GOVERNMENTS STEADY.

The original announcement of the advance in the
London price of fve-twenties started considerable
activity at the first session OF the government
board and prices improved 4 per cent Later
in the day the lower price Of gold and the activity
in money induced sales. under which the improve
ment was lost, but the market closed steady II not
strong. Some discussion was created by the report
that the British government intended imposing tax
stamp on securities in the English markets. but
the apprehension OF such movement was allayed
by the cable report OF an advance In their price,
which would hardly be the course they would take
did the English investors believe the tax would be
laid. On the contrary, 1t is surmsed that the
Rothscnilds and other capitalists who reported
to be buying our bonds In the London market
started the report purposey, with view to assist
ing them in buying without advancing the market
upon themselves The following were the final

STOCKS HEAVY AND LOWER.
The stock market was depressed by the cnques
who desirous of buying. 1t will be remembered
that they sold out last Friday the strong market
then prevailing, and went Short but the street is
so well aware OF their designs that the market was
obstinate In Its refusal to be forced down. Hence
the necessity OF rendering money stringent. The
success OF the latter movement produced its effect
In a heavy and lower market to-day. But, while
lower the market could not be called weak,
for 1t required persistent hammering to pro-
duce decline of about one-half per cent,
A great effort was made to involve
the general list with Hannibal and St Joseph
which underwent heavy decline for both classes OF
stock. The common opened at Ss and fell to II;
the preferred opened at o5 and sold down to ssk
A reaction carried the common back to 81 and the
preferred to 9SA, but both again went on at the
close Of street business. Much surprise was mani
tested at these fluctuations, Hannibal and St. Jo-
seph having been q favorite few months since at
100 n l25.

In connection with winter keeping, let me
describe the winter quarters of ten COWS
The ground slopes gently to the southeast.
and is about eighty feet square. On the
rear, toward the northwest, is a playhouse,
eighty by eighteen feet, the space under
which is occupied by cow.house under the
west end and overshoot under the east, each
forty feet long. The cows are arranged on
plank floor, with gutter and four foot walk
behind, and hay manger and passage ia front
of them. The yard is about sixty.two by
eighty feet, is sheltered on the northeast and
southwest sides by a board fence four feet
high and twenty feet in diameter, into which
all the manure Of both stalls and yard i.
thrown as fast al delivered, so that the yard
Is kept perfectly clean. Over this yard is
kept spread marsh or salt hay about six inches
in depth, so inviting that the COWS can lie
down in any part Of it. While in the yard
they are sheltered from all the cold winds.
and from the south east comes the morning
sun as soon as risen. The overshoot furnishes
shelter from the rain, and at its western end
between the passage doors, is the water.
trough, always full. There is a window on
the southwest side Of the west corner, to LIGHT
their heads and the passage in front Of them
and two windows in their rear. The hangers
are level with the floor and large enough to
hold easily Eve pounds Of hay. Each has a
lump OF rock salt, and the meal is fed on the
bottom. During all fair weather they are in
the yard, except at meals. Thus are they
bright comfortable and thrifty.--Cmntry

The following is an extract from the report
OF the poultry committee Of the Bristol Mass

barrels Of bone intending to use it for Irish
potatoes aud other garden crops. My wife
appropriated some Of it for her roses in the

surface Of the ground around the the bushes.
The fowls have free access TO the garden, and
were discovered eating meal very eagerly.
Thinking it might be Of service to them, we
gave them some for several weeks. and as.
sure you it was but short time before the
eggs began to come in such numbers as we
had never known before. II nest was brok =
en- up to prevent hen from sitting, it was
but u few days before she was laying again.
and thus it has continued to the present time.
One hen has taken possession Of barrel
that has some bone meal in it, and is laying
in the meal. Whether she will lay the bar.
rel full or not, time will show. My wife
thinks that care and bone meal are great in.
stitutlons for her poultry yard, and very ex.
traordlnary in their effect, but as the hen has
an unusual amount Of cacklng to do, fears il
may bring on bronchitis. The manurinr of
hens to make them lay we think is original,
but we have no idea Of taking out patent
for it, aud hence leave the discovery open 10
