BY IDA ALBRO.
'There, school is out," sighed weary
Mrs. Thompson, as she heard a distant
clamoring of children's voices. Boon
three lusty boys came running into the
house, making muddy tracks on the clean
kitchen floor.
"Mother, why hain't youjpot supper
ready?" Arthur, the oldest, Iretfully de
manded. " It is too bad, boys, but there has
seemed to be no end to the work to-day,"
replied Mrs. Thompson from the pantry,
feeling genuine pity for her poor hungry
children, who had eaten nothingjsince the
afternoon recess, when they ate the re
mainder of their bountiful dinner. " I
ought to have quit olTand started supper
before, but 1 bad no idea that it was get
ting to be so late."
44 Yes, that's the same old story," said
Arthur. 44 1 don't care it's just as father
Bays. A woman ain't good tor anything
without an overseer to make her 'tend to
her business."
Just then Mrs. Thompson entered the
kitchen and, dismayed at the appearance
of the lloor upon which she had expended
so much strength in cleaning, exclaimed:
40h, boys! how could you? Go right
out and clean your feet."
44 1 shan't clean my feet," said Arthur,
defiantly, evidently meaning to retaliate
because supper was not ready.
44 1 shan't clean my feet," echoed Lewis,
who looked upon his elder brother as a
model from which his own conduct should
be fashioned.
44 1 shan't clean my feet," re echoed lit
tle Fred, balancing himself on his head,
and all at once his head went against the
plate of biscuit in his mother's hands,
sending it into a pail of sour milk that
stood near the door.
Mrs. Thompson did not attempt the re
monstrance that duty usually impelled her
to make at the misconduct of her chil
dren, but her head grew dizzy, and her
heart was burdened with another pain as
she thought that now her husband wouid
surely return from his work before she
could get supper ready.
Mr. Thompson was a man who looked
upon his wife as upon his other posses
sions. If properly managed, she might
prove an advantage to him. She must be
taught to know her place. 44 There's no
end to the foolish things a woman will
do if allowed to have her head about
everything," was a favorite expression of
his, A woman who has been so unfortu
nate as to become the wife of such a man
should have not a desire or purpose in
life more than a machine that never feels
fatigue and never needs repairs.
But, unfortunately, Mrs. Thompson
yearned for affection that never was
shown her, and grew weary and disheart
ened over tasks that would have seemed
light had they been performed with the
consciousness of her husband's love and
appreciation. Mr. Thompson never gave
his wife any encouragement, but he re
proached her frequently. lie seemed to
hold the same opinion about women that
some possess about dogs. The more you
will kick them the better they will like
you and the more faithfully they will
serve you. He did occasionally praise
her, but it was much in the same manner
that a man pats his faithful dog upon the
head and calls him 44 Good fellow!" for
doing his master's bidding.
Mrs. Thompson loved her children
dearly, but she possessed little influence
over them. She was not born to rule,
save by love, and her affection manifested
itself not in caresses, not in spoken words
of endearment, but in working for her
loved ones in doing what she thought
would please them. The children were
very anxious to imitate their father.
They had caught his actions, his very
feelings toward their mother, and thought
lessly trampled upon the heart that
seemed to beat for them. Mrs. Thomp
son saw that her children were drifting
out of her reach, that they were growing
up without a mother's influence, yet she
felt that she had done all she could to
make things different. And she had ; for
it is just as impossible for such timorous,
dependent beings to assert their rights as
it is for the timid hare to take upon itself
at will the strength and ferocity of the
king of beasts. Some unexpected cir
cumstance might effect a change for Mrs.
Thompson, but with her own unaided
strength she could do nothing to get out
of the rut in which she was toiling and
suffering.
When returning from his work Mr.
Thompson met a neighbor with whom he
stopped and had a long talk, so that he
found his supper awaiting him when he
reached the house. Husband and chil
dren were soon rapidly satisfying their
hunger, but Mrs. Thompson could not
eat- She was sitting in her accustomed
place, and they were eating in their usual
manner, yet the clatter of the knives,
their rapid motions, all seemed so strange
and far away to her.
