An Editor Humiliated.

i A country editor was made to'

A small farmer of Buckingham
shire, England, carried his child
to the parish church recently to be
baptized. When the rector asked
him to “name this cuild” the proud
father rattled off twenty-six Bibli
cal names representing every let
ter in the alphabet, beginning
with Abel and ending with Zaeha-
riab. The rector was staggered
for a moment, but he finally per
suaded the farmer to be contented
with the first and the last of the
proposed names.

They tell of a citizen of River-
side,; California, who says he al
ways votes a straight republican
ticket, bat believes in the right to

commenced by scratching off every
name on the ticket, and then he
filled in their places with names
from the other tickets. When fix
ed up to suit him, he voted it,
saying that he always voted the

The bead is long, well filled, the i imaginative scientists that chemis-

would nourish trad
strengthen the human body, ana
prolong life, without calling on the:
animal or vegetable creation; in j
other words,, would do away with
the necessity of slaughtering cat
tle, or eating’grain to sustain hu
man life. This view was-eonsid-
*■
ered chimerical until the scientists
succeeded in artificially creating
matter ; in other words, substances
which are only found! in' plants
and animals, which have had life.
Now comes the -report that an
Italian named Succi, managed to
sustain life for a long period, of
time by a liquid ^preparation; he
abstaining from all ordinary food.
Then there is Dr. B. 0. Fisher, of
Sharon, Penn., who has a prepara
tion which allows him to take long
fasts, without eating any food.
His contention! is_,tkat’ ordinary
medicines are apt to be ineffective,
because the process of digesting
food interferes with 1their action.
Hence, he says, his discovery helps
to cure disease, because the patient
can abstain from food without det
riment, while under -the care of
the physician. The superiority of
Dr. Fisher’s nutriment over Sue-
ci’s preparation lies in the fact
that, 3 while the latter only'sub
jects himself t& abstinence, any
one can, with Fisher’s discovery,
stop eating food for quite a long
period. All this may seem a trifle
absurd, but there is no reason in
the nature of things, why the
chemistry of the future may not
supply us with artificial food,
which may replace some of the va
rious forms of protoplasm upon
which human beings now subsist.
Among the visitors at the pano
rama of Bull Bun at Washington
the other day was a lady of striking
appearance, who seemed greatly in
terested in the picture of the fight.
When the lecturer began to de
scribe that portion of the battle
near the railroad track, and said,
“the conflict here can only be
likened to features of the battle at
Gettysburg, and the dash at this
point is said to have equalled the
famous Pickett’s charge,” the lady
seemed to take greater interest in
the picture, and when- she tnrned
to look at the lecturer, he recog
nized her as the widow of “Gen.
Pickett, that dashing Yirginian,
who led the Confederate charge at
Gettysburg. The lady is living at
Washington now, and ^her name
appears on the pay-roll of the In
terior. Department as a laborer.
But Mrs. Pickett is not required to
do a laborer’s work. She is assign
ed to clerical work. She is a ri«
fined and cultured woman, and is
only one among the widows of
renowned soldiers bn both sides of
the late war whojfilF small places

seed white, not very hard, and is • try would
easily shelled—indeed it shatters
almost too easily. If the first
growth is cut down for fodder when
it blooms, the roots send out twq
or three new stalks- that mature* a
full crop before frost, both of seed
and fodder again. It -appears to
be more of an air feeder than any
other sorghum, exhausts the land
less, and leaves no troublesome
stubble. Kaffir also bears thicker
planting. The rows need never be
over 3 feetT On good land i to 6
general attention. At this time i
there are more than one hundred;
varieties of sorghums known, all j
of them probably originating in the ;
tropics of Scuth America, Asia or j
Africa. A dozen or twenty of|
them.are more "or less used here j
as forage plants, but nine-tenths
of the farmers from Virginia to
Texas use none of them, thinking
of them as nothing better or more
important than chicken com.
But here and there is found one
who has used some sort of sor
ghums as a resource for both fod
der and grain j 5 for farm purposes,
and having found]' the value of
them, will never again be without
them. After several years, rely
ing largely on Early Amber or
Orange cane, Millo Maize, Kaffir
corn, African millet and other
sorts, the writer is free to say that
he would hardly know how to get
along without them. They yield a
paying'erop onlland that will make
nothing else; ’they are so easily
cultivated that they will wait for
rain in dry weather, and make a
full'crop after the last vestige of
upland corn has perished in
drouth. If wanted for fodder
alone, some of them will make two
tons of fodder af’the cost of gath
ering alone of a ton of corn
blades.
There is no question of the value
of the grain from nearly all these
varieties for stock food. Horses,
mules, cows and hogs eat them,
and do as well as when fed on
corn. The yield of any of them,
on upland, will be hardly ever less
than double the yield of corn.
The only question to be deter
mined in my mind, is, not as to
whether or not I shall rely chiefly
on these grains for feeding my
farm, but which is the best variety
for all purposes.
The Early Amber and Orange
canes sown in drills, has furnished
me abundantly of green food,
from June to September, for years
past. If any gets too old and hard
to feed green, the hogs will chew
up the whole stalk and fatten on
the juices and seeds, leaving the
fibre begasse, just like a cane mill
leaves it. I have found no harm
resulting from liberal feeding of
the green cane to working stock.
Millo Maize yields enormously of
foda8r, and is good as green feed,
or as cured fodder. It stools from
the ground and suckers from the
joints, and keeps green all the
summer. But the seed ripen too
late, or not at all, if too early frost.
It will come again as often as cut,
and is therefore valuable for soil
ing. It does not seem to be any
more exhaustive of land than the
sweet sorghums, but the stubble it
leaves is tougb, hard to move, and
takes two years or more to decay.
African millet does hot stool like
millo but grows as tall, 8 to 10 feet,
suckers from the joints freely, and
if the main stalk is cut down,
shoots out a number of stalks from
the roots. Its seed heads are large,
long and solid, the grain white,
flinty, and for grain alone I should
prefer itjover all others. It matures
the main crop early in August and
if the first stalks were cut - in the
bloom, the second growth of stalks
will still make abundantly of seed.
If Fhad a mill to crush the grain
before feeding it, I would not want
to plant any more upland corn. All
sorts-of grain perhaps ought to be
crushed or ground, especially such
small grain as the sorghums. §
Kaffir corn is different from all
other sorghums in its habit of
growth. AH others I have seen
grow 8 or 10 feet^but this never
over 6 feet. The stalk is stocky,
tire foliage wideband the blades set!
close, as many in number as on a!
corn stalk 10 feet high. The low- ]
er growth makes the Kaffir more
manageable, it never tangles, nev-
1 er cun be blown about by the wind. ■

Repairing
A gold! watch is a very pretty
thing to look at, but it has ruined
many a man’s memory. _ We once
knew a manjwho carriedja silver
watch for years, and his memory
was as good as anybody’s; but af
ter he booght a gold watch he
couldn’t remember the time for
five minutes, ! and his whole time,
nearly, was occupied in consult
ing his watch. And the worst
thing about it was that the more
people there were about him the
more treacherous his memory be
came.
About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pro
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, but without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine they applied
wasitka fire to the sore,caoslngintense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
S. 8. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some atonce. Before I had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. ily general
health had Iwen bad for two or three years—I had a hacking cough and spit Wood contin
ually. I had a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. Hy cancer has healed over all but
a little spot about the size of a half dime, and It is rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.
