Keep Warm and Save Your Life.

Within thirty days from to-day there will
be many deaths which might be prevented
by warmer clothing. Many fatal case OF
dysentery is caused by the want of a wool
en- undershirt, or of an extra blanket at
night. The sudden changes of tempera-
ture which occur at this. season OF the year
are very trying to the constitution. Peo-
pie with weak lungs quickly feel the effect
of them. Frequently the thermometer falls
many degrees within few hours. Not
only the feeble, but robust and strong per-
sons suffer from such great variations of
temperature. When the weather grows
cold rapidly, the pores of the skin are sud-
denly closed, and the result frequently is a
bad cold, which may hold on all winter
and terminate in consumption or fatal at
tack of dysentery, or that dreadful disease,
the typhoid fever.
If the day seems ever SO warm and
bright, it is much safer to wear plenty OF
undertaking at this season. In the eve
nings the dew falls, and it grows chilly
very suddenly. At all times, even when
it feels the warmest, one experiences the
difference, which is so marked, between
the autumn atmosphere and that of the
summer. There is something more than
the mere difference in temperature; it may
be in the electricity. An occasional fire in
a room dries the walls and purifies the at.
mosphere. A little timely attention to all
these things would prevent a great deal of
the disease and suffering winch are among
the ills to which humanity are liable.

waste or let go to waste, that which, if
properly applied, can be converted into
dollars
The important question presents itself
here-how all this great accumulation of
stock food can be converted into the most
money? Not by throwing it in large
quantities before the stock to be trampled
under their feet This, you say, will make
manure so it will but at what cost Did
the farmer toll and sweat and hire help
during the whole summer to collect all
this great amount of fodder merely to
make manure?
Better to have left it where it grew on
the ground, by which the additional ad-
vantage of mulching would have been
secured. Valuable as is manure, it may
be purchased too dear. Do you suppose
that stock will thrive any better by having
large quantities of food continually at
their disposal to either eat or waste? No,
they will not thrive so we'll The appetite

and regularly attended to. If by feeding
economically large surplus is found to be
on hand at the end of the season, it is bet

have been better and more profitable to
have added more stock which would have
yielded more profit. Don't waste the food,

and those who reject it, will be convinced

Take Care of Fruit Trees.

AS PEOPLE are now contemplating put
ting out trees, before winter, they will do
well to read the second time, the advice
given by f. X. Phoenix, Of Bloomington,
Illinois, who says:
"Most planters are so careless Friends,
if you want trees to thrive, plant early,
on dry, deeply plowed ground. Keep
roots from sun, air, frost, burying in
ground again as soon as possible. If
shriveled bury tops and all in moist
ground for ten days. Thin out and shorten
in tops before planting, to balance the
loss of roots in digging. Dig large holes,
three feet across and two deep, or better
still, plow out very deep burrows, filling
up with the best soil, so that trees shall
stand only as deep as in the nursery
Straighten out all roots in natural order,
fill in with best, fine, moist earth and then
tread down thoroughly, watering, if dry
before filling up. Then mulch-that is
cover the earth two feet each way from
stems with coarse manure or straw two
inches deep. Always put corn, or some
hoed crop, and never grass or grain among
young trees. All trees and plants in grassy
yards, and dwarf trees also, must have
special care. Wash the bodies of apple
trees in spring with strong soap suds
Kill off the caterpillars and leaf rollers
Let fruit trees head low-within three o.
four feet of, and evergreens from, the
ground, Let everybody plant trees, anG
take care of them %

Counsel for the Careless.

The body is machine, and carelessness In Its
management is as sure to lead to evil results as
carelessness in the management of steam engine.
Yet the last thing that most people think OF is
the protection of this delicate piece of the Crea-
tors handiwork from the subtle causes of disease
by which it is surrounded. 1t is no easy thing to
repair the system when in ruins; but there is
difficulty in fortifying it against many of the
dangers to which it is exposed. Guard 0gdinstner-

A "corner" is the result of overselling
on the part of the "shorts." AS the time
approaches for them to fill their contracts
it is discovered that there is scarcity
either natural or artificial, of the article
sold "short," and in the eagerness of the
"shorts" to fill, an unhealthy and extraor-
binary demand arises, which naturally ad.
vances the price.
In nearly all instances these CORNERS
are the result of deliberate plan on the
part of the "longs"-those who have pur-
chased for delivery in the future. They

Grants Resemblance to Washington.

FIRsT-As Washington was the first full
General in the first great war, so Grant
was the first full General in the second.
Second-They alike fought through
two bloody wars, yet neither of them was
wounded. sru.F
Third-They alike, as Commanders-in-
Chief, received the final surrender of the
enemies of their country, and very near
the same place in Virginia, when the war
was over.
Fourtl--They alike said "let us have
peace" e.. ...........
Fifth-They were alike firm, brave, un-
ostentatious and incorruptible alike self
made and self reliant. ... .........
Sixth-They alike never made public
speeches.
Seventh-The people, and not the poll
ticians, nominated and elected Washing
ton the first President after the first war,
and the people, in like manner, have nom
| mated and will elect Grant, the first Pres
ident after the second war to reconstruct
and restore the Government.
Eighth-As Washington was, so Grant
has been providentially chosen and saved
through every danger to do the great
work assigned him, and as Washington
was so Grant now is "First in war, first
III peace and first in the hearts OF his
countrymen."
Will not the people remark these won

Raising Hogs.