Mr. Thompson did not notice that his
wife was not eating. He did not notice
how pale she looked, or the trembling of
her hand as she passed them food. His
supper finished he hastened out to do his
chores. Mrs. Thompson did not get her
work 44 out of the way" as soon as usual
that night, and when it was done she
thought the extent of her strength was
reached at last. Was she going to be
sick, or was it only her discouragement
that made her feel so T She was on the
point oX telling her husband about her
being so tired that she did not feel well,
as he sat in the doorway smoking his
pipe so contentedly, but he suddenly
asked a question that caused all thoughts
of sympathy from him to be dispersed.
4 Did you finish those pants to-day ?"
" No," she replied, with a little "start.
"There's been so much else to do I
couldn't get time to sew any."
44 Do you suppose I am going to wear
these all summer?" said he, glancing
down at his thick, woolen trousers. 44 If
those pants ain't done to-morrow I shall
know the reason why." So saying, he
got up and started toward the door.
44 Keep those young ones from tearing the
house down," was his parting injunction
as he passed out the gate. Mrs. Thomp
son was spared this warfare, for the chil
dren were tired with hard play and soon
went to bed, leaving her with naught bat
her own thoughts for company. They
were unpleasant and unwholesome com
panionship, yet she could not drive them
awav. She thought of the work that
must be done to-morrow. There was the
churnincr. She must not let the cream
stand another day, for she would suffer
from her husband' reproaches if he did
not tret the highest market price for his
butter. She would have a great deal of
baking to do, for Mr. Thompson Had en
gaged three or four men to work for him
a few days. M I shall have no time to sew
to-morrow," thought she. 44 There's no
other way; I must make them to-night."
She lit a candle and fiat down to her
evening's task. Slowly the needle crept
in and out through the coarse, blue cloth,
but the harassing thoughts came swiitly
and reveled in her brain until it seemed
as though she would go wild. She
thought of what her mother had often
said to her when she was 44 keeping com
pany with James Thompson: "Jameshas
such queer ideas of womanhood, I fear he
will make your life unhappy. He seems
to think a wife should be strongly fenced
within the bounds of her husband's law,
or she will become an enemy to his pros
perity and happiness. "When I hear a
young man telling how he would bring
them 4 to time' if he had such and such
women to deal with, I think it is a sure
sign that he will be either a brute or a
coward a brute if he marry a gentle,
sensitive creature a coward if he marry a
vixen."
Mrs. Thompson remembered how she
regarded all such sentiments of his as
uttered only in jest, and she went from
her father's house, where she had never
suffered from an unkind word, trusting
him perfectly. But her mother had been
right In her estimate of the man. How
she yearned for her advice and sympathy
now! But she must bear her burden
silently, for her mother had long been
beyond the reach of earthly care and sor
row. But oh, how could she go on in this
way, without the love of her children,
without any influence over them! She
thought there was something about her
self that incurred their dislike, not think
ing that their conduct was the result of
the training they had received, or their
lack of training on her part Of course
the children cared for her, and would
know it if she were to leave them forever.
But Mrs. Thompson did not think of this.
She looked upon her life as useless. She
told herself that she could not help it if it
were wrong; she longed for the time to
come when her weary hands would be
crossed to rest in the grave.
The clock struck eleven ere the last
stitch .was taken, and Mrs. Thompson
crept wearilj to bed, thinking that she
must go right to sleep in order to become
sufficiently rested for the next day's work.
Mr. Thompson spent the evening merrily
at Benson's, playing cards with the boys.
44 There's nothing like being right up
and down with wemen folks," said he to
himself with self-satisfaction, as he saw
the trousers hanging across the back of a
chair. Thinking that his wife was asleep
he said not a word, but went to bed and
was soon sleeping soundly. But Mrs.
