FOB THE FARM ANO HOME.
An IngenlOHi llen*Hou«c.
One hen-house which we have seen
has a very ingenious contrivance for
getting outside hens into a genera!
yard, without a chance for any of the
inside occupants to escape. It consists
of a box, some eight or ten inches in
diameter,a little over two feet in length,
mainly made of little slats and open
only at the outer end. The small slats
are placed far enough apart to give an
open appearance to the whole box. A
very slight board constitutes the floor,
so constructed that on the hen walking
over it, it remains firm until she gets
over half way in, when, by the force
of her weight, the floor suddenly turns
on a pivot, or tips, the forward end
falling down about a foot, letting the
hen into the yard, when the floor at
once returns to its place, and thus
leaves no chance of escape.— Tribune

Bowing Hye in the Fall for ''oiling.
An Indiana farmer says.
Having had fourteen years’ experience
in sowing rye the last of August and
through September at different times,
on rich land for soiling in April, 1
think I am able to state correctly the
value of such a crop. Rye, when sown
the last of August or any time in Sep
tember on rich land, will make more
pounds of green food per acre in April
than any of the grasses or clover will
make in June. We can easily see the
value of an acre of rye sown in Au
gust or September to be cut green in
April and fed to stock. It is the least
injurious green food when fed to work
stock known. In fact, not one objec
tion can be made to it when fed to
work stock with plenty of grain. A
rye patch near the house is more val
uable for poultry than grain. We
carried 150 hens through last winter
on green rye alone and they came
through the winter all right and in
line condition. As a feed for milch
cows it has no equal. Three full feeds
daily of green rye to your milk cows
in April will change the butter from
white to a beautiful golden color.
Trnnapia ntinir Cabbages.
Before transplanting cabbages, the
ground should be deeply plowed and
well manured, particularly with the
scrapings of the cow pen. It is al
ways best to apply the manure broad
cast, and mix it thoroughly with the
soil, as it then will not come into im
mediate contact witli the young roots,
but will be ultimately all absorbed. If
possible plant in rainy weather; but if
this cannot be done, sprinkle on the bed
of young plants, just before they are
taken up, a good quantity of water, so
that a little earth will adhere to each
plant. As soon as they are planted in
dry weather, they should receive a lib
eral supply of water, otherwise most
of them will die, unless protected from
the sun. When inserting them into
the holes, care must, be observed not to
bend the roots, but these must be
placed, as much as possible, as they
had been growing. The distance of
planting, depends, in some measure,
upon the strength of the soil, but prin
cipally upon the variety grown; but
it should always bo such that the
ground between the plants may be
kept clean and well worked. When
the larger kinds are planted, two-and
a-half feet between the rows and two
feet between the plants will be re
quired; but, with the smaller varieties
less distance will be sufficient. The
soli around the plants must be con
stantly worked. A. P. Ford.
I’lg Pen or ritf Pasture.
An exchange says: “There is too
much pig pen and not enough pig
pasture." This is true in the main.
The difference in the quality and fla
vor of pork, made in the average filthy
pigpen, from filthy food, and that
made from sweet gra.ses and clover,
out in the open and pure air, is so
great that it would seem as though
consumers would insist on using n >no
but the last kind. Good, clean and
sweet pork can be made in pens, how
ever. and cheaper than in pastures
even, and has been demonstrated on
the Missouri College Farm. Tire pigs
in traveling about the pasture after
their food will not get nearly as much
out of the grass as they will if it is cut
and fed to them in the pen. It may
be said that this would cost too much
abor. But if it shown that the ex
tra labor is more than paid for by in
creased profit, that will be all that can
be asked.
As before remarked, the pigs make
more gain out of the same quantity of
food fed in the pen than when gath
ered in the pasture. More food can
be grown on a given area when cut off
and fed to the animals, than when
they are allowed to feed it of them
selves. The manure of pen fed pigs
is where it can be saved. That of the.
pasture pigs is largely lost. When it
is desirable, as it almost always is.
to feed grain or other food in addition
to the grass it can be better done in
the pen than in the pastu'e. While
we thus advocate feeding pigs in pms,
it is only with the idea that the pens
are to be roomy, clean and healthful.
To put pigs into small and filthy pens
is cruel, and a disgrace to humanity,
and makes a quality of pork which
has created a merited prejudice against
a healthful and palatable food.—.

