Ono terrible form of brain disease,
with mental symptoms, is certainly
increasing. writes DR.. g. 8. Clouston,
of the Moringside Asylum. That
malady may be described as . break
down Vt tho great centre Of mind and
motion in the brain; it always goes
on from bad to worse till it renders its
victim utterly helpless in mind and
body, and kills him in few years.
No cure, and scarcely any mitigation
Of this later-day curse, has yet been
devised. It is disease Of cities, of
restless lives, of active brains in their
primes; sometimes of dissipation, Of
life at high pressure commonly.
During the past year the asylums of
Scotland received $50 new cases |;
those of England 400, and those in
Ireland fifty-two. The asylum sta
tistics of this country show an even
greater number.
In q single asylum of New York
State, for example, that at Ogdens-
burg, there were among the $50 ad.
missions thirty-one cases OF general
paresis. This would make the pro-
portion of general paresis over four
per cent.
Among seven State asylums, to
which 1912 patients were admitted in
1890, there were sixty-six cases OF
general paresis, or little over three
per cent. If four per cent be the
general ratio for this disease in the
State of New York, then the total
number of paretics among the 16, 600
insane would be about GAO. As O
matter OF fact the number is much
greater, because the proportion OF
this disease is larger in the New York
and Kings County Asylums than in
those of the State at large. But even
if there were but 1000 cases of general
paresis among the 100000 insane OF
this country, it would be an extraor-
dinary evidence of the development
of the disease which in the last cen.
tury was certainly not known, even if
it did exist.

A YOUNG CALF THAT WILL NOT psrNK.


Calves appear stupid and willful
sometimes, but in the majority of
cases it is the person who is trying to
feed them that should be blamed for
the same failing. The young things
are led by instinct to suck the COW
and to hold up the head for this pur.
pose, and tc teach them the reverse
calls for patience and kindness.
Doubtless some are moro stubborn
than others, but tho right way will be
successful with tue worst of them in O
short time. If tho calf does not un-
derstand its business at first, the milk
should be poured into its mouth by
the sccoped hand until it finds it is
getting its food, then by gently press
ing its head down to the milk in the
pail, raised for the purpose as high as
may be, aud putting the two foretin-
gors. spread a little apart, into its
mouth, the calf will soon begin to
drink. If it does not, tho best way is
not to try to force it, or beat it. but
to leave it until it is hungry, when it
will very Quickly find u way to get the
milk. Many times .. calf a t'ay or less
old will drjni at the first attempt,
when its head is gently pressed down
to the milk, fresh and warm from tic

THE SILENT sUBsoILER.

There are some silent subsoilers that
do their work with ease, and. in their
way, as efectually as any team or
plow ever hitched, though on some
lands the use of subsoil plow is es-
eential to the best beginning of such
work. The clover plant is rightly
famed as one of these, and alfalfa is
its superior. Its roots work Sunday as
well MS Saturday; night and day they
strike five, ten, fifteen or twenty feet
deep, making innumerable perfora-
tions, while storing up nitrogen, and
when these roots decay they leave not
only generous crop, but millions of
openings into which the air and rains
of heaven find their way. and help to
constitute an unfailing reservoir of
wealth, upon which the husbandman
can draw with little fear of protest or
ovcrdraft. New England Homestead.

POULTRY FOR HOME USE.

There is not great deal of differ
ence in the price of meats, and poul-
try, which is easily digested, ought to
be more on farmers tables than it is
The staple meat product used on the
farm is pork. That is always hard to
digest, and if more of the vital energy
expended in digesting pork were used
in pushing farm work and planning
better methods farming would pay
better than it does. The poultry yard
should not be regarded as only a
means to make more money. If it
helps to make farm life more attrac-
tive it will be no less profitable than
If it added directly to the bank ac-
count. t.-Boston Cultivator.

The Cocoanut Pearls.

Among the curiosities of tropical
plant life are the pearls found occa-
sionally in the cocoanut palm OF the
Philippine Islands - pearls which,
like those of the ocean, are composed
OF caronate of lime. The bamboo,
too. yields another precious product
in the shape of true opals, which are
found in it's joints. In each case this
mineral matter is, of course, obtained
from the soil. The natives of the
Celebes use these vegetable opals as
amulets and charms against disease.

PIG RAISING.

