Hints for Farmers.

HOrses.-Pasture has lost its value
now, and the nights are too cold for
horses to be kept out of the stable.
Colts should have pint of oats daily.
and be halter broken. Their education
should be begun now, and the first
thing to be done is to accustsm them
to handling, brushing, and restraint.
B"tience and kindness with colt
will go far to form good disposition
in the future horse.
Rubbish.-MriadS of insects and
spores of mold and Injurious fungi
gather in the rubbish of the farm.
Burn every thing of this kind. Potato
tops harbor the spores Of the potato
disease straw, corn-fodder and stubs,
harbor chinch bugs; chips, bark,
weeds, and all such waste, furnish
hiding places for grubs, beetles, etc.
AS preventive measures none are
more effective than general neatness
and cleanliness everywhere about the
farm.
Sundry Matters.-A safe lantern
should be procured for the stable and
barn. If Kerosene oil is used, only
those kind that are known to be safe
should be purchased. The small extra
cost is nothing rs compared with
safety from accident. No farmer can
afford to 90 uninsured. Choose n we'll
known, safe company in which to
insure. Painting can be done better
and cheaper now than at any other
time; there.are.no dust nor flies to spoil
the paint. Leaves should be gathered
for bedding there is nothing safer in
the brood sow's pen. Stones and
stumps may be cleared off. cellars
banked up, cleaned, and whitewashed,
and every tool and implement cleaned
and slowed away.

Chinese Big Trees.

China has its big trees AS we'll as
California. About 80 miles from Nix
ko. an avenue of sugi. or cedar trees
begins. and. with an occasional break
where there is village. it reaches the
whole distance to the shrine of Lycias
the longest avenue of trees in the
world. The great trees are from five
to seven feet in diameter at the base,
and tower without branch for so or
SO feet. and then lift their heads 40 or
90 feet higher. They resemble the
giants of the Yosemite. The TRUNKS
are faultlessly straight and the bark is
deeply veined. There are about 81. 900
trees on this avenue. and all of them
were planted afte- the foundation of
the shrine. about $50 years ago.

Pr0tect the STRAWBERRY Beds.

Protect the strawberry Beds.
1t being beyond the power of the
horticulturist, in most cases, to pro.
tect the orchards from the hard freez-
ing of winter, and thus to protect the
fruit buds, it stands the lover of fruits
in hand to protect the small fruits as
far as possible. The strawberry is one
of the most desirable of fruits, for it
is almost certain crop with proper
care. Cover the bed with thin coat
ing of light mulch-such as rotten
straw which has become dry-then
cover with marsh hay or clean straw.
A light coat is better than too much,
as the vines may be smothered by the
heavy coating. After the danger of
frost is over in the spring, rake off the
coarser material leaving the finer as a
mulch during the growing season.
Great damage is often done by drouth
about the time the berries ripen, and
it is of as much Importance to protect
the plants from this as from the freez.
ing weather of winter. If the mulch
is put on in the fall, it will prevent
the ground from being beaten down
and put in condition to bake when the
frost is going out in the spring. There
is nothing that will pay better for the
time required than the strawberry-bed,
and the only wonder is that farmers
do not more generally avail themselv es
of the advantages of small patch.
Chickens Fit to Eat.
Don't imagine that it makes no diff
ference how your Thanksgiving chick
ems have been brought up. Don't sup
pose that they will be good anyhow
Chickens have been carefully dressed,
deliciously stuffed, assidiously basted,
and tenderly roasted, and yet they
were not fit to eat. There was flavor
about them that no soda rinsings could
cleanse and no seasOnings conceal.
These were chickens that had picked
up their living around pig-sties and
other unclean places.
A chicken may be spoiled in dress
ing it to cook. If killed with full
crop, and allowed to lie for hours be.
fore it is ''drawn," or relieved of its
internal organs). it gets an unpleasant
flavor. Fowls should be caught and
shut up without food for twelve hours
or more before they are beheaded.
Then the crop and intestines will be
empty, and the task of picking and
dressing it will be greatly lessened.
Old fowls are not necessarily tough
only cook them long enough. They are
more tender twenty-four hours after
they are killed, than if eaten imme.
diately.

