PI & 2 . I" it i i ! i M M i? i A Terrible Visitant. Pain is always a terrible visitant, and often domiciles itself with one for life. This inflic tion is preventable, in cases of rheumatism, by a timely resort to Hostctters'sStomachBltters, which checks the encroachments of this obsti nate and dangerous malady at tho outset. The term "dangerous" is used adrisedly, for rheu matism is always liable to attack the vital orj?aus .and terminate life. No testimony is more ccncluhh c and c oncurrent than that of physicians who testify to the excellent effect of the Bitters in this disease. Persons incur a wetting in rainy or snowy weather, and who are crposcd to drauchts, should use the Bitters as n preventive of ill effects. Malaria, dyspepsia, liver and kidney trouble, nervousness and debility are also anions the ailments to which this popular medicine is adapted.

A Nebraska bulletin tells of the ex periments in that state with sugar beets, and among other things sajs: While the results from fertilization in 1891 and 1892 were not conclusive, they were so favorable as to make it ad visable to repeat practically the same work for a series of years in order to eliminate the influence of all acci dental circumstances and bring into view the real effects of the fertilizers themselves. Distance between rows and beets plays an important part, both in yield and sugar content. Experi ments during the last three years have shown, quite conclusively,that,for this part of the state, eighteen inches is the most satisfactory distance be tween the rows. Beets in the row should stand from six to eight inches apart. With a greater distance be tween the rows the capabilities of the soil are not fully utilized, while if rows are closer than eighteen inches it is not possible to make use of horse power in cultivation. On smaller plats, where hand cultivation is the rule, the rows may be brought to within fifteen inches of each other. The following The IUIaeU Iaatttate Work. What are the farmers of Hlnois go ing to do about the development of agricultural education in their midst? Is Illinois to be forever behind her sis ter states in this important matter? We ask this of the farmers, because the farmers have it in their power to give an effective answer. If they de mand a forward movement the for ward movement will take place. There is no state where such education will pay better. Illinois has facilities pos sessed by few states. The greatest ad vantage is the nearness of her mar ket and center of distribution, the city of Chicago. And yet her farmers have as yet felt little of the influence of the "new agriculture." WTiat is the rea son? Probably the fact that the state possesses a mighty business metropolis has forced the agricultural interests into the background and caused them to be neglected. The present mode of institute work is of little value. The 55,000 spent may be counted as largely wasted. It does not fulfill its mission of educating the farmer. There re institutes and institutes. Two general and dis tinct plans are at present being followed in institute work in this country. One plan, very prevalent, makes of the meeting a sort of con ference, where the farmers come and ex change their opinions and experiences. We have attended many such meetings and conventions, and from careful observation and comparison believe them to be of little value to the farmer, chiefly because as much error as truth is propagated in them. Methods that science has long since Caster Beans. In many sections these ought to be grown profitably. One advantage with them is that nearly all of the work of planting, cultivating, harvesting, threshing and marketing can be done without hiring extra help, says a cor respondent of Journal of Agriculture. They have another advantage and that is they are a good crop to help make up a rotation,asthe stalks turned under make a gocd fertilizer. The soil should be prepared in a good tilth in the spring the same as when pre paring to plant a crop of corn. It pays to take considerable pains to prepare the soil in a good tilth before planting as a better germination of the seed and a quicker and more vigorous start of the plants to grow. Like corn, the planting can be done in drills if the condition of the soil will admit, and the cultivation be given one way. But unless thorough cultivation is given from the start some hoeing will be necessary in order to properly keep down the weeds. Or the planting can be done each way. But in either case it is essential to mark out fur rows three and a half or four feet apart and then leave space five feet apart between the next two rows, and this must be followed all the" way through, but only one way, the object is to help in harvesting the crop, as a sled with a box upon it or a very nar row, low wagon will be necessary so as to drive between the wide rows and then two rows on each side can be gathered. As it will be necessary to go over the field two or three times at least to harvest the crop the necessity of this plan is evident. If planted in 'nLBflHaaHBBLlBBBBBBiBHBBlBBBBBBHHEli?' 