DENTISTRY.

take great pleasure in announcing to the citi-
zsns Of Middlebury, and vicinity, that | am in
possession of newly invented and patented mater
ial for Dental plates, bases for artificial teeth
This base consists of a new and peculiar compo.
sition Of solid colodion, which possesses all the
advantages that have ever been hoped from COLO
dion or pyroxoline, while il is entirely free from
the difficulties heretofore experienced in manipu-
lating that substance, well from liability to
shrink and change form after being made into ar
ti6cial plates.
l would be pleased to have you call at my Office
and examine 1t before going elsewhere.
Particular attention paid to the preservation Of
natural teeth.
Hoping to receive a share of your patronage,
am Very Respectfully Yours

How to Fasten Cows.

A correspondent at Golden's Bridge, n.
Y, asks what he can use in the place of
stanchons in his cow-stalls. He is thor
oughly dissatisfied with these.
He suggests what we consider to be the
best form of fastening, that is, an upright
pole, three inches in diameter, at the left
side of the cows neck.
We have recently examined cow stable
fitted up in this manner which seeemd to
us as nearly complete as any we know.
The distance from the front of the stall to
the gutter is six feet two inches. Two
feet of the front is taken off for the man
ger, the side of which next to the passage
way is boarded up to prevent cut feed and
meal from being thrown out and wasted.
The side of the manger nearest the cattle
is bordered by two-inch plank six inches
high The fastening-poles stand immedi-
atcly against these planks, and they are
securely fastened, top and bottom. The
four feet two inches left between the fast
ening-poles and the gutter is ample stand
ing room for average size cows, In one
part of the barn little more room is Civ
en-, and the cattle here are much soiled,
the manure dropping ON the planks on
which they lie. 1t is usual to clasp the
cows neck with short chain, of which a
large link plays up and down the pole.
There have been accidents resulting from
the binding of the rings on the poles. In
the case which we are describing there is
a simple leather strap around the cows
neck which is buckled loose enough to in
clude the pole. 1t looked awkward, but
was said TO be SATISFACTORILY. y. Post.

An Engineer of Resources.

The Bethlehem (Pa) Times says that
the Oldest locomotive engineer in the
United States is Barney Butz, who now
runs an engine on the Lebanon branch of
the Reading Railroad. Barney was born
in Conyngham, Luzerne County, Penn,
and went on the Beaver Meadow Railroad
about the year 1885 or 1886. In 1887 he
was running an engine from Parryville to
Weatherly, the planes being then in opera
tion. The cars were drawn up the planes
by stationary engine, and were then
drawn into the Beaver Meadow mines by
a locomotive engine, A good story is told
of Barney's readiness in case of an emer-
gency, One day his engine would not
make steam well, and he was likely to be
Overtaken by u passenger train before he
could reach the turnout, Seeing good
sized porker beside the track, he jumped
from his engine--the train was moving
very slow-seized the pig cut his throat,
and stuffed him into the furnace. The fat
of the pig was better than kindling.wood,
and in a very short time Barney had steam
up and was out of danger.

Fall Treatment Of Clay Lands.

A clay soil under a proper mode of
treatment is our most productive soil.
What is called an agricultural clay, that's,
clay with twenty-five per cent. of sand in
intimate mixture with it, is the best and
most lasting soil for grain, and especially
grass. But while light loan is com
paratively safe from injury, clay soil
can be measurably ruined by improper
treatment. And the greatest danger is to
be afprehended from plowing when too
wet. The working of clay in a moist
condition will bring it into state of
tenacious consistency that frost cannot
overcome, and many years of tillage will
be required to reduce. In the meantime
its value is lessened and fertility impaired.
Draining such soils is necessary for their
proper cultivation inasmuch as il often
becomes either necessary or desirable to
work them before they can naturally get
rid of an extensive amount of moisture.
Farmers can not he too watchful of clay
lands at this season of the year, lest one
unreasonable plowing should cause a
serious injury. Here is seen the advan-
tage of draining. While one farmer Is
enabled to keep his men and teams at
work and seize a favorable opportunity
for forwarding his operations, his neigh
Dor, having an undrained farm, is com
PEELED to lie idle and loses both time and
money. The capital invested in drains
returns interest in other ways than by in
creased crops Hearth and Home.

Arrest Decay.

winter wien nature seems to be giving way
under the pressure of years, II is still posi-
bic to retard the progress of decay, and TO
lend to age moro than its wonted vigOr. AS

most potent Of all restoratives. 1t will not
make the old young, but 1t will prevent, les

How They Build Houses in England.

A BIRMINGHAM (England) correspond
ent of the Boston Journal, apropos of
the Chicago fire, says;
Zone familiar with the fearful confla-
grations which often occur in America, Is
impressed with the exemption from firesin
England During Il residence of two
years in a town of nearly four hundred
thousand inhabitants, have never wit
messed the burning of building, and
have seen but very few notices of such
misfortunes in the papers. They are al
most always confined to single building
where the fires occur, so that the term
burned out is substituted for the Ameri-
can expression burned up Here the
walls are usually but slightly injured, and
repairs are easily made. The reason for
the difference in relation to these calami-
ties is found in the style of building. En-
glish houses are almost exclusively built
of stone or brick, both in the city and in
the country, The plaster is placed upon
the walls without lathes, and the parti-
tons are of brick. A large proportion
of the floors are of tile, and the roofs are
generally covered with similar material,
instead of the felt and tar so often used
in America. Shingles are wholly un-
known, and the people do not know the
meaning of the word. Many of the
churches and public buildings are entirely
of stone, with the exception of the limited
amount of wood required for furnishing,
and there is but little combustible mate
rial in the structures of the country Pass
ing through some of the narrow, crooked
streets of the old town, and noticing the
ancient and often dilapidated homes OF
the poor, one cannot but think how great

proved if a sweeping fire could but cleal
away the buildings which have stood fol
centuries. But the boon of exception i

to the farmers generally to select their
seed while slowing it for winter My
method is this; When am unloading my
corn from the wagon to the crib (or corn

with shovel, which allows me to throw
sound and perfect ears in the crib, my
small ears and unsound ones in one basket
and all large, sound and perfectly filled
ears in another basket for seed. i store
