Do You measure your farm by bushels
or acres?
II your horses could talk, what would
they say about you?
Do you enjoy oil your food without
salt? How about your stock?
No farmer can afford to buy machinery
that he cannot shelter. This rule is in
variable.
The porosity of the soft-burned tile
amounts 10 nothing. The water enters at

The price OF wool is not very satisfactory.
There are too many loop holes in the
present protection law.
Do not uee lime in the poultry houses
or stables. Itsets the nitrogen free. Use
plaster, which retains it.
The cheapest meat that farmers can
have is turkeys lattened ON his ieighbor's
farm. These foragers cause i'll feeling.

The depth of the tile regulates the
water level in the ground. Give the
roots OF the plants plenty of room to grow
down.
Every farm house should have a few
shade trees around it. Set ont few of
one or two fast growing varieties this

1t never pays to sell horse that ia not

buy poor horses and fatten them for

It is poor we'll that cannot drain all

All harness should DO oiled frequently.

bly,, before we can get look at the face OF
the patient, wo are obliged to request that
the blinds may be drawn up, in order that
the rays OF a much greater healer than the
most able PHYSICIAN can ever hope 10 be
may be admitted. Too often the comp.i-
ance with this request reveals a condition
of room which, in q state OF darkness, 10
almost inevitably one OF disorder every
where; foods, medicines, furniture, bed
ding misplaced, dust and stray leavings
in all directions
In brief, there is nothing 80 bad as
dark sick-room il is "a If the attendants
were anticipating the death of the patient;
and, il the reason for it be asked, the
answer is as inconsistent az the act. The
reason usually offered is that the patient
cannot bear the light; as though the light
could not be cut of from the patient by
curtain or screen, and as though TO darken
one part OF the room il were necessary to
darken the whole of il. The real reason Is
an old superstitious practice, which once
prevailed 30 intensely that the sick, sui
fering from the most terrible diseases,
smallpox Tor instance, were shut up In
darkness, their beds surrounded with red
curtains. during the whole OF their illness.
The red curtains are now pretty aearly
given up, but the darkness is still accred-
tied with some m yetcrious curative virtue.
cit is not only that dirt and disorder are
results OF darkness, great remedy ls lost.
Sunlight is the remedy lost, and the loss is
momentous. Sunlight difused through q
room warns and clarifies the mir. 1t has
a direct influence on the minute organic
poisons, a distinctive influence which is
most precious, and it has cheerful effect
upon the mind. The sick should never be
gloomy. and in the presence of the light
the shadows of gloom fly away. Happily
the hospital ward, Notwithstanding its
many defects. and it has many, is so lar
favored that il is blessed with the light of
the sun whenever the sun shines. In pri-
vate practice the same remedy ought TO be
extended TO the patients of the household,
and the first words of the physician or
surgeon on entering the sick room should
be the dying words of Goethe, More
light, more light ="

When hogs were allowed to obtain
their living on the commons and in the

much consideration. People have now
learned that the greatest profits in pork
production comes from the first half year

can be produced more cheaDly per pound
than one weighing above that figure This
IL not done. however, by so dwaring q

il is twelve months old. but it is by Wig

months-old pigs that average 250 pounds,
thus considerably exceeding a gain of one

pound per day is very satisfactory, but
nothing less should be 20.

The Science az Breeding
Senator Stanford, the owner of the fs-
nous Pelo Alto breeding ranch in Cali
fornia, believes that the winning trotter
must be bred from the runner In sroak-
ing of the principles on which he has
built up his great breeding stud, he save:
"When / began breeding blooded horses
! commenced studying the anatomy OF
the horse, until. at the end, could take
tho skeleton apart and put il together
with the accuracy OF O skiled matchmaker
who deals with the mechanism of a time
piece. In my studies OF the anatomy of
tho horse | soon discovered where his
greatest powers were the use he made OF
his muscles, and the secret why one horse
was capable OF greater speed than some
other horse. As | studied and pondered
and Experimental, az the years went bv L
became impressed with the fact that the
extreme speed came from from three
things, viz: breeding, physical conforma-
ton and will power, or what is more COM
monty called nerve force.
To begin with, it did not take me long
to appreciate the fact that plug blood does
not produce speed; hence, as soon as L
was able to pull myself together and fairly
get my bearings, | began to lay deep the
foundations OF my breeding stud on an
oriental basis, and 1 am every year elIml-

great horse that did not have dam that
also possessed really great qualities. Our
fathers, unfortunately Tor the breed of
American horses, argued differently. They
held that the sire was everything, the dam
scarcely anything of value except TO bear
and snckle the foal. Now, ! early recog-
nized the fallacy of the proposition, and

rank it does rs a breeding establishment

We have nostatistics giving the yield of
popcorn in the United States, but is
probably much larger than the majority of
people suppose The most of it is grown
in patches for local consumption, but
hundreds of car loads are handled by
dealers every wear. Illinois has furnished
q great deal OF this corn, one farmer, il is
said, growing fifty acres every year.
There is good deal of profit in this crop
when handled right, and some of our
readers may find il we'll 70 go into the
business in limited way. There are some
drawbacks, as with all other crops, and
they have tended to limit the production.
The corn must be kept one yenr in the
crib, az it is unmarketable until it is per.
fectly dry. Many have mads the mistake
of shipping new corn to dealers. and as
result received very little il anything for