'z!&35SGSmJm3lkmW PRINCE OP WALES, A YORKSHIRE nORSE. FARMERS' REVIEW. table shows results from planting from fifteen inches to two feet apart: Distance betwean rows. JSZL 24 inches 3285 12.6 18 inches 36G5 13.3 15 inches 3540 12.3 These results agree closely with those obtained in France, from experi ments running through a series of eight years. The distances experi mented on there were: Rows twenty inches apart and beets twenty inches from each other in the row, and rows seventeen inches apart and beets eight inches from each other. The conclu sion from eight years of experiment ing was that the closer culture gave richer beets with a smaller proportion of foreign organic matter. Close cult ure also gave a greater yield per acre and removed a smaller quantity of plant food from the soil. Consequently close culture was less exhausting to the soil, and more profitable to the grower and manufacturer. Wheat Feeding ix Dakota. I have noticed your extensive report on wheat feeding and note that you give the proportion from the Dakotas as very small. I have given this subject at tention lately and been trying to post myself on the wheat feeding here in South Dakota, and have been surprised to find the custom much more genera than I had supposed. Hogs, cattle and horses are being fed all over the state quite generalty with the exception of a very few counties, and in many of the towns wheat is used as feed at the livery stables and hotels and by pri vate parties. I have heard directly of several instances where wheat was be ing fed to sheep. One sheep man near Pierre, here, lately bought GOO bushels of a neighbor, paying 45 cents per bushel for it on the farm, to feed his flock of 500 heard of sheep. I believe that at least one fourth to one third the wheat crop of South Dakota for 1894 will be fed to livestock and would not be surprised, if the truth could be got at, that it would exceed that pro portion, and am certain it will in many counties. The corn crop for 1894 was the poorest ever raised in this state. In 1891 South Dakota was the eleventh state in the Union on corn raising, that year close to 30,000,000 bushels, this year is really the first year that corn has been a failure in South Dakota. A result of this con dition has made it in many counties imperative that wheat be used for feed the same as in Nebraska and Kansas. There is no more surplus wheat to go out of South Dakota now until afler another harvest, and some of the larger milling towns are already buy ing wheat in Minnesota for grinding. Chas. L. Hyde. It is a diffi cult matter to arrive at conclusions on the subject of wheat fpeditig, because the custom varies so gn ally in differ ent counties. In one county the cus tom may be very prevalent, while in even the adjacent county it may not yet have been introduced. Thisis the condition existing in Dakota, as in dicated by our report. A fabmep. in Delta county, Colo rado, picked and marketed $760 worth of Ben Davis apples from one acre of orchard, says Irrigation Farmer. In farming it seems as though every year some article of consumption 4hit it right." In northeastern Kansas.in Doni phan county,a farmer owns an orchard of 160 acres. He offered the quarter last March for 810,000. He was offered $9,000 but refused to accept, and the buyer refusing to give more the trade was not consummated. Last month he sold his apple crop from the 160 acres for S8,000 net. I" mating, one drake to six ducks jwiUbe sufficient, says an exchanee. They should be in good condition but not too fat. Duck eggs hatch remark ably well; they require four weeks to incubate before hatching. Give the setter a warm, clean nest, free from lice, and give her good care and you will have a good hatch. The day you expect the ducklings to come out do not disturb the mother, she will prefer to remain on the nest, and if she had plenty of food and water the day be fore she will not suffer bv it. When yon think part of the ducklings are out, gently remove the mother, take shells and replace the mother. Let thr ducklings remain with the mother, w they wiU need her vitalizing heat. proved to be of no value and even harmful, are freely advocated, and often the error comes out on top. Such occurrences are not rare but com mon. This kind of institute work should be abandoned. It is the kind that is fostered in Illinois to-day. The sum of $50 is given to every county that holds an institute. Half a dozen men may get together and run a meet ing of that kind and draw the money for its expenses. In assemblies of this kind we have heard advocated the fol lowing: Fall plowing to destroy cut worms; leaving cows out of doors in winter to make them hardy; denuding cow pastures of trees and all shelter from the summer sun so the cows wouldn't waste time resting; mulching trees to keep them from budding in the spring till all danger of frost is past; putting iron fillings around pear trees to keep them from blighting; cultivating them to keep them from