The Octopus.

An interesting account of the octopus
or devil-ish, has been given by Profes.
sor HOLMAN, of Munich, who has been
studying the animals habits at the Ma.
pies Aquarium, where there are several
specimens in the tanks. One of them
was placed in the same compartment
with . large lobster which had recently
killed turtle two feet long by crushing
its skull. A fierce combat ensued and
the octopus wrenched . claw away from
the lobster, who was thereupon placed
in an adjoining tank. The octopus then
climed out of the water over the parti.
ton, and was only discovered with the
slain lobster in his clutches, literally
torn in two. Professor HOLMAN thinks
this pursuit is proof of intelligence; and
he shows not only that these wonderful
creatures can swim backward and for
ward, jump four feet out of water, use
their arms separately and in different
directions at the same time, and change
their colors through nearly ali the shades
Of the rainbow, but also that they are
capable of recognizing their keepers At
the aquarium, and that they actually
manifest attachment for thess men.

Cooking Neat by Cid.

Those who have handled piece of
CONCEALED mercury, which freezes at
a temperature of forty degrees below zero
will know that the sensation is similar to
that produced by holding coal of fire
in the hand. In other words, intense
heat and intense cold bear a strikin e
resemblance to each other in their
effects. A Hungarian chemist, whose
speciality consists of finding out the
best methods of preserving meats has
made practical use of this analogy in
the action of heat and cold, and partially
cooks his meats by subjecting them TO
the action of intense cold. Strange to
say, the meat subjected to this low tenn
perature is reduced to q condition SINH
lar to that produced by heat. The ma
terial must be perfectly fresh, and after
being exposed to q temperature of thirty
three degrees below zero. must be care
fully sealed in tins. 1t is found when
opened to preserve remarkable fresh
ness, and to be in a more satisfactory
condition for use than has hitherto been
attained by any other method for the
same purpose.

A Suggestion.

1 have been thinking for some time
that we, as farmers, might make it inter-
esting and instructive, if each would
bring to the grange samples of his farm
products-fruits, vegetables, grain, etc..
and the ladies bring samples of their
work, such as bread, butter, jellies, pre-
serves and other things. Let US COM
pare the work of our hands. The grange
is a school of instruction. and should be
so regarded and used. ia, B or c ex-
GELS US in raising anything, he is the
man we want tu hear from. If his ap-
Piles, or potatoes, or grains are finer in
appearance and quality than ours, we
want to know how he made them So
how he cultivates TO secure his fine grain
or potatoes, how he plants, prunes, gath.
ers and keeps. We do not realize how
much good may be done in this way.
We must get over this selfshness. stand
shoulder to shoulder, and let all the
light we have shine. If we can instruct
we should do so, if we cannot, we should
be willing to receive instruction. We
are here to learn, and should neglect no
opportunity that offers. think this
would be a good plan to bring out all
the members, say once month or every
two months. Let every one bring sam
pies of what he or she may have, and
compare them with others.-L. A. g. in

Prevention and Care Of Colds.

This is the season of the year for catch.
ing severe colds, and great care should
be taken in dressing warmly. The damp
chilly morning and evenings are harsher
upon good health than the severe cold of
mid-winter, and doubly so because of the
general tcarelessness of the people As to
their covering. A great many get along
with as little bed clothing At this season
as in summer because it is not time yet
to prepare for winter; but there is great
danger in this because the inactive body
during sleep is in no condition to ward
off cold, and easily becomes the subject
of disease. But the most common way
of taking colds this season is by sitting
in rooms unwarmed. Either the stoves
have been removed for the summer and
not returned, or no fire has yet been
built En the CRATE because it seems so
early to have fires. Nothing is more
sure to result in colds than this careless
ness. People sit and talk and laugh
their feet become chilled their hands
are rubbed together for warmth; the
handkerchief comes oftener into requisi-
ton; the head fills up and in a few hours
results in terrible cold. There is no
sense nor economy in saving the little
coal or wood necessary to warmth in these
autumn days. But as people will thus
affiict themselves and become victims of
their own thoughtlessness, we'll known
physician gives plan of doctoring a cold
which is claimed to be sovereign:
As soon as the indications show them
selves, decide at once that you are bound
to overcome the difficulty, and let no
business or pleasure undermine your
resolution. Heat yourself up as thor
oughly as possible. Soak the feet in
warm water and rub them until there is
a glow of circulation, 60 to bed, cover
up snugly. eat nothing whatever, but
drink all the cold water you desire. In
"a hours, if this treatment is followed in
season, the cold will be mastered, when,
if allowed to run, two weeks would be
the least time in which to get rid of it.
The old plan of feeding a cold and
starving fever" is false, and should be
forgotten at once. The writer can COM
mend the above measures unqualifiedly.

