NEEDLESS COUGHING.
Don't Irrltate the BrOnchials, but Let
Nature Relieve Them,

DON'T Irritate me BTOncnlaW, DuU Let
Nature Relieve Them.
In all bronchial affections the parox-
ysms of the cough should be placed, as
far as possible, under control of the
will
The old idea that disagreeable sensa-
tions in the throat indicate the pres
ence there of something which ought
to come up" has been entirely displaced
by the more rational ew that the con-
tinued and prolonged efforts to expel
that something" are often productive
of more mischief than would result
from its being allowed to remain.
There is attendant upon every dis
ease of the bronchial tubes a greater
or less amount of mucus, which exudes
from the membranous lining of the
tube. OF course there are the accom-
panying signs of inf1ammation-heat,
PAIN swelling and redness; but it is
the mucus emulation which is for the
most part responsible for the disagree
able sensations which we instinctively
attempt to alleviate by coughing.
Now it is certain that, in great ma
iority of instances, where the general
health of the patient is not attacked,
this emulation undergoes what is called
resolutions; that is, it is reabsorbed
through the fine network of blood yes
sells about the tubes into the blood,
where it is taken care of, and complete
recovery is effected.
On the other hand, let us suppose
that we do not wait for resolution to
take place, but that, on the theory
that every particle of the emulation
should be expelled, as being of a poi
sonous nature, we strain to exhaustion
every muscle of expiration and in fact,
the whole system What follows?
We may have accomplished our inn
mediate object, or the seat of the in
fammation may have been out of reach
In either event. If we could see the
point at which our efforts had been di-
rected, we should discover that they
had not been productive of the results
anticipated. Instead of the inflamma-
ton being in any way allayed we
should find that an effect had been
produced similar to that which follows
scratching an itching sore. The irri-
tation has for the moment been re-
lieved, but it is only question of time
when it will return with renewed en-
ergy.
The habit of endeavoring to expel
more of the emulation than will come
away with gentle and infrequent cough
ing is an exhausting and idle ONE

The HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder Has All the Honors
In Strength and Value 30 Per Cent
Above Its Nearest Competitors.


ROYAL Baking Powder Has All the Honors
In strength and Value 30 Per Gent.
Above It's Nearest Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined-wherever ex-
hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, at tho
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs,
where it has been exhibited, judges
have invariably awarded the Royal
Baking Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the exanli-
nations for the baking powder awards
were made by the experts of the chemi-
cal division of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, The Official report
of the tests of the baking powders,
which was made by this Department for
the specific purpose of ascertaining
which was the best, and which has
been made public, shows the leavening
strength Of the Royal to be 100 cubic
inches of carbonic gas per ounce ofpow-
der. OF the cream of tartar baking pow
ders exhibited, the next highest in
strength, thus tested, contained but
1873 cubic inches of leavening gas The
other powders gave an average OF Ill.
The Royal, therefore was found of2Oper
cent greater leavening strength than
its nearest competitor, and "A per cent.
above the average of all the other tests.
It's superiority in other respects, how
ever in the quality of the food it makes
as to fneness, delicacy and wholesome
ness, could not be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for so many years, that have caused
the sales of the Royal Baking Powder,
as shown by statistics, to exceed the
sale of all other baking powders COM

HERE AND THERE.

Many farmers work too hard.
They would be better off in the end if
they took time to do a good lot head
work
Every farmer should have an
abundance of milk and butter for his
family every day in the year, regard
less of cost. But when he undertakes
to sell these products, or either of
them, for profit, he must apply to their
production and sale strictly business
principles.
Within the last thirty-five years the
average weight of fleeces produced in
the United States has doubled. This is
due to the fact that the sheep have
been better cared for in every way
than formerly and more intelligently
managed, especially with reference to
breeding.
There is one thing that cattle will
not do for the pasture field, and that
is, destroy the weeds, Sheep wili do
it better, but if you want the weeds
wholly cleared out and prevented from
going to seed you had better NOW
them. The best way to do it is to drive
the machine about the field.
In merchandising, one liberal
buyer who never pays, consumes the
profits of large number of customers
who do pay, hence great many mer-
chants fail. In dairying, one COW fed
at loss can easily consume the profits
from several good cows, and many a
dairyman thus situated looks strangely
around as if he had lost something
and was trying to remember where he
had it last

