ME FARA Breeding for Butter. There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip, and many, a miscue in breeding up a dairy herd. Granting the truth of what has been taught as to the value of intelligent breeding, it is alto true that the laws ,ef heredity do not over- power all other laws. The most effi- cient rule in improving a breed of hogs is the "`sled stake rule. That is, use a stake on all pigs not filling the re- quirementa, and the others will all fill the requirements, In a milder form this same rule sends' to the packing house all of one class and reserves as breeders the others. This sorting out is a positive necessity in all kinds of farming,' saving seed, grain, raising bogs, growing a beef herd, or growing a dairy herd. Progress is possible only by selection. The' rule that "like pro- duces like" is not true when out down to 'absolute limits. If it were, progress would be impossible, Retrogression and progression would both be unknown were the rule of; "like produces like" absolute.', We could only .•average things by mixing, and could not ire - prove a breed, nor even make a new one. But like produces like with a variation. Some will be beter'than the parents, some poorer., The sled stake rule will keep the herd up to the highest ex- cellence, or selecting the best for keep- ing and discarding all others. Sometines a man finds his dairy act- ually inferior after breeding for butter than it was before. He may have milk- ed a few excellent ciws of mixed an cestry an .t graded up with a dairy sit 0. Some of tha offsprings ,may be bette than the mothers, some poorer, and if he keeps them all he has an inferior herd; if he disposes of the inferior ones and keeps only the best he should find the herd improving. This will be th result without buying any - improve blood. Selection is. the main thing, bu the number that must be discarde from a herd not bred in,dairy line must be greater. Therein and onl. there lies' the advantage of breeding fo butter or for any other purpose. Th number that must 'be rejected is less ened by brsediug in the direction desir ed: Suppose a farmer breeds to Guernsey or a Jersey bull. The hal. bloods will almost , surely please . him He goes on "grading up" and in som instances finds the higher .he grades tb poorer his herd' as a whole. This is'dis coax -aging, but if a fact we should fac it honestly. Why=may this be? It ma; be for the following reason: In • grad ing up the breeds from. all of the hal bloods and a portion of the offsprin, inclines toward milk giving and a per tion away from it. The, law of varia tion gets in its work and some of th. higher grades are inferior to the low er; grades, and the farmer is slower t sacrifice them. Bence his` herd may a a' whole actually retrograde. Selection stands first. of all as means for securing a good dairy herd Raise many, save few, feed well, an success is sure. But, as said before blood is helpful, for training in the de sired line and selection for many gener ations in that line measurably. fixe traints and in fewer individual animal have to be discarded. best quality for feeding steers: " It appears to us it would be profitable to farmers having damaged wheat, to put up as many steers as could be properly handled, and feed them for next spring's market. And we might just add :a word. here: Great care should be tak- en in selecting steers to feed; don't select old.oxen or big, raw-boned, slab- sided three -year-olds, with the hope of having :something big,; Of coarse, such spook would be a big granary for daxax- aged wheat, but it is not the animal Haat can put most wheat nut of sight that will return most :profit. Select nice, smooth, uniforin two -year-olds, with good backs and quarters, whose appearance shows they have some,breed- ing in them. Small steers will snake far better use of the food, given them, and will return more root, even if they cost more money at first." THE DEADLY "KARUNDIA." TJ1 BICYCLE IN WARFARE AN INGENIOUS FIIUNCHIVMAN' HAS HIT UPON ITS RIGHT USE. Slow a Murderer Was Felled by One of An Indian up -country paper tells a eurious tale. A rich lady with laer two children, both •infants, were going, it is said, in her own " eklea" from Rare- aa.gar to a plac,e in the centre of the Bar tract. The driver was a trust- worthy servant of the fanaily, and. it was for this reason that the lady had not ,divested herself of the ornaments she usually wore. But the sight of the j8WC1S was too much for him, and at an exceptionally lonely spot in that lonely country, he suddenly asked his mistress to hand him bier valuables. On ber sus- pecting his real designs and hesitating, the miscreant showed himself in his real eolors and. made her and her little - ones, who could barely toddle about, get r workinia in his brain, that of hiding his crun.e by means of murder; had given his face a sardonic look which made the oor woman tremble. Then the fiend ound her hand and foot and informed. e her that he would first kill her children d and then do her to death. By her earn - t est entreaties she prevailed over him to d begin with her first. He had an axe r and the head being loose it flewo.wety and fell a few paces off, the handle only remaining in his grasp. He stepped into a the grass to look for it and disappeared tain doom with all her nerves on the a strain. She gradually fell into a swoon, . and when she came inland the first t thing she saw was her husband bending 1 over her and her babies crying and tug - i ging at her alothes. After she had left 1 a nameless uneasiness seized her bus - band. He could not reason away his aa I vague fears try as he would, and at !last he mounted his horse and. followed. _ ; his wife and children lying bottnd up • with cords on the ground met his eves. And the story that his wife told him s congealed his blood. with horror. They • both then, drawn by an irrepressible , curiosity, went towards the direction that the miscre.ant had taken to pick - up his axe, and think of their surprise when theyr satv his corpse already lying _ blue, putrid and bloated, the flies buz- zing over it in clouds. Retribution had „ come in the shape of a " krundia" of the, dreadful variety known as "khaki " rareaeven in those snake -infested parts, whose bite instantaneously paralyses the victim and decomposes the body in an hour.

