FLAX MEAL. rnR cALvEa.

At the Iowa station experiments have
been in progress to determine the feed
ing value of ground flaxseed for young
calves. A bull and heifer calf of both
Holstein and Shorthorn breeds were
chosen, the two bulls being fed on whole
milk, and the two heifers on milk
skinned after being set twelve hours,
with as much haxseed as they could as
simulate without securing. These ex-
periments lasted through three months,
the calves being weighed every fifteen
days.
The results indicate: 1. That a ration

substituting the ground faxseed-4.

meal 81 cents per pound, was rs cents

economical to feed calves skim milk and

GROWING oUcUMBERs FOR PICKLES.

We do not suppose it would be pro-
fitable for the great majority of farmers
to undertake to grow cucumbers for
pickles. Immense quantities OF these
pickles are annually consumed, it is true;
but it doesn't require very large area
to grow an immense lot of cucumbers.
Yet for farmers in a locality favorable for
the purpose it might be worth while to
make the4fial, for the crop is prof.a-
BILE one when properly managed, yield
ing sometimes as high as S75 per acre
above all expenses.
The conditions most favorable to sue
cess in pickle-growing are nearness to a
large city, or facility for disposing Of
the product in fresh state to a factory
in which vegetables are picked either in
salt or vinegar; or, in default of these,
the necessary appliances for picking on
the farm, for supplying the home or dis
tant markets. A cucumber grower
should be in q good apple country, where
abundance of cider could be obtained at
small cost for conversion into vinegar.
The cultivation of cucumbers for
pickles is very simple. A warm, rich,
sandy loan is the best soil. 1t should be
well manured and plowed deeply, in Or

llrnrs for Emergencies.

The list of drugs that will raise the
body temperature Is not very extended,
but many OF them have powerful actions
in this respect and a general knowledge
of them is of value to every intelligent
person. In sudden emergencies when
the temperature drops far below the
normal they may prove of inestimabl c
value. The most common thing used
for This purpose is alcohol when given
in small doses, bat the effect on the
temperature is only temporary, followed
generally by a reactive tendency which
carries the temperature the other way.
The drug that is the most powerful in
this respect is beladonna, which will
rapidly raise the temperature of the
body. Similar to this the so-caled
chloride of gold, which if pushed to its
highest effect will not only Use the

to considerable depth. The variety
best suited for picking is the Green
Prolific The time for sowing the seed
is usually about the middle of July.
In planting, the ground should be
marked out four feet each way, deep
furrow being made so as to leave room
for a good shovelful of rich compost at
each intersection. This should be worked
in with the spade or hoe and the ground
leveled. Five or six seeds are enough
for each hill, which will require between
one and two pounds per acre. When
the plants are well started aud all danger
from insects is past, they should be
thinned out to three or four plants to the
hill.
An experienced cucumber grower
recommends that when the seed is sown
a broadcast dressing Of three or four
hundred pounds Of Peruvian guano per
acre should be applied, as that fertilizer
seems to have an especially good effect
on the crop. BY the addition of four
hundred pounds of guano, costing SIS,
to the previous preparation, over three
hundred thousand cucumbers to the acre
were obtained, which is double the
average yield. AS the crop was sold for
$1.5 per thousand. the expenditure OF
SIS added nearly 5000 to the price re-
ceived per acre.
The cultivation required is to keep the
soil loose by frequent stirring until the
vines cover the ground. The main vines
should be pinched at the ends to keep
them within bounds and encourage the
growth of lateral branches, which a-e
the most prolific of fruit, as they bear
chiefly pistillate blossoms, while those of
the main branches are mostly stamenate
or barren flowers. The fruit should be
gathered every morning as soon as it has
reached the proper size, from two to
three inches in length.
The principal enemies of the cucumber
are lice, which prey upon the leaves, and
the striped beetle and its larve. The
former may be dealt with by picking off
the first infested leaves, by which the
rapid spread of the pest may be pre-
vented. The striped beetle should be
treated with dusting of finely ground
gypsum; its larve, a small, slender,
white worm, which gnaws into the roots,
may be successfully combatted by pour

HOW TO DEHORN.

Horns on my cattle are thing Of the
past, writes Waldo i. Brown. Every
elf l raise now is treated when a week
or so old, and the horns are killed. l
get stick of caustic potash at the drug
store; throw the calf on its side, so as
to hold it easily, and wet the hair on
spot the size of half dollar over the
embryo horn, and then rub on the potash
thoroughly. When l began using the
potash did not rub it on long enough,
and got one or two one horned ami
mails; now rub till the HAIR comes off,
and the blood begins TO start through
the skin, and it represses the horns eff.
fectually. l would not use any liquid
preparation of potash, as there is dan
ger of its running dowu where it is not
wanted, or icing spilled by a sudden
movement of the calf; never tried the
liquid but once, and came near putting
out an eye. Be careful not to get the
stick potash on your fingers; wrap sew
eral thicknesses of paper or cloth around
it.
The dehorning of grown cattle is a
simple process; takes but few seconds
il the COW is properly fastened, and
do not think it is very painful, for the
cattle begin to eat as soon as the horns
are off, and cows do not shrink in their
milk at all. l dehorned the first week
in June Holstein that was boss of the
herd, and from being kept IN a small lot,
had become entirely too handy with her
horns, opening gates and doors. Since
her horns were taken off she has become
most proper and respectable COW; the
smallest heifer IN the herd makes her
walk away from her feed, Or drives her
where she pleases. The saw is much
better, think, than nippers; the latter
is likely to crush the bone aud prevent
healing so quickly. The only applica.
tion we made after saving was to fill the
cavities with wheat -four, and although
it was hot weather and fly time, the
wounds healed over in a few days