A Ballet Girl Burnt ut the Stake.
London Telegraph, Jan15.l

An inquest was held at Sheffield on the
body of the poor ballet girl, Alma Oldale,
who met her death under the wretched
circumstances, through fire which oc-
Cured during the performance of panto-
mime at the Sheffield Theatre on the 18th
of December last. The unfortunate de-
ceased was only 18 years of age, and was
engaged to enact the part of an ''extra'
or Styling lady, in the transformation
scene of the pantomime. She was sus.
pended from the 'sflies,'' standing on q
piece of iron, and strapped to an iron rod
at her back. The gauze curtains at the
wing, from some unknown cause, caught
fire, and were blown by a current of cold
air toward the deceased her muslin skirts
she had on beside only single garment
were at once enveloped in flames, and it
was stated 1T the inquest that two min
utes elasped before she could be lowered
to the stage. Being strapped to the iron
rod, she was, of course, utterly powerless,
and between such fate and being burnt
alive at the stake We are unable to discern
any material difference. Alma Oldale
appears to have undergone the process of
roasting with remarkable courage. but
her nervous system was entirely shatter-
ed by the shock she had sustained, and,
after lingering few days the poor crea-
ture died.

Another Attempt at Suicide.

In St. Paul, en- the 5th, about half past
eight o'clock a. m, a bell boy at the Mer-
chants Hotel, in obedience to a call, as
announced by the indicator in the office,
repaired to the room of G. n. Harrington.
the cashier of the establishment, and on
entering found him lying in his bed
moaning and wailing and bleeding pro-
fusely from large wound in his left side,
Immediately below the heart.
The pistol with which the wound was
inflicted, and which was found in the bed,
was patent single barrel Colt, carrying
Al cartridge, as large as an ordinary
mans little finger. DR.. Stone also found
in the room another pistol Ooaded) of
the exact size Of that named, and also a
seven barreled revolver unloaded, besides
large dirk knife, all of which are now
in the Doctors possession. The Doctor,
on entering the room, found the wound
still bleeding profusely, and from the
blood stains On the bed clothing
and floor, it appeared that
Harrington, after the shooting, had
risen from his bed.and staggered to the
bell cord, rung the bell and thence re-.
turned to the bed in which he was found
by the boy.
1t appears that after the shooting he
relented and his murderous disposition to
'*foredo his own life'' changed into one of
abject fear and an evident disinclination
to ''shuffle off, at this particular juno
ture. This is readily deducible from his
actions after firing the shot, when he, in
the language of an informant, shalloed
like loon," which, together with the
ringing of the bell and the boys entrance
into the room, first attracted the atten-
ton of the few who then came into
knowledge of the occurrence.
As to the inducing cause of the rash
act it is useless to seek to disguise the
fact that it is directly traceable to mari
tai chickering's and incompatibilities.
Whatever may be the ''true inwardness''
Of these infelicities or which party is to
blame therefor is not known, nor in
the present state of the case does it
concern the public. But it is needless to
deny that to the causes named, and the
excitement consequent on the undue in
diligence in liquor, a bottle of which he
is said to have drank after repairing to
his room, is due this sad affair which in
all human probability may result in the
hurrying to an untimely grave young
man in the full bloom and vigor of man
hood. {.

Gent, careful, otliging and thorough set
OF railroad men and gentlemen do not
exist-and they will very quickly there,
after find themselves in Bismarck. in fine
shape to start across to the Black Hills
tho finest of all overland routes yet dis.
covered-and in six days easy travel can
commence panning out the precious metal
for themselves.
Now that We have given, in the rough
all that need be said at this time concern.
ing 1.-The mineral resources of the section
of country under consideration, and given
something of detailed description Of the
route and best manner to 70 about to get
to the mining region, we shall conclude
by few words as to the general charac-
ter Of the Black Hills country, outside it's
mining or mineral features.
The country, as might be naturally
supposed, is, as whole, a succession of
hills, buttes and valleys, with occasional
parks and table lands. The entire coun-
try is we'll timbered. and the most luxu-
rious and nutritious pasturage and rich
soils is found in all the valleys. Spark.
ling streams. filled with the choicest fish,
thread their way like ribbons of silver
through every valley, while gushing
springs pour out from the sides Of
the hills ard mountains on every
hand. There are many kinds Of valu-
able deposits there, besides gold,
which exists in endless quantities-such
as gypsum, granite, and other deposits.
The climate is Of even temperature in all
the districts fitted for agricultural pur-
suits, and is suited for tho general pro-
duction Of all crops incident to our own
State. Either agriculture, stock.raising,
numbering or mining, can be carried on
TO an unlimited extent, which fact rem
ders it a country quite unlike most other
mineral regions, and hence, it offers the
finest inducements to every branch of in
dustrious producers. All productions,
for the first, will find ready
market at their own door,
and the enviable aud central
geographical location Of the Hills coun.
try, with its wealth in mineral and other
wonderful resources, must speedily, like
an irresistible magnet, draw the thor
oughtares Of transportation to it from the
old inhabited portions Of the country
including the Northern Paciic-or
rather a branch Of it. For the reasons
given we expect to see greater rush to
the Black Hills gold regions than to any
yet developed in the history of the coun.
try; because all classes of industry can
safely center there with full assurance
that their willing hands may readily. find
plenty Of profitable employment outside
of the golden gulchcs.

