SAVING THE FAT AND FLEsH.- The fat
and flesh of all kinds of domestic AMI
mails are made of grass and grain, which
costs monsy. In autumn when feed be-
gins to fail, the weather becomes colo
and stormy, ANIMALS will lose flesh, un
less they are vel fed and properly pro
tected from cold and wet storms. Ever.
pound of flesh and fat is worth, at a 10
igure, twelve and half cents. Flesl
or fat is actually worth much more than
that sum, in most localities, as there is
no bone, no hair. NO hoofs, no horns
nor other waste in those parts of ami.
mails. The fat IS always wasted first.
The flesh next. Now then, every pound
of flesh and fat that is wasted is dead
loss Of twenty. five cents to the owner of
the stock. When An animal consumes
a pound of fat in maintaining respira-
ton and animal heat, the waste is dead
loss, because it can never be retrieved.
The substance that composed that fat
and flesh is gone. The grass and grain
consumed in making it might just as
well, in one sense, have been pitched
into the Atlantic Ocean. In another
sense it would have been better to cast
the grass and grain on the land as rem
ovator of the soil. Now to reproduce
the number Of pounds of fat and flesh
lost will cost not less than another twelve
and ha,f cents worth Of grain. There
you have twenty. five cents in cash for
every pound of flesh produced.
Every person who has half an eye
cannot fail to see and appreciate the
fact. 1t needs no further elucidation.
The person therefore, who has ten hesd
of cattle and allows each one to fall
away ten pounds each, roses ten hun
dred quarter of dollars, or $3.50 A
hundred pounds of fat and flesh would
20 freely be missed in the appearance of
,imals. Aud the same rule holds
~, !, orses, sheep or swine, and
- nestle animals. Every

Nor ALL LosT.-A bankrupt merchant,
returning home one night said to his no.
BILE wife:
Ny dear, ] am ruined; everything
we have is in the hands of the Sheriff.
After few moments OF silence the
wife looked into his face and said:
Will the Sheriff sell you p
"Oh no."
s. Will the Sheriff sell me 2"
"Oh. no."
"Will the Sheriff sell the children %
"Oh No."
"Then do not say We have lost sv-
erything. All that is most valuable re-
mains to us-manhood, womanheod,
childhood. We have lost but the re-
suits of our skill and industry. We
can make another fortune if our hands
and hearts are left u.s."

T We learn that on the 4th instant
a sad accident occurred on the race track
at La Grande. A young man named
Doris was training horse, which flew

his brains were knocked out, causing
his death instantly.
T A short time ago, the milkmen of
London were very indignant because
the physicians had accused them of
bringing typhoid fever in the city by
adulterating milk with impure water;
nevertheless the fact was very clearly
proved. Since this exposure the vend-
ers of lacteal fluid have been rather
honest in their dealings with the pub
lie; and, making a virtue of necessity.
have held mass meeting and unani-
mously decided to advance the price
of milk to sd per quart.

- farn>i ing demands ener-
eetic work. We cannot WV ".e
the old beaten track. We :,
our wits about us: all our ia" t"lllties !,
be bright and active. We must "oi-
hard; but our work need not be for ah.s
great length Of time of the back break
ing, muscle -straining order. This kind
of work should be left to those who can
not do anything better. Afarmer should
study himselft. He should know his
own strength. He can only do certain
amount of work. He should be very
careful not to waste his power. The
coming farmer will require more sleep
and better food than some of the school
philosophers recommended. He will
eat more meat, and use more coffee and
less tobacco and whiskey. Energy is
what a farmer needs. He must put
more force, spirit and pluck into his
work. He must be wide awake, and
wake up those who work for him. -7

n Says the Rochester Denocrat:"A
gentleman who has been unfortunate Of
late was met in lonely place by ruff
ian the other evening. and told to stand

that had anything to deliver was e1-

SAKE himself, aztistically considered,

MARX Tw41N's TRIBUTE TO WOMEN
At sn annual banquet of tie Washing
ton Correspondents Club, the following
toast was read:
"Women: The pride of the profes-
sions and the jewel of our hearts.
To which Mark Twain responded as
| follows:
Human intelligence cannot estimate
what we owe to woman, sir, She sews
ON buttons, she ropes us in at the
church fairs, she confdes in US, tells
whatever she can find out about the
little private affairs of her .neighbors.
she gives us piece of her mind and
sometimes all of it. In all relations of
life, sir, it is just and grateful tribute
to say of her she is brick.
Whatever place she occupies, she
i, a treasure to the world. Look at
Desdemona Look at Lucretia Borgia!
Look at mother Eve! I repeat. sir;
Look at the illustrious names of history
Look at Elizabeth Cady Stanton Look
at George Francis Train And, sir, l
saw with bowed head and deepest ven
e1ation. look at the mother of Washing
ton She raised boy that couldn t
lie: but he never, had chance. 1t
4 mioht have been different if he had be-
l,nged to Newspaper Correspondents
Clu b." ~
Mark looked aroun1 placidly upon
his excited audience, and ,,esumed:
"Ircpeat, sir, that in whate, ,er po-
sit,on you put the woman. she is an .'r-
nament to society. and treasure to the
world. As sweet-heart she has few
equals, and no superior. AS wealthy
grandmother with an incurable distem-
per she is gorgeous. What, sir, would
the people of earth be without women?
They would be scarce, SIR mighty
scarce Then let US give her support,
eur sympathy-ourselves if we get a
chance. But throwing jesting aside,
Mr.. President, woman is lovable, gra-
cious, kind of heart, beautiful, worthy
of respect, of all esteem, of all defer
ence. No one here will refuse to drink
her health right cordially. for each and
every one of US has personally known,
loved and honored the best of them all
his own mother" ..f
