HeIght of Cruelty.

Nervous women seldom receive the
sympathy they deserve. While often
the pictures of health, they are con
stantly ailing, To withhold sympathy
from these unfortunates is the height
of cruelty. They have weak heart,
causing shortness of breath, futtering,
pain in side eak and hungry spells,
and finally swelling of ankles, oppres-
sion, choking, smothering and dropsy.

the thing for them. For their nerv'

Correspondence OF The News.
Ross, Tex, April 4.-Lsst Saturday
night large number of citizens Of
this community met at the hall in this
place for the purpose OF organizing a
Democratic club, and your reporter
knowing how large, if not the larger
part of the vote at this place has been
cast for the last six years, concluded
to go and if possible to hear some
thing.
A motion to organize a Dem ocratic
club was voted and the motion 10

An effort was made to form some
kind of an appeal to the Democracy of
Texas to show that they do not ap-
prove of either sacrificing the princi-

After a close canvass among the

Some one asked: GLOW many
members of the Hogg Club according

there was no answer given and it was
whispered that there were but few!

wrongly informed we would echo
'but few" for more than two thirds
of the members of the Ross Hogg

We made some enquiry about the
followers Of Clark and found that they
are men who stand out boldly fol

A Harness Preservative.


From Orange Judd Farmer
Nothing has proved to be so great Il
preservatiye ~ pure castor oil, at the same
time keeping the leather silky and supple.
This is because the oil does not soak into
the leather nor permit water to do so, and
TINS conseFves its natural condition
the life" of the leather. As preserya-
tive next in value comes castor aud heats
foot oils. half and half, mixed The Oh
lection to pure neatsfoot oil, lard oils, aud
others of ike oleagenous character is that
they are too penetrating. They permeate
the leather, destroy it, natural condition,
and so rot and weaken it that it permits
entrance of sweat and rain, which soon
crack it and complete the destruction.
Such oils may be necessary to soften old
and hard harness that has been used fool
iShly without any OIL For such harness
there cannot be long future under any
condition and frequently softening delays
cracking and the destruction that ensues.
But to begin the treatment of new bar-
Bess with castor oil is by far the wisest
course, 1T must be rubbed on the leather
sparingly, not nfFepsiyely thick, and may
be colored with lampblaek When the
harness is cleaned with soap and hot water
the entire application washes of. No oil
yarnish or other preparations which will
not DO this should ever be used

Petroleum. on the Farm.

Now that many of the farm implements
are out of use, such as are not painted may
be greatly benefited and their usefulness
prolonged by the use of petroleum This
should be laid on with brush as you
would paint, but DO not make the mistake
of considering it as paint by mixing
colors or anything else with it. Its opera
ton is to penetrate the wood instead Of
remaining on the surface, and when enough
IS applied to saturate piece Of wood it
makes it almost imperishable from the action
of the elements. Shingles dipped in it or
painted with it would bago their lifetime
greatly heightened, and for barns and out
buildings such use of it would be unobjec-
tiOnable, while on the roof of dwelling in
any danger from sparks of fire it might
be considered as perhaps increasing the
risk As Il thoroughly cheap wood pre-
servative. no better one is known. and on
account of its small cost it can be applied
in so many cases where expensive paints
would not be thought of that it can often
be adyantageopsly substituted for them.
Implanted posts and gates and rough farm
implements of any kind arc good subjects
for its use.

To Make Hens Lay.
Frnm ohio Farmer.


Put two or more quarts OF water IN
kettle, and one large seed-pepper or two
small ones, then put the kettle over the
fire. When the water boils stir in coarse
Indian meal until you have thick mush.
Let it cook an hour or so; feed hot. Horse
radish chopped fine and stirred into mush
as prepared in the above directions, and
for results we are getting from five to ten
eggs per day; whereas, previous to feeding
we had not had eggs for long time. We
hear good deal of complaint from other
people about not getting eggs. To such
we would warmly recommend cooked feed
fed hot. Boiled apple skins, seasoned with
red pepper, or boiled potatoes, seasoned
with horseradish, are good for feed; much
better than uncooked food. Corn, when
fed to hens by itself, has tendency to fat
ten rather than produce the more profitable
egg-laying. \ spoonful of sulphur stirred
with their feed occasionally will rid them
of vermin and tone up their systems. 1t
is especially good for young chickens or
turkeys.

