THE FARM AND HOME MATTERSOF INTEREST TO FARMER AND HOUSEWIFE. Prnflt* from Crops Must Al way* Include Hint Which the Hull Ualnsd— Farmer* ><■ Lawmaker* Koom f<> lluirx Improve mrnt Odd* mid I.ii.lk, Hrlntlvn Coat of t'rona. Any crop tlmt leave* the soil In good condition will cost lex* ilutti one which apparently i nya l»flU*r, but which largely draws u|a»u the roll tor plant food. Ordinary wheat straw take* more fertility from the «01l than potatoes, if compared by weight, because the potato in composed more largely i.f starch uml water. The noil gltoithl nut be considered its a source of food .'or plants, but rather :t* a location for growth, the fowl for the plants to be provided by the farmer, according to the requirements of the crop. No crop pays that leaves the soil poorer, tilde** sold nt a price which will enable to restore the plant food and also receive a fair profit for Ida time and Inlior. The soil is the storehouse of the farm < n which Is stored the raw material for future crops, ami the real wealth of a farm is in its soli, ns it can lie drawn upon in the future for crops timt may be In demand. Whether n farmer receives a tert;** re turn or fails altogether during any year, he has the soil ns a savings bank, representing much of that which has been applied to it previously. Water is ;t staple article on farms, mid Is sold more extensively than a.*ything else, .ullk contains alsmt S7 per cent, of water, and fruits of all kinds are considered more valuable if water predominates in their composition. Even a grain «rop Is not free from water, while grass nnd vegetables are mostly composed of water. Water is therefore the chea|*'st substance procured by good cultivation (for he ontains mon* of It by good cultivation than would lie the case otherwise), and next to water Is carlsm. When oil. butter, sugar ami starch are produced on the farm the leaves of the trees ami plants derive carlsm tenrbon dioxide) from the air and store It in their cells. Wie n the animals consume plants

they convert this carbon into compounds familiar to all. but the cost of which so fur ns the fertility of the soil is concerned may lie very small, and when the soil can he made to do service without loss the gain Is correspondingly as great to the fanner as from a sale. The real cost of crops on nearly all farms is that of labor, but laltor is profitable according to the uses to which It Is applied, and the lalsir-savlng implements must assist the laborer. If the farmer continues to grow crops for which he knows there will lie low prices his labor will be more expensive tbau with some better crop. Just what that better crop may be depends upon the location of tlie farm, the markets, the soil and other conditions. There are seasons when some crops pay better than others, as was the case with peaches last year, which gave good results. An acre of onions may be more profitable than live or ten acres of wheat, and yet the cost of the onions may be less than that of the wheat proportionately. A diversity of crops should be the rule, for no farmer can afford to take the risk of depending on n single crop. The cost will be nccorJing to the skill nnd judgment used by the farmer, and the estimate of profits must always include that which tho soil has also gained.-Philadelphia lleeord. Farmers uw lawmaker* 1 . The present personnel of Congrcst shows that there is one farmer to six lawyers, ami still the farmer wonder,, why it is so dillk’ilt to secure legislation on agricultural matters. While the proportion of representatives in State Legislatures is not quite so much in favor of the lawyers, neither is there ns luge a proportion in favor of tho farmer vvhen the representatives of other occupations are considered. The agricultural interests are quite Important factors, and should lie more prominently represented. Not tiiat there s need of more laws, for we have a surfeit already, but that thos • in whose interests the laws are or should be made may have a voice in their construction and enactment, Neithei should if be allowed that there are not equally intelligent ami able men among the farmers as are to be found in any other vocation. The lawyer, the manufacturer, the capitalist, all have their different interests, and are supposed to know the needs and requirements of legislation to protect and foster those interests. It is but natural that they should make these interests paramount in their labors ns represenativee of those who elect them. They know little of tlie practical side of agriculture, and cannot be expected to enact laws affecting it with the same wisdom ami judgment that those familiar with its practical workings cnn. Each division of Industry and business should be represented by a careful selection of those best fitted to understand and expound its needs. Why, tlii'it. should not our agricultural Interests In' more prominently represented In our State and national legislatures? Then ami not tiil then will those interests be Inked after as they Should lie. ami the legislation so much desireil and so obviously needed be secured. Room for iHdry Development. The dairy 'ndustry is woefully neglected in ninny of our States. \\ ell developed in tlie North and East, it has long been a notorious tact that many sections well provided by nature with excellent pasturage uni capacity for grain raising import from other States most of tlie butter and cheese consumed. While Ohio makes tin even ton of butter for each square mile of hind sur-

