Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasantefforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis.thc one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that yen have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If aillicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of ; h igs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

A small dog, perhaps one of the spitz family, committed suicide at the wharf at Green Cove Springs near Savannah, Ga., recently, by drowning. About 5 o'clock the spitz came at a fearful pace from St John's avenue and ran out oa the small wharf, and, after looking longingly into the mys tic depths, decided to return to the water's edge and take an even start with it. After plunging in he swam oatward, then circled around for awhile, finally making for the outer end of the dock, where one of the hands of the steamer Manatee lowered a rope, encircled the dog's body and raised him to the dock. But the dog had no idea of being foiled, but rushed across the dock and again into the water. Then he made no attempt to swim, but quietly lay on his side, with his nose under the water, where in a few minutes his mundane troubles passed away forever. He died of a broken heart, perhaps, and not of madness, as some unsentimen tal people suggested. He consumed about fifteen minutes in ending his life, and the act was witnessed by about fifty persons. Ad Appeal for Assistance.

Mr. Webster Didn't Believe the West Ever Would lie Valuable. In his day Mr. Webster had a very vague idea of the great West, accord ing to Iten l'erley Poore. On one oc casion when he was in the senate a proposition was before it to establish a mail route from Independence to the mouth of the Columbia river, some three thousand miles across plains and mountains, about the extent of which the public then knew no more than they did of the interior of Thibet. Mr. Webster, after denouncing the measure generally, closed with a few remarks concerning the country at large. "What do we want," he ex claimed, "with this vast worthless area? This region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts of shifting sands and whirlwinds of dust, of cactus and prairie dogs? To what use could we ever hope to put these great deserts, or these endless mountain ranges, im penetrable and covered to their very base with eternal snow? What can we ever hope to do with the western coast, a coast of threa thousand miles, rockbound, cheerless, uninviting' and not a harbor on it? What use have we for this country? A FEATHERED FUN MAKER. The Recognized Tract ical Joker of the Bird Family. The bluejay is the most persistent practical joker in the feathered king dom. He will conceal himself in a clump of leaves near the spot where small birds are accustomed to gather, and, when they are enjoying them selves in their own fashion, will sud denly frighten them almost to death by screaming like a hawk. Of course they scatter in every direction, and when they do so the mischievous rascal gives vent to a cackle that sounds very much like a laugh. If he confined his pranks to such jokes as this, however, he would not be such a bad neighbor to birds smaller than himself, biit when he amuses himself by breaking the egg in the nests and tearing the young to pieces with his bill he becomes a pestilent nuisance and they often combine their forces to drive him out of the neighborhood. They do not always succeed, for he is as full of fight as of mist-hie f, but a severe conflict teaches him that they too have their rights, and this induces him to mend his manners. Wantcd Change. A clergyman in Cumberland county, Me., had married a couple and was surprised by the groom asking him the amount of the bill. He had not been accustomed to receive anything of much value, and said the matter was left with the groom to decide. "Hut I'd rather you'd state the figures,"' was the reply, and finally the minister said: -'Well, anywhere between SI and SIO." The groom handed him a S3 bill and departed, in about a fort night he returned to the minister's house and said: "Look here, when I gave 3ou tint ?." bill I expected some change back." The astonished minis ter happened to have only S2 about him. He took that from his pocket and gave it to the man, and there the transaction ended. Mark of a Gentleman.