Thompson had become too excited to
easily forget her troubles in unconscious
ness. And when at last, long after mid
night, sleep came to her, in her dreams
she lived over again the trials of the day,
only the bitter pain seemed to have been
doubled.
In the morning Mrs. Thompson was
not up at her usual hour. And when Mr.
Thompson and the boys came in with the
milk there was no sign of breakfast. The
stove was cold. Mrs. Thompson was not
in sight. Mr. Thompson went to the
bedroom door and saw that his wife had
not yet arisen. The thought did
not occur to him that she might be sick;
but he remembered that it was late when
she went to bed and he thought she had
overslept herself.
44 Ain't you going to get us any break
fast to-day ?" he asked.
Mrs. Thompson started up at the sound
of his voice and replied meekly, in
strange contrast with her wild looks,
44 Yes, it wiil be ready in a few minutes."
Then she sank back on her pillow and
murmured that she must get to sleep or
she could not go through with the work
to-morrow.
Then it was evident to Mr. Thompson
that her work was 44 through with" for
many days to come. The milk was left
unstrained and unskimmed ; the pigs
went unfed; there were no preparations
for breakfast; but Mr. Thompson sent for
Mrs. Blond to come while he went for a
doctor.
In her delirium Mrs. Thompson gave
expression to the melancholy thoughts
that were making her life so miserable.
She would cry piteously that no one cared
for her that she could not go on in this
way. She would pray wildly to God to
do something to make things different
She would call her children by name and
entreat them to tell her why they did not
love her.
One pleasant day the children were all
out on the sunny side of an old building
used for various purposes. They were
not at play. They found no enjoyment
in their usual sports. The father said
nothing about their going to school, and
they went or stayed at home, just as they
pleased. They missed the nice dinners
that their mother prepared for them, for
Mrs. Blond did not get time to attend to
all their wants. Arthur stood with his
hands in his pockets, leaning against the
building. Lewis sat looking thoughtful
ly down upon the ground ; presently he
looked up into his brother's face and
said, in a hushed and wistful voice :
44 Arthur, did you hear what mother
said?"
44 Yes," he replied, and turned about
and leaned his side against the wall, as
though the subject were an unwelcome
one.
44 She thinks we don't care anything
for her," persisted Lewis.
44 1 know one thing," said Arthur,
speaking with an effort, 44 if mother ever
does get well I shall use her better,
whether father does or not," and he
walked away, ashamed of the tears that
would come.
The other children soon followed, but
Mr. Thompson remained inside the old
building, where he stood by his pen of
fine Sutfolks, not to estimate the number
of pounds of pork he could sell in the
autumn, but because he could not set
himself to work, and he wandered
about aimlessly when not attending to his
chores or waiting upon his sick wife.
"If mother ever does get well I shall
use her better, whether father does or
not."
Mr. Thompson started like a guilty one
as he heard these words, for they were the
confirmation of something that had been
slowly forcing itself upon his mind since
he had listened to his wife's ravings. He
had treated her in such a manner that
even his children saw that he did not
treat her well. He thought that he had
never intended to be unkind. Yet
he could not deny, even to himself,
that he had been thoughtless and
unfee'Xng. He had always treated
her as though she were dependent
upon him ; but had she not done as much
for him as he had done for her? Year
after year she had toiled and helped him
pay for his broad and fertile farm, and in
return for it all he had grudgingly dealt
out to her the clothing that she positively
needed. She could claim nothing as the
representation of her labor, except the
love of those for whom she had toiled.
Mr. Thompson felt that there had been
nothing in his conduct to assure her that
she had even this repayment. He could
now see how such a nature as hers would
suffer from a lack of kind and affection
ate treatment. He remembered her as
she was in the days of their courtship. It
seemed almost impossible that his pale,
careworn wife could once have been the
blithesome Bertha Wescott, who had at
tracted him with her beauty and sweet,
childlike ways. With what perfect trust
she had given her happiness into his
keeping! Could he wonder that she now
looked upon her life as useless, when all
her labor of love had been met with re
proaches because she did not labor hard
er? 44 Why, I haven't used her as veil
as I have my horses," he exclaimed, 44 for
I've had some consideration for them
when they were tired."
