Feme of oar readers can remember when it cost 25 cents to send a letter to a (riend. Tbia cbarg was made for a single sUeet of psper, and no envelopes were csed. Children ot today rwmember that there ttm much discussion about the advisability of reducing tbe then extraordinary rate of 3 centa per half ounce to 2 cents, many holding that we bad already reached the limit of progress along those lines. The two-cent rate and the postal card seem marvels of cheapness to us now, tin d when the proposition is now made Ibat the system of free mail delivery in car towns thould be extended to our country districts, many are sure that we tre going too far in governmental service tor the people. Let us figure on this for a moment. The jovernmat transmits our mails because it can do it better and more cheaply than individual can do it. It brings the mail In bulk to a central point the postofficeThen hundreds of people lose from fifteen minutes to two hours going from their homes to get thtir mail and thus finish the work the government partly does. Is It business for hundreds of people et an oifice to spend their time doing a work that one man can do? Why thould the government not finish its work when it can do it bo much moro cheaply than the individuals? The work of distribution need not be costly. Mad boxes can be put up by each one receivins mail, and by plaring them on tho roadside the carrier would lose littlo time in distribution. Tiio incora of tho department would be err oat !r increased by increase of correspondence and other mail matter to be carried over its routes. The two-cent postage rotj increased the number of letters yearly written, and bo would free delivery. But there is another view that appeals tr.ore closely to the writer. As farmers we want the means for growth in intelligence and treneral information. We want to be able to reach our business friends with orders for poods, and want fresh pacrs to read without being compelled to ofe hours in goiaz to the postofhee. We Trould feel m treater decree that we were a part of the world, and oftentimes we would not loss opportunities for monermakmg through the delays in our Drescnt system of setting the Tna;L More rea-iine would be done. Increased opportunities for communication are the marks of growth in civilization. Ab farnien, doomed to isolation in Eome decree by the nature of our work, we ned every help we can set to make the lives of our families ltsi lonely. Clean and wholesome daily papers would double their circulation m the countrv districts If they could be delivered at the farmers' doors, and they would be a grand educational force. The free delivery of mail is ooly an advance etep in the direction in which we are coin?. It is onlv a matter of time Until it will come. AN e are not undertak ing to say whether it will pay the eovern taent in increased ravenues to begin it Bow. but the srovernment U onlv the eer Vant of the people and we are very sure it will rav the people. Much time will be javel and reading and information in treaaed. The people ia tho towns and the cities are thus favored now and there should be no class discrimination. As we are a part of the people, why not give us the means of realizing it more iully by pUcine fresh papers and letters in our hands? We hope ths day will soon come when the free mail delivery wiil apsit in making it just as easy for countryfolk to keep informed as it is now for town peo pie. TalrTtaw T.rm papri-, 4, ty DTd. In this paper I em to give my method of raising corn. My readers will bear in mind that Fairview farm ia up'.and, and Las not that inexhaustible store of avail able plant food that bleases very limited portions of our Etate. While raising crops the maintenance of fertility is an ever present problem. For corn I always prefer sod land, and, whila clover is proferable, yet timothy ia quite patisfactory. Potatoes do not thrive eo well in a timothy eo l as does corn, eo that the clover is followed by potatoes and old meadows are broken for corn. In retard to the depth of plowina for corn formers diüer widely, but I rind that Bod turned five inched produces well. Corn is a native of fairlv warm latitudes, and this fact lead.- it to root much shallower than plants twelve feet hish or more would be supposed to do. When the plant food is about live inches under th.9 suriaco it teems to be moat available for the feeding roots of corn. Thorough preparation of the se?d bed Is important, es moisture will cot rise throuzh cloudv ground. A good stand in dry spring cannot bo gotten unless the lints? of tho soil is esveral inches deep. I rnn raue more corn in drills than in checks, but as it coPts more to till and gather it. it is my rule to practice both method", depending upon the fertility and character of the Roil. Corn is often planted too deep. As I plant early a is eafe I do not want the planter to put the seed more than one and a half in che ander the surface. The barrow should be used after the first rain. both to break any crust and to kill weoda boforw they are up. I thin It this is an Important point. I usually give one deep plowing eud then give ehallow but freouent cultivations. During the late sum mer the weeis snoolu bti cut out witn a hoe, but this work must be done on cool or cloudv davs to prevent firing. Although I value the fodder highly for fead I do not think it pays to cut corn green, as is occafionally done, as the grain loses in weight ty shrinking. I pre. er that i l husks he well ripened. Bv observing these rules I can raia very satisfactory crops. (irtui Itr.tAla'a Oraln Aeranga, Tho report of the English board of ag riculture for 1531 makes the wheat crop of Great Britain 72,127,203 bushels, being ver 1.000.000 less than in 183a The deireas is due to the smaller acreage, the yisli per aore beinj one and a half bushf!s graater than in the preceding year. This falling off in area is chiefly noticeable n those parts of the country in which wheat has never given the beet returns. This is true notably of Scotland, where Ihe decline in acreage is 14 per cent. ynd in Wales, where it is 10 per cent. Extreme southeastern Knzland has also suffered a decline of nearly 10 per cent. On the other hand these sections of Eng'and In which the average yield per acre is doable the American average the area Is Well maintained. Great Britain must continue to increaso ber imports of breadstuff as population increases, as tbe r:a Uit csn t s dj voted to grain is very