fare, and town. Pennsylvania, York, State ami Connecticut even more, many of our Southern Htntes turn off nil, average of lens than Xtai pound*. ami Oregon ami Washington only ’’<> pounds. With proper safeguards I around tin* purity of dairy products, this country ought not only to raise every pound of butter and cheese used, but a* nd abroad millions each year. Feeding torn nnd Heels. An extensive cattle feeder of N braska. who feed* a< res of con of his ow n raising ami It*) tons of beets n year, has kept n careful account of Ills operations for tin* last ten years. Eroin that record tin* following facts are given: For the first nine years the cost per heat! ranged from SI 4.00 to $32.31t; but In IM)3 he began feeding beets ami corn which htnl been cut and cured In the shock and then run through a shredding machine, ear, stalk, blade, all of which Is by the machine reduced to the condition of coarse hay. The cost of harvesting, shocking, shredding and feeding Is 3 cents per bushel of grain and fi1.87 per ton of fodder. The 1,900 acres averaged forty and one-half bushels of corn ami a ton and one-half of fodder per acre. The bets (sugar beets) yield thirty to fifty tons per acre counting tops and all. mid are fed whole. Both cattle and hogs nre fond of them, mid It was found that after cutting them the first few days the cattle learn to bite them off as a boy bites mi apple. Since adopting this ration the cost of fattening cattle has never exceeded $lO per brad. No cholera has ever occurrtsl among hogs folowing the ■ attic while feeding lieets. It Is estimated that beet tops from beets use I in sugar making are worth an average of per acre for cattle food.—Missouri Agriculturist. Late Hatches nf < hlckenM. While it is not desirable to set hens late, whore they an* allowed a wide range some nests will Is* stolen, and large broods of young chickens may come off as late as September or October. We have had such and made them profitable. The most important thing with late-hntehed chickens is to feed them liberally with wheat. This will keep them growing and cause them to feather early. Corn should only lie foil after really cold weather makes it necessary. If the young fowls an* induced to feather early they will need less corn. The work of feathering exhausts their strength very rapidly, ami should be finished before cold weather. Soil for Lilies. Soil for the Illium anratuiu should be rather heavy and lightened with coarse sand and leaf mold, says the Philadelphia Press. The secret of success with the auratiiin is to have rich soil below the bulb to induce roots to grow below, Rich soil above will feed, but will not cause the bulbs for another season’s flowering to form. Bulbs that bloomed last summer, and are to remain out all winter, will decay If they become water-soaked while dormant O<ld» and End*. If clothespins arc boiled a few minutesaud quickly dried every few weeks. It will cleanse them and make them more durable. Plain soups, rare steaks, fresh vegetables. light salads ami ripe fruit are more easily digested than cold baked or boiled meats and elaborate desserts. Figs are aperient and wholesome. They an* said to Is* valuable as food for those suffering from cancer; they are used externally as well as internally. Tomatoes are a powerful aperient for the liver, a sovereign remedy for dyspepsia and indigesti<*n, and tire Invaluable in all conditions of the system in which the use of calomel is indicated. Biscuit or bread dough once raised with dry yeast will keep In a refrigerator several days if closely covered with an earthen bowl. For breakfast rolls in warm weather it is more hygienic than baking powder, eroam or buttermilk biscuit. Lime water will sweeten jars and Jugs which soap ami water fall to cleanse. It Is admirable for correcting acidity of the stomach, nml for cleansing milk vessels and nursing bottles. A teacupful added to bread sponge will prevent souring. The fact that youngsters ruin the appearance of their digits by the exercise which is known us ‘’cracking the joints.” 13 well founded. This habit stretches and weakens the ligaments and so enlarges the Joints that the entire hand becomes knotty in consequence. Currants give an acid richness to cakes and puddings that is very appetizing. A quick way to clean them, after picking out sticks nnd stones, Is to add to every pound about a teacupful of flour, rub thoroughly with the hands nnd separate them entirely, then rub through a sieve, which will remove most of the stems. The great annoyance of people who nre bilking fruit pies comes from the loss of the rich syrup of Juicy pies. To prevent this take it strip of muslin otm Inch wide and long enough to go around the |>le. t’lttl It'P- "et the cloth In cold waler nnd lay It around the edge, half upon tin 1 pie and half upon the plate, pressing It on either side \Vh*n the pla is taken from the oven remove the cloth. This will Im* found a success. There Is no better tonic than seasonable and wholesome food. When appetite flags, mid the system weakens from excessive labor ami oppress!ve heat, nutritive (but easily digested) food Is required. Heavy dishes, containing animal fats or Irritating condiments, like suet puddings, lard pastry, etc., or rich meats—pork, beef and mutton— may be eaten with Impunity when snow Is flying, but not when the thermometer Is In the eighties.