Mr. Thompson's determinations were
usually hasty and inflexible. As he stood
there a determination was born in his
heart, one that would not die out when
all danger was over, that, if kind treat
ment in the future would atone for the
unkindness of the past, he would make a
complete atonement. But he was har
assed by the terrible fear that he would
never have the opportunity of canceling
the past in this way. She might never
get well. He could not stand there and
endure this thought for a moment, but
rushed away to her bedside as though his
presence there would prevent such a
catastrophe befalling him. He felt as
though there was a crisis in his own
life when the fever left his wife so white
and still. And when she awoke from the
death-like slcepand the doctor, who was
standing by.said she would live, the great
burden that was lifted from off his soul
left him faint and weak, and he went out
in the clear night air, where the very stars
seemed twinkling down with joy and
sympathy for him, and there, in his great
thankfulness, he knelt down and, for the
first time in hia life, tried to pray. He
tried to thank God for hLg awakening.
Mrs. Thompson's first thought after
comprehending that she had been ill
was that after all no change had come.
She would soon be able to go about the
house and then everything would go on
in the old wi y. Often afterward she won
dered how she could have been so
wicked, as she lay there scarcely nearer
life than death, as to desire to leave her
children wilhout a mother's care and ten
derness. She never took up the old bur
den the burden of thankless toil with
the feeling that bo one cared for her.
Long betore she got well she
felt that she had made a great mistake in
thinking that her husband and children
did not love her. It was a happy time
for her when she was able to resume her
labors, or that portion of them that her
husband would allow her to resume. Of
course she was often tired after her day's
work was done, but there is such a differ
ence when the weariness of the body is
not also accompanied by the weariness
born of discouragement.
As Mr. Tnompaon saw his wife again
about the house, making their home so
pleasant and cheerful, he learned what
joy there is in thankfulness. He was
tkankful, not only because she had not
left their home forever, but also because
she had returned to him the Bertha of
long ago.
Mrs. Thompson's prayer was answered.
Her life was made different. Yet she felt
that the change was in a great measure
wrought in herself. When everything
goes smoothly we forget that those we
love have ever been unkind to us. And
so Mrs. Thompson remembered naught of
the bitterness of the past excepting her
gieat mistake in giving way to those
morbid thoughts, instead of doing her
duty cheerfully and uncomplainingly.
Her home was pervaded with a healthier
atmosphere, in which her children would
attain to a nobler manhood. They
seemed just as anxious to imitate their
father, but his conduct was in all respects
more worthy of imitation. His life had
also been made different made different
by that change which comes when all
worldly desires are superseded by the de
sire to do right lroiu love of Him whose
tender mercy is over all. Rural New
Yorker.
Poultry on the Farm.
Poultry management undoubtedly be
longs to the small artillery of farming op.
eration, which in the generality ol in
stances might be brought into play much
more extensively and powerfully than it
is. Common fowls are calculated to yield
greatest returns, and where there is plenty
of water ducks are likewise profitable.
Turkeys are rather delicate and difficult
to rear, and geese are destructive birds to
corn-stacks and grain fields, which ren
ders their adoption unadvisable except in
marsh districts, or where grass lands sur
round the homestead. But common fowls
are seldom out of place under any circum
stances, provided only they are sufficient
ly well fed, and no kind ot stock will pay
fbr good feeding more than fowls. When
they lay four or five times a week, or
even every other day, the drain must
be immense on their internal organisms,
such as to render ample and good nutri
ment particularly desirable. In fact, such
abundant egg-production cannot be long
sustained withoufit, and the reason some
people make so much larger profits from
keeping fowls than others do arises
in nine cases out of ten lrom the nature
of the feeding. Sorts, of course, have
something to do with the matter, but the
best kind, deserving more fully the ap
pellation 44 everlasting layers," cannot go
on producing without the machinery of
production be kept adequately sustained.
