adapted to this conotry, but as a rule
the foreign sheep are not, and unless
tbey are crossed with the natives, they
do not obtain the qualities essential to

flavor of tbe bacon, and the saltpeter

. llroum lorn Culture.
' In nearly every part of the United
'States broom corn can be grown suc
cessfully, and at a profit, it is, how- '
vor, a business that require moro
watching the market than any other
connected with farming, for the prices
jfucUtate from fifty to several hundred
dollars por ton. The grower should '
jbo able to hold his crop over until
tiigher prices are ruling. Where it is
(grown as a business it Is made to j ield
Ciod profits, but only on good soil and
with great labor.
: ISrooin corn requires more warmth
thun Indian corn, and succeed best on
sandy soil when it Is warmed by the
sun. The kind should be prepared in
the full or spring, and only such seed
vod as will sink when floated in water.
iThe standard variety is tho Evergreen,
and when good seeds of this ate ob
tained from reliable seedsmen a good
crop may be anticipated. The dwarf
varieties aw only used for whisks and
clothes brushes, nnd the demand is
not so great for them. Tho plttutin-r
"d cultivation do not have as much
effect on this crop as lU harvesting
and after-preparation. Tho swds uro
planted in two ways: on very light,
cloan, rich land. lit drills ihreo feet
apart; but on other land In hills tlmv
nd two feel apart, with six to eight
stalks In the hill, lbs seeds then
need a light covering, and cultivation
similar to Indian corn.

Considering how easily and cheaply
it is growo, no farmer is excusable if
be does not provide a bountiful hoaie
grown supply of horse radish. A few
roots, the trimmings from that sold In
market, planted in any rich, deep toll,
to the depth of ten or twelve inches,
are enough to start with. Iu a year's
time these tiny roots will be swelled
Into a large, succulent mot, extending
to the surface of the ground, while be

over In one season is not ad visible, as
after the first year's growth tho roots
become woody and stringy. Hut the
well-grown horse radish always com
mands a paying price In market, either
as roota or grated and put up in bot

; !( Hues aa Ornament.
A few tastily painted trellises in the
dooryaid. covered in thoirseiison with
foliugo and lucious fruit hanging down
from their latticed roofs, are no mean
ornament, uod vie with plants or
vines having no other use than to loolc
at. (uowing the vine so as to cover a
trellis, or, if the location admit,
training two viner, one on each side,
takes only a few years. It is truo
that as good fruit may be grown on
vines trained to stukes or wires, but it
Is hardly as satisfactory to a man who
wishes to rcallzo the biblical Idea of
entire safety, that of sitting under
one's own vine, with no ono to molest.
In no other wuy, too, can young peo
ple be attracted lo farm life, which Is
commonly made us repulsive as possi
ble by hard work, and little regard
for what muke.i life pleasant.
Mowing Clover B'd T0' lrly.
More clover need is wusted by delay
ing sowing too long than by seeding
curly. It must sink Into the soil by
melting suows or rains wushingover
It a little of tho loose dust pulverised
on the surface of all tare fields by
winter freezing and thawing. Still
the soed m.iy sometimes bo sown too
early. We have known clover soed
sown In February, and come out all
Iglil, while In a milder winter it
might germinate and bo destroyed by
ate frost. When the clover plant
has only lis second leaf it has very
little root, and this has only, slight
foothold in the soil. Destroy this leaf
and the life of the plant is quickly
ended. Therefore clover seeding
should be late enough to insure free
dom from frost after tho seed germiu
ites. Hural Home.
Monk and Dairy Notes.
A change of food Is ulways sensible
at short intervals. (live the cow bran
rnuh or a moss of outmcal slop twice
a week. It will help the digestion
nd the appetite.
No one should cast injurious reflec
tions upon the fancy dairymen. We
owe much to them, their successes are
xamplcs for us, and their mistakes or
failures are valuable Iohsoiis by which
we may guide our practices.
Stables should be put in order for
winter use early. A good coat of
hot whitewash or fresh lime, with a
few ounces of hard soap dissolved in u
pail full of it, will cleanse and sweeten
the stable and render it healthful for
the cows.

