CLOSE TO MOTHER NATURE.
Truck Patches Near New Orleans
Please an Editor.

During our trip to the Mississippi
we observed the country closely and
we had an opportunity to see every
class of farming, from the cotton
planter up to the sugar kings, writes
the editor of the Southern Cultiyat0r
All have their attractions for us, but
the truck gardener appears more close
to us than any other branch Of farm
ing, for the following reasons. As We
came out Of New Orleans and started
up the fertile valley of the Father
of Waters" We soon came into the
truckers section. Here the French,
Italian and the German have their
three and fow-acre farms. The rowS
all laid out straight aud regular; this
section in onions, this in cabbage, this
in turnips, this in spinach or kale-
all green and showing that manure
and filth had both combined to pro.
mote the most vigorous growth. As
we looked out upon these men work
ing their vegetables with skill and
care, stirring the soil, transpTaudug
the plants or watering them, We
thought TO ourselves, happy men
and a blessed occupation. The farm.

American Ide,ll,u

Since my first arrival in Americ,
have held that the real spirit is ide
istc aud that the average individr
American is controlled by ideallsi
impulses. Those who may contradi
me can not have sounded the dent
of the philosophy Of Ralph Wal,
Emerson, or studied the life and rei
the speeches of Abraham Lincoln. an
considered their flrreachlng effect O
the American people. In Lincoln
great character nothing can be NOR
striking than the way in which h
combined reality and the loftiest idea
with a thoroughly practical capacit,
to achieve that ideal by practica
methods. This faculty seemed to Civ,
him a farsighted, almost superhumar
vision, which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight Of the
keenest statesmen and thinkers OF his
age-Baron Speck Won Sternburg, in
FCrum.

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes Of
Various Formations.

At a recent convention of German
naturalists and doctors DR.. Watcher,
OF Stuttgart in an instructive paper
put forth a sensational theory to ex-
plain the formation of the shape OF
the head Of infants. He maintained
that the head of a child could be
nodded artilicially He found by ex-
perience that when a medium.shaped
head is placed in a soft cushion the
child turns on its back, or rests on the
back of its head, in order to free
mouth, nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly, and a short
head Is developed But if the medium.
shaped head of child is placed on a
hard under-rest like hair mattress
or rolled carpet, the child's head
turns aside as it cannot stand any
more on its head than an egg, for the
muscle of the back is weakened.
Therefore with continued resting on
the side a long head is developed. To
prove his assertions the lecturer pre-
scented child whose mother and sis
ter are shortheaded. The child at its
birth had short head, now after IS
months it is long skulled. If the child
had been placed on its back, according
to other experiences its head would
have been short-shaped DR.. Watcher
did not deny that the shape of the
head was inherited, but asserted that
it could be greatly influenced by the
way the child rested.

equal parts Of turpentne, lard and
kerosene and mix together. Rub the
COWS well under their jaws and down
their throat. Then he takes a small
handful Of salt and puts well down
their throat so they will have to swal-
dow it. He says this has cured his
when similarly affected. The throat
swelling attends several diseases and
we would have to be guided by other
symptoms to know exactly the trouble.
