I remember with great 'distinctness
every incident, almost every feeling of
the last few hours of my stay at St.
Bartimeu's. It was a very close Sep­
tember afternoon. A hot sunny morn­
ing with a strong wind, which seemed
saturated with the past heat of the
summer, had given place to a sunless
soon, and now the wind hid fallen,
and an ominous stillness seemed
to shut us off from the noises
of the outer world, and to
magnify into. startling signifi­
cance the sudden movinsr of a^ehair
near at hand, and to give a hollow
solemnity to the casual utteranoes of
familiar voices.
"I think the sooner yotfre off the

said
Toplis,in the voice of a man who was
accustomed to take reassuring views of
things in general, especially the catch­
ing of trams for the encouragement of
fidgety spinsters.
With another cordial "Good-bye,"I
left the peaceful precincts of St. Bar
limeus's, and, under the care of the
skillful charioteer Toplis, was
soon bowling along the Edg
ware-road, en route to
Hanover
Lodge.
For a time my busy thoughts and an­
ticipations were accompanied by the
noise of the traffic, but after going
some distance we turned off to the loft,
and then, the farther we went, the
quieter it became, and I noticed more
than ever the deep stillness of the air,
from which all the life of sound seemed
to have been sucked up by the prevail­
ing electricity. I felt it in every nerve
1
fairly tingled with it and under the
oppression of the atmosphere I grad­
ually lost the buoyancy of expectation!
and
began to look forward with some
degree of anxiety to the unknown life
that lay before me. More and more
oppressive became the stillness. The
sudden rush of a distant train made me
flinch the roll of approaching wheels,
mistaken for the inevitable thunder,
left me with my nervous anxiety
disappointed and increased. After

turned on to a road,

The wheels jolted unevenly now and

According to this A black skin should
be specially unfit for enduring the tierce
radiation of the tropical sun. Many
speculations, some rather far-fetched
and pedantic, have been offered to ac­
count for this apparent paradox but
the only satisfactory one
1 have met
with was suggested lately by A corres­
pondent to Nature. He states good
reasons for believing that the penetra­
tion of light through the skin to the in­
ternal organs of the body is injurious,
and he further suggests that such pene­
tration may occur to a considerable
extent unless special provision is made
against it.- One of my school-boy ex­
periments was to shut myself up
in
a
windowless storeroom, the side of which
was freely exposed to the sun, and then
place my hand over the key hole or
crevice of the door. Sufficient light
passed through to illuminate my hand,
especially the fingers, and show there­
in the position of the bones. I have
not repeated it since my hand has be­
come full grown and therefore cannot
say whether
it is still as translucent as
then. It has lately been proposed to
examine the stomach by causing the
patient to swallow
a
wjjich
jrotect
electric lamp,
will illuminate it suffi­
ciently to. show something of
its condition through the integuments.
I say
proposed, but suspect that tbe
lamp is too hot. The carbon layer in
the rete mucosura of the negro, being
opaque like other forms of
carbon*
must form an effectual veil and thus
that most important organ
be*
ow, the cutis vera, or true skin, a
jdily
envelope of vaccular tissue, pre­
senting a vast surfacc of circulating
blood, which is certainly subject to
brilliant illumination when only pro­
tected from sunlight by the thin tran­
slucent cuticle.
We know that sunlight has consider­
able chemical energy and also that
sunstroke,to which light-complexioned
li
people are especially liable, is more de­
pendent
on light than on mere tem­
perature and, such being the case,the
value of an effective veil or screen ex­
tending
over the whole body may BE
verv great, even though accompanied
witK considerable absorption of HEAT
and roasting of the cuticle, which is it­
self insensible. The shading effect of
the blackness is, in fact, due to the
conversion of light into heat.

