A stranger lost in n large city would
place far more dependence on the direc
lions given him by local resident than
the guidance OF another stranger like
himself. This Is n natural consc-
quence of experience: it's like ship in
n strange port--a trusty pilot familiar
with the harbor Is always called upon
to bring her safely to her 'moorings. So
It is with endorsement: We doubt the
sayings OF people living at distant
points because We can't Investigate, but
public expression OF local citizens can
be depended on. for It's, an easy matter
to prove It. Evidence like the follow

A MEDICAL STORY.
The Singular Revival of n afan Nbs

Perfectly Dead.

1t has been remarked by people who
nave noted the wonderful advance

not improved with equal rapidity. The
average medical man cannot effect
much where disease has once appeared.
lie may keep it in check to a certain
extent, he may prevent the patient from
being badly nursed. but at most he can
but assist nature to the best of his
power. BE opinion what it will and the
fense confidence has much to do with
the matter, the story told in Mem
cries of the Late Henry Reeve. c. b..
U. L. H.. is worth repeating. SAYS the
Kansas City Star.
Sir Matthew Tierney was summoned
to the duke of Newcastle. who was
dangerously i'll with typhus fever. 1t
was about the year 1928, and although
he Travelled as fast as post horses per-
united Iierrey was informed on az
rivirs that the duke had been dead for
two hours. AT the first glance at the
body. which was already laid out, he
thought life was extinct. At the sec.
ond he doubted. and at the end of the
third he cried out: Bring me up a
bucket of brandy" They tore the
clothes Off the body and swathed it
In sheet saturated with brandy, and
then resorted to friction with brandy.
In rather more than an hour symptoms
OF life began to manifest themselves,
and in two hours the duke was able to
swallow. Tie recovered and lived 25
years afterward. The story reads like
fiction, but doctors who are not afraid
to try experiments in desperate cases
frequently effect what may be termed
miracles

sheep Need Dry bedding.

Many people who keep sheep under
sheds on an earthen floor in cold wealth
er make the mistake of not providing
bedding enough, thinking that it will
interfere with properly packing the
manure which is srodden into a hard
mass by them. But little dry straw
should be scattered over the floor at
night, and 1t will be none the worse
il it is the refuse of what the sheep have
picked over during the day. Even the
fattening sheep will eat some straw
each day as a change of food, and it will
select the upper part of the stalk near
the head DAT straw is the best for
this purpose The sheep is very impa.
tient of wet, and besides, it is injurious
to the wool to have it soiled by manure.
If the ends of the wool are closed by
filth this stops its growth, just as IL
does on the tags, which, even after they
have been secured, are not worth as
much as clean wool from other parts of

THINGS TO CONSIDER.
What Farmers should Grow for Mar
ket 10 Obtain Satisfactory
PccuRiary Results.

This is a question that comes up for
consideration quite frequently in the
mind OF the progressive farmer. and
especially al this season of the year,
when all the busy work is done and we
begin 10 look about TO see what had best
be undertaken another year. In decid-
ing what crops to grow farmers do not
always consider the important item Of
cost in taking them 10 market, which
is governed 10 no small extent by the
weight of the crop, as well as the dis
tance from market. The greater the
distance products must be transport
ed and the poorer the roads that are
10 be travelled the greater the neces-
sity for producing stuff that is easily
marketed.
II one grows potatoes and sells them
at 40 cents bushel. the local price at
many towns this season, he must draw
l25 bushels to market to obtain $50.
These 1875 bushels will weigh nearly
four tons. How many times they have
TO be handled, sorted and lifted the
farmer that grows them alone can tell.
II he grows small fruits for the mar
ket and realizes ten cents quart for
his product he is getting about $500 a
bushel, or over $i00 ton for what he
sells. or about eight times as much as
the potatoes brought him. Then there
is eight times the cost in wear and tear
of wagon and horseflesh. as well as
muscular strength expended by the pro
Queer. We have all heard of the farm
er's wife who took a basket of eggs to
the store on her arm and obtained more
money for il than her husband did for
a two-horse load of hay. II it is not
true story, il illustrates the point.
Almost every day we see coming to
town small paper boxes not weighing
more than two or three pounds. which
contain flowers that are sold for quite
as much money as wagonload of some
kinds Of farm products will bring. If
farmers would pay little more atten-
ton TO the production of these items
which are in demand at high prices they
would make more money than they do.
1t would cost no more to arrange for
the production of flowers that would
sell for one dollar a pound than pigs
that bring three cents pound.-Farm-
prs' Guide.
