A Choice of Evils.

There is something to make a man
thoughtful in su h an ESCAPE as the
surveyor had who was climbing up the
face Of a precipice, and suddenly found
himself confronted by an enraged
rattlesnake. A similar fearful choice
between two deaths, a sudden deliver
ance from the jaws of both, is related
below:
While working at his mine, near
Tres Aiamos, a short time ago, John
Lyons, Of Tombstone, Arizi ma, sud-
denly found himself in most unex-
pected and unpleasant situation. He
had put in blast, lighted the fuse,
and just reached the top OF the shaft,
when he beheld four mounted Apaches
rapidly approaching him with plain in
tent to slaughter him.
To run was to be overtaken. aud to
stay was TO be blown to pieces, and
neither alternative presented any at
traction. Mr.. Lyons hesiiated an in
slant, and then dropped behind heap
of rocks at the mouth OF the shaft.
At that moment the blast exploded,
and volley # stones and debris Jew
into the air with a laundering report.
bThe Indians, who had made sure of
their victim. were so amazed and ter
rified at the miraculous interference
that they wheeled aud gallope1 away,
screaming like fends, and Mr.. Lyons,
who had not been struck by a single
one of the rocks, which fell all around
him, made quick time to Tres Alamos.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

When tho late Dr. Holmes was at a
dinner party once in England, Mrs.
Siddons was being discussed. Some
one said that. the statesman Fox had
been smitten by the great actress.
Holmes said that from all he had
heard of her he could not understand
man falling In love with her. She
was too grand; It was like falling in
love with the pyramids. Perhaps the
worshipful company of clothmakers or
board Of alderman might have loved
her, but one man never. It was
Holmes who remarked, with affected
gravity:
Il really must not smoke so persist
emily, / must turn over q new leaf-a
tobacco leaf-and have a cigar only
after each'-here he paused. as II to
say meal" but he continued-"after
each cigar"
When the smile ran around the
table, he leaned back in his chair and
said:
"A foreigner is an alien; foreigner
who drinks too much is bacchana-
lian, and may not foreigner who
smokes too much be called tobacco
ualian!"
Once, when he had been heavily
ilionized and mobbed by deputation
Of rough men from the far West, and
some one asked him If he did not
enjoy it,
Enjoy it," he exclaimed; Il felt like
the small ele rbant at the Zoo, with a
cheap excursion parry on its back"

Tho Place of Torment

OF bilious people is chiefly In the region OF
the liver, but with the extreme discomfort
located there are associated sour stomach, vel
lowness Of the skin and eyeballs, morning
nausea. an unpleasant breath, furred tongue
sick headache, and irregularity of the bowels
For each and all of these unpleasantnes SEES
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a swift AND
agreeable remedy. 1t is greatly preferable to
any vegetable purgative or drastic mineral
cathartio. Such pseudo specifics usually dc
more harm than good. In malarial complaints
the liver is always involved. For such disor'
der. as well as for rheumatic and kidney
trouble, nervousness and eebility, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is a benign remedy. Physi.
clans strongly commend 1t Tor its promptitudt
and thoroughness. and professional approval
Is fully justified by pubic experience during
more than third of a century.

Cutting Corn Stalks.


The season for cutting corn stalks Is
at hand for the large class of farmers
who do not put them in silos. Almost
every farmer who feeds corn stalks to
cows has them cut 1t is not always
safe to feed horses the cut stalks, MS
their digestive apparatus Is different.
The hard, woody stalks, cut in small
pieces, may injure horses intestines
before the gastric juices have time to
soften them. The feed when eaten by
the cow goes more In a mass and is
brought up and rechewed In her cud.
For this reason cut corn stalks ought
not to be fed to horses unless first wet
with warm water to soften them, then
the hard portion Of them will be left
uneaten. A horse will not eat much
more Of the corn stalk after 1t is cut
than 1t will before. IL cheap, bulky
food is to be used to mix with the grain
for horses it had better be cut straw or
hay than cut corn stalk. But the corn
stalks for cows ought always to- be cut
before feeding. If they are wet with
hot water or steamed and mixed with
grain meal scarcely anything will be
rejected. A little clover hay per day
with this will make complete ration
FOR cows.-American Cultivator.

Rotation OF Crop. Tested.

To determine the exact effect of ro-
tation, a series of experiments have
been conducted by the Indiana station.
or the plots upon which grain crops are
grown continuously portion are de-
voted exclusively to wheat. while upon
others wheat Is grown In alienation
with corn and oats. In the plots de-
voted exclusively to grain growing the
average yield of wheat for seven years,
closing with 1893, was 1880 bushels
per acre, and In 1894 the yield was
1874 bushels per acre. On the plots
upon which grain and grasses are
grown in rotation the average yield for
the seven years was 21.61 bushels per
acre, and I'm 1894 It was 22.67 bushels
The difference in favor Of rotation for
the period of seven years averaged 5.72
bushels per acre, and In 1894 1t
amounted to 0.93 bushels per acre.
Thus II is shown that wheat produced

The Horses Foot.

