Many most estimable women, of character;
and force, who can lead great crusades and
revolutionize society, go all to pieces at a
clap of thunder, and good many men, too,
for that matter.
1t is not agreeable to be struck by light
ming. Nor is it at oil necessary. There is A
sure preventative-as sure as it is simple,
inexpensive and always accessable-a pair
of rubbers Ifa woman will simply put on
pair of rubbers when the lightning begins
to fash and the thunder to roar, and will
stand on the floor so that she touches noth-
ing else, she will be as safe as if she were
sealed in glass cage.

Last summer Honce W. Folger, of Cam.
bridgeport, Mass, was on q pilot boat in
Boston harbor, when thunder shower
came up. He was on deck wearing rubber
boots, but steadying himself with one hand
by a wire cable from the main topmast.
Lightning struck the topnast, shiveriug il
into splinters. Down the cable went the
current. Folger was Knocked unconscious.
When he recovered, he WAS full of aches and
pains. but he pulled through. If it had not
been for the rubber boots, the current would
have passed entirely through him. As it
was the current could not get through his
boots, so it passed down tho cable.
It might be well to add that pair of rub.
bers to be effective against lightning must
be sound and whole. Do not put on an old
pair with crack in the toe because electri-

A Straight Jud &C.

We were in error last week, says the
Griggs County Courier. in stating that
the cases of the county VS.. the Northern
Pacific Railway for taxes were continued.
That was the intention, and stipulation
had been filed in the case for that pur-
pose, looking toward compromise by the
county commissioners. Judge Giaspel
said that recent decision of the supreme
court covered all such cases. In similar
case in Foster county he had ruled that
the matter had passed out of the hands of
the commissioners, and should so rule in
this case. He said that the Northern
Pacific WAS able to pay its taxes, and he
saw no reason why it should not do so,
unless the county Gid not want them.
He ordered the cases for trial, and rem
dered a decision in favor Of the county in
accordance with the decision of the
supreme court. Tie action of the Judge
settles these cases, and will commend
itself to the taxpayers.

CORN FOR CHICKENS.
Poultry ThrIves Most Excellently
Upon 1t Until 1t Has Made Its
Full Growth.

Without doubt, the very best feed
for a flock of growing chickens is
corn, just whole corn fed to them in
unlimited quantities. If the chickens
have the range of the farm they will
not eat more corn than they need, and
the more they can be induced to eat
the faster they will grow. They get
enough grass, bugs, weed and grass
seeds when running about to balance
the corn ration, and it is one o. the
best feeds that can be given them.
The laying hens should not have so
much corn, so this advice should not
he taken without the hens can be kept
from eating with the growing chick
ems, for laying hen fed all the corn
she can eat will soon get too lazy to
forage much, and in the end will get
so fat that she will be inclined to take
a rest from laying and become an un-
profitable servant.
All the young poultry thrives on
corn until it has made its full growth.
There is nothing better for young
poultry than sweet corn from the time
II gets to be good roasting ears until
the winter sets in. While this is being
fed the fowls will make weight in quite
a surprising way, and they are very
fond of it. There is no need to prepare
II in any way. They will take care OF
1t if the ears are husked and thrown
to them. If with the sweet corn sup
ply of sunfowers is available the fowls
will not only grow but their plumage
will become glossy and their combs
red, and they will be pictures of health.
The man who raises poultry and fails
to have supply of sweet corn and
sunfower seeds for them is missing an
opportunity to provide the best feed
that can be grown on the farm

end make hole through which you
can put strip of leather, whereby to
attach piece of rope to the stick.
The rope should be about four inches
shorter than the twine. A quarter
inch rope is the best size. At the out.
er end of the rope fasten ring just
big enough to slip over the stick cas-
lily. In use proceed as follows: Take
the handle and ring in one hand, reach
around the shock, pass the ring into
the other hand, and then slip the butt
end of the handle into the ring. Now,
shove the ring along the handle down
to the leather, turn the handle out
away from the side of the shock, and
it will stay there while you deliber-
ately put the twine around and tie.
Throw the handle back, release the
ring, and go to the next shock" Mr..
Amstut2 believes that he is the orig
inator of this device, but he is willing
that others should use it without
charge.

LAMBS FOR MUTTON.
Something About the Breeds and How
to Obtain the Most satisfac-
tory Results.

