subirrigation all we have to do is to turn the water from pail or hose, as the case may be. right into the upright tiles or boxes at the corner or sides. Another advantage is that there is no objection to the use of washing suds in the same manner, while we would not like to apply them from above directly upon plants puch as lettuce, etc., which are intended for table use. When we come to arrange a piece of garden or field for subirrigation. however, we stand before an unsolved problem. In theory everything seems plain Bailing. All we have to do is to place at the upper end of a patch a box In which to turn the water, washing suds or other liquids, to be carried along rn lines of small-sized tile to the opposite ml. Very few practical trials have thus far been recorded. The placing of the tiles will require thought and judgment. Both the distance between the lines and the inclination or fall of each line must be determined according to the character of the eoil. There are some soils that let the water pass through almost as readily as a sieve, and others that take up the water very slowly. In sandy ?nd other soils of the former character, the tiks can be laid on considerable of an incline, and as closely and tightiy as possible, otherwise the water would all soak in! the ground long before it comes to the end of the line, leaving the lower part of the patch dry. In clay soils, on the other hand, the tiles may have to be laid on a dead level, and with plenty of cracks and openings all along the line, otherwise the water would all rush to the lower end, giving this an excess of water, and leaving the upper end only scantily rrovlded. In short, the proper way of laying the tiles for subirrigatlon requires a nice adjustment and consideration of all conditions, and we will have to experiment a good deal before we have this thing "down to a fine point." But it is a timely question, and apparently a matter which interests a great many gardeners; In fact, all who wish to make themselves as independent of climatic and atmospheric conditions as possible.

(hirnso I.lve 5tocU lndntry. . Wood Brothers, live stock commission men at tho Chicago stock yards, have compiled some interesting statistics and statements concerning the trade of the part year at that point. The magnitude of the business is generally understood. In a vague or general way, but cannot be appreciated from published statements alone. To read that 3,133,963 cattle were received at the yards last year, and that 2.429,943 of them were slaughtered there gives a faint idea of the business. One must se the 300 acres of stock pens, the ICO miles of railroad tracks, connecting with every road in the city; the hundreds of yard engines, puffing, rushing, backing, switching and pcreeching. hauling trains of cattle, eheep, calves and horses to landing points: the acres of packing houses and commission houses: the army of 20,000 men employed In the yards and about them; the steady, systematic labor of this vast army, which can receive, unload, reshlp, slaughter, can and otherwise dispose of a hundred thousand head of live stock In a single day. He must witness the slaughtering process, the packing, the canning, the utilization of offal, and then go away with one overpowering impression upon his mind that man is a bloodthirsty gourmand whose ravenous nature can only be sustained by the destruction of all other animal life. The minutiae of the business at these yards is as interesting as its magnitude. The most rigid economy is practiced in all the slaughtering plants. It is a common saying that nothing: but the squeal 'f a hog Is lost. The stomach of a hogis made into lepsin. The feet of hogs and cattle, the clippings of hides, and some of the lons are made into glue. The paunches of cattle are converted into tripe. The choicer parts of the feet are made into oloo. Leaf lard is used for butterin. The intestines are stuffed for sausage. The bladders are used to pack putty in. The undigested food in the stomachs of attle is pressed and dried f'r fuel. The horns and hoofs are sold to manufacturers of combs, buttons, etc.. and tho larg white hoofs are s.nt tr China whero they are made into Jewelry. All the blond is carefully saved, coagulated by steam, presset! and dried, and p. 11 t fertilizer establishments. All the f craps are saved and sold for fertilizers. Bones are dried and ground into b...ne n;e;il or made into bone charcoal for refining sugar, etc. The long ends of cattle tails are sold to mattress makers. Nothing Is wasted that can be saved; everything Is utilized and the profits of the business are thus generally enhanced. Ohio Farmer. Feed. Your liecm. . A good bee-keeper says: "Keep a frharp lookout for any stands you have reason to think may te sh .it of store. You cannot afford to lose one single stand, especially after getting them thus far along. They have already consumed several rounds of honey, and should you let them die this honey will be a total loss. Don't be afraid to examine them any day when they can fly, and