"Thats first rate idea," said the Presi-
dent, which took every bit of strength out
of the pony's legs, and when they picked
the monkey up he was rubbing so many
parts of himself that Mabel said he must
have rheumatism.
BY this time the animals all said that if
they didn't do something too they should go
home, and the kangaroo, who had been as
leep with his head in the parrots lap, said
that animals at crcuses was no fun at all.
"All right, then" said the President, 1--WE
will now have grand procession of animals
and all the rest of the circus" SO they got
down from the woodpile.
Cant we have some music2" asked
Mabel.
"Let's sing Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
said the elephant, and so they started off,
making really quite respectable show.
1t so happened that the sleepy kangaroo
was last, and rs he had instructions from
the President to hop az high as he could,
he was trying to do his best at it. But he
was more than half asleep, and they hadn't
been once around the shed when he hopped
on the heel of the guinea pig, who was just
in front of him. The guinea pig gave a
tremendous jump, and knocked over the
gentle lamb, and the gentle lamb was sc
mad that I'm ashamed to say he kicked the
guinea pig three or four times; and just as
they all ran up to stop the fight, Bridget the
cook appeared with a broom, and the circus
rushed out the door, and the guinea pig, who
lived in the next house, didn't stop until he
was safe in his mothers arms; while all
the other animals said.that if that was a cir.
Gus they "need't have to go to Sunday schoo
to find out that they was awful things.N

The Best Breeds of Fowls.

The question is often asked: (which is
the best breed of fowls?" That question
will never be answered to the satisfaction of
all fowl breeders because there are so many
different opinions on this subject, One man
has bred light Brahmas, and he thinks they
cannot be excelled another has the dark
Brahma, and he thinks that breed the best !;
while another likes the Leghorn, or some
other breed, above all others. 1t depends
on what your object is, whether eggs alone,
fowls for market, or both fowls and eggs.
Very large fowls are improbable as layers,
if the eggs be sold, because their eggs are so
large. A dozen small eggs will sell for as
much as dozen of large ones, as eggs are
eggs whether small or large AS layers on
ly, the different varieties of Leghorn and
Hamburg fowls, probably cannot be excelled.
bnt for dressed, market poultry, the light
Brahmas are unsurpassed and as layers
they are considered by many to be in the
| first class, and even the best of all breeds 1;
but it will not cost so much for feed to pro-
duce one hundred eggs from some of the
smaller birds, as from the larger ones. For
general use it is safe to say, that the light
Brahmas stand at the head of the list OF
dunghill fowls.

BEEF EATING.-Why farmers eat so lit
tie beef has, we, confess, always been some
thing we failed to understand. All of them
are beef raisers to some extent, and, at this
season of the year the cattle are generally
in good condition, yet not one in five kills
one beef annually A yearling or a two
year-old hefer well fatted can be bought in
the country at two cents per pound gross,
can be butchered at little or no cost, makes
a change of diet that is wholesome, and one
that is relished by every member of the
family +; yet the fact is as stubborn as ever,
that farmers eat but little beef We allude
to this subject now because we think all can
see the economy Of it, since pork is likely to
be higher than for several years. Another
view : We save the wintering of these young
and, in many instances, improbable cattle,
all Of which is an argument in favor of kill
ing them in the fall or early winter. There
is, besides, the change of diet, and the econ
omy of this system of living, the luxury OF
good dried beef and mince pie that follows
as its corollary. The more beef the less
pork.-,& Louis journal Of Agricutts~s.

EXPERIENCE.

WATERING PoULTRY.-It is the belief
of the writer that many of the diseases Incl
dent to poultry are due to neglect in provid-
ing them with pure water particularly do
| believe such to be the case in the majority
of instances where chicken cholera prevails.
The omission to furnish fowls with suitable
drinking water is one of the worst features
of cruelty to animals, 1t is neglect that
is decidedly adverse to success, hence tends
to diminish individual fancy for fowls, and
works detriment to poultry interests. Those
whom occasionally hear say that "there is
no profit in poultry" are not qualified to
have the management of the same, and in
their attentions may be classed with the
thriftless and neglected parties who keep
fowls that get drink when it rains,-Fan-

Bots in Horses.

Rarey says: SIN twenty-seven years
| time | never had a horse to die of the bots.
] believe that almost everybody is convinced
that the bots come from eggs or nits which
are deposited upon the horses hair by that
| troublesome fly resemblinga bee in color.
This has always been my opinion. Now it
is generally known that horse that has
the bots does not appear to suffer until he
| is too far gone to be cured. To prevent
| fatal effects of disease, / have made it a
practice to give my horses in the month of
September, the following remedy:
"Of olive oil, honey, and lemon juice,
each two ounces and a half, mix and give
those to the horse the next day purge well.
Whether horse be inclined or not to have
the bots, this remedy will do him no harm"
A correspondent of the department of
| agriculture says:
"It appears from remarks of different
writers that none know of any certain reme-
| dy. l know of remedy that is safe and
certain, discovered in the following way
"About thirty years ago friend of mine
lOSI ny DOtSy nuo uOTSe. I1e IOOh TOul
the stomach of the dead horse about gill
of bots and brought them to my Office to ex-
pertinent upon. He made preparations of
every remedy he had heard of, and put some
of them into each. Most of them had no
effect, few affected them slightly, but sage
tea more than anything else killed them in
fifteen hours. He concluded that he would
kill them by using nitric acid, but it had no
more effect upon them than water; the
third day they were as lively as when put
in. A bunch of tanzy was growing by my
Office. He took handful of that, bruised
it, added little water, squeezed out the
juice and put some in they were dead in
one minute. Since then l have given it to
every horse / have seen affected with bots,
and l have never known it to fail of giving
entire relief, My friend had another horse
affected with bots several years later. He
gave him dose of tanzy in the morning
and dose of salts in the evening. The
next morning he took up from the excretions
three half pints ofbots."

qloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and o grateful perfume.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 25.- A special
dispatch from Bismarck contains a glow
ing account from the Black Hills coun-
try. A party carrying the mail between
Bismarck and the Black Hills had re-
turned and gave wonderful reports of the
richness of the country. The report is
vouched for rs thoroughly trustworthy.
Twelve hundred men are now in that
portion of the Black Hills through which
rapid creek runs. The average dig.
gings are one dollar per hour to each
man, and they saw one hundred ant
thirty-seven dollars taken out in 81,
hours by four men, and the next day The
same force in the same time took ont on,
hundred and twelve dollars. Caliiornii
Joe. person of repown among the golt
miners, saw twenty-four dollars takel
out of one pan, there being one nugge
in it worth twenty dollars. All of tn
returning party brought specimens U
gold of splendid quality. They all agre
in the statement regarding the beaut
and richness of the country, and sa
Clusters report is not at all exaggerated
A large party is preparing to start fror
Bismarck for the Hills, and will take
large amount of goods. Bismarck mel
chants complain bitterly that the Norti
ern Pacific Railroad refuse to run train
to that place during the present ope
Winter. SO that supplies for the Blac
Hills may be sent forward to that place
which is much the nearest to the dil
gings.
