T e idea is to construct cotton, cotton-seed oil, and flour mills at different centers so as to en- able them to get local markets for their produce and be sure of obtaining fair prices. The mills are to be owned by the farmers themselves, who will act as their own com- mission agents and employ suitable men to manufacture their own products. The worst of such plans is that however feasible they are in theory, it is always extremely difficult to put them into practice.

A farmer’s wife writes on the subject as follows: “ A choking cow can often be relieved by pouring cold water into its ear. Take cold water in a pitcher or tea t, turn the animal's head to one side an pour a ood stream directly into the ear. This will cause her to jump and shake her head fiercely, and this shaking motion will often dislod e the obstruction. The idea is to induce file animal to make an ef- fort to relieve herself. The neral practice of pushing the obstruction own the throat or crushing it giVee the animal no chance to help itself.

At Hazelbrook the proprietors of the mines own every foot of the land in the locality, and will neither sell nor lease it.

There are people who think that over-indulgence in the use of this fruit will produce cancer, but we do not believe that cancer is more prevalent than formerly, or that many cases of it can be traced to the extravagant use of toma- toes. Die Lewis, who was considerable of crank when all is said and done, said that an over-liberal eating of tomatoes would produce salivation. 0f the truth of this statement we have no' knowledge, but have never met any one suti‘ering in that way from such a cause. 7 Aavua u u vâ€"-â€"- An Epicure who is famous as a lay-writ- er, and who was afflicted with Bright’s dis- ease, says that the proper way to prepare a tomato that is to be eaten raw, is to dip it for a second into boiling water, peal 03' the skin, which will then slip off easily; let it get very cold, and eat it with only salt. Its own acid is suficient without vinegar. Be careful, however, about buying tomatoes in tin cans that are over a year old.
