Utilizing Springs and Brooks.

fii cases where there are springs
and small brooks near a homestead,
advantage should always be taken of
them for watering stock, forming Ice
and fish ponds, and supplying cool
water for the milk and butter dairy.
Also for cooling and keeping fresh
meats, cooked vegetables, ETC., in
hot weather. Clear water, flowing In
q perennial brook or from never.
failing spring, is the cheapest water
supply known, and tho home that has
such an appendpge near by is worth
certainly q hundred dollars more than
like farm without it. 1t saves we'll

owner to have series of small ponds,
where he cau raise fish and save ice;
and there is no better location for d
few scuppernong and other grape.
vines for the family supply of grapes
from August to October, than the
sandy, mellow banks of such a stream.
Cool spring water, flowing through h a
latticsd or wire-netted dairyhouse, is
just the thing for keeping meats,
cooked provisions, butter or milk
sweet and nice in summer time.
The water of a spring may be con-
ductel, first, through series of
shallow basins or troughs for setting
milk and butter pans, vegetable dishes,
etc., so That the water would be con.
stuutly flowing around md from them
in the dairyhouse; thence into small
pond, where carp trout or pike could
be grown, and around the sides of
which grapevines might be set and
trained to trelis or lar; from thence
to another small lake for ducks and
geese; and perhaps, if descent and
space permitted, into third pond,
where osier willow, sweet and coopers'
flag and other desirable water-loying
and valuable plants might be grown.
Perhaps if there was much level
ground near the stream-soil tit for
garden crops or corn or any farm
crop, or for pecan or other nut trees
the little farm brook might be
tnrned and made to flow hitber and

never-failing supply of water to be
given to many things that, too often,
fail and languish on the upland for lack

Modelling That Means Money Making.

Many Of the art students who are
specializing In clay modelling pay mucn
attention to the commercial end OF the
work. Greek statues and Renaissance
friezes may be more inspiring form
of art and necessary for training and
cultivation, but model Of a pair OF
andIrons or candlesticks, section or q
mantel or any other bit Of house fur
nishing or finishing that will attract the
attention of O manufacturer IS more
profitable from O money viewpoint.
Such models usually are shown at the
public exhibitions of the art schools
and manufacturers on the lookout fol

pay we'll for anything that appeals to
their liking and that, in their Judgment
would sell well. Besides the money
that this transaction puts into the pock

Half a Mile of Babies.

"Baby boulevard Is the popular name
of the long stretch Of broad cement
walk which skirts the west edge of
Lincoln Park. from North avenue to
Center street, in Chicago. An obser-
want man, walking south, passed twen-
ty-slx baby buggies and met thirty-two;
In two buggies were bowling twins, A
Lincoln park policeman is authority for
the statement that there are more ba-
bies trundled over this walk than over
any other length Of sidewalk In the
CITY. He said in one day he checked
up 124 fond fathers, doting mothers,
nurse maids and small brothers and SIS
tiers showing baby buggies, go-carts'
wheeled chairs and perambulators over
the cement slabs. "And that was only
five hours during the whole day. That
was on Saturday. On Sundays they

AT Law Over q CaA

A curious suit to determine the own
ership Of a cat has just been ended at
Bluffton, Ind. Mrs. Mike Daily, Of
that place, was the owner Of a largo
Thomas which was regaded as great
family pct. Without cause, so Mrs.
Daily alleges, the cat strayed to the
house of Morris Sawyer, and took up
his quarters there, forsaking Mrs.
Daily. Demand was made on Mrs.
Sawyer for the surrender Of the cat,
and she peremptorily refused. Then re-
plevin proceedings were begun, and at
an expense Of $50 Mrs. Daily got a
writ, and a constable went after the
wayward Thomas and carried him back
to the Daily domicile In triumph. Mrs.
Sawyer threatens to carry the litiga-
ton to determine the ownership Of the
cat to the Wells Circuit Court.-Cin.

The Surgical Ant.