limited. Her present crop of 72.000,000

seems Yerv'xmall when compared with our crop of Öli.000,000 last ye ir. 1 hat country a production of oats and barley wad also less than in lS'JO, the productofthe former bein 112.000,0)0 bushels, and of the latter 72.000.0UÜ, the same as of wheat. Tbe report states that the wheat plant is looking stoat and healthy. India Is our great competitor tor the English market, it being the fixed policy of the English government to promote the production of all posiblo supplies within the limit of her iolilical territory. The first report of the India wheat crop is not very favorable, due in part to the insufficiency of moisture in the latter part of the seeding eesson. The area town is probably about the same as last year, the exceP8 in some provinces being balanced by a decrease in others. It is too early to got any report of much actual value. Palan Cattle. Foada. Of all the frauds eought to be practiced upon the farmer, probably none are more glaring than the concentrated stock foods, as put on the market by many manufac turers. These compounds usually sell for 50 cents a package of three or four pounds, or $1 for twelve pounds. They thus range in price from $150 to S2-S0 per ton. They put forth the claim that they are "not a medicine, but a concentrated food." A New England experiment station has done a good work in analyzing several of these compounds, and in every case their feeding value ranged from that of wheat middlings to that of cotton-peed meal. One was not ae good as n.iddliugs, but it contained about 2 per cent, of common salt and was scented with fenugreek. This brand told at only $120 a ton. Another brand showed a trace of sulphuric acid and nearly per cent, of common palt, and it sold at '$333 a ton a fair advance over cost of common salt, certainly. The odor of fenuareek was perceptible in all "foods" examined. All were glaring frauds in that the food value of the best one was not over J25 a ton, and the sul phur, salt. etc. ran be bought for a few cents a pound. On whom do the sharks live? Not on Sentinel readers, I trust. Wiil the day never come when the city 8harrrs will learn that farmers are no longer their easy prey? The trouble is that too many do not read, and thus learn of the exposures being made. Health should be tho first consideration in every home. There is more ill health in the country than eeera necessary to one who studies the laws of health and the conditions that prevail on too many farms. A 8 the hot weather approaches tho danger from the house cellars becomes great, and tho writer would give one more warning to all who have vegetables and fruits stored under their dwellings. Alter sicknees has laid hold oi some member of the family it may be too late to save life-long regrets that carelcF6neää has led us to ieopardize life itself. In decaying vegetation the disease germs of the air ficd a hotbed for production. For one year or two years every member of the family may be strong enough to withstand the attack of these germs, aa they lloat through the house after every opening of the cellar door, but the dav comes when the system of some one is unequal to the strain, and a fever is the consequence. The facta about these germs are established, and xcientists find new proofs each day. How then dare . I. . 1. V.,, 1 L-nr.t nnrn'' Each decaying pilo of potatoes or apples or other matter is a menace to our lives. The house cellar can be kept sale, but the prevalent careleesaess leads one to depre cate the existence ot all cellars under a dwelling. Tho out-ceilar U so much safer. An observance of a few eiuiple rule, however, is all that is needed to render a'l cellars safe. Tho first is cleanliness. Decaying matter mav be removed in time and the walla should havo a eemi-annual coat of white-wash, to which a little car bolic acid is added. Any special damp ness and moldines-3 is usually duo to lack of ventilation. If the cellar h kept dry and clean, and tho ventilation through outaiie windows is good, the danger is groaJy diminished. Those building houses nnoald provide a ventilatinz pipe fro. cellar to roof of bouse. The Cist thing to bo done these warm days ia to get the cellar rcrupulously clt-an. If done in time life may bo saved; at the very least health will be promoted and many ills escaped. Ihe