The engineer misunderstood the signals
and there was frightful railroad collis-
ion, with terrible loss of life. The whole
country was appalled, by that accident
There is doubtless far greater loss OF
life occurring every day, in various sec
tons of the country, for which the only
excuse is" the doctor didn't under
stand the symptoms. These cases are
not the subjects of special inquest or the
country would be aghast at the sacrifice
of life TO ignorance.
II has been the experience of DIR. R. v.
Pierce and his staff of assistant physi-
clans, that ninety eight out OF every
hundred persons submitting to their
treatment can be cured People given
up by the local physicians, weak, ema-
ciated, with stubborn coughs and bleed
ing lungs have been absolutely cured by
the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Sick people are invited to consult DR..
Pierce by letter free. All letters are
held as strictly private and treated as sa-
credly confidential. Answers are mailed
in plain envelopes without any printing

nationalities. The costumes were
good. Hop Sing, the Chinaman,
seemed to make the hit Of the
strangers.

Young Stock as Breeders.

1t is an accepted fact that the sue
cessful operation of any large ma
chine depends upon the proper mec-
hanism and adjustment of each part
making up the intricate whole. Like
an engine with a fly wheel that is
not perfectly balanced, so the animal
organization Of faulty proportions is
only able to perform its work to
moderate extent The defective parts
of such an animal, when taxed to its
full capacity, become a source of dan
ger that involves the entire system.
Offspring of very young animals with
an immature system, or one that is
imperfectly developed, inherit this
condition and are thus predisposed TO
the evils arising from the lack of
strength ana constitutional vigor.
Such effects are not always apparent
in single generation, but if the prac.
tice of breeding from immature ami
mails is continued for successive gem
erations, unfayorable results are liable
to be produced.

Rules for Spraying,

Farmers and others are continually
asking for information about spraying
fruit and vegetables for preventing
fungous diseases. To meet this grow
ing want repetition is necessary. The
following from Farm ami Ranch is
brief, simple and efficient, and will APP
ply to other than grapes.
Spray with Bordeaux mixture, 4
pounds copper sulphate (blue vitrioD,
for sale at any drug store, and four
pounds of quicklime-not air-slaked
but just as it comes from the lime
kiln, or as it is sometimes called stone
lime. This is to be slaked with water.
The copper is to be dissolved in few
gallons of hot water. Add water to the
slaked lime to thin to a thin milk of
lime. Strain and put the two in bar
rel and add water enough to make
forty gallons. Apply with Il sprayer
thoroughly drenching the vines and
foliage. Repeat every two weeNs or of
tener, if rain washes off the mixture.
Spray now.

Eccentricities and Other Ways of the
Average sitting Hen.

Average Sitting Hen.
The eccentricit.es and idiosyncrasies
of sitting hen are beyond all ac-
count. There is no power in the world
that can prevent some of them from
sitting half their lives They will sit
on good eggs. on corrupt eggs. on
china eggs, on paving stones, on door
knobs, on eggs which exist nowhere
but in the imagination of the too en-
thusiastic sitter. Ii thoroughly in the
notion TO sit in winter you could start
some hens on snowballs or icicles,
Turn them out OF one place they will
hustle off with reproachful cluck
and squat down in another.
AS is commonly known, the finest
attribute of the Plymouth Rock is her
brGodiRt IS. as it Were. Some other
htHS will never sit mt all. Take the
white Minolcas, for instance-those
hens with the great, handsome combs
which c4osely resemble ROSTERS and
are called Galatians by the Spaniar1ls.
They will lay more eggs in a year,
oAy bNhtl SOlI VI uGue
but they will not lay them in winter.
and don't think any one of them was
ever known to hatch a brood of chick
ems. The Minorcas will often begin to
SIT, but they seem to labor under the
strange hallucination that three DAYS
ought to be sufficient time in which to
hatch out an egg, and at the expira-
ton OF that period they will abandon
the attempt with Il remarkable flutter
and much hen-billingsgate. All efforts
on the poulterers' part to compel Min
orcas to sit end in humiliating failure.
You can fasten them down on the
nests with board placed above their
backs without accomplishing your
purpose, for the contrary creatures
will draw themselves up as high as
they can under the board and permit
the cold air to circulate between the
bodies and the nest and addle the
eggs. There never was a Christian pa
gan or Mugwump who could induce a
Minorca hen to sit. Prayer, invocation
and profanity, which accomplish most
things, are in vain when applied u
that perverted bird. But their are 9TH
er breeds of non-sitters which are not
only too numerous to enumerate, but
too despicable to mention. That is
why the affections of practical chick
en- raisers are so irrevocably bestowed
on the Plymouth Rock She may not
lay so many eggs in a year as Min.
orca, but she will lay when you want
her to lay, will perpetuate her breed,
and perform her services in an honest,
obliging and conscientious manner
which rejoiceth the heart.

The small lace handkerchief some.
times gives the owner much trouble.
This annoyance can be done away
with if one has in her gown a small
pocket on the left side of jacket or
waist. This can be made either trian.
gular, square or round in shape; the
small bit of lace is tucked into this
and the edges peep over the top of the
pocket.
Another pocket does away with the
rolling up of the handkerchief and
putting it up the sleeve The sleeve ut

COOKING Hoo Feed,

/ might be asked about cooking feed
for hogs. l hope l need only to say
that many other stations as well as
Kansas have tried, and tried faithful
ly, to prove that it pays to cook feed
for hogs, but it has not been done.
From my own observation it appears
to me that the reason some feeders
find that it pays to grind and cook
feed they take 4 great deal more pains
in feeding. They feed regularly and
keep the feeding places in good shape;
and the difference comes from this,
not from the grinding or cooking.-J.

