If the wind blows this pro - bleat is already solved on Iowa farms, for they have wind mills to pump for stork and the stock water can run through the dairy house. But if the wind will not blow at that time, then hand pumping must be resorted to for the supply or other provisions made. No hand pumping is done for our dairy. A tread power stands in a power house near by and a shaft runs through the dairy house. If cold water s desired when zephyrs are asleep a horse is led into the tread and he does the work. No ice ie desired for butter making with such convenient -4. Pure, fresh, cold water suits better than stale water made cold with ice. A refrigerator is in the dairy house also. No ace is used in it, but simply cold water. Instead of putting cold water into this refrig- erator, the refrigerator is put into the cold water. It it a galvanized iron tank inside of the water tank and the water passing through this water tank for all stock purposes, keeps butter hard and. nice in the refrigerator. In hot, still weather there is no trouble. for if the wind is missing the supply of water is kept up by a horse power far .stork, andso the water in the dairy house tank is always cold." CLUV G:lt AND WHEAT CROWING ` Th exclusive growing of wheat is etwa,y,, nee; exhaustive of soil fertility 'the wheat grain contains a eonsider- :able proportion of nitrogen in its glu- ten, while its braa is very largely com- posed of phosphate of lime, the minera tan/ante which in soils is always scar - nest and is :most easily exhausted. It has until recently been the misfor- tune of the wheat grower in the older parts; or the country that he has had to compete with wheat grown on soil that has never been cropped. But that competition has nearly if not quite come to an end, so far as this country is comenned: The wheat of the future meet be grown on land that its owner has to fertilize to produce a full cap That will necessarily restrict produc- tion for a time and ' will probably ad- vance wheal prices. If the manure had 'to be purchased outright to supply the nitrogen and phosphate which the wheat crop requires, it is likely that the price of wheat could never be long under $1 per bushel. yet in many of _ the older parts of the country the acre- age of wheat keeps up most remarkably, and barring unfavorable seasons the yield of wheat, is larger than it averag- ed in the olden times," says American Cultivator. "Whet is the reason of this part it is doubt ens due to the inereas- ed 'use of Phosphate fertilizers that cheaply supply what the wheat crop re- tneirees of this anineral. But in still larger part it is due to the clover plant, which not only makes the phosphate in the sail available, but also supplies the wheat with stones of nitrogenous plant food drawn from the air and therefore 'costing nothing. Beehive this, the clover roofs strike into the subsoil, and from that draw mineral fertility wlhirh to hint. that are rich cannot reach. In soils ch in phosphate by alterna- tion with, clover wheat inay be grown. with profit for many years. But there comes a. time when even on such land additional supplies of the all-import- ant, .Ptiosphate must be used if wheat nontinues to be grown. Fortunately, comment ial phaspnet:e Le now SO cheap that it can be bought low enough to be afforded in growing wheat, cheap as that product has become. It is, in feet, owing to tee use of phosphate as much QS :any other factor that wheat is now as cheap ail it is. Cut off this eapply and restrict the wheat crop to what can be grown without any fer- ,i• tilizer and its rice must advent* to ;1 or more per betel/el, "Oat mineral fertility Ls not enough to grow wheat suemesfully. Nitro- genous plant food is also required. This Is more costly even than is the mineral e$ilizeer. V If both have to be =milledy purchase, the price of wheat. must go up higher than it has been in recent Years. Fortunately, the clover plant supplies the deficiency of nitrogen. not as in the olden, wasteful tithes by being growth eo plow under for the wheat crap, but by filling the soil with clover roods and the barn with clover hay, to be fed to stork and thus turned into manure. The plowing under of clov- er is an excessively wasteful polo'y. It furnishes at midsummer a mass of , highly nitrogenous plant food, which make:, a. ran4aut wheat growth in the fall, but which Ls mostly washed out of the (toil by the rains and melting snows f the following winter. It is this waste of fertility that makes the old method of growing wheat impossible now. even if it did not involve a two years' use of the land to produce the single grain crop. "fhter ow.matter Th < is i mead o beintg plowed under, is out and a second crop pradueed, wlli`h Le also cut. in s its of Cheese two crops taken from it the soil is ricer in nitrogenous fertility than it was before the first clover was grown, Sometimes wheat is sown the is off. year often, he owever, er, clover clover rt ley is left unplowed until spring, when it is covered with manure made the prevkoue winter .en 1 plowed as a begin- ning of the three years' rotation, which is to end with the land seeded to clover again. The first year sad is planted tether with corn or potatoes, the last a crop to be ;old for money and the corn to be fed with the two clover growths and turned into manure on the farm where re, it is grown. The second year either oats or barley are sown in the spring and their stubble is plowed un- der in the fall for winter wheat, The eeiring grain crop has generally a light dressing of phosphate, of 100 to 150 (sounds per acre, but in the fall when th > wheat is sown the phosphate is in- creased to 200 or 250 pounds. It is the practice of some farmers to put on light dressing of phosphate; but no matter how rich the land may be, 200 pounds of the mineral will pay a better profit Oaten less. "Where this policy has been pursued for years the wheat yield has steadily increased and the crop is regarded as much mare certain than it used to. be. Th'e chief danger to wheat growing in the older States is such a dry season as to make the phosphate fertilizer in- effective. But if a very little nitrogen- ous manure either from the stable or commercial is used on the same land with the mineral fertilizer, this danger is much lessened Nitrogen in the soil presents pfm ng to insoluble conditions. sphaoIt severt- thus often on land that is full of insoluble phosphates that a few loads of stable manure rich in nitrogen but poor in phosphate will supply to the wheat crop all the phosphate fertility that it needs. So, too, on other soils will a light dressing of caustic ashes. This, in small amounts, acts as a solvent, en- abling crops to use mineral plant food that without it they could not get at. The ashes also serve another purpose, as they aid be securing a good catch of clover, which ie a potash and lime plant and always grows best where these mineral plant foods are abundant- * ly supplied." BUTTER -MAKING WITHOUT ICE. "One great advantage v ant age that the. creamery has over the private dairy s in a supply of ice to use in hot weath- er," says a writer in Epitomst. "Ice ,n a ereamery comes so near a necessity- that ecessitythat: few would undertake to run one without ice.. But an abundant supply of water will answer the purpose. It takes longer to cool with water than it does to throw a lot of ice into the cream, but there are objections to cool- ing by putting ice into the cream. The reports from all markets now contain the information that most of the cream- ery butter rias defects,due to hot weather. And yet the creameries all have ice. In the private dairy it is match easier to get along without ice. In the first place no cream has to be tatted along. the' road in hot weather A STRANGE COMPACT. Au Agreement Between Two College Students in Life `Mairti Could Not Be Carried Out is Death. One day two college classmates were talk'death sang jokingly about t r hand the inevitable tombstone inscriptions that they thought too often misrepresent character. They considered themselves quite the equals in morals of the best men with whom they were acquainted, and as deserving of laudatory epitaphs as the &silent men whose virtues in life are fiirociaitned in our graveyards. "I sin willing to stand by anything I say or do in this life and hereafter, as leen," said the younger of the two, "I am sure I am as good as the aver - ane man, to say the 'cast." 'That, I think is l,e•eond ditipute," answered his friend, "Our lines and words show what we are to -day. The future will also chow what we are then. But I've beep thinking while we have bean lau„hiug, and ma inclined to snake a suggestion. it rs this: suppose we make an agreement --that is, if you are willing to scant' by your words -- that it is our wish that the last sen- tences we u.tter in life shall kis the epi- taphs to be placed upon our toniu- stonea," Agreed!" cried the other, hastily and almost without thought, and they at once drew up their agreement in le- gal style. Years passed. The two men drifted apart. 'Their strange compact lost its significance, and was ailment forgotten. One day the elder of the two took up a paper and read the announcement of the Reath of his friend. Then he re- membered the contract. He found the agreement, put it into his pocket, and took the next train for the place of his friend's death. He found that the dead man had been a widower for some years. The visitor was cordially received at the house of mourning by an only child, a son just „rowing into manhood. "Do you know what your father's Last words wore`?" asked the newcomer. "No, sir ; he died suddenly of apo- plexy, in his store." The friend went to the store. There he put the same question. An em- barrassed silence answered him. He insisted on a reply, stating that he had good reasons for making the request. The head clerk then took him apart and explained: "Your friend died in his office in a fit of anger. He was 'unfortunately given to violent attacks of temper, and ofsblood atotthis the head that cme it arred hithe m off. He