USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. ONE of the plainest indications of unsucegesstul farming is to see manure going to waste or unemployed. When this is seen there is no need looking beyond the stables and yards to find out the condition of the farm or to judge of the success of its owner, . - For a kicking horse fill an old sack with hay and suspend it from the'loft by means of a rope, in such a manner that tke horse wili be able to kick it every time it swings against him. Let him kick until he stops of his own accord and you will have no more trouble with him that way.—Ezchange. ProBABLY the very best way to protect wheat in the bins from the weevil is to thoroughly fumigate the bins with burning sulphur. . This should be done before the grain is put into the -bins, and repeated in the course of a month or so after the grain is stored. Some persons use lime and salt, but there is nothing better than sulphur.—Kansas Farmer.

. A WRITER well acquainted in dairy matters says that during the summer, in order to obtain the best results from them, milch cows ought to be fed on meal and bran. They should stand in a darkened stable between eleven and four o’clock during fly time, and within these hours they may be fed. This is far better than to let them graze during the entire day, and they will prove it by results; and when yousee a cow scratching against a tree be sure,that she needs currying. She will stand the operation as a Kitten will stand stroking. A cow needs as much currying and cleaning as a horse.

How 10 EAT MlLK.—There are many who say, “‘I like milk! but milk does not like me”’—that is, it does not agree with them. The reason for this, in most cases, is that the milk coagulates in the stomach in too firm a eurd to be easily digested. But many who cannot drink milk, or eat bread and mwilk, find no difficulty in digesting. a bowl of baked apples and milk. Upon this hint the experiment has been suc.cessfully tried by a physician of large experience telling his patients who could not digest milk to wuse apple sauce as a concomitant, ,'takin%' a spoonful of apple alternately with- a spoonful of bread, cracker or pudding and milk. The apple prevents the formation of a solid mass in the stomach, and its juice also aids digestion, so that no distress or sense of heaviness follows after a meal thus taken. This information is given for the benefit of all readers, and we think it will be worthy of trial, though, perhaps, not successful in every case.— Kansus City Times.

Now THAT harvest is over, a great many farmers find themselves with too many horses on hand. The expense of keeping a horse is thus stated by a correspondent of the New York Z'ribune, who writes from Monroe County, in that State: ¢ The horse is an expensive animal to keep. Three feeds of oats per day, of four quarts each, amount to 137 bushels per year, worth, say $4B. I estimate the hay he will consume at $5O for the same time; shoeing, $5; care $l5 at the lowest; interest on his cost (say $150) $10.50; loss by wear, increased age, and liability :to accident and disease, s7—giving $135.50 as the yearly cost of keeping one horse, from which I should deduct $lO as the value of the manure he could make. Many farm-horses are kept at half this expense, but even then the cost of keeping six will make a gap in the profits. Three good, prompt-stepping horses, well fed and cared for, will do the work of five that are aged, crippled and debilitated.”” This estimiate being true, and the care of feeding and grooming being added, the cheapest way to do appears to be to sell the animal, and buy again next spring when needed. It is true that horses will be dear next spring, and that they are cheap now; but the cost of feed, we believe, more than makes up the difference.— Cor. Chicago Tribune. e ( :

Nonsense (%) About Hogs. WE have said that our experience in breeding and feeding swine has made us a little skeptical as to the possibility of making big pigs on little feed; that our own pigs, no matter what the breed, nor whether thoroughbred, cross. or grades, could ever be persuaded, flattered, or bull-dozed into making rapid growth, maturing early, or laying on vast quantities.of fat or flesh, without an abundance of food of good quality judiciously fed. We might have added, also, that our observation has tended to strengthen and confirm this skepti- : cism. Itisstill a custom, you know, | one of the relics of barbarism, perhaps, among farmers to ‘‘drop in’ ‘on a neighbor or acquaintarnce occasionally without sending a card or blowing a horn to announce your coming. And when we make one of these unheralded visits to some friendly breeder, who has the best breed in the world, and the best specimens of ‘that best breed, the breed that makes the most pork from the least feed (for he has “proved it” all, and knows), and whose pigs at the fairs are already ‘¢ just taken up off the grass’’ and during their younger days received no extra feed more than the dishwater and may be a little bran in it, and on lookinF around find several gig—t’roughs filled with a milky-looking fluid, eovering agood depth of yellow sediment, and ranged about the slop barrel five pailfuls of milk and oneof ¢ dishwater” and the pine floors thickly sown with corn, while we cannot question our friend’s assertion as to the very small amount of feed his pigs consume, we must confess our doubts are not removed, and can only interpret the facts by supposin%that our ideas of quantity differ. Much to: one may bhe %ittle to another. . P

