How to Reduce Your Weight.
When you are dieting1 to reduce flesh
you must eat stale bread, and give up
potatoes, rice, beets, corn. peas, beans,
milk, cream, all sweets, cocoa, indeed,
anything' which even suggests sugar or
starch. Dry toast without butter, tea
without either milk or sugar, rare meat
with no fat, and, as far as possible, no
vegetables at all should form your
diet Take all tbe exercise you can in
tho way of walking; go twice a week
to a Kussian bath (where possible) and
invariably go to bed hungry. Any
body brave enough to live tip to these
laws will certainly lose flesh.

there can be no
growth of plants.
Its supply in right
quantities is one of
the great problems
of agriculture. The
law of capillary at
traction has been
widely discussed,
yet it is understood
by few. It is evi
4'
dent that the same lav. that causes
water to rise in the soil, causes it also
io find its way into all living plants.
So far as possible, we will under
take, by means of the accompanying
illustrations, to show the manner in
which the water is supplied to the
plant: In the illustration in this
column is shown a cross section of a
root It is very highly magnified, so
as to show the cell structure. In the
center we see a disc composed of num
erous compact and small cells. This
might be denominated the pith of the
root. Technically this is called the
axis of the root. Around this axis are
layers of softer cells, the number of lay
ers differing in roots, largely on ac
count of age. In the illustration there
are five layers between the axis and the
4&V
jPJaM
?LANT ABSORPTION OP WATER. --
outer layers. These cells are marked p.
They are soft, have very thin walls,
and have an affinity for water. What
this affinity is. we will not undertake
to say here. There are in nature sub
stances that have an affinity for each
other and will pass through other sub
stances to form a junction. The outer
layer of all, marked e, is the epidermis.
Some of the cells on the epidermis
elongate and are called hairs. In the
illustration they are marked h. h. These
hairs penetrate the soil in all direc
tions. They are able to approach the
particles of soil so closely that they
break the film of water covering each
particle, or rather force themselves be
neath it, and are thus themselves en
veloped by the watery film.
In the large cut is shown a minute
section of the epidermis, a root hair,
particles of soil and air spaces, all still
more greatly enlarged. Each minute
particle looks like a good-sized stone,
but of course this is not the case. The
white spaces, such as those marked a.
a., are filled with air. The curved
lines around the dark portions are
films of water. When water and air
thus mingle in the soil the conditions
are best for the growth of most of our
trees and plants. When all of the
space is filled with water the plant is
deprived of oxygen and in time will die.
If all of the space is filled with air the
root dries, growth is suspended, and
frequently death results.
The outer wall of the root, or the
epidermis, is shown at e. e. The en
largeiUhair is marked h. Where tho
hair is marked c. c. is a portion where
the soil grains closely adhere to the
hair. So close sometimes is this con
nection that it is found impossible to
separate them by means of washing.
Both the grains of soil and the root
hair are covered by the watery film.
This water does not sink down into the
air spaces as one might suppose, for
the particles of soil have greater at
tracting power on account of the cloce
ncss of their connection tiian the gen
eral law of gravitation. In fact, it is
but the law of gravitation applied in a
different direction.
Not only is the root-hair covered by
the water, but it absorbs the water, as
do also in turn the inner cells of the
! root Wherever two such particles of
soil, or two hairs, or a hair and a parti
cle touch each other the two films of
water unite and become one. Wheneer
the film c water around a hair be
comes thin-it supplies itself from all
the other films of water, for "water
seeks its level" hereas well as in the
more obvious application of the law.
Thus the films tend to be always of the
same thickness, ami this How ofrwater
from particle to. particle to renw ex
hausted films is what causes the up
ward movement of water in soils. .