SOME ODD EXPERIENCE BY ONE
WHO PUttS TEETH.

"Tbo tooth pulling business ison the
wane, remarkeu a aeniist to a re
porter of the Detroit Journal. "A few
years ao we could extrjct quite
revenue out 01 worn, out now a roan
who relied on pulling teeth for a sub
sistence would starve in short Order
unless be traveled with a circus tent
and a brass band.
"Then there's tbe false tooth Indus
try. Some people imagine that it's on
the increase and that nearly every
woman over 30 goes to bed at night
with her molars on tho dressing table.
Now, us a matter of fact, false teeth
are worn very little more than they
used to be. You don't see as many
people with bad teeth, but that Is bo-
cause they tako care of them. They
begin to sco that bad teeth means bud
health, and they are correspondingly
anxious to keep theirs In good shape.
Women pay much more attention
to their teeth than men. "But men.
too, aro beginning to give tbe dentists
more work, und in our o.11ce4 the lord
of creation often makes a very humili
ating display of his weakness. Till is
painfully accentuated when contrasted
with tbo bchaviorof women In similar
circumstances.

come In with a swagger and an air of
braggadocio. Tbey are not afraid.
This matter of filling teeth has bon
greauy exaggcraieu. tuey say. jt's a
more nothing to 11 man of nerve. Well,
that kind of a man usually goes all to
pieces the moment the forespj touch
him. His loudly boasted courage dios
out lit the first scrape und lie squirms
and groans like a boy. .,
"Tho quietest men are generally the
bravest They understand that a cer
tain amount of pain mint bo endured,
and when it comes they take It without
any udo. Most men, in their coucait,
make a worn n's fainting procJiviiios
a subject for their jotre.4. Hut in tho
dentist's chair the joke is on the other
sox.
'it is natural that a woman .should
bo a moro courageous subject than a
man. She bears all sorts of pain with
more fortitude than a man. She mere
ly 1 ppears less courageous because she
shrinks from any sort of encounter,
but when it comes to quiet suffering
mcu can only stand und wonder at her.
"A man is naturally combative, and
when lie lias lo sit down and take pun
ishment without striking back he is
apt to lay himself open to some very
truthful criticism from bis sisters.
This fighting propensity is more highly
developed lis some men than In others.
It very often crops out when a subject
is under the Influence of tin ana'sthetic.
I remember one case which was ex
tremely interesting for 1110. A little
red whiskered Irishman came in ono
afternoon and wanted his tooth pulled.
"D'yese pull tote wld or wldout

"I told him if lie thought he could
not bear tho shiu-k I should give him
an anasthctlc.

"I put him to rest but h id just got
my arm around his neck, when to
woke up In earnest, and the way he
flew about that room was enough lo
muke you think there wcro six or
beven Irishmen lit the neighborhood.
Ho imagined himself in ttio midst of u
Cork-town scrimmage.
" 'Come an. mo bucko,' he yelled.

had business elsewhere und left tho
Irishman to come to bis senses as best
ho might.
"I will tell you another case which
may perhaps be taken as Illustrating
how a subject's proclivities will crop
out while unconscious. An elderly
female, who evidently hud never ben

And now they say that, Instead of

getting rid of her, whero in turn the
dauphin dressed her ut In armor for
the amusement of the court The
iconoclasts even go so far us to assert
that the consecrated sword which was
found, per Joan's direction, b iried in
tpe Church of bt Catharine at
I'lerbols, and which was presented to
her by the dauphin, h id been planted
there by h nds of ordinary flesh und