HEALTH IN OLD ACE. A Reporter’s lnterc*»lna Interview with u Lady of tw <rtily-('»o kaera, Who Tell* n Marveloua.Htorr. From thr I'ulon, Port Jrrrit. !f. I*. But a short linn* ago. in a distant part »' the . ..liutrj. we heard <>f a ■•m -* by tin’ use <>f Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which seemed almost marvelous, and tn ire recently another substantial «Cd ;n <■ of their value rea< lied our ears. Being <•* utt inquiring turn of mind, nud wishing to kiiott just how much tin re was iti the story, a rep tier was sent to interview the iH-rsott said Io he thus lx*n<*fit**d.

The |A-i son alluded to above a« having been thus greatly benefited by the use ol Pink Pills is .Mr*. Jane llotalen, of Hainesville, N.

Hut home, a double house, one part of w'hlch I* occupied by her aon. Bl.e is a pleasant-faced old lady, looking to In* alsmt sixty live, but is in reality seventytwo years of age. Afirr a few nfcllinlnary remarks in explanation of the call, she was asked if she had any objection to giving us the details of the case and bow »Jie came to try this now famous remedy. "Not nt all." said she. “If my experience can be of atty go.xl to others. 1 ant sure they nre welcome to it—it ct*u do me no harm.*’ “When were you tak<*n wi< k a id what was the nature of tin* malady?" was asked. "It was about two years ago. ’I he trouble was rheumatic in character—sciatica. they called it and it was very paiuful indeed.

"My -on called my attention to an article in a paper, iu which it was stated that n Mr. Struble, of Branchville, a village la this county, had been greatly lienetitod by their use. and suggested that it would lie a good platt to try them. But I was skeptical iu regard to their value -in fact. I had no confidence in their efficacy and rather laughed at the suggestion. But the trouble increased and 1 was badly crippled. A few days later my son was about to visit a neighboring town ami suggcsSi d again that it might be well to try this miteh-talked-of remedy, and I then consented. He Isuight me a box of them ami I began taking them at once. At the eml of a wwk 1 noted a marked inqirovenient, and by the time I had taken the first box 1 was able to walk without a cane. 1 cwntinmsl their use. taking several box s and am, a t yon see, in a very c.itub.r able state of health." “Have you had any return of the troe“Not as yet. though at my time of Ilf", aeventv-two. it would not be surprising if I should have.

"Did you ever note any iil effects from the use of Pink Pills?" "None what-ver. They never disturbed my st hi any way or caused me any annoyance. Neither did I find it n■•<•ewaary to increase the dose, as the directions say may be desirable. 1 am able, as yon see, to attend to my own work. The repirter thanked Mrs. Hotalen for tier courtesy and bmle her good day.