if such a day dots not come soon I would risk it any way. Of course it won't do to lift out the combs or leave them exposed very long. I simply lift up the corners of the quilt and peep under around the edges, as there is whera the honey is most likely to l. if they have been fed late in the. fall the honey will most generally be found in the center of the hive, and Just where I lik to have a part of it. "If any are short of stores go at once and make some candy for them. I don't remember whether I have evr told how to make bee candy or not. If I have, it won't be amiss to tell It again. Take granulated sugsj: and add a small amount of water. Just enough to dissolve it thoroughly. Stir it well to keep from burning. If it burns it is dangerous to feed in tho winter, but may be fed with safety late in the spring. B11 until it is Just about right to nrake good, hard taffy. If you can make good taffy you can make good bee candy. However, the candy dots not need 'pulling.' "I feed in cakes one cake- of two or three pounds to each stand. Place the candy above the txes and on the frames, and cover up warmly with several thicknesses of oil carpet or quilts. I ft-ed my bees candy whether they are short of stores or not. My experience is that they do well on candy, and I can food them cheaper now than later in the spring, should I have to feed them then. I have already heard of several stands that have starved, in my own neighborhood, this winter. They did not look after them In time. Some colon lea conFume twice as much honey as others, and these may be the ones that are short of stores." Weaning Cnlve. What time to wean a calf when only the welfare of the calf is considered, depends upon circumstances, says the Trairie Farmer. There can be no fixed time for the weaning of calves. The manner of raising and feeding them will largely depend upon whether they are Intended for the market or for future breeding purpose. The season of the year and the latitude and climate of the country, also to some extent influence the peri.xl of change. Thus the time for weaning calves rang from one to three, four, or even five months. Tf a calf has ben always strong and healthy, it may be the rooner weaned from milk! Whn dt"rmin-d on weaning, calves fhould not be deprived of milk or withdrawn fr'-m the mother all at once. If they have been raised by hand, the quantity of milk should be lessened daily, and given at longer Intervals, o tbat it may be withdrawn insensibly. If raised by the side of the mother, the Intervals between admission to her should l gradually lengthened, and the stay with her be gradually shortened. Meanwhile, fresh bundles of the best wild hay (no coarse hay), or clovery portion of hay. free from dust, fresh turnip, potato, carrot, all given sliced, pure water at will, a little jtoundqa oil

cake, presented in . turns and- in limited quantity, at the time when they used to get their milk, will be eaten for the sake of novelty. It Is very difficult to

lay down an exact rule for feeding calves, so far as quantity Is concerned; nor can a time be fixed for weaning, the appearance of forwardness in the animal being the best rule to go by. At three months of age calves have an appetite for grass, and it Is then that the process of weaning should begin, supposing the calf to be a late winter or early spring calf. Seeds Quantity. - A correspondent writes to know- why he cannot realize upon the prices quoted for dairy butter in the larger cities, as at home he must take in trade at least 12 cents less than best prices. He admits that he only milks a few cows, and that It Is not much of a dairy section where he lives. One of the things that prevents full realization of all the benefits and profits of the dairy is In lack of material from which to make a nearly uniform amount of butter, and so little attention is paid to the industry by the farmers of a locality, that the attention of the buyers of the market Is not attracted, and so the trade 13 left to the local huckster and groceryman, both of whom are disposed to barter, and so make two profits out of the transaction. As a rule, the butter from scattering and small dairies is not In quality up to beat quotations, and as the country trade pays all alike for butter, and sells on merit, the result is that low prices must rule. Too few persons in the country who make In a small way. comprehend the market taste, and do not "hit" the demand, and that means 3 to 10 cents off. The truth Is. the private dairyman must keep cows enough to make butter-making an object and then make the thing the market wants. The fact is that an enormous amount of poor dairy butter is made. We lately saw 1,500 pounds brought in by a huckster's wagon in one load, and of the entire mass there was less than two hundred pounds of fancy butter, and the huckster said that this good butter was bought where large dairies were kept and the butter churned every other day. This realizing best prices must come and can only come from best conditions, and these are a fair-sized