Climatic Iaflnence of Forests.
Elisee Rectus, the eminent French
geographer, in his work, "La Terre,"
treats of the climatic influence of for
ests as follows:
"One may say in' general terms that
forests are similar to the sea in their
influence, reducing the natural differ
ences of temperature in the different
seasons, while the destruction of for
ests increases the difference between
the extreme heat and the extreme cold,
imparts greater violence to atmos
pheric currents and to torrential rains
and a protracted violence to drouths.
Marsh fevers, even, and other epidemic
diseases have often made an irruption
into a district when woods or simple
screens of protecting trees have fallen
before the axe. As for the water flow,
the climatic conditions on which it de
pends, one cannot doubt for a moment
that the clearing away of the woods
has had the effect of disturbing Its reg
ularity. The rain, which the inter
laced branches of the trees allow to
fall drop by drop, and which would
swell up the spongy mosses upon which
it fell, or which would trickle slowly
across the dead leaves and the long,
fibrous masses of the roots, flows away
at once with rapidity over tbe soil to
form temporary streamlets, in place of
sinking into the ground to descend to
the depths and rise again in fertilizing
springs, or glides rapidly along the
surface and goes to lose itself in rivers
and floods. The ground above be
comes arid in the same proportion as
the running waters increase below.
The full rivers flowing became changed
iuto inundations and devastate the ad
jacent country, where immense disas
ters follow."
K iiin; Kaffir Corn. ,
Plow the ground as soon as it is warm
enough to grow corn. Put in fine condi
tion by harrowing and floating or roll
ing. Then take a press drill, stop all
holes but two in eight hoes or three in
nino hoes, and set so as to plant three
to five pounds per acre.
Set drill to run three inches deep.
When two inches or so high, harrow.
Now keep harrowing to keep weeds
down until you cannot harrow any
more. Then cultivate so as not to ridge
up the rows. Much depends upon good,
shallow culture.
When the first seed heads are ripe,
if you wish first-class fodder, take any
good binder, and as your rows arc 32
inches apart, you can cut two rows at
once and bind it as you would wheat.
Shock in like manner, and when dry
stack it. Any good threshing machine
will handle it by removing all the con
caves and you will have clean seed and
good fodder. Get your seed ground cr
chopped, as you like, and you have feed
for man or beast. The whole seed can
not be beaten for chickens nor the
ground seed for milk cows. Plant the
white seed to secure the best results.
Kansas Farmer.
fttntton la France.
Agricultural depression has its capri
cious sides in France; the greater the
fall in the price of wheat, the greater
the acreage under the crop, and the
less the j-ield, says a correspondent to
the Michigan Farmer. Good corn, on
appropriate land, only will produce
many bushels of wheat, and that is one
of the most feasible plans to combat
low prices. For the moment, the trend
of French farmers is a new departure
to raise mutton. The demand of the
latter is very great and constant, and
neighboring nations are put under con
tribution for sheep that France could as
well produce. It is a day dream to ex
pect to be able to compete with Aus
tralia in wool, but she and Argentine
can be fought over the supply of legs
of mutton and of cutlets. Save pork
and ham, the French dislike salt-meat;
they arc equally averse to tinned meat,
and the only way they like the boiled
down preparation is in the form of ex
tract, to make soup. Frozen mutton
would meet with a sale were foreign
shippers to provide centers for its dis
tribution, and prevail on the custom
authorities not to cut up and disfigure
the carcasses as if they contained smug
gled cigars or flasks of cognac.
Winter Protection Yvinter protec
tion is important. Trees are often pro
nounced tender which with a little
more care would merit
a different ver-
bedding in very cold weather, so a
tree particularly a young tree wheie
the roots arc near the surface needs
a mulch of some sort to protect it.
For this purpose nothing is better than
well-rotted barnyard manure, applied
to a dephth of four or five inches and
spread so as to cover an area of three
or four feet on each side of the tree.
Such an application serves the double
purpose of protection and food?
Dry Dirt and Leaves. The best work
that can be done for the fowls in the
fall is to lay in a supply of leaves and
dry dirt under shelter. It is scratching
in the winter that keeps the hens in best
laying condition, and when the snow is
on the ground a pile of dirt and leaves
in the poultry house will afford an op
portunity for exercise, and greatly tend
to make the hens more contented in
confinement. Too many leaves cannot
be put away. They will be found very
useful, and will also assist in retaining
warmth In the poultry house by pre
venting cold drafts of air along the
floor. Farm and Fireside.
Wasted, . aVotMst Markat
American stock raisers have for years
oeen clamoring that then interests are
being injured by the greed of tbe re
tailers of meats. They say that the
prices at which the live animals are
purchased from them bear no relative
position to the prices at which meats
are retailed. They point out that there
have sometimes been advances in the
retail price at the same time that the
prices of live stock were declining.
It is for the interest of all breeders of
stock that meat be sold to the people at
as low a price as possible, the middle
man and the retailer being content with
a fan- profit This has a tendency to
stimulate a greater demand for meat
With such stimulation there could be
no meat of any kind exported, as the
home market would take everything the
stockmen could raise.
Let us illustrate. Last year we ex
