate OF lime fol
their shells, it must be given them In
unstinted quantities, and in the most
convenient manner for them to pick
and swallow into the crops.
IL. These requirements will be found
in old plastering. broken oyster shells,
and, best of all, in fresh bones, with
| some of the gristle and meat attached.
| 1t should be cut on log, with a Ratchet,
every day. The strife made by fowls to
| get at it when offered them will plainly
prove to you that they like and need 1t.
The instincts of the hen in summer,
with proper range, will teach 1t what
and where to collect the variety of food
required. In winter, when housed, man
must supply it to them.

CHICAGO, Sept 3.-The old question
of 500 line differentials on passenger
business between st. Paul and Eastern
points was once more discussed at
conference of all the interested roads
to-day. The 500, the Canadian Pacific
and the competing lines in the Central
Traffic and Western Passenger associ-
atoms were represented. So many
points were involved in the general
subject. however, that no agreement
could be reached, and tonight the stu-
alton remains unchanged. The Chicago
st. Paul roads were generally willing
TO allow the 500 line a differential of
S1.50 between st. Paul and the seaboard
cities. provided 1t would agree to pay
no higher commissions in the ter
ritory west of st. Paul than are paid by
the Western Passenger association lines.
The 500 would probably have accepted
this proviso had it been permitted to APP
ply the ditferential via Mackinac only,
and to make any rate it pleased via
Sault Ste. Marie, but its western COM
petltors would not entertain any such
proposition. 1t was proposed TO sub
NIT the whole questions of ditferentials,
commissions and routes to arbitration.
but two negative votes upset this plan.
Traffic Manager BuSenbark. of the Chi
cago, ST. Paul & Kansas City, offered a
resolution providing that the question
of whether the 500 line is entitled to
any differential by any roads whatever
should be submitted to three arbitrator,
one to be selected by the Central Traffic
association, another by the Western
Passenger association, and the third by
olution was killed by one dissenting
voice, and the meeting Immediately adj
journed without any arrangement for a
future conference on the subject.

Sun-DPying Apples.

The following account of an Austria
liam method for drying apples is not
without its lessons to American fruit
growers: There is no doubt that the
artificial method of drying apples is the
most expeditions, and makes the best
color where a little sulphur is used !:
but, at the same time, the sun-dried
apples have the best flavor. and are the
best for home use on that account. The
apparatus is simply an ordinary table
IL feet long (but it can be made of any
slze) and feet wide. The side boards
are put on nearly flush with the top.
One feature of the arrangement
is that from the ends you can
draw out two long trays of
the whole length of the table, with legs
at the end to support them, thus iucreas-
ing the surface to nearly three times.
Round the top of each tray or drawer is
small ledge. tackled on to keep the
slices from falling off. Over the top are
few light, movable rafterS and ridge
pole. and there is light drill cover
which fits over them and ties round the
table under the drawers. so as to cover
up all secure at night, or if a shower
comes on. Two other drawers could be
made if required, to pull out sideways.
With the aid of an American corer,
parer, and slicer, you can get through a
great many apples in short time, and
the cores and skins can be dropped into
bucket and fed to the pigs; or they
will make excellent jelly, If you are SO
disposed. The slices must be stirred
pretty often, and, when quite dry, hung
up in scrim bags for month or more,
when you can press them into dry casks
or boxes, and you have then a good store
of wholesome food for home use. Care
must be taken against rain or damp, as
in hot weather drying fruit is more apt
to spoil than in the cooler ana more
breezy atmosphere of the following
months, and you will find the morning
the best time to gather and slice the
apples, as those cut in the afternoon are
more apt to spoil. Apples should not
be too green when sliced, or they are
apt to be very acid, and require more
sugar as well; and they should not be
too ripe or they will spoil-Dor should
they have bruises on them. Perfect
apples, just approaching ripe, are the
best. but very fair samples can be made
even out of windfalls."