MOST any farmer will say, "Go to grass
with your information about hogs; aint I
raised them these forty years?" Oh! well,
friend, don't be offended if we offer few
suggestions.
In the first place, I am satisfied that you
cannot make pork to any profit by allow
ing your hogs to run at large, and t.ouble
your neighbors. A hog is unique in char
acter he will sleep himself into fat. His
stye should be kept clean and dry. He
should have yard for recreation, and root
his snout into fresh earth. He never feels
satisfied until he can spend portion of
his time in ploughing His winter bed
should be dry and warm as that of his
owner. A halffrozen hog will not thrive,
and will require much more food to keep
up the summer heat. In summer give
him faithful washing once in twenty
days. The growth will richly repay the
labor expended. Who but Hottentots
could eat the rind of pork with relish if
he knew it had been coated with filth for
twenty months? Neat herds require fire.
quent feeding to prevent waste. A hog
should not be stinted in his food. I never
knew hog to squeal into fat.
The best pork l ever saw was fatted en-
tlrely on new milk. The taste of hog is
tOunu 10 nave an affinity TO that OF man.
He likes to have his provisions cooked !;
and those who make out the hog is so vile
and filthy, have seen them so from the
force OF circumstances-it was not from
their own choosing, it was the owners

DR.. V9lcker, in commenting on these
remarkable results, states that the COWS
in September were out in ga pasture,
poor and overstocked, so that the daily
growth of grass furnished hardly food
enough to meet the daily waste to which
the animal frame is subject, and was not
calculated to meet an extra demand for
materials for the formation of curd and
butter" In October, "on account of the
deficiency of the heritage, the cows were
in the evening driven into the stall and
there supplied with hay, roots and meal
The milk became better at once; for the
mornings milk then contained 1919 per-
cent, of solid matter, and in this nearly 4
per cent. of butter. THE doctor does
not mean exactly what he says. 1t was
not the solid matter that contains 4 per
cent, of butter, but the milk itself. The
solid matter contains over 81 per cent. of
butter. The concentrated food which the
COWS were fed at evening was clearly made
into good rich milk during the night"
In regard to whether it is best to allow
the COWS to run in the pasture during the
night, or to shut them up in the barn
yard, there is difference of opinion. But
we apprehend the present custom arose
from the greater convenience of having
the cows in the yard ready to milk In the
morning, instead Of having to 60 through
| the wet grass, or sometimes into the
woods, in search of them. We think
there can be but little doubt that they
! would do better in good pasture during
the night than in pen. A better plan,
however, is to feed them in the yard.
| This is standing argument for feeding
low-say all the straw and hay they will
eat, with few nubbins of corn, five or
six weeks before they come in. There can
be little doubt that, as a general rule, cows
are not fed high enough during the win
ter to afford the best results during sum-
mer. A cow kept in a comfortable and
well ventilated stable, with abundance of
nutritious food, will be healthier and bet
ter able to stand the strain on her consti-
tuition at calving, then if kept on low
diet; and there can be but little doubt
that, with COW of the right sort, all the
fat that is accumulated while she is dry
will find its way to the pail during the
summer in the form of butter. In the
dairy districts wintering cow is expen-
sive, even on the poorest description of
food, and it is short-sighted policy to stint
her, as we thus lose the whole benefit of
her existence during several months. 1t is
just as important TO feed her we'll while
she is dry as while she is giving milk. OF
course the matter may be overdone, espe-
cially with cows not adapted to high feed
ing, but as a general rule, there is very
little danger in this direction.-Ana. Ag,'i.

The Care Of Bees in Autumn.

A WRITER in an agricultural journal
says:
AS soon as bees have finished storing
surplus honey, it should be removed and
the colonies equalized and prepared for
winter as speedily as possible. Each
colony should be made strong in both
stores and numbers by the first OF
winter, and the earlier in the aut-
umn this is done the better it will
be for the owner. Experience will
teach beginners the truth Of this. Small
swarms are sometimes wintered success
fully, and / have done it myself, but in
the long run it does not pay.
First, then, make them strong IN num-
bers, if not already so. Small swarms
should be united so that each swarm will
have from four to six quarts of bees. To
unite them prefer to fumigate them with
puff ball smoke, then put them together
and let them revive in the hive in which
you wish to have them remain. l prefer
to remove all the queens except the one
which I think is the best. An Italian
queen may be introduced to such swarm
with perfect safety if all the other queens
have been removed. Quimby's Bee Keep
ing has full directions for fumigating bees.
If the united swarms stood near each
other, those moved will soon learn their
new location, but if they were several
rods distant, with other hives intervening
or near, part will return to their former
location and be lost. To remedy this, it
is best to carry them to new location at
least one and half miles distant and let
them remain three or four days.
Now see that all have feed enough to
last them until spring. 1t is more trouble
some and expensive feeding in winter or
early spring than in warm weather. Feed
only good northern honey or syrup made
Of good refined sugar. l have used brown
coffee crushed with satisfactory results
For a feeder fila fruit can, glass bottle, or
other convenient receptacle with feed !;
then tie thin piece of cotton cloth over
it and invert it over hole in the honey
board where the bees will have free access
to it. They will suck the feed through
the cloth. You can feed a little faster and
perhaps easier by using an upright tin or
wooden box with float in it. 1t should
be set in the top of the hive Each hive
should weigh at least thirty lbs in addition
to its empty weight.

For the benefit of those of our readers
who do not understand the technical
terms used, we will explain them. An
option is either "seller's" or "buyer's,"
and the difference in their value is regu-
lated by the length of the option, and the
state of the market at the time the trade

mentioned. The seller may deliver at any
time he pleases during the life of the con-
tract, on sellers option, provided he