dairy, full knowledge of making fine butter, and selling to a1 butter merchant who pays cash for the butter that carries price with merit. The huckster can never be in the nature of things the progressive dairyman's best friend: Practical Farmer. Housekeeper' Hints. All kinds of cooked fish can be served with salads. Lettuce is the best green salad to serve, but all cooked and cold vegetables go well with fish. An excellent remedy for inflamed eyes is to soak a little sassafras pith In boiling water; let it draw until the water becomes slimy, and then strain through thin muslin. Bathe the eyes frequently with the liquid. To prevent the juice from pies running over, thrust little funnels of white paper into the cuts on top, through which the steam may escape and the juice boil up. and then run back into the pi? again when it stops cooking. The best mutton is of fine grain, a bright color, the fat firm and white. It is better for being full-grown. The meat of the ewe Is not so bright, while the grain is closer. The ram mutton may be known by the redness of the flesh and the sponginess of the fat. Most cakes need a moderately hot and some even a cool oven. A good old test is to put a piece of thick paper into the oven, to shut the door and open it again after five minute?. If the paper is of a light brown color the oven is moderately hot, and if yellow the oven is cool. If you live In an old house where the door sills are worn down, and und?r which the wind rushes, making the floor so cold no amount of fire can warm it, try tacking strips of oil cloth across the bottom of the doors, letting it come well down on to the sill. If done with care it will not drag, neither is It unslightly; still if one objects to the looks it can be painted to match the color of the door. "CiHik your water as you do your food," is th advice of a well-known physician in the New York Tribune. This is really not difficult to manage if the affair is systemized, and when properly filtered and aerated boiled water is as bright, sparkling and agreeable to the taste as any other. There are filters that come especially for aerating water as well as filtering it, and if servants are accustomed to fill the filter regularly the daily provision of water in this way becomes as much a part of the household machinery as the cooking, and one has always the satisfaction of knowing that water prepared in this way is perfectly safe. It must be borne in mind, however, that the tenierature of water just brought to a boll is not sufficient to destroy bacteria: thirty minutes steady boiling is the rule. Calciniined Walls If you wish to paper a ceiling or wall that has been calcimine! wash it thoroughly with glue water. Home-Mada Soap To make cheap and excellent soap buy a box of Banner concentrated lye and follow the directions on the drapper. Caraway Cake Beat to a cream four ounces each of butter and sugar (cost 12 cents), stir in two eggs (cost 2 cents), one gill of milk (cost 1 cent), one pound of sifted flour (cost 4 cents) and 5 cents' worth of caraway seed; bake the cake for two hours in a deep earthen dish, testing it with a clean broom splint to be sure It is done before you take It from the Oven. It will cost about 21 cents. Sweet Biscuits Rub four ounces of butter (cost 8 cents) Into one pound of flour (cost 4 cents); dissolve four ounces of sugar (cost 3 cents) In half a pint of warm milk (cost 2 cents); pour this Into the flour, mixing it smoothly; then dissolve half a level teaspoonful of cream of tartar in one gill of cold water, and stir it into the above ingredients. When they are thoroughly mixed, roll out the paste about quarter of an inch thick, cut it out in small round cakes, and bake them golden brown, at once. In a quick oven. A good supply will cost about 17 cents. Orange Biscuits Boil large Valencia oranges, changing the water twice, until they can 1m? pierced with a straw. Then remove the ieel. Let it become a little dry. Pound It to a fine powder in a mortar and mix it with an equal weight of sugar. Spread It out on china dishes in a thin layer, and let it dry thoroughly before a fire or in the sun. Io not attempt to make this preserve with Florida oranges, for though the pulp of the Florida oranges Is far superior to any other as fruit, yet the skin to be used for confectionery Is far Inferior to the cheap Mediterranean oranges. Soft Gingerbread Melt one ounce of butter (coot 2 cents), add It to half a Pint of molasses (cost 5 cents), with one level teaspoonful each of ground cloves, cinnamon and ginger (cost 1 cent); dissolve one level teaspoonful of soda In half a pint of boiling water, mix this with the molasses, and lightly stir in half a pound of sifted Hour (cost 2 cent); line a cake-pan with buttered In 1885, my son, suffered very much from Canco cf the mouth, by advka of pbyticians, n oj eration was performed, extending from the Jaw tone, which rrmmmrmmmm. they Serai-" tut thecan- RfJFTgW 5?Q r returned Finally, after trylr? many remedies in rain, I commenced to give 1 im S. i.