The Rev. w. ii. II. Murray, who I'M
derstood horses as we'll as Adiron-
dacks, once laid down q rule in regard
to trimming a horses foot that every
horseman in the world should cut ont
and paste in his hat "Never," he says,
"allow the knife to touch the sole Of
your horses foot, nor the least bit of 1t
to be pared away, because nature needs
the full bulk Of it and has amply pro-
vided for its removal at the proper
time Secondly, never allow knife to
be put to the frog, because nature
never provides too much Of it to an
swer the purpose for which the Creator
designed it, and the larger it is the
more swiftly, easily and safely Will
your horse CO."

How to Make Money on the Farm.
DO not look beyond your reach for
wealth when 1t lies all about you. In
this wonderful age of Improvement you
must move In the line of march, or let
your next door neighbor dig the jewels
from the soil. Many of our young men
are not content with the beautiful old
homestead, the green fields, and much
that makes one so independent on the
farm, but In their anxiety for gain,
push out to large cities or some distant
land, when, in nine cases out OF ten,
they would have been happier and
weather. men had they put that same
life and energy on the farm.
The world demands men who VIII
work. The curse of our country to-day
is the multitude of idle ones, who de-
mand not only living, but even luxur-
les thrown in Nothing In this life can
be gained without hard work. BE care
full in choosing an occupation, start
right, the outcome will be fruitfulness.
If you are interested In your vocation
and are industrious, your work, even
though hard, will be pleasure.
Try to interest your boys In your
work. To do this, you must encourage
them in their small beginnings. Stake
out one acre of land for your boy for
his own use. BY this do not mean
the poorest land on your farm, but the
very best, and see, also, to commence
with, that it is well enriched. Start the
boys right, as the first years trial will
be apt to decide their future.
Put in something that Is in demand,
and thatalways commands good prices.
How many farmers have first-class
seed corn that will test 95 per cent.
when planting time arrives? A fine
grade of seed corn that your neighbors
know is all right in every respect will
prove very profitable investment for
you. When you have an article to sell,
give your customers something that is
value received, and your trade is cs-
tablished. The same hints may be ap-
piled to all varieties of grain. There Is
good income awaiting you ut your
very doors; seize your grand oppor-
tunity.

Ventilation in the stable does not
mean draught Of air coming in on the
animals. 1t is useless to make stable
warm with tight roof and walls, and
then have cold "air holes" misnamed
ventilators, to allow the warmth to es-
cape. The night is the time when cold
currents are felt. The stable should
be ventilated during the day by leav-
ing the doors and tho windows open.
which should be closed at night. At
tention must be given to the direction

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the'needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man.

Notes.

Grub up the sassafras growing IL the
fields and keep the young bushes down
until the fields are cleared of them.
At the recent fruit show at the Crys-
tai Palace the Queen took first prize for
100 varieties each of pears and apples.
Carrots, turnips and beets, If fed raw
to cattle, should always be sliced and
not cut up into irregular pieces. Cattle
are much more liable to be choked than
any other class of stock.
When a horse Is doing no work 1t
should receive less grain and given
more hay. There is no time Of the
year, however, when the horse should
not be given exercise In some manner.
A ranchman I'm the Big Horn Dasin.
Wyoming, raised 1900 onions on n
patch of ground 35x9O feet during the
past season. Eight of the onions, re-
lected for size, weighed twenty-five
pounds.
When blackberrying. many a large
fruited sort is met with, which, If trans
planted to the garden, would be as
good as any Of the cultivated sorts.
Some of the best known varieties were
introduced in this way.
Winter oats are extensively grown In
Virginia. They are sown about a
month before the usual time of sowing
wheat, or from Sept. to Sept. Is. The
claim is made that winter oats will
grow wherever crimson clover sue
ceeds.

The net price Of milk from the first to

stance on record of lowering prices of
milk and cream i'm October.

Spreading Manure in the Fall.


1t is a good plan to spread manure
upon the fields In the fall Experience
shows that manure applied in the fall
to the surface, either of plowed or grass
land, will become so thoroughly pull
verified and distributed through the
soil by the action of frost and rain as
to act more quickly and be in better
condition for plants to assimilate than
the same fertilizer would be applied in
the spring. The loss from drainage,
unless upon very steep surfaces, will
probably be less than from the wash
ing II left in open yards. The loss from
evaporation Is likely to be much less
than that from fermentation, If the
manure is allowed to accumulate In
cellars or sheds.
