Disinfectants.

There are three or four words
which are used by farmers as practi-
cally synonymous, but which have a
distinct difference in meaning-dis-
infsctant. antiseptic, deodorant,
germicide.
Every good disinfectant must be
q germicide; that it must kill
germs. An antiseptlc prevents the
growth OF the germ. but does not
kilt it. A deodorizer simply deadens
baG smells, and may not be disin-
fectant at all. The high-smelling
dis.nfectants are generally deodor-
ants and often of little value as
germicides.
Professor Ross, of the Wisconsin
Experiment Station regards corrosive
,sublimate, which is most excellent
germicide, as dangerous, on account
of the deadliness OF the poison, and
sometimes useless, on account OF
forming chemical combinations.
Ee regards q good. strong solution
of copperas as good disinfectant.
One of the best and cheapest is six
ounces of chloride of lime to gal
Ion of water; and provided the lime
is strictly fresh. whitewash is still
better. r.-Wallace's Farmer. T.

Vitality of Plants.

The vitality of many plants seems
largely a matter of moisture A
plant that cannot endure frost, and
which, of course, would be killed by
heat many degrees below the boil
ing point of water, can cut off its
seeds, each of which contains a plant
like its parent, and after these are
thoroughly dried, they may be sub
iected to heat above the boiling point
or exposed to the, greatest degree of
cold that can be produced and escape
unharmed. Give these seeds water,
however, and they act exactly like
the parent plant in their relations to
heat and cold. The change in the
seed, which enables it to endure ex-
tremes of heat and cold, while due
largely to lack of water, is also due
to other causes, for the protoplasm
becomes harder, more granulose and
denser, and changes somewhat in
chemical composition. = American

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
1t Is An Internal Disease and Re-
ouires An Internal Remedy.

The cause of Rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess OF uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system 30
regulated that no more acid will be formed
in excessive quantities. Rheumatism is an
internal disease and requires an internal
remedy. Rubbing with Oils and Liniments
will not cure, affords only temporary relief
at best, causes you to delay the proper
treatment, and allows the malady to get O
firmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure kheu-
matism than paint will change the fibre
of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered per,
feet and complete cure, which IS called
"Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds, OF
cases, it has effected the most marvellous
cures; we believe it will cure you. Rheu-
macide "gets Mt the joints from the IN
side," sweeps the poisons out OF the sys-
tenn. tones up the stomach, regulates the
liver and Kidneys and makes you well al!
over. Rheumacide strikes the roots OF
the disease and removes its cause. This
splendid remedy is sold by druggists and

Growing Low.Headed Trees.

Until within the past few years
everybody who grew fruit trees
wanted great, tall, "long-legged"
ones, so that team might be driven
beneath the lowest limbs. Most of
the Eastern fruit growers still live
in the past in this respect. In the
Far West the warm sun OF mild win
ter days caused sun scald on the tall
tree trunks and the fruit growers
learned that low-headed tree shaded
the short trunk enough to protect it,
and the practice of growing low
headed trees followed. The East is
slow to adopt this improved method,
but it is gaining ground.
Compared with high-headed trees
the low-headed ones have the ad-
vantage of being easier to prune,
spray, graft or bud, gather fruit
from, and are as easy to. cultivate.
Thus a saving n expense in caring
for the trees is made. Falling fruit
is not injured as it Is when falling
from high-headed tree.
Nurserymen ought to take the lead
in advocating low-headed trees and
those who propagate, advertise and
push the sale of such trees will reap
the reward. A nursery tree should
have only those limbs within one foot
of the ground removed, instead Of
being mutilated and bean voled"
four feet from the ground. If the
tree remains in the nursery the sec
ond year the leader" should be
topped at about two and one-half feet
and the side branches be cut back
to perhaps four inches; this is the
proper way to form foundation
branches for apple, pear and plum
trees. With peach trees which we
always dug when one year old or
less, the side branches should never
be taken off in the nursery. They
should be left for the fruit grower to
develop into low-headed trees

So said They Of Washington.

