Care of Pastnre.

The'greatest damage is often done
to the pastures when the farmer is
least suspecting it; especially
young clover, by its being denuded
from the close clippings Of stock
during the late fall months. 1t is
but exceptional that pastures come
out in the spring in good condition
when thus shorn of the aftermath.
If this winter protection is left on
the ground the spring finds the soil
mellow, moist and the young blades
ready to come forth on the first in
timation of warm weather. Mead,
ows, too, are often injured in this
thoughtless manner, and the future
crop reduced one half thereby. To
say the least, this is not judicious
farming.
After the supplies of feed have
been exhausted from a long winter,
the spring often becomes the most
critical time with the farmer, to fill
up the interval between dry feed and
grass. But if he has taken the pre-
caution to preserve this winter pro-
lection, he will not only be able to
give his stock an earlier start in the
spring, but will obviate the risk OF
losing the growth already secured
during winter.
These seem small matters; but
they are of the first Importance on
a well regulated farm.

Panic in a Church.

At nine and a half O'Clock at
night, Nov. Is, the giving away OF
a column in the lower room of the
African Baptist Church corner of
Fifth and York streets, Louisville Ky.
created a panic among the congrega-
tion in the upper room, ,and the whole
body rushed, jammed and crushed
down two narrow stairways on each
side of the doors, men trampling
upon women and children in their
fright. Eleven were killed out right,
two of themschildren, and a number
more or less wounded. One had a
leg broken. The killed are all wo-
men. The scene was terrible and
heart rending, mothers screaming
over their dead children, and hus
bands in agony over wives. The
column or pillar which gave way
proved to have been set on the low
er floor between the joists, with moth
ing under it but a thin inch flooring.
The coroner held an inquest the
next dag, to Investigate the whole
matter.

Orchard and Nursery

PLANTING.-Continue the opera
tions of planting as long as the
ground remains unfrozen, and pre-
pare for spring planting by plowing
and manuring.
HEELING IN.-When nursery stock
is7received too late for planting this
fall, heel in, taking care to.select a
light soil where water will not stand
during the winter Care must be
used in filling the soil around the
roots SO as to leave no space for air.
Trees thus treated will pass the win
ter in perfect safety. and be handy
for early planting in the spring.
APPLEs.-These will all be har-
vested by this time, and if stored in
bins just as they were picked, they
ought to be sorted, put in barrels,
and stored in a cool place where
there is no danger from frost. Cider
is best when made after cold wealth
er has commenced, as fermentation
is not so active then as during the
warm weather of last month.
.CELLARs.-See that there are con-
veniences for ventilating cellars
where fruit and vegetables are stored.
The best way is to open ventilator
into the chimney fue. Do not close
the cellar entirely until there is
danger of freezing.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1871-11-16
Cut Feed

For years there has been a no.
ton prevalent in the agricultural
community, that cut feed is econom-
ical, healthful, and therefore desipa-
BILE. We apprehend that there is a
grave mistake in this matter. Ma.
ture has provided for her children,
The COW, the sheep, and the goat
are provided with stomachs, which
enable them to thoroughly chew
their food. The horse is differently
constituted, and when hungry, is
liable and likely to bolt his food like
his master. This being SO, the. hay,
and straw, and other food of like
nature, are not digested properly,
the animal becomes, dnll and heavy
in appearance, sluggish IN aetfon,
and united for efficient and heavy
work. He gorges himself till his
stomach becomes distended, and
then, If driven rapidly broken
wind ensues. Feed him with uncut
hay, and he will be more lively, and
do more work. Oats mixed with
hay, cut about two inches in length,
would cause the horse to take more
time in eating them. No race horse
was ever fitted for the course by Civ
ing him cut feed. Horse fanciers
never permit their animals to over
feed; nor get dumpish and feverish
from lack of exercise.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1871-11-16
Respect the Aged.

Many an old person has the pain
not bodily, but sharper still-of
feeling himself in the way. Some
one wants his place.-His very
chair in the chimney corner is
grudged him. He is . burden to
son or daughter. The very arm that
props him is taken away from some
productive labor.-As he sits at the
table, his own guests are too idle or
too unkind to make him a sharer in
their mirth. They grudge the trou-
BILE of that raised voice which alone
could make him one of them; when
he speaks its only to be put asidea as
ignorant or despised as old-fashiop-
ed and obsolute. Oh, little do young
er person: know their power of Civ
ing pain or rpleasure! 1t is a pain
for any man, still in the world, to
be made to feel that he is no longer
of it, to be driven in upon his own
little world of conscious isolation
and buried enjoyment. But this is
his condition! and if any fretfulness
or quarelousness of temper has ag-
gravated tiff others love him not
because he is not .amiable-shall we
pity that condition the less? shall
we upbraid it with that fault which
is itself the worst part of it?

Farm and Household.
Hints About Work.