The Great Floods,

New ORLEANS, June 13.-The
river this morning reached the
highest point known here for the
past forty-fve years. and in conse-
quence New Orleans is to-day,
literally speaking, an island. Gre
vase , above, crevasses below, the
raging river in front, and the rap
idly rising lake Pontchartrain in
the rear, has hemmed the city
in and traffic on three roads has
been suspended. Last night at
midnight the gauge road IS feet
above high water mark. People
who knew we'll what this rise
meant hoped that by morning
there would be a decline, but when
day break came and the gauge
was scanned old timers were stag
gered when they read IS 210. At
six O'Clock the first break was re-
ported. 1t happened at Belmont
place, about twenty miles above
the city, on the Mississippi Valley
road, Is feet of the leyee gave way
at one clip and the water within
an hours time had dug a channel
twelve feet deep. The Valley tracks
were quickly under two feet OF
water and all traffic was stopped.
Following closely the reports from
Belmont, came the news of three
breaks eleven miles below the city,
all within one mile of each other.
The first break occurred at Stoneys,
near where a occurred a
month ago, but now closed. 1t
started at a fifty foot rate, but
widened so rapidly that by moor it
was one hundred feet wide and ten
feet deep and still breaking. The
second break was at Villere plan
tation, a half mile away. Fifty feet
was it's width. Two Eours AFTER
wards the levee gave way. The
third break is at the Merrick place
a mile below Where, it is only
twenty feet wide and hopes are en-
tertained of closing it. The three
crevasses have tied mp the South.
ern railroad which runs from the
city to the gull. Hardly had the
engineers recovered from this dis.
astrous news when a telephone
message was recei Ved from Wag'
gaman thirteen miles up On the
other side of the river stating that
the entire levee at that point sey'
eral hundred yards in length had
toppled into the rushing waters
The Texas & Pacific trains are
:. Just behind the ~leyee, and the
:. swish of the water washed the
I tracks up for a considerable dis.
lance. The Texas & Pacific people
have shut down on traffic. The las

road, a few miles below Belmont
: 1t is twenty-five feet deep and fly

crevasses, following 80 closely OF
each other, has occasioned consid-
! cradle alarm through the city. Th

A BIT OF

Some speculative genius has
been calculating as to which thinks
the most of each other, Blaine or
Harrison
As a basis of the problem, he
has been fl suring on the recent
letters Of the two distinguished
gentlemen, trying honestly to fer
ret out some estimate from their
late laconic correspondence.
The letter of resignation ad-
dressed by Mr.. Blaine to President
Harrison contained eighty words,
including date, heading, address
and signature. Mr.. Harrison's re-
ply contained only sixty-seven
words, all told, making a difference
OF thirteen words between the two
communications.
But after all, even a chirograph-
ist could not tell the quantum OF
affection that then existed between
the President and his Premier.
There may be significance in the
curtness of the letters, but it does
not follow as a matter of course,
that Harrison hates Blaine more
than Blaine-or Tom Plat, for
parenthesis-hates Harrison.
1t is brief and pithy enough to
be reproduced in full:

A Note Of Warning.
TO THE PUBLIC.

TN A MATTER OF JUSTICE TO
IL ourselves and to the reputation of
Ia DIR LeslieE Keeley's Double Chic
ride of Gold Remedies for the cure of the
Liquor, Opium, Morphine and Tobacco
Diseases, and Neurasthenia, we warn tn
public that these remedies are used by n
institution or sanitarium in the Unite
States, except those established by on
company under the uniform name of THE
KELLEY INSTITUTED"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes
established in various parts of the United
States, where the Kelley Treatment is ad-
ministered, and the Kelley remedies sold.
We, however, caution all to examine we'll
and know that they are dealing with GEN.
UINE REPRESENTATIVES,, authorized by
us, before taking treatment or purchasing
remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the
name of "Bi-Chloride of Gold" or similar
titles. The newspapers do not discrimi-
nate sufficiently to know that they are i'm
~itators, and so put down all accidents oc-
curing at UGH establishn ents as being
brought about by the Kelley Treatment.
This is a matter of much concern to us,
and hence this warning.
Respectfully Yours,