MATTERS OP INTEREST TO AGRICULTURISTS. Some Up-to-date HiaU Aboat Caltlva ttoa of the Soil aad Yields Thereof Hortlcaltare, VUlcaltare aad Fieri cmltare. N A STUDY of the effect of deep and shallow cultivation and of root-pruning on the growth, of the corn plant, a knowledge of the number, length and position of corn roots is essential. To this end a few hills, at the Illinois eperiment station, were examined Just as they were found growing in the field, by digging a trencn beside the hill and washing the vertical side with water. The particular object of the Inquiry was to ascertain the number of the roots and their depths at the points where they are likely to be dis turbed by cultivation; what proportion of all the roots was sufficiently near the surface to be so injured; and whether by root pruning, three inches deep, enough roots would be cut, eo that any considerable effect should be expected therefrom. Only a portion of the roots, necessarily, could be traced by the method used. Such delicate fibers as young corn roots are easii broken in washing the dirt from them. Four hills were examined. They grew on a black prairie loam, which is one and one-half to two feet deep, and is underlaid with permeable yellow clay. The land had been fall-plowed about six inches deep, and well prepared be fore planting with disc and common tooth harrow. Summary Nine plants, which aver aged 12 inches high to tip of leaves, Wiu altogether 94 roots, of an average oi over 10 apiece. The longest root traced was 35 Inches long, the plant being 22 inches high. A Pnt 4,fe inches high had a root 13 inches long. Twenty-four roots were aminco (time did not belong U the plants mentioned, but to others in the same hill) at 6 Inches from their base. One was 4 inches deep; five. 4 inches deep; twelve. 3 inches deep; one, Zh inches deep; four, 2 inches deep; and one of an inch deep at this distance from base of root. Three-fourths of i. .- thomfnKi would not have been broken by root-pruning or culti vating three inches deep; but all but one would have been at four inches deep. Wheat Raisins In Engl-'"'. At the recent convention of the Na tional Association of British and Irisa Millers, held at Southampton, the fol lowing resolution was adopted: "That the association is of opinion that it is the duty of the Imperial gov ernment to foster and encourage the production of wheat within the limits of the United Kingdom, believing that it will tend to the welfare of the nation; Its protection, as providing food' supply in the event of war; and its prosperity, as affording employment to the work ing population. . "Among the many advantages to be derived from the resuscitation of wheat cultivation may be mentioned the fol lowing: (1) The provision of grain at convenient centers for the working of the country mills, thereby increasing the amount of offal available for British stock; (2) The provision of sweet and pure wheat for the bread of the people now largely dependent on foreign corn; (3) The retention within the country of a store of wheat which would be in readiness in the event of an outbreak of war, and thus rendering unnecessary the proposal for costly construction and maintenance of national store bouses; (4) The increased growth of wheat would provide employment for farm laborers, millers, and stock farmers; and thus tend to stop the migration of the country population into the already overcrowded cities; and restore the land now wholly or partially out of cultivation to the use designed by Providence viz., to bring forth food for the people." Harlequin Cabbage Bur. A Missouri experiment station bul letin says: Mr. G. W. Goodlett. of Windsor, sends a specimen of bugs that are eating his cabbage, melon vines and vegetables and asks what will kill them and that the reply be pub lished. This black and orange spotted insect is attracting considerable atten tion in Missouri this fall. It is a well known southern pest measuring nearly one-half inch in length when full grown, and Is very attractive in color. It feeds upon and destroys many com mon garden vegetables, principally cabbage and its allies, melons and their allies, many kinds of beans, and turnip, radish and mustard. The insect pierces by means of its long, slender mouthparts or beak the leaves and stems of its host plant and sucks their juices, thus causing them to wither and die. It begins its work just as soon as It hatches, and continues to eat and do injury even in the adult stage. There are several broods each year, and the adults hibernate over winter in sheltered places and under rubbish of all kinds. Clean farming and the burning up of all leaves, weeds. etc., will tend to lessen the number of ; these insects. If the first broods each year be killed, the few that always i escape destruction will cause no trouble. Usually, however, the insect does not occur in sufficient numbers to attract serious attention until the mid dle of August. The harlequin cabbage (Murgantia Histronica) bug can be J Killed by the use oi noi water, pyre thrine, or kerosene emulsion. Hot water sprinkled on the plants will kill the insect when not hot enough to in jure the plant, and is an excellent rem edy for this pest when on cabbage that is headed or nearly headed. Kerosene emulsion will taint the leaves of the head and should, therefore, not be used after the plant is well headed. It can, however, be used on most gar den plants to destroy this insect and is the best remedy when there is no danger of tainting the parts to be eaten. Pyrethrine can be successfully em ployed either as a dry powder or as a spray. When used dry it should be mixed with from five to eight times its weight of flour. As a spray it should be well stirred in water in the proportion of one pound of pyrethrine to fifteen to twenty gallons ofwater. The pyre thrine should be fresh and pure to be of any service. Protecting Vegetables. Severe frosts are sometimes experi enced about the middle of September, and if several kinds of vegetables are not greatly damaged then they fre ouentlv remain in a nroductive or ser viceable state for several weeks after- L wards, says Farmer and Stockbreeder of London. Runner beans are among the first to suffer, and at least one long row, or a few short ones, ought to be roughly