did not laid tho army to the relief of

The 1'aee or a Cripple,
As I was coming down town tlo
other evening In a car a hunchbiclt en
tered. A friend who sat with me asked
mo if Iliad observe! that thj faca's
of nil hunchbacks and cripple were
deformed as well as their bodies. I
mean." bo said, "that their faces aro
pinched and drawn, and that if you
saw the faoeonly.ns though an opening
in the wall, you would know tit once,
if you had been an observant man.
that it was tho face of a cripple. A
physician would know it, at any rate."
I told him that I had observed tha fact
and asked him why it was. He re
plied: -Many, think that it Is simply
because cripples do not take enough
exercise, being unable to do so. I do
not think that is tho reason. Other
persons who do not t:ske exercise have
white faces, but tho lips aro not so
thlu and close, and there is not that
drawn look In all the features. Don't
you see that it la a look of suffering?
It may not be of bodilv suffering, but
1 believo that their countenances are
that way because of the mental an
guish they endure all through life.
You know the effect of an extreme
sorrow 011 tho face of a healthy man
in one week or a month. How much
difference it must make when that
sorrow is never absent from him.
There aro rare instances where the
pinched look is almo.st overcome by
cheerfulness," my friend went on. "It
can never get entirely away. One of
tho most cheerful cripples I ever
knew was tho mayor of aTennsylvanla
city for ihreo year.- He mixed with
mou and look an interest in affairs,
und although he is a hunchback, he
seems ro iliy lo enjoy life. Ho goes
shooting with the boys, and there are
few better men In that vicinity with
a gun. Ho has color iu his face and
brightness In his eyes; yet I am satis
fied that If, for tho first tlmo. you saw
his fuco only you would say it was tho
face of a cripplo." New York Star.

intrepid French explorer, enlere it iu
February, 1883. On the ccast there

Kong and its people. Mohammedan
negroes, and Capt. Dinger found that
these accounts li.nl more oasis than
most of the reorls f cities in in
terior Africa, in bis narrative he
says; ...
Several hours before we reached
Kong there were evidences that we
were approaching a great center.
Every whero all the timlier had been
cut down, and the soil, imttovct islied
by long cultivation, was iiarreii. I
saw not even a bill a 11 v where. The
Kong mountain chain, ivlucli apc:irf
on all the mnis. exisis only in the
imagination of somu iucorrcctly iu
formed travelers. Soon I saw t'siug
among the bmnbax ami palm trees far

and the Hal roofs of Kong. As 1 en
tered the city, modestly mounted on a
Mecr, I saw largo crowds of jwople,
who appeared neither friendly nor hos
tile, but only eager to see a European.
The roofs, the trees, the streets, the
cross-n ads were full of cople, and I
would not have been able to force my
wy through if the slaves of the Chief of
Koiijj had not cleared it way for me.
They were armed with whfpi and vig
orously lashed all who lagged iu their
path. In chairs under two grem trees
in the market-place were sealed, oil

There was perfect silence In the two
groups, which I estimated to number
about a thousand persons. Jt win no

They were fully aud neatly dressed ii

to shield me from public cunosiiv. I

I was first to visit. I did not feel any

large, unwalled Imva. whose biiinliiigs
are of clay, with tint roofs. It is built
ii a most irregular . manner, and its
narrow lortuoiis M reels radiate from a !
large place about 70!) feet square, which I
serves us a market, the town h;.s a

conversation on religious topics no one
attempted to- demonstrate 'that Islam

Many of lliem lold me they considered
tho three religious to bo practically
Identical, because tbev all led to thu
same God. Tbev said there were great
and holy prophets among the cham
pions of nil these religions, aud there
was no reason to proclaim one better
than another. The commerce of Kong
is vcrv nourishing. The market is a

Dust is the great enemy of health
and of women's good looks. It settles
in tho skin, especially where there is
a little steam to help it; the wax und
oily matter of iho skin fix it tilt no
ordinary washing will remove it.
Wrinkles are accentuated by it, aa
they have a deeper bod to draw in the
dust with the stylus of time. That is
tho reason so many women look about
ten years younger when Ihey find
time to tako their hot bath, and the
vapor has fifteen minutes or mora to
soften the tissues.
There ia nothing like steam for
plumping up tho skin nnd washing
out tho grime which clouds every com
plexion not dally treated to soap and