Chairman, without bitterness. because
you cannot tell me that any man died in

A Patriotic Speech i'm Favor OF til
Centennial.

[speech of Mr.. Robbins IN. CO. on Centennial. ]
Mr.. CHAIRMAN: In North Carolina
there lives an old man who in 1861 had
six sons just grown up to manhood. At
the first tap OF the drum the six sons
went to the front to fight for the cause of
the South. They did not stop to reason
much about it. North Carolina called
for them and they went. Most of them
were over here at the frs: battle of Bull
Run, and from there to Appomattox
they followed that bloody and fiery track
Of war all the way by Chickahominy,
Fredericksburg, Antietam, Chancellors-
vile, Chickamauga, Gettysburg, Wilder
ness and Petersburg. There were not
six when they got to Appomattox-there
were but two. -Four were sleeping in
their bloody blankets; one at Antietam,
another at Charlottesville, another on
the Chickahominy and another in Ken
lucky. Two were at Appomattox, battle
Scared, to see the flag go down forever
which they had followed with such un-
faltering devotion. One of those two
survivors stands here and speaks to you
now, and he says that he has seen enough
ofwar, and wants. peace. He wants rec.
onciliation; he wants good feeling; he
wants fraternity everywhere in the coun.
try And that is the reason, Mr.. Chair
man, why l propose to vote for this bill,
because l think it's tendency is to produce
that peace which we need. Why have
We not had it! AT Appomattox, Mr..
Chairman, when we were waiting to sec
whether old "Uncle Robert" was going to
tell us to charge or to surrender, and did
not know which, [ went into the little
church which stood close by and there
lay large Bible on the stand and opened
it. The words which fell first on nv eve
were these, and they seemed prophetic:
$50, the winter is PAST; the rain is over
and gone; the flowers appear on the
earth; the time of the singing
Of birds has come, and the
voice Of the turtle is heard in our
land" I thought, Mr.. Chairman, it was
prophetic. welcomed it as the harbin-
ger of peace. Why is it not peace +?
Why have we not had peace? The SOL
diers fought the great question out with
bayonets and muskets and cannon hut
they have quit fighting. It is be.
cause few restless agitators still want
to keep up the fight, and their only
weapons are jaw.tones. Great laugh.

En- route from Cheyenne teams re-
quire eighteen to twenty days, while the
Bismarck party made the return trip in
the dead of winter in seventy.two hours,
and party made it last summer, with
pack mules, in eight days.
These comprise bare outline of the
facts concerning the richness and extent
of the diggings in the Black Hills, and a
proof that cannot be gainsaid that the
route by the way Of the Northern Pacific,
with Bismarck as fitting out point, is
the route of all routes to reach the Hills
in the shortest time, and is the most
economical, pleasant, and safest route to
go. Allthat is necessary, is to- give the
facts to the outside world, as to the many
and eminently superior advantages of the
Northern Pacific route, and in a few
weeks more thousands of people de-
sirous of going to the Hills will be
pouring this way-as safety, speed con-
venienccs and economy are the items
that will be sought after by expeditions
moving toward the gold fields, and the
Northern Pacific route has nov been
proven to be ahead Of all competing
routes on every "count.''
We have authority for stating that the
Northern Pacific company will be pre-.
pared any day to deliver expeditions and
outfits through from St! Paul to Bis.
