Cant of Stopping a Train.
By a aeries of calculations it has
been demonstrated that it costs a rail
road ten cents to stop a locomotive
' and four cents for each stop of a pas
senger car. It often happens that a
. passenger does not make any move to
leave the train until the order, is given
to go ahead, and a train must be
brought to a stop again to let the slow-,
going passenger off. This little inci
dent costs the railroad company six
.teen or twenty cents, sometimes as
much as the tardy passenger has paid.
' This is one of the little leaks that a
railroad company undertakes to guard
against, and the uumber 6f coaches to
a train is limited to save expense of
stoppage, as well as to lessen the
number of p'ounds of coal consumed
and wear and tear of its runninggear.

are of great value to Invalids. Water, free:
from organic compounds or chemical im
purities. and a delightfully pure, dry atmos

for the repair of diseased tissues, ahd such
conditions obtain at Hot Springs. S. P. But (
am specially Interested in tne study and
treatment of nervous diseases, and it was for
the purpose of Informing myself of the bene
ficial effects to be derived to that class of
•‘suffering humanity” that f directed my In
vestigations. For soph ailments 1 find the
atmospheric conditions especially commend
able. being light and wholly free from that
humidity s6 prevalent in this and lower
.altitudes. Tlie clear, pure springs arc con
stantly issuing out of the rocks at a temper
ature about, equal to tne normal body heat
and potent in therapeutic properties that are
very superior in benefittfng nervous affec

The high altitude provides a pure, dry air
not possible In other health resorts, however
artificially beautlfled. To the pleasure seeker,
who Is desirous of rest and recuperation from
the dally duties of routine business or pro
fessional life, there Is no hotter locality.

Hew Treatment for Nervous Pisceses
This novel method consists in subcu
taneous injections of a solution of the
phosphate of soda, which, not entering
the system by: the digestive 'tract, mats
directly on the nervous system. The
Brown-Sequard elixir was not always
harmless, but in many instances pro
duced local inflammation at the point
where the injection was made or other
unpleasant consequences. But no
such serious objection is likely to be
raised to the use of a solution of five
grammes of the phosphate of soda in
100 grammes of sterilized, distilled
water.

eVery bird I g6t hatched, but a
crooked-breasted chicken I never saw
when hatched; they all come out
as right as they can possibly be. 1
once got a sitting of Leghorn eggs from
a famous English breeder. I reared six
birds, and every one had a crooked
breast. The cause was a towel rail
that happened to be in their house
with chickens,and the lively little crea
tures perched on it when their bones
were soft, and this caused the deform
ity. As usually happens, the best pall
were the most deformed. I was not
afraid.^ however, to breed from them,
though the fact that the whole brood
were deformed looked like an heredi
tary weakness. I reared about forty
chickens from the pair. The chick
ens came all right. 1 left them this
time in a house with nothing but straw
to sit on, and the breasts of every one
of them kept as straight as they could
be. Turkeys are very subject to this
deformity; the good ones are partic
ularly so, and people object to a male
bird with the slightest tendency in
that way. Some years ago-1 lost a
good deal by it. The very best of the
flock were those usually affected. 1
adopted a very good plan. I prepared
a turkey house with divisions 12 ft.
by 4 ft. for each brood. These were
3 ft. high, covered over with wire net
ting, and the floor is concrete. 1 put in
straw for nests, and when they gel
larger I cover the floor with straw,
which is taken out every day and shak
en and returned. I leave the young
birds in these pans till about Septem
ber. I then remove the wire netting,
and put a 3 in. lath on top of the di
visions, on which I nail strips of old
carpet, and pack with hay, forming a
cushion. I have worked on this plan
for a number of years, and never had
a single case of crooked breast.