Our friend, the village grocer, soon after the Poland-Chinas were intro. duced here, procured a pig of that breed. . Being: something of a curiosity, it attracted ' a good deal of attention, and the owner delighted to show his pig, and was very voluble in pointing out and explaining its good points and valuable gualit,ies. Every customer was invited out to see that'pig. It %rrew a.muinglg fast, and was very fat. isitors (fraise it, and the owner was dehighted. When the question of feed was raised, he complained that the only

fault he could find with that pig was its want of appetite. It eat almost nothing. Fed regularly three times a day, a.%ittle corn and a little slops. It ‘was soon observed that both slop barrel and corn-crib were on the path to the pig-pen and lot,.and some ill-na-< tured fe{)low further observed that every time a visitor was taken out to see that pig (which occurred from one toa dozen times daily) a bucket of slop or an ear or two of corn was necessary to induce it to show off. The boys took the hint, and perhaps called unnecessarily often to see the pig that grew so fast and kept so fat, and yet eat so little, and of course never failed to express their wonder and astonishment. Well, of course, like the preacher’sbull calf that sucked two cows, it made a—well, let us.say a tremendous beast. We don’t recollect the weight, but our friend, we believe, is fully persuaded to this day that he raised the biggest pig on. the least feed ever heard of, and would be willing to affirm that the P.-C.’s are theincomparable breed. I haven’t fed those pigs a bucket of slop or an ear of corn during the summer,” said an exhibiter at a fair to several of us who were admiring a pen of splendid pigs, .large for their age, -fat and sleek; ¢ just took them out of pasture and brought them to the grounds.”” What could we do but compliment the breed that could produce such ‘pigs under sueh circumstances, ask the price, and—wish we were able to buy a_pair? ¢ Fine pigs, those are,’] said his neighbor, coming along after the gentleman had gone; ‘ ‘“‘ought to be; plenty of cows; fine clover field; storm blowed corn down badly; hole in the fence; don’t know whether he or the pigs did it; don’t seem to care; pigs playing the mischief: down there for more’'n a month past; fine (Eigs, mister.”” - And then he vanished like a dream, 'not even giving us time to ask if he didn’t raise the ¢ other breed.”” You, my good friends, are perhaps sorrowfully aware that there is such a thing as telling the exact truth without telling the ¢¢ whole of it. No, no, kind reader, it's all nonsense. Granted there are great differences in the feeding qualities of difterent pigs, that some will convert a larger proportion of their food into flesh and fat than others. Yet the best we have ever known were not capable of making very much out of very little. The problem of making something out of nothing, like that of perpetual motion; has not yet been solved, and the breed of hogs that will grow rapidly, fatten, and make great weights at an early age, by being fed on dishwater during their pighood and water and grass afterward, has not been established, and we hardly think that any amount of ¢ judicious breeding’’ will accomplish sucha result. ‘“Light feed,”” ‘‘moderate keeping,’” ‘‘ordinary care,”” don’t make pigs weigh three hundred pounds at nine months -oid; nevertheless, good. friends, we put that interrogation point up there in the caption, and you are welcome to say that our view is the ‘“ nonsense’’ part of it.— Cor. Practical Farmer.

: Working Cattle and Horses. Lo - THE question is often asked, why do not farmers use cattle more for farm work, since they are kept at so much less expense than horses? The reason is, they are not more cheaply fed considering the amount of labor performed, and they are too slow to allow their use to become universal, when labor is scarce and consequently high. The horse consumes his feed, grinding it thoroughly, and it immediately undergoes the process of digestion, while at werk; not so the ox. The food is roughly masticated, passes into the first stomach, is there still further softened and macerated, and passes into the second stomach. It is then raised, chewed, and, being again swallowed, passes into'the third stomach; true digestion begins, and, when received into the fo&'th, the true digestive stomach, the process is continued by mixture with the gastric fluid from its walls, and is converted into chyme; it then passes out and enters the first bowel, where it receives the secretion from the pancreas and the liver, and then becomes -chyle. Passing along the bowels, the nutriment is constantly absorbed by the numerous ducts and by them passed into the blood, by which :g is distributed to keep up the wear and tear of the body, and build up new struetures where the labor is not so severe as to constantly exhaust the food which is supplied. s

