An ADAMLEss EDEN.-An Oswego

Mary Walker has bought farm con-
tanning 1876 acres of land seven miles
west of this city, and proposes to form
a colony in which man shall have no

them in market and take care of the

county strawberries. There is fine
apple orchard, several hundred pear
trees and four acres devoted to vine

less all plans fail it will be perfect
garden of Eden, but without an Adam.

While in Chicago, Mr.. Charles L..
Kahler, prominent shoe merchant of
Des Moines, Iowa, had quite a serious
time of it. He took such severe cold
that he could hardly talk or navigate, but
the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy cured him of his could so
quickly that others at the hotel who
had bad colds followed his example and
half a dozen persons ordered it from the
nearest drug store. They were profuse

HAYMARKET.-Last Friday was day of
accidents on the Mill Park farm. Mr.. Emo
Heineken was loading shells when one ex-
ploded causing or more to explode in addi-
ton to one-half pound of powder, all of which
were within two feet of him. He was very
badly burned about the face and hands, pow
der being blown in them, all of his eyebrows
and lashes were burned off and the whole face
burned in blister. Luckily, his eyes escap-
ed the slightest injury. Medical assistance
was procured at once and we are pleased TO
learn that he is much better. On the same
day Mr.. Heineken had stack yard burned,
losing about 600 bushels of wheat. and the
thresher belonging to Mr.. T. E. Safer was
burned to the ground. 1t is supposed the fire
started from spark from the engine, but no
one was there at the time. They have the
sympathy of the community. We trust this
may prove lesson to Others that they may
take advantage of insurance. Of course this
would not have prevented fire, but would.
help fill an empty pocket book. This is the
second case of this kind that has occurred in
this neighborhood this season. Warrenton

1t is not the electric lights nor the

things with which Mr.. Edison's name
is connected that strikes the visitor as
the greatest part Of his work. It is
the invention of the innumerable
machines with which these things are
made. Tho idea of the electric light
would have been of no use in the
world without machines for making
the lamps and the other parts. All Of
these machines had to be invented
and made by tho electricians, and
there are thousands of them m--some no
bigger than toy engine, some rs
large, nearly, as a house. Many of
them are SO delicate that they are
operated with belt no larger than q
shoestring. One of them is used for
polishing jewels for use in the phono-
graphs. Without being touched by
anybody it holds the tiny jewel in
every possible position, shifting it,
turning it, absolutely feeling it, to
learn whether it is smooth, and all
the while its delicate fingers are at
work rubbing. rubbing at the jewel.

THE FAMILY srrrrNa.nooM.

One of the good old institutions Of
family life which has nearly disap-
peared from the modern home is the
family sitting-room. Nothing in the
modern small house takes the place or
fulfills its function. The small parlor
and receptlon-hall must be kept in or
der for company. This is necessity
when there are young children. The
library is too small, and is, besides,
the place where VIC want quietness.
Usually, also, it opens out of the par
lor or hall, and therefore has not the
privacy necessary to the true family
sitting-room. In these days of ex-
tremc individualism every member Of
the family wants a room to himself or
herself, which is, presumably, the
reason why our houses are cut up into
so many little cubby holes of cham.
bers. And SO there is no place kept
for big, comfortable, light, airy,
roomy sitting-room.
Yet did we regard things rightly we
would have sitting room in our house
il we had to sacrifice the parlor. Not
that it could take the place of the
parlor, for one of the first requisites
to the real family sitting-room is
privacy to family life and opportunity
for freedom. There must be the big
table with the lamp and the children s
school books, toys and games, the
newspaper, and perchance the moth
er's mending basket. There must be
the comfortable lounge on which the
tired father or son can stretch ut ease
and take little evening nap, lulled
by the murmur of family life around
him. There must be tho easy chairs,
not too fine to be tilted back by the
kind but unsophisticated relative from
the country, whom, of course, we
must admit to this family sanctum.
Here especially must the mother make
her headquarters. The mother is the
heart of the home, and she must be
accessible to all her family many
hours of the day if the heart-life of
the home Is to be kept warm and
glowing
Around her the different members
of the family must center for the in
terchange of thought and news of each
others doings. 1t is truly lamentable
that in SO many families brothers and
sisters, parents and children are oil.
most entire strangers to each Other z
lives and when they do meet have
very little of common interest to talk
about. The tendency is to the disin-
tegration Of the home and the chill.
ing and decay of family affection.
Nothing will remedy this like return
to the good old custom and possession
of family sitting-room.- Chicago

