PREVENTING MILK FEVER.
lodide of Potssh, Properly Adminis-
tered. Has Proved = Specinc for
This Disease.

Some time ago we gave in this de-
partment of the paper n full account
of the new Schmidt method of treat
ing milk fever with a solution of
fodide of potash infused into the ud-
der; we are now in a position to give
instructions for the prevention of the
disease by use of the same drug prior
to parturition. Where it is feared
that COW will suffer from an attack
of milk fever she should be given 4
half drachm of iodide of potash twice
day for n week, two weeks ahead
of the expected event and three times
daily the last week. that is for one
week prior to calving This is for
fat COWS or such as have had pre-
vious attack and recovered, for such
cows are likely to suffer II second and
fatal attack. The drug is very strong
in its action, and where given for II
long time prior to paturition will be
apt to kill the calf and run the COW
down in condition. 1t is necessary
to get the COW under the control of
the drug, but it should, if possible, be
done in such n way that the life of
the calf is not endangered. We be-
lieve that it Is safe to give half
drachm of the iodidc of potash night
and morning for one week prior to
calring, and then two drachms Mt one
dose when il is seen that the cow is
about to calve, and this treatment will
prove effective in most eases, unless
the cow is very fat or prcdisposcd to
an attack by reason of Il previous
attack vt the same time the pfe--
nant cow should he well exercised
daily and should have soft food rath-
cr than lot of grain. Corn seems
to he an especially dangerous food
for heavy milking COWS that are get
ting little exercise prior to calving.
but bran is found to have good ef-
feet as preventive in that il does
not fattcn but keeps the bowels free
ly open. The iOdidc should he given
in little water as a drcnch or NAV
be mixed in the drinking water or
soft food. as it has no bad taste, and
cattle will not object to its presence
in food or water. 1t will lessen the
first flow of milk, but the flow will
come back in short time after the
COW gets over the effects of the DRUG.
and less milk is better than risk Of
having II case of the fatal disease
mentioned. Cows liable to have the
trouble should he kept Off green

SUBSTITUTE WAGON BOX.
Adapted for Hauling Manure, Earth
3 and other Materials Injurious
to Regular Bo,es.

For hauling manure, earth, stone,
etc, good farmer does not like to use
the regular box of his farm wagon,
since it will not present so good an APP
pearance on the road or last so long
when used for all kinds of work as it
will when better care is taken of it.
1t is a good plan to have an extra box
to be used for the rough work.
If the farmer does not care to go tn
the trouble of having made an extra
box, he may for some kinds of rough
and dirty work, such as stone and
manure hauling, replace the box with
rough boards laid loosely between the
standards in the old way. This method

the bottom boards are apt to work out

best TO go to little more trouble and

boards, planed on edges, to suit space
between standards and nail or screw

Figs and Thistles,

The church is the creature and not
the creator of Christianity.
God will use the preaching workman
as well as the working preacher.
If God puts you in a dark place it
may be compliment to the light that
is in you.
The world is not n see-saw in which
you go up by sending another down.
We may prepare ourselves for the
way, but God must prepare the way for
us.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Tabcruacle.-Thc lsraelites
were still unfamiliar with God; they
had had no communion with Him. 1t
was important. therefore, that they
should come into personal relations
with Him, and hence a sanctuary was a
necessity that they might realize His
constant presence in their midst. \
sanctuary not only would afford them
opportunities to offer sacritiCcs in
worship and in pcnitence, but would
daily educate them in holiness and the
siufulness of wickedncSs. The mere
presence of a church in any community
is help to better living.
The Plan of the Tabcrnaclp.-Th
tabernacle WAS Il great tent about 60
feet long (3G: lj), and standing in "A
curtained court of ljOX75 feet (3S:9,
13). The cubit is. roughly, Is inches.
Within this tent was smaller en-
closure, the description Of which is not
entirely clear. There were curtains
enclosing it, and also board wall, in
sections, for convenience in moving
(36:20-34). The enclosure within the
board wall was As feet long by Is feet
wide, and was probably covered by one
of the large curtains. The pillars
spoken of in 2G:32, 81: 1896, 3s, we
should call large tent poles. The "veil"
was a curtain dividing this inner en-
closure into two parts, the larger of
which was the Holy place, entered by
the priest each day. The Most Holy
| place was entered but once a year, and
only by the high priest. In the large
court which surrounded the taber-
nacle were (D the altar of burnt Of
fering (3S:1-7) and (2) the lavcr (30:l7-

3. And thou shalt put therein the ark
OF the testimony, and cover the ark with

The tabernacle and its services were
only shadows Of the things to come"
we are enjoying the realities.
The altar of burnt offering pro-
claimed mans need of the sacrifice that
was offered on Calvary.
The amounting of the priests was
symbolic Of the amounting by the Holy
Spirit that men may serve God.

FIaaaina Trains.

