Field Officers,

There is no certainty as regards the
chances of anybody in the election for
field officers on the 31st inst. No predic-
tion can be given with any assurance
that lit will be fulfilled, but at the same
time a number of men are very proTnin-
entity mentioned for some offices and, to
say the least, their chances for election
seem better than that Of any others.
Colonel Henry Page, who was colonel
during the war, but does not now belong
TO the n. G. o.. is talked OF for colonel
of the First regiment and Captain Den
halter, of Company VI. in Provo, for lieu
tenant-colonel The choice for ma or's of
this regiment is very much in doubt as
nearly every company is likely to want
its own captain elected. The same may
be said of the 1najcr of the first battalion
of the Second regiment and The cavalry.
The batteries elect no major, their cap
tains being members of the board OF con-
troll and a major is considered superflu-
GUS Altogether it is very probable that
some offices will have to be baIoted for
looked for with considerable interest.

HnW YOIlR HEIGHT VARIES.

A person is taller in the morning
than at night. The reason is that he is
pressed down during the day by the
weight of the atmosphere and by the
pressure of the upper parts of his
body and such burdens as he may
carry. These weights press down the
cartilages at the joints, and especially
those in the spinal column, so that the
height of the man is reduced. When
the weights are removed and he lies
down at night the cartilages act like
cushions, and gradually return to their
original size.
A French statistician reports meas
urements of 2S7 persons, showing a
difference in height between morning
and night measurements of one-fifth to
four-fifths of an inch. This fact is
well understood among French con-
scripts, the examiner reports that
some of those who are just upon or
very slightly above the minimum limit
as to height walk about with heavy
weights upon their shoulders for sever
oil days and during the night immedi-
ately preceding the final measure
ment, in order to reduce their height.
This practice has been so successful
that in some extreme cases, according
to the same authority, the height of
man has been reduced by it more than
an inch. AS men advance in age the
cartilages do not fully recover during
the night from the effects of the days
compression. The result of this is
that men are commonly pot so tall at
an advanced age PC i1 middle life.
An extreme case is reported of a
a man who had lost one and nine
tenths inches at the age of IS.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

A sandy soil is the best location for
the poultry yard.
Hens learn to eat eggs from having
broken eggs in the nest.
Small chickens should never be kept
or fed with old ones.
Keeping the nests dark will often
prevent the hens from eating the eggs.
A liberal feeding of good wheat
with the morning ration will help in
egg production.
Airs Stacked lime freely used in the
poultry quarters will destroy unpleas-
ant odors.
The best way Of promoting health is
with clean quarters, pure water and
nutritious food
One frequent cause of loss among
poultry is in keeping too many fowls
together.
Eggs are favored to a great extent
by what the fowls eat. Attention to
the food is necessary to have the best
eggs.
Dry earth is the best deodorizer
known. 1t is also the best absorbent
to preserve the manure in the least
offensive way.
Dusting air-slacked lime freely over
the floor is one of the best remedies
for dampness in the poultry-house.
Adding a little carbolic acid to the
dust bath will make it more effective
in Kidding the fowls of lice.
Hens that are 2 years old will make
the best breeders; a larger per cent. of
the eggs will hatch.
The laying and setting hens should
always have separate apartments in
order TO prevent fighting among the
hens and breaking of eggs.
Nest boxes are often made too mar
row and so arranged that the hen is
compelled to turn around after getting
in the nest. This increases che risk Of
her breaking her eggs.
Nearly all poultry diseases are
caused by cold, wet, want of cleanli-
ness and improper feeding. In other
words, by neglect somewhere. 1t is
easier to prevent many evils than to
cure them after they develop.
When roup appears in the flock, the
safest plan is to kill the first birds that
show the symptoms of it, and either
bury them deep or burn them. The
disease is very contagious and will
soon spread to the entire flock.
With turkeys it is of more import
ance to procure fresh blood and avoid
inbreeding than with chickens. The
turkey quickly succumbs to inbreeding,
Geese may be kept for breeding until
quite aged, but brakes should be
changed annually.

SUMNER MULCHlNG.

Summer mulching is especially val
liable as an aid to retaining moisture
in the soil. After the soil gets dry
there will be no moisture to retain, so
that mulchng, to be of the most bene-
fit, should be applied before dry wealth
er sets in. The latter part of June or
the very first of July is as late usually
as it can be considered advisable to
summer mulch. All newly set trees
or plants should be mulched, and when
the material can be had and there is
time to do the work it will pay to
mulch even after the tree has fully
matured.
Another advantage with mulching,
when properly done, is that it lessons
the work of cultivation. In fact, ifthe
soil is stirred into a fine tilth before
the mulch is applied it will keep loose
and mellow for long time without
stirring.
Summer mulching is also beneficial
in that it aids in storing nitrogen in the
soil. When the weather is hot and
dry and the soil is kept shaded con-
ditions are favorable to the process of
nitrifcation. Mulching keeps the soil
shaded.
The soil should be we'll stirred, the
finer the better, and then the mulch
applied, spreading it evenly and nearly
or quite as far out as the branches ex-
tend.
One of the best materials, in fact
the best, when it can be had, is bagasse,
the refuse from the sorghum mill.
This shades the ground and lies close,
is not easily blown off by wind and
contains few if any seeds. Old straw
is a good material for mulching, wheat
straw being preferable to almost any
other kind on account Of. the absence
of weed seeds. But old hay, forest
leaves or any kind of coarse litter can
be used.-The Republic.