LIVE STocK.-We would urge our
readers to keep ever before their
minds the idea that an animal is, so
to speak, machine that, from the
day of its birth to the hour OF its
death. is constantly in motion. 1t
never stops; whether asleep or
awake, in summer or winter, night
and day, it is ever running. And
the power required to keep it in mo-
ton is derived from the food, or
from flesh and fat previously stored
up in the animal. In the aggregate,
farmers lose millions of dollars ev
cry year from not understanding
and acting upon this simple truth.
There are thousands of calves, COWS,
and steers that on the first Of next
April will weigh no more than they
do now on the first of November.
All the food they consume during
the winter is used merely to keep up
the animal heat and sustain life.
Aside from the total loss of food,
an animal so kept. especially a
young animal, is not in healthy
condition, and it will take several
months of good feed in the spring
to give it a good start. An animal
that will not pay for liberal feeding
had better be sold for whatever it
will bring.
The low price of Stock affords a
favorable opportunity for purchase
ing good animals. Weed out the
herds. The present depression will
onlp be temporary, and you can now
pick up good, thrifty animals at
cheap rates. 1t certainly will not
pay this year to winter poor pig,
cow, sheep,,or steer.
SHEEP.-The same remarks are
generally true in regard to sheep,
but, at the present time, not with
equal force. There is an increased
and increasing demand for sheep
and wool, and it may pay better to
winter poor flack of sheep than to
dispose of them. Better, however.
sell the poor ones, and buy young
er, healthier, and more thrifty
sheep.
LOOK OUT FOR sToRMs.-Have the
barns and sheds in readiness,and be
careful not to let the sheep be ex-
posed to severe rain. Nothing is
more injurious.

Fireside Department.
True Dignity.

Lofty ends give dignity to the
lowest offices. 1t is, for instance, AN
honest, but you would not cali it an
honorable occupation, to pull an oar;
yet if that oar dips in a yeasty sea,
to impel the life-boat over the noun
tain waves and through the roaring
breakers, he who has stripped for
the venture, and, breaking away
nom weeping wife and praying
mother and clinging children, has
bravely thrown himself into the
boat to pull to yonder wreck, and
pluck his drowning brothers from
the jaws of death, presents. as from
time to time we catch glimpse OF
him on the crest of the foaming
billow, a spectacle ofgrandeur which
would Withdraw our eyes from the
presence of a queen surrounded
with all the blaze and gittering
pomp of royalty.
Take another illustration, drawn
from yet humber life. Some years
ago, on Winter morning, two chill
dren were found frozen to death.
They wore sisters. The elder child
had the younger seated in her lap,
closely folded within her ifeless
arms. She had stripped her own
thinly-clad form to protect its feeble
life, and to warm the icy fingers,
had tenderly placed its little hands
in her own bosom; and plying men
and weeping women did stand and
gaze on the two dead creatures, as,
with glossy eyes and stiffened forms,
they reclined upon the snow wreath
the days of their wandering and
mourning ended, and heavens own
pure snow no purer than that sisters
love. They were orphans; house
less, homeless beggars. But not on
that account, had 1 been there to
gaze on that touching group, would
l have shed one tear the less or felt
the less deeply that it was display
of true loYe and of human nature
in its least fallen aspect, which de-
served to be embalmed in poetry,
and sculptered in marble
Yes, and however humble the
Christians walk, or mean his occu-
patton, it matters not. He who lives
for the glory of God, has an end in
view which lends. dignity to the man
and to his life. -. Live, then, look
ing unto jesus live for nothing
less and nothing lower than Gods
glory; and these ends will lend
grandeur to your life, and shed a
holy, heavenly lustre on your station
however humble it may be.-Dr.
Guthrie.

A Thought For Boys.

A great many boys complain that
there are no places. Perhaps it is
hard to get such as you like. But
when you get a place-and there
are places-this big country, we are
sure, has need of every good boy
and girl, and man and woman in it
when you get place, we say,make
yourself so necessary, by your
good behavior, that they cannot, do
without you. Be willing to take a
low price at first, no matter what the
work is if it be honest work. Do
it well; do it the very best you can.
Begin at the very lowest round OF
ladder, and climb up. The great
want anywhere is faithful, capable
workers. They are never drug in
the market. Make yourself one of
those, and there will always be a
place for you, and a good one, too.

Preserving Eggs in Winter

A piece of lime, as large as &
art-dipper, is put into five gallons
of water, and salt added until an
egg will float. This is strained and
put into a clean keg, into which a
loose head is made to. fit easily: a
knob is fitted to the head for a han
die. The eggs are put, as they are
gathered, into the. liquid, and the
loose head placed on, them to keep
them below the surface. The keg
should be kept in a cool place in the
cellar. The liquor will not freeze
except at a lower temperature than
freezing point. Eggs thus preserved
VIII sell readily as ''limed eggs" un-
I'll lresh eggs come, and are almost
as good as fresh ones.