Regarding the house for a small flock and. the °ere they should have a successful poultry keeper, in a small way has found the square house most con venient, with the roosting perches, drop -boards, and nest -boxes all pla,ced in .the middle, the drop -board so ar- ranged above the nest -boxes as to pre vent soiling the latter. The caretaker by this method, haying ample space and light, can easily attend to the daily cleaning and other routine. of the fowl - house, which, it is well to say just here will be neither trying nor laborious if one does it methodically and at a cer- tain hour. ' The equipments for the fowl -house, in addition to nests and. roosting perches, are wide, moveable, smoothly finished "drop -boards," hung two or three feet beneath the perches to (latch the drop- pings and keep the floor or whatever is directly under them clean. These boards should be removed everysmorn- , ing and thordughly cleaned. Pure wat- er is a vital necessity to insure which the stoneware poultry fountains, so constructed that nothing can get into the water ,to defile it, are the best ; the largest size, holding two gallons a water, cost fifty cents, smaller ones in proportion; they can be found. at any poultry supply house. For feeding soft mashes and other wet food, the very best thing for its pur- pose is a galvanized iron tray, because a is easil3r kept clean, and. is so formed that the fowls cannot get in and soil their food or plumage. Such trays come in two sizes, the smaller costing twenty -fives cents each, or P.50 per dozen, and the larger, thirty-five cents apiece, or §3.50 per dozen. Dry grain needs no dish or tray of any sort, for it should always be scat- tered as widely as possible among dry litter, so the fowls will have to hunt for it, and. the deeper they will have to scratch -the beter, as it gives them ex- • Early Maturity of Hogs, There is riot so much call now for hogs that will keep on growing three or four years before they reach maturity. The large hog has always coarser meat than the young Pig, and. the difference. we suspect:, is because there is always some check to growth in cold weather. Spring pigs, fattened in fall will al- ways make better pork than they will if kept later. In these times, too, the hog that weighs 200 to 250 pounds sells for higher price pee hundred -weight than one that is hea.vier. Hence the early -maturing breeds that reach their full weight when one or two years old are now the favorites with farmers. But there is something to be said itt favor of the heavy vireights. If not el - lowed to get too fat the late -maturing hogs are better breeders, especially for dams, A cross of an early -maturing boar with a large, long:bodied sow brings pigs that for fattening are bet- ter than either breed alone. They will be larger at birth, and at ten to eleven ' Months will weigh thirty to fifty pounds more than the full bloods of either early or late maturing varieties. One reason why late -Maturing sows are beter breeders is because they keep on growing until three or four years old, and therefore their food does not go to fat so touch as that of the early -maturing breeds which never at- tain large size.

The fabulous wealth of her husband puts within her reach every luxury that even the fenainine mind can conceive, and she wears the distinction whieh such wealth confers with an unostenta- tious grace that makes her a queen among women. It is not surprising, therefore, that her husband escapes from the exciting turmoil of money- making whenever the opportunity pres- ents itself, or that he is happiest and appears at his best when, having ca,st aside the cares of business, he enters upon the pleasant enjoyment of home Glihfiledrwelini, he shares with his wife and 1 These favored parents are as blessed in their fa,mily surroundings as they are opulent in material interests.

The belief, they allege, no doubt with home show of reason, is in- jurious to their trade, Among the wed- ding gifs presented to a newly married couple, for instance, one never sees any knives, although metal articles of other kinds are never wanting. The Langres cutlers have therefore begged the French Minister of Public Worka, M.. Thipuy-Buteraps, to accept a little present of two fancy knives and a poc- ket knife of fine workmanship.