had just received a Ietter, stat- ing. that a. customer had failed who was owing us a large bill. This made him furious, and he began to curse. I hes- itate to repeat them, sir, but if you feel that you must insist upon it, hs last words were—" The white-haired man whispered a blasphemous sentence in the shocked ears of his listener. To have engraved it upon a tombstone would have blast- ed the dead man's name with absolute dishonor. ygreatly moved, the visitor took the agreement from his pocket, and with trembling fingers tore it into tiny bits, and put them into the fire. Under these circumstances it was impossible for him to carry that declaration to the house of mourning. He buried his friend. Then he went home. The moral shock he had received and the thoughts that followed gave life a serious, meaning to him. Death' now took upon itself the office of a judge. It assumed control of his thoughts, and caused him resolutely to set a guard upon his lips. Weeks passed. His self-restraint rip- ened into habit, and took on a higher moral purpose. New views came to hum of God and of his own relations to men. His words era long became the expres- sion of reverent sentiment, and his character assumed unconsciously the at- titude of sincere, upright living. Changed, enlightened, puriiiod, he had entered a higher plane of life. Could words from the dying lips of such a man ,shock the living and bring dishonor to the' dead ? SALT KILLS THEM. A Rome, N. Y., farmer, discovered on Friday that the army worm is killed when it comes in contact with salt. To confine the worms where they are operating he is putting a wind row of P e P >n8' salt around the field; or, to protect a will run aopthat linee of is ssalt aroiouunndeihat. From experiments he made, in which several worms were killed, he is confi- dent that when the worms undertake to crawl over the row of salt enough of the salt will adhere to the worms to destroy them. The result of the ex- periment will be given to the public. EVERY MAN TO HIS TRADE.

Accidents will happen no matter what Is done to prevent them, in almost every family and espeolaily where there are children. A motherneeds to know some reliable remedy for small acci- dents, and what is more she needs to keep her wits about her when they do happen and mot give way to "nerve." The sooner a bruise of any kind is at- tended to the better will nature come to the reserve. One of the comxnaneat of these small accidents is when the baby bumps his little self age beet sharp corners. I€ such a bump is left on his forehead un- tended there will be an ugly dark swell- ing, causing much pain. If a tiny piece of butter is rubbed on immediately this inay be avoided. Many people apply a cool, steel knife blade, and it is also ef- fective. In case of cuts the treatment depends on the seriousness of the accident. In all cases, however, they should be care- fully washed clean in cold water and all foreign matter removed or inflam- mation is apt to set. in. Ragged cuts are more dangerous than those out with straight edgos and take much longer to heal. In either case the best thing to do after cleansing is to hold the edges together and bind with cloth. If sticking plaster is used do not place it over the entire cut, but place narrow strips of the plaster across the wound attaching the enols upon the uninjured. flesh. This will keep the edges of the \soon(' together without gumming the plasterer pn at.

Clad cuts should always be attended to because they leave very bad sears; awl 111e binding- sbouhk not be re'ucn'eak for a few days or the edges of the wound will part again. Burns are frequent among children, If the Churn le deep sir extends over a large eurface the physician's assist- ance i3 needed, but email burns occur frequently which cadre much pain and annoyauce if left unattended. One thing to he remesnl Bred about burns is that the air should be excluded. tin- alted lard or vaseline rubbed on is excellent, and one of the best remed- ies in use is Carron oi!, composed of kizue water and linseed oil. This should always be kept on hand. Another treatment used lately Le comprised of twenty drops of balsam of Peru to one ounce of castor oil. Great care should Ix) taken that the skin does not break; if it does a scar may be left and it is extremely painful. Cold water is very soothing for a burn if it can be kept on continually. If one is unfortunate enough to scald himself and ca.n then place the injured part in cold water until the fire is gone,, it will be found as effective as medicine. . Water is cheap and is good for so many things it is a wonder it is not called into use oftener. The bad habit many children have of sticking everything into their noses or mouths should be given attention.. Many serious troubles Jane arisen from such foolishness. If mare words or scoldings will not help other forms of punishment must be resorted to until the habit is broken. Many chicllren Have beea known to swallow coins, rings and other hard and dangerous sub- stanoes and remain unhurt. Other children may die from it, It is very serious when hard substances lodge m the nose, and as a general thing, the assisstance of a physician is needed, un- less violent sneezing will be of benefit. USES FOR BERRIES: Steamed Blackberry Roll.