On the other hand the worst species that
ever appeared before the barn-door, by
high feeding, may be made to lay abund
antly. When it is considered how short
a period it takes a fowl in full laying to
yield eggs of an equal weight to herself
all this will appear very evident.
Not only should fowls be fed well, bu
with a variety of different kinds of no)
tritive substances. They are in their na
tures partly gramnivorous and partly car
nivorous. Experience proves the utility
of giving them plenty of animal food, for
the sustenance of their powers of egg
production largely depends thereon. Any
offal, such as the carcassesof horses, cows
or sheep that have been lost on the farm
cannot be converted to better account than
to be made food for fowls. If the car
casses decompose they are not less valua
ble for the purpose, as they breed
maggots, which are most delicate mor
sels for gallinaceous appetites. Grubs
and worms of all kinds are most
largely sought for and devoured by these
feathered tribes, which is the reason
they are so frequently found exploring
dunghills and heaps of loose rubbish and
earth, or, when there is nothing of this
kind to explore, scratching the surface of
the ground with their feet. This natural
inclination is so strongly marked that it
should be catered for studiously by those
who would make the highest returns
from poultry-keeping. Where the arable
fields are contiguous to the homestead,
fowls have been frequently known to fol
low the plow in search for grubs and
worms, just as rooks do. By narrowly
watching this useful proclivity, some
farmers have tried to turn fowls to gcod
account as grub destroyers, by having
portable houses for them, which may
be moved about on wheels to the spots
wherever fallowing and cultivation are
being proceeded with. The fowls
get attached to their house, which, if
moved when they are roosting there at
night, carries them along with it, and
proves a veritable traveling caravan. Not
only are fowls by this system made useful
scavengers to the farm in destroying pests
to agriculture, but an additional .advan
tage is obtained in the capability of re
moving them quite away from the neigh
borhood of the grain fields, when ripen
ing for harvest. These, not unfrequently,
are contiguous to the homestead, and in
such cases have been known to sustain
serious injury from fowls, to prevent
which farmers have often found it neces
sary to imprison this portion of their
stock in an old barn, or some other build
ing, until the grain is gathered in.
Fowls require vegetable food likewise,
for which reason, wherever they have no
paddock, orchard or open fields to roam
about in and help themselves, green refuse
of some kind or other should be thrown
to them. Cabbage leaves, potato peelings,
weeds, hedge clippings or anything of a
similar nature will do. Without abund
ant serving of grain of some sort they can
scarcely be expected to thrive ; but arable
farmers usually have a great deal of tail
corn that can scarcely be utilized in any
other way. Fowls act as scavengers, too,
in other ways besides destroying worms
and grubs, as they pick out and devour
immense quantities of small seeds of
weeds from the chaffof corn winnowings,
which otherwise would get mixed up
with the farmyard manure and be carted
back to the fields for production. Exeter

Chafing of Infants. Q. C. Smith, M.
D., writes to the Pacific Medical and
Surgical Journal that he values bismuth
verv highly as a preventive of chafing,
and" sayt : 44 Take sub-nitrate of bismuth,
in fine powder, and put in a thin flannel
bag, and use as the old nurses use the old
style 44 starch bag" in dusting over the
chafed parts, or those parts that are like
ly to or have already become sore from
any cause whatever. Should the parts be
too tender for the use of the powder in
this way, it should be sprinkled on plen
tifully. The good effect will, in many
instances, manifest itself very quickly
after the application. I hae found bis
muth an excellent external remedy for

more or less superficial ulcerated sur

USEFUL AND SUGGESTITE.
Jersey Waffles. Two pounds of
flour, one quart of milk, four eggs, well
beaten, and two ounces of melted butter.
Beat the eggs, stir in the milk and butter;
then add the flour. Beat the butter till
smooth, and add yeast enough to make it
rise.
Italian Beefsteak. Score a steak
transversely with a sharp knife, cutting it
through. Lay it in a stew-pan with a
small piece of butter; season with pepper
and salt and an onion chopped fine. Let
it cook then three quarters of an hour in
its own gravy, and serve hot.
