An AFFLICTED Mother.


FROM the Times, PdD Pau, H.
A resident OF this town who has lost two
children during the past six years, by vio-
lent deaths has been utterly prostrated by
the shock, and seriously sick as result OF
it. One child (aged 81 was killed by a cy-
clone in go while at school; another, three
years later was run over bya Burlington R.
r. train. That griefs and misfortunes may
so prey on the mind as to lead to serious
physical disorders has been well demon
strated in this case. As result of them,
her health was shattered and she has been
constant sufferer since 1890. Her princi-
pal trouble has been neuralgia of the stom-
ach which was very painful, and exhibited
all the symptoms of ordinary neuralgia,
nervousness and indigestion. Physicians
did her no good whatever. She was dis
couraged and abandoned all hope of get
ting well. Finally, however, certain well
known pill was recommended CDR. Will

Where heavy winds prevail and the
ground is not covered with snow the
mulching material on the strawberry
bed is very apt to be blown off, OF be-
come displaced. 1t is, therefore,
quite important to examine the beds
from time to time and replace the COW
ering on the bare plants. 1t costs
nothing and is time well spent. Bro
ken and interrupted rows in the
strawberry bed are discouraging
sight at picking time.

Farm and Garden Notes.

IF you wish winter dairy next year
from now on is the time to breed your
COWS.
1t requires fully as much skill to
manipulate milk properly in winter as
in summer.
Do not let your hogs bed in old
filthy sheds, nor about straw, dirt or
manure piles.
Profit in winter dairying depends
very largely upon the kind Of cows
one has to work with.

The cotton seed industry of the South
amounts to 1000, 900 tons annually,
valued at $113, 100000. In 1867 there
were only four mills in operation; in
1897 there were over 800, with more
than $50, 900, 900 invested.
About 10000 bales of cotton are
booked for shipment to Japan this win
ter from the single port of Seattle.
This is said to be fifty per cent. mare
in value than the value of all Amari-
can exports to Japan during the sea-
son of 1S94-95.
Lundy Island, in the British Chan
mel, has been provided with two new
and powerful lights, one at either end
of the island. The families of the

live at the lighthouses, but will be
transferred to the mainland.
A German firm, it is reported, has
placed upon the market samples of
pure ingotin, Ederived from coal-tar,
which promises to supplant the vege-
table indigo, as other dyes have been
supplanted by the same source. Vege-

Some time ago attention was called
to the fact that the Western Union
Telegraph Company was using copper
wire exclusively on new construction

The company has recently completed

copper wire for telegraphy in the world.
This wire is strung between San Fran

The great vitality Of dragon flies is
shown bySMcLachland, kwho, having
struck at a large Aeschna at rest on q

q considerable distance. Upon pick
ing up the head he noticed that tho
insect had been eating fly at the
time. 1.-THE manibles continued

Professor Wollny, of Munich, Ger
many, has conducted some expert
ments to ascertain what was the in
fuence earth worms had on vegeta-
ton. He found that their presence
was extremely favorable, the produce
of the several plants below being in
creased as follows: Pease gave twen-
ty-tive per cent. more fruit, thirty-fve
per cent. more stalks, etc. beans gave
sixtynine per cent. more pease in the
pod and forty-seven per cent. more
stalks, etc; while potatoes yielded
136 per cent. more. This favorable
effect, says Professor Wollny, is prob
ably due to the ventilation of the earth
by the holes dug by the worms.

The Farmers Home Garden.

sfDoes it pay for farmer to take
the time to make a vegetable garden
and home orchard and care for the
same in proper manner?"
70 above query we would positively,
emphatically and unquivocally answer
-yesl yesll yes!l
We have been engaged in farming
for upward of thirty years During
this time We have succeeded in raising
a family of ten children that for physi-
cal ability, robust health and rugged
constitutions cannot be excelled any
where within the bounds of Uncle
SANS vast domain.
We are aware that readers of this
article may imagine that this is merely
the opinion of a fond and doting par
ent, and that-of course--it should be
"taken with a pinch OF SALT" and all
due allowance be madei therefor; but
let that be as it may. we have been re-
peatedly asked by friends, neighbors
and acquaintances how it was that we
had such a robust and healthy family.
Our answers differed somewhat with
the occasion. Sometimes We would
tell them that it was in the "breed,"
naturally improved stock" you
know. At another time it would be
owing to their being ''toughened," to-
gether with careful avoidance of any
thing and everything bearing even the
slightestresemblance to ''pampering.
Again it was owing to plain, simple,
wholesome; economical and exception
ally healthy diet of fruits and vege-
tables, raised right-at-home, on-the-
farm, where they were furnished in
variety and in the greatest profusion
the year around; always fresh, ripened
on the vine or tree, right where they
grew, and without a grain of collie or
an ounce of cholera morbus in whole
years eating.
''Does it pay?" Why, OF course it
does. Is health worth anything?
Why, of course it is.
A simple diet of vegetables and
fruits in variety, together with the
other products of the farm, as milk
and butter, eggs and poultry, etc,
etc, to the end of long chapter, will
tend, to q greater extent than any
thing and everything else, toward the
maintenance of robust health that
could hardly be expected in towns
and cities where the freshest possible
products of the farm, garden and
orchard are stale, unwholesome and
comparatively unhealthy?
The essentials" of life are the pro-
duct of the field. Does it pay to raise
them at home where practicable? OF
course it does.
The "luxuries" of life are largely
the product of the garden and orchard.
Does it pay to raise them at home? 1t
undoubtedly does. 1t does not pay to
deprive ourselves and our families of
them when they are so easily and
cheaply obtained.
1t may not pay to plant them unless
your mind is fully made up to 'take
the necessary time and trouble to care
for them in proper manner" but
where this is done, there is not an
acre to be found on the farm that will
pay so great dividend, that will
yield so great a profit in actual dollars
and cents Though not a fraction of it
be sold); Nnd that will give as great
an amount Of satisfaction and unalloyed
enjoyment to the square inch as will
the vegetable garden, the orchard,
and the flower garden. Let us try to
excel IN all three.--J. II. Turner, in
Farm, Field and Fireside.

1t is said that the giant tortoise of
the Seychelles Islands is the longest
lived animal in the world. The known
age of one now living is 100 years, and
this dates from the time the creature
was full grown. How old it was at the
time of its capture no one is able to
conjecture. A fine specimen has been
presented to the Geological Society Of
London. 1t weighs about a quarter
of ton and is an exceedingly lively