The native Brazilian, far removed
as he usually is from doctors and sur.
geons, depends upon little ant to
sew up his wounds when he is slashed
or scratched. This odd creature is
called the surgical ant, from the use
to which it is put.
The ant has two strong nippers on
his head. They are his weapons for
battle or forage.
When Brazilian has cut himself,
for example. he picks up an ant,
presses the nippers against the wound,
one on each side, and then gives. the
bug squeeze. The indignant insect
snaps his nippers together, piercing
the flesh and bringing the lacerated
parts close together. The Brazilian
at that moment gives the ants body
jerk and away it flies, leaving the
nippers embedded in the flesh. To
be sure that kills the ant, but he has
served his most useful purpose in life.
The operation is repeated until the
wound is sewed up neatly and thor
oughly. Louis Post-Dispatch.

whv Incubator Chicks Die.

At the. Rhode Island station careful
investigation has been made of the
csase of death Of young incubator
chickens The total number of dead
chickens examined during the spring
and summer of 1899 was S26. 1t was
alleged that about one.third of the
chicks had been more or less In
jured by uneven heat during incuba'
tion. Another common cause OF
trouble was in overcrowding OF
brooders resulting in death by suffo-
cation, trampling, etc.
tuberculosis was found to be very
prevalent and IL per cent of the
chickens were more or less affected.
For guarding against this disease, il
is recommended to give the interior
of the brooders all the sun and Dir
possible on pleasant days. Bowel
troubles were q common cause OF
death. Feeding should be as nearly
as the time of the attendant renders
profitable continuous operation, but
by no means continuous gorge
Sometimes too much animal iood' is
given, but in moderate quantities
animal food results in rapid growth.
Lack of animal food sometimes causes
diseases of the liver and gall bladder.

Keen MP the summer Milk.

A very large share of Vermont
farmers are dairymen. Every one of
them has baln more or less we'll
equipped for the winter feeding of his
stock. They all labor in summer,
sowing, cultivating and harvesting
crops for winter use. A large share
OF tnem carry. to all intents and pur.
poses, dry cows only in the winter,
working hard all summer simply to
keep the cows alive during the winter,
while they are bringing in little or no
income.
These same men, however, often
take no thought of means of summer
feeding of COWS. They depend solely
upon the pastures. 1t happens all too
frequently, however, that the pastures
dry up and tho cows SHRINK seriously
in their milk flow. 1t is difficult
thing to tide backward. A COW once
shrunk in milk seldom regains her
former yield, and then with difficulty.
1t seems the pnrt of wisdom for the
farmers to divert some of the energy
which they now devote to the growing
of food for the maintenance of dry
COWS to the growing of food for keep
ing up the milk flow during the sum-
mer. The larger use Of soiIing crops,
such as oats and peas, Hungarian,
rowen and the like, is we'll worth
while. Considerable amounts may be
grown without very great e1pendi-
ture of time or money, and they are
excellently we'll adapted to help out o
short or dry pasture.
There is, perhaps, nothing better
for this purpose than silage. 1t has
been very thoroughly demonstrated
that pound of digestible dry matter
can be placed in the cows manger by
way of the silo cheaper than in any
other manner. The silo capacity of o
dairy farm should be made large
enough, in my judgment. to enable
one to use silage all the time. The
silo intended for summer use, how
ever, should be deep and with q rela-
lively small surface area, to avoid
what otherwise might prove to be
large losses owing to fermentation.
The stave silo is now coming rapidly
into vogue, and is proving SO very
useful for most purposes, and is SO
readily put up and comparatively SO
inexpensive for its tonnage capacity,
that it is to be hoped that the number
of silos in Vermont will rapidly in
crease in the near future. Director

Station, in Field and Farm.

DEFECTIVE SIGHT.
Warning TO Those Who Need Glasses ano
Will Not Use Them.

