The Rural Neu Yorker gives in sub
stance the following method of striking
cuttings, which has been found reMarka-
bly, easy: Take flower pot about eight
inches in diameter, invert saucer within
it large enough to rest against the sides
half way down, or lower, which is better
than using broken crooks or stones.
This drainage is necessary where there is
no bottom heat. Then fit to. the brim
with very coarse sifted sand. Place the
pot in strong light and saturate the sand
few hours with water, providing a
proper vessel for drainage. Make the
cuttings from two to five inches long, re-
tanning more leaves in autumn than ear
lier, but stripping them off nearly to the
top. and insert them half an INCH in depth,
about twenty to the pot. New buds in
time will show that. roots are Termed,
when they are to be lifted out with d tea
spoon, and set nsnial1 pots of rich sandy
soil, avoiding clayey soil which will be-;
come too hard. If too many leaves are
left on the cutting, they will be likely

Keep the Animals Warm.

The first cold blast of wind from the
north is a reminder that animals, however
tough and hardy, need shelter in winter.
1t will take less food to keep firm stock
over winter in warm stables than when ex-
posed to severe cold. OF course good
wood, stone or brick barns and stables are
expensive, and there are many farmers,
especially in the recently settled districts,
who have not the means to build such
structures, but there is no one too poor to
furnish some kind of shelter fer their
animals. If a man cannot afford to build
what he desires, let him do the next best
thing, and build something which will
furnish shelter, even if il is nothing better
than shed, with sod for walls, and a roof
of brush or cornstalks. All attempts at
elegance or extra convenience may be left
out of the question where mans purse is
light; still, it Is economy to keep all farm
stock sheltered from cold, wind and storms
in winter, even if the owner does not pos
sess enough of the humane feelings to care
for their comfort.
More than one-half of all the diseases
and parasites which infest farm stock are
the direct result of neglecting to furnish
them with proper food or shelter during
cold, stormy weather. Cattle of all kinds,
when forced to remain in muddy, wet
yards during cold weather, are liable to
various diseases of the feet, such as hoof-
all and foot rot. and the best preventive is
dry ground, or yards Uttered with straw,
or some similar coarse material. Stand
ing long time in filth, whether in the
stable or yard, is almost certain to bring
on diseases of the feet. All kinds of farm
stock are liable to take cold when exposed
to storms, and from this comes weak
ened constitution, which invites various
kinds of diseases and parasitic insects.
Weakened vitality or vigor in either
plants or animals opens the way to hun
dreds of parasites which are resisted by
the healthy Individual, and the farmer
should keep his animals in a condition
which will enable them to ward off the at
tacks of such enemies. He has only to
think of his own comforts, such as nu-
tritious food and warm clothing, and
consider how the reverse of these condi-
tons would affect him, to understand how
it is with his animals.
1t is unnecessary to 60 into details in re-
gard to the building of sheds, stables, or
other kinds of structures for sheltering
stock in winter, as every man knows best
what materials are at hand or within reach
suitable for such purposes, but the fact
should be apparent to all breeders of ami
mails that in all cool climates some kind
Of protection is required. Out on the
plains and prairies of the West and South
west it is often asserted that sheep need
no protection in winter, and it is even
claimed by some that they do better with
out it than with it.; but the frequent
heavy losses by cold, starvation and dis.
eases plainly show that all this talk Of
.mildness of climate is an error. Sheep
fand othsr: farm stock may live through
the winter without artificial shelter or
more food than can be obtained on the

their native land are as thick as leaves in
Valombrosa. This particular princess,
who had cut some caper or other, result
ing in policeman's order for her to
move on, came to this country. She here
fell in love with a thoroughbred scala
wag and married him. He was an expe-
ditious young man, and he went through
her money and diamonds like beans
through tin horn. As the diamonds
melted away, they came down in life by
going up to the ncighborhood of the attic.
At last, one morning after breakfast, out
of the melting of the last earring, the
young man arose, embraced his wife, shed
one tear on her throbbing bosom, and
bolted. He went off with another name,
and took to keeping school at $40
month. The princess took an engage
ment as chambermaid in a private family
at four dollars week, and no half bene-
tit. Eighteen months rolled around, at
the end OF which time she freed her man
the vagrant husband. She went into
court and demanded a share of the peda-
gogue's salary. The scalawag pulled out
a decree of divorce, obtained somewhere
in the West. But the employer
Of the princess was a prominent
lawyer, and, badgered by his scrv-
ant, took up her cause. The decree
was right, but had one fatal defect. Such
a document is taken in evidence in the
New York courts, provided it has the
signature of the clerk of the court, seal,
ETC., also that of the judge, with the addi-
tional requirement that the judge must
certify that it is the clerk in question, and
the clerk must swear to the judge, which
is funny, and with all due respect to
courts, l should say, highly preposter-
Gus. In this document the clerk had
failed to certify to the identity of the
court, and the Justice here threw out the
evidence and assigned to Nine. Princess

Carbon Is mostly drawn from the air
small part is obtained from the soil. The
quantity required for the vegetation on the
surface Of the globe is immense, for it
constitutes one-half of the weight of all
vegetation. The proportion of carbonic
acid in the air is about one twenty five
hundredth part of the whole.
Good luck is a poor dependence; it
seldom makes men rich, and when it does,
ten to one it spoils them. Never spend
any time looking for it, OF waiting for it,
nor waste your breath in wishing for it to
come to you. Success in life comes from
energy, a strong faith in yourself, skill and
knowledge in the use of the means at hand
and in never getting disheartened or dis
couraged.
-One very common habit or practice
we observe, both in the city and in the
country, among the rural population, is
that OF yelling sharply at horses before
cart, wagon, omnibus or buggy, with that
of suddenly and violently Jerking the
reins, experimenting it with sharp shrieks
of the voice, provided they make an un-
toward movements habit we deem no
less reprehensible than dctestable, and one
that should be at once corrected and
abandoned forever. Gentleness and kind
ness will be found not only the wiser and
better, but the more humane and effective
course in accomplishing the end desired.
Boston Cutiuator.
Years ago the ailment called "hollow
horn," or thorn distemper, was very
common, and in many yards COWS might
be seen with horns bored on the under
side, and into this hole, and on the top of
the head, the remedies were applied. A
syringe or wooden squirt gun was used to
inject into the horn soap suds, pepper tea,
brine, etc. 1t is now known by most
farmers that there is no such disease as
horn all, or hollow horn, but that when
the horns are cold that state of things in
dictates the presence of disease elsewhere,
and feeble circulation. The horns, be-
ing extremities, are cold, and the circu-
lation needs to be cquallzed. 1t IS now
known to be dangerous experiment to
treat animals after the manner they were
used to be trcated.-Detroit Tribune.
