three were shot, they pulled the other
one off, he not being able to hold them

move without the other, and had been
born that way and were full grown.

years ago, they are ready to strike out new

two ways; either by piling it and rottiug it
IN the heap, or by using only short litter

the litter with fodder cutter, SO that it
will not only absorb more of the liuuid
manure, but that it can be easily spread
when fresh. The ordinary harrow will
then mix the manure with the soil in the
most effective manner. With long manure

TIE CHEAPEST MEAT.-The cheapest
meat for the farmer is mutton. 1t NAV
safely be said to cost nothing, as the fleece
from sheep of good breed will amply
pay for its keeping. Then, for additional
profit, there are lamb or two, the pelt of
the animal if killed at home, the exoeIleot
manure from its droppings, and the rid
dance Of the pastures from weeds, to which
sheep are destructive foes. With the ex.
ception of poultry, mutton is also the most
convenient meat for the farmer. A sheen

Vicissitudes i'm the Life of I'm
Empress.

Paris Lotter.l
A newspaper article which refers to
the Tremendous vicissitudes' in the
life of the empress reminds me Of an
incident related to me by one of the
American gentlemen who assisted and
accompanied her and one of her ladies
in their escape from Paris to a small
French seaport, and from thence to
England. in 1870. At one Of the
towns on their way their horses
gave out, and they were obliged to
obtain Others or to take the rain at
all events, they were compelled
to wait for an hour or so, and
the ladies, fearing the curious OBJ
seFyQtion of the people at the inn or
station, resolved to spend the time in
walking about the town, There came
on a very heavy rain and they were
compelled to take shelter under a
porch, where my friend, having fin.
ished the arrangements for departure,
found them. The empress, who wore
over a plain black dress, a long
waterproof cloak, had the hood drawn
eyer her head. As she stood thus
simply clad under the dark, grimy
archway, the rain beating on her
pale, anxious face, my friend sud
denly remembered that just a year
ago that day he had seer her enter
ing the sqltap's magnificent barge
to go to witness the opening Of the