The President called in number
of newspaper correspondents some
days before leaving the White House
to talk with them in a general way
shout the attacks which have been
raade upon him and his policies in
the closing days of his administration.
He reninde them that he was. in a
situation similar to that of George
Washington, who was assailed by GER
\ tam individuals during the latter part
of his second term. Mr.. Roosevelt,
to emphasize his point, distributed
! for publication typewriter copies of
an editorial written by Phillip Ere
sneau and published in the Aurora of
Philadelphia on March 6, 1877, bit
terly attacking the first President,
whose second administration had just
closed. The editorial was as fol-
! lows: " sLord, lettest now Thou
Thy servant depart in peace, for mine
eyes have seen Thy salvation was
the pious ejaculation of pious man
who beheld a food of happiness rush
ing In upon mankind If ever there
was a time that would license the
reiteration of the ejaculation that
time is now arrived, for the man who
is the source of all the misfortune OF
our country is this day reduced to a
level with his feliow-citizens and is
no longer possessed of power to null
tiply evils upon the United States.
If.ever there was period Of rejoic-
ing, this is the moment. Every heart
in unison with the freedom and hap
pimess of the people ought to beat
high with exultation that the name of
Washington ceases from this day to
give currency to political iniquity and
TO legalize corruption. A new era is
now opening to us, an era which
promises much to the people, for pub
lie measures must now stand upon
their. own merits and nefarious pro-
jects can no longer be supported by a,
name. When retrospect is taken of
4 the Washington administration for
eight years, it is a subject Of the
greatest astonishment that single
individual should have cankered the
principles of Republicanism in an en-
iigttened people just emerged from
the gulf of despotism and should
have carried his design against the
public liberty so far as to have put In
Jeopardy its very existence. Such,
however, are the facts, and with these
staring us in the face the day ought
to be a jubilee in the United States. /"

Feeding Value of Leguminous Crops

Feeding Value of Leguminous Crops.
AS forage plants the legumes are
far superior to the grasses in real
feeding value. Besides being very
rich and healthful, feed, leguminous
hays instead of removing large guam
titles of the costly nitrogen Chat is,
costly when bought, they add to the
stock already in the soil.
They leave the soil richer in nitro
gen than it was before they were
grown. Leguminous hays are very
good to use with straw, stover, and
other farm wastes, to make up bal.
anced ration. For this purpose grass
is not the best, and the farmer who
does not grow legumes must buy coll
centrated feeds, if the best results
are expected from the feeding.
When considering the great value
! of the legumes as feed and how they
improve the soil, it is often wondered
why more people do not grow them.
AS a green manure. there is moth
ing that is equal to the legumes, and
there are enough different legumes
| that are specially adapted to differ
ent climates that all may grow some
kind. Legumes may be fed to all
classes of animals. They should form
/ a larger part of the ration of young
animals, and pregnant animals
should never be allowed to go with
out liberal supply of leguminous
forage. They are just as useful for
the feeding of older animals. In
fact, they are about the best all
round feed that can be had.
Alfalfa is by far the most valuable
forage plant, while it is not grown
so extensively as the clovers, yet
where 1t has been tried properly 1t
seldom fails to saow its high value
as a feed and soil improver. While
leguminous crops are hardy, and can
feed upon atmospheric nitrogen,
|, they require feeding with mineral
plant foods. Potash and, lime are
the chief elements required, though
they should have phosphoric acid.
The special value of COW peas as
catch crop for summer growth is
usually understood by many farmers.
In case of failure of any early crop
or after some of the early crops are
harvested, the land may be sown to
COW peas, and good crop of excel.
lent forage secured. All legumes
are great drouth resisters. Cow peas
grow and do we'll when the land Is
so dry tha. almost everything else
suffers.
During the winter season it is best
in feeding dry cows to always add
liberal quantity Of some leguminous
forage to the ration of silage. They
relish it and it is good to keep their
system in good condition, while it is
great milk producer
Land that will not produce a prof
table crop of corn. wheat, oats, or in
fact any grain, will under favorable
season conditions produce a good
crop of some leguminous crop, and in
this way the land is benefited, while
some of the very best feed is secured.
If all farmers give this matter the
attention that 1t Justly deserves, the
farms all over the country would be
made better, and more money would
be made from the feeding of the ami,
mails. Therefore two profits are
made at the same time-the profit or
feeding and the improvement of the
land. And the improvement of the
land must not be neglected If you are
after the greatest profit. = R. B
