Use of Tobacco In Illness.

If tobacco has been violently de-
nounced it has had ardent defenders.
The most recent of them, however, DIR.
Ludwig Jankau, of Munich, drops the
apologize tone and stoutly maintains
that tobacco is not merely permissible,
but is actually indicated in the case Of
the sick and convalescent under Ger.

tions, for misunderstood those on the
abdomen or Understanding is bene-
fetal if the patient feels the desire for
it. In diseases of the eyes and mouth
tobacco should be forbidden, but in
such cases the patient is not likely to
wish to smoke. In peritonitis. typh-
litis and perityphlitis smoking is also
likely to be harmful. In organic dis
eases of the heart mild tobacco may be
allowed in moderation to patients who
have been smokers from early life. In
the early stages of phthisis smoking is
often useful. owing to its undoubted
bactericidal power. DIR. Janlsau thinks
it retards the development of the dis
ease. He thinks the disinfectant prop
critics of tobacco also make it of serv-
ice in affections of the mouth, but the
quality, of course, should be of the

cile, but afterwards to hundreds and
even a thousand miles. Thus taught,
they become expert in returning to
their owners, and do this from all parts
OF the country.
AS to their rapidity of fight there is
much dispute. The more conservative
say that the usual speed is about &c
miles per hour. Some. however, be-
lieve it possible for these birds to fly
from 80 to 80 miles per hour in rare In.
stances. It takes about II hours for
a carrier pigeon to digest a crop full OF
grain. Passenger pigeons have been
shot in New York with their crops full
of rice. which they could not have OBJ
tanned nearer than the Carolina rice
fields. They must have travelled 800 or
400 miles in six hours, or over SO miles
per hour.
In England pigeons have been re.
peatedly used in wagers, bets being
made on the full speed of the birds. In
such cases greater speed than sc
miles per hour has rarely been made.
In 1888 great trial of pigeons was
made at Client. On June "a, of that
year, "a birds that had been entered
for the prize were thrown up at Rouen,
about $50 miles from Client. The first
pigeon arrived in Client in one and
one-half hours; 16 came in within two
and one-half hours, and three in the
course of the day; four were lost. The
first pigeon must have travelled at
rate of nearly 100 miles an hour, which
seems incredible. Yet it is possible,
seeing that 16 others also obtained
speed of over 60 miles per hour.
It is hard to believe that carrier
pigeons are not governed by instinct,
yet men that handle them say that it is
merely matter of education. If the
bird cannot recognize some landmark
he gets lost. Also birds thrown up dur
ing fog or haze seldom reach their
destination. There are, however, some
rare instances extant that seem to
prove that birds can succeed irrespec,
tive of the educational principle

By all means fill up the two feet OF

forming good foundation for the

that in the long run board floor will
be the best. Fill in the space with
stone and sand, or dry, sandy earth up
to near the level of the top of the gut

oughly wet and pounded SO that it will

Rendered Valuable by It's Remarkable
Love for Home.
The illustration given below is re-
produced from the French of AID. Ben
ion. 1t shows q carrier pigeon en- route
with message. The letter in this
case appears to be fastened to its legs.
The carrier pigeon is bird larger
generally than the common pigeon.
measuring about fifteen inches in
length and weighing about one and
one-fourth pounds The neck is long
and the pectoral muscle very large.
An appendage of naked skin hangs
across it's bill and continues down on
either side of the lower mandible.
The great development of this muscle
is what gives the bird the power OF
long continued fight.
The quality that renders these birds
so valuable Us messengers is their love
for home, which seems abnormally
developed. The art of training them
is carried to perfection in Turkey.
where the procedure is about as fol-
lows: A number of very young birds
are taken to a distance of one-half mile
from their home and freed. The most
intelligent will quickly find their way
to their homes. Those that get lost
are regarded as stupid and are re-
iected. The ones that return home are
then taken to greater distances, first
only two or three miles from the domi.

