WHAT EVERY MAN IS WORTH.
The Chemical Compounds Of an Average
Voter Arc Valued at 0lS,3OO.

Voter Arc Valued At SIS, 800.
An interesting exhibit at the ma
tional museum shows the physical in
gradients which go to make up the
average man, weighing 1874 pounds,
says the American Analyst. A large
glass jar holds the 90 pounds of water
which his body contains. In other
receptacles are pounds of white of
egg, little less than 10 pounds of pure
glue-without which it would be i'm
possible to keep body and soul to-
gether-4sX pounds of fat, 81 pounds
of phosphate of lime, pound of car
Donate of lime, ounces of sugar and
starch, I ounces of fluoride of calcium,
6 ounces of phosphate of magnesia and
a little ordinary table salt. Divided
up into his primary chemical elements
the same man is found to contain 81
pounds of oxygen-enough to take up,
under ordinary atmospheric pressure,
the space of a room 10 feet long, 10
feet wide and 10 feet high. His
body also holds Is pounds of hydrogen,
which, under the same conditions,
would occupy somewhat more than
two such rooms as that described. To
these must be added pounds and IS
ounces of nitrogen. The carbon
in the corpus of the individual referred
to is represented by . foot cube of
coal. 1t ought to be diamond of the
same size, because the stone is pure
carbon, but the National museum has
not such a one in its possession. A
row of bottles contain the other ele-
ments going to make up the man.
These are 4 ounces of chlorine, 81
ounces of fuorine, ounces of phos.
phorus, 81 ounces of birthstone, ~
ounces of sodium, 21l ounces of potas-
SUM, lilo of an ounce of iron, ounces
of magnesium and 3 pounds and ID
ounces of calcium. Calcium, at pres
ent market rates, is worth $500 an
ounce, SO that the amount of it con-
tanned in one ordinary human body
has money value of sls,3OO. Few of
our fellow citizens realize that they are
worth SO much intrinsically.

Six settlers from the northern town

Six settlers from the northern town
ships of Lincoln county were in Spo-
kane county to file claims on their
lands. They state that a number of
farmers are preparing to make entries
under desert land law, which gives
them 800 acres, and a regular boom
for irrigation is expected in that sec
ton in the next twelve month. So
nearly as can be learned the
State land commission is letting its
rights in these four townships 60 by
default. The commissions preferred
right to located land in that locality
will expire Nov. 5. Land Cruiser
Williams OF Spokane has as yet re-
ceived no orders to make selections,

other cruiser has been sent to that

quainted with the record of this COM
mission are not in the least surprised
at its neglect.

Don't Flavor Butter Too Much,

1t is too true that unless we adopt
the improvements of the day and look
carefully after our interests, we shall
be left in the background as to quality
and profit. But why is 1t that western
creamery butter brings a better price?
We are told that 1t is because of it's
uniformity of quality. The butter is
made from day to day, from week to
week under the same conditions, and
always free from anything that would
lmpart unpleasant. fiavors. Milk set in
II farmers kitchen or in any place
where 1t will absorb unpleasant odors
from cooking vegetables, from tobacco
smoke or from clothing fully charged
with the odor of the stables, cannot
make butter free from unpleasant fla
vor. We complain of low prices re-
ceived when we ourselves are TO
blame The flavor Of the butter is af-
fected by the feed OF the cows. We
lay the blame at the door of the dairy
woman, when he who feeds the cows
is responsible.

Bitter MIX,

Bitter ilk is a matter OF frequent oc-
currence every fall and winter, or soon
after the cows are off from grazing
1t is caused, first, by bitter herbs in
the hay-such as May weed, rag weed,
Johns wort, etc.-and also by the use
of too much over-ripe food, such as
straw. corn stoYer. or late-cut hay.
1t never occurs when cows are fed on
good feed, and are thriving, or even
holding their own. and are kept COM
fortably warm. 1t can be avoided,
first, by correcting the error in feed
ing and exposure; and, secondly, by
scalding the milk when 1t is first
drawn, by setting it in pans over a
kettle of boiling water till the skin
which forms on its top is well wrin-
kled, and then setting IL away TO cool
for the cream TO rise. This treatment
will drive out the cause of the bitter
flavor and improve the butter and
make it easy to churn.

Stumbling Horses.

