Management of Cows.

Whether the breed be chosen with ref
ercnce TO object Of dairy or not, the man
agement is not always the best. Not
much attention has yet been paid TO the
proper care of pastures, TO the raising OF
forage crops and other points. Bnt few
pastures will yield food enough for the
whole season. Plenty of good water
should always be supplied. Many de-
tails usually thought small, are really of
great Importance. As fall comes on,
cows need more attention; it viii be
found easier to keep them in condition
than to regain their lost flesh in the
spring there is little fear of their getting
too fat. Much Of the good results Of the
following season depends on how cattle
are kept during the winter. If milk is
expected in quantity in December, the
cows should be carefully fed; but wheth-
er the increased care andlexpensc will
be profitable, is yet TO be determined.
Most farmers in our section feed but twice
day, while cows are not giving milk, to
save time.
As milk-time comes on again, the quail
ity of food should be improved; if they
have not extra food and care, decrease Of
milk viii surely follow. There has been
lately some improvement in managing
cows, slow but sure; and when an i'm
provement proves Itself really such,it will
be adopted.

The ocean stretched away in silent

10 avoid Bcing Cheated.

II is said that three million dollars
annually are taken from the pockets OF
country people by the various swindling
establishments in New York city, who
spread their aIluring advertisements all
over the country and get small sums BY
mail. The Aac,icaa dgriculturid has,
with commendable enterprise, ferreted
out and exposed many OF those swindling
tricks; but shorter and simpler way Is
this-Ncyer trust your money, not even
a postage stamp, TO any person whose
reputation you know nothing about. The
bigger promises, the more likely YOU
will be caught. Avoid all advertiser
who offer You remedies for nothing
there will be some gouging behind
men do not pay for costly advertisements
Tor the sake OF gratuitous labor. Avoid
all gift establishments they will get
twice or ten times as much out Of YOU, in
some way as they give you. Avoid all
persons who sell watches, or ewelry or
anything else, greatly below market price
they will surely cheat you in some way.
Honest men find better way to bcstow
charity.

discovering mines In all directions ;
digging and exploring IN their feverish
thirst for gold. They will overwhelm
us, think the Mormons, IN q short time;
will have a majority Of the popula-

and tabernacle; will carry of our
wives, and play the deuce generally.
In this dilemma they bethink them
selves Of a novel method of saving the

DOMESTIC inrELLloEAcE

PrrTsroN, Pa, August 15.-It Is
difficult now to estimate the full dam
age by the explosion. 1t l. not be-
lieved any more men WILDE recovered
alive. .-u--
On entering the chamber In which
the explosion occurred a fallen rock
was found which laid partly on a car,
completely blocking up one side and
leaving a space over 1t just sufficient
for q man TO worm himself through.
Some distance further In there was
another fall which completely filled
the passage, and behind this the men
are walled so completely that It will
take hours Of labor to reach them.
The outside scene Is ~heartrending.
Women and children are weeping
and mourning aloud for the loved and
lost and waiting anxiously In hope
less expectation Of each new report.
Volunteers are now at work endeay-
oring to get around this fallen rock so
they can reach the miners, but
the density of the black damp prevents
them from prosecuting the work with
full effect. They are continually being
brought up In an exhausted condition,
but their places are at once supplied
by other volunteers. e.
Twenty persons are known to have
been In the mine, but so far only five
dead bodies are found.

CoNpURASao, the new remedy for

Is q d~ecoction Of the wood of the Con-
durango tree, which IS brought to this
country In small bundles. Careful
analysis, It Is stated, shows no unusual
properties In the wood, and the fluid,
when prepared for use, Is perfectly
harmless. The bark contains an inso-
luble gum, but no recognized medici-
nal principle. The wood and the bark
have been subjected to minute examin-
alton BY the medical authorities In

nounced them utterly worthless. Pa
tients afflicted with ANGER have also

dition, It Il said, shows that no benefit
Is derived from this alleged remedy.

aN~ori,...

From the Nov, Orleans Timss, July 1istl 4
Few people will experience aston
ishment ut |. the gates Of hell" being
discovered In California. According
to the report they do not conform to
the ancient and accepted description
OF that inviting spot. Dante's famous
inscription Is wanting on the portals,
which, in fact, are not portals at all.
It Is a rugged, rocky chasm, surround
cd by a desolate country, cleft with
deep valleys and precipitous cliffs.
Snakes, reptiles and yermin abound In
untold numbers, while the air Is heavy
with sulphurous odors and noxious
gases. The ground shakes and groans,
grinding the rocks and stones together
like the crashing of damned ones
teeth. M1ffied explosions and CHASTITY
flashes Of electric light pierce the inky
pail which hoyers over 1t, and at night
the saturnalia of horrible sounds and
sights intensifies and deepens. Even
the Indians cannot be induced to ap-
proach 1t, although to those OF the
keweah tribe are we indebted for Its
discovery. Judging from the state OF
society In the mining regions, 1t never
required q great stretch of the imagi-
nation to believe the realms of Saith
anus somewhere In that neighborhood,
but we were not quite prepared to
have the fact so soon determined. II
It prove true, Satan Is to be greatly
pitfed, since 1t will not be long before
hlibustsring expeditions of adyentur-
Gus miners will root him out and take
possession. No doubt the people OF
California, with their vast resources,
energies and wonderful mechanical
appliances, imagine themselves more
than a match for Old Nick, and II they
take q fancy to his territory, the snakes
and natural phenomena with which lie
has sought to guard the entrance to his
dominions will prove but a poor de.
fense against American enterprise.
All that sort Of thing California miners
would unhesitatingly pronounce as
"played out" long ago. We trust
the savans Of that region will make a
close examination thereof and report
upon 1t fully. 3.

"The season Is now so far advanced

Angeles county from the gras'hopper
scoHrge, and slightly by frost in Napa,

counties; but only In Isolated places,
and nowhere to any considerable ex-
tent. As a general thing, so we infer