By the best military experts the bi- cycle has come to be recognized as an important aid- in warfare. once its. pow- ers ars properly applied. In exactly what manner it shall, play a part has not been quite plain until now. The ingenious E'renehmaxa; has . hit upon: its right us@ for soldiers, and.;tbat is as a machine that may be folded up, strapped to the back and carried aoroas country until a good ground enables the wheelmen to race with the wind. The French General, Morant, not long ago said " The infantry is the army 'itself. It must and should take precedence of the cavalry for its own safety. How can this' be done? By means of the bicycle." Some one objected that the bicycle, as now built, is. too heavy. This objection bas been successfully answered by a wheel invented, by Oapt. Gerard, of the Eighty-seventh Regiment of the Line, stationed at Saint Quentin. It :consists of a wheel which folds up so as to bring BOTH WHEELS FLAT'. against each other. It:can be carried in the hand like a valise or on the back. like a haversack. The machine has been successfully tried and, found to be as firm and rigid as the best safety;, notwithstanding its system of folding up. The rider's weight is sup- ported entirely on the axle of the rear wheel; the frame is practically useless. It can be run at a; speed of twelve miles an hour and in an instant can be folded up and slung over the back. By its usage in war it will enable the infantry to reconnoitre the enemy's position and to send mounted scouts and patrols to a great distance. These divisions of bicycle -mounted infantry can `hover their tracks, choosing wood- ed territory, avoiding frequented roads and following stealthily in the tracks of the enemy's cavalry ; can overlook their camps and bring back a faithful report of the hostile regiments. Well remembered' is the story of the German officer, a lieutenant in the Six- teenth Hussars, who during the Franco- Prussian war was sent to reconnoitre from. Tahure to Vouzieis on the, even- ing of Aug. 26, He reached the heights of Savigny about 5 o'clock in the even ing, obtained a good idea of th strength of MacMahon's army campe. around Vouziers, reports& his discov ery, and the next day Von Moltke who had accidentally discovered con firmation of the officer's report in confiscated French newspaper, execut ed the' move which finally brough about Sedan's disastrous defeat. It i such work, which with .the bicycle, i. is proposed to make a part of an infan tryxnan's duty. ays a French writer : "Cavalrymen who until now have been so justl, proud of their ability to execute thes delicate missions, are naturally oppose. to the introduction of the wheel; bu it has been proved that an infantr, officer, ' mounted on` a folding bioycl and followed by three or four picke. eyelers carrying their guns, can accom plash such a mission in • less time and with MORE CERTAIN RESULTS. "In less than five hours the mount- ed - infantryman can be twenty miles ahead of the advance guard of : an army, and without any excessive fatigue he can return the same day. what horse is capable of accomplishing such a jour- ney, burdened' -as he would necessarily be with his military' accoutrements? COUGH REN The danger ni+ bed -sores is ,,,,t always •r. think .. Scott's .�, in proportion to the carelessness :of:the nurse ; the condition of the patient often has more to do with it lied -sores attack ':first the skin over the bard prominences at the end of the Ville, the hip -bones, the knees, elbows and heels, As has-been fainted, the predisposing cause is debility, either from continued fever, as typhoid, or from paralysis and. old age,; but continued pressure,, un- clean bedding and the untidy habits of the nurse is sometimes the immediate occasion of the difficulty. The first ,appearance of a bed -sore is to be noticAd in the increased redness of the skin at some point in the places mentioned. Soon a blister forms and the skin breaks away, leaving the sur- face raw and moist. Decomposition sets in very quickly if these symptoms are neglected, and the blister becomes a ranoxd, open sore. The outcome of the disease depends upon the condition of the patient,: and the removal or non -removal of the cause of the trouble. If there is much debility,tonic treat xuent should be begun at once, while the various points on the surface of the body which are likely to become in- volved should be rubbed twice a day at least, say fives or ten minutes, with some stimulating, hardening. mixture like spirits of camphor, or a mixture of equal parts of olive oil and. brandy. A good liniment is simple alcohol or bay aura weakened, if necessary,, with water. The skin should not be irritat- ed by the application, but simply cleansed and hardened. The promin- enoe of bone may be covered with sur- geon -plaster; provided there is no ex- cessive sweating of the body. When a blister forms, the; part should be immediately relieved of pressure by air -cushions or hair pillows. Collodion should be applied, and the parts kept absolutely dry. If: the blister goes on to an open sore, use poultices until an opening is made and the matter is all discharged, After- ward use stimulating, cleansing washes like borax -water or carbolic acid. Peru- vian balsam on a bit of cotton wool is an excellent remedy at this stage. Preventive measures, which should always be taken in cases of threatened bed -sores, comprise careful nursing, dry, smooth draw-sheets, water -beds or cushions, and: frequent change of position. In particular, the under sheet and night -robe should be kept dry, clean and smooth. nlyuseful to fatten. babies, to round up the angles and Poke comely and attractive, lean and angular women, Riad fino t'the hollow cheeks and stop the w ali. o the consumptive, and enrich and 'vitalize theblood. o the scrofulous and and, mic persons.