PyzzL1NG QUEsTIoN.-''Yonder she
comes,"' said tall, lank man who was
sitting on a trunk near the railroad
station.
"Yonder who comes" asked fat,
heavy man who sat near him.
"The train," replied the lank man.
"Why do you say, 'Yonder she
comes p" asked the fat man.
"Well, that's the customary way OF
speaking of train, isn't it? And
custom is what fixes things. Every
body says, 'Yonder she comes in
speaking of trains approach"
"Well, I insist you should have said,
sYonder he comes"
"Oh. pshaw nobody ever says he
in speaking of train" " returned the
lean man.
"Well, I'll agree TO leave it to the
station agent, and see if it wouldn't
have been better for you to have said,
sYonder he comes,'" added the fat
man.
Both agreed to it, and when they
had found the agent the fat man
asked
"What is the train just coming into
the station?''
"It's mail train," he answered.
Then the lean man went out and
bought good cigar for the fat man.

USEFUL HINTS.

Bdr When you wish to cook any
thing quickly in an open vessel, do not
leave the spoon in, as it carries Oft
some heat.
pG Corks stepped in vaseline are
excellent substitutes for glass shoppers.
They are not easily affected by acids,
and never become fixed through dis
use.
~ Never sun feather beds or pill
lows. Air them thoroughly on a
windy day in cool place. The sun
draws the oil and gives the feathers
rancid smell.
s9- Medicine stains can be taken off
silver spoons, where polishing powder
fails, by rubbing them with cloth
dipped in sulphuric acid, and after
ward washing the spoons in soap suds.
s1- If cane chairs are sagging in the
seat, turn them upsides down and
wash them with strong soap suds.
Soak them thoroughly, then set them
to dry. The cane will stiffen up to its
normal condition.
gS For bread and pastry have an
oven that will in FIVE minutes turn a
piece of white paper dark brown.
When the oven is too hot, the tempera-
ture may be reduced by putting it in
pan ofcold water.
sE- 1t is said that the simple process
of washing the cheeks with soft, cold
water, then rubbing briskly with a
soft towel as a daily habit, will do
more to produce rosy cheeks than the
best artificial invention.
sT A baking-powder box Ground
and large as teacup) will chop apples
or warming potatoes three times as
fast as knife. If too dull to do good
work, file the edge and pound few
holes in or near the bottom to let the
air out, and keep it from drawing the
apple, etc., up into the box.

4 MAN-EATING PLANT.

There has been discovered in Mica
ragua hesh-eating or rather man
eating plant, which is called by the
natives "the DEVILS snare" In form, it
is kind of vegetable octopus or devil
fish, and it is able to draw blood out
of any living thing which comes with
i'm its clutches. In one of the swamps
which surround the great Nicaragua
lake a naturalist discovered the singu-
lar growth. He was engaged in hunt
ing for botanical specimens when he
heard his dog cry out as if in agony,
from distance. Running to the spot
whence the animals cries came, he
found him enveloped in perfect net
work of what seemed to be fine rope
like tissue Of roots and fbers. The
plant or vine seemed composed entire
ly of bare interlacing stems, resemb-
ling the weeping willow denuded of its
foliage, and covered with thick ves-
cid gum that exuded from the pores.
Drawing his knife he attempted to
cut the poor beast free, but it was
with the very greatest difficulty that
he managed to sever the tieshy mus
cular fbers of the plant. When the
dog was extrcated from the plant, he
saw to his horror and amazement that
the dogs body was blood stained,
while the skin appeared to have been
actually sucked or puckered in spots,
and the animal staggered MS if from
exhaustion. In cutting the vine the
twigs curled, like living sinuous fin
gers about his hand, and it required
no slight force to free the member from
its clinging grasp, which left the flesh
red and blistered. The gum exuding
from the vine was of grayish dark
tipge, remarkably adhesive and of a dis
agreeable odor, and powerful and nau-
seating to inhale. The natives show
ed the greatest horror of the plant,
and recounted TO the naturalist many
stories of its death-dealing powers.
A lump of raw meat being thrown
in, in the short space of five minutes
the blood will be thoroughly drunk
off and the mass thrown aside. Its
voracity is almost beyond belief.
