The Choral Union.

The Choral Union sings for the last time
in its history this evening. 1t only gives
the concert tonight from sense of duty, as
it belongs to the course of last winter, and
is only intended to be patronized by those
who hold season tickets. This will account
for the failure of the union to advertise their
concert. In its prime the union embraced
some of the finest of our local musical talent
and it is a shame that it could not retain its
organization. Let us all hope that over the
ashes of the dead union may arise an organ
ization worthy of the reputation of Mime
apolis.

Keeping Stock Clean.

1t ought to be the duty of the
stockmen to see that all cattle that
are kept constantly tied up should
receive a thorough brushing daily.
Stock that are accustomed to have
their heads tied get very dirty
about the neck and shoulders unless
they receive careful grooming"
Cleanliness is very essential for
cattle always under cover, not only
because disease is thereby prevent
ed from making its inroads, but also
because stock thrive better, and
reach maturity a great deal quicker
when carefully tended, than when
they ale not Cattle kept IN nam
mels or loose boxes, do not, per
haps, require so much attention as
those whose heads are tied to the
stall, as they can with freedom lick
themselves, but they should not be
neglected on that account; and the
careful stock farmer will do well to
see that his stockman gives them
proper attention. 1t frequently hap
pens, however, that cattle do be-
come very dirty about the body
whether from neglect or q natural
predisposition to get dirty, it is un-
necessary to consider. In such
cases, a good remedy is to apply to
the affected parts a mixture of fish
oil and flour of sulphur, in the pro-
portion of four ounces of sulphur
to a quart Of oil This mixture
should be vigorously rubbed into
the boldly, and about three days af-
ter this has been done, the affected
parts must receive IA good washing
with soft soap ana warm water.
The oil and sulphur may be applied
once more in the same manner as
before, the mixture being made a
little stronger should there be no
observable improvement from the
first washing. This mixture ap-
piled twice generally suffices to eff
feet a complete cure of the ailment.

The story is told of woman who
freely used her tongue to the scan
dial Of others, and made confessions
to the priest of what she had done.
He gave her a ripe Jhistle-top, and
told her to go out in various direc
tions and scatter the seeds one by
one. Wondering at the pennance,
she obeyed, and then returned and
told her confession, To her amaze
ment he babe her go back and gath
err the scattered seeds; and when
she objected that it was impossible,
he replied that it would be still more
difficult to gather up and destroy
all evil reports which she had circu
lated about others. Any thought
less, careless child can scatter a
handful of thistle seeds before the
wind in moment, but the strong
est and wisest man cannot gather
them again.

will let the next week, and the last
opportunity for the season, pass
without taking this only step to-
wards repairing the waste that is
destroying the value of their farms
towards transforming these bar
rem and unsightly spots into green
and beautiful groves? The old
farmer who has failed to improve
his opportunities has much TO re-
greet. No future diligence can re-
store them; but will the young
farmer profit byShis ruinous expe
rience, or will his want of energy
blight a fair prospect? "a stitch
in time saves nine" So set out
trees how and restore your washed
and quilted spots. This may seem
a small matter 10 the young farmer,
but the golden opportunity, lost nOlO,
is lost for II long, precious months
how precious he will learn when
they are, perhaps, lost forever.
The habit of doing at once what
REQUIRES to be done is of vital im-
portance to the farmer, for the sea-
sons do not wait for him. His farm
will continue to 90 to waste, his
forests disappear, and his fences de-
cay, if he does not act promptly,
and the home, about which cluster
the fond memories OF his young
life, perhaps, will become repulsive
TO the eyes of his middle age.