paper, pour In the batter, which will be very thin, and bake It about half an hour, or Until you can run a broom splint Into it. and withdraw It clean. The cake, which will be a good size, will cost about 10 cents. Orange Chips Cut the oranges in quarters, squeezing out carefully all the juice and straining it through a fine hair strainer or sieve. Slice the peel which has been removed in thin chips; weigh them, and for every pound of the peel weigh out a pound of sugar. Soak trie peel In cold water till the next day. putting the sugar with the juice. Boil the peel when it is soaked In the same water until It Is very tender. Then drain It and put it with the chips and sugar, and boil It until the sirup is a candy. Lift the chips out of the sirup and lay them one by one on to greased papers to dry. It sometimes takes several weeks for them to dry', it Is said, but they are very nice when they are done. Bavarian Wasps' Nests Take a pound and a half of flour, sift it into & large pan or bowl, add six eggs, half a pound of melted butter (which must not be hot), one pint of cream or rich milk, one ounce and a half of yeast dissolved in the latter, and a Faltspoonful of salt. Work all this together until a pretty firm blistering dough, and let it rise. Then remove to a floured baking-board and roll out the dough Into a thin sheet. Brush it over with melted butter and sprinkle thick with well picked and wash-dried currants, almonds blanched and minced, powdered cinanmon and sugar. Then cut the dough into strips of three fingers' width, roll up these strips from one to the other, and place the rolls on end In a buttered high-rimmed form. Cover it up with a warm cloth and let It rise again. Bake in a moderately hot oven for three-quarters of an hour. It takes a large form to bake the above quantity. Pine Apple Desserts The strawberry pineapple, in spite of Its acidity, makes a very good compote and is nice for desserts. For a compote, peel the pineapple and cut It in slices about a quarter of an inch thick. Remove the core. Make a sirup of a cup of sugar and a cup of water. Let It boll for about five minutes. Pour It hot over the sliced pineapple and let the fruit steep In this sirup well covered for twenty-four hours. Then drain the pineapple and boil down the sirup for ten minutes more, until it begins to thicken. Pour it hot over the pineapple again, and when the dish is cold serA'e it. A great many desserts may be made from the strawberry pineapple, and It is often considered better for this purpose than the sweeter sugarloaf pine, while it possesses the advantage of being much cheaper. For a pineapple pie prepare the pineapple, chopped fine or grated, and otherwise made ready for a compote. Have a shell of nice pastry spread with a little apple sauce just enough to glaze the crust. Fill the pie-plate with pineapple and orange strips of pastry across. Bake the pie about forty-five minutes in an oven quite hot for the first fifteen minutes, and a very little more moderate for the last half hour. When the pie is removed from the oven dredge It with powdered sugar and set it back in the oven just long enough to allow the sugar to melt. Serve it cold.

