AN OPEN LETTER

To MOTHERS.

Confinement and Hard Work

Indoors, particularly in the sitting posture, are far more prejudicial to health than excessive muscular exertion in the open air. Hard sedentary workers are far too weary after office hours to take much needful exercise in the open air. They often need a tonic. Where can they seek invigoratlon more certainly and agreeably than from Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a renovant particularly adapted to recruit the exhausted force of nature. Use also for dyspepsia, kidney, liver and rheumatic ailments.

MIRACULOUS MUD.

found at the Indiana Mineral Springs, lnd., Cures Khenmatism Kidney, Bladder, Blood, Skin and Nervous Diseases. s,:

lllg Hotel han been Erected and People are Journeying There from all over the Country to Bathe in tlie Mud,

A deposit of most remarkable mud discovered in Indiana, has of recent years been attracting wide-spread attention. It is located at the Indiana Mineral Springs, Warren County, and has been formed by the action of the water from the famous Magno-Lithia springs. Through countless ages the foiiage of magnificent oaks on the hillside has annually fallen into a basin, and has been reduced by nature Into a pure black earth unmixed with roots, stones or sand. The water from the big spring for thousands of years has been soaking this deposit and saturating it with mineral salts, until now there is a layer of medicated mud about two acres in extent and from ten to twenty feet in thickness.

The strange medicinal value bf this peculiar, black, porous substance was accidentally discovered by an old soldier. Sam Story, who had brought rheumatism home from the war and suffered with it for years. He was attempting to dig a drainage ditch through the mud deposit, and after indulging In this useless experiment for a week or more, gave up the idea, tut meanwhile had been cured of his rheumatism.

The fame of the mud began to spread, and theaffllcted congregated at the Springs from everywhere.v The method of using the mud was at first very primitive, the patient merely sitting down in the deposit where nature had laid it. But since then improvements have been made, a beautiful hotel erected, and the mud bath developed into a luxurious expertonoe. The accompanying cut shows how it's done.

After all. Nature is the greatest of all chemists, and seems here to have prepared in a gigantic receptable an enormous mass of medicine for poulticing sore humanity. When all elsa had failed, Nature's treatment, the Magno-Mud cure, as it is now called, has in hundreds of cases brought back health and happiness.

TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL.

The Loweit Rates Ever Made to an Expo Kitlon In This Country.

The Exposition in commemoration of the admlsmission of Tennessee into the Union is not a local affair by any means, it far surpasses in extent of buildings, beauty of grounds, interesting exhibits and a number of both foreign and home attractions any exhibition ever held in this country, with the possible exception of the Columbian of iSqi. Located as it is on the main line of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad it is in the direct line of travel between the North and South, and can be visited en-route with loss of but little time. The extremely low rates that have been established make it cheaper to fio a little out of your way, even, to take in this great show, while its own attractions will well repay a special visit. Write Mr. C. P. Atniore, Gen'l Pass. Agent, Louisville, Ky., for matter concerning it.

SELECTING SEEDS.

Every man that plants seeds, whether for the farm, the vegetable or flower garden, should select those that do the best in the locality where they are to be planted. Different soils require different varieties, and every farmer or gardener should select, after trial, the kinds that succeed best on his land. One of the best guides in this direction is to note the success of the varities used on similar soils by neighbors the State experiment station can also usually give good advice.—American Agriculturist.

COXTHACTS WITH HIRED MEN.

A contract with a farm laborer is not necessarily to be made in writing, but it is wise to make it so, in case of disputes that so,often arise when the man suddenly makes up his mind to leave just at haying or harvest time. The safest way to make a contract to meet this frequent contingency is to scale the wages, giving the least the first month and increasing each month so that at the end the largest amount is paid. This may be arranged in this •way: If the sum is $20 a month and the time five months, the amounts may be $16, $18, $20, $22 and $24. The average is $20, and if the man leaves before the end of -the term he forfeits the larger sums. In the contract everything agreed upon must be written down it must be signed by both, one copy for each, and witnessed, both parties stating to the witness that they agree to the terms of the contract. This will avoid many disagreeable disputes and many changes that will otherwise occur. If the man leaves without due notice provided in the contract, he should forfeit the whole wages of the broken month, and the payments should be made on the 10th of the month following the work done. This gives some security against sudden leaving by the man. —New York

Times.

