House Nerves.

"House nerves. is the latest name
invented by medical experts for the
peculiarly depressing set of ailments
which atflict people who stay indoors
too much. Merely as house nerves the
ailment can be regarded with some
complacency; but for all that it is not
q thing to be laughed at. AL over
Europe the rush for existence is play
ing havoc with sensitive cerebro-spinal
fibres. People recognize all the symp-
toms which the inventors of "house
nerves" describe as quite common to-
day. They are ''low spirits and brood
ing" much irritability and generally
''morbid habit" of mind.
Women, especially women who are
delicate and afraid to go out, owing
to the weather, are those who suffer
most from this malady. They have q
way of imagining that something aw-
full is happening to their husbands or
children when they are out of their
sight, they ''conjure up accidents, ana
lyze their feelings and lose their pow
er of will" All this occurs because
people are too sedentary, and stay at
home too constantly. Unfortunately,
housewife, as her name implies, iS
one whose duty 1t is to stay at home
for a considerable portion of each day;
and all the mischief arises from her
not being able to tear herself away
from home ties and forget all about
them in some form of out-of-d door
amusement or occupation.
Fortunately, the disease is not left
without remedy, and the prescrip-
tfon for person afflicted with "house
0erves" is very agreeable one. There
is no help to be got from medicine or
doctors. All that has to be done is to
pay visits to others, to take long walks
In the open air and sunshine, and to
60 in generally for gayety and inno-
cent amusements. The patient Is also
recommended to "repress every NOR
bid thought US it arises. or repel it by
thinking Of necessary duty."-Lon-
don Telegraph.

How Contneiou 4. Carrted.

A physician in country village has
lately given to his medical brethren
some additional instances of the ways
in which contagious are spread that
should make us all thoughtful. The
only case of scarlet fever ever lost by
this doctor was one in which the dis
ease was communicated by a letter
written by a mother lin whose family
there were two cases of the fever) to
a friend hundred miles away. The
envelope of the letter was given to
child as plaything. Another severe
case of the fever was contracted by
little girl from two playmates who had
what the doctor called scarlet rash,"
and still another was carried to fam
lily by q carpenter, who lived eight
miles away, whose little children were
ailing with scarlatina, a disease that
''the attending physician informed the
father was not nearly as catching as
scarlet fever"

Makinr Alfalfa Hax.


The conversion of q heavy mass of
alfalfa into a choice quality Of hay is
an operation, says B. f. Shuart in
Arid American, calling for no small
degree Of skill and experience. But
the process is one to be learned by in
telligent observation and practice,
rather than from written description.
The first and second crops Of each sea-
son need to be cured with special care
or they will certainly mold In the
stack. Beginners need to beware Of
this point. The knack to be acquired
Is that of curing the hay sufficiently
stack, without becoming SO dry as to
shed its leaves in the handling. This
cannot possibly be accomplished by
curing fully in the swath. A method
much practiced is to rake the alfalfa
while quite green into windrows, where
1t is allowed to cure somewhat more,
and finally to make it into moderate
sized cocks, in which it is allowed to
stand until ready for the stack. This
process makes very nice hay, but
where large acreage is to be taken
care of 1t is too slow and expensive.
Alfalfa may be cured with entire sue
cess in the windrow, but it is i'm
portant, when cured in this way, that
there be ample facilities for putting it
into the stack very rapidly when
ready, otherwise it will become too
dry and much Of it will be lost in the
handling, especially IL it has to be
carried from the field on wagons.
Alfalfa should be cut on the first ap-
pearance of bloom, as experiments
have proved it's nutritive ratio to be
considerably higher at that stage than
later on.
The Dickinson press., 1895-08-17

There are several crops which may
be used successfully after early pota-
toes, but none more generally useful
than turnips. 1t is, of course, root
crop after root crop, but where the
land has been reasonably cared for no
danger may be apprehended from this.
Turnips for stock feeding are a very
valuable adjunct to the general farm
er, and are easily cared for. 1t is sur
prising that they are not more gen.
orally grown by the general farmer.
In preparing this potato land for the
turnip seed bed, the pulverization must
be thorough and to considerable
depth. 1t is always advisable to seed
with drill. If there is any tendency
followed by the pulverizing harrow;
face they must be crushed and the
soil trea ted as before. With light land
In good heart q spading harrow will
be sufficient, unless the ridge method
has been very pronounced, In which
case the plow must be used. 1t must
be remembered that the potato has
probably used the available fertilizing
elements in the fertilizer applied for
that crop; or, If not, they are no long
er in an available form, particularly
for quick growing crop. This is par
ticularly true IL the potato crop has
not been very good one. 1t stands
to reason that the turnip will make a
poor success of utilizing a material
that the potato has not been able to
assimilate.
In considering a fertilizer for any
crop, the most important consideration
is the actual needs of the crop itself
Of the three elements of fertility. That
is, in what proportion will these ele-
nlents exist in the vegetable forma-
tion. One hundred pounds of nitrogen
In potatoes is accompanied by 1T
pounds Of potash and thirty-nine
pounds of phosphoric acid. If either Of
these three elements is wanting, the
crop will be measured by the missing
element. II, for instance, there was no
available potash in the soil, there
would be no potatoes, and the same
thing is equally true of nitrogen and
phosphoric acid. 1t is evident that po-
tatoes are heavy potash users. Tur-
nips also require high potash pro-
portion; 100 pounds of nitrogen being
accompanied by 228 pounds of potash
and 72 pounds Of phosphoric acid. 1t,
therefore, seems very probable that
potash will be relatively more deficient
after potato crop than under nor
NAL conditions, and that a turnip crop
following same should be provided
with ample quantities Of this fertilizer
to supply its relative wants. Phos-
phoric acid must also be applied; in
fact, the minerals are an important
matter to successful root growing.
These minerals should be applied
broadcast before spading or plowing,
as the case may be. They should be
well incorporated with the soil and
not applied in the seed drills. Plow-
ing under is the most effective treat
ment, undoubtedly, and there is little
or no danger of loss from drainage at
this season Of the year. ~"
