The Russian Peasant,

A writer who has spent many years
in Russia thus speaks of the Russian
peasant: Easily satisfied, self-indul-
gent, weak, he does not care to rise in
the world. So long as he can exist and
allow his wife and children to exist,
and SC. long as he can obtain for cash
or credit vodka enough to keep him
going, he is content. He has no idea
Of any higher civilization, or any sort
of home comfort. For the rest he loves
his little father the Gar; fears God
in superstitious sort of way, and the
Lieshui wood spirits) and other super
natural objects Of his national folklore
festivals with bibulous piety: attends
church at Easter; tolerates his wife,
and knows absolutely nething of the
affairs either of this world or of the
next. But education is making great
strides, and the younger generation is
growing up with advantages to which
Its forefathers were strangers. Light
ts stealing gradually over the land.
Would that It might chase away the
drink demon! With the vodka evil
reduced to moderat, dimensions. there
would be Q chance even for rural
Russia"

Nebraska beet sugs i.

The Nebraska Farmer reports that
the Grand Island Beet Sugar Factory
will make 1900. 900 pounds less sugar
for 1893 than q year ago. This is a
falling off Of about 10 per cent, and
is 0ccasioned by lack of beets to keep
the factory at work. We should
judged that this might be due to the
drought this season, but the Farmer
adds that the crop is not as large be-
cause farmers have lost their inter-
est in growing heets. This is prob.
ably near the truth. 5eet-sugar
making requires q large capital, and
those who invest their mon y in
working up the beet crop into sugar
expect to take all the profit. Amert-
can farmers either East or West can
not grow beets as cheaply as do farm
ers In Germany. Cur labor costs
more on the farm than doe, that of
the German beet grower. for whom
most Of the work in growing the beet
is done by women and ch,ldren. The
Nebraska Farmer adds that the Nor
folk factory will, make *twice the
amount Of sugar 1t did q year ago.
This fs new factory, and farmers in
the reighb0rhoOd have not teen dis
couraged by low prices for beeta
The two factories combined will
make little more than 5000, 900
pounds of sugar, not near enough for
consumption in Nebraska alone

stalks were not worth much. But
these Maryland 0gures call US down
rather smartly. 1t was found that
an acre OF corn stover (Which are
stalks grown for fodder alone) con-
tain more digestible matter than an
acre of timothy hay, and that 81 per
cent of the digestible matter of corn
is found in the stalk. The men who
have used silos have known for q
long time that somehow they got q
big lot OF money in butter from a
very few acres OF corn. They could
not see that the silo added anything
to the corn, although they knew that
it preserved the same in succulent
and easily digested state In Wis
consin at least an acre of good corn
stover will produce from twice to
three times as many tons as an acre
of tiu.othy.-Hoard's Dairyman.

An Exquisite calendar.

Hoods calendar, which is always
looked for with interest and pleasure,
has made Its appearance for the year
1884, and Is in many respects more
beautiful than ever. The head Is that
ola lovely girl just ''sweet sixteen, !"
Autographed in delicate and natural
colors. Besides being a thing of
beauty. the calendar is especially val.
liable for the general information pre-
sented.
The figures are plainly printed in
pleasing and harmonious colOrs and
tho effect as whole is mest satisfac-
tory. The calendars can be obtained
OF almost any druggist, or by sending
SIX ~ cents in stamps for one and
ten 40 cents for two to G. ]. Hood &
Co., Lowell, Mass. An edition of over
eight millions of these calendars was
printed in order to supply the immense
demand. This seems a simple state
ment, but its meaning is almost beyond
human conception. The card used for
upper portion of this number of calen-
dars would cover nearly fifty-two (52)
acres of ground, and the paper con-
sumed in making the pads, II cut in
one continuous strip of the same width
as the pads, would be over eighteen
thousand $4,000 miles in length.
These calendars are issued by the
proprietors of Hood g Sarsaparilla, the
well-known medicine which has gained
such renown by it's wonderful cures in
cases where the blood was poisoned or
impure. The history of this prepara-
tion Is entirely unique, the business
having grown from small retail trade
until. at the present time, the great

capacity for fifty thousand (5O, ,OOO) bot
ties day and is the largest building
in the world devoted to to the manu-.
facture of a medicine. The sales of
Hoods Sarsaparilla in all sections Of
the country are enormous. The pro-
prietOrs have never claimed that It
would cure every ailment, but they
show by thousands of testimonials that
Hoods Sarsaprilla purifies and vital
ICES the blood, builds up the system,
and cures those, diseases caused by i'm
pure blood and debility, such as scrof-
ula, salt rheum, catarrh, rheumatism,
etc. AS preventive of the grip.
Hoods Sarsaprilla has proved to be un-
equalled, and it restores the wasted
vital forces after siege of that dread
ed malady and fortities the system
against future attacks.
The fact that great care is exercised
in the preparation of this medicine and
that nothing has ever been claimed
for it except as Warranted by previous
cures, has much to do with the conf
deEce felt by the public in its curative
powers. The motto of the proprietors
Is, ut is not what we say, but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does, that tells the
story" and it is what Hoods Sarsa-
parilla has done. as shown by the pub
lished statements of persons whom it
has cured. that has placed it at the
head in the field of medicine in the
present day.

How snu6 IL Made.

Many people suppose that snuff Is
made by grinding up cigar stubs and
refuse tobacco, but this is great mis-
take. The manufacture Of snuff is a
process that extends over several
months The dried leaves are sprinkled
with water and left to ferment. prcc-
ess that sometimes takes ten or twelve
weeks. They are then ground to pow
der, wet with seawater and allowed to
undergo second fermentation. Some
flavoring matters are added to produce
particular brands, and, after a thor
ough stirring, the snuff is ready for
the cQnsumer's nose.

A Waste Of Fertility.

We took a long drive through the
country recently during a heavy rain
storm. 1t was not very pleasant
work, but it gave us a. chance to oh
serve some things One was that
upon the majority of farms which we
passed the dripping rain from the
barn roofs fell directly on the man.
ure. and from that the rich, black
water ran off in rivulets and gulltes
until it found an outlet by which it
could yet entirely away from the
farm. Probably the owners of the
farms had seen the same thing
hundred times and had made no eff
fort to correct it. lbut we had just as
soon leave our pccketbouk out for
every passer to help himself to a little
change as to see our substance wasted
away in that manner. The Short
sighte iness of some men in little
things is one OF the most prevalent
causes of non-success, and it occurs
as often on the farm as elsewhere.
Now that the busy season is over,
would it not be good idea to look
around and see where there are little
leaks which can be stopped?-Phila.