Worcestershire Sauce. A corre
spondent of the London Garden gives a
recipe for this popular sauce. He says :
44 1 do not ofler it as Lea & Perrin's, but
I do say that it is equal, if not superior, to
it in my opinion: It is not a recipe
copied out of a booK, but one I have
known a long time: Half a pound shal
lots; one ounce pimento, powdered; one
half ounce mace, powdered; one-fourth
ounce cayenne; half a nutmeg, powdered;
one-fourth pound anchovy fish ; one ounce
salt; three pints vinegar; six ounces soy.
Chop or bruise the shallots, beat up the
anchovy fish, mix all together, let it stand
for a month or so, and lastly strain
through a coarse sieve."
StrawberrtPuddino Sauce. -Take
small fruit or bruised fruit, or any that is
left from the table, or any that will not
keep well until you wish to use it, place
in a closely-covered porcelain-lined sauce
pan on the stove, with barely water
enough to cover the fruit, and stew gently
for three minutes after it begins to boil.
Then strain through a cloth or through a
hair-sieve, sweeten the juice to the taste,
return to the fire and scald the sugar in,
and, if desired, thicken with a very little
corn starch or arrowroot, not more than
one teaspoonful to a quart of the juice.
If this juice makes the sauce stronger
than you need, reduce it with water. Use
it for boiled rice, corn starch, boiled fruit
puddings, or any other pudding with
which it harmonizes.
In one of his Boston lectures Dr.
Brown-Sequard gave the following sim
ple means for checking coughing, sneez
ing, etc. : 44 Coughing can be stopped by
pressing on the nerves of the lip in the
neighborhood of the nose. A pressure
there may prevent a cough when it is be
ginning. Sneezing may be stopped by
the same mechanism. Pressing also in
the neighborhood of the ear may stop
coughing. It is so, also, of hiccough, but
much less so than for sneezing or cough
ing. Pressing very hard on the top of
the mouth, inside, is also a means of
stopping coughing. And I may say that
the will has immense power there. There
was a French surgeon who used to say,
whenever he entered the wards of his hos
pital, 4 The first patient who coughs here
wiil be deprived of food to-day.' It was
exceedingly rare that a patient coughed
then."
44 Daisy Eyebiuqht," in the Country
Gentleman, gives the following directions
for canning strawberries and making
strawberry jelly : At the commencement
of the strawberry season make two or
three quarts of white sugar into a thick
sirup by dissolving it in hot water, two
coffeecupfuls to a quart. Boil and skim
this and put into a jug or bottles for
future use. Put your ripe, fresh straw
berries into glass cans and fill up with
cold sirup nearly to the brim, as the
strawberries shrink somewhat. Place in
a kettle of cold water, putting the lids
on the tops of the cans first, but not
screwing them down. Let them come to
a boil slowly; boil for five minutes; then
screw down the covers tightly, and set
away in a dark, cool place.
What is in tiie Bedroom. The im
portance of ventilating bedrooms is a
fact in which everybody is vitally inter
ested, and which few properly appre
ciate. If two men are to occupy a bed
room during a night let them step upon
weighing-scales as they retire and then
again in the morning, and they will find
that their actual weight is at least a
pound less in the morning. Frequently
there will be a loss of one or two pounds,
and the average loss throughout the year
will be more than one pound; that is,
during the night there is a loss of a
pound of matter, which has gone oft
from their bodies, from the lungs partly
and partly through the pores of the skin.

Breaking Colts.
