WASH YOUR EYEGLASSES.

Spectacles and eyeglasses are az much
benefited by bath now and then as Deo-
pie are, says a well-knoWn optician "Tt
is strange how many people there are who
think that their glasses only need an cc
casional wiping. Now, the fact is. glasses
require actual baths as frequently as does
the ordinary person. The process is as
simple as you want to make it. NV plan
however, is to take the glasses to a wash
bowl and give them a good soaking. in
warm water. Then apply soap freely and
rub 1t off by the use of a soft tooth or nail
brush. After that give them a polish
with any Of the usual tooth powders. and
then clean them with tissue paper. which
is much better for the purpose than
chamot5 skin or anything else that T
know of" says the New Orleans Plea
yune. 1.-The ordinary cleaning is all right
IS far as it goes, but 1t is not sufficient.
Many persons have done great injury to
their eyes by neglecting to properly clean
their glasses. L have had number of pa-
tients come to me with complaints about
what they called gradual diminution of
their sight. An examination revealed the
fact that it was wonderful thai they
could see at all, for their glasses were
blurred over and had been fearfulIv

THE CORK TREE.

Some children fancy that corks grow
out of bottles, instead Of being made Of
the bark of a tree, which grows in Italy,
Spain and other Southern countries The
cork tree is an evergreen about the size
of our apple tree. The bark is stripped in
order to obtain the cork, which is soaked
and then dried. The moment the bark
Is peeled off the tree begins to grow an
other cork skin, and each new one is bet
ter than the last, so the older the better
the cork. The trees are stripped about
every eight years, and so strong does it
make them that they often live to the age
OF 2OO years. Beside it's chief use as stop
pers Tor bottles, cork is made into buoys,
In making Hfe-preservers to save people
from drowning, sOles of boots and slip
pers, fancy lock work, largely for life
boats, and sometimes for artificial limbs.
After the bark is stripped off it is trim
mel and dried and fiattened out. Then it
Is packed and shipped to all parts of the
world.

FOOLISH ADVICE.

Keep more stock" says the type
writer farmer. But the farm has it's
limitations In this direction, bounded by
the number that can be summered, and
cared for decently in winter. 1t takes
about twice the area of land to sustain
an animal in summer that is required
to furnish winter food. The element
of labor is the ever-present specter which
confronts the farmer in his operations.
1t is only as he is able to lead and SUI
perintend his work that success comes
from effort. The hireling is usually a
hireling. That there is numerous exam
pies Of faithful hired service is frankly
conceded. But as our longtime friend.
Theordore- Louis, says in recent num-
Der of F. S. & H. in regard to caring
for hogs: The interest and incentive
of ownership seems to be necessary to
the making of a successful swine grow
err so the logic of experience shows
the same to be true in every branch Of
farming, or any other branch of the
worlds work, for that matter.

WYOMING GROWERS HAPPY.
No Feeding Done Up to Date, and
Plenty OF Hay Ready for Use
When Needed. ,sEsv g

Plenty OF Hay Ready for Use
When Needed. ,sS.v
From wyoming has been received the
most cheering news. Live stock never
looked better than at present, and never
before in the history of the industry have
the StCckmen of that state been so well
prepared for winter. The winter of 1850
was not without good results, for the
fierce storms, resulting. in the loss of
many cattle, sheep and horses, taught
the stockmen lesson which will not be
forgotten for many years TO come.
During the past summer, and since
carly spring, for that matter, owners of
cattle and sheep in particular have been
busy building barns, sheds and corrals
large enough 20 house their herds during
stormy weather in the winters to come
The past season also witnessed great ac-
ttvity in the hay fields, and where there
were no meadows to furnish their quota
of natural hay, ground was broken, al
falfa seed sown and irrigation bitches
constructed to keep the grain well sup
piled with water. In most sections of the
state this irrigating work was hardly
necessary, as copious showers fell
throughout the entire season, furnishing
an abundance of water for all purposes.
Many Of the stoCkmen cut and stacked
enough hay to last two or three winters,
amount
feed during at least three months of the
winter.
From information gathered from every
section of the state it is safe to predict
that stock losses in Wyoming this winter
will amount to less than 2 per cent, which
is about the percentage of loss each win
ter from natural causes. Prominent stock
men from various parts of Wyoming
have hecn interviewed the past week and
all unite in expressing the opinion that,
Let the winter be as severe as any in
the history of the state and the stock Will
not suffer any to speak IF during the
coming winter" Continuing thsy said:
I'VE have not commenced to feed hay
yet, and stock is looking fine There is
lots Of talk about the ravages of wolves
upon the herds and that the pests are
increasing in numbers, but, these stories
are, for the most part, untrue. The fact
of the matter IS, wolves are decreasing
In numbers annually. but are becoming
more ferocious This is caused by the
war which is being waged against the
animals. Being closely hunted, and with
jack rabbits their chief food, decreasing
in numbers rapidly, the wolves become
bold and attack cattle, horses and sheep.
If the present effective campaign is con-
tinued for a few years, however, the
Plains of the West will be freed from the
nests"

WHY EAT TOAST?

