A petition was presented asking that a roduced fare be granted vupils of the public schools, nud it was very The company decided that all children under twelve years of age could be carried at half the prevailing rates.

Ne: mick, wenlth burg, who Pl s i The Cause of Baldn2s3. According to the New York Medical Record, Dr. Saymonne claims to have isoluted » bacillus,called by him *‘bacil- lus crinivorax,’”” which is the cause of alopecia. Tt is, he says found only on the scalp of man, other hirsute parts of the body and also the fur of animals being free from it. The bacilli invade the hair-follicles and make the hairs very brittle so that they break off to the 8k Then the roots themselves are ayacked, If the micobes can be de- stroyed early in the aisease,the vitality of the hairs may be preserved, but after the follicles are invaded and all their structures injured, the baldness is in- curable. The following is Dr. monne’s remedy to prev Ten parws of crude cod parts of the expressed juice of onions, and five parts of mucilage or the voik of an egg, are thoroughly shaken to- gether and the mixture applied to the scalp, and well rubbed in, once a week. This, he usserts, will certainly bring back the hair if the roots are wot already destroyed. The Record adds that the application of the remedy must be very distressing to the patient’s friendsand neighvors. Lilly's Amazons Whipped 'Em. Some of the students from Lafayette college had an exciting time last night with the amazons of Lilly Clay’s Coloss- al Gaiety company, which appeared to a ‘‘stage” audience in the opera house, says an Easton, Pa., dispatch. The students were conspicuous for their front seate and guying during vhe per- formance, and later for an episode resulting from their too familiar atten- tions 1o the women in the troupe. After the show the students, to the number of a score, hastened to the stage exit, and awaited the coming of the girls. The Lotharios ranged about the “beautres,” and with many blandish- ments escorted them to thedepot, where a private car awaited them, When the car was reached the students attempted to enter, but the girls said that the rules forbade. The manager was strict, they said, and the boys must stay out; but the students were not so easily dis- suaded. The girls called the porters and the two burly darkies tried to beat off the invaders, but the students were too nimble. Finally the girls who had man- aged to gel inside usnourea armed with umbrellas, canes and brooms and they attacked the students in such a vigor- ous way that they retreated in short order, voting that their names were “nud.? —_—— Mince Mea’, It is always considered a great task to prepare this, boiling and chopping the meat taking time and swrength, I have often had meat ground at the shop for o beef loaf, says a contributor to the Housekeeper.

To the Editor of Tie B 1 would like to oc- cupy a small space in yout paper in order to state some piain facts to the renters of Nebraska and Towa. Why rent land from others when by going a little farther west you can se- cure homes of your own? Iwent to Grant county, Nebraska, and got 160 acres for a homestead, and 160 acres for | a timber claim. On June 10, 1858, 1 had thirty-four acres broken and on that dny I dropped potatoes 1 the furrows and covered them by the sod from the next furrow falling upon them. I raised votatoes which weighed three pounds and the rest of the crop averaged one pound each. 1 raised beets on the samo ground a large number of which weighed fifteen pounds. I also planted some cabbage seed and raised a number of cabtages which weighed twalve pounds. I planted corn on the sod but the cattle destroyed it. 1 am sure that early corn will be a success that country. Itisa fine grass country, I saw the finest sheep there that I ever saw in any country. and_lays in ten miles from Hyannis, 1ssure every oue wanting land tl y could mot go to a better countr, , this is o ad- ing scheme for my henefit, but stavement of facts intended for who want homes of their own. vespectfully, D. HARMON. plain those Ve Value of Improved Breeds. The present low price of beef shows us the value of improved breeds. While scrubs sells for less than it costs to raise them. the high grades pay well. The recent market reports give some good cul examples, says the Weste: Agriculturalist. Mr, W. Harve Turlington, Neb., recently sold ninety- five high grade short horn angus and west highland cattle at $5.20, to go to London aliv They averaged 1686, Breeders at Greencastle, Ind., re- cently shipped thirty-five car loads of high grade shorthoros to go to Bngland. They averaged 1600 pounds and sold at home for $4 to $1.25 per hundred, real- izing about $50,000, R. B. Wright, Mt. Leonard. Mo., sold two car loads of grade shorthorns 5, at