The blowing of wet land does a mis-
chief which remains for years. The
owner of stiff clay farm who turned
over field in too much of hurry ter
years ago has not since been able to gel
the soil into the same condition it was
in before. When a plowshare becomes
smeared with mud as it turns the
furrow slice, and the earth is plastered,
as mortar is when trowel is drawn
over O., it, clay land becomes spoiled
for many years. Even light land is
hurt by it, but the clay is toughened
and dries in hard clods which are very
difficult to reduce to fine condition
again. One may easily make haste III, toc
fast in plowing in the spring. me
test of fitness in the soil is that d spade
may be put into it and withdraw with;
out any smearing. and the spadeful
of soil when dropped will fall into
q loose mass.

Popcorn For Cattle.

A stockman and farmer contributor
is inclined to favor popcorn as fodder
for cattle. He believes that for this
purpose it would be more profitable
than field corn. 1t may be planted
much closer, and produces several ears
to the stalk and large per cent OF
husk and blade, and when fed to cattle
will be eaten with little waste, and the
corn will be raised and remasticated in
chewing the cub. 'I'know some cat
tlemen in Kansas" says this writer,
"who grow it, and think it furnishes
more and better feed than field corn.
It would not be profitable for hog feed
as it is very slow work to husk it, and
if fed who to them most of the husks
and blades would be wasted. l
think popcorn will yield nearly as
much grain to the acre as field corn,
and consequently &C more valuable fodder,
as the stalks are small and would near
ly all be eaten.'

DehOrning Milk Cows.

Dehorning milk cows is becoming
general practice. The results are salts
factory, but the operation is cruel. Be
sides being dreadfully painful, it must
be a severe shock to the cows system
However, in the opinion ofmost dairy
men, the end justifies the means. AS
many of our dairymen raise their COWS
we suggest to them the experiment OF
preventing horns from coming as being
preferable to cutting them off after the
cow is grown. We note in a bulletin
from the Georgia Experiment Station
the following:
"The germ of embryo horn of a very
young calf may he easily and quickly
DESTROYED. Take stick of caustic pot
ash, dip the ends in water, rub 1T for
about ten seconds Oh the spot where
one horn is to appear. Then wet 1t
again and apply in the same manner
to the other horn. Repeat the appli'
cation Immediately. Nothing more
will be necessary. The calf will never
have u horn if the operation be
performed before it is three days DID,"

LIFE INSURANCE.
Some Big Figures In the Biggest Busi.
ness On Earth.


The fifty-third annual statement of
The Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York has just been issued show
ing the operations of the Company for
the wear of 1895. The figures speak
for themselves and are so extraordinary
in their magnitude as to make 1t
worthy of the special consideration not
only of those who are insured in this
great Company but of those who are
interested in the progress of this, the
greatest of our American financial
Institutions. The Company paid to
the holders of its policies on account
of claims by death Sl2, 239, lG4, 4,34, and
for endowments, annuties, dividends

of all claims, from SlS2, 100, ,45G. IA to
S194, ,347, 1879, an addition for the
year of So, 237 ,702.45
The results for 1895 show increased
security and permanent benefits to ev-
cry member of this Great Company.
These stupendous figures show the
hold that the Company has upon the
confidence of the insuring public and
show that it seeks, in constantly in
creasing ratio, the benefits to be deriv-
ed from the protection offered by this
the greatest Of all the companies.
The report for 1905 demonstrates the
increasing popularity of the Mutual
Life and the extension of the benefits
conferred upon those fortunate enough
to hold its policies. The assests now
amount in the aggregate to S22l 3d.
72l.3S, and the liabilities to Sl94 ,347, :

NEW REMEDIES
And the Remedies of By-Gone Days

And the Remedies of By-Gone Days.
A new remedy for disease appears
almost every day. The medical journals
are full of the names of remedies never
heard OF before. These remedies are
multiplying so rapidly that even we'll
read physician can scarcely remember the
names Of them, much less make use of
them. The discovery of new remedies
has always been going on more or less,
but never SO rapidly as today. But, in
spite of the great multitude of medicines
which are invented, only very, very few
of them stand the Test of time.
Among the few remedies which have
proved themselves of stable value is
Pe-ru-na. Pe-ru-na has been In use about
forty years. During this time many
thousand remedies have been invented and
forgotten. But with Pe-ru-na the case
has been different. From the time of It's
first discovery 1t has gradually grown in
favor and has become one of the standard
medicines of the world. At this season
of the year Po-ru-na is in great demand as
tonic for all diseases of the nervous VS.
tenn. Whatever may he the cause of the
depression, Pe-ru-na gives tone to the
nervous system and strengthens the oircu-
lation. The diseases peculiar to the
female sex are promptly and permanently
relieved by Pe-ru-na.
Dr. Hartman has recently written a
book on the diseases peculiar TO women,
which will be sent free to any address for
short time by The Pe-ru-na Drug Man
ufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio.