—Roll a regular biscuit dough out into a square about a quarter of an inch thick and spread your blackberries, sweetened to taste, over it, leaving sufficient dough at the edge to pinch together. Now turn it over and bring the two edges together thus rolling tight. Sew it in a cloth, giving it room to swell, and steam. it for one hour. This is good served with any kind of pudding sauce. Raspberry Delight.—Cut four slices of bread (having first spread them with butter on the loaf) nearly an inch thick and of an oval shape, taut each slice smaller than the other. Place the largest slice on a plate and spread over it a thick' layer of raspberries, sprin- kle thickly with sugar and cover with whipped cream; place the next slice over this and continue as with the first until the smallest slice is on top. Press down lightly with the hand, and with a sharp knife cut away the central part so as to have a wall about two and a half inches thick. Mash up the part removed from the center and stir JD. more whipped cream, theu pour into the center of the bread. Whip the whites of four eggs into a stiff froth with four tablespoons of powdered sugar spread it thickly over the sides and top of the bread,. sprinkle sugar over it and sat in a quick oven a minute or two to set the frosting. Remove care- fully to a flat glass dish with some raspberries and tiny mounds of whip- ped cream placed around the base to give a finish to the whole. Blueberry Breakfast „ Cake.— Two thirds of a cupful of sugar, one egg, one- half cupful of butter, one cupful of sweet milk, one cupful of berries, three cupfuls flour, two teaspoonfuls baking powder. Nantucket Berry Pudding.—Ingse- dients : One pint of grated cold boiled potatoes, one pint of flour, one-quarter of a pound of butter, one teaspoonful of salt and almost any kind of berries. Wet these with milk or water to the consistency of soft biscuit dough ; roll it,spread with blackberries, raspberries, s, cerries or stewed dry berries, Roll, fasten in a cloth and steam it an hour and a quarter. Serve with any sweet pudding sauce. EI:CLPFXJL HINTS. For the destruction of ants, spiders, and' cockroaches a strong solution of alum in boiling waiter, poured over the infested parts, will i>e tound excellent. Tea stain may be bleached by gly- cerine and egg yolk, beaten together, and coffee stains by slightly beaten egg yolk and warm water. Should the stains be deeply set dissolve an ounce of chloride of lime in a quart of boiling water and apply the solution to the stains. Rinse well afterward,. or it will be apt to injure the fabric. Fruit stains may also be removed by chloride of lime, but should it fail, ox- en(' acid will do the work. Be careful to wash well the fabsae afterward.. Iron rust and mildew may be bleach- ed by rubbing on the spot lemon juice and salt, and exposing; to a hot sun. To clean hair brushes, rub them in dry Indian meal until the oil and dust are extracted. It is said that parsley, eaten with onions, will destroy the offensive odor that effects the breath. 'Cite parsley should be served in sprigs, and eaten as you would celery. Oil-elotha or linoleum should never be washed in hot water or soap suds. Always in tepid water, A handful of carpet tacks will be found very.good to clean a bottle, with- out impairing their usefulness after- ward, if they are dried. A handful of ashes from the grate will also accom- plish the same Purpose. If a fishbone gets in the throat be- yond reach, swallow at once the white of an egg and it will generally carry down the offending bone. THE SOIIDAN. E ngland Never Means to Abandon Egypt— Lord Salisbury urged to Rake a Plain Declaration of the Fact. A remarkable article in the Edin- burgh Review, demanding the frank avowal that we never mean to aban- don Egypt, probably written by Sir Alfred Milner, is exciting plentiful abuse in European capitals of 'Perfide Albion." Lord Salisbury's equally re- markable speech on the Soudan expe- dition in the House of Lords on Thurs- day strengthens the belief that de- spite its solemn pledges to Europe, the Government is not concerned so much with the dervishes as with the creat- ing h fstrong1, i n a a r "rah interest rest i g n North Afriea, from which no European pean jealousy can dislodge them. The Speetator strongly urges the Government to tell the simple truth and say plainly that "conditions have changed sinus we pledged ourselves to evacuate Egypt, and that we mean to stay and make Egypt ri eelf-sup- porting part of this Empire." It says that i,ord Salisbury probably will not accept this advice, because European diplomatists urgently desire England to keep sileuoe. They know that Eng land cannot, and will not, leave Egypt, but fear that the frank avowal of her intention to stay would lead to popu- lar outbursts, compelling