EARLY MATURITY OF STOCK. n

All our domestic animals como to
maturity much earlier than used to be
the case. The regular supply of food
in sufficient quantities brings oil ami
mails to the breeding age much earlier
than they would come when in wild
state and dependent wholly on their
own exertions. AS tho breeding is
earlier there is less vitality in the
progeny aud much greater suscepti.
bility to disease. In the wild state,
too, the weakllngs are killed off by ex-
posure to the weather from which an-
imals that are domesticated are care
fully shielded. Thus in one case only
the most vigorous survive to perpetu-
ate their kind, while in the other the
progeny is from both the weak and
the strong, and therefore possesses a
smaller degree of constitutional vigor.
Sheltering too warmly promotes early
breeding, and therefore tends to di-
minish size and health. In the Chan
mel Islands cattle this early breeding
and early maturity has run to excess
1t is the stock that has been pushed
too rapidly aud forced into premature
breeding that now suffers most from
tuberculosis. One of the best ways to
check this disease is to reverse this
process. Heifers of the small breeds
should be we'll into their third yeai
before being allowed to drop calf,
and in the meantime they ought not
to be fed 80 as to induce tendency tt
fatten. 1t is too great burden tt
pat on young heifer, itself not hal
grown, to set it to growing cal
while itself needing all it can digest t,

CHICKENS BY ARTIFICIAL INCUBATION.

The right heat of an incuba-
tor is 104 degrees, varied occasionally
for a short time down to eighty de-
grees. This change of the tempera-
ture is needed to aerate the eggs in
side, for as the eggs cool, the air in
side contracts and air from outside
passes through the shell. Moisture is
also needed, SO that the eggs are
sprinklcd now and then with warm
water. When the chicks are Matched
they are fed with any good food, but
mostly with cracked wheat or oatmeal
at first, or a cake of cornmeal with
eggs in it, and n little sugar is very
good for them at first. They will eat
quite readily, but it is desirable to
teach them to drink by taking one in
the hand and dipping its bill in the
water in shallow dish. The chicks
are kept at first in broodcr for q
week or moro until they get strong.
After that they may be put into a
glass covered run out of doors and fed
six times day, until they are strong
enough to go at large in good weather

hold 200 eggs will cost about $40. 1t
is not advisable for any person to try
this business until he has had success.

one acre of ground, divided into two

TO PREVENT SMUT IN CORN.

Much has been said of late of cattle
and horses and other stock mysteri-
ously dying, and the cause has been
traced to the smut on corn or SINH.
lar fungus on other grain or grass fed
to them. The common smut of rain
crops is minute plant consisting of
white threads, like those of mildew.
which grow in plants, and generally
concentrate in the seed heads. That
OF corn appears in every part of the
plant, even in the roots, but mostly in
the seed heads. The seed of the smut
fungus consists of extremely minute
black or brown balls, called spores,
and, when this smut dries, it is car.
ried off by the winds and spread far
and wide. But some of it lodges in a
tuft Of minute hairs at one end of the
seeds of the grain, and thus, when the
grain is sown, the smut is sown with
it, and in this way is most effectively
spread among the now crop. To pre-
vent this the seed, whether wheat,
oats or corn, is stepped in solution
of four ounces of bluestone (sulphate
of copper in five gallons of hot water,
and this, when cold, is used to steep
the seed in. The smut spores are thus
killed, and, of course, the danger of
new smut is greatly reduced, as only
that floating in the air will infect the
crops. The seed is kept IN the solu-
tion for a few minutes, then taken out
and drained and spread out to dry; it
is then sown Immediately. Or the
wet seed may be mixed with some dry,
air-slackened lime, which is great
help, and, thus driod, may be sown at
once, either by hand or by drill. =