The Oroi th or Weed,.
Persons frequently express surprise
at the universality, as it were, of.
weeds. A careful cultivator will keep
a field free from weeds by frequent
cultivation and hand hoeing through
an entire season, and as none are al
lowed to go to seed he may look for a
clean field the following year, whether
cultivated or not. But those who ex
pect to see land entirely cleaned of
wieds and all its wild seeds by individ
ual effort, are likely to be disappointed
in their expectations. Many seeds
will live in the soil for a long time,
just how Jong has not been deter
mined, but in the case of certain kinds
of seeds, several years. Speaking in a
general way, the ground is full of
weed seeds; they are blown about by
the winds, washed from place to place
by freshets and heavy showers, car
ried to new locations by birds and ani
mals, and like the rent in the boy’s
coat, “it was there before.”
Very few realize the extent of fe
cundity or prolificacy in many of our
common weeds, or how rapidly a stock
may be multiplied from a single plant.
At both the New York and the Ohio
Experiment Stations this subject has
been investigated with much care.
Dr. Sturtevant found a vigorous plant
of the Purslane family that had nine
branches; an average branch had fif
teen branchlets; an average hranchlet
had 212 seed capsules, and one seed
capsule had seventy-five seeds, making
the whole number, by computation, 2,-
146,500. A fair stool of chess had
3798 seeds, plantain 4488, ox eye
daisy 96,000, curled dock 93,390. The
botanist at the Ohio station found by
computation that an average thistle
produces over 65,000 seeds; a dande
lion 12,000, shepherd’s purse 37,500,
wild peppergrass 18,400, ragweed over
4,000, moderate sized purslane from
300,000 to 400,000 seeds in a single
plant. Wild carrot and mullen are
both exceedingly prolific In seed. We
have found by comparison that single
plants of either may produce from a
half million to a million seeds.
An acre of land contains 43,560
square feet. It will be seen that a
single plant in some cases may pro
duce seeds enough in a season to allow
a half dozen or more seeds to each
square foot of an acre of land. How
then can we wonder at the rapid in
crease of weeds under ordinary care
less culture, where thousands are an
nually allowed to mature their seeds
on almost every acre of cultivated
laud.— -F. IS. Farmer.

A WONDERFUL AFFECTION
People in Java who Suddenly
Become “Lata.”
A Disease which Causes Strange Freaks ot
Imitation.
The first thing of interest to attract
me within a few hours of my arrival
at Kosala, in Java, • writes 11. O.
Forbes, an English scientist, was a
case in one of the servants of tho
house of that curious cerebral affec
tion called by natives "lata.” It is of
a hysterical nature, and is confined
chiefly to women, although I have al
so seen a man affected by it. On be
ing startled or excited suddenly tho
person becomes lata, losing the control
of her will, and cannot refrain from
imitating whatever she may hear or
see done, and will keep calling out as
long as the fits last, the name—and
generally that word alone—of what
ever has flashed through her mind as
the cause of it: "He-lh-heh, matjan!”
(tiger): “he-ih-heh boorung besar!” (a
great bird). Iler purpose will be ar
rested, as, if walking, she will stop
short, and, on going on again, will of
ten follow some other course.
The prefatory exclamations is an in
variable symptom, seemingly caused
by involuntary hysterical inspirations.
According to the degree of alarm the
symptoms may remain only a few mo
ments or last for the greater part of
a day, especially if the person be pre
vented from calming down. The af
flicted, if not seriously affected, are
not altogether incapacitated from per
forming the little duties to which they
are accustomed. The most curious
characteristics of the disease is their
imitation of every action they see. On
one occasion, while eating a banana, I
suddenly met this servant with a
piece of soap in her hand, and perceiv
ing she was slightly lata, but without
appearing to take any notice of her, I
made vigorous bite of the fruit in
passing her, an action she instantly
repeated on a piece of soap.
On another occasion, while she was
looking on as I placed some plants in
drying paper, not knowing that cater
pillars were objects of supreme ab
horrence to the natives, I flicked off in
a humorous way on her dress one that
happened to be on a leaf; she was in
stantly intensely lata, and throwing
off all her clothing, she made off like
a chased deer along the mountain road,
repeating the word for caterpillar as
she ran, until compelled by exhaustion
to stop, when the spasm gradually left
her. My own “boy,” who would un
concernedly seize all sorts of snakes in
his hands, became one day lata also on
suddenly touching a large caterpillar
My host's maid once, while alone at
some distance from the house, having
come unexpectedly on a large lizard,
the balawak was seized by a paroxysm;
dropping down on her hands and
knees to imitate the reptile, she thus
followed it through qfhe mud, water,
and mire to the tree in which it took
refuge, where she was arrested and
came to herself. Another case which
came under my knowledge was more
tragic in its results. This woman,
startled by treading in a field on one
of the most venomous snakes in Java,
became so lata that she vibrated her
fingers in imitation of the tongue ot
the reptile in front of its head till the
irritated snake struck her, and the
poor creature died within an hour.
During the attack the eyes have a
slightly unnatural stare, but there is
never a total loss of consciousness and
throughout the paroxysm the patient
is wishful to get away from the ob
ject affecting her, yet is without the
st rength of will to escape or to cease
acting in the way 1 have described.
Lat a persons are constantly teased by
their fellows, and are often kept in an
excited state for whole days.
Paper Pianos.
A German paper gives an interest
j ing account of a pianoforte made in
j Faris in which paper was made to
take the place of wood, the whole case
being manufactured from paper so
compressed that it was able to receive
a hard surface which took a perfect
polish. The color was cream white.
The tone of the instrument is reported
not to be loud, but very sweet. The
short, broken character of ttie sounds
emitted by ordinary pianofortes is re
placed by a soft, full, quasi-continuous
sound, resembling somewhat that of
an organ. It has been suggested that
the evenness of texture of the com
pressed paper may have some influ
ence in effecting this modification of
sound.

