Havana Sod-House: Stock raisers in Kansas and other states and territories west, annually loose a great deal of stock from the effect of eating the loco weed. It has been discovered that it is not the poison of the weed that kills, but eating the eggs of the loco worm which appear on the stem of the weed near the ground which hatch in the stomach and kills the animal. This has been ascertained by finding the same kind of worms in the stomach of dead animals as are found on the loco weed. Immediately on discovering the symp toms of loco, give the animal half a pint of linseed oil and two ounces of amonia which will cause the speedy ejection of the worms from the stomach.

An Uncivil 1'ubllc Servant. A good story is told here, writes a Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, regarding Commissioner Edgerton, of the civil service board that bears directly on the rules established for excluding the public from the depart ments alter 2 o'clock. It is not a very civil story either. After a recent call at the white house the commissioner step ped over to the treasury building to pay his respects to his former colleague, Comptroller Trenholm. It was nearly 3 o'clock when he attempted to enter. "Ye can't git in," said the doorkeeper, with rather more firmness than seemed necessary. "But I am Commissioner Edgerton." "Commissioner of what?" "A member of the civil service com mission," was the respectful answer. "That gives you no right to come in here after hours," was the tart reply from the gaurd. The commissioner fixed that uncivil porter's countenance in his mind and de parted. It will bo a serious day for that man if he ever comes before the commis sioner for examination it is to be hoped. The only trouble is that there are others like him at the doors of nearly every public building, except the white house, in this city. ,, The French government issued a decree expelling the French Princes from the coun try. The princes left a few hours after the decree was issued. A number of royalist senators and deputies have went to the Chateau D'Ea to condole with the Count of Paris. The most of the royalist senators and deputies witnessed the departure ol the Count of Paris from France. Tha police were ordered to arrest all persons who made noisy loyalist demonstrations in Paris or elsewhere on the occasion of the depart ure of the expelled princes. The Catholics of Jetmore, Hodgeman county, talk of building a church. FARM NOTES. Tobacco refuse is a rich and quick-acting fertilizer. It is, also repulsive to in sects. As soon as currant worms appear pow der the plants carefully with white helle bore. Feed young chicks early and often and keep them supplied with water or better still sweet or sour milk. The poultry boom which has so stead ily overspread the country for the past two years shows no sign of abatement. More than half the diseases so preva lent among farm horses are due to im proper attention to the common laws of sanitation. It is poor economy not to keep build ings well painted, for the moisture that paint. would stop soon causes rotten boards and timbers. Be careful how you doctor sick fowls. More poultry is lost by injudicious dos ing of various nostrums, than they lack of attention when sick. A corn crib may be readily made rat proof by supporting it on cedar or lo cust posts thirty inches high and cap ped with a stone or broad board. Don't feed too much soft food in sum mer. Get the young chicks on small grain as soon as possible. We feed on millet seed and cracked wheat to chicks one week old. Small chickens should never be kept or fed with old ones. They are apt to be injured. Have two or three yards and separate them according to size and strength. A mulch of two inches of short man ure on the surface around spring planted trees will help them more than anything else to withstand the droughts of sum mer. A remedy for the maggot which in fests cabbage is to make a hole with a dibble close to the stalk, insert ten drops of bisulphide of carbon and quickly close the hole. A few sods and a little cow manure made into a heap now, where you can throw kitchen slops, will make an excel lent compost for your flower pots next winter. The free use of clover seed and ing of farm stock enables farmers to maintain land in good condition for or dinary cropping without purchasing commercial manures. If you want to make your hens to lay feed soft food bran and meal in the morning, and wheat, corn oats in the evening. Do not give corn exclusively, as it produces fat. Clean out all the rose bushes by taking away the old wood and then shortening the strong shoots one-third. The growth and appearance will be greatly improved thereby. A Nebraska farmer, who has been ex perimenting with blue grass, concludes that all northern Nebraska will prove to be one of the finest tame-girss countries in the world. A number of black Javas have been carried to England. The breed attracts some little attention there. The Ply mouth Bock has never been very popu lar on the other side of the water. Boot crops should early be gone over, thinning them out where standing too close, and setting in some of the spare plants where vacancies occur. This should be done in a moist time if possi ble. Dr. Sturtevant, at the New York ex periment station, found that mulching the soil lightly between the rows of peas with straw retards the attack of mildew very perceptibly. It is the late sown crop that suffers. It is stated that it costs $27,500 per head to make farmers in the agricultural department of Yale college that is, its fund of $165,000 expended for that pur pose has placed six agricultural gradu ates before the world. Weed and hoe the onions, peas and a of the garden vegetables, harrow the po tatoes again, replant the corn and com mence plowing it the very day it is large enough. Keep the ground which the crop occupies free from weeds, loose and mellow. As the weather becomes warmer all the vegetables should bo got out of the cellar and the walls thoroughly whitened with a wash containing carbolic acid. This will dispel noxious odors, and the whitewash will make lighter a room which is always poorly lighted. The problem of farming consists in making the soil increasingly fertile. Manure is the farmer's saving bank, and if more of them would have large heaps of it every spring to spread upon their lands, instead of money at interest, they would prosper better in the end. Clover growth is helped by lime and plaster. Large quantities of nitrogen are contained in the earth and air, and clover absorbs nitrogen more than any other