a Remedy for smaIlpox.

From the Stockton Cali Herald.
/ herewith append a recipe which has
been used to my knowledge in hundreds
Of cases. It will prevent or cure the
smallpox, though the pittings are fl
ling. When Jenner discovered cow
pox in England the world of science
hurled an avalanche Of fame upon his
head, but when the most scientific
school of medicine in the world-that
Of Paris-published this recipe as
penacea for smallpox it passed unheed-
ed. 1t is unfailing as fate and eonquers
IN every instance. 1t is harmless when
taken by we'll person. 1t viii cure
scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as 1
have used it to cure smallpox; when
learned physicians said the patient
must die it cured: Sulphate OF zinc,
one grain; foxglove (digitslis), one
grain; half a teaspoOuful Of water.
When thoroughly mixed add four oun-
ces Of water; a teaspoonful is a dose.
Either disease will disappear in ID
hours. For child, smaller doses &C
eOrding to age. If countries would
compel their physicians to use this
there would be no need Of pest houses.
IF you value advise and experience
use this for that terrible disease.

THE SMALLPOX SITUATION.
A Few New Cases are Reported which
Have Been Put Under Quarantine
Fletcher and D8mmitt are Well

The situation in the county as to
smallpox is somewhat changed from
that reported a week ago. Elmer
Fletcher, one Of the young men first
taken down, has recovered, but four of
the Fletcher family are now afflicted
with the disease. Frank Dimmitt, the
the other young man, is also well and
no new cases are reported in the Dim
mitt family. The young child of J. p.
johnson, who lives in the Dimmitt and
Fletcher neighborhoOd, about six miles
west of town, has the smallpox and the
family has been quarantined.
A case was reported Wednesday at
n. E. Albertson's, six miles east Of
town on the road TO Edison, and ply
clan, Dr. Richards, was called to in
vestigate the case and report. Mrs. n.
E AIbertson was reported as having
the smallpox, and the family was put
under quarantine Wednesday evening.
She returned from a visit to Wichita,
Kan, about two weeks ago, and it is
presumed took the disease there. A
number of people who have lately call
ed on the family have been exposed.
There are no cases as yet in Good
land and everything possible is being
done by the board of health to prevent
the spread of the disease, and its get
ting foothold in the city. A case
thought to be diphtheria has been re-
ported and Is being carefully investi-
gated. The child of Nick Scallion,
about a year old, is sick with sore
throat, and for safety the family have
been quarantined. Yesterday a med
zeal consultation was held, and the de-
cision reached was that it was not
case of diphtheria but of tonsilitis, and
the quarantine was accordingly raised.
County health officer, DR.. Farrow,
has received information concerning
the smallpox situation in adjoining
counties. The health officer at Sharon
Springs reports that they had eight
cases, but that they had all recovered
and quarantine regulations had been
suspended. From Atwood, the health
officer of Rawlins county states that
they have had - cases with one fatal
ity. At Norton they have got down TO
II cases and at Athena they have .
cases. At all these places they claim
they now have the disease under con-
troll
DR.. Farrow, the county health Off
Ger, and the members Of the board Of
health have acted with cOmmendable
promptness In all the aforementioned
cases, and In looking after the health
of the community generally.

NIarr,s Lamb

The poem entitled, Mary Had a Lit :
tie Lamb" is founded on facts. The
incidents which suggested the verses
are as follows: When Mary E. Sawyer,
the heroine of the poem, was a little
girl in Sterling, near Worcester, Mass,
where she was born, she found a new
born lamb almost dead with cold. She
nursed it to life, and it became very
much attached to her. 1t was her con-
slant playmate, and one day her bro
ther suggested taking it to school Ar
irving before the opening, it was put
under the seat, where it lay eontented-
y. Mary being called to a recitation,
the lamb ran down the isle after her,
to the great surprise of the teacher.
1t was put out of doors, but waited IN
way home. A young man named John
Roulstone happened to visit the school
that day; the incident set him to think
ing, and he composed the first three
verses OF the poem and gave them to
Mary. a Mrs Townsend added the
others. The lamb became q sheep, aud
from the wool Mary's mother knitted
two pairs Of stockings for her; these
Mary kept until she was so years old.
When the ladies of Boston undertook
to raise money for the Old South
church several years ago, Mary contri-
buted a pair Of these stockings, the
yarn OF which was. unraveled ana
wound on cards inscribed with her
autograph and sold. Mary E. Sawyer
became the wife of Columbus Tyler,
and died in December, 1880 New
York Weekly.

Water in Butter.

