WHAT ABOUT YOUR BOY7

Have you got boyG Does he get
up early, milk COWS, feed the team,
cattle and pigs2 Does he take the
team and plow, or drag, or rake, or
NOW alI day9 What are you doing for
himG Do you give him anything at
all except his board and clothes, and a
little schooling in winters What in
ducement do you offer him to stay
with you and help you on the farms
inquiries J. 8. Triggs, OF Rockfort, Ie.
Suppose that instead of enforcing
your legal claim to his services until
he is of age, and thus disgusting him
with farm life, and paving the way to-
ward an unloved, neglected old age
for yours8lf, you do the fair thing by
this boys Give him something for his
own, les him De earning and saving a
little money. D1n't deny him the op
portunity of an education, for an igno
rant man is surely going to be placed
at fearful disadvantage in the coming
years; give him the best team and the
best tools to work with and encourage
him by kind appreciation. The reason
so many boys leave the farm disgussed
is because they are treated like little
slaves by selfish, avaricious parents;
you can treat a boy like horse, or an
OK, and the horse or OK will not run off
but the boye can and will, and we
don't blame them.

Mr.. T P Williams, of Wake county,
who lost a number OF COWS from
splenic fever in 1892, tells us of rem
edy which he is convinced by expert
ence since that time will effect cure
il used in the first stage of the disease.
IL is to drepch tie diseased cattle as
soon as the disease appears with q
pint Of inseed oil. Drench from a
long necked b9ttle from side OF mouth.
After the linseed oil has had effect
make a strong tea from the seed of
jimson weed, or the plant itself if the
seed cannot be obtained. This must
be given in same manner as the lin
seed oil. If constipation continues, or
makes it's appearance again, repeat the
dose. Since 1892 Mr.. Williams has
used this remedy on a number Of cat
Gle with great success. IE should not
be forgotten, however, that all depends
upon giving th S remedy at once, as
after the first stage is passed the dis
ease is practically incurable. Every
one understands, Of course, that the
infected cattle should he separated
from those.not infected, and success in
treating the disease is more probable
if those diseased are kept in a cool
place.

In experiments made by the Wiscon
sin Station with potatoes some in ter
esting facts have been brought to light
concerning the leaf burning which is
bothering some growers now. This go
called disease-tip burn-ls not, Rs fire.
q Iently suppose d, blight or sease
aV all, but is due to the action of the
sun under certain conditions Some
varieties Of pota joes at the Wisconsin
Station we're seriously sff cted withthis
trouble, while others under the same
conditions were entirely free from it
Rural New Yorker No 2 passed through
one Of the severest droughts ever ex-
perienCed at the station with scarcely
a trace of tip burn, while the foliage
of several other varieties were early
destroyed by il. Another year the
Rural New Yorker 8gain manifested
it's resistent power to the best and
yielded an excellent crop, while other
older varieties were nearly a total
failure. In order that there might be
no question as to the identity Of the
trouble IF 9cting these potatoes, som
Piles of the foliage we're sent to Prof.
Jones, of Vermont Station, who has
made a speciality of this and other
blight" diseases of potatoes. He pro-
nounced them effected with tip. burn
only.
The older varieties of potatoes ap-
pear most subject to this trouble,
which suggests that it is partially due
to the reduction of vigor that gener
orally occurs after long culture of any
variety, and which is tamiliarly termed
running out" Wisconsin and other
experiments show that lack of moist
ure in the soil generally aggravRtes the
effection, indicating that thorough cul-
tivation to conserve moisture should
be practiced.

The value OF rotation of crops in pre-
venting plant diseases has been strik,
ingly shown in some experiments re
Gently made with egg plants Ooe
plat OF ground had been grown with
this crop for three successive years
when The crop was compared with that
OF another plat on which egg plants
had not been previously grown. Rot
was prevalent on the old patch. There
were also five times as many sound
trulrs upon the new as upon the old
lard. The percentage of decayed fruits
was only 16 per cent on the new
land ageinst 81 per cent on the old.
This is doubtless an exceptional case,
but the lesson is plain.

Holton Frank breaches.

Sunday morning by people who were
anxious to hear HoltOn Frank, the
youngest son of the lamented Joseph
G. Frank. The young man is still in
his teens, but his sermons are deep in
thought and language. His talk Sum-
day morning showed him to be deeply
in earnest in his work, and all who
heard him predict brilliant future
for him. He said Sunday that when
he used to sit in the Lancaster church
pointing to certain pew that he
little thought he would SO soon be
called upon to fill its pulpit. He had
occupied that seat many time and
listened to his father. "TOday father
is Above listening to me, while 1 am
in his old place striving to prepare
myself and others to meet him up
there" We do not believe boy was
ever given a more cordial and hearty
reception any where than was he. His
visit called to the memory of many
the noble work done by his father in
this town. What a blessing iG would
be if he could only come back to earth

FAUST AGAIN.
That Grand Old Scriptural Lesson to

That Grand Old Scriptural Lesson to
Be at the Garrard Opera House.
No play ever in our city has met
with such universal approval as this
grand masterpiece of Goethe, the
German Shakespeare, and no portray
al of that weird Satanic MephistO so
indelibly stamped upon the minds of
the large audience who witnessed the
part taken by Mr., Porter j. White,
and his return to the city with show
double its former size, of unsurpass-
ing magnificence, with the grandest
electrical and mechanical effects ever
shown with "Faust" production in
this city. This the local management
personally guarantees. This is the
only Faust Company that absolutely
carries full choir for the cathedral
scene, the same being specially engag-
ed by Mr.. White from the Church of
the TRANSPORTATION st. Louis, Mo.
The Detroit Free Press of recent date
says that the beautiful rendition of
the Drinking Chorus in the grand op-
era, Faust" by Mr.. Whites manage
ment quartette, was the most i'm
presSive of anything ever heard of
that nature in Detroit, and was alone
well worth the price of admission.
Mr.. White is the only one playing this
v,lav ,,pdor hic oup mama Othor cnv,,
panies are out purporting to be this
and that, and only using the names Of
reputable stars to further their per-
sonal interests, caring little for the
daily sacrifices they are making of the
hard earned reputation of Mr.. MOrri-
son, who well deserves to rank at the
head of his class. Unlike these spuri-
Gus attractions above mentioned, Mr..
White personally superintends his
productions and appears at every per-
Torrance.
