South American Vampires.

The original meaning of vampire,
which appellation has been given to
certain blood-sucking bats, was that il
was unusually supposed to be the soul
of a dead man who quits the buried
body by night to suck the blood of liv-
ing persons. This belief chiefly pre-
walls in Slavonic lands. 1t is thought
that those who turn vampires are gen
orally wizards, and persons who have
come to violent end, or have been
cursed by their parents or by the church.
Travellers describe the wounds inflicted
by the large sharp-edged incisors of the
South American vampire bat as being
similar to those caused by razor wher
shaving; portion of the skin is shaved
off, and large number of severed ca
pillary vessels being thus exposed, a
constant flow of blood is maintained.
From this source the blood is drawn
through the exceedingly narrow gullet
too narrow for any thing solid &c
pass-into the intestine-like stomach.
whence it is probably drawn off during
the slow process of digestion, while the
animal, stated with food, is hanging in a
state a sorpidity from the roof of its
cave OF from the inner sidfs Of hollow
tyse.-Chicago Tribune,

LIVESTOCK NOTES.

GROOMING is us healthful in the winter
as in summer.
WARM the bits before putting them
into the horses mouths.
HORSES should be turned out for excr.
else every pleasant day.
To GET the best results handling and
training should begin when the colt is
very young.
KEEPING the horses heels and legs
clean in the winter is the best preven-
tive for scratches.
STANDING in wet manure tends to
make the feet of the horse tender. Keep
the stable lean.
IT is generally best to keep che team
well shod during the winter to use on
the road when slippery.
COLTS will make better growth and
development if they are given light
feed of ground oats every day.
CHANGE the feed often enough to keep
all stock with good appetites. They
will thrive better on less feed
If you have the right kind of horses
the buyer will come after them; if the
wrong kind you will have to hunt
buyer.
SOME people who give the cattle the
best of care neglect the hogs The hog
will repay good care as well as other
kinds of stock.
GUARD against constipation in swine.
The fat forming foods tend to produce
costiveness, The opposite kinds food
tend to prevent it,
BE careful of the eyes of animals.
They are just as delicate as the eyes OF
human beings, People often work
around stock very carelessly with forks.
THE swine breeder who feeds oil meal
occasionally will not regret it, 1t is
tonic and regulator of the bowels.
Care should be taken not to feed too
much.
GROOMING is cheap way of improv-
ing the condition of the horse. 1t can
be done at the simple cost of curry
comb and brush and the expenditure of
little elbow grease which will never
be missed.
ALWAYS remember that hog is
hog, and consequently, as the animal
has no judgment about 'eating, you
must exercise judgment for it, Better
let the animal go little hungry than
to feed it beyond its capacity to utilize
the food.
THE manure of the pig pen is very
valuable. One writer estimates0 the
value of pigs manure at a dollar and
forty-two cents for every one hundred
pounds from the time of birth to time Of
slaughtering. There is no better man.

Cotton-seed Meal for Cows.

Henry Morse, of Delaware County,
N. Y, who has become wealthy by
dairying, says that he has fed cotton.
seed meal to his cows for eight years,
the first four in connection with other
grains and after that pure, except while
the cows were dry and on coarse fod-
der they were given wheat bran and
such grain as was produced on the
farm. AS soon as the cows came in
full milk they were given hay twice a
day and three quarts of cotton-seed
meal in the morning and two quarts at
night. The morning ration of meal
was mixed with six quarts of sweet,
SKINNED milk. When at pasture they
received two quarts of meal day.
Following this practice he was able to
keep 25 per cent. more cows and mako
25 per cent. more butter per COW than
by any other grain method. The ma
nure from the cows fed SO heavily on
cotton-seed meal was very rich and
gave about double the crops Of hay
that other mnnures gave. The pastures
also show it, and the increased value Of
the manure nearly pays for the cotton
seed 9eal-N. s. Homestead.

In this democratic nineteenth cent
-ury, society" in the old and aristocrat-

People of certain class and certain

times because other people of the same

There is a universal tendency toward

Social habits are formed on the models

HARVEST MITE (A) HARVEST MITE OBJ
The engravings are greatly magnifed; the
actual natural size Of the full.grown insect Is
shown by the very small dot seen just below
the body Of each.
Central Illinois, tells us the ''chiggers"
are common and very annoying there.
The true "Chigres" (Puter irritans) are
found south of the United States in
Mexico, etc. The two insects in the en-
cravings are the offenders of this coun-
try, the irritating harvest mite being
most common.
The mites get upon the skin, especial
ly the lower limbs, and climb up over
the lower half of the body, occasionally
over the whole, and with their strong
mandibles and arms, or elbowed Max
illa, cut and dig their way down into
the true skin, causing great irritation,
which results in small swellings, red
ness and inflammation, causing an ir-
resistible scratching. The insect is
often scratched" out before it can
burrow deeply, thus giving relief.
Sulphur applications, the same as for
the itch mite, or kerosene will kill the
insects and allay inflammation. Strong
salt water is effective: A severe attack
in Kansas was cured for the writer by
prolonged bath in Salt Lake, Utah.
In Florida, mothers informed us that
they used "scorched butter" on their
children who were much annoyed by
these pests.-0range Judd Farmer

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The Henry Reed the Baptist mis-
sion steamer on the Upper Congo, ran
5000 miles last year in its missionary
work, The American Baptists also have
a mission steamer on the Lower Congo,

SS5, 900, 900 on church building, repair
ing, etc, during the twenty-five years
ending with 1884 The church spends n
million dollars yearly on these objects.
To elevate above the spirit of the
age must be regarded as the end of edu-
cation, and this must stand clearly de-
veloped before us ere we mark out the
appointed road. The child is not to be
educated for the present; for this is
done without our aid, increasingly and
powerfully; but for the remote future,
and often in opposition to the immedi-
ate future. Jean Paul Richter.
The London Spectator reports that
in the city of Liverpool not less than
twenty-five gentlemen and five ladies

Animals that Are Insenslble to the Effects

Neither difference of organization in
animals nor in the constitution of the
poisonous substance generally afford
any clew for interpreting an eXcep-
tional want of effect Unaccountable
is the immunity of rabbits against bel
ladonna leaves (Atropa belladonna,
deadly nightshade). You may feed
them with belladonna for weeks with
out observing the least toxic symp-
toms. The meat of such animals, how
ever, proves poisonous to any one who
eats it, producing the same symptoms
as the plant. Pigeons and various 9th
err herbivora are also to some degree
safe from the effects Of this poison,
while in warm bloodcd carnivora 1t
causes paralysis and asphyXia. In
frogs the effect is different
one, consisting of spasms. The
meat of goats which had fed
on hemlock has sometimes accustomed
poisonous effects Chickens are nearly
hardy against nuX vomica and the ex-
tremely dangerous alkaloid, strych'
nine, containedin it, while in the small
est amount it is fatal torodents. More
remarkable yet in this respect is the
immunity of Choloepus Hoffmanni, a
kind of sloth, living on the island of
Ceylon. which, when given ten grains
of strychnine, was not much affected.
Pigeons are possessed of high immunity
from morphine, the chief alkaloid OF
opium, as well as from belladonna.
Eight grains were required to kill a
pigeon not much less than the mortal
dose for man. Cats are extremely
sesitive OF fox-glove Digitaiis purpurea),
which on the contrary may be given to

doses.-W. Bernhardt, in Popular Sci