Invalids the world over are given their
bread in the form Of toast. The lay world
is generally quite ignorant of why this
IS done. 1t is because, explains a medi-
cal authority, that tcasting bread until
1t becomes brown largely converts the
starch into dextrine; and hence. SO far
as the brown portion is concerned, one
OF the processes of digestion is gone
through before the bread is taken into the
stomach 1t will be found that the thin
ner the shoes of bread and the more
Ineroughiy they are toasted, the easier
digestion will be, and when all nortiona
Of the slice of bread are thoroliarhII
toasted-not burned but still changed r.
a deep brown color-it will be found 70 h.
still more easily diigested than ordinary
toast.

What such a famine means is not I'M

s2uerkraut is the great popular dish of

to be specially adapted to cabbage grow

KEEP HENS EGGS CLEAN

The shell Of an egg is porous, and any
offensive matter on It quickly finds its
way, by odor at least, to the aIbumen
within, and soon affects it injuriously.
Care should be taken to allow no excre-
ment Of hens in nests where they Law
their eggs. Neither should hens be al
lowed to make rests in manure piles, as
they are quite apt to do. as the heating Of
manure will often start the germ if the
egg is left too long in the nest, and the
quickened germ will perish when removed
from the warmth that started it into life
We are always suspicious of discolored
eggs, which show that they have laid in
contact With the excreTnent of fowls
Such eggs are undesirable, even though
they show careful washing to remove the

THE LOUISIANA SUGAR CROP.

Louisiana Planter.
Our advices from the country this week
record the termination of the grinding
season on a number of plantations. and
the campaign of 1899 will go down into
history as one Of the shortest in the
annals of the Louisiana sugar industry.
The results. so far as extraction is con-
cerneo, seem to be generally good, but
the yield Of cane to the acre is somewhat
disappointing. Later news seems to in
dictate that the damage to the cane by the
cold snap of Nov. 8 was not such as to
seriously interfere with the seed cane
supply and plenty of cane fit for plant
ing Is being found even in those localities
where quite severe degree of cold was
experienced.
The freeze, and the warm weather which
mas followed it, have had a somewhat
detrimental effect on the saccharine con-
tents OF the cane, and the sweetness of
the juice has refrigerated instead of adj

SUGAR BETS IN GERMANY

There must be two sides to the beet
sugar industry, even, or, at least, to the
sugar beet industry. If it were not so,
or If the industry proved in practice to be
as rosy to farmers as 1t is painted 1t
would grow rapidly where it is once es-
tablished and found to be practicable. In
Germany, for instance, where soil, CHI
mate. cheap labor and other factors are
most favorable the industry has not only
reached its limit, but the acreage devoted
to it is actually decreasing-has decreas-
ed $4,000 acres III two years, according to
United States consul report. The acre
age in all Germany reached only little
over 100000, about the area Of 43 of our
townships, when it began to decrease, and
now it is reported that 1.-The German beet
sugar industry has come to standstill."

WASHINGTON, Dec 1O.-The house

financial debate on the currency bill I'm
der the terms Of the special order adopt
ed on Friday, the general debate will open
tomorrow, Immediately after the reading
OF the journal, and continue daily from
noon until p. m. till Friday On Satur-
day the bill will be read paragraph by para
graph for amendment under the five-min-
ute rule. The vote will not be taken
until the following Monday.
The debate will probably cover wide
range, including a general rehearsing
of the campaign issue of 1896, and there
may be some stormy incidents. The Re
publicans are arrayed solidly for the bill.
but many who have never before advocat-
ed the gold standard doubtless will have
to take the floor to explain their change
of position. On the Democratic side many
members are reported as favoring the
bill, but there has been no canvass made
as yet and it remains to be seen how
many of them will join the Republicans
upon this measure. Representative Over
street, of Indiana, who will have charge
of the bill on the floor, will make the
opening argument in it's support tomor-