protected as often as need be either with branches of ever creena. mats, blinds, or strips of scrim ' canvas. The stopped . rows, grown market growers' fashion, lend them selves the most readily to protective measures, as it is a comparatively simple matter to fix a single running wire on series of stakes on them, mats thrown lengthways over effectually protecting the beans. Late rows or breadths of dwarf or kidney beans should be similarly treated, and will most probably pay well for the trouble taken with them. Tall 'peas will stand a moderately severe frost, or more than those close to the ground, and good results sometimes attend the practice of covering the latter when ever severe frosts are anticipated. Vegetable-marrows, in many instan ces, are only just becoming really pro ductive. A few plants might, with ad vantage, he protected with frames and lights or with benders and mats. Since the soaking rains have fallen globe artichokes have recommenced active growth, and numerous flower heads are just showing. Protect these either with a framework of stakes and mats, or stakes fixed over them and matted round gipsy-tent fashion, and in all probability several good dishes of this high-class vegetable will be the out come. It is yet full early to move let tuce and endive to frames, and only fully grown plants of the latter need protection as yet. Cauliflowers will also be tolerably safe for a few weeks longer, but the precaution should be taken to keep the advanced and ad vancing hearts protected with old leaves tucked over them, these serving to protect and "tr blanch. Tape-Worni in Sheep. The tape worm is a veritable pest of the flock, and thousands of sheep pine and die because of it, without the shepherd knowing anything of the cause, says Sheep Breeder. And that species, which has its home for a part of its life in the sheep's brain, would not exist a single year were it not for the dog, which, feeding on the sheep that die from the disease caused by this worm, takes these immature worms into his stomach, where they mature into long, flat, unpleasant things, made of sections, in each of which are more than a thousand eggs, one only of which escaping will be the parent of thousands more and may infect a hundred sheep in a flock The remedy is a very simple one. although a curious one; it is to sec that the dog is so treated as to kill whatever worms be may have about himself by Riv ing him, occasionally, a dose of thirty or forty grains of powdered areca nut in seme lard, which will be easily swal lowed, and followed by a tablespoonful of castor oil twice a day for two xr three days. It is desirable lo keep the dog confined to see that the worms arc discharged. This is a more impor tant matter to the shepherd than might seem, for there are several kinds of these worms infecting the sheep, some occupying the bowels, some the liver and others other organs, besides those of the brain. iiioose fattening in France A Paris paper recently gave some details concerning the methods em ployed by the geese fatteners there. Most of the Paris market people re fuse to disclose anything about their methods, saying that they are secret. However, Madame Arnoult told the In terviewer: "We have our fattening sheds, which are kept cool in summer and warm in winter. The geese are fed at their first and second meals with a sort of pap or gruel made of barley meal and water. At their third meal they are given the same, only milk is substituted for water, or skim milk or the milk which is squeezed from cheese in their manufacture. Af ter a fortnight the fat is seen to ap pear, and then we finish them off. We put in graisse or lard (ten grams to each goose) in their several meals, with the result that after five days of this kind of feeding the goose is so heavy and fat that two days more of the same regime would kill it. Sometimes, dur ing the last three days eggs are put into their food if something very ex tra is required. Ex. American Cij dc.-iil.ilc Association. Janesville, Wis., Oct. 30, 1S96.

Celery Blight Celery blight is en couraged by leaving refuse celery on I the ground to harbor the germs of the I disease. The blight appears in the form of small, yellowish-green spots, that grow larger and darker, withering the leaves and causing the plants to die. It is not easy to kill the disease, but it may be prevented from spread ing by the application of a weak Bor deaux mixture, the application of which must be discontinued fifteen or twenty days before blanching. Value of Bran. While recognizing the value of bran for feeding growing animals, let us not be skeptical as tc its value for fattening stock. The finest beef can be made at moderate cosl with no other grain food than bran Pork will be made faster and mor cheaply if fed bran all through the fat tening period, though a little oil meal should be added. Ex. Money put into a comfortable poul j try house is well invested. 1 Sheep la Wisconsin. Sheep are easily changed even la their most fixed qualities by the agen :Ies of nature. Tbe.beet management that can be given them Is that which Is natural, and to be so It is required that they be under the play of these agencies the greater part of the year. They live close to the soli. The height 3f the land and the aspect of it divides 3ur breeds of sheen into the low land ireeds, the. down breeds, the upland breeds. t The breeds of the low lands ire large 'framed and heavy, being fil for feeding on the bottom lands; the breeds of the downs are smaller, and of better quality and are able to, do well .'or themselves on rolling and broken pasture lands, while the breeds of the hountain are so active and robust that :hey can live under the hardest condi tions if they are given the run of a nountain side. But change any of .hese from the conditions of the homes :hey were fitted for, to others opposed :o their sheep nature, and disease and iegeneration rapidly follow. It Ib a significant fact that the breeds that are :he best suited for the level and rolling ands of our state are the sheep that in .he most profitable ways meet the de nand of the American market. In tddition to the other requirements for aealthy sheep life, the cheapest sheep .'oods can be produced clover, corn .'oddeV, rape, roots and the desirable jrains. The