CURE For A CoLD.-I have two or
three times within the last three
months, been attacked by violent
cold in the head, the catarrh or dis
charge from the nose and eyes being
most distressing. On each occasion |
have speedily cured myself by slicing
two or three acid cooking apples into
a small saucepan of hot water, which
I then boiled for half all hour or So,
stirring occasionally with a spoon
until the apples were quite dissolved
into thin, pulpy soup. This, sweeten.
ed with sugar, I then drank. In less
than an hour afterwards 1 felt the
cold giving way, and in two or three
hours more it disappeared entirel ly.
Not happening to have a lemon by
me on the first occasion, tried this
remedy as a substitute and can now
confidently recommend it.

DECAPITATING TREEs.-When an
expert arborculturist transplants orna-
mental trees from the forest, such as
maple, elm, or Eastwood, he saws of
the entire top, leaving only a bare
stem, like hop pole. Why does he
cut back tree to such damaging
extent? Simply to maintain the bal.
ance of equilibrium between the
amount of roots and the quantity OF
branches and twigs. When a tree is
dug up, large portion of the root is
left in the ground, and the top must
be cut off in proportion. The great
practical lesson to be learned from this
fact is to watch every tree that does
not grow as rapidly as it should, and
cut away e.fourth, or half, or even
all of the top, sometimes leaving moth
ing but a. bare stub. AS soon as the
roots begin to take vital hold on the
soil, there will be sufficient sap 10
develop good twigs and buds. A per-
son who does not understand this
subject correctly will lack courage to
cut off a tree top. I have cut many
fruit trees from April until August,
before could remove enough of the
top to induce the tree to send out
new buds and grow vigorously. When
tree does not grow we'll, 1 saw the
top squarely off a few feet from the
ground, and cover the wound with
grating wax. Many trees die or be-
come feeble because they carry too
much top.

AT ANY CosT.-In wrath and tears
Edith Hewlett had gone to bed. She
had been tucked in once, given drink
twice, kissed goodnight three times,
and the lamp had been extinguished ;
but the spark of rebellion still burned
in her childish soul.
"Mamma," she cried.
$50 to sleep, Edith" her mother
said, sternly ~ shall not come in
there again.
~ want drink, mamma" Edith
pleaded.
"You've had two drinks already.
Now 60 to Sleep"
There was a brief silence, and then
Edith tried again.
"Mamma, come and kiss me good
night"
"You've been kissed goodnight,
dear, and shall not come in again, so
60 to sleep at once like good girl"
There was another pause, while the
lonely child cudgelled her little brain
for a new expedient.
"Mamma," she cried, at last, "please
come in, I'm so hungry"
"You cannot have anything to eai
tonight, and if 1 come in there again, .
the mother said, with rising choler
cit will be to give you good spank
ing!"
There was a longer pause, and just
as it began to look as if the evening:
battles were over, the child's voice wa:
heard again.
"Mamma," she pleaded, "I'm Sc
lonely in here! Please come in anc
spank men'

ABUSE OF THE EYE.-The abuse ot
the eye is the crime of the age. l am
prepared to demonstrate that at least
nine-tenths of the prevailing sleepless'
ness of which we hear so much is due
to nervousness directly traceable to
the optic nerve. We are wearing our
eyes over books, desks and types, and
the effect shows itself not only in the
appearance Of the organ itself; but in
its retroactive effect on nerve and
brain. l have a remedy for sleepless-
ness, and for the reason that / have
never known it to fail I am fortified in
my opinion that the whole trouble
arises from overstrain Of the eyes.
Take soft cloth-say piece of nap
ped towel-and fold in it two small
pieces of ice at proper distance apart
to exactly cover the eyes when the cl 9th
is laid across them. Then lie down,
and adjust the cloth with the ice over
the closed eyes, and yon will be
asleep in very short while.

DISEASES OF FOWLS.

