AGRICULTURAL ToRIcs.


The castor oil bean (ricinus) is one
of the best of ornamental leaved
plants which may be grown from seed
and bloom the first year. They grow
rapidly and make fine hedge or
screen if planted in open rich soil in q
dry situation. AS the young plants dc
not bear transplanting well the seed
should be planted directly where the
plant is to remain, in the open ground,
when the weather becomes warm. The
richer the soil the more rapid the
growth of the plant and the more
brilliant the color of foliage and
stalk. According to variety the plants
grow from six to eight feet high, and
have foliage of shades of green, red
and purple. Nicotina affinis is also
readily, grown from seed. The plant
grows to height of three or four
feet, its broad green Leaves and bios.
SONS of white being very attractive.
The soil should be rich and we'll
drained. A packet of seeds of each
variety, or rather class, costing ten
cents for the best variety, will furnish
a display equalllng more costly palms
and foliage plants.

Heredity in Stock Breeding.

The attention of the stock breeder
who is striving for improvement il
the character and quality of his stock
must be directed to the study of the
individual characteristics of his breed
ing animals, with view to ascertain
ing not only their merits and defects,
but the causes of such discernible in
dividual characteristics, whether they
are hereditary or acquired. Also he
must apply himself to the study of the
indications of invisible qualities, and
to testing for such characteristics to
learn if the invisible qualities are pres
ent as indicated or not In producing
high-class stock to be used for further
purposes of improvement attention of
the breeder must be directed to study
of ancestry to ascertain what latent
qualities his stock is likely to possess
that the undesirable latent qualities
may be overcome and the best may be
brought into activity and usefulness.
A study of the formation of any
breed brings us to the conclusion that
the value of the breed is due to selec-
ton, the breeding of blood lines and
feeding conditions. To maintain and
strengthen the present degree of ex-
cellence it is necessary to bring to
bear equal method and system. This
can only be accomplished by working
along with nature and building on
strong foundations. &C. Fl. Elmendorf,

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkhams address Is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfr from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that 1
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. was also troubled
with irregularity Of menses. 1 was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as 1
ever was. I have gained flesh and have
good color. am completely cured OF
irregu.aritv,"

If young pigs have plenty of exer.
else and the right kind of food there
is no danger of over-feeding. A small
quantity Of corn ground with wheat or
rye and middlings, and the whole
mixed with milk, is first-class food
for young pigs. The common field
varieties of peas are also an excellent
food for pigs, young or old. Sow at
the rate of two bushels per acre and
cover four inches deep. sowing after
the peas are planted three pecks of
oats per acre, well narrowed in, to
serve as support for the peas.
The food for pigs of all ages when
not being fatted should be that which
has bulk. Middlings, milk, ground
barley and swill for pigs, and for
shoats and breeding stock, fed in ad-
dition beets or other roots cooked and
mixed with cut clover hay. For
young pigs, ground oats with the hulls
sifted out is an excellent food. Have
part of the feeding pen so arranged
that portion of the grain food may
be scattered over it broadcast to give
the pigs exercises in feeding it. A
run of liberal dimensions should be
provided for young pigs if they are
kept in confinement, in order to get
the amount of growth from the feed
given to be profitable, otherwise lib
eral feeding will only result in an ex-
cess of fat before the formation of the
desired amount of bone and muscle.

Collie in Horses.


1t is stated on good authority that
teventy-fve per cent. of the horses
that die each year are victims of collie.
During the spring the trouble is fire.
auent among farm horses, although it

turn into the nervous collie so gener-
ally fatal unless prompt and intelli-
gent treatment is given. The stomach
of the horse is peculiarly susceptible
to the changes of food that are fire.
quently made in the spring, and that
invariably causes an attack of indi-
gestion more or less violent. Any
change in food should be brought
about gradually, and so also should
radical changes in the work required
of the animal. 1t stands to reason
that horse lightly fed for two or
three months of winter with but little
work to do is not in fit condition to
put into the field for ten hours work
at heavy plowing. Give horses whole
some food regularly and according to
the work done by them. Keep them
from exposure to draughts Of cold air,
especially when very warm; give only
pure water to drink, and they are
practically insured against collie.
Should the collie attack the horse,
the following treatment will give re.
lief in most cases. An injection of
clear water of the same temperature
of the stable should first be given,
followed by pill made of five drains
of powered Barbados aloes, one dram
mercurious chloride and enough lin
seed meal to make a stiff pill with the
addition of little water. Rub belly
and fianks with coarse cloth or sack
ing if the animal is chilled. After
this treatment the horse should not be
worked or violently exercised for at
least twenty-four hours. If the at
tack does not succumb to this treat
ment it is sufficiently severe and dan,
gerous to need the immediate services
of skilled veterinarian.

Encounter With II ogue Elephant.

Encounter With a Rogue Elephant.
The following from Outing is the
native tracker's version of the death
OF dangerous rogue elephant:
"The people saw us coming down,
and because we were alone and came
with haste they perceived that peril
was at hand. Therefore, men ran in
from their fields, and the inhabitants
gathered themselves together to offer
salutations. But Kummeens Sahib
listened not, MOI took notice of offer
ings. With voice like great wind
he ordered them to fly, which they did
with alacrity, many taking refuge in
a stone tower.
sat this time 1 observed that the
Lord Kummeens had become very
calm, and when people prayed for him
on the tower, and called down bless
ings upon his head, he commanded
them to be silent without vehemence,
for this was man indeed, one who
knew not fear, neither permitted in
reference. We stood in an open space
between the village shrine and their
gram deota, nor did it seem long be-
fore the elephant came. His pace was
swift after coming out from behind
the hills, because he expected to sur
prise this village; but, on ascending
the slope, and seeing nothing of what
he had been accustomed to behold
no terror stricken, helpless crowd
uttering shrieks and lamentations-I
think that this astonished him, for he
pulled up and advanced slowly. The
light of battle shone on my Lords
face, yet he moved not, standing with
his gun poised, and 1 beside him hold
ing the second one, useless if the first
had failed.
elephants do not see we'll, and
this, being confused, cast his eyes
about quickly, without at once per-
ceiving US. Soon, however, he looked
more attentively, and then change
came over him. His ears cooked, his
trunk stretched itself out, his body
swelled with rage. By your soul,
Sahib, it was frightful to see how he
from whom all had fed resented being
met. But Kummeens Behadur stirred
no more than the peaks of Kylas. He
waited while the elephant charged
screaming down, until his appraised
trunk dropped in anticipation of seiz-
ing us, Then, when the forehead lay
uncovered, he fred; and as this beast
fell dead both tusks were broken off,
