The latter is very essential for if the
muscles are not developed, and the
flesh hardened, that must be done af-
ter the blowing and planting season
comes on, at the expense of the general

for in advance they may utterly fall

| Cattle, too, must be looked after =
The stalk fields are becoming bare, and
straw stacks reduced, where the stock
have CLEANED, during the first winter
months, a fair living; but now the re-
serve of grain and hay must be brought
out in greater supply, and care taken
that none of the animals shall be neg
lected. Cows should have plenty of
feed, and be regularly MIXED to keep
up a satisfactory flow of good milk
Tins is critical period for COWS with
young calves. Ground feed or vege-
| tables, with plenty of pure water, are
| indispensable. Cold storms of rain and
sleet are not uncommon near the OPEN
ing of spring. At time when feed is
liable to become reduced in quantity
the sheds and other buildings must not
| be allowed to get OFT of repair, for the
| stock may be so much reduced IN flesh
that they cannot endure these severe
seasons without sacrifice.
| The pigs must not lie neglected in
the least at this season of the year
| The common method of feeding dry
corn causes the stomach and intestines
to become contracted, and thereby the
power OF digestion and assimilation
greatly weakened; the pores of the
skin may be closed; and the animals
50 rendered more susceptible to disease
than at other times. Foul pens and
sleeping apartments should be avoid
ed, and plenty of room for exercise
given. Breeding sows should be kept
III good hesh-not fat. Give them
course food, as oats, or rye, ground
and mixed with wheat bran, or vege-
tables.
The high price of wool should insure
good care of the sheep. If they are
allowed to run down in condition, the
fleece will not only cease to grow, but
will lose in weight before shearing time.
Oats make excellent feed for sheep ear
~ in the spring.
The greatest profit to the stot k-rais-
er is IN getting to the grass in good
condition.

New EIre.Proof COmp0sition.

An important trial OF proof COM
position has been made at the navy
yard by direction of the Secretary of
the Navy and the Secretary of the Urea
sury, under supervision of A. b. Null
lett, Supervising Architect of the
Treasury. Two trials were made, one
IN the reberveratory furnace and one in
the blast furnace. Both were eminently
successful The last resulted as fol-
lows An iron chest. 10 inches In
diameter, with a lining of inches of
the composition. also containing a
wooden box, inches in diameter, in
which were deposited papers, money
and matches, were placed in the blast
furnace, and different metals placed all
around it. After being subjected to al
almost continuous blast of three hours,
and after all the metals were melted,
the chest was left in the furnace until
the next afternoon, when, under direc-
ton of the representatives of the gov
eminent, the three chests were opened,
and the contents were found to be eX-
actly in the same condition as when
they were put IN, and the matches were
used to light cigars with. The fire
proof composition is the discovery OF
two gentlemen from Detroit, one OF
whom, Sigismund Rothschild, was
present at the trial.

Tunneiing the Straits of Dover.

The project of tunnel between Eng
land and France, underlying the Straits
Of Dover, has finally been entered upon
by joint stock company. 1t is stated
that the entire cost Will be from twenty
9te TO thirty-five million dollars, and
that the work may be completed ~ Eve
years. The distanco is twenty two
miles, TIE plan proposed contempiates
two parallel tunnels not connected,
the railway trains running but
one way in each. 1t is thought
that this Will secure through currents
of air sufficient for ventiiatioi,. AS no
yentilating shafts have been devised
the ventileiing of the tunnels must be
through the ends. The CONSUMPTION
of oxygen by the locomotives, besides
the smoke they produce, would create
a heavy demand, but atmospheric t,sc
ton will remove these objections to a
great extent. Fresh air may also be
propelled into tunnels by machinery.
Practical difficulties of this kind gener-
ally vanish when an enterprise is I'M
taken IN full earnest.
The prominent idea Of this oVement
is commercial English capitalists
dream of defeating the mass of Ameri-
can commerce with Europe through
this tunnel. A similar tunnel is pro
posed underlying the narrowest part Of
the channel between England and Ire
land. Steamers from Galway to Hail
fax would then contribute the only
water carriage between San Francisco
and Constantinople Amid the won
ders of our age, such gigantic combi-
nations are becoming almost common