CONTRACTED HOOFS IN MULES AND HOBSES.

Contraction of the hoof in horses and mules can scarcely be called a disease, but merely the result of some injury to the parts, for it may occur from alternate soaking aud drying the feet, from bad shoeing, and removing the frog, which supports the walls of the hoof. An animal that is severely foundered, followed by severe inflammation in the legs and feet, is almost certain tohave contracted hoofs,unless given prompt attention in reducing the fever in the feet. Contraction, of course, implies a wasting atvay of the internal structure of the feet. Remove the shoes aud then keep the mule standing in a puddle of wet clay for twelve hourn a day, or wrap the front feet in rags aud keep these constantly wet until the inflammation subsides, then apply hoof ointment to keep the horn sol't. It may take two or three weeks of soaking in water half a day at a time to reduceJhe inflammation, but if kept up it can scarcely fail to remove the fever. Have the edges of the hoof smoothed off level and even, aud then when the animal is in condition to do light work have your blacksmith put on a bar shoe to protect.lhe heel and prevent crackiug. For a hoof ointment use equal parts of sweet oil, pine tar and nnttton tallow, and in warm weather add a little beeswax to make it harder. For the stiff cords of the lfeg rub them two or three times a day with the hand and ajply almost any good liniment or simple spirits of camphor. Never attempt to work an animal while there is anything th3 matter with the feet.—New York Sun.

LIBERAL MANURING FOR CORN.

If any one lias gained the impression from what has been heard from lecturers at institutes the past winter that corn can be successfully grown without a supply of plaut food, applied or already in the soil, he has only got to try it to be convinced of the error. Corn, in common with all other plants, draws on a store of jjlant food out of which to make up its growth. If this supply is not within reach it refuses to grow, the same as any and all other plants. The idea, then, that it does not exhaust the soil, or draw upon manures that may be applied is an error.

It is true that through experiment in these later years it has been Jearned that in some way corn will make a crop with a less application of the one material nitrogen than formerly was supposed. In some way it supplies itself, and without the hand of the farmer, with at least a portion of this one important ingredient that is represented in the crop after grown. In many cases lands that have been manured with barn manures for a longseries of years contain ,surplus of this one ingredient, whieji the corn may draw upon possibly for several crops. And then again, there is evidence that goes to support the theory that the corn plant has the power to secure a measure, at least, of its needed nitrogen from the air. Whether it is the one or the other that is really the source of supply, the fact remains, all the same, that good crops of corn are being grown with a smaller application of nitrogen than was formerly deemed necessary.

But it is this one element only that can be spared or can be reduced in quantity in the growing of this crop. The phosphorio acid and the potash must be supplied in the full propor­

tion called for. In manuring with barn manures the application must be liberal enough to meet the wants of the crop in these two elements or it will be a failure. If heavy crops are wanted the manuring must bo liberal. Corn cannot make the crop without the full supply of plant food. No farmer, then, need conclude he can grow coru successfully with scanty applications of manure.—Maine Farmer,

VALUE OF STRAW ON THE FARM.

Straw is worth more to any farmer to use at home than it is to sell, writes E. E. Flint, of Michigan, to the American Agriculturist. The cost pf baling is one dollar and a half per ton, besides boarding the four men and two teams of the pressers. Add to this one dollar per ton for hauling to market, and the amount reaches close to three dollars per ton. Good, bright wheat or oat straw sells at from three to four dollars a ton, seldom reaching the latter figure. Where the profit comes in is not clear, yet there are large numbers of farmers who sell all the straw they can possibly spars every year, actually depriving their stock of bedding to do so. Straw is not of great manurial value in itself, yet furnished freely to stock in ise form of bedding, or where they can tread it into the litter of a barnyard, it adds greatly to the value of the manure by absorbing the liquids and holding the gases, to say nothing of the added comfort to man and beast obliged to travel over it. It is always a mark of an intelligent farmer to see well littered stables and a barnyard dry enough to be comfortable under foot. Can anything more uncomfortable for any animal be imagined than to be foiced to occupy a stable where there is a week's accumulation of filth, unrelieved by the thick coating of straw which would, at least, make its bed dry, if not clean? Yet that is exactly the state of many a stable, and that too, perhaps, with a straw stack within a rod of it. I wish it were possible to impress upon the mind of every farmer the desirability of providing all his stock with a good thick bed of dry straw. No one should be guilty of robbing his animals of that comfort for the few paltry dollars that the straw brings.