The colt should be noticed from the
time it is a day or two old; let the dam
find out at this period that you will not
hurt her young, and she will soon lay
aside that shyness which instinct teaches
her at this time. Handle the colt daily
by gently rubbing his face, then patting
it gently Ah the back; continue this prac
tice until it is four months old, then pro
cure a good halter (not a bridle, for its
mouth is too tender to bear a bit), and let
one person hold firmly the lash whilst
another puts on and properly adjusts the
halter. Let the rein be securely held, as
this is the critical time of subservience,
and a little firmness and precaution may
prevent future trouble ; as soon as the colt
discovers it is overpowered it will cease
to struggle. Still teach it that you do not
wish to hurt it, and after treating it as
above directed twice or thrice you may
lead it at will. At about two years old
you can bridle it, and lead it either to
water or to pasture, especially if the dam
be led before. The writer has raised colts
that could not jump at all, by keeping
good gates to his pastures, though the
mare was capable of a vast deal of
mischief. At about three years old the
saddle may be used, and a small, active
boy can begin to ride it a mile or two, in
company with other horses of the
farm. At leisure times the plow harness
or wagon gear should be placed on it, af
ter which it should be led around the stable-yard,
and under shelter, if on a rainy
day. And liow comes the most important
period in the life of the colt, which is to
determine whether or not it will ever
make that most valuable of all animals, a
good family horse. To insure this, both
the practice and the observation of the
writer go to establish the fact that ninety
nine out of one hundred young horses,
with care and a little patience, will work
well if first hitched in light harness by
the side of a gentle and trusty one. Be
fore the colt is harnessed to the single
plow the reins or lines should be untied
and prolonged to the rear, when the plow
man can take hold and drive it along the
furrow behind the other horses; even if
this be done for hours it will be time well
spent if it secure a good and gentle plow
ho.se. As to blinds, the writer believes
they should only be used for a short time
on wild and mettled colts. Be careful
not to leavethem attached to plow or
vehicle of any kind, as by this means you
will have a safe and reliable team, which
is highly valued by every farmer. Cor.
Rural Messenger.
Feed the Farm.
Of all the operations connected with
scientific farming that of providing the
soil with proper manures, or fertilizers,
seems to be the least understood. It is
astonishing to find on conversing with a
large portion of our farmers what vague,
indefinite ideas they have about it. Many
of them seem to regard it as a kind of
dernier resort, and look doubtfully upon
the farm where it is necessary, or at best
regard it as only to be resorted to for
certain favored varieties of garden vegeta
bles, etc. They will fall tree after tree
from any tract of timber which may be
on their land, recognizing fully the fact
that every one cut down is so much done
toward finally exhausting the source of
supply, but fail to perceive they are pur
suing precisely the same process on the
farm from whence, year after year, they
remove heavy, luxuriant crops without
making any" return for those elements
which they thus take away. It is a plain
case of subtraction, so plain that the
veriest school boy will promptly decide
that, sooner or later, they must get 44 noth
ing" for an answer. And this answer is
only a question of time. On rich alluvials,
or bottom lands, it will take some time
for these to obtain a constant though
limited supply from neighboring hills or
mountains, or from the overflow of
sediment-laden streams; but on lands not
so favored, those which are flat, or those
from which the sediment or wash that
enriches their more fortunate neighbors
must come, tne worn-out" time will
arrive much sooner.
Of course there is no such thing as lit
erally wearing out a larm, any more than
there is of blotting out cf existence the
space it occupies; worn out simply
meaning that we have taken from the soil
certain elements which it will be neces
sary to restore by proper manuring be
fore expecting it to furnish again crops
composed largely of these very elements.
A farm must be fed ; just as regularly,
just as sufficiently as the laborers or
teams that work it; and it will repav the
food given it far more faithfully than it
is possible lor them to do. r armers in
the East are beginning generally to rec
ognize this principle, and are reducing
their farming to certain definite results;
but here in the West we depend too large
ly upon the supply which nature has
been thousands of years in storing up;
and literally waste her generous gifts. In
the East farming is recognized to be what
it really is, a simple problem in chemis
try, and the farmer puts the necessary
elements into mother earth's great labo
ratory, expecting to and does receive
back just as certain, definite compounds
as the chemist who mixes his acid and
base in his comparatively petty laboratory
to get his resulting salt, "
The age is a progressive one, and our
farmers are too intelligent a class to ig
nore the plain principles laid down in the
above. Let us have more common sense
infused into our farming, even if it is
necessary to ponder over some of the drier
details of chemistry in order to accom
plish it; and we will at once recognize
the fact that our farms pre far more inex
haustible sources of wealth than all the
dazzling lodes and chambers of an Ophir
or an Almaden. Pacific Rural Press.