A RARE METAL.
rhe Use of Copper Among the American
I'M

me use OF copper among inc American
Indians.
Careful investigation seems to show
that at the time of the discovery of
America copper was used by the North
American Indians only as a precious
metal and for ornamental purposes,
and had not reached the stage of in
dustrial use, as it had among the Aztecs
in Mexico. There is, moreover, no evil
dence to show that the northern In.
dians had any knowledge of ore work.
ing or smelling, and it is almost certain
that all the copper they possessed was
found in the metallic or native state.
There is nothing to show that they
were aware of the existence of copper
ore as a source of metal. No remains
of smelling places, or Stag, or other in
dications of metallurgical operations
have yet been found, The quantity Of
copper which the Indians possessed at
the time of the discovery, although the
metal was diffused over wide terri
tory, was very small as compared with
stone. This is shown by the relatively
small proportion of copper implements
in the principal collections, as at the
Smithsonian institution and others.
The larger numbers are, found in Wis
consin, and this is accounted for
by the fact that Wisconsin is directly
south of the Keweenaw district in
Michigan, where the largest beds Of
nat We copper occur. In these beds
the copper shows as such in the
rock, and the ancient miners had only
to follow down a promising outcrop
showing metal for few feet and ham
mer away the rock from the copper to
secure the latter. When they came
upon large mass they were compelled
to abandon it after hammering off pro-
jecting pieces, because they had no
tools for cutting it up and removing it.
Several instances of this sort have been
found. The ancient mines were not
really mines, not being underground
workings, but merely shallow pits or
trenches and sometimes excavations in
the face of a cliff. At the time modern
mining began they had become mere
depressions in the ground. All these
workings when examined contained
stone hammers or mapls, few wooden
shoyels, remains of wooden bowls for
baking, birch bark baskets and some
spear or lance heads and other articles

pounds There was the same charge for
transportation by boat, and for haul
ing and storage in the press. When
the Mississippi levee districts were or
ganized and began raising money for
building by means of tax on cotton,
1T was placed at so much per bale, and
1t sometimes ran very high-s2 TO 81
per bale The planter, therefore, who
put up his cotton in bales of 1000
pounds or more saved just half his tax.
Altogether IL was possible to save 81 or
50 u bale by adopting the heavy stand
ard, and that was no small item in
large crop,
This little trick, however, was soon
understood, and those who lost by it
took steps to protect themselves.
The railroad freight charge was by
the pound, so that there was no profit
inAputting up big bales that had to
be transported by rail. The levee dis
tricts levied their produce tax on cot
ton by the pound instead of the bale
as formerly, and the laborers in the
presses began demanding extra rates
for handling the heavier packages.
This cut out all the profit on the big
bales and the planters finding that
they secured little if any benefit from
them have ceased trying to put too
many pounds in bale. The result is
shown in the decreased weight this
year.
The change is matter for congratu-
lation. The big bale was a nuisance,
hated and detested by all. 1t was
| 'elumsy, and required more labor to
handle. The spinner also complained
that the cotton thus packed reached
him in a more or less Objectionable
and uncovered condition. Com
plants have poured in from En-
gland of the manner in which cotton
was packed and baled in this country,
and suggesting that we adopt the
methods in vogue in Egypt or India,
the cotton from which countries reached
Europe in better condition than ours.
The suggestion that we adopt stand
ard bale used in other countries of 800
or $50 pounds is not likely to be adopted
here, however, because most of our
presses and machinery are not adapted
to packing cotton as compactly as is
necessary in these small packages; but
the returns of the cotton exchange
would indicate that the big bale is
equally Objectionable, and that the
south had about concluded that the
weight best adapted to this country,
most easily and cheaply handled is
about 500 pounds, N. 0. Times-De

