But some OF them-pretty good farmers,
too, in most things, get about the same re-
suits in "A roundabout way. They store
the moving machine in a leaky shed,
where il is used as turkey-roost; the

where the cattle knock them down and
break them; the carriage and hsrness
are kept where the stable fumes spoil the
varnish; and a general, slip-shoe style

A certain farmer, who in the course of
year purchased hundred dollars worth
Of goods--and always paid for them
called at the store cf village merchant,
his regular place Of dealing. with two
dozen brooms, which he offered for sale
The merchant-who, by the way, Is fond
of good bargain-examined his stock,
and said:
"Well. Cyrus, will give you shill-
ing apiece for these brooms.a
Cyrus appeared astonished at the offer,
and quickly replied:
"Oh. no, John, | can't begin TO take
that for am, no how but I'll let you have
'em for twenty cents apiece, and not cent
less"
Cyrus, you are crazy" answered
John "Why, see here" showing him a
fine lot of brooms, !" is an article great
deal better than yours''-which was not
true" that am retailing at twelve and
a-half cents apiecen-which was not true
by seven and a-half cents.
Il don't care for that, answered Cyrus
"your brooms are cheap enough, but you
can't have mine less than twenty cents,
no howl" and, pretending to be more than
half angry, shouldered his brooms and
started for the door.
The merchant, getting little nervous
over the probable loss of good customer,
and fearing he might go to some other
store ard never return, said:
"See here, Cyrus, hold on awhile. II
/ give you twenty cents for your brooms
suppose you will not object to take the
price of them in goods; :"
.No, don't care if do" replied Cy.
rus.
Well, then," said the merchant, las
you are ana old customer, will allow you
twenty cents apiece for this lot. Let me
see--twenty times twenty four make just
four hundred and eighty-yes, four dol.
lars and eighty cents. What kind of
goods will you have, Cyrus.''
Well, now, John, i reckon IL don't
make any difference to you what kind of
goods take, does ity'
"Oh, nc, not at all--not at ALP said
the merchant.
"Well, then, as il dos't make no differ
ence To you, I'll take the amount in them
ere brooms Of yourn, at twelve and a-half
cents apiece, Let me see--four dollars
and eighty cents will get thirty eight
brooms and five cents over. Ii don't

Of delay makes yoarcure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice Of remedy. The
amount Of testimony in favor Of Dr. Schencki Pull

sons Of the highest respectsbility, who have been
restored to health after being pronounced incursie
BY physicians Of acknowledged ability. Schencks
Puimonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these

by the employment Of two other remedies Which
DR.. schenck provides for the purpose. These adj

Extra Care Of Feeble Sheep.

In most focks there will usually be
found several feeble sheep which require
more care than the larger part OF the flock.
They are invalids. The strong and robust
sheep give these feeble ones push here
and thrust there, thus keeping them
back and away from their proper portion
of feed. These invalIds may be recog-
nized readily by their gaunt and sickly
appearance Unless they receive special
care during the cold weather they will not
survive the winter. Ii there are not more
than three or four OF these feeble ones,
fence of one corner of the yard for them,
or make shed with rails, poles and straw
for them, in case boards are scarce. Take
the rails from some fence and lay up two
courses about foot apart for the sides OF
the shed, and fill the space between the
rails with stable manure or old straw, or
small branches of evergreen trees. In
the absence of other material pillow up "A
lot of tough sods for filling in between
the rails. Cover the top with few rails
or poles; then lay on brush, If you have
nothing better, and cover over with straw
or cornstalks, and pile on sufficient TO
carry off the rain and snow. Ii straw Is
scarce cover layer OF brush and straw
with turf or sods laid so neatly that when
the surface Is frozen the rain will be car

fed about pound of oats and corn per
day Ii viii pay well TO take extra care
Of the invalid sheep. One thing is Ger.
tain, which is, If they are not separated
from the flock they will not survive until
spring. See, also, that they have access
TO water at all times. Sheep will live
without water, yet they will thrive better
if they can have easy access 20 II day and

THE BRAZILIAN EMPEROR.

The imperial party arrived here this evening, at
eight o'clock by from Kingston The trip down
the ST. Lawrence interested their Macstics very much
but after all they had heard Of tho Thousand Islands,
they wcrc somewhat disappointed In what they saw.
The same may be said Of the rapids, which are talked
about with an exaggeration truly Oriental Owing to
tho large quantity Of water in the river the rapids

excuse put forth by the natives
His Majesty has been very much Interested in all he
has seen during his short trip through Canada He
noticed al once the very marked difference the life

most prosperous want that busting activity OF tho
energetic American HE, while the less prosperous
places going rapidly TO ruin
Taking advantage Of lew hours delay at Toronto,
yesterday, His Majesty. accompanied by the Emprors
quarters Of semi detached villas made very favorable
impression. The Lunatc Asylum also attracted His
Macsys attention by its size and Importance and His
Majesty regretted that time would not permit him 10
inspect IT,
lew minutes before the starting OF tho train the
Mayor oil Toronto presented himself 1t the carriage
aud was admitted the Emperor. He said to HIS
Majesty. II greet Your Majesty to country and
greet you cannot stay for some days; we would have
great pleasure in showing you our institutions"
