A Cold in the Head.

The process by which a cold in the
head or throat may be promptly re-
lieved, as suggested by a French ply
sician, is not new, but it is revival of
a most agreeable if ha!f-forgotten
method. Frenchwomen have long
known the virtues Of prompt inhala-
tons of eau de cologne, and an old
French mam'selle, who taught tho
young ladies of an uptown school twen-
ty years ago, was at least one of her
race to import the remedy. Like all
such remedies, the cologne water
should be inhaled at once, as soon as
the first SYMPTOMS of the coming attack
appear. Deep whiifs must be taken,
and the fumes are more potent when
the cologne is poured on a handker-
chief. Four or five inhalations of from
two or three minutes each are sufficient,
according to the French doctor, to put
to rout the most willing to-stay cold, II
the preventive Is begun in time.

Adobe Houses Are Once Moro Being
Built in the West.
It is e curious thing that adobe
houses, the earliest type Of Eouses
known in this country, are again COM
ing to be used, as several have been re-
Gently built in Colorado. Everybody
who has ever seen a picture Of cliff
dweller's town or Of pueblo village
knows what an adobe house is. The
adobe house is made Of peculiar
sticky mud and is always sun drie1.
The bricks vary in size and are gener-
ally about 4 inches deep, 6 inches wide
and 16 inches in length, while the outer
walls of the adobe building proper vary
from . to feet in thickness. One old
mission in New Mexico boasts o. an
outer wall six feet in thickness.
CuriOusly enough, the exact recipe
for mixing this adobe is held as Sc
cret by the Mexicans and half-breeds.
Not even have they disclosed the neces-
sary amount of hay or straw to make
up perfect adobe brick. Mayhap The
Egyptian told it to the Aztec and this
wonderful race to the ancestors Of the
present The building Of an adobe
house must necessarily be confined to
the months between May and August,
at least in Colorado. Arizona and New
Mexico, for frost is death to the ILL.,
baked brick. The adobe is prepared in
the Old-fashioned way-that Of treaj-
ing-and when the mud is worked to
the proper consistency by the nervous
feet of the Mexican it is placed in molds
of the required size. The mortar is
also Of mud, but dries quickly, and Is
as solid as modern cement. Wealthy

ter and summer in Honolulu. While
the exterior of the Dole mansion
is plain, it is handsomely, even
luxuriously, furnished. The library con-
tains many books and the usual compile
ment Of tables and chairs. Pictures and
statues and statuettes are numerous. Mrs.
Dole is an artist, and some of the paint
iHgs are Of her own production. One no.
tees a great predominence of Ameri-
can subjects among these pictures and
statues. The largest statue is the figure
o: Massachusetts minute-man of 1875.
Mr.. Dole says he has these "reminiscences
and reminders of America because he
looks to it always as the Parent
country, just as an Australian or
New Zealander always speaks of
England as "home," though he
might never have seen the old country.
The provisional President is the son of
New England missionaries who went out
to Hawaii in 1871. So he has come hon.
estly by his ministerial appearance and
manner. He was born in Honolulu in
1S44, received his elementary education
there at Punahou College, and was then
sent to Williams College, MASSACHUSETTS.

especially if both are in the habit of
dropping their eggs in that identical
nest. BY this system Of grouping,
when they reach the stepping board, or
walk, and find one nest occupied. they
pass on to another, without molestins
the occupant. Another poin- in favor
of portable nests is that they are read
lily taken down, and every part can he
thoroughly cleaned. Those who have
tried this plan of grouping nests fil,d
it extremely convenient and practical.
Plant Food.
The established fact that legumin-
GUS plants are able to gather a portion
of the nitrogen they need for food,
either directly or indirectly, from the
free nitrogen of the air, suggests that it
may be worth while to investigate the
fOraging powers of different plants for
other nutrients. Every one knows
that in any given soil different plants
are grown with different degrees of
success, and it seems quite likely that
some plants are able to use certain
compounds of potash or phosphoric acid
in the soil which are not so readily
available to others, just as leguminous
plants can obtain nitrogen from sources
that are not available to the grasses.
Some tests were made at the Maine
Experiment Station last year to ascer-
tain the capability of different plants
to appropriate phosphOric acid, and
they seem to indicate that wheat, bar
ley, corn, peas, and especially turnips,
can secure this food from crude, finely
ground South Carolina rock with great
er or less ease, while beans and pota-
tees derive no benefit from it. OF
course, definite conclusions can hardly
be drawn from one years work, but
these investigations are being con-
tinued. 1t would be distinct gain to
horticulture and agriculture if it could
be known in what particular form each
particular plant preferred to have its
food.-Garden and Forest.

AN EARLY TEXAN INDUSTRY.

How Cattlemen Laid the Foundation
of Their Fortunes.
"The foundation Of the fortune Of
many Of the great Texas cattlemen was
laid in the years Immediately following
the civil war;" said a man from the
Lone Star State.
During the four years in which the
drafts for the Confederate army prac-
tically depopulated the country Of its
able-bodied men, the cattle on the
ranges, running unherded and unbrand-
cd, increased enormously in numbers.
Bearing no brand of ownership, these
cattle, which at the close Of the war
had become practically wild, were sub.
ject to be taken by any man who could
sustain his attempt by force of arms
against other claims Of ownership.
There was good commercial de-
mand for hides, and these were the
times when so many got their start in
life by riding, pistol in hand, up to the
cattle wherever found unherded, shoot
ing them down and taking their skins.
The adult cattle then running at large
were too wild to be disposed of in any
other way, and so the Undertaking in
dustry fourished; but when, in time,
through the catching and branding Of
calves, herds had been collected on
ranges, the shooting Of mavericks fell
into disrepute and came under the ban
of 'rustling.' Those men who, through
the practice, had become well-to-do
cattle owners, now were foremost in
suppressing it, through the instrument
atty Of the courts and, more effectual-
~, by informal hangings."

Snow Over Winter Grain.

All farmers who grow winter grain
like to have plenty of snow in winter.
1t is not SO much to protect the ground
from freezing, for severe cold will
freeze through light snow, and a light
covering is better than a heavy one
always. What the snow does is to coy
er the leaves so that they do not evap-
crate moisture, as they are always do
ing when exposed to currents of air.
The destruction of woods in many
States has made winter grain Il more
doubtful crop than it used to be. 1t
sweeps the snow that should be a pro-
lection for the whole field into banLs
on the leeward side Of fences. 1t also
blows away a good deal of surface soil.

snow banks opposite winter grain fields

Incubators for Winter Matching.
1t is not natural for hens that are
kept in vigorous health to want to set
in winter. The incubator is ut this sea-
son an absolute necessity for those who
would rear early chicks. Art is in this
instance better than nature. The heat
can be regulated more certainly and
evenly with an incubator than most
hens will do it. The hen has really very
little sense. If the fit of sitting leaves
her a few hours she will expose the eggs
to be chilled, and then return after
every germ of life is destroyed and set
patiently on the eggs until they are at
last taken away from her. In midsum-
mer or late spring the hen can dc the
work as we'll and as cheaply as an in
cubator will. She may not set any
more steadily, but not so much de-
ponds on her fidelity, as in warm
weather the air is very near the right
temperature to develop the young
chick in its shell.

Do not forget that a grade animal

Nothing but a thoroughbred will give
you improved stock from your mares

There is no point in the life Of an
animal when it is not making gain or
losing, and every pound lost is two
pounds to gain. All classes of stock
should be kept growing. If the ami
mails lose weight under favorable con-
ditions it is an indication that better
stock should be used.