Saving Sweet Potatoes,

Just now the farmer is worrying
himself over the unsolved problem of
how to keep his sweet potatoes from
rotting. A valued correspondent sug-
gests maturity of the tuber as the
chief factor in their preservation. Now
if early planted potatoes keep better
than those planted late land conse-
quently having less time in which to
mat ure) the above theory would be to
some extent confirmed. But such is
not the case in our experience. In a
patch of about an acre all but six rows
were dug, and kept finely, while those
left in the patch rotted two weeks
later. Another season (but not the
Same ground) potatoes remained sound
without digging until spring. An
other year we banked potatoes in
hills, covered with cornstalks, hay and
earth, and well ditched around The
potatoes all rotted except those which
rolled off into the ditch and laid buried
in the mud for weeks, These re-
NAMED sound. AS far as our individual
experience goes, potatoes, if broken or
cut, and the exhuding sap dries white
and hard, will remain sound if kept
from freezing. On the contrary, if the
sap on the wounded surface turns
dark, the potatoes will rot under any
known treatment. We take the liber-
ty of suggesting to the director of the
Texas experiment station that this
sweet potato rot be made the subject
of exhaustive study and experimental
ton, embracing the etiology of the dis
ease as well as its prevention. The
immense losses to farmers every year
from this cause calls loudly for help
from those who are in the best position
to afford it.-Farm and Fireside.

An Offended Monarch.

Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, the Indian
prince who died recently in England,
always chose to consider himself a
deeply injured man at the hands Of
that country, though he had lived
there for many years and drew the
comfortable allowance of forty thou
sand pounds year from the govern
ment. He formally claimed the Koh-
i-noor from Queen Victoria, and wrote
famous letters denouncing the English
people. He lived at Elvedon Hall for
a time, upon which he spent enormous
sums of money, and made the estate
into a great game preserve, where he
would amuse himself by making the

THE COTTON BALE.
The Big and Bulky Versus the Small and
Compact Bale.


Compact Bale.
1t would seem that the cotton bale
has finally reached its maximum size,
and that it is likely, if anything, to
grow smaller. The average weight of
the bales received this year is material
ly less than those of the previous one.
Tie September bales in 1892, for in
stance, weighed SILL pounds, but this
September they weighed only 5l66S, a
decrease of 6.47 pounds. For the two
months of September and October the
average was 503.0S, as against $40 80,
or rs pounds less. 1t will be seen that
the bale continues to grow smaller as
the season progresses, the indications
being that for the whole year it will
fall below 500 bounds. The decrease is
marked everywhere in the south. In
Texas, famous for its big bales, their av-
erage weight has fallen off 1913 pounds;
IN Louisiana 40. The decrease is less
marked on the Atlantic coast, but even
there the disposition is shown to put
fewer pounds of cotton into bale
than formerly.
This tendency is all the m ore marked
because hitherto the disposition was
quite the other way-to increase the
size of the bale until it threatened to
reach $50 pounds, or even more. Start
ing at about 400 pounds, it had steadily
increased until monster bales were fire.

Sowing Clover.

When you come to the time of sowing
clover do not go by any arbitrary rule
as to the amount of seed. The amount
needed for an acre depends upon the
soil and the time of sowing. If all the
seeds grow, there is enough seed in
three quarts to make fine stand.
Probably less amount would be suffi-
Gent if this could be ensured, but it
must be remembered that even under
the best conditions all the seeds do not
terminate. Many plants fail to get
rooted, and of those which do start
great number are afterward
killed by heat and drought, frost
and insects. The later one sows the
more seed will be needed, as the soil is
not so favorable for termination as it
is earlier. Many farmers use only u
bushel to eight acres and they wonder
why they do not have full stand.
The reason is, that they had not
enough seed to satisfy all the losses,
and yet leave enough to produced the
stand. A bushel to four acres, is a
safer allowance, although that may be
little more than is often needed. Per-
haps bushel to five acres is as near as
we can get for the average land
