ADvERTIsINa.-Th is no instance on
record of a judiclous system of advertis-
ing failing of bringing complete success.
Don't take in your sign in dull times.
People read newspapers all times OF the
year.
During bad times they look in the
papers to see what sells the cheapest, and
in good times to see who has the incest
goods and the latest styles
Every paper printed in town helps
that town and its people tenfold. Every
paper that goes forth is representative
of the place, and when strangers pick up
copy to read, and see plenty of business
houses represented,they conclude at once
that it is an important, thriving place.
Why :? Because here is sheet that
represents the place, and it is full OF
names of business men.
Every citizen should have pride in
sustaining his local papers and at every
opportunity send them off to distant
friends.-Lod5 Journal.

tasted good, except grasshoppers. His
stomach had not been educated up tc
that point. He frequently ate raw fish

CHEAP Ice HOUSE, A correspondent
ofthe Rurat World gives the following
plan as cheap model for making a good
ice house, especially where drainage can
be had without much labor:
| For ordinary farm purposes, make an
excavation 10 by IA feet, ~ feet deep !;
then dig trench and lay tile or SOM
other material in the bottom to prevent
any water from standing, which wilt
melt ice very fast. Wall up all around
eight feet; then put on your center, anq
turn good arch over the entire leng b.
The arch ought to be of brick. nine inches
thick, and four feet elevation, or of stone
twelve inches thick Put the door in d
one end and perpendicular also trap
door, as in outdoor cellars; run fue at
each end to carry off the heat and gas
Cover the arch with earth to the depth
of three feet; and sod over and plant a
cump of trees, to prevent the'sun from
shining on the mound, and you have "a
house or cellar that will last an age, and
give good satisfaction. The perprndlc..-
lar door, 2 by AZ feet, is large enough
for convenience; cellar Of the abo7-
size can be built for $75, all mplete, -
this section of Illinois; and, if properly
filled, will supply the demand for any or
binary family.

CURING SowED CoRN.-It is labori-
GUS task to cut by baud several acres of
heavy sweet corn My neighbors find it
almost impossible to gather the shocks
into stacks, or NOW and prevent spolling.
Besides, standing in the shock in the
field through very much wet weather, as
we often have in the fall. greatly lessons
lis value My plan is TO prepare the
ground we'll, sow early, and roll after
sowing let 1t stand until it begins to
ripen. Here is the main point OF success.
When the lower leaves begin 10 turn
yellow, the saccharine matter begins to
turn to sugar, and then there is less
water to dry out, and the corn is of much
more value. The ground being rolled
smooth, you can cut with machine close
to the ground let it lay four or five days
in the sun, then rake with horse rake
and cock up, allowing it to remain in
cock two days, when it can be handled
with as much despatch as the same
amount of Timothy hay. With the aid OF
one man and boy we hauled off, last fall,
three acres in one day, put into small
stacks and NOW, and it kept as bright as
need be. We have practiced this plan
for several seasons, and have never lost
any.-RurGI Neao Yorker

A writer in a recent number OF the
Country Gentleman, speaking OF TIE
value of carrots as a feed tor mllch COWS,
is oe tie opinion that In certain cases, as
for instance for butter making In whit r,
there is no kind of root equal to the
Orange carrots, since by feeding no other
root can YOU make such good, sweet,
yellow butter. He says: Cows are
Also more healthy when well fed on
CARROTS tt has been asked in Agricul
tural Journals and Farmers Clubs II any
COW that was we'll fed on carrots was
ever known to get sick or fail to do well
when she comes in and cannot now re-
call single instance when either the one
or other was the case. This tendency OF
carrots to preserve and promote health
ond thrift also makes them an excellent
feed for calves the first winter With
good hay, very little grain and plenty
of carrots, calves will grow finely all
winter"
We agree with the writer that there is
no root superior to carrots as iced tor
milch COWS in winter, when nice yellow
we'll Favored butter is the object. Cows
in spring that are supplied with plenty
of early cut hay, we'll cured, and literally
fed with carrots and little grain, will
make butter equal in color and flavor to
that made when the cows are at grass
1t is well known that certain makers OF
fancy butter are careful to give their
cows no other roots but carrots; and
they should be grown at least to some ex-
tent on all dairy farms, as feed for
cows when in milk during winter and
spring.
1t is true carrots are the most expensive
root crop that is grown and we should
not advise that they be made the main
root crop but to limited extent, and
in connection with other roots, they are
certainly to be recommended, notwith
standing their comparatively high cost
They arc, no doubf, excellent for calves
Still, considering their cost, we should
quite as soon feed the sugar beet and
yellow globe mangel and with gooo
hay and a little grain there should be no
trouble about calves wintering well and
coming out in spring vigorous and thrift.

FROM GRASS TO WINTER FEED The
prudent sheep husbandman, as the biting
frosts of Autumn weaken his pastures,
will see to it that his flock are plentiful
ly, though gradually, supplied with roots
of corn, or whatever is to constitute their
winter food. No matter how strong the
pasture may appear, we would advise
that the additional feeding be not delay
ed beyond the first of November,-for
snow or cold rain storms are likely to
overtake us any day, rendering strong
and warming food necessary and if the
flock are not at least partially accustomed
to it, some animals will overeat, while
others may not get a suficiency. Any
one at all familiar with the handling of
sheep need not be told of the bad effects
that will result. We have known focks
30 injured by a November storm that
they could not be restored to their
proper thrift during the entire winter
following. A good judge of wool will
readily detect the heeces of such stock
as every sudden change in the condition
of the sheep produces j int In the
fibers, rendering 1t totally unfit for use in
manufacturing such styles of goods as
require strength and elasticity IN the
material composing them.
Three year old wethers, and such ewes
as are old, or from some other cause are
unfit for breeding, should be kept in a
flock to themselves and put upon full feed
as 1t can be safely done, for the possible
ty of having them ready, for winter
market, depends upon good thrift be-
