AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

THE cows should not be eating while
being MIXED, but stand with eyes
closed chewing their cuds and thinking
of nothing but letting the milk come
full head.
To PRESERVE the wagon wheels SO
they need not be taken to the shop,
heat linseed oil to the boiling point and
pour it in trough. Having enough to
cover the felloes, turn the wheel slowly
through this boiling oil.
WHEN the pasture begins to fail it is
best to commence cutting off and feed
ing green crop. The second growth
of clover, the crop of millet, sorghum,
sown corn or rice, can be used to good
advantage for this purpose.
HENRY TALcoTT, dairy commissioner
of Ohio, says: 81 can make from $50 ia
$75 per COW easier in winter dairying
than can from SIS to $40 in summer
consequently, have my cows come in
in October, November and December.
The most productive market gardens
In the neighborhood Of Paris are where
the gardeners hire the right to put sol
upon piece of barren land; providing
in their lease for the right to take away
the soil when they give up the occu
pancy.
EXPERIMENTS at the Wisconsin sta
ton show that the gooseberry mildev
is one of the easiest fungi to destroy
The disease yields readily to copper so
buttons, which should be applied till the
fruit is half grown; after that the us'

DO NOT put more cows on your hiret
mems hands than they can milk with
out physical discomfort. Some mel
can milk twelve cows comfortably
where others would have tired hands
and arms at the eighth animal. Tiret
human muscles cannot properly drair
tie milk from the cows uddcr.

Two GREAT REMEDIES.

The human citadel is open to attacks
from two sources and aside from accidents
these two are the avenues from which all
of the maladies that aftlict the race spring.
The first of these are what is known as
the excretory organs-the lungs, the kid
news and the skin. These suffer from
congestion which takes the form of colds.
Starting from what is called cold ths
maladies that result are wide spread rang
ing from a cough to consumption. They
attack all ages and all stations. No one
is free from these troubles. There is,
however, a remedy that is a safeguard.
This is REID'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE. 1t contains no
poison, and it will heal any form of lung
trouble or any malady that arises from a
cold. The other class of disease arise
from arrangement of the digestive organs
and result in constipation. When the
bowels do not act the stomach soon refuses
to digest the food and we are troubled
with Indigestion and long train of dis
orders that embrace large range of mala-
dies. THE LAXATIVE GUM DROPS
will correct any difficulty of this sort.
They contain nothing deletefouS, but are
safe and pleasant. Get them of any dealer.

able Honor.
To tell the plain truth, the simple
faith of our fathers was not their most
conspicuous virtue. twas simple only
in being very elementary character.
When Dane and Saxon drank together
in taverns it used to be necessary to
watch the drinl1er, lest the entertainer
should stab him as he raised the pot to
his lips. The vassal, in swearing fealty,
held his hands between those of his
lord, because an earlier participant in
the ceremony had once used his free
dom of movement to run his superior
through the body in a very sly way.
They were q rough set-rough in every
thing, and especially in their diver
sions. While prize fighting survives,
perhaps we ought not to be too squeam-
ish. Still, exception may be taken to
the old custom of 'the mad bull"
which tlourished under John of Gaunt
at Tutbury Castle more than five CEN
turtles ago. A bull used to be turned
out once year for the amusement of
the town. His horns were sawed
down to the roots, his tail was
cut off, his body lardcd all over,
and pepper was put in his nose, to
assist him in running amuck among
the inhabitants. After this he was
taken to the bull ring and baitcd by
dogs. The dogs themselves had not
always q pleasant time of it. For CEN
turtles it was the custom to whip them
on fair days, and every self-respecting
small boy provided himself with whip
for that purpose. The custom arose at
a distribution of victuals at fair time at
the door of one of the monasteries A
dog strollcd into the larder and de-
camped with a joint of meat; the ind;g-
nant pilgrims at the door gave chase to
aim and from that time his posterity
were doomed to whipping. He ate,
and the others suffered for it, in the
accepted way. This amiable practice
endured to our time. The men were
not much better treated than the dogs
or the bulls. Our Saxon forefathcrs
bought and sold each other freely until
William the Conqucror put some check
on the practice. Long after they ceased
to deal in white men they kept up Il
brisk trade in black. 1t was no uncom-
mon thing to see fugitive slaves advcr-
tised in the newspapers. Run away

AN ELEPHANTS sAoAclTY.
Remarkable Intelligence Displayed by One
OF tho Huge Animals.

OF tho Huge Animals.
Stories of the elephants sagacity are
everywhere rife In India, and, indeed,
every one who happens to have seen
these creatures employed in government
contract labor will scarcely have failed
TO notice numerous instances of it him
self
An engineer officer, who was stationed
at Calcutta few years back, was pos
scsscd of very valuable elephant
which, to his great grief, contracted n
virulent disease of the eyes, and, after
suffering with it for few days, became
completely blind His owner thereupon
applied to resident surgeon, stating
the case, and asking if he could do any
thing for the relief of his favorite. The
surgeon, after examining the elephants
eyes, said that he was willing to try
the effect of nitrate of silver on one of
Them that being remedy which was
very beneficial in the treatment of the
human eye afflicted with similar dis
ease The animals driver was accord
ingly summoned, and the great beast
by his fundamentally made to lie
down. The doctor then applied the nj
trate of silver, and the elephant, utter
ing a roar of pain, jumped up and be-
haved in such an outrageous fashion
that it was some hours before he could
be Gained down and secured in his
stable again.
A day or two afterward the doctor
called again, and found that his appli-
cation had worked wonders, the sight
of the one eye being almost entirely re-
stored, and in consequence determined
to operate in similar manner on the
other. He was apprehensive of the ami.
malls behavior, more especially as he
was now able to see, and suggested that
he be properly secured before he oper.
ated upon him. However, the elephant
had recognized the doctors voice, and,
to everybody's intense establishment
| followed him of his own accord out OF
the stabk into the open, lay down with
out any persuasion, placing his head
quie,l on one side with the diseased
eye upward, then curled up his trunk
and drew in deep breath, like any hui
man being might do who was about tc
undergo painful operation, ant
awaited the doctors pleasure. The lat
ter used his brush as dexterously a'
possible, and applied the caustic a.
quickly as he could and at the samt
time perform the work thorou hly
During the entire operation the ee
plant, so far from behaving as he hat
previously done, uttered not sound
and when it was over got up with {
sigh of satisfaction, and manifested
by every means in his power the de
light and gratitude he experienced a
its completion, gently caressing the sur
geon with his trunk and making othel
similar demonstrations as he walked
back to his stake, and, despite the pair
he was suffering, u.tere no sound.
This incident, which was well know
in lcutta, not only showed memory
but high order of reasoning power
for the animal, remembering the bcne
fit he had received from the first appli
cation, was, in spite of the pain i
caused him, not only willing but anS
ious to undergo the second, in orde
that his other eye might be cured in lilS
manner.-St. Louis G.obe-Democrat.

A Suggestion About Wells.

A few fashionable women have fol-
lowed the revived mode of wearing the
veil beneath the hat brim instead of
over it, but it is fashion that is not
generally liked, for the veil IS apt to
press the hair down so tightly that the
effect is neither pretty nor comfortable
But to avoid this, if one desires to adopt
the mode, let the fabric composing the
veil be cut on the bias. This is some
what wasteful way of cutting it, but is
far preferable to wearing veil that
draws unpleasantly across the face or
one that is adjusted SO loosely that it
slips off the edge of the bat, leaving a
ludicrous gap of waved hair just over
the fore head and eyes.-N. Y. Post.
