A. P. Burbank is certainly one of the ',v5-

of roast beef, hanked by bread and "taters"would
have improved the programme immensely.

slang has lost its SAVIOR and become literally
slang. The audience, though by no means
large, was an Improvement over those of preyi-

There was a neat runaway on the c.. B. {; @.
railroad on Thursday evening between Ottawa
and South Ottawa is quite a heavy grade, and
the side track across the bridge stands Just at
the head Of it. On this track stood three cars
loaded with bridge tmbers. In some way their
brake became loosened, letting the cars start
down the grade. Two Of them were stopped
but the third car came buzzng across the bridge
at the rate Of 20 miles an hour, nor was it stop
ped until it reached the up grade near the glass
factory bridge

Hens IIaSe to Lay all Winter.

\ writer in the London Gardeners
Chronicle, some time since, gave the fol-
lowing directions how to make hens lay
all winter, and the suggestion seems
worthy of reproducing;
keep no roosters give the hens fresh
meat chopped up like mince meat once n
day, a very small portion, say one haitian
ounce a day to each hen, during the win
ter. or from the time insects disappear in
the fall till they appear again IN the
spring. Never allow any eggs to remain
in the nest for what are called nest eggs.
When the ROSTERS do not run with the
hens, aud no nest eggs are left in the nest,
the hens will not cease laying after the
production of twelve or fifteen eggs-as
they always do when ROSTERS and nest
eggs are allowed-but continue laying
pcrpetually. My hens lay all winter, aud
each from seventy to one hundred eggs IN
succession. The only reason why hens do
not lay in winter as freely as in summer,
is the want Of animal food, which they get
in the summer in abundance in the form
of insects"
Another necessary condition to make
hens lay Is that they shall be kept in a
warm place where the sun will shine NEST
Of the day. With warm and sunny apart
menis, and regular diet Of wheat, oats,
corn, AMI meat and pounded raw bones,
there is very little difficulty IN making
the hens lay abundantly. The sources OF
supply Of flesh for fowls arc many and no
great expense need be incurred in supply
lug them all winter with plenty Of this
kind of food. An old horse, worthless
for all other purposes, slaughtered and eat
up will furnish abundance Of meat for a
large number Of hens for several weeks.
Sheep which are worth only what thcir
pelts viii bring, can be appropriated to
the same use.

Dccl lllLer Ice.

Ice has become so important in the
manufacture Of the best butter, and in the
preservation of fruits, vegetables and
meats in the sumner. that no farmer can
afford to be without it. With a good ice.
house, well filled, he can put his perisha-
bic products into the home market in first
rate condition, and sell on the top Of the
market. Much Of the material for tami-
ly consumption inevitably sPoils for want
OF ice. Fruits become stale, milk sourS,
meats are tainted, butter grows rancid,
and these losses united cost much more
than the labor of gathering aud storing
the Ice. Itnot mtrequcntly happens that
the first Of the season IS not only the best,
but the only opportunity for securing a
supply. December ice Is generally more
transparent and solid than that which
forms later with partially melted snow
upon the surface. The short crop Of last
season was owing mainly to the neglect of
the December harvest. Good Ice might
have been gathered then, but everybody
was waiting for thicker ice, which in many
places did not come at all. This was a
good thing for the icemen Of Maine, but
rather expensive for the multitudes fur
ther south, who usually depend upon the
home supply. Farmers. we are glad to
know, are getting more in the habit of
using ice, and fnd it 4 profitable crop to
gather. In the single item Of manulac-
turing and preserving butter, it would
save millions Of dollars to the country.
More than half the butter sent to the
large markets is Of the lower grades, and
has to be sold at discount OPS to 80 per
cent. With n better preservation of the
milk and cream, such as ice would fur
nish, and nicer methods of making and
storing, and sending TO market, this I'M
mense loss might be saved to the farmers

The history of the shCythorn COW, Duch-
oss Goth, which was sold in 1888, at Earl
Ducie's sale, in England, to Col. Morris,
Of Foriham, for 700 guineas, OF $500,
is remarkable as showing the actual value
Of one good breeding animal. From this
COW, which was calyei in November, 500,
there may be traced in descent NUM-
Der Of ANIMALS which have sold for about
100000. Let it bee admitted that as
much OF this value as may be depended
on fancy OF rich breeders, and Is not IN
,rinyic value Of the beef aud milk pro-
duceG Yet no one can help admitting
that an immense value, estimated in these
alone. has accrued TO the world from this
COW and in proportion to this value may
be estimated the profit 10 breeder from
any superior animal ha may produce. \
line o. breeding animals is brought into
existence which spreads out fan like, and
DIVORCES year by year wider and wider,
unit. We can 10 longer reach the bounds
Of the beneficial influence. Il Is in this
that lies the value Of any good animal,
and it IS an unfair Disagreement TO con-
fine It's value to the weight Of meat upon
its carcass, or is produce in milk and but
ter. The breeder who produces a superb
or animal sets in motion an impulse which