The prevalence of glanders in many States,
and especially in some stables of the larger
cities, the contagioas nature of the disease,
and the difficulty In disinfecting a stable carry­
ing the contagioa, call for the utmost care in
buying horses, and the necessity of having
thorough inspection when the disease is sus­
pected. The loathsome nature of glanders, Its
virulence—there being no known cure for the
disease—and tbe fact that It is freely communi­
cated to man, and when communicated there
is no hope of recovery, make it doubly im­
portant that the disease be detected at the
earliest possible' moment.
Unfortunately, this disease assumes various
forms, all fatal, and often a long time ellipses
before the most virulent and fstal form of the
disease shows itself. In the Incipient stage,
as farcy, for instance, there is no chance of
eventually saving the lite of the animal. Hence
the necessity that the animal be killed as early
as possible.
The horse with glanders or farcy Is danger­
ous not only to every other equine in the sta­
ble, but also to all that an infected animal may
come la contact with. A stable once infected
it is difficult to eradicate the contagion. Hence
it is criminal to sell the liorse once the disease
is suspected. Tbe plain duty is to have a care'
ful inspection made by a competent veterin­
arian.
To enable every horse-owner to jadge for
himself measurably the symptoms ss usually
exhibited may sssist in determining whether
disease may be glanders, even though the
horse may be able to do his work, and with
nothing appearing wrong to a casual observer.
Notwithstanding this, he may be able to com­
municate the disease if he be infected him­
self.
In the acute or pronounced state of the dis­
ease there will be a staring coat, the pulse will
be accelerated, eyes watery, appetite impaired,
and with general prostration. Yellowish
purple streaks msy be found in the membrane
of the nose, and with a discharge from one or
both first watery, and at length sticky or mu­
cous. Small elevations mry be observed upon
the membrane by turning up the nostrils.
These will eventually change into malignant
ulcers of irregular form and color. When these
symptoms are present, any horse-owner may de
termine the disease as well as the practised vet­
erinarian.
Glanders and farcy are really one and the
same disease a specific poison affecting the
whole system. When it attacks the membranes
of the nose, the lungs, and the lymphatic.glands
between the branches of the lower jaw it con­
stitutes glanders. If the lymphatic glands and
other tissues of the legs and body are swollen it
constitutes farcy, and while the two forms of
the disease may occur separately, usually the
symptoms of both will show in tbe same animal
The virus is contagious and lasting, but only by
absolute contact, and the contagion is by the
virus of tbe ulcers of glanders or farcy, esch be
ing capable of inducing either form of the dis­
ease. This virus is so lasting that a year even
may elapse after a bitching-post, manger, etc.
have received it, and yet the object be capable
of communicating the disease.
Farcy is recognized by one or all of the limbs
being swollen, by swelling along the lymphatic
veins of the limbs or any part of the body
Small nodules called farcy-buds will appear and
eventually break and discharge a glairy matter,
dry up, and leave a bare spot or scar which re­
mains. Others successively appear, follow the
same course, and tbe disease eventually assumes
the fatal form of glanders.
There is no possible care for the disease.
whatever empirics-may pretend TJw only one
cessfnl issue 1b to destroy the animal, bury
deeply, or tihrn in a furnace, and then thor­
oughly disinfect every portion of the stable,
preparation of corrosive sublimate will do this
when applied under the direction of a veterin­
ary surgeen but where it may be applied a jet
of highly heated (dry) steam is tbe surest agent