home, they topped the market icago at #5 This is the last lot of 160 head with wnich Mr. Wright has three times topped the market. Such cattle it puys tq raise. R. Camuvbell, [ndependence, !a., ship- ped three car loads—fifty-four head— of high grade Holstein stecrs to Chi- cago, where they 'sold for $4.95. The lot brought #3,826—aver $70 per head. These high arades are always in de- mand at top prices and pay well. Fa mers should look well, now,,to their breeding and grade ap-to full-blooded sires as fast as possible. Early* matur- ity, quick growth, good sizo” and su- perior quality are the requirements of the warkets. Women as k'armers, Farmers who find the business profit- able owe much of their success to the good management of their the Indianapolis News. 1t is c by all that a farmer without a wife who is a good home manuger cannot expect to make money. As a general thing farmers’ wives are as skilful managers as their husbands, and share almost equally with them the burdeus and privations of farm life. A woman who has been reared in the country finds pleasure and health in overseeing the dairy. the garden,and the pouitry yard, as well as looking after her Louschold duties. Where a farmer has such o wife he can devote hisentire time to his general farm work, and at the end of the year the profits will be well nigh doubled. There are in Iadianaa great many women who farm extonsively and are ns skilled in the business as any of the men. These women have made money out of the business, and would not give it up for any other calling. Marion county has quite a number of women who have given farming much thought .and arve equipped to muke the business a success. Many of these ladies are members of the county agricultural so- cieties, and their views nre always given as much weight as those expressed by the male members, Miss Ida Richardson, who was brought up on a farm south of the city, believes that successful and enjovable farming depends largely upon the home manage- ment by the wife. She would have the wife be a helpmate to the husband in all things; notaslave to work, but a woman who takes an interest in the af- fairs of the farm and manages the home 80 a8 to increase the husband’s profits. She thinks the country home is, or should be the ideal one. Keeping Apples. There are just a few things to remem- ber in order to keep apples. They should be sorted closely and the attompt only be mado to keep the best, says Farm and Fireside, . They should be packed in tight barrels and “‘headed up,”’ and should bé Stored where the temperature will be s near 82 Fahr- enheit as practiggble. I have gener- ally found it best to head the barrel up after sorting the apples, and then to pile the barrels Typ on the northerly side of some building or in the shade of trees, protected fram rain until there was much danger of ‘their freezing out- side. By this time the cellar will be sufficiently cool to allow ot safe storage init. There should .be a thermometer in the cellar, and‘great care should be taken not to allow it to get too warm, Ventilation should’be done at night in warm weather and'the ventilators ke{n closed during the day. I generally open the barrels ‘bpfore storing for a long time and sort them over again if necessary. Of course, apples may bo kept 10 many other wavs, but this way I have followed successfully and found it as inexpensive as any satisfactory method. If stored in bins they should be made small in size. Sugar Beet Culture. California papers are prophesying that the rajsing of beets for sugar will | in a short time bhecome one of tha im- ! portant industries of the state, says the | Nebraska Farmer, During the last few | years farmers have been planting beets for the sugar refineries, and in .most J cases have found it quite profitable. A number are going into the business on a large scale. One gentleman has en- tered into a contract with Mr, Spreckles | othis end, and is about to plant 4,000 cres to sugar beets ¢n the Rancho . Ohino, in San Bernardino county. Mr, Muan fast urers General Agents for Full Line of INPLEMENTS Farm Wagons, BUGGIES, CARRIAGES, ETC, ETC, Agents Wanted in Every Town, Corresponience Soliclted THE WAY TO GET TO THE has contracted with the Southern Pacitic railrond people to transport the crop north to his refin- It is calculated that the lana will ir $800 an acre in refined sugar, o v £3,200,000 on the crop. This crop on the Rancho Chino will be a profitable one to three parties, the producer, the railroad company and the refiner. A Feeding Pen When feeding growing chicks they should have all they ean eat, while the hens should only be fed moderately as to compel them to seratch and exe cise, and thus keep in better laying condition. As itis sometimes veces- sary, however, says the Farm and Fire- side, to