CHoLERA.-A good remedy is hypo-
sulphite of soda. Dissolve as much of
it in a pint of water as possible; then
mix up some corn meal or wheat bran
with the water, and feed to the sick
fowls. Dissolve some in their drinking
water also. Feed this till every trace
of the disease disappears. If they are
too sick to eat, force it down their
throats.
RoUPE.-Take sulphate of zinc
wet the finger, then dip it in the zinc
and rub il into the fowls mouth ;
repeat twice, applying three times a
day. Or inject solution of copperas
water into The nostrils and down the
throat. The fowls should be kept in
warm, dry place.
SCALY LEGs.-This disease can be
cured by applying mixture of coal
oil and sulphur, with a few drops OF
carbolic acid added; apply twice q
week.
SORE HEAD.-Droopiness and loss
of appetite are sure indications of lice.
Examine the head and neck if they
are found, apply insect powder.
GAPEs.-To every pint of meal add
one teaspoonful of turpentine; see that
every chick gets some.
DIARRHGA.-Place the fowl in a
warm, dry place, and give it good
dose of castor oil twice or three times
day.
CANKER.-Scrape off the scabs and
apply blue vitrol; wash the head and
mouth with solution of alum and
vinegar. >,
To prevent the laying of soft-shell
eggs, feed wheat and oats and supply
the hens with ground oyster shell and
plenty of oflime.-Southern Planter.

HOW TO CUT POTATOES FOR SEED.

Every year there is the old discus
sion as to the best way of cutting
seed potatoes. Some years ago The
Rural New Yorker printed the opin-
ions of we'll known growers on this
question. Following is brief synop-
sis of their views:
DR.. T. II. Hoskins takes well ripen-
ed medium sized tubers, cuts them in
pieces of two eyes each. Peter Hen
derson favored using more seed
cutting less. Prof. E. s. Gof believes
in selecting seed from the most pro-
ductive hills and that it pays to plant
whole potatoes. Prof. H. E. Alvord
found that the crop decreased with
the size of the piece of seed in each
hill. w. I. Chamberlain believes that
pedigree and selection pay in potato
seed as we'll as in any other. He
prefers fair, we'll shaped, medium size
potatoes. In rich soil he would cut
them to one eye, if proportionate
amount Of the potato was left with it.
On the eye end he would have only
one eye and all meat. B. F. Johnson
cuts the seed to one or two eyes. T.
B. Terry cuts to one eye, not that he
gets more potatoes by so doing, but
more dollars. Alfred Rose cuts to sin.
gle eyes, with a concave knife, four or
five weeks before planting. When
planting time came he rejected all Of
the pieces that had not sprouted
Waldo F. Brown always cuts seed oil
medium size into from four to six
pieces, with not less than two eyes to
a piece, and plants one in place. T.
V. Munson, of Texas, would cut seed
potatoes into four slips, lengthwise
and plant one piece in hill. Chas
A. Green prefers as much of the pota
to as possible. D. H. Alexander cuts
the largest potato into four pieces and
plants one in a hill. Small and medi
um he plants uncut.

"What is the matter here?" de.

"GOLD ONLY."

THERE is no excuse nowadays for a
citizen failing to subscribe for great
metropolitan newspaper in addition to
to taking his own county paper. The
"Twice-a-Week Republic of St. Louis,
which is credited with the largest cir
culation of any weekly paper. is only
81 year, and for this sum it sends
two papers a week, or 104 papers a
year-less than one cent each. The
weekly contains the best and brightest
news condensed from the daily paper,
together with a well assorted collec-
ton of reading matter and useful in
formation. A popular feature in its
columns this year will be the speeches
of prominent men in the presidential
campaign. These will be given al
most in full. A reader of the Twice
a-Week" Republic will always be
abreast of the times, for no paper has
greater news gathering facilities. The
Daily and Sunday Republic can now be
had by mail for little more than cent
and half day, or Sc year. when
paid in advance. Though this paper
has greatly reduced its price, it has
increased its value twofold by adding
many valuable features.

As to Missour1's Senators.

Twenty-four members of the United
States Senate have fallen under the
high displeasure of the New York Sun,
for advocating the Free Coinage Of Sill
YER in opposition to the views of the
magnates of Wall Street. 1t accuses
them OF insincerity, or worse, and
claims that when on that thoroughfare
they talk Free Coinage with their
tongues in their cheeks. Itproposes, If
they do not get out of the way of the
Street in the Senate, to expose their
goldbug doings to their constituents.
to their everlasting undoing. These
men are accused of betraying their
constituents and flying in the face of
public opinion in their respective
States. Among the fated twenty-four
we find the names of George Graham
Vest and Francis Marion Cockrell.
The Sun contends they are not in acl
cord with their constituents, because
the boards of trade of St. Louis, Kan
sas City, St. 10, and other cities of
Missouri, have declared against the
position they have assumed upon f.
nance. Possibly the Sun is laboring
under the hallucination that no one is
allowed to vote in the West except
members of boards of trade, and 9TH
er organizations of a similar character;
that the great mass of yokels and me-
chauics have no more to do with poll
tics than the weather-cock on the
church steeple. In the State OF New
York the artlzan and agriculturist may
be allowed to vote only on condition