The NIiIIet Crop,

One of the most important feed crops
now grown on the Western farm is mill
let. The German farmers were the first
to introduce its cultivation into most
neighborhoods, and its steady growth
into popularity has been brought about
by the feeding results accomplished by
these people. Its value as cattle food
is destined to make it an indispensable
crop on every farm where cattle form a
part of the stock. AS milk producing
food 1t has but few Superiors and is
highly spoken of by all dairymen who
have given it an intelligent trial. The
many ways of feeding it, and
various conditions of growth and
preparation of the crop for
use as food has much to do
with the feeding value. 1t IS an ex
cellent green food for cows, cut green
and fed to them morning and evening,
independent of the pasture the cows
may get. 1t is also valuable food
cut and cured and fed as hay. Its great
est milk producing value is thought by
some TO be had by cutting it as green as
possible, curing 1t as hay crop, then
cut fine by running it through straw
or fodder cutter and mix it with corn
meal, middlings or bran. 1t is gener-
ally believed that millet fed in this way
Will produce more milk than any other
grass crop prepared and fed in like
manner.
All good authority recommends cut
ting millet before 1t fully natures, if it
is to be used as hay. The majority of
advice recommends the cutting as soon
as the seed forms; In fact, no variety of
grass for hay is permitted to get fully
ripe, only by those farmers who are yet
following the old time methods of
making hay. The practice of early cut
ting of all forage crops is now conceded
a great improvement, because the young
growth is easily digested. and contains
much nourishing food that is lost when
it is allowed to stand until ripe, and its
material becomes indigestiDle. Millet
is crop easily grown, and may be raised
successfully on any soil where oats will
do we'll. Where hay land is scarce millet
is especially valuable. as there are but
few forage crops that will exceed it in
yield and feeding value.
The time to buy millet seed for SOW
ing is in the fall season, or as soon as
the crop is threshed. 1t is then cheaper
than at any time following, and the seed
may be had sound and kept free from
damage by nroViding dry place for it.

Headache.

We are often asked for cure for
headache, says the Youths Companion.
A certain wise physician classes head
aches among the ailments which have
baffied his profession. At medical
meeting member said: ibid any of
you ever cure headache? / never
did," Several doctors having mentioned
their treatment, he replied: "Oh. you
only relieve it. l can do that; but have
you ever cured it?''
No one could answer that. The shops
contain noStrums enough, but did any
one ever find himself more than tenn
porarily relieved by them? Nature, UNI
aided, sometimes effects permanent
cure by changes which the system I'M
dergoes in the process of time. Persons
who have been subject to headache are
often more or less fully relieved after
about the age Of fifty. This Is perhaps
q result Of the Shrinkage OF the brain
and the hardening of the tissues, which
begins at about that period. Changes
in ones condition or habits or in eli
mate may sometimes effect cure by
removing the disturbing cause.
The causes OF headache are many.
Some grave headaches, are due to cere-
bral disease-meningitiS tumor, abscess.
softening of the brain. In these cases
there will be other symptoms pointing to
the cause. Other cases are OverfulneSS
of the blood-vesselS, caused by the con-
ditiOn of the heart; plethoric condition
of the body; mental eXcitements. Such
cases are marked by flushed face.
glittering eyes, beating i'll the ears,
and giddiness on STOPPING.
Sick-headache has been described as a
'nerve Storm" radiating from a cere-
bral center. 1t is often connected with
an hereditary tendency and nervous
tendency, and it comes on in periodical
attacks, the exciting cause being some
form of exhaustion. 1t may be intensely
severe for few hours and pass off after
vomiting. If no vomiting attends it it is
known as nervous headache. The main
thing is to ascertain the exciting cause
and guard against it carefully. Head
ache may be due to defective action of
the liver, constipation, inactive condi
ton of the skin, poor blood, excessive
mental eXertlon, exhaustion from IA
tIgue, the condition of the stomach,
eye-strain, or rheumatism of the Seal p.
Some headaches are purely neuralgia.
1t will be seen, then, that no one can
suggest cure for headache. In severe
cases the aid of physician is needed to
ascertain the cause and give proper adj
vice; but in most cases ali intelligent
person may himself ascertain the cause,
and secure, in the main, exemption
from attacks by attention to the general
laws OF health.