kecp the hens and young stock together, some plan must be devised to prevent the hens from eating the food intended for the chick This may be accomplished by havimg a coop about two feet wide and four feet long, made of lath, closed on the top with luth, also, with openings large enough to admiv the chicks, but too small to aliow the hens to enter, Under this coop the foed may be placed and the chicks can then eat as often as they wish, but the hens must work. n't Keed Too Much Corn. Corn is heating food. It is too con- centrated for most kinds of stock, und even for hogs it often creates a fever- ish state of the system that requires a good deal of water to cool down. A hog that s kept feverish from overloaded stomach will not fatten, says the Ne- bragka Farmer. It should have water with the chill taken off it with a little fine middlings. This will distend the stomach and prevent constipdtion. It v > furnish the albuminoid food ary to make lean meuat, in which cut. If fattening hogsare given drivk warm, and thus mixed with wheat middlings, they will drink much more heartily t they will of cold watex alone, and be less likely to get off their feed. Raising Oats, Taking the average yield of oats and counting the cost of growing and of get- ting them ready for market, there is very little if any margin for profit writes a correspondent of the Farmer. Yet they should in a majority of cases be made a part of the spring crops, for two reasons—one is to make up a good rotation, and the other is to feed out. My experience is that it does not pay the average farmer to raise oats 10 sell, but they can be made profit- able 1o feed; and oats, clover, wheat, grass and corn make up an admirable rotavion for the western farme But the oats grown should be used for feed- ing the stock on the farm. The earlier the oats can be sown in the spring ufter the season opens, the better they will withstund cold and wet in the spring—much better than they will the heat and drouth in July. ‘rhe quantity of seed should be guaged by the fertility of the soil, but it is always best to use plenty of seed. It is quite an item to get the seed scattered as evenly as possible over the surface. The broadcast seed-sowers will do this better and faster than it can be done by hand. The spring-tooth or the disc tools to put in the and the worlk can be done ve) idly, and in the spring this is quite an item. Another good plan is to sow the seed broadeast, either by hand or with a broadeast seeder, and then work into the soil with a cultivator, spring-tooth or disc harrow, d then harrowing down thoroughly. If the land does not harrow down readily into = good tilth, in & majority of eases it will pay to rll, and often this will be quite an advan- tago in harvesting and saving the crop. It is not necessary to stir the soil deep for oats, neither is it necessary to cover deop; but I have always tound that it paid o take considerable pains to har- row well after sowing the sced, so as to not ouly cover well, buv also to level down the soil.} By having the seed on hand and the wols in a good condition, the work of sowing can be pushed along very rap- idly., Taking all things into considera- tion, less work 1s required to put in the oats than almost any other crop, and they are a crop that occupy the ground only a short time, and if properly man- aged make a good [eed, and can be fed s0 that there is but little if any waste, On an average soil, two bushels of seed is about the right yuantity, decreasing or increasing according to the fertility, ———— HOUSEHOLD.

Cherish your instinots of taste and fitness in every little thing you have about you. This will not muke you ‘‘fussy,” it is the other thing that does that, and not knowing, except by fidgety excitement, what is harmony and the intangible grace of relution. Take upon yourself gradually, for the the sake of getting them in hand in like manner, if for no otner need, and all the cares that belong to your own small territory at home. Have your little wash-cloths and your sponges for bits of cleaning: your furniture brush and your leather duster, and your light little broom, and your whisk and panj your bottle of sweet oil und spirits of turpentine and piece of flannel to per- serve the polish, or restore the gloss where dark wood grows dim or gets spotted.

Huckaback Towels. Embroidered towels find a place in the linen closet of today, butetheir position on the towel rack is question- abie, for they are there merely to be looked at, says the Ncw York Press. The huckaback towel is the only one fit for use. and there is eatisfuction 1n the fact that it is always better every time it is washed until the time comes when it is worn into shreds. Towels should be one yard and a quarter long. "SPECIAL NOTICES. COUNOIL BLUFFS.