ported live stock products as follows in
value: Live cattle, 133,461,922; live
hogs, 114,756; live sheep. 832,763; beet
products, $28,259,863; mutton. $174,400;
pork products, $93,433,592. This gives
(. grand total of $156,177,296. Reckon
ing our population at 70.000,000, this
would represent $2.23 per capita per
year, a little more than 4& cents per
week. In otheFwords, it would be nec
essary only to increase our consump
tion per capita 4 cents worth per week
to consume the entire product now be
ing exported.
This could be done by selling meats
at a fair price. The fact is that a great
many markets all over the country
charge high prices, sell less meat, but
make just as much money as they would
In selling a larger quantity at a lower
price. They prefer this plan, for it
saves them the trouble of handling the
extra amount of meat. They are thus
the gainers, but both the producers and
the consumers arc the losers. It is not
what wc would call an honest market,
which would operate to the advantage
of all concerned. We cannot, however,
expect to see any reform along this line,
as a result of preaching. Commercial
selfishness is stronger than commercial
philanthropy. The position will yield
only to commercial force. The time
may come when stockmen of all kinds
will be compelled to take measures to
see that their products are placed in
the hands of the consumers at a rea
sonable price.
Feed the Corn Crop.
What shall we do with tbe enormous
corn crop? is a question receiving a
great deal of thought at the present
time. Any crop shipped long distances
to market in its crude state cannot
bring as satisfactory and remunerative
returns as if manufactured into "fin
ished products." Whether the corn
crop of 1895 will be a blessing or the
reverse, to the producer, depends en
tirely on the wisdom he displays on
marketing it.
It will prove a blessing only when
disposed of at a profit. At the prices
now prevailing many of us will be un
able to realize above the cost of pro
duction, unless by some other method
of disposing of it than in its original
state. Shipping it as a raw product
involves the expense of additional
freight. By becoming a manufacturer
and converting his corn, oats and hay
into beef, pork, mutton or butter tbe
farmer not only obtains an increased
price for his crop, but also a profit on
the finished product. The farmer who
has or can obtain hogs and cattle to
feed corn, will hold a decided advan
tage over the man who places his crop
on the market in its crude state. By
feeding the entire products of the farm
at home the fertility of the land is not
only kept up, but is increased. The
successful farmer is the one who con
verts all he raises into "finished prod
ucts." American Corn and Hog Jour
nal. Useless Work.
When I started in the poultry busi
ness, says a writer In Farm Poultry, I
had four Barred Plymouth Rocks, a
trio of Black Minorcas and six mongrel
hens. Finding my room too small for
two breeds. I disposed of the Minorca
cock' and put them all in one pen. The
mongrels contained a preponderance of
Leghorn blood and laid a small white
egg, the Minorcas a large white egg,
and the Plymouth Rocks a brown egg,
so that I had no trouble in distinguish
ing them. For the year the percentage
of eggs laid by each was as follows:
Two Minorcas 21 per cent; four B.
P. Rocks, 40 per cent; six mongrels, 38
per cent.
Through the months of April and
May the mongrels laid more eggs than
the other six, but at no other time did
they equai either the Mincrcas or Ply
mouth Rocks.
I have no doubt that a few years'
breeding would have raised the stand
ard of the mongrels, but I shall never
spend my time that way. They were
an eyesore to me while I had them, and
so long as I can get better, or even if I
could only get their equals as egg pro
ducers and have a certain amount of
beauty combined with utility, I shall
keep a pure breed.
Artificial Cheese Mould. It is a cur
ious fact that there are different opin
ions as to the methods of procedure
which is followed in the production of
the various cheeses which have blue cr
moulded veins within. In different
countries different methods arc carried
out for the production of the mould. For
example, in that part of France where
the famous Roquefort cheese is pro
duced from the milk of the ewe. the
makers do not rely absolutely upon tho
natural production of mould, but they
especially prepare a kind of bread,
which is crumbled, and upon which
mould is induced to grow, which it will
easily do by exposure to a slightly warm
humid atmosphere. The mouldy
crumbs which are thus produced are
mixed with the curd, which is convert
ed into cheese. After the cheese has
been moulded it remains for drainage
in an apartment at about 6tf degrees F.
It is frequently turned, taken out of the
mould, the cloth changed, and turned
igain. Ex.
i:xperi:nents with Tuberculin.
At the New York experiment station,
five healthy cows, three of which were
giving milk, received weekly full doses
of tuberculin, and their temperatures
were taken every two hours, from 9 to
20 hours after injection, and compared
with their normal temperature. These
injections exercised no noticeable influ
ence on tbe temperature of the animals,
yield of milk, or tbe percentage of fat
in the milk. The professors in charge
say: "There is nothing in the record of
temperatures that would indicate, eith
er at the time of injection or later, that
the tuberculin would prove inimical in
any way. So far as there is evidence
before us, everything points to the
barmlessness of a single test dose on
a sound system."
Avoid Meanness Josh Billings once
wrote: "Don't drink too much nu ci
der, and however mean you be don't
abuse a kow." And in the same line Is
the statement of an old Yankee, given
in Hoard's Dairyman: "Mark it down
whenever you see it: A man that will
abuse a woman or a cow is a humat
nog." Ex.

