Iron versus Wood ON the Farm.

Gas look at my iron field gates"
says the celebrated English farmer, j.
J. Mechi, "iron wire fences, iron sheep
hurdles, supplied to me by my friend
Garrett, thirty odd years ago, but all
perfect now, and when / compare them
with the rotten gate posts and other
wooden matter of an equal age, can
only wonder that agriculture still runs in
the old wooden rut. Iron tubs and iron
barrows stand alike heat and cold-no
cooperage and carpentering. The posts
which support our sheds should, If ofwood,
have their feet placed within the socket
of, an iron pipe driven in the ground. j
saw this admirably done at the Earl of
Essex's, Cassiobury, where the lower end
of unplaned fir poles rested IN the
socket of iron pipes (5s. each), firmly
embedded in the soil. Pig troughs and
drinking troughs for animals and poultry
appear to be nearly everlasting, while
the water in them is always acceptable.
We find the large circular pig troughs
very convenient in the sheep fold, for
their weight and form prevents their be-
ing upset by the sheep, and the water
lost. The temperature of the water is
also slightly raised by the heated iron. l

THE ONLY PUMPKIN.
a Good story for Thanksgiving.
BY MARY KYLE DALLAS.

BY MARY KYLE DALLAS.
1t was on Thanksgiving night, after all
the friends and relatives who had spent
a merry evening at the house had taken
themselves away with loud laughter and
invitations to "come over soon," shout
ed out of the darkness as the wagon
rolled away--after the children had been
sent to bed in high glee at the unwonted
infraction on early hours, and while his
wife was still putting away the silver and
fine table linen-that Farmer Fielding
went out alone, with lantern swinging
in his hand, to take last look at the
stable and cow-house, and make sure
that the great barn door was properly
fastened.
He should have returned in ten min
utes, but twenty had passed, wnen Mrs.
Fielding, looking at the clock, asked
herself in some surprise, what Hiram
could have found to dol And when ten
more followed without bringing him,
and ten more followed them, she grew
a little alarmed, and, tossing shawl
over her head, went down the path
that led from the kitchen to the barn
calling:
Hiram Hiram ~
There was no answer.
"Hiram 7" she called again, her voice
taking on that shrill and unmusical tone
which fright brings with it. Hiram
Speak Where are you
She stood by the barn door now. and
il was wide open, swinging in the wind
on its great hinges ; and within all was
silent and dark. There was not a sound
not a glimmer of light from the Ian
tern. Surely her husband would not
have left the barn open like that Surely
if he were there, she should see him, or
hear him at least, even if the lantern had
gone outl
"Oh, Hiram |" she cried. Don't
scare me +; don't try to scare me,
dear for indeed I'm turning faint. I'm
So"
There she paused, struck dumb with
terror. She had taken a step forward,
and her foot had struck something soft

The Passions That Induce Disease.

The passions which act most severely
on the physical life are anger, fear, ha-
tired and grief. The other passions are
comparatively innocuous. What is called
the passion of love is not injurious until
it lapses INTO grief and anxiety; on the
contrary, it sustains the physical power.
What is called ambition is of itself harm
less; for ambition, when it exists purely,
is a nobility lifting its owner entirely
from himself into the exalted service of
mankind. 1t injuries when it is debased
by its meaner ally, pride; or when, slim
ulating man to too strenuous efforts
after some greet object, it leads him to
the performance of excessive mental or
physical labor and to the consequences
that follow such effort.
The passion called avarice, according
to my experience, tends rather TO the
preservation of the body than to its de-
terioration. The avaricious man, who
seems to the luxurious world to be de-
barring himself of all the pleasures of
the world, and even TO be exposing him
self to the fangs OF poverty, is generally
placing himself in the precise conditions
favorable to a long and healthy exist
ence. BY his economy he is saving him
self from all the worry incident to penu.
ry; by his caution he is screening him
self from all the risks incident to specu-
lation or the attempt to amass wealth by
hazardous means; by his regularity of
hours and perfect appropriation of the
sunlight, in preference TO artificial illu-
mination, he rests and works in periods
that precisely accord with the periodicy
of nature; by his abstemiousness in liv-
ing he takes just enough to live, which
is precisely the right thing to do accord
ing to the rigid natural law. Thus, in
almost every particular, he goes on his
way freer than other men from the ex-
ternal causes of all the induced diseases,
and better protected than most men from
the worst consequences of those diseases
which spring from causes that are nm
comfortable. Popular Science Monthly

ReminIscence Of the Deep Snow.

A correspondent of the Bloomington
Pdntagraph gives some interesting
items of the "deep snow in Illinois in
the winter of 1S30-31. He says:
The snow fell about thirty inches
deep. 1t then cleared off a little, then
it again showed till it was four feet deep.
1t was so soft / could walk through it
and the quails, when they flew, would
light in the snow and be buried, so you
could run your hand down into the
snow and get them out. In this way
you could catch an entire covey by
watching where they lit. The prairie
chickens would die III the drifts with
their tails SO that the snow banked over
them and fastened them in. You could
dig ont all of these you wanted also in
little while. But the great destruction
was with the deer we caught-thirty-
eight in two days, by four boys aud
three dogs. A slight crust formed on
the snow, which small dog could rln
on. When the deer came over o drift
they would break through. We were
going over or across some hollows when
we met three deer, with the dogs close
behind them. jumped out ahead of
big horned fellow, and the dog laid hold,
and all of us, being over "A hollow filled
up with loose snow some fifteen feet
deep, went To the bottom. Il happened
to get tail hold, and not fearing the
horns so long as l had good hold, we
were badly covered up in the snow. The
old buck commenced climbing up the
side hill till his horns reached the crust,
when he soon made hole through it,
but before he got out l cut his ham,
string. My comrades were looking all
around to see how they would get us
out The little dog followed me out,
and started off for another deer. The
last four we caught we brought home
alive. They had shed their horns and
were poor. We put them in n lot with
cattle, and they stayed till grass be-
came quite plenty, and then they forgot
to come back.
The drifting of the snow was very
deep. A long lane with high rail fence
was nearly covered, stakes and all. 1t
was a month before we got road
through the lane, and, when the snow
went off, the road-bed was four or five
feet high, hard and solid. The ten-ox
sled-load of youngsters would some
times upset and dump them in the
mud. All through the winter the
snow lay on the ground like floor,
never melting by the sun till near the
last of March. The frost was nearly
out before this, as we found in hunting
for sassafras for tea, which was the drink
in those days.

A New Process of Making Bread.

NJ Cecil, French engineer, has in
vented o new process of preparing the
materials for making bread, which has
receiving the approval of the Minister
OF War. and will hereafter be adopted
in tho French army. BY this process
nm increased percentage of the nutritive
properties of grain is retained, so that
bv avoiding the usual grinding and wet
ting the grain that would make 115
pounds of bread in the ordinary way will
make what is equivalent to l40 pounds.
The new process is described as follows:
The unground grain is first stepped in
water, after which il is placed in revolv-
ing cylinders, by which IL is deprived of
its outer husk, which contains but or
> per cent. OF nutriment The grains
are then softened 10y forming them into
thin sponge, and keeping them for
space Of six to eight hours at a tempera-
trre of seventy-seven degrees Fahren-
helt. They are then crushed uuder and
made into dough with salt and water, MS