The saccesB In growing alfalfa In Colorado
and California is well known, bat a correspon
dent of the American Agriculturist reports
most profitable growth In New York, where the
climate and soil is hardly as favorable as in
most portions of the Northwest This writer
says:
"As a result of several season's trials we
have found alfalfa to make an abundant, vigor­
ous, healthy growth in northern New York,
where the soil is cold and the thermometer will
drop to IS or more degrees below aero ia win­
ter. On April 20th our alfalfa plots begin a vig­
orous growth, and on June 2d the first cuttlngis
usually made. One plot yielded st the rate of
over ten tons per acre of green fodder: another
seven and one-half tons per sere. On July 17th
the plots were again cut, and yielded at the rate
of over six tons per acre. On freptember 8rd
another crop of over three tons per acre was
harvested, aud on Oct. 2d one plot wss cut
which yielded at the rate of over three tons per
acre. Tbeee plots have made good growth for
three successive years. The foliage is very suc­
culent, and tbe stock of the fsrm relish It very
much. The average sight of the plants just
before making the frot cutting wat two feet
foar inches, as near as could be ascertained,
though some plants attained a height of two
feet nine inches. The plots were not manured.
BLAUX SBASS IN THS WXST.
Prof, Bessey, Nebraska, writing to the Amer­
ican Agriculturist of grasses In the West, says
A careful study of the problem upon tbe
ground shows that Kentucky blue grass ean be
well grown upon the soil of the plains. In the
vicinity of the old forts, where many years ago
the nited States troops were stationed, Ken­
tucky bine grass has been growing for a long
time. The seeds scattered from the bay used
foi feeding tbe horses germinated and took
root npon tbe unbroken prairie sod, and in time
actually crowded out the wild grasses. The
hint thus accidentally given has been acted
upon, and today tbere are many fine blue-grass
pastures upon ground which has never felt the
plowshare.
Timotby thrives npon the soil of the plains,
and fields gf it may be seen every year in East-"
era Nebraska, which rival any ever seen ia
the East. It is now fast replacing the wild
grasses for hsy. On the lowlands bordering
the Platte River timothy furnishes a perennial
pasture, which endures the tresding of cattle
aimost as well as blue grass Itself. It Is aow
known, moreover, thst timothy" will produce
seed of superior quality In great abundance,
indicating very strongly its complete adaptation
to the climate and soil.
CABFCT MOTHS.
The following remedy is vouched for by a
lady who has used it many years with entire
success In driving out and keeping ont moths
and Buffalo bags from carpets: Sweep the
carpet thoroughly, then go over each bresdth
separately and in all^the corners with the fol­
lowing mixture: To three qaarts of pure cold
water add three tsblespodhs of turpentine. In
this thoroughly saturate a sponge, squeeze It
aboat two-thirds dry and apply to the carpet.
As often as the water becosses sailed take a
fresh supply.

Stones of small size are well known to have
economical uses to the soil. Hence it is only
when they are too large to be turned by the plow
-that they are really aa impediment to the soil.
Upon this subject the New England Farmer says:
Stones have their uses, aad a reasonable quan­
tity of them is a decided advantage to the soil.
They graadslly disintegrate, aad wear down aad
form a top dressing of fresh soil which contains
valuable elements of fertility. Excepting pure
quartz, which ia silica alone, every rack contalas
Bore or lessof lime, potash, magnesia, alnnlaa,
soda, phosphoric acid, sulphuric add, aad Iron,
and all these are plant rood that ie essential to
the growth of crops. To pick up small stones
that will easily pass throagh the harrow aad
will not interfere with the seed drill or ealtiva
tor is a wsste of labor aad injury to the soiL
And If a farmer seeking a farm ia wise he would
rather choose a soil that iadfaes to gravelly
loam iritfc an ahoadaaee of stone thaa oae that
la qaite free from it For atones preserve
moistare, absorb heat, and contribute considera­
bly to the lasting fertility of the Isad.

An Kagliah journal meattoas a novelty ia
plowe used in Spain, It works the laad tea

engines, tbe account says, It la possible with
tide plow to turn over four aeres per day. In
easee^ where It la not necessary to turn up the
land to this great depth, but simply to stir up
the under-soil, all that Is required is to take off
the last plow isad la its place fix a subsoil snare*
which may math to a depth of twenty-four or

It is well, however, to remember that this
excessively deep stirring of the soil Is not now
considered valuable except tor a few special
crops, and then only in connection with map

OSS WAT TO Mill BT7TT1K.
An English contemporary relates how a far­
mer pat three quarts of cream into a box charn,
and after churning three hours there was no re­
sult. It was then emptied into a pan vhtil next
morning, when the churning commenced
again, and was persevered with for four hours
longer. The butter still would not "come."
Half a teaenpfal of vinegar was then poured in,
and the effect was to bring butter in fifteen min­
utes. It Is then related that the butter was
msde up, and It wss "as beautifal and Bweet
tasted ss the most fsstidlouf eaa desire."
It the English nation generally are satisfied
with curdled cream, the result of coagulation of
aH the solid matter by means of an acid, they
are certainly most easily satisfied. This is oae
of the 4fsker" recipes of the United 8tstes, by
which a pound of butter is warranted for
every pound of cresm. Bat what batter 1

