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. Tor the in

Sagar Beet Experiments.
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

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

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

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:

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

building is the best place to make a

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

skin is kept clogged and its condition

Doctor Who Don't Practice.
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. It doubtless seems a pity