WHISKY AND STOUT,

The first stage @, drunkenness is disorgan-
ization of the stomach, and this is produced
much more quickly by subjecting it to the
irritation of two or three stimulants at the
same time than by continuing to drink the
same for a much longer period. Again, the
stomach of a person accustomed to taking
alcohol usually becomes Injured to whatever
may be his favorite and most frequent drink
and much more of this would be required to
make him drunk than of any other

lowed the shock to the stomac is so great
that it will in some cases produce not only
intoxication but rapid iusensibility, and
even death, il the dose is strong enough.
Some forms of alcohol are singularly antag-
onistic and therefore produce the collapse o.
the stomach, and hence of the whole system,
much more quickly than Others.
Perhaps the most fatal is a fixture OF
equal parts OF whisky and strong stout, a
draught OF which has been known to kill a
man more quickly than an overdose of

Not the ignorant alone feel its deadly touch:

ciety, and defies strong Governments, whose
arm it paralyzes. 1t annuls the potent min
istrations OF religion by locking against them
the minds and hearts of men. All forms of
evil and misery are its allies and march in
its track. An eminent thinker devoted to
the work of Temperance Reform, thus
describes the drunkard's family;

NUMBER OF PARTICLES In SOILS.

The size of the particles of a soil
largely determines its water-holding
capacity, and thereby its fitness for GER
tain crops. NJ. Whitney, of the Mary
land station tR. '91, is investigating
farm soils in the well-eluipped labora-
tories of Johns Hopkins University, un-
der the supervision of the station, and
aided by the United States Department
Of Agriculture. The accuracy and
thoroughness of the investigation is a
credit to American science. Among
other results, it was found that no crop
can be successfully grown, unless highly
maDurcd or irrigated, on a soil having so
few as LOO, 900, 600 particles in a
teaspoonful weighing gram. Good

1t is no proof that a man is not a good
historian simply because he knows Moth
ing OF the Battle Of the Boards. The
event belongs to Kentucky history, and
Collins, quoting from the autobiography
oi DIR. j. j. Polk, in which Colonel
d James Ray is represented as telling this
particular story, gives it as follows:
"About 1888, when the Indians still
r0ved the forests, plundering and muir
during the whites, three men left Har-
rods Station to search for horses which
had st-ayed of. They pursued the trail
through the rich pea vine and cane for
some miles. Frequently they saw signs
of Indians in their vicinity, and moved
with cautious steps. They continued to
search until darkness, aud cold rain
drove them to the shelter Of a deserted
log cabin, thickly surrounded by cane
aud matted over with grape vines. They
determined not to strike a light, as the
Indians knew the location Of the cabin,
aud, like themselves, might seek its
friendly shelter aud dispute their right
TO possession. They concluded to ascend
into the loft of the cabin, the floor of
NhiNh " as Nih bohlhs it7AiuH hbph ibhbN
poles. In their novel possession they
lay down silently, side by side, each man
holding his trusty rifle in his arms. They
had not been in this perious position
long when six well armed Indians en-
tered the cabin, placed their guns and
other implements Of war and hunting in
corner, struck light aud began to
make the usual demonstration of Joy on
such occasions. One of our heroes de.
termining to know the number of the
Indians-hc was the middle man of the
three, and lying on his back-as hilarity
and mirth grew noisier, attempted to
turn over aud get peep at things be-
low. His comrades held him, to keep
him from turning over; in the struggle
one of the poles broke, and with
tremendous crash the clapboards and the
men fell into the midst of the aiTrighted
Indians, who, with a yell of terror fed
from the house, leaving their guns
never returned. The scarcely less terri
fed whites remained in quiet possession
of the cabin, and in the morning re-
turned to the station with their trophies.
Whenever the three heroes met in after
life they laughed immoderately over theii
strange deliverance, and what they called
the Battle of the Boards. "-Courier-

MEDICAL TEMPERANCE IN EUROPE.

1t is admitted by professional men that
In the struggle to check nebriety, which has
SO largely occupied the most cultured in
tellects on the continent of Europe, very
little has been done in the advocacy of prac-
tical abstinence The prevailing idea, it is
ical profession there has been that the in
crease of insanity and of other evils from
drinking has arisen from the heavier slco-
hols, ana that pure, unsophisticated spirits,
wines and beers are really temperance bev-
erages. That departure is being taken in
this respect by members of the medical pro-
fession is evident from the fact that such
men as Professor Forel, of Zurich; Professor
Bange, of Basle and Dr. Wilhelm Bode, of
Dresden, have established and are vigorously
supporting total abstinence societies in those
cities.--New York Tribune.