climate is dry and thereto may be credited our freedom from foot rot. With water our state has been freely supplied. It is commonly thought that sheep do not require water. This idea has been the cause )f many troubles. The sheep have very argc salivary glands and so are liable to withstand drouth, yet they always require pure and fresh water, more especially when the ewes are suckling :heir Iambs. Prof. J. A. Craig. Proper ltrush and How to Use It. "Thorough cleansing is the only .hiog that will save the teeth of the Dresent generation," said a prominent lentist not long ago. He then went on to explain the jroper brush to be used and the direc .ion in which the teeth should be srushed. The brush he produced sloped almost to a point at the end. This is intended to reach back to the solars. The bristles were" stiff, with )ut being hard, and were unevenly cut uto a slightly concave surface. "Now," he said, holding the brush in lis hand, "the most astonishing thing s most people brush their teeth across, vhereas they should brush them up tnd down, the length of the teeth. The ip-stroke,"'he went on, "should be ight, and the down-stroke heavy to aring the particles of food out from be :ween the teeth." Subsequently he explained that a silk .bread waxed should be used between .he teeth which have spaces between hem. In the matter of dentrifice and pow iera, there are many kinds, good and narinless. The greatest care should be .aken to rinse the mouth thoroughly ifter using any powder or lotion. Scda, one dentist said, used once or :wice a week, is an excellent thing for emoving the tartar from the teeth. Passing the tongue rapidly over the :eeth as a sort of polisher after they nave been cleansed was advised by one lentist. Adulterated Seeds. The year-book of the department of agriculture for 1S94 has this to say of the adulteration of farm and garden seeds: As illustrating the possibility of the introduction of foreign weeds through seed, it might be stated that of the common garden and forage plants, such as alfalfa, beet, borage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, chicory, cress, endive, kohl-rabi, radish, salsify, spinach, and turnip, the seeds are grown abroad, as are also the seeds af many of our grasses, such as crested dog's tail, sheep's fescue, meadow fox tail, perennial rye grass and sweet ver nal grass. Of the following vegetables about toue-half of the seeds are im ported: Carrot, eggplant, leek, onion, parsley, parsnip and pepper. In the following cases a large portion, though perhaps not one-half, of the needs are foreign grown: Cabbage, celery, cher vil, kale and lettuce. Of course, the same cause operates within the limits of this country, for eign plants, when once introduced, be ing disseminated in impure seed. Thus the prickly lettuce is spread in clover seed, and the Russian thistle to some extent in oats, flax and alfalfa. Our native weeds are distributed to a great er cr less extent in the same manner. Young Trees Are IJest. The question is often asked: "Will not the continued planting of peach trees ruin the business?" Experts say no. There are, says Central States Fruit Grower, natural limitations on the industry that will prevent this. They are the extreme winters, frosts, yellows, lack of cultivation, failure to thin fruit, by which the tree overpro duces, poor fruit, and last, a fact not sufficiently known, viz: that the profit able crops are the first seven. It is better after a tree has borne seven annual crops to remove it, cs a busi ness investment, putting a new tree in its place rather than allow it to occupy the ground or plant a tree in some other place aV use this ground for other things. A good many grow ers will agree with this statement, but the best fruit is from young trees, and the best gets the money. It is not dis puted that the trees will continue to bcar after tne first seVen years, and many times with profit, but if you are in business for gain year in and vear out, the above holds good. Home Markets. The marketing of dairy produce is a factor that should engage the earnest attention of every farmer. We hear a great deal about catching the foreign market, but our home market is of far greater import ance. With a population constantly in reasing, under normal conditions the demand for dairy products will also increase. There is a danger that we will look at the foreign market so much that we will forget we have a home market Whether the market be foreign or home, the butter or cheese must be made knowing to which it is going, for the same kind of product will not always do for both. Saving Costs. Farmers who have large herds of cattle are the most suc cessful because the cattle are consum ers of much that is grown on the farm, and, therefore, assist in creating a' home market. Every pound of food that can be utilized on the farm to produce something is so much saved in the cost of transportation, hauling, etc. It is the conversion of substances' into articles that the market demands that enables farmers to secure profits. Corn. oats, and hay are sold to ad vantage when used for producing heef, butter, and milk. Ex. Fix the hen house so there will be no drafts. Give the family the best the poultry yard produces. - The KiTal Cycle Racers. Bald's defeat at Fredonia, N.

The one is an enormous par achute, stretched over a baloon, and the other a folded, inverted parachute, which immediately acts as a huge air brake and effectually retards progress. On the other hand, should the air vessel explode through expansion, fire, or other cause-, the top parachute comes into action and a descent may be made without the slightest inconvenience. Absent Ones Keniembcred. A well known young lawyer is cred ited with making a harmless bull at a banquet given by a local organization not long ago. Toasts were called for, and to the young man fell the honor of suitably remembering the absent ones. This is the way he announced it: "Our absent friends how soon we would show them the depth of our re gret at their absence if they were only here with us tonight."

Take one pound of fresh unslacked lime, one pound of coarse rock salt and three gallons of hot water. Fill the vessel in which the eegs are to be stored and stir the liquid daily for a fortnight.