An Auction Joke
Bulletin

The Boston Commercial Bulletin
says
Apropos to the present fever of land
speculation, comes story In which a
well-known auctioneer of this city was
the principal actor.
Mr.. Going was waited upon one day
by brisk individual who wished HIM
to dispose of large lot of land in
South Boston. Going accepted the
commission, had the plan conspicuous
ly displayed in his Office, Z" An Import
ant Sale Of Valuable Land duly adj
vertised, and on the morning OF the
sale the fiagman was sent out to display
the red banner of the knights of the
hammer on the property. Gong started
towards noon, i'll his chase, for the
scene of action, in what be deemed
good season, and after long
drive and many inquiries, arrived at his
destination nearly half an hour late.
Flushed, and little suspicious, the
auctioneer Jumped from bis vehicle at
the waters edge, where stood an ex
pectant group whose smiling faces car
ried an assurance TO Going that sell
If not a sale was expected. Not OBJ
serving his flag or stakes or anything
that indicated ga valuable lot of land, y
he hastily summoned his standard
bearer, and that devoted follower
pointed out to him the red flag planted
at low tide, and now well out to sea,
just tiuttering above the water like the
wing of famigo
Going took in the situation at once
and jumping upon an empty fish barrel
he went through the form Of ';terns Of

to the company s4o cast their bread
upon the water" he concluded with
'Now gentlemen, how much am I offer

John Burns of Gettysburg.

From Washington we learn that the Hon. Edward
Mcpherson, Clerk of the House OF Representatives,
and resident of Gettysburg, bias received informa-
ton that John Burns, hero OF Gettysburg, died in
his own town, Feb. 7, of pneumonia. John Burns
an humble citizen, whose name has been placed
among those made famous for deeds Of heroisIn
wrought during the American civil war. What he
did is best described in these extracts fl ON poem,
by Bret Harte:
Have you heard the story that gossips tell
Of Burns OF Gettysburg ?-No? All we'll:
Brief is the glory that hero earns,
Briefer the story of poor John Burns:
He was the fellow who won renown,-
The only man who didn't back down
When the rebels rode through his native town:
But held his own in the fight next day.
When all his townsfolk away.
That in July, slxty-tbree,
The very day that General Lee,
Flower of Southern chivalry,
Baffied and beaten, backward reeled
From stubborn Meade and barren field.
Just where the tide of battle turns,
Erect and lonely stood old John Burns.
How do you think the man was dressed?
He wore ancient long buff vest,
Yellow safron-but his best;
And outtoned over his manly breast
Was bright blue coat, with rolling collar,
And large gilt buttons-siZe of a dollar
With tails that the country folks call :. swaler"
He broad-brimned. belI-crowned hat,
White the locks which it sat.
Never he'd such sight been seen
For forty years on the village green,
Since old john Burns country beau,
And went TO the ' quiltings long ago.
Close at his elbows all that day,
Veterans of the Peninsula,
Sunsurnt ana bearded, charged away;
And striplngs, downy of lip and chin
Clerks that the Home Guard mustered in
Glanced, as they passed, at the hat he wore,
Then at the rife his right hand bore;
and hailed him, from out their youthful glee,
With scraps of slangy repertoire:
" How are you, White Hat ~ Put her through ~
"Your heads level" and " Bully for you y
Called him Daddy, begged he'd disclose
The name of the tailor who made his clothes,
And what the value he set on those;
While Burns, unmindful of ieer and scof,
Stood there picking the rebels off
With his long brown rifle, and be-crown hat
And the swallow-tails they were laughing at.
Twas but moment, for that respect
Which clothes all courage their voices checked
And something the widest could understand
Spake i'll the old mans strong right hand,
And his corded throat, and the lurking frnwn
OF his eyebrows under his old beLcrown
Until, as they gazed, there crept an awe
Through the ranks III whispers, and some men saw
In the antique yestments and long white hair
The Past of the Nation in battle there;
And some of the soldiers since declare
That the CLEAN of his old white hat afar,
Like the crested plume of the brave Navarro
That day was the orihamme of war.
30 ragged the battle. You know the -est:
How the rebels, beaten and backward pressed,
Broke at the final charge and ran.
At which John Burns-a practical man
Shouldered his rifle, unbent hls brows,
And then went back 80 his bees and cows.

SeasopabIe Hints About stock.
From the Western Rural.

The near approach of spring suggests
many questions of Importance in re.
gard to the care of stock, to get them
into the summer in a condition that
any of the years growth viii not be
lost. 1t is not good plan to keep
work horses extremely fat by that use
of too much grain, when there is but
little work for them to do; but it is
important that, as spring approaches,
they should be provided with a good
coat of solid flesh, by being fed on an
abundance of good solid grain and hay,
accompanied with plenty of exercise.
