Something You Ought to
Know.

A parasite is an organism which,
during Its life, lives within or on the
surface of HI animal for the purpose
of existence, and from which it re
ceives its nutrition and nourishment
The state or condition in which the
animal is kept either hastens or re-
tards the multiplication Of them.
They ara injurious in at least three
ways:

Worms in Hogs

The hog Is more infected with in.
testlnal worms than any other domes-
tic animal. The worms are created
by impure accommodations along the
intestinal track and generally pro-
duced by poorly digested food. The
nature of the hog and his manner of
eating renders him more susceptible
of intestinal worms than any other
animal. Under the present domesti-
Gated conditions he is not allowed the
llse of his natural instincts to obtain
the necessary element that would de-
stroy these intestinal parasites. The
hog that is wormy can neither grow
nor thrive for the reason that the
worms destroy all the effects of the
nutrition furnished in the feed. Ii
qn'd Koal strengthens the appetite
and tones up the system.

California Exhibits.

Having made several trips
through California, the Stanis-
laus County Exhibit Cars, now
in Missouri Valley, certainly
made one feel that he was
back in the land of SUNSHINE
and the paradise of fruit ano
flowers. The cars are kept ir
excellent condition and the ex.
hibits are legitimate specimens
of the products grown in Stan
islaus county. The exhibition
is an education to people who
have never been in California
and in them one can see fruits
Of all descriptions, so we'll pre-
served that it makes one long
to live where nature has been
so lavish. California fruits dc
not have that dried-up taste
like that of the middle west
when the season has been dry,
but the irrigation of the land
makes the growth perfect and
hence the flavor and size is lust
as ordained by nature herself,
though lavish it may seem to
some people. In this section Of
the United States we are likely
to be prejudiced and skeptical
in regard to the possibilities
and the agricultural advant-
ages Of another part of our
country, but this exhibition is
not exaggerated nor misrepre-
sented in the least, and one can
say honestly and sincerely that
Stanislaus county cannot be de-
scribed or pictured in its true
state, for one must feel the in
vigorating air and see the lux
uriant vegetation to understand
thoroughly the pleasure of liv-
ing in such a garden spot. The
land owns the water there,
that is, every acre of land un-
der the irrigation system has
an equal right to use the water
and pays therefor whether
water is used or not. This right
ginheres in the land and is not
detachable therefrom; it passes
with passing of ownership of
the land. When one sells land
in irrigation district he does
not retain any interest in the
water or in the right of the
land to use the water. This is
the proper way to buy irrigated
land for there will be no law
suits over water-rights, such as
a ways happen where the ca
nails are owned by private con-
Germs. The manager and his
assistants are gentlemanly and
make it pleasant for the visit
ors-in striking contrast to
many shows of this character
but this is no show, for the adj
mission charged would not pay
for hauling the cars. The mu-
scum car contains numerous
specimens Of fish and animal
life peculiar to the coast, the
most interesting of which is the