From this it will be seen that, although the horse consumes more time in taking his food than the ox, when once taken the animal is ready to labor until this sustenance is assimilated, and the force given by it consumed. With the ox it is different. He must have time to re-chew his food, or ruminate. At slow work, if not exhaustive, this may be, and often. is, performed while at labor, if of such a kind as to afford resting spells, but if this labor be continued and heavy, as in plowing, etc., the animal is prevented from ruminating until at rest. For this reason, an ox should never be employed for more than five or six hours each day in exhaustive labor, leaving three hours for gathering its food, if grass, and an equal time for rumination; this with its labor and twelve hours’ rest occupies the twenty-four hours of the day; for the ox, unlike the horse, cannot rest without lying down. The horse, on the other hand, when at work is fed on concentrated food, oats and 'corn, with what ‘hay may be necessary for a divisor to this food. 'The animal will require from one-half to three-quarters of an hour to properly masticate each mess of grain, the hay being principally consumed during night, and in the early morring before feedin%] time. If fed only on grass, or ha{, e will perform no more work than the ox, for nes\.x'l}z7 the whole time is consumed in gathering food enough to support the animal economy. The stomach of the horse is small, and eating and digestion go on simultaneously. Therefore, in all new countries; where grass is plenty and grain is scarce, oxen are generally used; but as soon as the farmer is able to procure grain enough to feed horses, or mule-teams, oxen are quickly ‘abandoned for horses, except for slow

work, as hauling fodder, carting manure and other labor of that kind for which they are always available. If, however, cattle are fed liberally with meal or other concentrated food they will Le found to do nearly as much work one day with another at plowing, harrowing and other slow work as horses, for in this case so much time is. not spent for rumination, and the food being. prepared readily, so much time is not taken in eating. Indeed, we have known cattle so fed for a considerable length of time to perform fully as much work in cool weather at plowing, etc., as horses, and then there is this additional advantage that, when disabled for active wor%:, they are fit for human food. e

We think ' that, on a great many farms, one yoke .of cattle might be profitably employed to each two or three pairs of horses, for there is a variety of work that they may perform to good advantage, but if so kept they should be liberally fed, for any animal forced to perform labor at the expense of flesh and muscle alreadylaid on does so at a loss to the owner.— Western Rural. £

- "Comblnation Costumes., COMBINATION costumes are to be the rule, for Pompadour silks and brocades require a graver background to bring out their real beauty. As already stated, Pekin is to be the favorite trimming for woolen suits. Plaids alsowill be much used for the same purpose. Skirts will continue to be made on a foundation. A pretty suit for early fall is of fawn-colored summer camels’ hair combined with black velvet. The front breadth and the scant flounce around the short skirt are of velvet. The overskirt opens in front, curtainwise, and, with all the fullness drawn to the back, is much bunched up behind. The bodice is a double-breasted jacket with velvet revers, cuffs, and collar and velvet belt and silver-mounted bag. The edges of the overskirt and of the basque are finished with machine stitching. Except for the simplest morning dresses sleeves are made elbow-long, or at least half way between the wrist and elbow,where a ruflle of the dress material or of lace, or of both, finishes them. Consequently three-button gloves are at a discount, since fashion calls for gloves to megt the sleeves. For evening dresses, which have no sleeves to speak of, the gloves are long, very long, and reach almost to the shoulder. With these last are worn the new spiral serpent bracelets, which coil round and round the arm. Most of them are of silver, but a few handsome ones glitter with enameled scales or are jeweled with diamond eyes. Lace mitts to match the dress in shade are much liked, and new kid gloves have horizontal bands of lace inserting let in at intervals of an inch. Short dresses are to ke the accepted style for the street, and trained dresses, even, are made. short in front. Consequently great attention is paid to the foot-gear. Stockings are works of art—silk or the finest Lisle thread—clocked on the instep and up the front. Others are daintily embroidered, and some have clocks of Valenciennes let in. In Paris stockings are sent home to match dresses, and clocks displaying two colors of marked contrast. Lozenges crossing each other are a favorite: design, or a broad gusset of some distinguished tone is let in and bordered with a scroll. Embroidered shoes are worn upon full-dress occasions. They are made of French kid, laced just over the instep, the toe embroidered, and the soles much thicker than they appear by reason of the beveled edge recently introduced. When having a walking-suit made, ladies often reserve enough for a pair of shoes,. and have them made to order to match the dress. Such shoes are usually foxed with kid and finished at the top with a bow or tassels to match the trimmings of the dress.—Philadelphia Times.