Salt as a Destroyer of Teeth.
At a recent meeting of the New
York Odontological Society, Dr. E.
Family Brown said:
I will venture the assertion that the
excessive use of common salt is one of
the main factors in the distraction of
human teeth to-day. I am now en
gaged in collecting some statistics on
this point, from which 1 hope in time
to demonstrate what seems to mo to
be the fact, that common salt exces
sively used is a great solvent of the
human teeth. If it will injure the
human teeth through the chemistry
of our systems in some way or other,
that 1 will not try to explain at present,
why might it not also have the effect
of preventing u gojd development of
the teeth when taken into the system
in excess? I have lately procured
some statistics from the Sandwich Is
lands. from a gentleman who has been
there, covering a period of over forty
years, that are very suggestive and
and interesting. Within that period
1 the teeth of the Sandwich Islanders
have decayci rapidly, and since they
have begun to decay it has been no
ticed that the natives are in the habit
of biting off great chunks of salt and
eating it with their food. According
to all accounts, the teeth of the Sand
which Islanders were formerly the
most free from decay of any people on
the face of the earth, if I remember
rightly. You will find that the peo
ple who eat a great deal of salt and a
great deal of sugar are often entirely
toothless. People who eat. an exces
sive amount of salt are tempted to eat
large quantities of candy, pickles, and
vinegar. There seems to be a craving
for those substances after the exces
sive use of salt— Scientific American,

early history of Miss Ransom, an artist

was born in Ohio. She was a great

Ransom became engaged during her
residence in Ohio to one of the wealthy
citizens of the little town where she was
brought up. He was an eccentric prop
erty owner, given to whims and caprice.
He broke the engagement without any
good reason, and Miss Ransom sued him
for breach of promise. She obtained a