A TURKEY QUEEN. :
She Makes Fine Income Raising the

SsNS~e
Il made $4,000 last year raising tur-

young woman who is known in Tex

Queen"

bier. You know, suppose, that turkey
hen almost invariably lays thirteen
eggs before she begins to set, and al
so that she lays two litters of eggs
year. Well, that first year of the
125 eggs set in the spring all Matched
excepting five. and raised III birds.
I'm the autumn when my hens laid
again, l followed my original plan of
buying extra eggs, but was neither so
successful in the Matching nor the
raising. bringing up only 70. Yet 20

that l sold those turkeys at an aver
age price of 81 cents, you will see that

However, when the second year

turkey eggs about the same time that

to the chicken hens to mother and
turned the turkey hens out into the
pasture to lay another litter of eggs.
This they will generally do in the
spring when not allowed to raise the

200 turkeys and in the autumn pa

SaItinu the Butter,

Beware Of salt that does not dis
solve Immediately. 1t is liable to re-
main undissolved and make the but
ter granny unless an extra amount of
water is left in the butter, which
would be a fraud. Be sure to use
enough salt TO saturate the water re-
naming in the butter, even if you
have to work out some of the brine. If
you do not, the butter will contain on
ly weak brine and will not keep
well. If just enough water and no
more is left in the butter to dissolve
the salt, so that no brine is worked
out, the weigh of the salt is added to
the unsalted butter. No brine salt
ing method, so-calied, or other meth
cd of sailing butter yet made public,
is equal 10 the method here described
or as economical. 1t is practical and
scientific brine-salting. Butter may be
taken out of the churn, and sailed in
a bowl or on table.

No Time to Pull Feathers,

One of the greatest mistakes made
by poultry keepers is feeding t cir
fowls heavily the first thing in the
morning. When they are filed up
there is no incentive to work, to hus-
tie about in quest of food, and they
gather in some sunny spot and idle
away the time picking themselves and
each other. They pull out a feather
occasionally and swallow it, and thas
acquire a habit that sticks to them
all their days. Feed fowls very lightly
in the morning, and if there is consid-
cradle waste food about the yards.
feed them nothing and they will hus-
tie about all day, and just before GO
ing TO roost should be given a full
feed. If a fowl goes to roost full of
food it will sleep all night and let the
feathers of its companions alone it
has to hustle for breakfast and din
ner, it has no time to pull feathers
during the day.

better results than the use of CONNER
cial fertilizers, but cottonseed meal
has been tried with very satisfactory

The method of cultivation is simple.
Rows five feet apart are raised like
sweet potato ridges, and the arti-
choke suckers are set out in hills four
feet apart in the row. Four small
suckers are planted in a square five
inches apart in each hill This num-
Der is used in order to obtain a sure
stand, the weakest one being removed
when it is assured that the other three
are thoroughly rooted. The ground $

down the weeds. The suckers may be
planted in the autumn or winter, from
October to December, or in spring. In
the latter case the crop will be ready
to harvest the following spring. not

Breaking the Surface Crust,

Very often a heavy dashing rain
falls upon the lately sown field be
fore the plants appear. The soil. if
of a clay formation, forms a hard
crust and often is so dense that the
plant canot break through. If it
does get up it is doubled and twisted
and not healthy looking as it would
be if the conditions were normal. All
the farmer can do it to in some man.
ner break this crust. A light, slant
ing-tooth harrow will do it, but per-
haps the most effective tool is the
field roller. 1t not only levels the sur,
face in a proper manner for harvest
ing the crop, but the pressure of roller
breaks the surface soil in small atoms.
The plants that ere already through
the soil now have plenty of room to
grow without pressure, but those not
through come up at once. There is
plenty of air and sunlight admitted,
and rain can easily reach the roots
to give the plant new life and vigor

Select a well drained piece of land;
then break it as deep as you can three
or more times; then check it ten feet
apart. Next, with "A hoe pull off the
first top four inches for about fifteen
inches in diameter; pull it all out on

inches deep to the other side; then
mix about one-half a gallon of well

If hen manure is used, half a pint to
hill is all that is permissible Plant
several seeds, six to ten, in a hill, and
as soon as they are up plant more. so
as to provide as well as you can
against frost, bugs, etc, preventing a
stand. AS soon as the vine gets to
running one or two inches, pull up all
but the thriftiest one. Leave perman-
emily but one in hill. In cultivating
plow deeply and be sure to give back
in blowing to the vines, cultivating
among the vines with a hoe. After
they get to running stick up pegs for
the tendrils of the vines to cling to, so
the winds will not then blow them
about. Keep them pruned as you
would grapevines, by not permitting
too many running branches to a vine;
by cutting off the surplus runners
with the hoe, and be sure to cover the
wound by pulling dirt over it. If very
large melons are desired you can orig
inally make larger holes and thereby
use more manure, and allow but two
melons to a vine.