writer em phasize? this because its importance is not realized by too manv, who have otten to bow to the will of I'rovidence. as they view it, when in reality it is only a reaping of the results of carelessness that, when not ignorant, is nearly criminal. Clonar Cinrar. The disease of clover is well known in Europe, but never made its appearance in this country, as tar as known, until two years ago. It would appear probable that it wss introduced with imported scarlet clover seed, and has been found on several farms iu Delaware. It attacks and destroys all kinds of clovers, and is one of the most eerious pests known, as the only relief known on farms infested with the dieease is to cease the raiding of clover for a few years. This department has bad much to ssy about the value of the clover plant to the farmers, but the half has not Leen told. We can hardly appreciate the work of plants that gather costly nitrates from the air and store them for succeeding crops. In a eonse they are right who say corn is king, or hay is chief among agricultural products, but an understanding of the value of geguminous plants, of which clover is chief, leads one to say that this claps is most important of all to the f irm era of this country. It i the foundation of successful agriculture in the future. While we trust there is no imminent dan ger of widespread injury from this newly imported diseas", vet our experiment sta tions cannot study it too closely and strive to find a remedy for it. Ilraaklog Colta. Colts should be trained rather than broken, but young horses are rarely handled much until it ia necessary to put them to work, and then all their preliminary trelning must be given In a ehcrt time. There are a few simple rules that should be followed. The fiiet is : The colt should be made to understand what is wanted before any attempt is made to force it to do it. More mistakes are made by failure in this regard than in any other. It ia hard to bear in mind the fact that the raw coll knows nothing, and must be given time to understand and comprehend tbe new order of things. It is like a young child trying to matter the alphabet. Colts should be taught to lead, to stand tied and to become used to a bridle-bit before they are harnessed. Then they should have time to become accustomed to harness before being to put to work. The easiest way is to put the harness on and leave the colt in a stall a day. If it can be led around the yard au hour or two so that it becomes usrad to the chafing cf tho harness and is accustomed to being led and fastened by the halter, half the terror of being put to work i3 cone. It Las mastered the idea that its liberty is gone and that its trainer is not wanting to hurt it. Of course the dispositions of colts differ much, but draft stock, of which we write, are natural pullers, tnd there israrely any diiSculty when they understand what is wanted. When booked beside a steady horse and the driver is slow and easy in

bis movements a very lsw hours are sufficient to assuro him that there is no dan

ger, and then all that is nee Jet is patience and watch fullness. More horses are spoiled through a detect in the disposi tions of the drivers than their own. The unbroken horse is ignorant and fearful. llemove the fears by kind and careful handling, and then begin by giving it easy leesons. Vtarda. Trof. Shaw of the college of agriculture, Guelph, Ont.. has made a most thorough study of weeds and the best methods for their extermination. lie thinks th? task of cleaning dirty farrus and koeping thorn clean is not bo formidable as many farmers suppose. It does not cost over $75 a year now lo keep the college farm of 500 acres free of weeds, notwithstanding the fact that it was very foul three years ego. Of all weeda he finds the annuals the hardest to eradicate, as the seda may lie dormant for many years is.enmalft produce feed only in the second year, and are easily controlled by ordinary cultivation. Berenniali, euch as the Canada thistle and quack grass, can be subdued only by keeping them free frcrn making anv growth for several months, especially in the latter part of the summer. The professor's remedy for Canada thistle is constant cultivation for two seasons followed by seeding to rank growing grosse. "Saatiaal" Potatars. Is your cellar moldy?