"The Ideal Kitchen" treated at
length, described in detail by James
rnoxapson, ana illustrated in the La
dies' Home Journal. Mr. Thompson
says that in the model kitchen of the
present the walls should be of glazed
tyles or enameled brick to the height
of six or seven feet In place of these,
painted brick or plaster may be used.
Soapstone is also excellent The tiles
or brick should be carried clear to the
floor; no wooden baseboards must be
used. The floor should be of tiles,
plain mosaic, stone or cement, all hard
and dirt-resisting and easily kept clean.
Have as little woodwork as possible,
and what you are obliged to have let it
be plain, with as few joints and crev
ices as possible. Your cook will at first
object to this style of flooring, but a
few days' care of this cleanly surface
will convince her.
' WHERE CHAIN CROWS.
Manitoba's magnificent crop of 1895
demonstrates the wonderful fertility
and productiveness of the soil of that
western Canadian province. The yield
of wheat on 1,145,276 acres was about
35,000,000 bushels; of oats, nearly 30,
000,000 bushels on 482,578 acres; of bar
ley, 6,000.000 on 153,839 acres, and there
were besides 1,250,000 bushels of flax,
65,000 bushels of rye and 25,000 bushels
of peas. 'This is an average of over 30
bushels of wheat to the acre, of 60 bush
els of oats, and of 39 bushels of barley;
and this immenso crop was safely bar
vested by 25,000 farmers, many of whom
settled in Manitoba within the past ten
years with very little capital except in
dustry and energy, and some with littlJ
or no experience whatever in farming.
In the aggregate these 2o,000 farmers
have averaged 2,880 bushels of grain of
all kinds; and besides this have pro
duced magnificent crops of roots, pota
toes, cabbages, onions and garden vege
tables of all kinds. They have shipped
to eastern markets, in addition, thou
sands of head of sleek cattle and large
numbers of sheep. And all this has
been accomplished without the expen
diture of one dollar for artificial fer
tilizers and with a very small outlay for
wages.
Beyond this province aro fertile lands
and a ranching country stretching miles
to the foothills of the Rooky Mor.n
tans. These are divided into the dis
tricts of Assiniboia, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. Tbe eastern part of the f inn
er is also admirably adapted for wheat
raising and mixed farming, and the
western part of the district and tho
southern half of Alberta combine to
furnish the great cattle rancnes of the
northwest, there being countless acres
of prairie land on which grow the most
nutritious grasses on the continent.
Northern Alberta, to which have
flocked in recent years thousands of set
tlers from Nebraska, Kansas, Wash
ington and othor states, is the poor
man's paradise, and although it has
only had the advantages of railway
communication since 1891, is rapidly
filling up. There is practically no tax
ation in these districts, except for ed
ucational purposes, and each one pos
sesses every requisite in climate, soil,
fuel, water, etc. that the most favored

