REMEDIES FOR MAN OR BEAsT.-A wo-
man who has kept cows for many
years, and buys and sells at pleasure,
the same as her husband, and has
studied them from calf-hood through
every stage of cow-hOod, says they
have diseases just like people, and that
ten chances to one the same remedies
which are good for people, II given IN
sufficient quantities, will relieve the calf
or cow when sick. When a COW Is
croupy she administers with splendid
results coal oil and lard in equal parts.
Many people use this remedy for chill
dren. It may be given in small doses
and applied freely to the chest and
throat. And have heard another wo-
man, who never leaves a sick animal
until it is we'll or dead, say she often had
cured a calf when suffering with COL
ic. after the men had given it up to die;
with camphor; would pour 1t in part OF
bucket of water and sweeten the
whole and the calf always seemed to
drink with a relish. I know lady
who lives in Chicago who raises few
chickens, and cures the little ones OF
her young broods by giving drop OF
wizard oil in a teaspoonful of water,
or a drop of carbolic acid and glycer-
inc or any other human remedy she
happens to have in the house. nave

cure. It is wiser to learn how to keep
farm animals in good health than to
know how to doctor them when sick.

MIND ADDED TO MUSCLE.

Commissioner Of Agriculture G. w.
Koiner, of Virginia, is heartily-tn SYM
pathy with the campaign made by the
Atlanta Journal for diversification In
farming methods in Georgia. In a let
ter to that paper he advocates fruit
raising and grass culture, and adds: .
Let the farmers Of Georgia raise
some stock. Begin in small way
with a few hogs, few sheep, a rev

make more money cultivated In corn
than any other crops. Another field
will do we'll for cotton. Another piece
of ground will make most money put IN

farmer must think over these points
and use his mind in farming just as
much as his muscles. Head farming
pays as we'll as hand farming. The
farmer who Is making money has quit
carrying all his eggs in one basket. In
brief, diversity all along the line OF
farming. Grow more stock, buy less
from the stores, pay more cash every

all means send the boys and girls to
school all winter. If the farmers chill

THERE WERE TEN.-Until recently
every person who crossed a certain
bridge over the Seine, in Paris, had to
pay small toll, and an old penSioner
was stationed at the entrance to the
bridge to collect the money. Constant
objections were raised on the toll, and
all possible tricks were resorted to in
order to avoid payment.
One afternoon a band Of ten stu
dents came up to the bridge; but be-
fore they started to go over a man
drew near and said:
You walk across, and I'll see what
I can do about getting you through
free"
The little company walked along to-
gether until they reached the pen
sioner's box, when the man went up
to the toll collector, and, taking out
a handful Of coins, began counting the
students in a somewhat loud tone Of
voice.
There are nine" he said, after
counting very deliberately.
II beg your pardon" replied the pen
sioner, there are TO-"
"No, no, my friend there are nine"
persisted the other.
Then he proceeded to count them
again, even more slowly than before.
By the time he had finished the stu
dents had reached the other end Of the
view. Then the man said to the col
lector:
Certainly, you are right. There are
ten. But I don't know them, so what
does it matter to me?"
He then laid down his coin and
sauntered across, calmly whistling the
"Marseillaise."

BRYAN AS A JoKER.-Colonel Babcock,
chairman of the Republican congress
ional committee, met William Jennings
Bryan in the elevator Of the Audito-
rum hotel the other day. Since then
the Democrats at the national head
quarters grin whenever Republican
apathy" Is mentioned.
1t seems that on the day Of the meet
ing with Mr.. Bryan, Colonel Babcock
had stretched himself out on lounge
in a room at the Republican national
headquarters, and the heat and the
quiet environment soothed him to sleep.
When he awoke he found that someone
had picked his pockets Of $40. Senator
]. X. Jones, at the Democratic head
quarters across the street, heard Of the
colonel's loss, and sent word to him
that he was welcome to sleep in the
Democratic headquarters and he would
be insured against losses by theft. Mr..
Bryan that afternoon met Colonel Bah
cock in the elevator. He teased the
chairman Of the congressional commit
tee a bit. He said:
Il am sorry you went to sleep in the
Republican headquarters, and am sor-
ry that while asleep they robbed you
Of $40. It reminds me of that man in
Nebraska who sat up with corpse,
went to sleep and was robbed. Is it a
parallel case, colonel ?"-Chicago Rec