blighting; non-cultivation to keep them from blighting; putting chips around them to keep them from blighting. These are but few of the many papers and discus sions that have come under our special notice. Worse ones even might be cited, Within a few weeks at a convention one of the lay speakers described the process by which thi tcab appears on the apple. He claimed to have made the discovery fifteen years ago. It was done by a certain insect, he said, the name of which he gave, with the habits he attributed to it. A noted professor from the University of Illinois arose and attempted to cor rect the speaker, giving the true cause of the scab, and showing that the in sect referred to never ate the fruit, but lived upon the leaf only. The first speaker re-asserted his claims, and came out ahead, as the professor was too gentlemanly to continue the dis cussion. Such things are reported and go out to the masses, and the readers, knowing neither the speakers nor be ing versed in agricultural science, are as likely to believe one as the other. The second mode of holding institutes is not with the idea of conference, but of instruction. It is made, in fact, a sort of university extension work. This is the method pursued in Wis consin, and it is the only method that should be followed in any state. The general plan to give the masses of the farmers the benefit of modern scientific thought and investigations in all agricultural matters. The teachers selected are for the purpose of desseroinating only what has been demonstrated to be true, and not mere theories of their own. In Wis consin the whole work is wisely controlled, and no person is al lowed to waste the time of the meeting advocating some exploded theory, or relating worthless experi ences. Illinois should place her work in charge of her state university. A corps of teachers should be selected to travel from county to county, holding institutes and giving the farmers the results of the accumulated knowledge of our experimenters, and the teach ings derived from the work of our own and foreign stations. In this way ODly will the state ever be benefitted by the money expended. The state should appropriate at least S10.000 for the work of the coming year, and an increased amount for the work of sub sequent years. The work can not be carried on without a good supply of money. A superintendent devoting all of his time to the state work will require a good salary,for a good man can not he hired to work for nothing. Too rigid economy inihis wprk; yill be a foolish policy. There is no doubt that the legislature wilUbe willing to vote any sum the work may require, if they can but see that "it will result to the ad vantage of Illinois. Farmers' Re: view. The gas companies had in lela a monopoly of the lighting of Paris. Greex silage is a delicious food for poultry in the winter-time and it ought to be just as profitable to raise and store this for the hens as for the cattle. checks, plant two or three beans in each hill, according to the fertility and cultivation of the soil. If in drills, one bean every fifteen or eighteen inches will do. The planting should be done as soon as the danger of frost is over and the soil sufficiently warmed up to induce a quick germination of the seed. Generally from the 1st to the 10th of May will be a good time in Missouri and southern Illinois. Clean cultivation is very essential not only in securing a good growth and yield but also in lessening the cost of harvesting. Commence at the start and keep the weeds down and the soil in good tilth. One item of importance must not be overlooked and that is the field or lot where the beans are grown must be well fenced so that the stock can not get to them.as the plant and bean are poisonous to stock. A clean place on the south side of a building is the best place to make a threshing yard. The size to be deter mined by the amount to be threshed. A tight fence will save the most beans. Ordinarily a lot fifty feet square will be plenty lartre and with a small eron half this space will answer. The har vesting is done by driving a sled to which one horse, well muzzled, is at tached and on the sled a good sfecd dry goods box should be fastened. When the spikes begin to crack open they arc ready to harvest. Spread out in the yard, which must be perfectly clean. The sun will pop them out of their pods and can be cleaned bv run ning through a fan mill. The" yield varies from ten to twenty bushels per acre and at present prices they will a pay good profit. Sunflower i:i Kusaia. Mr. Duncan, writing of the sun flower, says: The Russians estimate that the stalks and leaves of one crop, if left on the land, will manure the soil sufficiently to yield six or more crops consecutively without additional fertilizing. The roots of the stalks soon rot in the ground and leave about one ton of manure per acre in the soil, which is very fine for the next crop. The plant requires but little attention and labor after planting. When it is about ten or twelve inches high, the soil should be