cattle are not very subject, the most
common cause being exposure to cold
From the number of cows that are
troubled with this disease, infer that
the i1damed eyes are q symptom only

If there is nothing wrong with the

tincture of opium, a ounce; fluid ex.

Method Of Keeping Eggs.

QUESTION. you give me some re-
eeipt by which can keep eggs. from
March until the following winter?
ANswER.-There are a number of
methods that are recommended for
keeping eggs, but I doubt very much
whether any of them would preserve
the eggs in eatable condition for the
length OF time you desire. Iwould sug-
gest that you put up the eggs in Sep.
tember and October. when they are
usually very cheap, and you can then
keep then until Xmas, and sell at a good
profit. Either of the following meth.
DDS are said to be good, but in every
case the eggs must be perfectly fresh,
or they will certainly spoil. First

Grating Wax.

QUESTION. Please tell me how to
make grating wax. And give me a
good recipe for making whitewash that
will stick.
ANSWER. cheap and good grating
wax can be made by melting together
two parts Of beeswax, one part of tallow
and four parts of rosin. Stir until cool
enough to handle and then pull like mo.
lasses candy. After applying cover with
cloth or paper, to protect from a very
hot sun. If you want harder wax,
use five parts of resin instead Of four.
Another grating wax much used is
made by melting together three parts Of
rosin, three parts of beeswax aud two
parts of tallow.
To make good whitewash, take Is

Corn Raising La Georgia.

QUESTION. have made corn for 20
years on the prairie lands of Iowa,
using no fertilizers. and leaving two to
four stalks in the hill know nothing
about raising corn in Georgia and ] and
several Of my friends would like some
instructions from you Tell us also
what 'sside crops" to plant, both for
hay and for feeding green.
ANSWER - The climatic conditions
and the soil of Georgia are so entirely
different from what you have been &C.
customed to in Iowa. that you will have
to get rid of your fixed ideas about corn
raising and adopt those in vogue here,
or make failure. The soil of the Iowa
prairies is deep, full Of humus, and
well adapted to corn. and the season of
growth being short. nature beneficently
provides that all cereals rush rapidly to
maturity In this state we have thin
soil on our uplands, denuded of humus
to great extent by long cultivation in
cotton and long season of summer,
during which our corn crop leisurely
reaches maturity. On account of these
differences in soil and climate. you must
in Georgia make your rows wider. drop
the corn farther apart and leave fewer
stalks in the hill than you would in
Iowa On our river bottoms and in
the rich valleys Of the Cherokee coun-
try you can plant corn much closer and
make good crops, but it wont do ON our
ordinary uplands. In preparing the
land break up flush, or bed out in 5
foot rows, blowing as deep as possible,
but not bringing the subsoil to the sur
face. prefer bedding out the land in
8 foot rows, and planting in the water
furrow Except in very sandy soil). as
in that case you get your corn deeper in
the ground and can work it with more
ease afterwards. as well as putting it
where 1t can best Withstand drouth.

STILL at That, the Old Gentleman, Might
Have Meant 1t.
In the courtly old city of New Or
leans there lived, some time since, a
gentleman of considerable intellectual
attainment and reputation, who oceu-
pied a prominent position in one of
the city colleges. This gentleman was
possessed of a very sensitive nature,
and still greater absence of mind.
One day, as the professor was riding
down town in a street car, which at
that time was propelled by mule
power lady entered the car and
walked past the professor to take a
vacant seat just beyond him. As she did
so the mule quite unexpectedly turned
on additional power, giving the car
such a jerk that the lady, stumbling
over the professors feet, which were
none OF the smallest, hung trembling
IN the balance for an instant, and
then, IN an impetuous and uneonven-
tional manner, seated herself suuarelv
In the professors lap Just at that
moment the gentleman was deeply i'm
mersed in some abstruse meditation on
the physical properties of immaterial
bodies, Or something else of equal
weight, and paying no attention to his
surroundings, was taken completely
unawares by the lady's evolutions. The
lady, as she sat down, however, in
stinctivsly announced her involuntary
approach by hasty and Mortified eiae-
ulation. "oh, I beg your pardon, sir"
emphasizing the close Of her remark
by coming forcibly to rest in the gen
uemaA's lap.
gne learned gentleman, so unexpect-
eddy recalled to matters mundane,
felt that the hurriediy apology de-
manded some courteous response, but
the scientific scintillations Of his rudely
jostled brain disturbed the usual
mental connections, so, after a mo-
ment's hesitation, he seized the first
sentiment that came to hand, and
hastily exclaimed, Don't mention it,
madam; you are entirely welcome"
The remark was intended WELL but
seemed to be i'll chosen. The lady rose
with indignant haste. and blnshing
warmly, took vacant seat in the far
Part of the ear, while the professor,
after a momentary reflection, rose with
equal haste, and jumping off the car
without waiting for stop, walked the
rest Of the distance down town. Being
New Orleans, the other passengers
merely smiled pleasantly, while the
mule logged peacefully along
Harner.,s Razar.

The line Of survey between the Musu> !
piabe rancho aud the forest reservation, /
which has been so often disputed and so !
many times surveyed. has at last been
settled, and in a novel manner. A
huge sycamore tree has given witness,
and that in the form Of a record that is /
beyond dispute. The original survey
of the line in question was made al
most 80 years ago. On the location of
station % there has never been any dis
pute, but many claims were put
forth for the location Of section 30.
Later and private surveys claim that the
line must have gone almost straight
east from section 20, which is in Devil
canyon. Again, the claim has been
made by surveyors that the line of the
survey from station 20 to station 80
runs in & general southeasterly dircc-
ton. AS station 80 is over 8 mile east
of station 20, this made a discrepancy
of over 1900 feet at station 80.
Many private surveys have been made,
and the exact location Of the line has
been the subject of many thousands of
dollars worth of litigation. In the
Muscupiabe land cases this has been
enc of the subjects Of dispute. A short
time ago United States Surveyor C. a.
Perrine appeared in this city With a
force of men. and has been steadily
working on this survey ever since. The
original survey. made 80 years ago, was
the work of Surveyor John Hancock,
and the field notes made by him were
brought with Mr.. PerFlne. When the
dispted territory was passed there was
a memorandum stating that tree had
been blazed near station 30. Arriving
at a point where he thought the sta
ton should be located, Mr. Perrine
sighted over the surrounding country
for a tree which he thought might have
been growing at the time of the first
survey.
A tree was found that bore on its
trunk a rough and gnarled spot. The
surveyor decided that if this was the
tee inside of the trunk should be indi-
cations of the original marks, He took
an ak, cut above and below the rough
spot, remove a huge chip and there in
the heart of the tree were the original
marks made long ago. The characters
appeared inverted on the chip, and as
pain as the day when first made-'M-
SOB. t." signifying Museupiable sta
ton 80, blazed tree.
The chip was brought TO the city and
forwarded to the federal courts at Los
Angeles, where it will in the future be
used as evidence, clearly proving the
original line of survey. The marks on
the trunk of the tree had been over
grown with almost 80 years Of growth,
so that it was due to Mr.. PeTrine's per
severance and knowledge of botany
that the line was definitely settled be-
yondall dispute.-San BeTnardino tCaLl

inquest over the body of Andrew Rs-

while husking corn at his barn on
Thursday evening, has brought to light
one Of the most pFemeditated and cold.

after she heard the shot, has made a
confession of the crime, and told the

in killing RAIDER was to get the ST