Probably the fattest sent to mar
l1et are those obtained from cross of
Meriro and Southdown. They are
abou; as plump and heavy for their
size as any bred, although they are
not the largest, writes E. P. Smith in
the American Cultivator. They are
generally desired by good butchers,
and very often they win command
fancy prices. Their Southdown line
age will be apparent in their black
faces and legs, and most butchers be-
lieve yet, and with good reason, that
the "Southdown is the finest mutton
sheep in the world"
But the Merino contributes many
noteworthy qualities. The lambs get
their fatness and tenderness from the
Merino, and this greatly helps the
lambs in the markets. Altogether the
cross produces about us satisfactory
results for the general breeder of
lambs for mutton as any.
The lambs when two weeks old
should be taught to eat little dry
food, and this can best be given to
them with the hand. Sometimes a
tempting dish can be made for the
lambs-a mixture of clean oats, corn
and linseed in equal parts, ground up
finely and then salted and sweetened
with little sugar. The taste of the
latter tempts the lambs. The ewes
should also be fed freely and with good
nourishing food to keep up the flow OF
milk, for it is advisable for the lambs
to have plenty of the mothers milk
In short time the lambs will take
their dry feed from box or pan, and
then feeding them will be greatly sim
plified. Ordinarily it is not necessary
to get them to take dry food, but where
it is desirable to force their growth
and make them lay on fat rapidly, this
method will be found very satisfac
tory. The lambs that grow vigorous
ly from the first are the ones that pay
in the end, and it would not prove 6
bad plan to adopt this method, ever
though one has no idea of forcing thu
lambs for an early market.

take out the blood and let it stand

pounds of meat take ten pounds Of
salt, four pounds of Orleans sugar,
three-quarters ounce of saltpeter, two
ounces of soda and eight gallons Of

pour over the meat. Let it stay in
pickle at least six weeks. Keep the
meat well under pickle, but be careful
not to weight it too heavy. If the pickle
should not be enough to cover you
will have to make enough as proper

r. B. Amstutz, of Birmingham, o.,
gives the readers of the New York
Tribune the benefit of a device which
he has tried with gratifying results
in shocking corn. He says that one
difficulty that is experienced in tying
with twine is that the shock is apt
to be bound too loosely, and then it
will not stand well. He aims, there
fore, to provide a way for getting q
good squeeze on the bundle before
tying.

A woMAN's coNsTANcY.
Her Faith Held Fast to Her Soldier
Lover, and She Was
Rewarded.

II suppose said the genial and
sprightly old lady from Ohio, "that I
have to my credit one of the most
unique of war experiences. The man
who is now my husband was colonel of
an Iowa regiment, having gone from
the east to gain foothold in what
was then comparatively new state.
1t is matter of record that he COM
manded one of the finest bodies of
sharpshooters that ever did service,
and that the gallant Gen. Lyon, under
whom they first fought, paid them the
compliment of saying that he regarded
them as invincible against twice their
numbers. The colonel himself was
more than six feet and every man un-
der him met the requirements of Fred
erick the Great when he recruited his
famous grenadiers.
II was betrothed to the colonel, and,
though back in Ohio, followed every
movement of the regiment as closely
as if I were with it. One evening we re-
ceived the news of that terrific battle
at Pleasant Hill and two days later
came letter from the lieutenant
colonel telling me that the colonel
had been killed while making last
stand with revolver and sword against
overwhelming odds. There is consola-
ton in the thought that a man you
love has given his life for his country,
fighting to the death for vindication
of his principles, but even that balm
cannot assuage the sorrow of heart
that has lost what was dearer than
all else.
"And had to endure far more than
the loss Of promised husband who
was dearer to me than life itself
Within month there was woman
from Iowa at the home of the colonel's
parents claiming to have been his
promised bride and showing will in
which she was made heir to every
thing he possessed. For the property
cared nothing, but there was the
bitterness of death in the thought that
suspicion should be cast upon his 10y

the sincerity of my love. In my an

when Horses Have Heaveu.

There is no cure for heaves; it can
only be ameliorated or lessened in ex-
tent by feeding on nutritive material
in small bulk, and more frequent ra-
tions. All voluminous and coarse food
should be avoided, such as timothy,
millet and clover hay, and only the
best wild hay given in small quantities,
preferably finely cut, mixed with mill
feed or steamed food. Feed every
thing wet. Food and water should
be consumed at least an hour before
an animal is used for work. 1t is but

Flax with Other Grain.

Under some conditions it may be
advisable to grow flax with other
grain. Flax is very exhaustive crop,
but in this fact lies the advantage
when grain is sown on very rich land
in mixing some faxseed with it. If
the fax is not grown the grain will
grow too rank straw, while with the
fax to help exhaust the superhuous
fertility there is less danger of this,
There will be more of the grain
grown, while all of the faxseed that
is harvested will be so much clear
gain. Barley is one of the best grains
to grow with fax, and both are ready
to cut at the same time. But both
should be very lightly seeded if clo-
yer seed is sown the same spring, else
there will be poor catch of clover