ROBBED FOR DEATH.
Merrymakers In White Are
Drowned at Cecil Pa.
HOUSES SWEPT AWAY BY A FLOOD.
The Recent Cloudburst Carried ~ Hotel
Into a Raging Creek-seven Out Of 10
Drowned-were Waiting to Go to a
Dance when the House Was Struck.

P1TTsBURG, July 29.-The cloudburst
and storm in this section caused more
loss of life than was at first supposed.
At Cecil, in Washington county, 13
people laughing aud singing in Samuel
McKin1ey's house, found themselves in
the twinkling Of an eye, in seething,
mad swirl of water. Seven of the
merrymakers were drowned.
The dead are
Mrs. Grace Mckinney, aged 80.
Miss Maggie Mckinney, aged 30.
James Mckinney, aged 8.
F. Clyde Beatty, aged 20.
j. o. Higgins, aged 80.
Miss Jennie Holmes, aged 49,
Vincent Wilkinson of Oil City, aged
90.
In the Mckinney household on the
fateful night, 13 merry people were con-
gregated. The girls were dressed in
flowing white robes. They were going
to dance at the French hall, but the
hour for starting had not yet come,
1t is said that the cloud burst some-
where about Vienna ana swept toward
Reissing and Cecil, the water came
down in torrents.
The country between Vienna and
Cecil is sloping, and McKinney's eight.
roomed hotel stood just in that position
where it would catch the full force of
the storm.
The race of the flour mill nearby
broke and struck the house with q fear

lifted the house from its foundations,
twisted it aronnd and sent it into the
middle of the furious creek.

passed the railroad station and struck
the bridge, 200 yards away. One loud
crack and the lower floor was turned
into a raft, on which the people stood I;
the lights on the table still burned
Before the bridge was passed two of
the former happy throng, Maggie Nc
Kinney and Jennie Holmes, had been
hurled into the angry current to death.
1t was just before the Standard block
was reached that Mrs. Mckinney and
her boy were washed from the raft and
drowned before the eyes of those yet
awaiting death or rescue.
Just previous to this moment Clyde
Beatty clasped Rachel Mckinney and
Jennie Holmes in his arms and said
Girls, will save you or die with you, I"
And he did die, but Rachel was saved,
though Jennie was drowned.
1t was at Gladdon that Samuel Nc
Kinney, Rachel Mckinney and J. G.
Higgins were tumbled into the stream.
The last drifted into deep water and
was drowned. Rachel Mckinney, how
ever, felt her feet touching the ground,
and as the lightning flashed, saw some
weeds, grasped them and held on with
superhuman grip until rescued. Her
father was but little distance!off. He
had, too, found ground in the shallow
water to stand upon, and, like his
daughter, had discovered the saving
weed and clutched them until rescued.
Rescuers fished out James Pierce,
Charles Reddick, Lizzie Holmes, who
was clinging to tree; Sam and Robert
Mckinney.
Jim Wilkinson escaped from the
house. AS soon as he reached terra
firma he ran toward the bridge, and
while descending some steps near the
bridge was caught by passing wave
and swiftly carried to his death.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 29.-Mr. Bryan
has received number Of kilograms
containing suggestions in regard 10 the
action of the Populist convention and
to all of them he responded, in effect,
that he will act with deliberation, and
that nothing will be done which can be
justly criticised by any of the elements
who are sincerely interested in the sue.

In h. replies to these expressions he
earnestly advises all friends of the
cause in all parties to refrain from criti.

they differ, otherwise occupy common
ground in desiring the immediate
restoration of free coinage of silver.
Mr.. Bryan expresses the utmost conf
dence that wise and gratifying solu-
ton of the perplexing conditions will
be presented and adopted in due and
good time, and that the solution will
be both honorable and satisfactory to
all parties. Further than this Mr..
Bryan decliRed to talk in relation to

j. W. Blake, formerly chairman of

way out of the present entangling alli-
ance of the Democrats and Populists in
she arrangement of the electoral ticket

be necessary. His plan is the same as
that suggested by Senator Jones, chair

must be left to the good sense of the
Populists and Democrats of the respect.

"The Populists have nominated Mr..
Watson" he said, "merely to preserve
the identity Of the party. Populists
will not care, in most of the states, if
all of the electors put upon the joint
ticket are Sewall men. This is espe-
cially true in the northern states, and
in the southern states it will make lit
tie difference. as far as Bryan is con-
cerned. Even if the vote on Bryan and
Sewall is divided in the electoral col.
leRe, there is not any doubt that the
Sewal votes will be largely in the ma
jority. The tickets will be put up in
the respective states with the agree.
ment that if the Democratic vice presi-
dental candidate has more supporters
in the electoral college than the Popu.
list candidate, the votes for the latter
shall be cast for the former, and vice

Mr.. Blake says that there will be no
perplexities arising from the uomina-
ton of Watson, and that Mr. Bryan
will probably never have to either ac.
cept or reject the Populist nomination,
as it is the plan of the Populist to elect
Mr.. Sewall.