THE POPE TO THE POLES. He I rge Obedience to the (onatltuted Authority. ROME. March 23. The pope's encyclial letter addressed to the bishops of Poland, Russia, Austria and Prussia, as published today. His holiness says, in brier, that the mission of the papacy is not to teach anything against the power of princes or the utility of nations, but to provide for the prosperity of all. The pope then recalls the agreement with Russia by which the position of the clergy was Immensely improved. This agreement, the pope declares, was obtained through requests directly addressed to the czar, whose spirit of friendship and justice Is highly extolled. The encyclical proceeds to exhort the bishops to avoid any spirit of hostility to the civil authority and to inculcate among the Poles the observance of the Russo-papal agreements. Addressing the catholics of Austria and Poland, the pope e?ijolns them to feel gratitude for the religious zeal of the emperor and concludes with urging the Poles in Prussia to trust to the equity of their emperor and to observe the laws. A DOUBLE MURDER. Two of the Watchmen In lie Tollenton Club Ground Killed. HAMMOND. Ind., March 21. An atrocious murder was committed at Tolleston this evening. The victims are James Conroy and William Cleary who were employed as watchmen in the Tolleston shooting club grounds. The men in some way became Involved in a quarrel with Albert Tooker and were getting the best of the argument when the latter drew a big navy pistol and fired six shots, killing both men. After the murder Tooker took to the woods. A vigilance committee was immediately organized and ten minutes later about seventy-five farmers armed with shotguns, rifles, dub3 and hay forks began scouring the woods anil swamps.

The Jury All Member of the A. P, A. and Defendant Catholic. DENVER, Col., March 23. For the first time in the history of the courts of Colorado the question of religious differences has been raised. In the case of Tim Drew and James Burns, charged with robbery. Attorney Tom Ward for the defense challenged a Juror because he was a member of the A. P. A. The challenge was overruled. He then challenged the entire Jury and found that eleven out of twelve were members of the organization. The attorney at once asked for a new venire and that the coroner's office have charge of the Jury on the ground that Sheriff Burchinall was prejudiced against the defendants because they were catholics.

SALTING THE GOLD MINE.

A $E.SATIOXAL SlIT FILED IX THE COCRT AT RICHMOND. ' Other Stale News Martin Howley Re. calves a Life Sentence for Murdering Hi Mother nt Ft. Wayne Corner Stone of a Chnrck Looted A Mysterious Disappearance at Greenfield. RICHMOND. March 23. Special. A highly sensational suit was filed today by W. E. Manley vs. A. E. Crocker and the San Javier mining company of San Javier, Mexico, to set aside $20,000 worth of real estate transferred by the plaintiff to the defendant for stock in the mine, under fraudulent presentations. The story is that A. E. Crocker, a real estate dealer of this city, went to Mexico and returned to solicit stock In a mine of fabulous richness, which he claimed hi had found there. The stock was put up and the stockholders sent a representative to Mexico to obtain specimens of the ore and have it assayed. He did so, the ore showing great richness. The complaint alleged that these samples were changed before being assayed and that the real specimens from the mine were never assayed. There was J100.000 of stock taken here and the holders of this will soon begin a concerted action to have a receiver appointed and have Mr. Crocker and his friends ousted from control. If the facts are proven as alleged they will expose a scheme that for its depth and the smoothness of Its workings could hardly be beaten. I,OOTI A COIIXER-STOXR. First Blowing It from the Foundation of n Church. COLUMBIA CITY, March 20. Special. Yesterday morning about 2 o'clock Farmer William Hopmyers, who lives six miles south of this city, was awakened by a loud explosion. He went to the window, from which he could see the German Lutheran church, and from which direction the report came. It was moonlight and he could plainly see three men at the church. Suspecting something wrong, Mr. Hopmyers took his shotgun and started for the church. When within a few rods of the building the trespassers saw him, and at once left on a run toward a swamp about a quarter of a mile away. Their pursuer ordered them to stop, and at the same time firing, but the distance was too great for the bird shot to have any effect, and the men soon disappeared in the swamp. Mr. Hopmyers notified the neighoborhood, and in an hour fifty farmers were on the scene. Upon examining- the church it was found that