AN APPEAL.

There has been much said upon this
subject, but We should never tire in well
doing, and whatever is in our power to
do toward saving the inebriate, should
we not do it? Young woman, you can
do much ? When you know positively
that any young man of your aoquaint-
ance INDUCES in drinking intoxicating
liquor, chewing or smoking tobacco US
ing profane language, talk to him about
it. Try to impress on his mind what a
disgrace it is to himself and every one
related to him. Picture to him the
home of the Incorporate husband, where
the faithful wife tolls to supply the fam
lily with just enough to keep starvation
from the door. Tell him of the mother
whose tender care nursed him through
infancy, whose eye was ever on him
through childhood, watching lest some
thing might befall him; who looked for
ward to the time when he should be a
comfort and support to her. Now what
| has she in return for all these sleepless
nights, those anxious hours, watching
over your sick bed, praying that God
would spare you? All she has is brok-
en- heart. One more word, young wo-
man. When your intended husband
goes ''of on spree" as he calls it, and
is not presentable for several days after,
talk to him; say everything in your
power to persuade him never to do SO
again, and furthermore tell him if it does
occur again, that the engagement is
broken In nine cases out of ten it will
never happen, but if it should, keep
your word. Show him you do not coun-
tenance such conduct. 1t has ueen tru-
ly said, There are not one-half as
many virtuous young men as there are
young women" and l am sorry for it.
Better be ''dried up old maid" than
the wife of man who cannot control
his appetite for liquor.

DUsT FOR LICE ON CATTLE A writer
In Farmers AdUOcate says: "Some ten
or twelve years ago an agricultural writ
er observed his bull to be free from lice,
but not so the rest of his cattle and
thinking over the matter he came to the
conclusion that the habit of paving dirt
over himself must have the effect of
keeping lice off the bull, and he tried
earth on the rest of the cattle with the
best effect. Ever since reading the
above l have used nothing but dry earth.
and have found it perfectly efficacious,
both as preventive and as a cure. If
in winter | find it needed and cannot
get it otherwise, | 60 into my cellar and
get a few quarts (no danger of getting
too much) and dry it on the stove
then sprinkle it over the back from head
to tail, and the earth, working in and
through the hair, soon destroys all lice.
l believe the earth to be just as efica-
cious, less dangerous and less expensive
than tobacco or any of the acids recon.

MORE EGGS.

The great reason why we have no
more eggs in the winter is that the hens
have not comfortable quarters nor req
uisite food. The hen is a tender ami
NAL. She is an exotic in this cold eli
mate, and wants warm bedroom and a
comfortable nursery. If We compel her
to sleep on fence or on tree, and to
lay her eggs where the snow can sift
upon them and the frost will crack them
she will lay very few. Under such cir
cumstances she has little energy in this
direction and knows too much to waste
what little she has. Comfort is the con-
comitant of egg production. and food
the great forerunner. In summer hens.
if allowed the free run of the farm, can
scratch for living and pick up seeds,
grubs, and perfect insects enough to
supply all demands for the raw material
from which eggs are manufactured. In
winter this supply fails, and the eggs Of
course fail. An egg is essentially ami
NAL food in fact, it contains the ele.
ments of a perfect animal, the chick
Hence it requires for its manufacture in
winter some substitute for the insects
which the hens eat in summer. Com.
Portable quarters and a mixed ANNA
and vegetable diet are, therefore, the
great secrets of egg production in win
ter. The animal food is best furnished
in the form of animal meal. This il
made at our large abbattoirs in great
quantities by steaming the bones ant
refuse parts of the animal, and then dry
ing and grinding them. This mea
costs but little more than corn meal
and quart of it mixed with three o
four quarts of corn meal and wheat bral
will furnish hens just the raw materia
for making eggs. We have tried it am
know. Some recommend adding to thi
a little red pepper. And this is goo
stimulant, but we have not found it nee
essary.-Journot of agriculture.

POTATOES IN VERMONT.

The Early Vermont.-The Early
Vermont potato was originated by a gen.
tleman in West Rutland, (his name l
have forgotten,) and was introduced to
the public in 1873 by B. X. Bliss &
Sons. 1t is related to the Early Rose
and resembles that variety very much.
The Early Vermont grows larger. and
of the two is the most profitable to raise.
It's superior cooking and eating qualities
are unanimously commended as we'll as
its compact growth in the hill and It's
freedom from disease. For Vermont
this variety and the Snowflake are the
finest and most profitable early potatoes
for our farmers to raise, and the Peer
less and Trophy for late.
The Snoactsake.-Too much cannot
be said of this popular variety, which
was originated by G. g. Pringle, Char
lotte. This was also sent out by B. K.
Bliss & Sons in 1873. 1t is now the
most popular variety in this country and
Europe, and has received more and high
er praise than has probably ever been
bestowed upon any potato. Its quality,
shape, size, color and yield are all that
can be desired, and it is difficult to per-
ceive in what direction farther improve
ments can be obtained.
The Trophy.-This is medium late
variety, and was originated by 0. H
Alexander, Charlotte. 1t was sent Out
by B. X. Bliss & Son, in 1876 1t is a
Seeding of the Ruby, impregnated with
the Excelsior, and is a decided improve
ment on both these varieties. 1t resem.
bles the Snowflake in many respects
skin reddish, slightly russeted; flesh
fine grained, white and of excellent
quality, either baked or boiled. Thi
variety was exhibited in London at tn,
great international potato show in Octo
Der, 1877, and received frst-class Ger
tifcate.
The Dunmore and Burbank Seed
hngs.-These are very good late varie
ties. I should choose the Dunmore 70
all varieties of soil. The Burbank doe
nicely on sandy loan.
Improved PsachbloaO.-This is anothe
one of Bliss & Sons very fine varieties
1t is cross between the Jersey Peact
blow and Excelsior, and was originate
by Mr.. Ryand of Shelburn, Vt. Will
in quality it fully equals that old star
dard market sort, in productiveness
far excels it, yielding nearly double 8
much per acre. Those who like tt
Peachblow should plant this variety b
all means, as the old Peachblow is ia
running out. Taking it in all Il
points, this new sort may be considere

with the additional advantages of earl

give the state to tho republicans by from $500
to $500. The sole interest centres on gov.

precincts heard from are from the
rural districts, tho large towns aud
cities being very slow on the count In the
country tho republicans did not expect to
gain, but In the cities they expected much,
and the probabilities are their expectations
will be realized Everything points to the
