when he was writing, we told him that

of having them correct. We then called
the agents attention to the item and ask
ed him if our policies were all right He
assured us that they were. Last Tuesday,
we were summoned before the insurance
adjusters to prove our losses. and our in
surance on fixtures was ruled out. We
were told that fixtures" were articles

been paying to have insured was furni-
ture, not .'hxture,n and hence uninsured,
and total loss to us. Printers will un-
derstand that our loss was quite heavy,
when we say that we only got insurance
on type, machinery and paper stock. Mr..
Phillips acknowledges manfully that he
was mistaken-that he supposed we were
properly insured, but that does not pay us
for any losses. The experience has been

Care of Cattle.

Cattle not unfrequently suficr i'll winter
Tor want OF water They are turned out
perhaps twice a day, and left out long
enough to help themselves If they would
But unless let out Immediately after full
feeding of dry food they will not always
incline to drink at first, and the owner
gets impatient and will not wait They
are tied up again and compelled to wait
till towards nj ght perhaps before they are
let out again. They may then drink too
freely of extremely cold water, often to
be got only by breaking through the ice
This is bad way to do, but it is by no
means uncommon. 1t is the fault of the
feeding. If they are fed properly there
is little difficulty in inducing them to
drink. 1t is great convenience to have
water brought into the barn or into some
warm place in the barn cellar, where it
does not freeze over, and where stock can
have easy access to it.

OLD OCEAN BED. The Telegraph says
that Mr.. George W. Richardson, OF Free
port, on Wednesday, dug mass of mud
from piece Of ground one and one-halt
miles from the sea shore, and two hundred
feet above the sea level The mud is
covered with six feet of sand and the mud
itself is nine feet deep. The mud is used
tor dressing, and Mr. Richardson says ii
works splendidly. 1t is full Of shells OF
different varieties-two OF them measuring
nearly three inches in length, the diameter
of the larger part being an inch and three
quarters. The mud itself is apparently
free from all grit las soft as putty and comes
ont i'll regular layers, varying from foot
to L inches in thickness The locality is
on the side of a ravine. Perhaps this mud
machine will prove a better investment
than the Massachusetts silver mine.

OUR HAIRS NUMBERED. Somebody
has been at the trouble of calculating the
average number OF hairs which grow on
an average persons head. 1t is found
that the number varies according to the
color of the hair. Light or blonde hair is
the most luxuriant, the average of this
color being 100000. When the hair is
brown the usual number is much less,
being only 10000, while black hairs reach
only the average amount of 100000 1t
might naturally be supposed that light
haired person, having the most hair,
wouid have the greatest weight to carry,
but 1t is not SO. That which is lightest
in color is also lightest in weight; and a
lady with abundant flaxen locks is as
light headed as one whose tresses are of a
raven hue. Hence it follows that the
former is of a finer texture

Brine for Preserving Butter.

The Dutchess Farmer says: Ito three
gallons of brine strong enough to bear an
egg, add quarter of pound Of nice
white sugar and one tablespoonful Of salt
petre, Boil the brine, and when it is co d
strain carefully. Make your butter into
rolls, and wrap each roll separately in
clean white muslin cloth. tying up with
string. Pack large jar full, weight the
butter down, and pour over the brine un-
til all is submerged. This will keep real
ly good butter perfectly sweet and fresh
for whole year Be careful to not put
upon ice butter that you wish to keep for
any length Of time In summer, when
the heat will not admit OF butter being
made into rolls, pack closely in small Jars,
and using the same brine allow it to cover
the butter to the depth of at least four
inches. This excludes the air and an
swers very nearly as well is the first
method suggested'

BUSINESS FAILURES.

By the report just issued by the
Mercantile Agency of R. Dunn &
Co. for the nine months of the pres
ent year, it appears that the failures
in the United States and Territories
foot up 1884, with liabilities
amounting to $131,172,5O3 These
figures are large, and hardly accord
with the impression that business
has been conducted on an unusual
ly sound and healthy basis. Com
pared with the three years, they
show an excess of LIZA in the num-
Der of failures, and of 3,73O, 900 in
the amount of liabilities. OF these
totals New York is credited with
1,022 failures, or more than one
fifth, with liabilities of $40, Ill, POT
and Pennsylvania with 419 failures,
with liabilities of 81, 013, $50. Mas
sachusetts has 564 failures recorded
against her, with liabilities footing

CROOKED WHISKY.

The prosecutions of the whisky
rings at st. Louis and elsewhere, is
at present attracting the attention of
the government and the public. st.
Louis seems to be the abode of the
principal ~rascals, but other places
are doing a good deal of the same
kind of work, and many precincts
are yet to be heard from or discov-
cred. Some rich developments are
made, involving the most loyal oft
ner than others, and government re-
venue officers that r supposed to
be the very elect, are found TO be
guilty Of the worst possible frauds
ON the government. The government
may be considered worthy of com
mendation for its action in these re-
cent prosecutions, but when we con-
slider the fact that the frauds have
existed in many S for months,
and in some for years, and that the
government has, at least in several
instances, been informed of the facts
long before it moved in the matter,
it is more reasonable to conclude
that as long as it was safe, the pow
ers at Washington winked at the
perpetrators on the principle of sad
dition, division and silence" and
only when the swindling schemes be-
came so gigantic as to be impossible
to conceal, does the government pull
down the rotten roost. This is the
true state of affairs in this connec-
ton, and the pretensions of Grants
hirelings and third term organs, that
it means any reform in the robbery
and scoundrelism that has governed
Grants administration from list first
inception to the present day, is all
bosh and political clap-trap to de-
ceive the people.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-11-25

Sagacious politicians express the
opinion that the result Of the late
elections will lead invariable to the
nomination of Grant, for q third
term, based on the religious issue,
and a leading Independent journal OF
the East, predicts that within SIX
months from the present the Repub-
lican papers, which at this moment
declare they will never, under any
circumstances, support Grant for q
third term, will be found insisting
that nothing but the nomination Of
Grant can save the public schools
and restore specie payment.
