I;kr,X to Ne Cruel Sunrt.

Colonel Cody could put himself at
very much better enterprise than that of
encouraging the cowboy race which is to
take place 10 the Worlds fair. Ii is not
iii the least likely that a race run by COW
boys OF several nationalities. all OF them
the widest men of their type, will be
signaliled bY any great amount of hui
manity Indeed the chances are that
the horses wli simply be run beyond
their strength Snch race is III great
contrast to race between trained horses,
whose speed is Il matter Of fine calcutta
ion. and 10 whom the whip is seldom
touched Tho race Of the cowboys it is
very much more than likely will contain
every possible feature OF brutality.
1t may be characteristic of Il portion
of the West, but the people AT the fair do
not want to see everything that is char
aclerislic Of this country. but only that
which is best as well rs that which is
characteristic. 1t is to be hoped that Of
icers of the humane society will be on
the ground, and that they will see that
there is no slaughter of horses. We
want to leave that sort of thing to Ger
many Which does it we'll. = Omaha

Boilinc water During tho Summer.

,s A medical friend Of the Listener
writes him to do something to arouse
public sentiment betimes to the duty of
i fltering and boiling drinking water this
summer. He thinks that, in view of the
possibility Of cholera, people should ac-
quire the water boiling habit as soon as
possible. No doubt this is quite true.
IAnd, cholera or no cholera, there are no
lend Of germs in the ordinary water of
! Boston and the towns about. It is real
~ extraordinary how our people have
kept up 80 long the practice of drinking
water without fltering or boiling it,
and still more extraordinary, no doubt,
D sthkt we should cool our water by put
|sfing ice into it, when it can be cooled
lsjust as effectively by putting large
bottle Of it corked into refrigerator or
otherwise into contact with ice.
ssgs a good way out of the difficulty, if
zone thinks he does not like boiled water !
is to drink no water at all. There are
Eplenty of other things to drink. From
accounts, cholera can be taken only

Oh bay land can be placed at SO bushels

Fertilizers for Corn,

Experience has shown that nitro gen
Gus fertilizers are less n3ces 5ary to corn
that to wheat and other cereals, from
which it has been supp )sed that the
corn roots may have the property, to
some extent, of absorbing nitrogen from
the air in a similar manner as legu
minous plants. Nitrogen, therefore,
may be used more sparingly for corn,
while the mineral potash
and phosphoric land lme)-are always
necessary and should be supplied to the
full extent, according to the requirments
OF the soil.
The average on utilities per acre are
200 to $50 lbs. of KANT Tor SO to lis lbs.
of muriate of potash), and 400 to 600 lbs.
of II per. cent acid phosphate. Nitrogen
may be given in the form of cotton seed
meal-15O to ECO lbs. per acre being an
average quantity.