Valuable 11 aal tli Il nU I-ong Life As the waste of animal food In those who lead indolt-nt lives U carried otf by the kidneys, it is very d-irable that they should be kept well Hushed with plenty of water, for pure water is to kidneys what fresh air is to the lungs, and taken in tho early morning preferably as hot ai it can be sipped, it washes away the unhealthy secretions that have accumulatedein the stomach during the night, and timulates it to healthy action, and then paseingon through the eyetora until it reaches the kidneys, carries away by their aid the uric acid gout poison and other impurities that should have no fixed habitation in the body at all, and would not hae if the sufferer were properly dieted for even two or three weeks each year. There is no reason why, with proper food, taken according to season at proper intervals and in proper quantity, men should not live invariably, accidenti exceptod, to a hundred years'; in Jact, taking

the lenRth of life of animals as a criterion, this thould be the length of life in men. The length of life of an animal should be four times Ueyeurs it takes for it to arrive at maturity, and as a man may be 6aid to arrive et " perfect maturity at the age of twenty-five years, so he should on this hypothesis live to a hundred.

It beems needless to say that enemas are chiefly given to produce a movement of the bowels. They, however, also are used for introducing "food and medicine into the system when for any reason the natural mode of administration (by mouth) is interfered w ith. Various kinds of syringes are employed; the beet and easiest one to manage'ia the "fountain eyringe," in which a long rubber tubing runs from the bag. A pinch lock at the end of tho tubing stops the flow of water the flow is uniform and the force can be gauced by the height at which the bag i suspended. The greatest advantage in using this kind of eyringe is that the person given the enema has the free use of the hands. Domeetic Calisthenics A form of exercise that is becoming constantly moro popular is housework. Sensible physicians recommend It for growing giris and it furnishes home-bound wives and mothers with opportunities for physical activity