st. Thomas, Canada, June 8.
Dear Della: AS You will see
by the date we ale in Canada
and have just taken our first
meal out Of the United States.
and we can't notice that it
tasted any different from the
U. s. grub. The crowd | am
with consists of twenty people
about equally divided between
Council Bluffs and Omaha, and
they arc all Christian Science
people. They seem to think
that Mrs. Eddy is the person
ification of all that is good,
and their whole conversation in
The car is on their religion. |
am getting to be considerable
of a Christian Science fellow
myself, and if should get the
cholera morbus in New York |
won't take any medicine for it
but will just "think" | haven't
got it, so will be all right. The
ride through Iowa yesterday
demonstrated that the Iowa
farmer is the king of the situa-
ton. Every field showed the
small grain and corn in fine
condition, and we wondered IS
we looked at the beautiful
farms all the way from Mis-
souri, Valley to Clinton why a
man ever wanted to leave Iowa
to go to any country on earth.
We haven't seen any farming
country since we crossed the
Mississippi river that is as good
as Iowa. The party is in charge
of Edwin H. Rothert, general
agent of the G. & N. w. at
Council Bluffs and he surely
makes a good tourist agent for
the company. We reached Chi
cago on time Thursday evening
and had to lay over for three
hours, not getting out of there
until midnight over the Michi-
gan Central road. The crowd
got out of the berths early tins
morning as breakfast was
served in the diner only from
seven to eight o'clock. The
run into Detroit was very pleas
ant, as there was a big rain last
night over this country, sothere
is no dust today. How a farm
err can make a living in Mich
igan raising corn is more than
we can tell. The farms are so
rocky from Battle Creek to
Detroit that we don't see how
the farmer finds dirt enough to
cover the seed. Every farm
along there is fenced by the
stones that have been dug out
of the fields. We crossed the
river at Detroit on the railroad
ferry at 10 o'clock and landed
on Canadian soil. We can't
notice any difference in the two
countries. The people seem to
be about the same. The first
Canadian town we passed
through we saw o woman clean
ing house. She was beating
the carpet while the old man
was sitting on a stump and
seemed to be giving orders
the same as they do it in the
United States. The Michigan
Central is surely o fine road to
make this trip over. They have
a fine equipment and a first
class road bed and the train
men seem to be fine fellows. |
will try and mail this letter at
Buffalo as a U. S. stamp won't
answer in this country. Will
write you again from Boston.

Hampshire, but tx ink it Will be
a close shave. | am not tuck
on making any more two thous-
and mile railroad rides.

Distribution of Seeds.


tice originated we are unable to
state, but we suppose the idea
eminated in the brain of some
Congressman who desired to in
gratiate himself into the rood
opinion Of his agricultural vo
ters so as to insure his continu.
ance in congress. The practice,
to say the least, is of doubtful
propriety, and in fact the con-
stitutional right to appropriate
the public moneys of the gov
eminent for private use is very
questionable. Such use of the
funds of the nation pertakes Of
bride, and he who gives or re
ceives such gift or bride is ac
ting contrary to right. When
given by a memer of Congress.
it is given with a hope of inhu
encing the voter in favor of the
giver, and is, therefore, an offer
ed bride. The receiver, gener-
ally, feels flattered by such at
thntion from his member Of
congress, while the congress-
man feels that he has, by this
cheap clap-trap, secured a true
friend and a firm supporter.
This Congressional Seed Dis
tribution is. as a general thing,
valueless and not Away what
they are supposed to be. We
remember our member of con-
gress sent us a package of extra
flower seed we felt flattered
by this attention, and concluded
to secure some real COMPRESSION
al flowers, but when the seed
terminated, to our surprise and
modification, we had a beauti-
fulsupply of jamestown weeds.
We did not find fault with our
congressman for the blunder,
but we have ever since consid-
cred the Congressional Seed
Distribution as the variest hum
bug of the age. We have no
doubt but what the awful pest.
the Dandalion came to us as a
gift from some congressman,
marked French Pinks," or 9TH
er high sounding name.
This congressional seed Civ
ing costs the government thous-
ands of dollars yearly, in seed,
packing, postage, &C., and the
advantage to the farmer is so
small that it cannot be compu-
ted, and frequently when sent
the seed is not what it purports
to. The time has arrived in this
country when the intelligent
voter no longer requires Off he
ever did, the package of seed
to influence his vote.
Even admit, for the sake of ar
gument, that by this sending out
of seed congress does really ad-
vance claims of tho sender on
his district, what right has such
member or members to take
from the National treasury the
peoples money to be used in
building up their own populari-
ty hoping thereby to continue
a member of congress? Money
appropriated to some great Ma
tional improvement which will
be an advantage to the people,
or even to perpetuate the name
and honor of some distinguished
citizen who has been a public
benefactor, or some great SOL
der who has sealed his dovo-
ton to his country's flag and
added glory to the American
name, would be justifiable, but
to scatter Jamestown weeds, or
distribute Egyptian wheat is a
humbug too transparent to be
advisable, and Congress by such
appropriations, only adds to the
opinion Of the public that they
are only trying to secure a lit
tie cheap notoriety by appropri-