The Iowa experiment station has
been making series of interesting
experiments concerning the absorption
of water in butter which are reported
in bulletin 90 The greatest amount of
water was found in the butter when
the churning temperature was low (5z
degrees) and the wash water warm
GO degrees). The least amount Of
water was found where the tempera-
ture was II degrees at churning and
the wash water was 40 degrees, the
granules in both cases being the size
of bird shot. The principle shown by
these experiments have proved effec-
tive in practice, as shown by the re-
suits of analiZing butter made by the
college creamery for the English mar
ket, when it was desired to make but
ter rather free from water.

Fruit Tree sprayer.
~~~~~~o~


The illustration shows an improved
spraying apparatus for discharging
liquids on the foliage of fruit trees, the
machine being designed especially for
large orchards, where time is more
valuable. With the apparatus provided
1t Is possible to drive team between
the rows at fairly rapid pace, and
as two streams are provided the ada
cent sides of two rows of trees may be
sprayed at the same time. There is
also q storage tank for the accumula-
ton of pressure, in order that If tree
Is discovered to be unusually infested
with insects the wagon may be stopped
long enough to treat them to an extra
large dose of the destroyer. The pipes
are arranged in such manner that
number of barrels Of the liquid may be
carried at once, emptying themselves
automatically in rotation, without the
opening or closing of any valves when
the sprayer is once in motion. Thus
large quantity Of the liquid may be
carried and discharged with the least
attention to detail, allowing the oper-
ator to devote his entire thought to

Farm, Cattle.

It is not true that the cattle business
to be profitable must be conducted on
the broad ranges of the western plains,
says Texas Farm and Ranch. That is
one profitable system of cattle raising,
but there is another which yields fully
as great profits for the capital invested.
Raising cattle on the farm has in all
countries and all ages been found prof
liable, and more so now than ever. By
raising cattle on the farm the farmer
has a good market for all the feed he
can raise, saves labor and expense of
transportation aud avoids much loss
from waste and the hocus pocus of
commerce. And one of the main fea-
lures of stock farming is that it can be
made to continually improve the fertil-
ity and value of the farm.

Getting Ready for Potato Planting.
Go at the early potato field hammer
and longs" Put on the disk, spring
tooth, acme, smoothing harrow and
plank drag or anything else that you
have that will chop it up and help to
make it as fine as an ash heap. Then
do it again. Set the disk to cut deep
and fairly pillow it up, crossing the piece
once or twice, allowing the disk to lap
one-half. Do not stop at pulverizing
the surface for this or any other crop,
but cut and mellow and make your soil
fine right down to the bottom Of the
furrOw If possible, which will give the
millions of tiny, hair-like rootlets that
will later penetrate to this depth every
opportunity to reach and feed on all of
the available plant food contained in
every small particle of the soil. When
satisfied that your soil cannot be better
prepared, you are then ready to make
the first application of fertilizers, in
which you can afford to be very liberal
since any surplus left from the rank
feeding potato plant will be available
for the following or second crop, SC
that no part of it will be lost.-Ohio

A Wrinkle in Cooking Steak.

The proper way to cook beefsteak
is to broil it, but oftentimes 1t may
happen that it is not convenient, ana
the steak must be fried. This may De
done very satisfactorily if a little,
thought is given to the matter. Put an
iron saucepan over the fire and let II
become very hot; then rub the pan with,
a piece of butter and put in the steak
and quickly brown one side; then turn,
it and brown the other side. This Will
keep in the juices Cover the pan and
cook the steak three minutes; again
turn it and cook it three minutes
longer If the steak is not OF extra
thickness the meat will be cooked suf-
ficiently in that length of time. Place
the steak on hot platter, spread 1T
with butter, season with salt and pep,
per and serve.

when TO Plant Sugar Reet,.

The Michigan station decides that it
is safe and wise to plant beets IS early
in the spring as we do any farm crop;
that prolonging the date of planting
gives longer period for thinning and
in ordinary years should lengthen the
season of ripening and harvesting, and
finally that the date of planting seems
to have but little influence on the per-
centage of sugar. DR.. Wiley says,
..Beets should be planted as early in
the spring as possible"

Scabby Potatoes.

Some one expresses an opinion that
the scab on potatoes is worse where
the ground is packed solid or is allow
ed to crust over. If this is true it
is true it should be less abundant where
a strawy manure is used than where
commercial fertilizers are used, which
and porous by having green rye or a
heavy grass sward plowed under just
before the seed is planted will grow
potatoes free from scab almost invaria-
bly,, but we think that the decaying
vegetation kills the fungus tina. causes
the scab.-Exchange.