that they would otherwise lack. Unlike cali.-thenics, it possesses the advantage of requiring no lengthy change of toilet before it can be performed. There can be no question that euch an employment as sweeping calls into play the majority of the muscles of the body. But to derive full benefit from this kiud of work one must perform it in a room whero there is plenty of fresh air, and must be clad in loosely-fitting garments. To sweep clothed inasnukfly-tittingcorsetand tight sleeves is injurious us well as uncomfortable. One experiences more harm than good by stirring up the dust of a room unless -frsh air is admitted at thp 6ame time to aid in dissipating the lurking disease germs that animate all dust. A". 1'. Recorder. Cure for the Gravel The simplest remedies at a'l times are eminently desirable. Seldom indeed is a more pleasant and innocent one offered for a complaint than the following: In the British Tt Jourrat we find the following, taken from a periodical called the Fnmtfy llnüd and published in 184, given an experience and directions in the U!-e of honey as a cure for the malady known as gravel: "I wss much afilirted with the gravel. and twice in serious dancer. I met with a gentleman who had btn in my situation and got rid of this disorder by sweetening his tea with bnlf honey and half sugar. I adopted this remedy and found it effectual. After being fully clear of my disease I declined taking honey for about ten years, and in about three months I had a fit of my old complaint I then renewed the practice of taking honey (as taken from the comb) in ny tea, and am now more than threescore and have not for the past twentyseven years had the ßlightcdt symptom of tho gravel, I havo recommended my prescription to many of my acquaintances and never knew it to fail." Bunions A correspondent wiehea to kuow how bunions may be removed. Bunions cannot bo removed unless the surgeon use his knife. Surgical interference ia in most coses undesirable. So, commodly speaking, bunions cannot be cured. They can be mado less painful and oftentimes reduced to such a state of quL-t and comfort that for days no pain is felt. Some plasters fcr sale by druggists, particularly those of fresh make, are very efficacious in relieving pain and swelling. ''Shirley D.ire" gives the following directions for decreasing the pain: "Rub daily with dark VRseane and wear very thin waxed silk over it. This is prepared by shaving bits oi paraffine wax over thin w hite lining silk and smoothing with a hot iron. If this dees not rtlieve the bunion apply iodine salve, sixteen grains to the half-ounce. Wear a rubber protector mde for huniona. Soak the feet in hot water with wood ashes added, or a teaspoonful of washing coda to a pail of water. A warm poultice cf flaxeeed at night often eases a great Ideal." The wearing of short shoes and short stocking. is tho only cause of bunions. In buying footwear alwavs buy a stocking too long ia the foot judge of the length by the amount of stocking extending beyond the big toe when the foot is stretched out its greatest length in the stocking at least a half-inch of Bpace should be left unoccupied. The same rule for shoes thould be observed. More corns and bunions are caused by cramping the foot in a small stocking than in email shoes. Great care must be exercised in forcing the nozzle of the syringo into the rectum. Place the patient upon his leit side, gently push the nzzel backward an inch (iu an adult), as if vou was aiming to strike the backbone; then bIowIv turn it about (without withdrawing) and push it up ward, as if you wished to touch the navel. iiy carelully observing this rule no pain ia caused. The amount of liquid to bo administered depends upon the B20 of the patient. An adult may require from one to four pints. A little child requires from three to-four tablespoonfuls un to a teacupful, according to its age. Tbe simplest and most generally servicable liquid is strong soapu ln. Lastue soap makes a good euds, and if the suds prove insufh cient to bring about a movement, salt or iuolfisep may bo added, in the proportion of two tablespoonfuls to the pint of eoapy water. A writer in Ladyhood eavs: "In adults end in children old enough to de scribe sensations there is soon after the injection begins a desire to evacuate the small quantity administered. If the flow of liquor be stopped for a little the sensation passes, snd much more can be given without distress. A treater ouanitv usually can be given if the liquor is intro duced flowlv. hen tho desire to empty the bowel becomes strong the tube should be withdrawn and a napkin held against the seat for a few minutes, bv which time the bowel will be stimulated to freely un load itself. In giving enemas to young children who cannot describe these symp toms, tbev must be largely guessed at from their Etraining or other signs." When medicines or food are to be ad minidtered, the rectum should be sponged out first with soapy water, unless some disease of the rectum exists, and in that case, of course, the physician roust give the directions no food or drug can be ab sorbed if the rectum is full of frecal matter. The liquid food introduced ehould be warmed to about the beat of the bodv The patient should be kept lying upon his back for half an hour at least after the enema of food or medicine. When medicines or food ae administered bv means of an enema the bulk of the latter should be small enough to be easily retained in the bowel. An adult unirritated bowel will not comfortably retain above six ounces, and often no more than four: if tho bowel be irritated as m dytentry, perhaps no moro than two ounces. A young child under the same conditions might retain from a teaspoon lul to two tablespoonfuls. C!eveUtid'a rmcrtU in Inataaa.

sent to your address together with one years subscription to THE STATE SENTINEL.

In presenting to the people of our state this "Popular History of Indiana," which Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks has just given to the public, THE SENTINEL feels justified in directing the special attention of its readers to the extraordinary merit as well as the marvelous cheapness of this magnificent work. It is a large octavo volume of about three hundred pages, printed on fine toned paper from new electrotpye plates; is very profusely illustrated with scenes and portraits of prominent places and persons, and is handsomely bound in the best English cloth. It embodies in its thirty chapters a full and authentic account of all the great events in Indiana irom the earliest discoveries down to the present time. This great work ought to be in every home. It is impartially written, is a charming work to read, and will do more good to the rising generation in our state than any other book in existence. It is practically the only history of the state published which treats of all the leading events in the formation and growth of our great commonwealth up to and including the present year. These it admirably depicts and gives therewith faithful sketches of the lives of the great men who have made Indiana one of the greatest states in the American Union. In addition to the above it gives a full official register of all the state and territorial officers, and also the population of all the counties and thirty-seven ot the largest cities in the state, irom the last census. Agents wanted in every school district in the state, to whom a very liberal commission will be paid and special inducements will be offered. This is the best chance lor agents to make big money now offered. Send for terms, etc Address