BATS XXPKMiZd.
A gentleman in Burlington, of an investigating
tarn of mind, a week or two ago determined
to try it again witk the rats which infested his
honse. He purchssed a supply of coal oil tar at
the gas works, and placed small quantities of it
in the rat holes in his cellar and elsewhere in
their runaways.' The rats, bedaubing them­
selves, became disgusted with the manner of
their entertainment, and speedily left tbe pre­
mises, snd have not been seen or heard from
since.
CALIPOBNIA BLACKBXBBIXS.
A line blackberry patch in California is twenty
acres in extent. Daring the hight of the season
forty-nine men were employed in picking the
large luscious berries, which, hanging thick on
the beading bushes, made a alght of beauty.
CVSBINT NOTIS.
Inflammations are more safely and far more
agreeably subdued by the application of warm
water than of cold.
Veterinary surgeonB think that the overdraw
check-reiq, by reason of muscular strain npon
tbe eyes, produces blindness in horses.
It is a good suggestion to farmers to go over
their pastures carefully every two or three
weeks and scstter the droppings of tbeir stock,
so that the fields evenly, and not only in spotB,
may show growths of rank grass.
Is it nece8aary to keep a sheep until it is two
or three years old in order to have first-class
mutton? The Idea among the English has
been that the best mutton is obtained from three
and fonr-year-old wethers.
The National Stockman is of the opinion that
cribbing is a habit for which there seema to be
no cure. The many mechanical contrivances
sold in the market and guaranteed to overcome
this trouble are of no earthly account, in its
opinion.
It is a wasteful policy thst of exhausting the
soil so that it will no longer pay the cost of
cultivation. The feeding of stock, carting ma­
nure on the land and proper rotation will keep
the soil intact. It is more profitable every­
where to feed all the coarse grains on the farm
then to sell.
Very excessive effort In a short spsce of
time, as In running or jnmping the rope, etc.,
has repeatedly cansed instant death by apoplexy
of the Inngs, tbe exereti-e sending the blood
there faster than it can be forwarded to the
heart and faster than it can be purified by the
more infrequent breathing on such occssions.
oThe National Stockman ssys that next to
whitewash for a poultry house a "black wash"
Is best. Boiling gas tar applied with an old
broom is very penetrating and will effectually
destroy insect life, and close np the small
cracks against them. It must be applied hot or
the coat wiU be so thick as to run in warm
weather.
Save the smsll roots of horse-radish for plant­
ing. They should be cut into pieces about
three inches long, ^cutting the top end square
•cross and the bottom alanting in order to know
which Is the top end when plsnting. It is not
advisable to plant the crowns of the plant, SB
they will only produce a mass of small roots
that are not available for use, except for cutting
to plant.
Squashes keep beit in a dry, rather warm
place a cellar with a furnace, is a good place,
or a shelf In the kitchen closet, nesr the chim­
ney. Spinach after being cut up, is kept beet
when slightly .frozen, and covered, so as to
prevent thawing. This can be done in a steady
cold winter, but not easily in tbe open change­
able weather we often have. A pit, like a celery
pit, provided with shelves made of pickets, an­
swers the purpose better than the more elabor­
ate spinach houses In fashion a few years
•go.
A Kansss correspondent of the American
Agriculturist writes to that magazine that he
has fonnd common "bine pill" to be a cure for
chicken cholera, if given a* soon as the fowls
are first taken, but finds nothing -of any avail
for turkeys thus effected. "We doabt," says
the editor,
*it any means ot cure can be depend­
ed on as effective. Tbe cure comes too Iste,
snd prevention only will avail anything. This
consists of great care as to the feed and water
and cleanliness at all times. Hslf sn ounce of
sulphur for every dozen fowls given once a
week in the feed is of great valne."
Sheep should be provided with a comfortable
shelter at all times of the year. Less sickness
and loss would occur If they were regularly
folded every alght. It wonld not only he to
their comfort and health, bnt bring them regu­
larly nader the shepherd's eye, who would
qnickly note any signs of sickness, or snythlng
that is wrong. Sheep habitaated to being yard­
ed in the fold every night wonld give compara­
tively little trouble. They would like it, and as
they are creatures of habit, wonld soon learn to
pnt in an appearance at the proper time. Here,
too, should be provided troughs for sslt and
racks tor a little dry feed. They would relish
these mneh, and they wonld do them good. As
a role, what does them good, pays.