Cost of Carelessness.
A little carelessness In a dangerous
thing. I have found this out to my
cost. There is no reason why a per
son should permit their fowls to get
sick with the' roup, except. by down
right carelessness; at least this is my
view of it. A short time ago, about
three weeks, one of the panes of glass
in the poultry house was broken. 1
knew that the position of the window
indicated that when the wind was in a
certain direction it would blow through
the aperature onto the hens asleep oh
the roost. I knew this, but kept neg
lecting the needed repairs from day
to day. None of my fowls had ever
had roup, and so I had little fear of It.
A few days ago I was surprised. In
going into the pen in the morning, to
find that one of my hens had her head
swelled up ahd the water running
; from her eyes. I promptly sequestered
her. The next morning another was
found in the same shape. I put her
also in quarantine. Then I fixed the
window. If the fowls die it will be the
direct result of negligence 'on my part.
This leads me to remark that most of
our.poultry troubles are caused by want
of proper care of the fowls or their
surroundings. This word of caution
may do some reader of the Farmers’
Review good, henc£ I give it.' ‘Ad to the
fowls, I tried a remedy that‘I have
seen recommended, but ’which may be
a little hard on the fowls. I made a
solution of alum and mixed with it
about one-third its quantity of vine
gar: I bathed the heads of the fowls
with this, being careful that it got
into their nostrils. I call it hard on
the fowls, for any one knows, or should
know, that alum water in the eyes Is
of the birds are swelled shut It. may
not be so very painful. At
last reports one of the birds
had her eyes open and the swell
ing was going down. I wish the read
ers of the Farmers' Review would tell
me what they do in cases of this kind.
Of course I know what the books say,
but what is the practical experience?
Dairy Advancement In the South.
The milch cow may well be called
the housekeeper of the farm, says a
writer in “Southern States.” From an
industrial and economic standpoint
she is the manufacturer of all forms
of spare food products made upon.the
farm. For this reason her numbers
and products speak more eloquently
oftentimes, with regard to farm and
family thrift,'* than almost anything
else the census counts. Let us see,
therefore, what her statistics teach us
with regard to the south. In 1880 the
census tells us there were only 2.50Q,
000 milch cows reported in the south;
1U AWfv iuib uau lULicastu lO «,oUU,UUU
and ihe reports of the department of
agriculture indicate that the coWg in
the southern Btates now number about
3,000,000. This is not a great increase,
but the butter production tells u more
favorable story. The Southern States
under consideration produced in 1880
only 90,000,000 pounds of butter, which
was less than seven pounds per capita
•of the entire population, this is only
enough to give each person a fair al
lowance of butter for each Sunday. In
189Q the same states produced 156,000.
000 pounds, or over ten pounds per
capita of the population. In other
words, between 1880 and 1890 the out
1 ". ' *
put of butter from a slightly Increased
number of cows has been Increased
three-fourths. How shall we account
for this? Those who have made ex
tensive observations in the south con
firm us In the statement that while it
had in the earlier years a great many
cows, they were poorly cared for and
more poorly fed. The Introduction of
the so-called “no-fence” laws, which
requires that all stock shall be kept at
home or fenced in, has, however, led
to the elimination of worthless cows
and the better care of those remain
ing. The production of cheese .. hag
doubled also. This industry- has re
cently been firmly established- in-the
state of South Carolina', Where it was
previously unknown.1 ' ' '•
Undattlon of Test Mottles.
: Many of the Babcock bottles, tber
mometeraand pipettes which are pur
; chased from the dairy supply houses
are improperly graduated. The follow
ing method for testing such bottles is
simple, rapid and accurate enough for
all practical purposes. Fill the bottle
to the zero mark of the scale with
water, removing any drops that may
adhere to the neck with a strip of blot
ting or filter paper. Then add a twe
cubic centimeter pipette full of 'vatei
to the test bottle. If the bottle is prop
erly graduated the water added will ill!
It to the ten per cent mark. If the
water comes two-tenths of a per cent
or more above or below the ten per cent
mark the bottle should be destroyed.
In making this test always read from
the lowest point of the curve formed
by the surface of the water on a level
with tho eye. Pipettes for the above
purpose can be ordered by residents ol
Pennsylvania through the experiment
station at a cost of 35 cents each in ad
vance. Common dairy thermometers
are liable to be several degrees in error
and should always be compared with a
standard instrument before using. Cor

well as standard milk and cream pip
ettes, test bottles, etc., can also be or

named in Bulletin 33.—M. E. McDon

Can you tell me what to do for my

Farmers Review and oblige.—Mrs. R.
R. * • • The birds are evidently
affected with roup, which, by the way,
is a more general term than is com*
monly supposed. It is applied to all
such cases as the above where the
fowls have colds In the head and
swelled heads.
In a recent number H. C. Hunt wrote
on roup, in which he said in part:
“For treating the birds now sick,
make a mixture, mostly lard with a
little carbolic acid and red pepper in
it. Grease their heads every day for
three or four dayB, that Is, the sick
ones. Put a little of this mixture in
the roof of the mouth, by means of a
small oil can that has a good spring
bottom that will throw it up into their
heads. Then keep a little carbolic acid
in their drinking water. Let them all
run together, and all that can see to
eat and are able to do so will be well
in a week or two."
We are certainly of the opinion that
the surroundings of the birds are re
sponsible for their condition. The
fact of having warm pens proves
nothing. In fact if the pens are so
warm that sweating is induced and the
birds are allowed to go out freely .into
the cold air, the changes are.gopd that
roup will result.—Farmers' Review. •