plant. The plant and air work to gether in furnishing an exhaustless sup ply of food for all kinds of food plants. One of the meanest of mean weeds is plantain. It cannot be eradicated com pletely except by measures equivalent to wearing out, root, leaf and branch; then seeds are -left in the soil to mak repetition of the process necessary b fore extermination of the pest is effect The cattle of the Indian Territory and Texas are said to be ready for the trail, and it is estimated that the spring drive will reach 300,000 head. The drive will not be as it has been heretofore, through western Kansas, but will be along the national trail, just over the state line in Colorado. A cold, damp soil, with a hard, imper vious ftnbsoil, is not suitable for a gar den, ajJ before it can be properly utiliz ed she all be well drained. For garden purpose), if a tile drain has been laid, the trenching system is the best for such soils. Any method that permits it to rid itself of surplus mawtare, and allows the air and heat to enter, will be beneficial The same care in the selection for seed should be made as with the other plants. Productiveness, maturity and form are fully as important as size. ' AllplantB in tended to produce seed for another sea son's crop should not only be selected but planted away from other varieties. Sweet com growing in the neighbor hood of field corn will be ruined for seed the succeeding year. At this season the milk is often flavored with onions or wild garlic. The only remedy is to clean out the pastures eith er by pulling them up, or allowing the garlic to grow until nearly ready to seed, then cutting it down. To do tins the cows must be kept out of the pasture for awhile. It requires work to eradicate the pasture of weeds, but it must be done f odors in the milk and butter are to be voided. An Ohio amateur gooseberry grower succeeds in growing very fine fruit, both in size and quality, on a cool, clay soil, keeping the plants open in the center by pruning. When they start into growth in the spring he immediately disbuds to prevent them from becoming too dense, and thus admits a free circulation of air. He mulches Heavily during the summer. With this treatment he is little troubled with mildew. Whenever rhubarb throws out a great many leaves and the stalks are small and worthless the roots should be dug up and transplanted, dividing them,- so that only one thrifty bud is left to each piece of root. This should be done early in the spring, as soon as the newly formed buds are ready to push through the soil. A Country Gentleman correspondent tried the experiment of hauling manure from the barn yard m winter and plac ing it in heaps on a steep hillside to see how much of the value would be washed out of it by rains. The result was that the increased growth of the grass from the washing did not extend five feet be low the heaps. Keeping down the weeds will not be the only gain to come from thorough hoeing. By having a layer of finely pulverized soil at the surface evapora tion of moisture will be prevented dur ing the day, while absorption will go on through the night. After every heavy rain the soil of the garden should be gone over with hoe or rake to prevent crusting. A Black Sqnirrel's Sad tailing. The intensity of animal affection has been pathetically illustrated in this city, writes a Savannah, Ga., correspondent. Three years ago Mr. Jacob Gardner, of Bull street, sold a lady a large black squirrel which had attracted considerable attention while at the store on account of its unusual size and the beauty of its coat. The animal became the pet of its purchaser, and was often given the free dom of the house, and extended other liberties not often enjoyed By its kind when in captivity. Occassionally the chatterer left the premises, but never failed to return when night approached. It was the object of almost constant pet ing and carressing and nearly always slept snugly up in the arms of its mis tress. A few days ago the owner left the city for a few days, leaving the squirrel at home. The little animal soon missed her and ran from room to room all over the house and grounds in search of her, giving unmistakable signs of grief. All efforts at consolation on the part of other inmates of the house were "unavailing, and the squirrel refus ed either to be comforted or to partake of its usual food, from time to time giv ing vent to little cries indicative of grief. After nearly a week had elapsed and it became -evident that the little sor rower's death was a matter of only a few days, the owner was notified and return ed home. Her arrival was greeted with evidence of wild joy by the squir rel, which pranced about the house and jumped into her arms with all the signs of ecstatic happiness that its weakened condition would permit. It made every effort to partake of the tempting food placed before it, but it was unable to swallow and on the following day, with its eyes turned most piteously into those of its mistress, it gasped out its life while lying in her arms. Bonnv's heart had been broken too long to be healed even by the glad balm found in its mistress' return. Against Silk Culture. Everybody's silk worms do not pros per and one woman, who has evidently been very unlucky, writes to the Chicago Inter-Ocean: Had I a pen of fire, and the sky for a scroll, and could -I fly on the wings of the wind I would at once start on my "mission of mercy," and soaring through space from our Susque hanna to the mighty Pacific, I would in scribe in my flight in burning letters across our land, "Let silk culture most severely alone." I know whereof I speak. I tried it to perfection under the most auspicious and exceptionally circumstan ces with every means and appliance at hand for "clearing" $200 in the six weeks required to attend to the "crop." Within 20 miles of a market for the cocoons, wit a every surrounding the most en couraging, my hopes were high but it was all a dead loss of time and money and work. It all ended in just 45 cents worth of cocoons! I know how plausible it looks and reads. I know the inducements held out by silk culture associations. I know, too, that the whole thing is as empty as a last year's bird's nest, and I, who have been so severely "burned," would fain caution others about going near the fire. The only cough mixture before the people that contains no opiates or nar cotics is Bed 3tar Cough Cure. Price, twenty-five cents. . After the strawberry picking season is over, set fire to the whole patch and bum it over. It will do it good. Imw City QwUa i Kama Cm, JaajaS, MM.