Pig raising is the natural compile
ment of dairying, as by its means all
refuse milk is utilized to produce
meat of the best quality. Dairy fed
pork is far superior to pork fed on
any other kind of feed. It is an
article of moro value in the worlds
market when converted into bacon
Skim milk, fed in conjunction with
wheat middlings and little oil meal
will produce twice the amount of lean
pork to be obtained from cornmeal
and water, Independent of the better
health and larger growth obtained by
keeping the digestion OF the pigs in
good working order.

TO REMOVE STAINS.

To Remove Stains From Marble
Mix we'll together an equal quantity
of lemon juice and oil of vitriol; wet
the stains with the mixture, and after
a few minutes rub with soft cloth.
Be careful not to let the vitriol come
in contact with any article of your
dress, or it will burn it.
To Bleach Ivory-Wash in water,
thoroughly rinse and dry, then rub
peroxide of hydrogen over the article,
and stand in the sun to dry.
To Remove Grease from Boards or
Kitchen Furniture-Buy some fullers'
earth You can get good deal for o
penny; make paste of it with cold
water, spread it thickly on the grease
spots. Wash off after o few hours,
and repeat il any grease remains.
Washing oilcloth with soap and soda
and leaving the surface wet is ruinous
to it.
Another simple and useful mode is
to rub the oilcloth with rag dipped
in parafin. New York Dispatch.

TIE LAND IS "srcK OF CORN. /"

Sandy loan soil, heavily dressed
with manure from milking COWS,
yielded increasing crops of ensilage
corn for seven years, but the yield has
fallen off steadily the past three sea-
sons and tho corn is more liable to
smut, is the complaint of a Massa.
chusetts lairyman. This land Is sick
of corn and needs a change. The smut
germs have gone into the manure and
back to the soil yearly until the earth
is charged with them and the smut
thrives If weather permits. The man
ure probably supplied as much nitro
gen, potash and phosphoric acid as o
good crop would require, but the soil
has evidently got in such condition
that the corn can't avail itself freely
Of this food. Sow to grass or grain,
or put in potatoes and vegetables, ap-
plying only good dose Of unleached
wood ashes, and in '96 or better in '97
it will probably bo as good as ever for
corn.-American Agriculturist.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
See that the fowls are provided
with shade.
Turkeys should be carefully watched
and kept in very dry, sunny coops.
Don't trust the hired man or boy
to look after the chickens. They will
neglect them. If you want the poultry
attended to properly, do it yourself.
Only careful account will tell how
many groceries the egg supply pur
chases on the farm. Keep an account
for while, and then the hens will be
more appreciated.
Do not let the chicks roost on small
roosts while they are young. If they
roost before their breasts become firm
and hardened they will be sure to
have crooked breast bones.
It is good sign to see so many
women interested in raising poultry.
They are generally more successful
than the men, because they are more
careful and thorough in feeding and
making the focks comfortable.
Each month brings its special work
in poultry raising, same as other
crops on the farm. The work of the
present month is supplementary to
the coming one. Success hinges on
getting the flock in readiness for the
season to come.
Experience is great school in
poultry raising, and the mistakes are
guide posts to keep every ono in line.
Get all the experience You can and
avoid making the same mistake twice,
and then you will be on the road to o
profitable success.
The success of many man in the
poultry business. both commercially
and from fancier's standpoint in
show records, is due to women, who
get no credit. They have been the
power behind the throne many time
when men havereceived the honors.
Nothing is more delicate than a
young turkey and more ready to give
up its life, so that if you attempt to
raise them make up your mind to
properly attend to them. The Bronze
are the best, though the White Holland
are considered excellent, and pretty
fowls to have about.
The question of when a hen lays
daily has been often discussed. Some
lay in the forenoon and others as late
as 3 p. m. I think, as rule, you
will find more lay between 10 and l
o'clock than later hours of the day.
A close observer of his flock will notice
more closely the habits of his favorite
layers and in this way answer the
question to his own satisfaction.
Bread that is stale is excellent if
scalded with hot water, mixing it with
middlings and chopped feed, in the
morning. 1t can be bought at any
bakery, at fifty cents per barrel, and
is good for young chicks as we'll as old
fowls when not fed too much and only
as a mixture with other soft feeds.
Some crumble it up and throw it on
the floor; this is all right in moderate
quantities. What poultry require to
do well is variety of food and moder-
alton in kinds of grain or mess that
you give to them.