SHE SOLD THE COLLIE PUP,

Stetson thinks he is good judge Of
a thoroughbred dog, and his friends,
all but his wife, encourage his conceit.
Every now and then Stetson brings a
new dog home; but some have died in
their puppyhood, others have been sold,
and still others have been lost or sto-
len or have strayed away. But Mrs.
Stetson has always had the bother Of
the dogs and has felt them tiresome
responsibility. A year ago when the
janitor left his job very suddenly, TAX
ing with him the greater portion Of the
Stetson silverware, together with Mr..
Stetson's thoroughbred bull pup, Mrs.
Stetson set her foot down. She had
warned her husband that no more dogs
went" to use Stetson's own express
sion, and Stetson finally settled down to
a dogless life, just to keep peace in the
family.
All went we'll until a month ago
when a friend offered to let Stetson
have a young collie for $40. The temp
tation was too great and Stetson sue
cumbed. In order to make Mrs. Stet-
son feel good about 1t Stetson said he
paid only S.. He also explained that at
the first opportunity to sell the dog at
a profit he would do so. Mrs. Stetson
did not object so seriously to the new
dog as Stetson had expected she would,
but said she hoped Stetson would soon
sell him..
Last week the postman noticed the
dog when he called to deliver the mail
and remarked that 1t was fine pup.
He told Mrs. Stetson he would like to
have the collie himself, and would be
willing to pay $40 for him. Mrs. Stet-
son explained that her husband had
wanted to sell the dog, but was out OF
town and would not return for a week.
The next day the postman repeated his
offer and Mrs. Stetson decided that she
would sell the pup, as the amount Of
fered was twice the amount Stetson
paid for it. Incidentally she determin-
ed that John would let her have the $5
profit for a dear little pair Of house
slippers that she had been wanting for
the last fortnight. She told the post
man that she would take the RESPONSE
bility of making the sale to him; but
when he came to take the dog away
he had decided that So was enough to
pay for the dog. By this time Mrs.
Stetson had set her heart on the slip
pers, so she decided to let the dog go
at So. She. thought her husband would
let her have the other 81 when he heard
how she had made So for him.
When Stetsen came home the other
day with an ofier Of SIS for the collie,
Mrs. Stetson greeted him with the an
nouncement of the sale. And Stetson
didn't dare to say a word against it.

How TO MAKE SAUERKRAUT.-Vice
Consul Murphy, at Madgeburg, Ger
many, communicates through the state
department, the German method OF
manufacturing sauerkraut, much Of
which is exported to this country, and
that it's excellence Is due largely to the
secret methods Of the manufacturers.
Consul Murphy does not consider,
however, that the so-called business
secrets employed amount to much
more than careful handling and atten-
ton to detail in the following recipe.
The process, he states, Is about as fol-
lows: -
Take a number of heads Of white
cabbage, as fresh as possible. and cut
them into fine, long shreds. Place In
layers in barrels, or kegs, strewing salt
over each layer, using one-half pound
of salt, for each 25 cabbages. Press
the mass down with clean feet, wooden
shoes or heavy stamper. Place COW
er over the barrel and upon this lay a
heavy stone. This presses the sauer-
kraut more and more and conserves 1t
better The sauerkraut must then be
allowed to ferment for from three to
eight days, varying with the temper
ature of the room. The barrel should
then be tightly closed and kept in a
cool place, preferably a cellar.
Fancy grades of sauerkraut are pro-
duced by pouring white wine into
the barrels as they are packed. APP
Piles chopped very fine are also some
times packed with the cabbages. At
ter the barrel is closed the sauerkraut
Will be ready for use in about week.
When some Is extracted, the cover and
stone should be replaced. In prepar-
ing and keeping sauerkraut, sunshine
and extremes Of heat and cold are to
be avoided

WITH FIRE AND SWORD. =
How the Russians Are Operating In the CHI
nese Territory.

Concerning the massacre Of 5000
Chinese at Blagovestchensk, by Rus
slams, the New York Evening Post con-
tains an account from G. Frederick
Wright, one of the faculty Of Oberlin,
o., college, who was enormously re-
ported killed at Pekin. The letter is
written from Stretnensk, Siberia, under
date Of August 6.
AS soon as the Russian troops went
down the river on transports, July IA,
the fort at Aygun begun without warn
ing to fire upon passing steamboats,,
and on the 18th fire was opened upon
Blagovestchensk and some Russian VIII
layers were burned opposite the fort.
The actual injury inflicted by the Chi
nese was slight; but the terror caused
by it was indescribable and 1t drove
the cossacks into q frenzy Of rage. The
peaceable Chinese to the number Of
5000 or 1000 in the city, were expelled
In great haste, and being forced upon
RATS entirely inadequate, were most Of
them drowned in attempting to cross
the river. The stream was fairly black
with their bodies. Three days after
hundreds of corpses were counted In
the water.
Mr.. Wright says: I'm our ride
through the country to reach the city
on Thursday, the 18th. we saw as many
as 30 villages and hamlets of the Chi
nese in flames. One Of them was
city of 5000 or 10000 inhabitants. We
estimated that we saw the dwellings of
q, 900 peaceable Chinese in flames that
awful day, while parties Of cossacks
were securing the fields to find Chinese
and shooting them down at sight.
What became of the women and child
rem no one knew; there was apparently
no way for them to escape to place of
safety. On our way up the river for
hamlet was a charred mass of ruins.
The large village Of Motcha was still
smoking and we were told that 1000
Chinese had been killed. The whole
sale destruction both Of property and
Of life, was thought to be military ne
cessity. Peace between the Russians
and Chinese has come to an end.
Years cannot wipe out the enmity en-
gendered."