These fronts are cleverly made to fit
close to the figure under the arms along

practically fixed Increase the one

end. and would hold them down. If
the floor projects two inches over the
gutter, and the bottom of the gutter
pitches little toward the cattle, the
urine will find it's place in the lower
level, and the cows tails will not be-
come soiled.
If cement floor is made, the foun-
dalton should be treated as above and
about one inch of Akron cement
mortar spread over the surface and
pounded in. The surface should be
left little rough and a half to three
quarters of an inch lower than the top
of the gutter. AS soon as the mortar
is slightly set put on the last coat
with Portland cement and trowel
down fairly smooth. In building in
this way, it will be found difficult to
keep the urine from finding its way
back of and eventually under the
gutter. All cement floors tend to
make the air cold and damp unless
covered with bedding and they are
more uncomfortab BILE for cattle to stand
on than are wooden floors. All this
leads one to believe that, ali things
considered, the wooden floor will be
found the most satisfactory.-Country

While the subject of good roads is
being agitated in every part of the
country those most interested in the
subject are doing their best to make
bad roads still worse by using narrow
tires on their wagons Heavy loads are
drawn over our mud roads on these
narrow-tired wagons and deep ruts cut
into them, that in wet weather make
them almost, and sometimes entirely,
impossible. have a sort of a pity for
a man who urges his team along a
muddy road, all the time grumbling
about the badness of it, when he might
reduce the labor of his team from one
third to one-half by using wide tires at
very little additional cost to himself
and to the great saving of team and
temper. It is to be hoped that the
first legislation looking to the improve
ment of the roads of the country will
be in the way of encouraging the use
of wide tires, for one narrow-tired
wagon will do more damage than a
dozen with wide tires if the roads are
at all soft. No one disputes the philos
ophy of wide tires, and no one seems to
have any good reason to offer why
they should not be used Our farmers
simply follow precedent and go on us
ing narrow tires because their fathers
did before them. Lumbermen and
freighters use wide tires almost uni
versally and save money by doing so,
but it seems that farmers do not care
to economic in this direction. The
condition of our roads costs us more
than any other single item of waste in
this country, and the common use OF
wide tires would reduce this waste of
energy to a large extent-American

SPRAYING SOLUTIONS.
How to Compound Few of tho Safest
and Most Emcacious.

How to Compound Few of tho Safest
and Most Emcacious-
Spraying is most effectual when it Is
done early in the season. The sooner
the work begins the better. Sprayers
are now made OF many different de-
signs, and solutions can be carried in
barrels on wheels. Or on the back. in
Continuance similar to 4 knapsack.
Spraying is intended not only to pre-
vent diseases of fruits and vegetables,
and to protect the trees and plants in
that respect, but is used also as a safe
guard against insects. 4 frngicide is
a solution used for destroying para
site fungi. such as rot, mildew, blight,
rust, etc. An insecticide is used for
the destruction of insects. OF the we'll
known solutions that have been tested
and found eficacious are those men,
toned below:
Blue vitriol (sulphate of copper is
the principal substance used as fungi
eide. Dissolve six pounds in four gal
Ions of hot water. and then dilute
to sixteen gallons Shake four pounds
of lime in six gallons of water, in
separate vessel, and when cool strain
it into the copper solution. Use wooden
vessels after mixing. This is known
as the Bordeaux mixture" Another
copper solution, known as Eau Gel
este," is made by dissolving two pounds
of copper sulphate in four gallons of
water. adding three pints of ammonia,
and then diluting to fifty gallons, APP
plying as soon as made 'Ammoniacal
copper solution" is made by using car
Donate of copper, instead of the sui
phate, and carbonate of ammonia.
Dissolve three ounces of carbonate of
copper in a gallon of water, and one
pound of carbonate of ammonia in the
same quantity of water, separately.
Mix and dilute to fifty gallons, apply
ing when mixed.
For insects, the kerosene emulsion is
mostly used. Shave one pound of hard
soap in half gallon of boiling water.
and when the soap is dissolved remove
the boiling water from the fire, and
add half a gallon of kerosene, churn-
ing briskly with the force pump of the
sprayer for fifteen minutes until the
mixture has the appearance of thick
cream. Kerosene will not mix with
water, but will form an emulsion with
soap. Now add slowly. stirring well
from ten to fifteen gallons of water,
according to the strength desired. 1t
will keep any length of time, and de-
stroys insects on trees and plants, as
well as feas, lice. etc, and does
not injure plants like unadulterated
kerosene, being also much cheaper. A
gill of spirits of turpentine will i'm
prove the emulsion if added at the
time of adding the kerosene. An eff
Gent sprayer should throw a fine,
mist-like spray, and the spray should
spread over a large surface SO as to en-
