"When 1t Is known that COW has
eaten largely of meal or of grain Of
any kind" DR.. Smead says. zone of the
best remedies is a few quarts of water,
not, perhaps, over gallon at any one
time; in half an hour let her have an
other gallon, and continue every hour
until her thirst is quenched. The first
time the water Is given stir into 1t a
heaping teaspoonful Of ginger and a
tablespoon of good cider vinegar, and
add the ginger and vinegar every sec
ond time the COW is given drink. With
this treatment many a COW would be
well In forty-eight hours that would
have died had the water been entirely
withheld. If there is bloating, use
warm wateRinjections every hour, and
If 1t Is not reduced In six hours give a
pound of EPSON salts, and continue
the injections. also the ginger, until the
COW Is well on the way to recovery.
This give as simple. rational farm

A Homely Kennedy.

Several years ago Mrs. Carl Hoeffer,
OF near Baden, Mo-, discovered some
thing the matter with her eye. She
consulted an ocullst, who told her she
had a cataract. He removed 1t, and
the woman WAS relieved, but the
growth returned after short time.
She next went TO Philadelphia, where
another operation was performed. AT
ter having been there three months she
thought she WINS permanently cured.
but for the past few months the same
trouble began TO make its appearance,
and she had made up her mind to make
"A second trip east, when. the other day,
when she was In the kitchen working
around the stove. hot grease popped
up into her face, one drop striking In
her eye. The eye was badly burned,
and the woman at once bound 1t up
and kept applying tea leaves. When
she removed the bandage she found
that she could see as well ms ever, the
burning grease having removed the
cataract. An ocullst was consulted,
and he said he had often thought that
n cataract could be burned off, but THIS
is the first case he has ever heard 90f
where It was accidentally done.

February and March lambs are the

mus be ready. In order to secure a
good supply of milk the dam should
have liberal grain rations. 1t is very
important to push the growth of the
young lambs, and 1t will pay to feed
them with surplus cows milk as soon
as they can be taught to drink. Ground
oats, wheat, rye and bran make good
grain food. If laxative be needed
feed them a little lnseed meal. They
should be weaned gradually and fed

New Way of Securing leo.

Most people have well water near the
house and can easily have ice made
in the following manner according to
IL correspondent in American Agrlcul
tnrist: On very cold day pump up
some water and let it stand until 1t
commences TO freeze, then take a pail
full and wet the bottom and sides of
icehouse thoroughly. a coating of ice
will soon form. BY repeating this a
few times water tight tank will be
formed, into which water may be pour
ed, and 1t will freeze solid in a short
Willie. At night several barrels of wa
ter can be poured in and will be found
one solid block in the morning 1t will
be quite a surprise to see what large
quantity of ice can be made in this
way by person on Il very cold day.

The antiquity of the rose is so great
that all account of its origin has been

writings earlier than the reign Of Solo

had already long been known, for the
essence of roses was extensively used

reign of the luxurious and much mar

We believe in cutting crafts some
weeks before they are to be used, as
this secures them when they have not
filled with sap as they are in early
spring. The graft should be kept in
sand very slightly moistened. In this
the cut surface will not dry up, but
rather a sap will exude from it that
when set will help it to unite with the
stock In which 1t is placed. If the
crafts are cut early, and thus preserv-
ed in condition, 1t is rather better to de-
fer grating until the buds on the limbs
cut away to insert the graft are just
ready to burst Into leaf.-American

The usual plan is to heat the cider
over slow fire to 10 degrees and hold
1t at that temperature for twenty min
utes to kill the germs that would start
fermentation. 1t is then put hot into
bottles, jugs or clean kegs and corked
tight and the corks wired down. BE
careful not To let the cider boil, as 1t
will greatly injure the flavor.
Another recipe reads as follows:
Strain your cider into the barrel and
allow 1t TO stand until fermentation be
gins, and then draw it off, rinse the
barrel and strain the cider back again.
Now take three-fourths of an ounce
each of oil of sassafras and oil of win
tergreen. put 1t in pint of alcohol and
shake thoroughly and stir 1t we'll
through the cider. 1t is said the only
trouble in keeping this is that 1t Is too

Clover Rest in short Rotations.

Glover is at its best as a fertilizer
when 1t has produced its second crop.
This Is when it has grown two full
seasons. Ii kept beyond this time
either weeds or grasses come In, ac-
cording as the soil is best seeded with
these. Whoever keeps a field in clover
longer than two years lessons the crop
that can be grown after it, On the
other hand clover ley will rot down
the first season after it is plowed, so
that 1t may be sown with clover seed
the following spring. An old sod made
up from any of the grasses needs to be
cultivated two years before it is ready
to reseed. Hence the smaller amount
of fertility 1t furnishes is more thor
oughly exhausted by three crops on 1t
instead of two, as clover allows before
the land is again being reseeded.

LAWYERS LAST EFFORT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. T. 18sS.-L. P.
Boardman, attorney for Durrant, left his
hotel early this morning to make a last
desperate effort to secure a stay
of proceedings for the condemned
man.. His plan was to see the
Individual members of the Su-
preme Court in hope of securing from enc
of them his signature to an order Tor
writ of habeas corpus. Failing in this he
ask for a writ of habeas corpus or of pro-
hibition.
Justice Shiras refused the application
made to him by Mr.. Boardman at his res
idence before he went to the court room.
The petition was in the same form as the
application made yesterday to Justice
Brewer and Harlan. Justice Shiras did
not go into the reasons for his decision,
but Simply announced that he could not
entertain the application.
Mr.. Boardman did not see other mem
the convening of the court, but after his
failure with Justice Shiras he announced
his intention of making an effort in the
same direction before the full Supreme
Court.
When the Court assembled, he made a
last appeal to the bench to interfere in
Durrant's behalf. He read petition in
the murderer's behalf and the justices
tok it under consideration.
After 35 minutes consultation the judges
refused to interfere
In announcing the decision of the Court
the Chief Justice said simply: IN the
matter of the application for writ of
habeas corpus in the case of Theodore
Durrant the petition to file an application
for a writ is denied upon the unanimous
opinion of the Court"