Straining Milk.-^-Straining' should
begin before Commending to milk, by
brushing off all the dirt, hair, straw,
ptc., from the udder, teats and body
of the cow. Let it be the duty of some
one person to go over all the cows
with a soft brush or a damp cloth be
fore the cows are milked. An ordinary
wire sieve strainer does very well, but
we add to this by doubling cheese
cloth or thin cotton so as to have It
fOur thicknesses. Lay the cloth across
the bottom of the strainer and then
fasten it on by means of a tin ring
which slips over the cloth and bottom
part of the strainer. For quickness we
use a strainer that a pail of milk may
be put into at once. This sets in a
wooden frame over the can. Some use
a woolen cloth to strain with. Cloth
'of some kind is necessary to catch
hairs and fine dirt. This cloth must be
kept clean. Scald it thoroughly each
time after using.—Ontario Experlmen

Balanced Rations for Hogs.—There
Is no room for doubt that 'a better
quality of pork is made by feeding the
pigs a balanced ration during their
growing period. But this is not all
that is to be gained by following out a
more rational policy in the feed lot.
By proper methods of feeding when
the pig is in the formative stages ol
his development the constitution is
strengthened rather, than weakened.
We believe in a good bit of shorts,
roots, milk and clover or lucerne for
tne growing pig. a reasonable amount
of corn along with any or all these
things Is a good thing always too
Feed the pig plenty, give him a variety
of food when you can, observe a rigid
regularity in all that you do for him
give him clean and dry quarters, with
sunshine and room for exercise and
you are on the road to success with
him. Few men attempt to do this -

Thomas Odell, a young1 man of 32
years, living seven milos back of
Ureenup, Ky., has met death in a
strange manner. He had been a puzzle
to physicians for several years. . Ho
was affected by what he ate to such an
extent that when he indulged 'In beef
eating about an hour'afterward ho
would become restless and wander out
in search of cattle and bellow as an ox,
and would get down on his hands and
; eat grass like a cow. When he par
took of mutton his actions were those
of a sheep, and he would plaintively
bleat like a lamb. When he ate chicken
he would go out and scratch for worms
which he would devour with apparent
relish.
After eating fish he would wander
to the creek and go in swimming.
Lately his father killed several squir
rels, of which the son ate heartily for
dinner. He left the house shortly
after and was followed by the father.
The father saw him entering an oak
grove, and soon saw his son jumping
nimbly from limb to limb, at the same
time barking like a squirrel. He called
for him to come down, but this only
seemed to make the boy want to
escape, and he attempted to jump from
one tree to another, but missed and
fell to the ground, a mangled, breath
less mass of humanity, and expired in
less than five minutes.

From the RemibHcun. Colrnnhim. Tnd.
The Hnrtsvllle College, situated at Harte
vllle, Indiana, was founded years ago in
the interest of the United Brethren Church,
when the state was mostly a wilderness,
and colleges were scarce. The college is
well known throughout the country,
former students having gone into all ports
of the world.
PROF. ILYIN F. BARNABT.
A reporter recently called at this famous
seat of learning and was shown into the
room of the President, Prof. Alvin P. Bur
naby. When last seen by the reporter
Prof. Barnaby was in delicate health. To
day he was apparently in the best of health.
In response to an inquiry the professor said:
“Oh, yes, I am much better than for
some time. I am now in perfect health;
but my recovery was brought about in
rather a peculiar way.”
“Tell me about it,’’said the reporter.
“Well, to begin at the beginning," ,said
the professor, “1 studied too hard when at
rchool, endeavoring to educate myself for
the professions. After completing the
common course I came here, and graduated
from the theological course. 1 enterbd

United Brethren Church at a small place
in Kent County, Mich. Being of an am
bitious nature, 1 applied myself diligently
to my work and studies. In time I noticed
that my health was failing. . My trouble
was indigestion, and this with other trou
bles brought on nervousness.
“My physician prescribed for me for
some some time, and advised me to take a
change of climate. I did as he requested
and was some improved. Boon after, 1
came here as professor in physics and
chemistry,. and later was financial agent
of this college. The change agreed with
me, and for a while my health was better,
but my duties were heavy, and again 1
found my trouble returning. This time it
was more severe and in the winter I be
came completely prostrated. I tried vari
ous medicines and different physicians.
Finally, I was able to return to my duties.
Last spriqg I was elected president of the
college. Again I had considerable work,
and the trouble,which had not been entire
ly cured, began to affect me, and last fall
I collapsed. I had different doctors, but
none did me any good. Professor Bow
man, who is professor of natural science,
told me of his experience with Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and urged
me to give them a trial, because they had
benefited him in a similar case, and 1 con
cluded to try them.
“The first box helped me, and the second
gave great relief, such as I had never ex
perienced from the treatment of any phy
sician. After using six boxes of the medi
cine I was entirely cured. To-day I am
perfectly well. 1 feel better and stronger
than for years. I certainly recommend
this medicine.’’ <■
