CARE OF THE EARS.
Some Rules for Home Treatment for

The following are a few valuable rules
for the care Of the ears:
Never NEEDLE with the ear if foreign

have a physician attend 10 H.
Never put anything in the ear for the
relief of toothache
Never apply d poultice to the inside Of
the canal of the ear.
Never drop anything into the ear I'M
less il has been previously warmed
Never use anything but a syringe and
warm water for cleansing the ears.
Never strike or box a child's ears.
This has been known 10 rupture the
drumhead and cause incurable deafness.
Never wet the hair II you have ten

cap when bathing, and refrain from div
ing.
Never scratch the ears with anything
but the fingers if they itch. Do not use
the head Of a pin. hairpins. pencil tips
or anything of that nature.
Never let the feet become cold and
damp OF sit with the back toward a win
dow. as these things tend 10 aggrdVate
any existing hardness of hearing.
Never put milk. fat or amy oil sub

water will answer the purpose better
than anything else
Never be alarmed If an insect enters
the ear. Pouring warm water into the
canal viii drown IT, when IL will gen
orally come 10 the surface and can De
easily removed by the fingers. a few
putfs OF smoke blown into the ear will
stupefy the insect and il can then be
removed with safety.

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

Plants derive their substance chiefly
from the air, as all the carbo- -hydrates
are supplied by the air. and those ele-
ments come into the plant through the
leaves and comprise many times the
bulk Of that derived from the soil
On many farms there are muck
swamps that might be made source
of value, especially where nitrogen is
wanting in the other soils
The COW pea is worthy of more at
tention that 1t has received, though
1t is receiving more attention every
year,
The larger part of a decayed plant
is of no value for manure, but may
help the mechanical structure Of the
soil.
There was never a time In the his
tory of the world when agriculture
was as popular as at the present time.
The exhaustion Of the humus In a
soil frequently renders It almost un-
tillabie.
The first care of the farmer should
be to maintain the fertility Of his
land.
In swine raising for the beginner, a
start should be made with few ami
mails.

LOTS OF FARMS LEFT YET.
Public Domain Is Not by Any Means
Exhausted, as Some Would
Have Us Believe.

The material development of the
country Is quietly progressing at a re-
markable rate In one direction which is
not given much popular attention.
More than 22,824,299 acres Of the pub
lie lands were turned over to private
individuals last year This means that
an area almost equal to that of the
state Of Indiana has within that time
been added to the productive regions
of the United States. Most of these
newly opened lands we're homesteaded
by farmers, as will be seen from the
following fgures There were 54,365
patents Of all classes issued within the
year. or this number AZ 1854 are classed
as agricultural 4,9O4 as Indian allot.
ments. 1,104 as mineral patents, 200 as
coal patents, z76 as private land claims.
1S7 as railroad patents and 40 as
swamp land patents The total sum
which the government got by way of
fees and commissions for issuing these
patents was $l1.O24,744. Under a re-
cent law the most of the receipts from
the sale OF public lands will hence
forth be set aside for reclaiming arid
lands by irrigation.
In the public domain there are still
unappropriated 3S0,979, ,3O7 acres Of
surveyed lands and SOL .976, 1859 acres Of
unsurveyed lands, a total OF more
than 97O.955,000 acres. A great many
tracts in this immense area of course,
Will always remain uncultivated and
unsettled. but 1t has been estimated
that when the contemplated system of
irrigation shall be put into working
order SO much good land will be
opened that a population as large as
the whole nations present population
could find room there to thrive pros
perously and contentedly.
Rapid strides are now being made in
the developing Of the public domains.
The excitement and uproar of former
pioneer days are absent in this work,
Dut the process is marked and very ef-
fective. The passenger traffic on west.
ern railroads is evidence Of this fact
Agreeable reflections arise in contem.
plating that the United States still
owns so much arabic public land. The
dangers OF an overcro wded population
by immigration or natural increase are
still remote. The census for man,
years yet to come will not show an ex.
cess OF people above what the ives.

When Cutting Short Grain.

When cutting very short grain with
a harvester, considerable difficulty is
often experienced, as the short cut
grain will accumulate upon the sickle
bar in such quantity as to clog the
sickle. And 1t will be found that II the
reel is lowered enough to prevent this,
the short grain Is thrown too far back
upon the platform and scattered so
badly that 1t cannot be properly bound
into bundles without great loss. To
avoid this, get some very heavy can
vas, ten inches wide, and fasten 1t with
tacks the full length of the reel Stats.
and this will sweep the grain gently
onto the platform and thus avoid
waste e-Farm Journal.

THE INTEREST IN ALFALFA.
Plant Is Coming to Be Considered O
Cosmopolitan Grass of Wide
Range of Growth.

The interest in alfalfa seems always
on the increase. Ten years ago the
farmers Of Kansas we're discussing
whether or not they would grow this
crop, while now the same discussion Is
being carried on in the states far to the
east and north. Alfalfa was first intro
duced into this country by the monks
who settled on the coast of California
in the early part Of the last century.
They doubtless brought It from South
America. where 1t had been grown for

Green Manuring Of Crops.

There are many soils that are not
benefited by green manuring crops.
Such soils are those already rich in
nitrogen and In humus. An investiga-
tion by the University OF Illinois has
shown that on many of the soils In
Illinois an addition Of humus and of
nitrogen would be a positive detriment.
This leads 10 the remark that we must
have reason for every farm opera
tion. The green manure crop is needed
on that soil that Is deficient in humus
and nitrogen, but Is labor lost on many
other soils. It Is obvious that we can
not lay down rules that can be blindly
followed on all farms. The green ma
nuring crop Is valuable where 1t is
needed, but worthless or worse, where
II is not needed. The intelligence OF
every farmer must determine the ne
cessity for each operation on the farm.