Price Of Cows for Forty Years.

William Sheldon, of Upper Providence
we'll known as one of the most extensive
dealers in Montgomery county, Pa, has
furnished the Media Democrat some val
liable information on the subject of the
price Of cows for the last forty years.
Mr.. Sheldon is a careful, methodical
man, and his statement may therefore be
relied on. He says that previous to 1885
and during that year good cows could be
bought from $40 to s24. From 1885 to
1886 the average price was $50. During
the year 1887 and 1888, $2S. In 1889
the average was $50 per head; in 1910,
average 500. With dull trade in 1S41
the average price went down to $40, at
which price the market stood the two
following years of 1S41 and 1912. In 1843
there was a slight rise, the average going
up to s22 in the next year there was
rise of about 81, the price being 1923 per
head in 1916, $24 per head in 1918
$22 to s25; in 1s49. 1850, 1851 and 1852
the market averaged $26; in 1853 the
average was the same, but the market
not SO strong in 1854 the average was
$2S; the highest price was $40 and the
lowest $22 and $2S. In 1866 the av-
erage was $50. In the spring of 1857
the market was excitable, and the av.
erage for the year reached $34, but pri-
ces went down very low at the end of the
season. In 1859 the market was low
and hard, averaging $29. In 1901 good
lots brought $45 per head. During the
next three years good prices were OBJ
tanned, the average being about $65 per
head; some good lots averaged over 500.
Since then the markets have been high
and drovers have done we'll. Just now
there is downward tendency, and the
prospect is that prices will continue to
decline for some time. Mr.. Sheldon
says that the best COW he ever sold was
from the mountains, and she made Is
pounds of butter per week. She was a
muley of the common stock.

Any time when convenient or il . lit.
tie inconvenient IL good time to haul
out manure. Not that sometimes arc
not better than Others, but any time ID
better than not to haul it At all. Long
manure, or manure that is not rotted II
all, should be hauled out sitter the heat
of summer is passed unless Is it is spread
it is plowed under. If later in the season
it should be thrown between the rows of
ground upon which corn has been in
cultivation by using turning plow and
throwing furrow on the manure it will
be found that this will absorb and retain
nearly all of the benefits of the manure
and the following and many succeeding
crops will be ample proof Of the great
advantages and time pro6tably spent in
cleaning stables and lots. Ifthe manure
is rotted it makes nice top dressing for
wheat in the fall of the year or for any
crop. or kind of pasture in the spring.
All of our used or unused ashes Are worth
many times the labor of hauling them
out upon our orchards or gardens, and
while we would prefer them upon these
they answer good purpose elsewhere
upon the farm. Our western soil is yet
comparatively new and rich, yet we know
many. farms that are richer by far than
they were in their primitive state, and
we know many others that will not pro-
duce one-half as much grain or grass as
they would when first settled. The
proper use of the manure made upon the
farm is the difference.
The time is approaching when this
question will be considered of more i'm
portance than at present, in the mean
lime those who are outstanding their ma
nure are making money and those who
Ire not are losing money and are saying
farming does not pay"

years; have suffered great pain in my back, hips
and side, with great difficulty in passing urine
which was often, and in very small quantities,
frequently accompanied with blood and excruti-
sting pain.
l have faithfully tried most of the popular renl-
edies recommended for my complaint; l have
been under the treatment of some Of the most
nOunced my case incursble. This was my con-
dition when was advised by friend to try the
VEGETlNE, and could see the good effects from
the first dose 1 took, and from that moment
kept on improving until was entirely cured,
taking In all, I should think, about six bottles.
It is indeed valuable medicine and II 1 should
be afflicted again in the same way, would give