The three defects of eyesight which
are most commonly encountered In
otherwise healthy persons, and which
! can be more or less perfectly over
come by means 6f GLASSES, are t1ear-
sightedhess, fur-sightedress and astig-
matism. These are all important for
besides the discomfort and annoyance
of imperfect sight, the involuntary eff
forts which the sufferer makes to see
better strain the eyes, and not only
injure them, but also give rise, through
reflex action, to headaches and vari-
Gus nervous disturbances.
Near-sightedness, short-slghtedness,
or myopia as It is variously called, Is
q condition of the eyeball-usually a
lengthening-in consequence Of which
the rays of light are brought to q
focus In front Of the retina, aud 30 the
object. is blurred.
This condition may exist from birth,
but ls usually the result of too much
and too early use Of the eyes, as IN
the case of students, engravers, wo-
men who do fine sewing, and so forth.
Thus we may say that putting children
to work at some of the Kindergarten
exercises, such as perforating and
drawing, is in q double sense q short
sighted procedure.
Many uear-slghted people refuse to
wear glasses, preferrlng to deprive
themselves Of sight for everything be-
yond the nose rather than to injure
their personal appearance, as they
think. This Is another short-slghted
policy, for besides losing much Of the
Joy Of existence. which comes from
seeing the beautiful things about and
above us, such persons are very liable
to suffer from inflammation of the
eyes, produced by constant strain.
A less common defect Is long or far
sightedness, or hypermetropla. This Is
the opposite of myopla, the eyeball
being fattened or shortened, and the
rays of light consequently not coming
to a focus by the time they reach the
retIna.
In this case, the eye often corrects
tie defect more or less successfully
by making the crystalline lens more
convex; but it does this at the expense
of the sufferers nervous force, and 80
we often find tired and congested eyes,
headaches, Indigestion, and even seri-
GUS nervous affections. The effort to
correct the vision is entirely involun-
tary, and can be overcome only by the
fitting of suitable convex glasses.
The third and most common defect
is astlgmatism. In this condition there
Is some irregularity of the surface OF
the eye or Of the lens, by means OF
which the image as 1t reaches the re-
tina is distorted Untreated astigma-
tism is a frequent cause of headache
and other nervous disturbances. The
only relief Is the wearing of glasses,
at least while reading, writing, or
whenever near objects are looked at

A Little Lapse.

Being a pretty bride, which creates
a correct impression that Detroit has
many pretty women, but few like
her, she liked to dress and see that the
gifts of nature did not lose through her
neglect to properly adorn them. OF
course they went to another city IN
celebration Of the nuptials, for the Gus
tom seems as exacting as the require
ments Of fashion.
Man like, he had some business to
attend to, and 1t was arranged just
when she should leave the hotel to meet
him, what street she should walk along,
for the distance was q short one, and
where they should join each other.
Speaking after the manner OF men,
she dressed to the limit, and it was a
charming figure that went tripping
from the ladies' entrance Of the hotel.
She could see that she was the magnet
for all eyes as she passed down the
crowded thoroughfare, but thought that
some looked at her In rather curious
way. But why not? She had on her
best, she locker her best, and she felt
her best, combination not to be beat
en-. Yet she rather wondered.
Here you are, my dear" was her
husbands greeting, "and on the tick
of the watch. What punctual little

prehensible look.
"What is 1t, FredT" she inquired ner-
vously.

swooned when she found that she had

the hotel and only had q white veil tied
over her brow.-Detroit Free Press.

Tho Destruction of Weeds.