RemMeEMBER that the sunshine is a good medicine, but that it is liable to kill in over-doses. A cabbage or a plantain leaf in the hat of a laborer, or a sun-umbrella in the hand of one not. used to out-of-door exercise, may prevent sun-stroke.—Dr. Foole’s Health Monthly. o ——— . A ¥Eint to Workingmen. 5 The honest workingmen of the couutry, many of whom havelarge and increasing families to support, have been the chief sufferers from the great financial pressure under- which ‘we have labored for the-last few years. Diminished wages have not been attended by a corresponding .diminution in price of everything which the workingman needs. Rents, fuel, food and clothing are cheaper, but these do not constitute all his necessities. It is sometimes necessary for him to employ a lawyer or a physician, yet the fee rates of physicians and lawyers are as high as they were in * flush” times. Yet cheap medicines are as necessary as cheap rents or fuel. Cheap medicines are not necessarily poor medicines. It must be obvious to every intelligent person that medicines, compounded and put up at wholesale, can be sold at much lower rates than when retailed from the doctor’s pill bags. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets have completely. restored persons who had spent hundreds of dollars in vainly seeking relief from private practitioners, and all at a very slight expeanditure. : THE reason why medical practitioners:do not hesitate to grescribe Dr. F. Wilhoft’s Anti-Periodic or Fever and Ague Tonic is as follows: Messrs. Wheelock, Finlay & Co., of New Orleans,. its pro;k)lrietors, have published its composition, and physicians have approved it because it contains no dangerous drug, and because it invariably proves successful. It is for sale by all Druggists. \ ArL who have used National Yeast say it “makes whiter, sweeter and better bread, biscuits, etc., than any other yeast.

Dr. Clark Johnson having associated himself with Mr. Edwin Eastman, an escaped captivé, long a slave to Wakamet:klati the medicine man of the Comanches, is now prepared to lend his aid in the introduction of the wonderful remedy of that tribe. ! 3 The experience of Mr. Eastman being similar to that of Mrs. Chas. Jones and son, of Washingten Count{. Towa, an account of whose suflerings were thrillingly narrated in the New York Herald of_Dec. 15th, 1878, the facts of which are se widely known, and so nearly parallel, that but little mention of Mr. Eastman’s exPerlence_s will be given here. They are, however, pubished in a neat volume of 300 pages, entitled *Seven and Nine Years Among: the Comanches and Apaehesi: of which mention will be made hereafter. Suffice it say that for several years Mr. Eastman, while a captive, was compelled to gather the roots, gums, barks, herbs and berries -of which Wakametkla’s medicine was made, and is still prepared to provide the SAME materials for the successful’ introduction. of the medicine to the world ; and assures the public that the remedy is the same. now as when Wakametkla compelled him to make jt : v (ih . - i X e v Y LN o < (Y B om . . ob~ - R o . < vl 1 L 9 \\ i G [—%-- &=» h e Lo v RN & t " w “ O\ // o oy N\ it 2 92Z W £ AN o < N\ sz o &S N\ i 149 Sz 9/ &S \' VRS S S s e N 7 o> LL:I ‘/ R ‘/,/_.; [sa) : g (SR S oo b~ R e e NN =D SE ANN 2 & R N A (AN ™ = 3 e '@ “::':3:};7:'3“.‘3% Ah < Q- TR \w‘ AR = 2 S e—wladNaes. @ & AN SR RS L & 'x B e OMENNIRY - N \\\\\ NtV S, O AN EEE AN B NN AR LR TR A TR . : \\\\\Qfg\\\%\\i\‘/fi\Q\\\\\ ANN AN \:\\\« .1-/ " ; » > Wakametkla, the Medicine Man., Nothing has been added to-the medicine and nothinghas been taken away. 1t is without doubt the Best PuURIFIER of the BLOOD and RENSWER of the SYSTEM ever Known to man. 5 3 Thig Syrup possesses varied properties.