try is more prosperous than tin.; Cana

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Never slice apples for making pies;
quarter and core, and if an apple is
large cut each quarter in two pieces.
Sift a tablespoonful of pulverized
sugar over the top of two-crust pies be
fore baking, and see how delicious it
makes them.
If vegetables are boiled in soft water
it is said that the freshness and green
ness of their color will be thus best pre
served. Nothing will give such a polish to
glass, even the finest, as slightly moist
newspaper to wash it and dry newspa
per to give the finishing touches.
Letting clothes hang after they are
dry, or letting them hang through a
storm, or in windy weather to slap
about, is not conductive to long wear
ing or to help the good man's pocket
book. A clothespin bag. made of bed tick
ing or something stout, in the form of
a pocket with a slit on the front side,
is much easier to get at than a common
bag. A bed ticking apron with a large
pocket across the bottom is better than
either.
A new method of cleaning clothes is
suggested. Dip the clothes brush in the
yolk of an egg, so that the bristles are
quite wet. Allow it to dry and then use.
This treatment has, it is said, the effect
to make the brushing especially effect

When Selecting Your Reading: Matter
THE COMIX! YEAK, you will, no doubt, decide on securing the best, especially if the best costs less than
something inferior," both in quality and quantity. The Omaha Hce, always to the front of the
newspapers in the west, has long been rccognied as one of the leading publications in the country. It
has done more, and is now doing more, toward upbuilding the great west, than any other pnper.
About two years ago its publishers, determined to bring The Weekly lice into every farmhouse in the
west, especially in its own state and the states immediately adjoining Nebraska, put the price down to
Q5 CeritS Vcr ycar an unheard of figure for a lt-'-page weekly publication. This pnee still prevails. Not
content with'thK the publishers of The 15ce cast about for some additional first class publication of national
reputation, to offer with The Hee at a price that would not exceed the figure usually charged for a single
weekly paner. Last year the New York Tribune, (Horace Greeley's paper) was secured, and this paper tvas
offered with the Weekly Hce for 90 Cents per year. A similar arrangement has been made this year. In
addition, a similar contract has been made with the Cincinnati Enquirer, a paper that ranks as high among the
Democratic publications of this country as the New York Tribune does among the Republican newspapers.
To sum up we make the following four offers for this season, confident that they are equalled nowhere,
cither in the quality of matter published, nor in the quantity of good, up-to-date, reliable news.

A pretty little amateur artist has

and old pink, the colors greatly diluted.

painted effect. Golden and brown but
terflies are poised here and there, and
a busy bumble bee almost buzzes, head
down, in a great clover bloom.
The rugs are edged with a flax
fringe, in the shade of the burlap. In
painting grasses and leaves a mistake
frequently made by amateurs is to have
them all too much of a color. Shade
effects should be introduced by having
those at the back in faint grays, and iu
much lighter tones of all the colors

There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the muzous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When the tube is In
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed Deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an in

In writing of an evening with Loag
fellow and "How He Came to Write
His Best Known Poems" Hezekiah But.
terworth in December Ladies' Home
Journal says: "My poem entitled The
Bridge, " said Longfellow, in effect.
"was written in sorrow, which made.
me feel the loneliness of others. I was
a widower at tiic time, and I used some
times to go over the bridge to Bos
ton evenings to meet friends and to
return near midnight by the same way.
The way was silent, save here ami
there a belated footstep. The sea rose
or fell among the wooden piers, and
there was a great furnace on the Brigh
ton hills whose red light was reflected
by the waves. It was on such a late
solitary walk that the spirit of the
poem came upon me. The bridge has
been greatly altered, but tho place of .
it is the same." j
