ECoNoMIzE FoDDER.-All through the
large area of country over which the
unparalleled drought of the past season
prevailed, there is scant supply of food
for stock animals. Therefore, it becomes
a matter OF first consideration to econo-
mize in feeding from the very start of
winter. As warmth is equivalent to a
certain amount of food, it is important
TO provide warm stables and shelters for
every animal. When stock is exposed to
cold a large quantity of grain is requir-
ed to sustain the ordinary animal heat.
A hungry man cannot endure the cold;
but give him a full meal and he will
again brace the fury of winters blast.
Food is equivalent TO artificial warmth;
and so, Un the other hand, artificial
warmth, or warm stables. is equivalent
to food.-Detrott Tribune.

STANDARD FRAMES IS. ID. Mclean.
in the Bee World, says: 1.-The size of
suspension frame i use in my own apiary
is fourteen and one quarter by nine and
one quarter inches, though not the size
prefer. Were l to commence anew l
would make my frames fifteen by ten
inches, exactly, outside measure, with
three-fourths of an inch extension at
each end of top bars to rest on the rab-
bets of the hive. / suggest that size to
the advocates of a standard frame, as a
compromise among the many now in use.
The length would be about a medium
between the Quinby and the Gallup
frames-the longest and the shortest
frames made-and the depth would be
amply sufficient for brood combs, aud
not so deep as to be liable TO swing to-
gether at the bottom, or have wavy
combs in them"

n DRUNKARD'S COSFEssION.-W
quote the following referring to the ex-
perience of Charles Lamb:
Charles Lamb says in his confessions of
drunkard: Could the youth to whom
the flavor Of his first wine is as delicious
as the opening seasons ofIife on entering
upon some newly discovered paradise
look into my desolation and be made TO
understand what a dreary thing it is
when a man feels himself going down n
PreeiPiee with open eyes and passive will
TO see his destruction and hive no
power to stop it, and yet to feel it all the
while emanating from himseif-to feel
all goodness emptied out of himself. and
yet not be able to forget the time when
1t was Otherwise-tO bear about himself
the spectacle of his own self in ruins
Could he see my fevered eye, feverish
with last nights drinking, aud feverishly
looking forward for this nights repeti-
tion Of the folly-couId he see the body
OF the death out or which cry hourly.
with fee5ler aud feebler outcry to be de-
liyered; it were enough to make him
dash the sparkling beverages to earth in
all the pride Of its nantling temptation.
to make him clasp his teeth and not un-
do them to suffer damnation to run thro'
them

BURNING BRICK.-To make per
feet brick, the first thing TO be done.
after it is ascertained that the material
out of which the brick is to be made is
of the right quality, is to dig and east
up loose in the fall of the year, as much
stuff as it is intended TO make into bricks
the following season. in order that the
rain, snow. frost, thaw and atmospheric
air may deeompose and mature every
particle possible, and prepare it, ready
for the tempering machine in the coming
spring.
Bricks, whether of clay or clay loan,
prepared in this manner and burnt with
petroleum, are vastly superior, as to
quality, beauty and durability, to bricks
made of immature, raw material. There
being neither smoke, dust nor SCOT en-
tering the kiln during The process of
burning, the bricks when taken from the
kiln, have the appearance of -planed
small blocks of wood.
This method OF burning bricks and
other clay articles is most certainly des-
tined to revolutionize the whole system
of the United States.-iSrientitlc Ameri-
can.

TRAVELLING APIARIBs.-The n. 7.
Tribune says: ''Some of our apiarians
are talking of a wagon with frames for a
large number of hives, that can be NOV
ed about from one location to another
The benefits claimed are to take advan-
tage, first, of the maple and willow
blooms; next come back to orchards and
white clover; then of to the forests for
the Eastwood and other flowers; then
for the blossoms of the tulip tree, and
finally back to the fields of buckwheat
and flowers of Autumn. This plan has
been pursued in a small way for some
years."

THE FUTURE OF FENCEs.-It is not
so easy to give up old notions, however
defenseless, but we predict that in our
more cultivated towns and villages, the
old wooden fences will not be renewed
in anything like their former bulk and
pretentiousness. They either will give
way TO the simplest and openest forms
which may be Necessary for protection,
or to the simplest curbstone or low
hedge for demarcation, or, which in
very many cases is about as well, to no
fence at all. 1t has been tried at Will
Jamestown. the college fences. and most
of those connected with private resi-
dences, having beea removed, to the
manifest improvement and enhanced
beauty of the village. Longmeadow is
trying the experiment, the fences having
recently disappeared from before some
of the handsomest residences with sur
prisingly pleasant results. One of the
most charming manufacturing villages
in Connecticut, Cheneyville, has no
fences to mar its beauty, and the cot
tages of Vineyard Grove owe their gar
den-like and inviting look, in large
degree, Ia the absence of the various
eye-sOres with which the customary vari-
ETY. of fences are wont to defOrm the
landscape

Wealth Of FaImers.

When one takes dive into agricultu-
raj statistics by way of ascertaining the
actual grievance of the average granger,
he is struck by the fact that there must
necessarily be a variety Of other classes
who are even worse off than the grang
ers themselves. Mr. S. B. Ruggles ex-
hibits taste for this sort Of inquiry, and
at the Social Science Congress he gave
the result Of his invertigatiOni III some as
tonishiug figures. He stated that the peo-
pie Of ten States lying north of the Ohio
river, owned, in 1850, property valued at
1914, OOO. go. The population OF these
States bas more than dOubled in the past
ten year.. In 1870 the value Of this farm
property was s.. 132, ,OOO, O00 The value
Of the farm products was not given III
1850 and 1860, but in 1879 it was shown
in these States to he S97S, 600, 600. The
farmer was not a serf He had no tyran-
nical landlord I" oppress him. 1t was
shown that 975 Of every ], 900 farmers in
this section owned farms. In twenty
years they had accumulated 5000, 600
worth of property. The census Of 1870
showed that there were 2, 600, 600 farm
ers. This would give an average amount
of S2, 400 each. 1t is also shown that
they paid their help less than ten per
cent. oi their income They had paid
S91, 900, 600 for help. 1t was likewise
shown that each and all of these power
ty-stricken farmers above the age of ten
years were in receipt of an income of
$500. In the light of this great progress
what would be the result of the year
1900. In 1850 there were raised 300,s
OOO, ,OOO bushels of grain in the States;
in 1860, $50, 600, 600 bushels; in 1870,
$40, 900, O0G bushels, or q, 600, 600 tons of
grain. The figures are stupendous.-
st. Louis Times.
Apropos to this subject, we attended
the agricultural fair held at Newark, o.,
this fall, and were filed with admiration
and wonder, to see such vast number
of fine equipages, and richly dressed and
eIegant-looking people. We asked a far
mer friend where they all came from.
Were they city folks! Were there many