Prevention of Snn-Strokc.
As the heated term is rapidly approach
ing, we give the following specific for
sun-stroke, which may save from illness
or death many whose occupation compels
them to be in the field or on the street:
44 About a year since 1 saw in a news
paper an account of a case of sun-stroke,
written by the party himself. After suf
fering a long time from the attack, and
having to a considerable degree recov
ered, he experienced suffering even from
the rays of the moon. This led him to
reflection that it was not altogether the
heat of the sun that produced prostration.
After much research, he discovered that
the injury came from the chemical ray,
and not from the heat ray. He was
guided to this by observing the fact that
a photograph could not be taken through
a hollow glass. Accordingly, he lined
his hat with two linings one of orange
yellow to arrest the chemical ray, and one
of green to arrest the heat ray. Thus
prepared he went where the rays of the
sun were most intense with perfect hn
punity. It is well known that the negro
is seldom sun-struck. The color of his
skin over the skull being of the orange
yellow may assist in accounting for the
fact. 1 practiced upon this suggestion
all last summer, lined my hat with green
and orange yellow paper, and had confi
dence enough in the truth of the theory
to neglect my umbrella, which I hail
never done before. I mentioned it to
many, who tried it also, and in many
cases that came under my observation
they uniformly asserted that the oppress
ive heat of the sun upon the head was
much relieved." Syracuse (N. Y.) Jour
nal.
A very interesting operation was
recently performed in Chicago. A Ger
man resident being very low in conse
quence of pulmonary disease submitted
to the operation of transfusion. Eight
ounces of blood were satisfactorily trans
ferred from the veins of a lamb to those
of the almost dying patient. At last ac
counts he patient was doing well, and it
was thought he would ultimately recover.
44 Out of the Hurly Burly." This
is the name of a book full of the richest
humor, by Max Adeler. It is bound to
be very popular, both on account of its
humor and its superb illustrations, of
which there are some 350. We advise
those who wish to 44 laugh and grow fat"
to buy a copy, for such is its effect.
The Great Medical Reformation.
The Satanic Tlieory that preparations
which inflame the brain are, in any sense
of the word, remedies has been overthrown,
and can never be re-entabluihed. The won
derful effects which have attended the use
of Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters as
an antidote to the causes of disease and a
cure for every controllable ailment have
demonstrated the utter fallacy of the doc
trine that alcohol is a tonic as well as a
stimulant. The New and incomparable
Vegetable Remedy which has superseded
the death-draught'of rum bitters is as free
from every intoxicating element as the
dew of Heaven, yet see how it is invigor
ating the nervous, relieving the bilious,
curing the dyspeptic, purifying the blood
of the scrofulous, strengthening the debil
itated, arresting premature decay, and re
placing despondency and weakness with
cheerfulness and activity. Truly, a grand
Medical Revolution is in progress. 43

It is the vital principle of the Pino Tree, obtained
by a peculiar process in the distillation of the tar, by
which its highest medicinal properties are retained.
Tar even in its crude state has been recommended by
eminent physicians of even tchool. It is confidently
offered to the afflicted for the following simple reasons:
I. It cures, not by abruptly stopping the cough
but by dissolving the phlegm and assisting nat'urt to
throw off the unhealthy matter causing the irritation.
In cases of seated consumption it both prolongs and
renders less burdensome the life of the afflicted sufferer.
s. Its healing principle acts upon the irritated sur.
bee of the lungs, penetrating to each diseased part,
relieving pain, ana subduing inflammation.
3. It furifies and enriches the blood. Positive,
ry curing all humors, from the common pimpli or