war. MAN ATTACKED BY RATS. .t Beg Army Snarnted Over and Gnawed at Him as Be Lay paint For tack of Food. The schooner Jessie P. sailed from St. Andrew's Bay, Florida, for Pensa- cola ten days ago, having .Albert Jack- son aboard as apassenger. Soon af- ter leaving here the schooner was wreaked by the terrible storm which swept the Gulf. The crew deserted the vessel, forgetting Jackson, who was asleep in a cabin when the storm broke. It was thought that the Jessie P. went down and that Jackson perished with her. The schooner, however, did not sink, and on Friday last her drift- ing hulk was sighted by a fishing boat. The fishermen boarded the hulk, and while walking the deck heard faint noises in the cabin. The hatches were battened, but were broken open, and there they found. Jackson, un- conscious on the floor and an army of rats swarming over and gnawing at him. The rats were driven away and Jack- son was, after a long time,. restored to consciousness. Jackson said he tried to break out of the cabin when he re- alized he had been deserted, but fail- ed. He soon became faint for lack of water and food. Thou the rats attack- ed him. He fought them off until his strength failed and he became uncon- scious. The rats gnawed great holes hi Jackson's legs and body, but with good treatment he may recover. ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Aubert Edward, i'rinee or Wales Gives Away Another Charming Daughter— elrieeit victoria, the Bride's Grandma, Attends the Ceremonials in the Chapel D.oYat, Buckingham Palace. A despatch from London says:--.P'rin- oess Ma,ud of Wales, youngest daugb* ter of the Prince of Wales and grand- deughter of Queen Victoria, was mar- ried on Wednesday to Prince Charles of Denmark, son of the Crown Prince and grandson of King Christian IX. of Denmark. The ceremony took place in the Chapel Royal, Buckingham Pel- ona. The west end was profusely de- corated with flags, flowers, ete., and there was a conspicuous blending of the British and Danish flags. The Life Guards and the Coldstream Guards Hoed the route from Marlbonaug?bl House to Buckingham Palace, and orowds of people, mostly ladies were gathered in the vicinity of the Palace, awaiting the arrival of the procession. A cavalcade of heralds and equuries escorted the bridegroom, wlio was ac- I oompanied by his parents, the Orown Prineo of Denmark and Princessa rause, and his brothers Christian and Ii'arold. The Prince and Princess of Wales and all the Queen's children, with their fanilies were in carriages, ex - rept Princes Beatrice of Battenberc and her children, who were absent on account of their mourning for the death of Prime Henry of 13attenberg.

All of the houses were draped with flags, bunting. etc.. and there rues a protusion of flowers. The streets were lined with sightseers and the windows of the clubs and other build- Inge along the route wero filled with people, mostly* ladies. The bridal couple afterwards left Marlborough House for St. Pancras Station, where they took a special train for Wolferton. Norfolk, to take possession of Appleton Hall, which will ht nceforth be their home. Among the wedding guests were the members of the Cabinet and the mem- bers of the diplomatic corps. Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone omugded the same pew with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain during the ceremony in the Chapel R ayal. Vast crowds lined the streets an cheered the bridal proeession as it was returning from Buckingham Palace to Marllorough House, the Lon- don residence of the Prince of Wales. Princess Jel et ud's bridal gown is of ivory satin. Royal customs differ from those of plain folk in that they' permit a wedding gown to be cut de- coliete and with short sleeves. About the square decolletage are soft folds of mousseline de some, delicately en- twined with trails at the proper bridal flowers, which are orange blossoms, jessautine and myrtle, with an occa- sional glossy dark green leaf. At both front and back the satin of the bodice is drawn in folds to the left side, where it forms a deep ceinture elaborately embroidered in silver and brilliants. The sleeves are short puffs made of sheerest white chiffon, with lines of the bridal flowers drawn down be. tween them. The skirt is, of course, plain, and hangs in deep, lustrous folds. About the bottom is a deep rouche of chiffon, with the trio of delicate flowers. The train is part of the skirt and is four and a half:' yards in length. It is fastened at the left side with bows of chiffon and trails of the fresh flowers. Another departure from ordinary custom is the wearing of the bridal veil away from the face, as royal brides are privileged to do. It is of rarest old lace, and was very becoming.

In this belief he had the best scientists and medical men of the world occupying exactly the same pre- mises. Indeed, the ordinary lay- man recognizedl this principle tong ago. Everyone knows that let disease or injury affect this part of the "human system and death is almost certain.