thoroughly cleaned of grass and weeds. That is all that will be required until harvest. Harvest time varies according to soil, climate and exposure of the flower to the sun. The usual time is fixed from Sept. 1 to Oct. 15. When the seeds are fully ripe, the heads of the flowers are cut from the stalks and placed in drying sheds for the purpose of curing them, the same as curing leaf tobacco. When the flower is fully dry, the seeds are threshed from the cups, and screened and run through a fan mill, and are ready for the seed mill." In conclusion, Mr. Duncan says: "After carefully examining every feature of this new and novel industry, as con ducted by the Russians, I am induced to believe that with ourimproved modes of farming, together with our climate and soil, the cultivation of the sun flower can be made one of the best paying crops that the average Ameri can farmer can raise. When we take into consideration the great saving of labor and expense in producing the crop ready for market, as compared with others, it is wonderful." Ax Ancient Custom. It seems that in the olden time it was customary to give gloves as presents on New Year's day. As they were very expensive, quite often a sum of money, called glove money, was given instead. Sometimes parents and official persons were presented with gloves by those who wished to conciliate or find favor with them. There is an anecdote about Sir Thomas Moore, who, having decided a case favorably for a lady client, received from her on New Year's day a pair of gloves containing forty gold coins called anjrels. He could not refuse the gloves, but sent back the coins with this note: "Mistress Since it were against good manners to re fuse your New Year's gift, I am con tent to take your gloves, but as for the lining I utterly refuse it." Phila delphia Record Jaitttk Any Other "Woman. Mrs. Mary Livermore, who, it was announced a few days ago, will retire to private life after a public career of thirty years as lecturer, temperance ad vocate and woman suffragist, will co down to posterity as a pioneer of wo man's progress who did not wear blue goggles, and one of the most pictur esque figures in the world of women workers for the public good. Mrs. Liv ermore is a fine-looking old lady, tall, stately, with noble features and silver hair rippling in the now fashionable manner, over a broad, high forehead. She was an orator ox no mean ability, and her lecture tours were always pro ductive of much rebellion among the men and great results in the way of in dependence among the women. Mrs. Livermore was interested in charitable institutions and prison reform, as well as suffrage. She never, during her thirty years' career, lost any of the small vanities which strong-minded women are supposed to be without. On one occasion, when Mrs. Livermore was lost in New York, during the constitu tional convention furor, a newspaper woman interviewed her, and was about to leave, carrying a portrait of the suf frajrist with her, when Mrs. Livermore ran after her to the door, and blushintr! like a school-g.rl. said in a faltering way: "I tvibh you would tell the artist that that picture is not very good, and and to lriiikeit a little prettier, won't Speaking from her Experience, After years of practical use and a trial of many brands of baking pow der (some of which she recommended before becoming" acquainted with the great qualities of the Royal), Marion Harland finds the Royal Baking Powder to be greatly-superior to all similar prepara tions, and states that she uses it exclusively, and deems it an act of justice and a pleasure to recommend it unqualifiedly to American Housewives. The testimony of this gifted authority upon Household Economy coincides with that of millions of housekeepers; many of whom speak from knowledge obtained from a continuous use of Royal Baking Powder for a third of acentury. you: That was the chief interest in the interview.

Lippincott's for December: About 14 per cent of the entire number of medi cal graduates drop out of the profes sion within a few years. Some few never practice: others are tempted by better inducements into other fields of work; some are driven to suicide on ac count of failure; others succumb to contagious diseases; still more lose their health on account of exposure to inclement weather and accident, or on account of mental anxiety. Among these we must include those who be come insane or who contract the alco hol, morphine or cocaine habit Worse than all else, a few are driven toquack ery. Anyone may make a mistake in the choice of life work, and it is no dis credit to abandon practice. There are plenty of honorable employments for unsuccessful physicians; there are schools to teach, merchandise to sell, drugs to dispense, news to gather; at any rate there is coal to shovel and wood to saw.

The sultan bought him in at this price, and thereafter whenever the vizier became pompous tho sultan had only to mention eightpencc,' or draw a figure 'S' in the air. when the pompous minister immediately sub sided."