they had blown the corner-stone from the foundation, with the evident intention of stealing the money that was supposed to have been buried in the same when it was I n id. When they found that the stone only containe.l a few papers, a hymn book and a bibl they were' so enraged that they tore the bible into fragments. The swamp was surrounded, but the men escaped. If they are captured little mercy will be shown them. SNAKK IN V STONE. A Reptile Fourteen Indies Long; Hewn Out of n Kock. HARTFORD CITY. March 21 Special. This morning while the stone cutters were at work dressing stone for the new court hoisc one of the workmen, in splitting a large rock, found in the center a snake fourteen inches in length of a milk-whi.e color and to all appearances had been dead for the last thousand years. The day being warm his snakeship was laid in the sun and in less than twenty minutes began to show sipns of life and in an hour brgan to crawl about to the amazement and consternation of thevat throng that assembled to witness this very strange and incxplicible phenomenon. The snake has grown darker until now it is of a brown color. It has been placed in a glass jar and warm water supplied at intervals, and is as lively and as active as any othr snake in the country. It may be seen by the incredulous and skeptlcle. who imagine it to be another of Rill Harley's snake stories. C. K. lJoseker, the contractor, says to not mention his name in this report as at Ft. Wayne his word is always believed and this might seem a little, strong for even his best friends credit as truth. Of course we won't refer your readers to him. but to W. B. Fortner, our genial and truthful county treasurer, who will vouch for the verity of this snake story. AVIIEHK It E 11" D L I CA X S RILE. The Horrible Condition of the Uooue County I'onr l'nrni. LEBANON. March 21 Special. The grand jury for the March term of the Boone circuit court made its report this afternoon as to the condition of the county poor farm. The grand Jury reports a condition of affairs that is a disgrace to the county. Among other things the report says that the south end of the building is unfit for habitation by human beings, the doors and windows are rotted away, the beds and bedding are Infested with innumerable bedbugs and not only the beds and bedding are so infested, but even the woodwork whenever there is a crack, is filled with such Insects. The report further says that the proceeds of the farm have been improperly cared and accounted for. that the inmates have been cruelly treated and not provided with sufficient food. The report recommends an investigation of the entire matter. The management of the farm was changed about one week ago, at which time Theodore Haggerman, ex-superintendent, savagely attacked, an aged Inmate with a club, for which he was fined 520. It seems that Haggerman was indignant because the board refu?ed to reelect him and has taken out revenge on the property and the Inmates at the county farm. NINETY-NIXE YEARS. Mnrtln Howley'n Sentence for Kllllnjr HI Mother nt Ft. AVnyne. FT. WAYNE. March 23. Special. Last night the trial of Martin Howley for the murder of his mother was concluded and the case went to the jury. The jury remained out all night, and this morning returned a verdict of murder in the first degree, fixing the penalty at ninety-nine years' Imprisonment. The story of the crime Is brief. On Jan. 8 Howley went home and found his mother talking affectionately with one of the boarders. He became enraged and knocked her down, and he kicked her, breaking eight ribs. He then carried her Into the house and threw her against a stove, crushing her skull. Death was almost Instantaneous. The defendant did not deny any of the statements regarding the brutal assault. His attorney argued that the prisoner i had been insane for two years, but Howley's sisters and his wife testified that he was sane and that his demoniacal act was due to whisky. The murder was one of the most brutal ever j recorded in FL Wayne ! Six of the Jurors remained out for ' thirteen hours. Waiting to return, a