But there is another point. On heavy soil nothing surpasses straw to lighten and loosen it. Spread the straw and plow it under, and if it does not plow under, scatter it in the furrow for the next furrow slice to cover. If this plan is followed it will hot bo many years before a change may be observed in the character of the soil it will be more friable, as well as more fertile. It is a bad practice to burnthe straw. The ashes may have some manurial value, but not much in proportion to the whole straw. The valuable nitrogen has been wafted away by the flames. It may be that on some farms the quantity of straw is so great that there is no other way of disposing of it, but burning is certainly the least desirable way of doing so. Give the cattle, horses or sheep access to a stack of straw through the winter, and there will net be much of it left in the spring. Oat and barley straw make good feed for stock, given in connection with grain, When hay is high-priced, it would be wise to utilize a portion of the straw in this way.

Another profitable use for straw, iu many instances, is in keeping out the cold from the stables. If there is a place where the wind whistles through or the snow sifts, nait boards to the inside of the studding, beginning at the bottom, aud fill the space between that and the outside with straw. It is excellent for this purpose, and will soon pay for the expenditure in the improved condition of the stock. This is especially true of cows in nulk. Nothing more quickly shrinks the flow of milk than cold.

In finding methods to disposo of surplus straw, do not forget the hog pen. No animal more enjoys a good dry bed than a hog, and there is no more perfect picture of content thau a number of hogs comfortably nestled in a pile of straw. There i3 no reason why a hog should be regarded as partial to filth. If he could talk he would express himself in favor of clean food and dry quarters. True, he seejis relief from heat and flies in a mud hole when he can find no clean water, but if lie had access to the straw stack he would show his appreciation of it. Feed the straw, work it into 'the manure pile, tread it under foot iu the baruyard, plow it under ground, dispose of it as a mulch around trees berry bushes or grape vines, but never seil straw off the farm. It is at home, and should 0e used there in some way.

FAH1I AND GARDEN NOTES. Give the colts a good 6tart and there will be little trouble about the finish.

It would seem to be only a question of time when the Clydesdale and Shire breeds would unite.

The best grades of butter have no foreign market to sustain prices, hence the slump this year.

The red raspberry is a good honey plant, and larger and better berries are the result of the visit of the bees.

It is folly to raise a scrub, when grade which will bring double price can be as easily bred, and as cheaply raised and fattened.

Notable Words.

Taken from the address of Hon. Lyman J. Gage, Secretary of the Treasury, to the Congress of Business Educators

I would not be here at all except out of a sense of gratitude to the institutions which this congress represents. I am under these obligations because in an early age, thirty-seven years ago, I came to Chicago a young man, with only the results of an ordinary education in the common schools, and undertook to engage in the affairs of commerce, but soon discovered deficiency. I looked about and in a commercial collegt found opportunity where, out of business hours, I could go and get the kind of technical knowledge in which I was deficient. It was, however, too inadequate, because my time was altogether too short, but I learned enough there and then to be the foundation for all the education in all the technicalities of business which I have been called upon to learn since. I understand that since those early days, when the emphasis was put upon the three R's, and. perhaps, a good deal thrown in that was a little extra and sensational, there has been a great deal of development in the perfection of this system of special education for business calling. I understand that there arc now some five hundred of these specialized schools in the United States and Canada, and that they employ something like 3,000 or more teachers, and there are in them 75,000 or 80,000 students fitting themselves for life in the special branches of business education which, in a free country, are so, important for every man to understand."
