able development is being done on many promising prospects from which substantial returns are expected.
 Prescott & Began have completed all arrangements for starting the Ari- vaca mill on ore from the Sorreltop mine, and expected to start the stamps falling on the first instant.
 Sunday Crocum & Mitchell, at the Crocum mine, blew their whistle for the first time, and as the the rock breaker, which arrived that day, was all they were awaiting, they, no doubt, have their mill running.
 At the Austerlitz mine development work is being prosecuted with vigor. Two shafts are sinking and two tun- nels running. If the class of ore de- yelops in the quantities expected a lo0-stamp mill is to be erected.

REMEDY FOR SHEEP TICKS,

This pernicious insect will soon
spread through flock, and every ad-
dition to it of purchased sheep should
be quarantined, SO to speak, with the
greatest care, to free it from ticks.
When these pests have once taken
possession of flock, no time should
be lost in clearing the sheep of them
before the winter. Cases have been
known in which nearly all the spring
lambs have been tormented and bled
to death by ticks, for it may easily be
that hundred of them may be found
on one animal, the quantity of blood
thus lost, not counting the loss of vi
tality by the intolerable annoyance
and pain of the bites by such a num-
Der, may we'll be imagined as beyond
the endurance of weak animal like q
sheep. Doubtless this infiiction is the
cause of tho flock not doing well,
and the only remedy is to get rid of
the pests Immediately. A common
method is to pour buttermilk along
the back of the sheep. and carefully
guide it down the fanks by the hand,
SO that it reaches every part of the
skin. The kerosene emulsion IS also
an excellent remedy. 1t is made by
dissolving soft or other soap in hot
water and adding one-fourth the guam
tity of kerosene to it; the mixture is
well shaken, and kept for use. When
used, it is diluted with five times the
quantity of water and well shaken,
then used as mentioned for the butter
milk. Or the kerosene may be added
to the buttermilk, one part to twenty,
and the mixture applied as described
after thorough shaking. New York

INSECTS ON TREES IN WINTER.

A few winter days may be very
profitably employed in thoroughly
cleansing fruit and shade trees. The
fruit and shade may thus be saved,
and the appearance of the trees during
the next summer will be improved.
The aim ebould be in all cases to have
clean, healthy, well-fed trees, as these
are the least susceptible to insect at
tacks. Feeble or infested twigs OF
branches should always be cut out
promptly as soon as noticed, and in
all cases these should be burned to
kill any larvae which they may con-
tain. 1t will pay to scrub the bark of
all kinds of trees each winter with q
stiff brush and the suds of whale oil or
other soap, to remove harboring
MOSES, fungus growths, or other par
asitic plant life and to kill the insects
wintering in the crevices. s.-American
Agriculturist.

Man Always Was a Carver

History does not treat of time
when carving was not, apparently,
well known. Tradition does not ap.
pear to approach much nearer to its
genesis. Carvings were well executed
during the period of mans early oc-
cupation of the caves of Europe, and
most persons who have familiarized
themselves with archaeological re-
search know the figures of fish or seal
engraved on the canine teeth of large
carnivora, and the bear, reindeer,
musk, OK, horse, mammoth and other
animals carved on reindeer horn i'm
plements or on plates of ivory, the
tigues of the animals being at times
cut fully in the round, and found in
the lowest strata in the caves, under
many feet of cave earth and stalagma,
and associated with the bones of a
quaternary, and, at times, an arctic
fauna. The similarity of much of this
cave work with much of the Eskimo
production of the present day has
given rise to innumerable theories
concerning Il common origin for both
people. American Anthropologist,

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Go into winter quarters with as
many young bees as possible.
Most garden vegetables are gross
feeders, for whom the soil can hardly
be made too rich.
To know what to do and to do it in
time, after the hive is selected, is to
succeed in beekeeping.
Florida truckers whose crops were
destroyed by the storms are turning
their attention to planting strawber-
ries.
Opening furrow so as to drain of
water into the nearest ditch will save
many plants being thrown out by the
frost.
Lettuce plants in the greenhouse
should now be making good growth.
Prevent the appearance of green fly
by the free use of tobacco dust while
the plants are yet small.
1t is said that if cabbages are put
close together, with the roots deep in
the ground, and furrow of earth
turned over them, they will keep bet
ter than when the heads are turned
down.
1t is said that the colors in dried
flowers may be preserved by pressing
the plants between paper previously
saturated with n one per cent. oxalio
acid solution and then dried.
A mess of cooked turnips given once
day is said to be excellent in in
creasing the growth of young animals.
The turnips are not very nutritious,
but they are appetizing and form u
change from the usual dry food.
All garden land should now be we'll
manured and plowed, but not har-
rowed, as it is better to leave the sur
face rough for the frost to act upon.
The soil cannot be made too rich or
too well pulverized, and ground now
laid out for gardening next season
should be put in the best condition
possible.