Top Dressing Wheat With Straw

T. B. Terry relates the following expo
rience on the above named subject in the
Country Gentleman
wrote you last year about my success
with the using of straw on an exposed hill
side to prevent winter killing. Last fall
we put straw ON two or three acres that
had Il northwestern exposure. This was
done in December when the ground was
frozen. 1t is hard to tell how thick we
put it. As nearly as | can write it, we
put on our Strawberries just enough so
one could not see through, and on the
wheat just enough so he could barely see
through. There was one spot where my
sou got on il load or two, as | thought, al
most too thick-about right for strawber-
ries but the wheat worked through it
all right, feared for the clover seed sown
on there; but to my surprise it started
quicker and came up ranker than on the
thinner places. Only once before since l
have been here have had as good wheat
on that exposed hillside. In 1888 and
1885 it was . failure and hurt my aver
age This yeaY it was good enough, and
the clover is now fine.
One of your readers, who lives in
Wayne county, this State, led by my arti-
Gle last year, put straw all over his wheat
field right after drilling. He says the
wheat came up through it nicely and did as
well as he could ask 1t seems as though
this would cause too much driving over
and tramping the ground when it was
soft bat again, the wheat growing up
through. would hold the straw from blow
ing in punches

Wide Tires for Heavy Teams.

4 practical wagun-builder. writes as fol
tvs to the Breeders Gazette There
san be no doubt that the general adoption
of such tires would work less harm to poor
roads than would narrow tires. Broad
tires for wagons of any width that would
be practical. would not, in my opinion,
make good roads out of poor roads. They
would simply have less tendency to cut up
poor roads than would the narrow tire.
The harm to wagon roads commonly oc-
euIs when the surface is saturated with
rain and the rOadbed is soft and yielding.
At such times loaded vehicles fitted with

When. however, the roadbed is solid and

How to Get Rid of sorrel.

Sorrel is one of the worst of weeds, when
it is not rightly managed To get rid of it
some advise to manure the land to apply
lime to kill the acid in the soil; to drain
the land; and so forth, but very few seem
to have any certain panacea for this per
sistent weed. But having vanquished
Canada thistles, | was not afraid of sorrel
and applied the same treatment to it as was
effective with the thistle. Manure only
makes it grow more luxuriantly; it loves
manure; acid in the soil is not the cause of
it, and as for lime, | have often seen it
growing about lime-kilns and at the very
foot of heaps of waste lime with the great
est freedom. 1t grows most on the driest
land so that draining is no cure for it.
But to turn it under deeply, put the land
in corn and use cultivator and hoe to kill
the young plants, and then sow the land at
the last working of the corn with rye and
pea-vine clover, and the sorrel will be got
rid of for four or five years when 1t will
begin to appear again Then a repetition of
the treatment will finish it. Sorrel spreads
from the roots worst than any other weed;
hence. the land should be turned under at
least seven or eight inches. 1t is then
smoothercd and the roots iie and only the
seed is left \ field which is in clover
was covered with many patches of sorrel
this spring. moved the clovor early in
June when the sorrel began to get red with
blossom. The stuff was gathered and burn
ed. In July, the second growth of clover
was beautiful sight, level carpet of bril-
liant blossoms with the clover standing over
two feet high, and the mower was put to
work. leaving surface upon which not a
sorrel plant can be seen. But 1T is not
dead but sIeepth only, and will probably
appear in the spring, when shall turn the
clover under eight inches deep and plant
corn and seed down again in the fall. |