Yearn. BRAZIL, March 20. Special. Back in 1S25. sixty-nine years ago, in a public school over in Clermont county, Ohio, the most advanced class wes composed of seven of the oldest pupils four men and three young women from sixteen to twenty-one years of age. who have a most remarkable record for longevity. Of the number six migrated to Indiana in later years, locating in Clay, Vigo, Knox and Marlon counties. Of the seven five are yet living, the eldest of whom is Mrs. Polly Beheimer, who resides within a mile of the site of the original old log school house, now ninety years of age, and the youngest, the Hen. Isaiah Donham of Vigo county, a few years ago a member of the Indiana legislature, now eighty-four years of age. Mrs. Nancy Townley, living at Vincennes, is eighty-nine years; James Ferguson, living In Clay county, is eightyseven years, and Joe Brown, brother of Dr. Rylan T. Brown, who Is r.ow at Indianapolis, eighty-four years. Mrs. Polly Gilbert died in Clay county within the year past at eighty-six years, and Amos Laycock. in Vigo county, two years ago. aged eighty-five years. Their aggregate ages show a total of 605 years. Can a record equal to this be produced elsewhere in the United States? A MYSTKRIOIS DISAPPEARANCE. The Peculiar Absence from III Home of C'npt. Kdwurd P. Thnyer. GREEN'FIELD, March 21. Special. During the past fortnight considerable uneasiness has been felt by the many friends and relatives of Capt. Edward P. Thayer, a popular and influential citizen and a most prosperous meat dealer of this city, on account of his sudden and strange disappearance, which occurred on the morning of the Sth of this month. At his request his pretty young wife of about two summers, formerly of Frankli.i, O., accompanied him to Indainapolls, and after a long confidential conversation the captain vanished from her sight and no intelligence as to his whereabouts has been received from any source whatever since his mysterious and unaccountable absence. There can be no reason attributed for his strange actions, as he has for several years iast been prosperous in business and his family relations have been pleasant in every respect, and his immediate family Is becoming alarmed for fear that he has been foully dealt with or probably met with some misfortune. A search will be immediately instituted for his whereabouts. His most devoted wife Is heart-broken and much bewildered over the sad affair. MAIIIOV IS IV IT. An A. P. A.

An organization of the American protective association has been in existence here for some time, but the fact has not been generally known. Today the Rev. F. M. Collins, pastor of th Central Christian church, was interviewed in regard to the matter. He said he was a member, that the Organization had the largest charter membershipin the state; that it had been rapiiHy growing and had among its members swne of the most prominent men in the city; that the time and place of meetl.ig were a secret, and that the public would be surprised to know who were its members. He said the purpose was to keep sectarianism, whether methodism, pr?sbyterianism or Catholicism, out of he public schools. He added that the time would soon come when the organization would not be required to meet behind closed doors or fear to dis?lose Its membership. A HEZMHC ACTIOX. Joe Miller ReMir Mm.

In the chapters devoted to the Stock Department in Magner's Standard Horse znd Stock Book, isrst taken up breeds of cattle, dairying, and feeding, with a large number of illustrations of the different breeds of cattle. Then follow descriptions and treatment for the various diseases to which cattle are subject. A great deal of new and important matter is hero made accessible to tho fanner, which could not be obtained from any other work, as it has not before been published; special renjfcd&es and treatment hare been used as professional secrets by practitioners, and which have been proved to be especially valuable. This one department aloae on dairying and diseases of cattle comprises over 200 pages, lvith 300 illustrations. Tfilliam Larrabee, Ex-Governor of Iora, says: "I have examined with much care the "Standard Horso and Stock Book," and desire to acknowledga my high appreciation of its merits as a great work, not only for the benefit of owners oi that class of property, but for the cause of humanity. It will be invaluable for those interested in horses and cattle, and I wish every person in Iowa who owns either, could have the book at hand for consultation." The Leading: Agricultural Taper in the TYest says: Though constitutionally opposed to personally indorsing books or patents, yet "The Standard Horse and Stock Book" is a work of such rare usefulness that it is entitled to an exception. I hesitate not to give it my full and hearty indorsement. It is not a mass of unconsidered trifles, huddled together to make a cheap subscription book, but is a work of TRUE MERIT, EVERY ITEM being carefully prepared, and before publication, expertly examined, criticised, and corrected by twelve practical veterinary surgeons. No such work, embodying so much reliable and valuablo information, and so elaborately embellished, has heretofore been published by any one. Prof. D. Magner has spent the most of a valuable life in studying and managing horses, and on this subject this work is inestimable to stock owners and raisers of all classes. As such, I heartily commeud it.
