An easy way to fight lice is to
drive down post in the yard;wind
an old bran sack sacked in crude
kerosene about it and let the
hogs do the rest.
Better men and women are
certain to result from rural
childhood and this is surely a
big source of satisfaction to the
wise mother Cd a farm.
The usual dose of gasoline for
stomach worms is: Lambs, one
fourth ounce; sheep. one half
ounce; calves, one-half ounce;
yearling steers, one ounce.
Good country roads enable the
women folk to drive without risk
or discomfo"t-to pay visits in
the neighborhood- to take
an outing when they like.
Pigs are not we'll protected by
nature, and to thrive they must
have warm winter quarters free
from drafts. They must have a
good range for exercise, but they
must have warm quarters in
which to sleep.
Cattle and sheep will often
boat when turned on to clover
pastures in the fall. 1t is caused
by their eating too much of the
green plant. The bloat may be
reduced by giving the animals
subject to it some dry feed. Re-
gular sailing also helps.
A member of the country life
commission says the worst agri-
cultural conditions of this coun-
try are in the south, because the
farmer have robbed the soil of
its humus by growing cotton and
tobacco exclusively for more than
a hundred years.
The brush-eating instinct of
the Angora goat is being sue

where they are cutting trails for
fire guards through the brushy

It is estimated that conditions
on the farms of Missouri have
improved so per cent. during the
last ten years. The old-fashion
ed farmer, who used to spend
half his time shooting squirrels
in the woods, has taken to study
ing the agricultural newspapers
and college bulletins, and his wife
and children have learned that
farm life can be made pleasant as
well as profitable.

Dead Men.

There have been many stories
by the novelists abont the find
ing Of dead men, under one cir
cumstance or another, but moth
ing that we have ever read has
been more thrilling" than the
simple story of the finding of the
/ frozen corpses Of the sailors who
lost their lives in the Lake Erie
catastrophe the other day.
The great still ferry boat had
been missing for several days.
There were thirty two men upon
it when it pulled out from the
little Ohio city of Conneaut, from
the Canadian port. When it fail
ed to put in its appearance at the
appointed time, it began to be
rumored that it had been lost. II
was known that a wickedly icy
blizzard had swept the lake for a
day. Hours rolled by and the
boat failed to be sighted, and
tugs went out, at their peril, in
an effort to find the ship.
After several days, little tug
boat, cruising upon the white
capped waves, sighted a tiny
boat afar off-with men sitting
in it. AS it drew nearer, it be-
came evident that the men were
chilled, or dead, as they did not
move at the approach of the tug.
When the tug was alongside of
the little life boat, it was seen
that every one of the occupants
was a frozen corpse. Most of
them were sitting upright -froz-
en- stiff while still alive, as it
were. One Or two had toppled
over and were frozen to the bot
tom of the craft. But there they
were, nine of them, men made in
the image of their maker, yet
the stare of death in their faces S,
recovered, as sickening a sight
as ever human being saw.
Of course, all of these men did
not perish at the same instant.
There must have been one who
survived little longer than the
rest, the most robust, perhaps;
certainly the one with the stout
est neart. Imagine if you can. or
if you care to try, the feelings of
that last survivor as the wings of
death famed his soul into eterni-
ty. About him, giving up one at
a time, his comrades. First the
one who fell to the bottom of the
boat. Then another, and another

self-the fellow facing him. He
must have seen the dew of death
settling down upon him. There
was seven dead ones in the little
boat. There could be no doubt
as to the ultimate end of the
other two. Finally the one sob

as quietly as a leaf settles to the
ground, and the sole survivor eX-

was not a spar of any kind in
sight. Still he hoped. and watch

ONE Of the good things done by the

to pass Shober's Souse Sanitarium bill,
even II it was recommended by Gov.

most of Gov. Vessey recommendations
we are in hearty sympathy with snc
believe that he is foresighted and judi
cious in very large proportion OF
them. Here .s one, however, on which
we differ with him. Iowa has had a
similar institution for number OF
years at Knoxville and is already tired
OF 1t and talking OF abolishing it. The
following is press dispatch published
few days ago in many of the Iowa
dailies:
"DesMoines, Ia, April 7. Iowa :

was called a winter resort for husky
buns at tOnight's session of the house
by Representative Moore, OF Linn
county. He joined Representative
Dabney in his support of the latter's
bill to abolish the Knoxville institution.
A majority OF the members who were
present voted for the indorss ment Of
the bill. Only a small attendance pre-
vented It's passage. The house ad-
jonrned at 1890 o'clock
