Protect Domestic Animals from Cold.

OUTHoUsEs, kept in sufficient number
and in good repair, will as certainly pay
as well-cultivated fields. Much sickness
and death of live stock may be prevented
by judicious feeding, shelter and hygienic
care. What is so often ascribed to bad
luck ought in truth to be ascribed to the
slothful habits and ignorance of farmers.
Nature commits the domestic animals to
man as Il part of his stock-in- trade; but the
laws of animal life and health are not
suspended, and the farmer whose pro-
cedure violates these laws must paw for
his ignorance or careleSsness in money or
its equivalent. But domestic animals are
subject to the same diseases as man
pneumonia, typhoid fever, inflammation
of the bowels, etc. These diseases are
produced by similar or the same causes as
in man. No matter how bountiful in
quantity or good in quality the food for
stock may be, if they have not sufficient
protection or shelter from the severe win
ter winds and cold rains the loss, if not
of life, will necessarily be very consider
able. If man will but observe the
effects of cold rains on hogs, cattle and
horses he will certainly observe the ne
cessity of shielding them from it. 1t is
impossible that the normal processes of
digestion and assimilation of food can
proceed regularly when the animal is ex-
posed to all the seventies of the weather
No doubt this is one reason why domestic
breeds so rapidly degenerate when put
from under the care Of man. 1t is no lln-
common thing to see farmers stock houses
wretchedly out of repair-the winds
whistling through them and the rains
driving into them, making them damp,
piercing cold. Then it is often the case
that hogs have no shelter other than they
can find themselves. The qualities of
animals thus exposed must inevitably
degenerate, so that loss is sustained, al
though 1t may escape the observation of
the stupid farmer, who supposes that man
alone needs protection from the weather.
From this one cause many Il farmer loses
hundreds Of dollars every year-N. Y.

How Doctors Differ.

A patient has dull, heavy feeling about
the head, with a dizzy, whirling sensation
when rising up suddenly, bad taste in the
mouth, with foul breath, a feeling like a load
on the stomach after eating, with a faint,
all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach
that food will not satisfy, pains about the
side, back or shoulder, hands and feet some
times cold and clammy, alternating with hot
Pushes, sour eructatons from the stomach,
eyes tinged with yellow, blood thick and
stagnant, with costive bowels, and all at
tendant symptoms. One doctor examines
the and calls it liver complaint, another
kidney disease, another dyspepsia, and still
another impurity of the blood. Now the
fact is all of these doctors are right and they
are all wrong, because such patients have
all of these diseases combined, and the
reason such diseases are not cured is because
the custom is to treat one of the diseases at
a time. While one is being cured the other
gets worse. We should treat the disease
with remedy that will act upon all at the
same time. The SHAKER EXTRACT OF RoOTs
mot a patent mcdicine) is made by the
Shakers to cffectually remove all of these
distressing symptoms. Sold by A. j. White,

THE Paris Ltbefte says that under the
flooring of house which has been pulled
down in the Rue du Jardinet for the pur-
pose of extending the Boulevard St. Ger
main some workmen found paper parcel
containing 100 900 francs in notes. They
had doubtless been hidden there during
the Reign Of Terror. Unfortunately for
the finders, who might have claimed half
the amount, the sum was in assignats,
which are, of course, worthless as a mon
etary medium, and as curiosities might,
perhaps, fetch two francs.

The Romance Of q Bag OF Gold.

They tell this true story Of man in
London, Who some years ago lost, then
found, then lost again, Q very respectable
fortune in q most romantic manner: He
was . sailor, and, engaging in the Ma
poleonic wars, was one of Q crew which
took . very valuable prize. His own
share amounted to large sum. He went
% the proper Office and received his
golden guineas in . large leathern bag.
Proceeding with this along the street he
noticed that his shoesiring was united.
He put his bag Of gold upon Q post and
bent over 70 tie it. At that moment he
was seized by . press gang, hurried off to
the war-ship, held in service, taken pris-
oner by the Moorx, and kept in bondage
by them for many years. Meanwhile q
man came along, found the bag, adver-
tised 1t IS found, and, having no salts
factory response, used it to set himself up
- . banker. He thrived; time passed
on; in forty years he retired, rich. One
day an old man called upon him and
claimed the bag of gold. The sailor had
returned, had heard by chance OF the adj
vertisemcnt. had hunted it up, and had
found the finder. The latter told him
that II he could come the next day he
should have his money, with compound
interest added The sailor went away and
never returned and to this day it is mys-
tery what became of him or why he
never went back to get his own.