There are two classes Of weeds
those that come from seeds and those
which are propagated principally by
means of their roots. Weeds which
spring up from seeds can be destroyed
by successfully bringing the seeds in
the soil to the surface, where they
germinate. The seeds of some weeds
have great vitality and remain in the
soil for years. Some are inclosed in
clods and retained for other seasons,
but when the clods are broken and the
weed seeds exposed to warmth near
the surface they are put out of exist
ence by the harrow as soon as they
germinate, for which reason 1t is inn
possible to clear piece of land from
leeds in season, unless every clod
is pulverized. TIE oft.repeated in
quiry, 'From whence come the
weeds?" may be answered, From
the clods." The weeds that spring
from roots are cut Up, checked and
prevented from growing by frequent
cultivation, because they cannot exist
for great length of time f not per-
mitted to grow. If no leaves are al
lowed on such plants they perish from
sufocation, because they breathe
through the agency of the leaves.
The advantages derived by the soil in
the work of weed destruction reduces
the cost Of the warfare on the weeds,
for every time the harrow OF cultivator
is used the manure is more intimately
mixed with the soil, more clods are
broken, a greater proportion of plant
food is offered to the roots, the loss
of moisture is lessened, and the CO.
pacity OF the plants of the crop to Sc
cure more feed is increased. The
cost of the destruction of weeds
should not be charged to the accounts
Of single year only, as thorough
work during season may obliterate
the weeds entirely or so reduce their
number as to make the cost of their
destruction during the succeeding
years but a trife.-Philadelphia
Record.

rAers ABOUT PsRspIRArloN
a Function Almost Peculiar to heu, Moakeys
- and Horses

Precipitation Is almost peculiar to
men, monkeys and horses. Horses
sweat all over the boy, and SO do
human beings, but monkeys, it is said.
sweat only on the hands, feet and face.
The use of perspiration is mainly to
cool the body by it's evaporation, al
( though 1t Is general believed that
waste materials are also e1creted
through the sweat glands when the ac-
ton Of the kidneys Is interfered with.
In animals that perspire but little, the
cooling of the body is effected BY
evaporation from the lungs, as we see
in the case Of painting dog.
The amount of perspiration varies
greatly, according to the temperature
Of the surrounding air, the condition Of
health, the degree Of exercise taken,
5 the amount ;of fluids imbibed, etc. The
average amount Of perspiration Is
thought to be about two pints day,
but this is ofscourse much increasea
in hot weather.
n damp heather evaporation from
the skin Is lessened, and SO one seems
to perspire more profusely than in dry
weather; but this is only apparent, for
really Transportation Is lessened when
the. atmosphere is charged with moist
uee.
i Hyperhidrosis Is. the medical term
used to denote an abnormal increase In
perspiration. This increase may be
general from the entire body, or con-
fined to some particular part, as the
face, the hands or the feet. Profuse
sweating is very common in cases of
debility and in excessively stout er-
sons. 1t occurs also In correction with
rheumatism and certain nervous dis
orders. Sudden emotion may cause in
Z creased perspiration.
The opposite condition, a great dim
mutton or absence of sweating (anhi-
drosis), is mush rarer, and occurs usu-
ally in connection with some disease
of the skin. Sometimes the character
OF the secretion is changed, and cases
of. Black, blue, gray, yellow or red
sweating have been described.
The treatment Of profuse perspira-
ton depends upon the cause. Tonics.
s cold or cool bathing, especially salt
bathing, temperate exercise, and rub
n 1g Of the skin are useful In cases
dependent upon general debility or
obesity. SPRAYING or sponging the body
with brandy and water, vinegar and
water, or solution of tannin or OF
boric acid Is useful.
Certain drugs which have tendency
to diminish perspiration are sometimes
employed to reduce the night sweats
of consumption, when these are SO e1-
cessive as to weaken the already de-
bilitated patient and to prevent much
needed sleep.-Youth's Companion.

Sewing Schools.

The industrial education that is
given in the churches and in the
schools is not appreciated as it ought
to be. It is pnrt of the routine at
school, and the children must worry
through it, but they join the classes
at the churches to see what they Gnu
get out of them. The classes taught
by wealthy girls are the best attended
and the most successful. The prestige
given by wealth, and the charm of
association with it, more than make
up to the children for the want Of
technical skill on the part of the teach.
ers. The children learn rules enough
at school, and it is delightful to have
a good time on Saturday morning and
rub the little hands on some ones silk

paid if they could understand the love
the children have for them apd how
much they talk about them through
the summer months. Sympathy and
kind words are treasured up in the
heart of the child. From "Our Breth.