Some people have an idea that there Is a law providing for flagging trains, D said an old conductor of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, ''but there is no law. Any person can flag train The locomotive engineer and the conductor cannot know what tragedy is ahead, and they are only too glad to stop in the presence of supposed danger
 But the trivial things for which some of the hill billies stop us is certainly annoying and costly.
 Last week I was Jagged down to a stop between Pheelan ana Johnson. The passengers were naturally excited and looked out to see what was the mat ter, and in less than five minutes every passenger was out of the train.
 'Well. the cause of the stop was a dead man, but the death was not related in any way whatever to the train or the Louisville and Nashville railroad.
 "A hill billie saw the dead body of a man in the creek. In his excitement he looked around to tell somebody. The fast express dashed Into vIew, and the excited man thought he should notify the passengers. Why not? All men and wo- men who can pay for railroad tickets are supposed to take an interest in hu- man affairs.
 Every passenger got off the train to see the dead body. I lost exactly one hour and f1fty-five minutes in getting the passengers back on the train'

December Holidays.

The merchant who thought Christmas came this year on Saturday. December 27. was evidently a Freemason and had the festival of St, John, the divine in mind" remarked a past master
 By the way, the festival of St. John the divine. Is one of the two great Ma sonic holidays. the other being the feast of St. John the Baptist. The Scottish Rite Masons observe Maundy Thursday and Easter. and the Knights Templar observe also ascension day. These days are found in the Catholic ordo. The one strong man who led Scottish Rite Free masonry was Albert Pike. His mind was informed with poetry, historic knowledge and especially with the history of litera- ture and the evolution of dogmas.
 Next to Pike was Enoch Carson of Cincinnati. These were the two intel lectual giants who made the Scottish Rite the power 1t was. Pike was nomi- nal1y a member of the Protestant Epis- copal church. but in fact he has an eclectic. MT. Carson was also an eclectic but he was more of a churehman than General Pike. I heard Carson say in speech at a banquet in the Temple at Richmond a few years ago, this: With regard to liturgy, the church of Rome has it. The Scottish Rite, which has rich liturgy, in indebted for it to the Ro- man church. I never expect to be Roman Catholic, but all of Us who know the history of our rituals, especially the Rose Croix, and the Prince of Mercy with It's high altar, its crucifx, its incense and it's many candles. are stirred with the poetry of the past.
 Pike and Carson saw and felt the poetry and spiritual force behind form and matter and words"

STATE UNIFORMITY.

From the Cullman Tribune-Gazette.
 We are glad to see that some of the ablest and most influential papers in the state are giving prominence to this vital educational question and hope that all will take up the slogan for the children's sake on whom Alabama's future well fare and prosperity depends. Doubtless there will be lively opposition, for ener- BY and capital are being lined up to re- sist such enactments, but can it be that our legislature will be so venal as to let filthy lucre'' outweigh the claims of the children, the interests of the parents. the demands of patriotism, considerations of economy and the future greatness of our commonwealth We hope they are of nobler metal, more unselfish morale and have too much integrity and honor to betray the interests involved for thirty pieces of silver"

BIRDS WITHOUT FEATHERS.

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
 Birds of all kinds-domestic fowl par rots jays, macaws, ravens game birds, birds from every clime-are quite the vogue in pottery, highly glazed, and painted in brilliant colors. China tables and cabinets as well as china shown in special rooms are among the many methods of using such decorative pieces to advantage, and cause them to be in- cluded among this seasons holiday gifts. The prices vary from S5 to $25 though even higher prices are asked for many of the larger examples Figurines are also a fad for collection, where great taste and skill in choosing may be shown. These run up from $10 to $50 and $75, and are a charming gift to make. Equally popular are bronze animals and birds which are colored in the most re- allstic manner. These vary in size, and in price accordingly A $5 limit will purchase a dog horse. or bird of toy size. the larger ones costing as high as S10O but are then real treasures.

South Carolina Iron,

A company having apparently cap ital of $5O0,000 has been formed for the purpose of running the Bessemer ores of Blacksburg, South Carolina Blacksburg is a station on the South ern railroad, in York county, about equally distant from Spartanburg and Charlotte No, fuel lies within two hundred miles of the ore deposits.
 The promoters of the enterprise say the ores near Blacksburg are equal to the best Swedish ores, and that the available supply is between 100000 900 and 40,000,000 tons. The percentage of metallic iron in the ores varies from 49 to 65 per cent, say the pro- motors, and they are free from sul- phur and titanic acid, with only a slight trace of phophorus.
 The Charleston News and Courier anticipates the building of a second Birmingham at Blacksburg, through the smelting and handling of their Bessemer ores. But the News and Courier forgets that ores as a rule seek the fuel, and that the fuel never seeks the ores, although sometimes they meet half way, as in Chicago. The ores of Blacxsburg, if they be as pictured, will never be melted in Blacksburg. They will be carted away to meet coke from West Virginia or Alabama. The mountain barriers seem to eliminate Tennessee from the prob- lem.
 At present, however, 1t is best to catch the hare before cooking him. The representations of promoters are not wholly trustworthy, and until it is actually known what kind of ores ex- ist at Blacksburg and how great the available supply is, no one can say well what will be done in the direc- tion of reducing it to commercial forms.
