Tho chief muscles concerned in
walking are those in the calf and back
of the leg, which, by pulling up the
heel, also pull mp the bones of the
foot connected with it, and then the
whole body, the weight of which is
passed on through the bones of the leg.
When walking, the trunk is thrown
forward so that it would fall down
PROSTATE were not the right foot
planted in time to support it. The
calf muscles are helped in this action
by those on the front of the trunk and
legs, which contract and pull the
body forward, and, the trunk slant
ing forward when the heel is raised by
the calf muscles, the whole body will
be raised and pushed forward and up
ward. This advancement of each leg
is effected partly by muscular action,
the muscles used being (1) those on
the front of the thigh, bending It for
ward on the pelvis; ~ the hamstring
muscles, which slightly bend the leg
on the thigh; (3) the muscles on the
front of the leg, which raise the front
of the foot and toes, preventing the
latter, in swinging forward, from
hitching in the ground. When one
foot has reached the ground the nc
tion of the other bns not ceased
There is another point in walking.
The body is constantly supported and
balanced on each leg alternately, and
therefore, on only one at once. Hence
there must be some means for throw
ing the centre of gravity over the lin
of support formed by the bones o
each leg, as it supports the weight o
the body. This is done in various
ways. and hence the difference in Tho
walk of different people. New Yorl

KEEP THE LIVE STOCK IN GOOD CONDITION.

KEEP THE LIVE STOCK IN GOOD CONDITION.
Animals should not be allowed to
fall back in flesh or production. II
costs considerably more to replace q
pound of flesh or certain amount OF
strength, than to retain it. While
the animal is losing the pound of flesh
and also while it is regaining it, the
food of support and all the care and
sheltering given the animal are lost ;
for when the animal has regained flesh
or strength it is just as valuable, and
no more, than before. Also, the food
of support is very nearly as great
when the animals production of milk,
tor example, is reduced one-half.
While the total food consumed is re-
duced only one-fourth, what is re-
ceived in payment for that food is re-
duced one-half; and the cost of caring
for and sheltering the animal is the
same. 1t is plain that this reduction
may wipe out all the profit and more.
A little carelessness and inattention
in autumn may sacrifice all the gain
from the summers feeding and care.

WHEAT AS A FEEDING GRAIN.

The reason why wheat has not here
tofore been the leading feeding grain
has been its high market value and the
cheapness of corn and oats. But now
that it is the cheapest of all grains, in
quiries are making into its value both
as to its price and the nutriment and
digestibility. 1t is true that all these
three points are to be taken into ac-
count in estimating the feeding value
of any food. Good feeding must neces-
sarily be that which is conductive to
health, for there can be no thrift
otherwise. Hitherto no experiments
have been made in feeding wheat ex-
cept to small extent with damaged
grain. Lately, however, attention has
been turned to this matter, and as
might be expected from our scientific
knowledge of wheat, it has been
shown, without exception, that it is
now the cheapest grain food on the
whole list.
In feeding poultry, it is especially
profitable, and the experience of care
full and intelligent persons goes to
show that barrel of wheat, worth
about $3.50, will make barrel of
eggs, worth, at fifteen cents dozen,
not less than 50. This ought to be
very satisfactory, seeing that corn is
not healthful food when given to
fowls altogether and without o large
addition of other foods. The result
of feeding wheat to pigs has been pre-
cisely similar, and with respect to both
profit and health. There have been
many instances that have proved this
grain to be excellent for cows, for the
bran and middlings have always been
one of the most favored grain foods in
the dairy. 1t has been found excel
lent for sheep, and, as highly nitro
genous food is reasonably proper for
wool bearers. considering the large
quantity OF nitrogen in the fleece, this
result should reasonably follow. For
horses its equal value may be consid-
cred as doubtful, except as an addi-
tion to cut fodder when the grain is
coarsely chopped. But as barley diff
fers but little from wheat, practically,
as food grain, and rs barley is well
known to be one of the best foods for
this animal, it may be taken as almost
certain that, when fed judiciously,
wheat will be at least better than corn.
The writer of this note has been feed
ing rye to his horses and mules since
harvest, and with every possible sat
isfaction to himself as we'll as to the
animals. Thus, if the present low
price of wheat continues, tho surplus

This may seem like bold assertion to

Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases OF that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-

The Rurhen Bcnrcr.

There IL big insulated wire in telegraphy
which transmits the bulk OF daily in
telligence; there is n big insulated nerve In
the human system which can bear the bur
den OF more pain than all the rest of the
nerves combined, and is known as the sciatic
nerve. Sometimes the wire Is cut to cut OF
lis current sometimes the surgeons knife
is used to cut the nerve to relieve excruciat-
ing pain. But there is one thing which avoids
this radical treatment one cure which
penetrates to the pain-spot, and sciatica
has been cured almost without fail by the
use OF ST. Jacobs Oil. 1t reaches misery's
seat and dethrones it. Thus attacked and
routed in its hidden ambuscade, pain seldom
returns to annoy. The great remedy does
its work well.

Ten members Of the lower board of the
common council voted last night, against
minority of five. to advise the legislature of
Virginia to SO change the charter of the
city as to save expenses by abolishing two
or three small offices with light salaries
and at the same time authorize the council
to largely increase the taxes with the view
of street and sewer improvements. The Of
fees which it was proposed to abolish are
the superintendent of police, as the Alex
and-ia street commissioner is called; the
superintendent of gas. and one of the two
city tax collectors
Additional sections of the charter, not
before proposed. authorize the city council
to tax lots 10 cents per front foot annually
as special Improvement tax. in addition to
the tax of 81 per hundred upon the value
of the lots. Proposals were ais" made ask
ing the authority from the legislature to
increase the city debt s2OO.OOO. and to issue
8 per cent bonds for the same. The matter
was postponed by the upper board until
next Monday night. when both boards will
hold an adjourned meeting.

REAL NEW JERSEY APPLEJACk.
Not Much of IL In the Market. but
AdulteratiOns Plentiful.

One doesn't hear SO much as formerly
about Jersey lightning" This. says the
Pfttsburg Dspatch isn't because applejack
Is not made any more. Quite the contrary
The local name has departed because the
juice of the apple, which, distilled by the
farmers in the northern part of the state
produced the lightning effect. is now known
throughout the country. Jersey applejack
or apple WHISKY or brandy as it is called In
some of the fashiona Bile city hotels and bar
rooms. is now among the brands on hand in
every well-regulated cafe.
1t is curious how applejack got its popu-
larity. Originally 1t was strictly local in
its manufacture and use. The farmers Of
Sussex and Warren counties We're the sole
producers and the sole consumers. They
knew the mellow effect of the distilla tion
They knew how, with lump two of SUI
gar and touch of water. to make II pala-
table. The instant effects upon the brain
and then upon the tongue Were discovered
half century ago. The periIeating effects
and the meiiowing tendencies increased
with age. Consequently every hcspitable
farmer in these parts kept his demijohn Of
ten or fifteen -year-old apple as the case
might be. Farmers sons emgrated to
Newark and other parts of the state. Others
started in business in New England or out
west They all sent home for applejack
and sounded it's praise. Friends sampled
the golden hued liquor and relished it.
Gradually the stimulant that humorsts
styled Jersey lightning ceased its local fea-
lures and became more universal Today
YOU can get Jersey applejack, or something
labeled that way, in the prominent cafes in
any of the larger cities. Plenty OF so-called
applejack is for sale. But much of it is
made up of all sorts of ingredients. 1t is
fiery enough to upset the brain and will
intoxicate all too rapidly, but the delicate
flavor of the real article is missing, and
the man familiar with the taste will not
take a second drink.