Let the mother become sick and helpless,
and the house Is all In disorder. When
both father and mother are down you may

colds, and my arms were SO lame could not

could not get out OF bed Two and half bot
ties completely cured him. l will always

is Test at the right moment, and how every
household can be made happy where pain

A FUTURE FOR MUTTON,

There is no doubt that the mutton
sheep has great future before it. If,
despite free trade and high rents, the
English farmer can find money in the
industry. the American, with his un-
rivaled natural and political advan-
tages, ought to be able to. 1t is not
true that the English sheep-raiser has
any idea of going out of business
The number of sheep in that country
has declined, owing to last year s
great drouth, but at this years au-
tumn sales at the sheep fairs high
prices have prevailed. A Lincoln ram
was sold for $760, and nineteen others
of the same breed averaged $3.50 each.
Another lot of twenty averaged $40
each. At Scotch ram sale one Border
Leicester ram brought nearly 5000,
and the two others $500 each. The
same breeder sold thirty-two rams at
an average of over 5000.
To be able to pay these prices farm
ers must not only have made money
heretofore, but they must be satisfied
that there is still money to be made,
and that it is to be obtained only by
the use of the finest rams procurable.
The Importance of breeding only the
best has been too much overlooked in
America. We are only slowly realiz-
ing that it is quality rather than
quantity that counts. While we may
find that one good animal may cost
more than scrubs, it will also bring
considerably more when marketed,
and meantime the greater expense of
maintaining two animals must be set
off against the original cost. Col

In recent article on Coffee and Cocoa, the
eminent German Chemist, Professor Stutzer
Cocoa by the addition of potash, and of the
process common in Germany in which ammo
MIA is added, says: THE only result of these
processes Is TO make the liquid appear turbid
to the eye of the consumer, without effecting
n real solution of the Cocoa substances. This
artificial manipulation for the purpose of So
called solubility is, therefore, more or less in
spired by deception. and always takes place at
tho cost of purity, pleasant taste, useful action
and aromatic flavor. The treatment of Cocoa
by such chemical means is entirely objection
able. Cocoa treated with potash or
ammonia would tc entirely unstable but for
the supplementary addition of artificial fiavors
by which a poor substitute for the aroma
driven out into the air is offered to the con-
sumer." The delicious Breakfast Cocoa made
by Walter Baker & Co., of Dorchester, Mass
is absolutely pure and soluble No chemicals
or dyes, or artificial flavors are used in it.

four pieces, dropping them in drills
every fifteen to twenty inches. The
rows or drills should be almost four
feet apart to admit of cultivation with
horse and cultivator during the sum-
mer. There should be no cutting
down of the stalks nor pasturing, as
this would check the growth of tubers.
Late in the fall turn in the hogs, and
they will soon discover the tubers, but
will not eat the leaves and stalks. 1t
is good plan to have movable fence
in order to prevent the hogs from run
ming all over the field, digging few
tubers here and there, and not taking
them out clean as they go. On rich
soil artichokes yield enormously, and
one acre will fatten twenty-five or
thirty hogs, with few bushels of corn
to harden up their flesh at the close of
the season. In localities where the
ground does not freeze hard in wni-
ter, field of artichokes will be found
most excellent food for pigs and swine
that are to be kept over as stock ami
mails. The artichokes will not spread
into adjoining fields, and if you give
the hogs chance at them you will
not need to resort to other means for
killing out the plants. The tubers
can usually be obtained at seed stores
if orders are sent in early .or during
the winter months. New York Sun.

CONSTRUCTION oF A PIT.

From lady skilled in Horticulture,
writes M. w. Early to Home and
Farm, have obtained the following
reliable directions for the construc-
tion of pit. "Having successfully
tested the virtue and economy of
having pit, says she, 81 would sug.
gest to others the advisability of try
ing the same. No one need be ap-
palled by fear of any very great
expense. I venture to say that the
sum of $15 will secure good pit, pro-
vided few necessary precautions are
taken in the structure. Six feet is
amply deep. Choose warm, sunny
spot as little shaded by trees as pos
sible, on the southern side of the lot.
Begin by laying off the ground, nine
feet by fourteen. These dimensions
will furnish pit large enough to
hold more flowers than one person can
attend to out of pit, and leaves
room for any vegetable which you
may wish to start either by slip or
seed earlier than cold frame or hot
bed would enable you to do. Indeed,
there is no safer and more convenient
plan for having early tomato plants
than to raise them in pit. They are
far more forward than any you at
tempt to raise in the house, and it is
a great saving of trouble to have
them in the pit"
After the pit is dug it is good plan
to dig little hole or well, three feet
deep and three feet square, to hold the
water which rises after rains or
SHOWS, and which is apt to produce
mould or mildew in the flowers,
especially those on the lower tiers.
This hole being dry, the next thing is
the frame or woodwork, and this re-
quires about days work from q car
penter. The frame should be three
or four feet above ground at the
back, and should have a slop of at
least two feet from top to bottom.
Be very careful to have the planks
tight and close. Have double casing
OF the frame made after the four posts
are secured to the corners and frame
nailed to the outside. An inside casing
will give a neater finish to the job
and keep out any little cold which
might force its way in. 1t is an ex-
cellent plan to fill up the casing with
saw dust, Be very careful to see that
the frame for the sashes of glass is as
tight fit as possible.

CULTIVATION OF THE ART1cHoKE.

The common American, although
often enormously called Jerusalem ar
tichoke, is not raised from seed, but
from the tubers, these being planted
whole or cut into pieces, us frequently
practised with potatoes. As the tubers
are very hardy, they may be planted
in the fall or early spring, and for the
first season the cultivation should be
the same as with potatoes. 1t will re-
quire from six to eight bushels of
tubers to plant an acre. The longer
tubers may be cut up into three or

has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering

ing tubercular matter, great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery J" were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease2 You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll 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, i'll curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried i'll nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