The Pittsburg "Stockman" says:
"Some good horses are addicted to
stumbling while walking or moving
in SLOW trot. A well-versed veteri-
uarian states that there are two causes
that would tend To produce this faulty
action: One a general weakness in
the muscular system, such as would
be noticed in tired horse; the other
weakness of the exterior muscles of
the leg, brought about by carrying too
much weight ON the toe. To effect a
cure, he adds, tighten the weight of
each front shoe about four ounces;
have the toe of the shoe made of steel
instead Of iron, 1t will wear longer,
have 1t rounded off about the same as
Ii would be when one-third worn out
in order to prevent tripping, allow one
weeks rest; have the legs showered
for a few minutes at q time with cold
water through hose, in order to Gre
ate spray; then rub dry briskly, from
the chest down to the foot. Give
walking exercise day this week. for
about an hour, twice day. When
YOU commence driving again omit the
slow together walk or send him
along at a sharp trot for a mile or two,
then walk away, but do not speed for
at least several weeks. By this means
the habit of stumbling from either of
the above causes will be pretty well
overcome"

HE STOCK YARD.


An old stOckman says that sheep

them short stays at first while th'
fodder is dry.
The use Of kerosene on animals. tn
Cftlrr t. destroy lice, Is n severe
method. as 1t is irritating to the skin.
The proper mode is to mix one part
kerosene with four parts OF linseed or
any cheap oil.
1t is well to get into the habit Of
valueing all kinds of COW feed by the
pound or ton, not by the bushcl. Then
we can the more readily make COM
pal.isons when considering what kind
of feed to buy or sell.
Endeavoring to keep too many ami
mails where they cannot be made COM
Portable for room is one of the leaks
on the farm. 1t is more profitable to
adapt the stock to the farm than to
attempt to adapt the farm to the
stock.

Is reduced the cost Is reduced also.
The breed that will grow rapidly and

and the profits viii be corresponding

Everyone who deals with the bull in
any way should be constantly on his
guard. The bull cannot be depended
upon. He Is treacllcrous as well as
dangerous, and Is even more likely 10
attack his best friend than he is TO
assail his worst enemy.-American
Farmer.
While IL must be admitted that in
stock raising a great deal depends
upon the feed and the care, at the
same time Ii is 4 fact that some stock
10 not respond to the best of care
sufficiently to be profitable. Have a
good class OF stock In the first place
and then give them first-class treat

Skim milk as food for young stock
differs from whole milk only In its
proportion of fat. The nitrogen and
mineral matter remains Milk is
skinned In order to remove the fat
(cream), and when fed to pigs or
calves 1t should have some substance
added to II which restores the fat. and
for this purpose linseed meal has been
used satisfactorily, and when the skim
milk is fed it should be lukewarm. or
about the temperature of milk when
1t has just been drawn from the udder.

Paper can be mn 70 out OF almost
anything that can be pounded to pulp.
over fifty kinds Of bark are employed.
while old sacking or bagging makes
good article. Paper is made out OF
banana skins, from bean stalks, pea
vines, cOcoanut fibre. clover and timo-
thy hay. straw, fresh-water weeds. sea
weeds and more than 100 different
kinds Of grass. Paper has been made
from hair fur and wool, from asbestos,
which furnishes an article indestructi-
ble by fire; from hop plants, from
husks OF any and every kind OF grain.
Leaves make good strong paper,
while the husks and stems of Indian
corn have also been tried, and almost
every kind OF moss can be made into
paper. There are p" tents for making
paper from sawdust and shavings,
from thistles and thistledown. from to-
bacco stalks and tanbnrk. II Is said
that there are over two thousand pat
ents in this country covering the manu-
facture OF paper. No matter what the
substance, the process is substantially
the same: the material is ground to q
pulp, then spread thinly over a frame
and allowed to dry, the subsequent
treatment depending on the kind of
paper to be made.-St. Louis Exchange

Old-School Etiquette.

The Rule of Civility," published in
1857, Is not without interest, as the
following quotations show:
1t is unhandsome among ladies, or

to clean ones nails. to tie ones garter,
to change ones shoes If they pinch, TO
call for ones slippers 10 be at ease.
to sing between the teeth or TO drum
with ones fingers. 1t is too Juvenile
and light when in the company of
ladies to play with them, toss or tum-
BILE them, TO force away their hoods,
fans or cuffs
"In eating" the writer cautions his
readers, observe that your hands be
clean. Dip not yoIr fingers in the
foods nor lick them when you have
done eating. If you have occasion to
sneeze or cough, hold your napkin be
fore your face. Drink not with your
mouth full nor unwiped, nor until you
are forced 10 breathe in the glass"

we are informed that summer time is
the best season for the sale of arti-
