VARIATIONS IN LOUISVILLE AND

The raid on Louisville and Nash
Vile railway stock which created a
lively furry and general depression on
the New York stock market last Sat
urday appears to have subsided, with
out serious harm to any, save perhaps
4 few stockholders, The value of the
L. An. stock has rallied since Satur-
day from the low figure of 1.15, which
it touched that day to l.42f, having
been up to lao yesterday. The highest
figure it has yet reached, was on the
Cd instant. when it stood at 1649.
Last year, during the general depres-
ion of the early months, it was down
to 80, but when the business boom set
in it commenced going up, and before
the close of the year reached 09@.

Winter Care of Stock.

The time of the year has now come
for every farmer to take into full con-
sideration the advantages of providing
good suitable shelter for all the live
stock he may have about him to be cared
for during the coming winter. 1t is a
difficult matter to calculate Just the
amount of loss that may be suffered in
keeping given number of either cattle,
hogs or sheep through winter season
in our climate without proper shelter, as
much will depend on the kind of wealth.
er we may have during the winter, but
there is no doubt but that there is more
or less in all cases of the kind. Alter
nate freezing and thawing, with q mix
ture of rain, sleet and snow, makes the
worst kind of weather for live stock to
suffer exposure in, and there is hardly
any kind of stock can be expected to
hold its own in weight and condition
with all the feed that may be given,
where it is fully exposed to such weather
as we have described. 1t is not a very
costly matter to provide shelter for all
the stock that is usually kept on mod
crate sized farm, and we are satisfied
that there is no investment farmer
could make that would pay better
profit in the way of saving than TO see
to it that all the stock of every kind that
he may have about him shall have
good, comfortable shelter from all win
ter storms. Common humanity re-
quires it, and his own pecuniary interest
demands ii.

Stone Shower in Georgia.

Last Satur day week ago, while Mr..
Isaac Reed and his four children were
picking cotton upon a portion of land
belonging to Mr.. Newton Gates, in this
county, rocks began to fall about, when
Mr.. Reed, in anger, grasped up stone
and exclaimed Whoever you are, if
you don't stop. you'll get this!'' hold
ing up the stone in his hand. But the
rocks kept on falling so fast that all be-
gan to wonder who could be throwing
them. when it was noticed that they
were rising off the ground about them
and falling back! So strange a sight
caused them to leave the field and go to
the house near by, when the stone-fall-
ing commenced there. Some of the
near neighbors were sent for, among
them Mr.. N. Gates and Mr.. j. Bazel Ga
sister of whom is Mr.. Reeds wife), and
all saw the rocks falling some of which
were hot and all testify to the same
facts-for facts they are--but as to the
cause none of shem pretend to know.
Now, some will be so incredulous as ut
terly to deny this, and cry out,
"pshawr' and "superstition;'' yet, in
spite of all, these are well-established
facts, as human testimony can establish
Better accept of them as facts and go to
investigating for the cause. On Mon
day week the same manifestations were
repeated at the same place and one OF
the stones struck a little boy on the
foot and another stone struck Mr.. Baze
on the shoulder. By the way this is MOI

Cold Bath In winter. ss


The season OF, the year when many
people who have experienced pleasure
and advantage from d daily cold bath
have to discontinue the practice Is como.
Months will elapse before the return OF
genial weather will allow of their indul-
gence in what may bc termed mans
natural stimulant. Amongst the young
and robust there are large number
who are able to bathe even in the depths
of winter; the advantage of so doing is,
however, questionable. But let It be
once we'll understood what cold bath
really is and the course by which they
can avoid Scylla and Charybdis will be
obvious. A cold bath is not necessarily
bath in water OF the temperature of
the atmosphere. A bath is truly and
really cold when it produces n certain
physiological effect--a slight momen-
tary shock followed by pleasant and
lasting reaction. These effects are for
the majority of people most pleasantly
obtained by bathing in water about
thirty-fve to forty degrees below the
temperature of the body-the usual
temperature of unheatcd water in June
and July. Bearing this in mind, pec-
pie can enjoy their physiological "cold"
bath as safely and pleasantly at Christ
mas as at midsummer, and there is no
necessity for the most timid or weakly
to discontinue his morning bath be-
cause the summer weather is over.
When the water sinks below tempera-
turc of sixty degrees, let it be heated to
that point and then used, and there will
still be "cold' bath, though Of heated
water. The daily stimulant effect of
such bath is so beneficial to the great
majority of persons, and is of such
marked service in maintaining health
that it is important to have it widely
known that cold bath may be taken
all the year round, provided cold is not
mistaken to mean " at the temperature
of the outer air." To heat the bath
during the winter months is too often
thought to be unmanly, while in reality
it is truly scientific, and to bathe in un-
heated water ali the year round, what.
ever the temperature of that water may
be, is to prove ones self an ignorant
slave of outward circumstances s,--Lon.

How to Plow.

In his address on plowing before the
State Board of Agriculture of Connecti-
cut, Prof. Stockbridge said: "There
are two kinds OF soil on every mans
farm--the agricultural soil and the SUBJ
soil. The agricultural soil may be two
inches deep OF it may be nine, but it is
not twenty feet. 1t is no deeper than
tho air can penetrate. Ifthe agricul-
tural soil Is too shallow 1t may be grad
ually deepened by lifting an inch Of the
subsoilat each plowing, bringing it up
to the air and enriching 1t with manure.
Our agricultural committees, by their
premiums for smooth, shiny, flat fur
rows have done the community great
harm. Such as take the premiums are
the very poorest kind Of plowing. The
soil is best plowed when It is most thor
oughly crushed, twisted and broken
with the sod we'll covered. On some
kind OF lands / would have furrows
Tapped an inch, as the Canadian farm
ers plow. Let the air and water have a
chance to circulate underneath the sur
face. Light lands, however, should