Gambling nt T.ontnvnie.
For many months this question tn Louis
ville has been actively discussed, and the
probability is that it will be for some time to
come, viz.:
“Shall the gamblers stay in Louisville, or
shall they got”
There are two sides to this question. Many
people might suppose that there is but one
side, and that in the name of the law, goal
order and virtue, the professionals would be
compelled to leave town, or else conduct their
traffic so largely “on the sly” that it would
not be a public offence to those who disap
proved of it.
The other side is that of the dealers who say
that they make money out of the gamblers.
The gamblers are liberal buyers ot a good
many things, and their custom is sought It
is said that a number of our merchants have
written to the mayor, asking that the
gamblers may be protected, in the interests of
trade-, and not driven out of town. It is said
that these merchants urge that if the
gamblers are driven out, the best class of
country merchants wifi go elsewhere to buy
their goods, so that whenever they “make a
trip to town,” they can have some fun in
gambling.
T his has brought into print some of the
country merchants, who declare that they
are not that sort of folks; and that when
they come here it is to buy goods aud not to
gamble. They protest arainst having the
gamblers kept in town simply for their ac
commodation.
The alleged city merchants and dea'ers
who are said to have besought the mayor to
let gamblers stay, have not a< yet coins
forward with a list of their names.
And after all, the great question is, "How
to make the gamblers gol”
So there has been the great question as to
how to drive out ot the human system cer
tain evil agencies which were working all
manner of mischief and doing in -akulable
harm. Dyspepsia, malaria, and rheumatism,
for instance. Sometimes people suiter these
ills and would like to get rid of them, but
don’t know how. Here is a point in regard
to which the experience of two well-known
citizens of Ixniisville may prove valuable.
One of our corre-jsiudenU called on J O.
Campbell, Esq., of the old and well known
machinery house of J. O. Campbell & Bom,
which was established In 1852, on First street.
"As to that dyspepsia of yours, Mr. Camp
bell i"
"Yes; I had dyspepsia. I suffered badly
with it for years. 1 suppose it was from over
work Yes. 1 fought against it and kept my
self up by hard work. But I got rid of it at
last, by taking Brown's Iron Bitters. I took
several bottles, and it. served me well. My
wife was troubled withdebility, an 1 was very
week and ailing. She took two bottles of the
Bit’ers, and regained her strength. We think
It is the best tonic we ever had.”
From Mr. Campbell's establishment our
correspondent went to the office of It. E.
Miles, Esq., the real estate dealer, on West
Main street, No. 214. In answer to queries,
Mr. Milos remarked: “I had boils. They
were very troublesome boils too, and there
wi re a good many of them. Vitiated state
of the blood, 1 suppose. It was about two
years ago I took two or three bottles of
Brown’s Iron Bitters, anil tho boils went
away. I cannot attribute their going away
to anything but the Brown’s Iron Bitters,
which did the work most effectually.
“My wife, too. had bad blood, and her
digestion was much impaired. She to<k
Brown's Iron Hitters, and it did for her as
much as it did for me. It is a splendid tonic
for ladies. I have known of its proving very
valuable in other cases.”
Now there are a great many people tc
whom indigestion, dyspepsia, boils, malaria,
backaches, kidney troubles and liver com
plaints are us great nuisances as the gam
filers are to the good citizens of Louisville.
Perhaps there may be some advantage of al
lowing these evils to remain and hold
possession of the human system. If so, we
cannot see what it is. Better drive them out
as speedily as possible, and so effectually
that they are not likely to return. The best
thing to drive them out with is Brown's Iron
Bitters. And be sure that you buy of your
druggist the one, only genuine article which
has crossed red lines aud trademark on
wrapper.
Words of praise for Brown's Iron Bitters
from those we know.
Mrs M. Willie Watson, principal Barks
dale Academy. Highland Home. S. C., says:
I used Brown s Iron Bitters with great satis
faction aud profit. I heartily recommend t to
all sufferers of indgestion and sick-headache.
Mr J. M. Field, Adaissville, Ga., says i
used Brown’s Iron Bittei-s for impurity of the
blood with most decided benefit.

If your skin breaks out in Boils and Pim

If you have Abscesses and piles, “Uric

If you have dull, languid feelings, back

It is undoubtedly the father of a very great
family of diseases, and though it may be the
fashion to ascribe progeny to it that are not

Some one has told you that your catarrh is
incurable. It is not so. Dr. Sage’s Catarrh
Remedy will cure it. It is pleasant to use and
it always does its work thoroughly. We have
yet to hear of a case in which it did not accom
plish a cure when faithfully used. Catarrh is
a disease which it is dangerous to neglect. A
certain remedy is at your command. Avail
yourself of it before the complaint assumes a
more serious form. All druggists.
Never be discouraged by trifles. When your
credit runs out at one store, try another.

I am a native of England, and while I was In that
country I contracted a terrible blood poison, and for
two years was under treatment an out door pa
tlentat Nottingham Hospital. England, but was not
cured. I Buffered the moat agonizing pains in my
bones, and was covered with son-s all over my body
aud limbs. Finally I completely lost all hope in
that country, and sailed for America, and was
treated at Roosevelt in this city, as well as by a
prominent physician In New York having no con
uectlon with the hospitals.
I saw the advertisement of Swift’s Specific, and I
determined t-. give it a trial. I took six bottles and
1 can say with great joy that they have cured m*
entirely. I am as sound and well as I ever was In
my life. L. Fskd. Halfobd
