WATERLOO.

Some three miles west Of this village
undoubtedly lives one of the most patri
otic citizens of the Republic. Mr.. Burr
is the man we have reference to; and
his claim rests upon the fact that when
the news Of President Garfeld's relapse
was received in this village last Wednes-
dav, he stated that he would willingly
lay down his life could it be the means
of restoring the President to health.
Those who are best acquainted with Mr..
Burr know that he meant just what he
said.

CARE OF HORsEs.-All horses must not
be fed in the same proportions, without
regard of their work; the improperly OF
such practice is selfevident, vet it is con-
stantly done and is the basis Of disease Ct
every kind. Never use bad hay on ac-
count Of its cheapness, because there is
no proper nourishment in it, and dan-
aged corn is exceedingly injurious, be-
cause it brings on inflammation of the
bowels and skin diseases. Hay or grass
alone will not support horse under hard
work, because there is not sufficient nut
ritive body in either, but when Il horse
works hard he should befed literally with
grain It is claimed that oats are the
Best food for horses, but it is pretty well
demonstrated that corn is also good. It
has recently become pretty extensively
practiced in the West of feeding horses
ground feed, consisting Of about two bush
els of oats and one Of corn, and is believ-
ed that this is an economical plan, and
at the sames time horses at hard work
seem to thrive better when fed On either
oats or corn unground. There is good
deal of science that can be observed in ta-
king good care of horses.

VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS TO
WOOL GROWERS.

A feature Of the present clip ofthe Uni
ted States of vital Importance to shippers,
is the increased proportion Of undesirable
coarse wool and the decrease of the most
desirable and higher priced medium
This occurs in sections where medium has
heretofore been most grown, and is the
result of crossing the Canada and other
long, coarse wooled English breeds on
the coarse and low medium native stock.
The tendency of this coarse breed is to
stamp it's character upon the wool Of its
progeny, and so much Of it now produced
there is a surplus of the coarse grade
which is CroWding out the more desirable
and higher priced medium.
Wool growers can correct this by re-
crossing these coarse breeds with the
merino, and can thereby improve the
value Of their wool from five to ten cents
per pound
With the exception of a short time
during the war; the half breed merino or
medium wool has for many years past
sold for five to ten cents per pound more
than the coarse, and during the past ten
years has brought more than the fine
No. ] medium or half breed merino
wool has never been in over supply, and
to-day commands higher price, and is
most wanted of all qualities. It is also also
only the grade that is seldom if ever
menanced by foreign competition, while
the coarse English and Canada wools are
only now excluded by slender margin.
While the most desirable as well as
the undesirable qualities are bought for
about the same price from the grower, it
makes but little difference to him what
he raises, but il makes vast difference
to the purchaser whether he buys wool
worth in the Eastern market five or seven
cents per pound above cost landed here,
or that much less.

FRUIT STAINs.-In the season of fruits
the napkins used at table, and often the
handkerchiefs and other articles, will be-
come stained. Those who have access to
drug store can procure bottle OF ia
velle water. If the stains are wet with
this before they are put into the wash
the stains will be completely removed.
Those who cannot get Javelle water can
make solution Of chloride Of lime.
Four ounces of chloride OF lime is TO be
put into quart water, in a bottle, and
after thorough shaking allow the dregs to
settle. The clear liquid will remove the
stains as readily as Javelle water, but in
using this, one precaution must be OBJ
served. Be careful to thoroughly rinse
the article to which this solution has
been applied, in clear water before bring
ing it in contact with soap. When ia
velle water Is used this precaution is not
necessary; but with the chloride Of lime
liquid it is, or the articles will become
very hard and stiff

The coal famine in Milwaukee last
winter and the high prices paid for that
necessary article, have made the people
of that city somewhat anxious about the
future. The market price OF hard coal
there at present is $50 per ton delivered,
and the stock on hand is quite as large
as it ever was before at this season Of the
year, with over two months Of open nav
igation yet before winter sets in, in
which to increase the supply. This is
the season of the year when thrifty
housekeepers lay in years supply, and
they are usually enabled to do it at re-
that they refuse to purchase, and the
result is that the coal trade is not at all
lively. The consumers hold to the opin-
ion that the recent break in freights from
Buffalo ought to rebound in some way to
their benefit, and they buy as little as
possible, hoping that the price will fall.
There was break in prices in Milwau-
kee for few days, and about 100 tons
sold for SIS and $3.50 per ton, but that
was owing to a misunderstanding among
the dealers.
A little incident will illustrate how the
coal business is controlled by a monopo-
ly. A party of Milwaukee capitalists
raised 5000, 900, and sent an agent East
to purchase coal from first hands, intend.
ing to ship it themselves, and dis
tribute it to customers at a fair profit.
When the coal-deslers at the other end
of the line foundgout the nature of the
transaction and that the would-be pur-
chasers were not regular dealers, they
utterly refused to sell them coal for cash
at any price

THE HUMAN HEART.-An English
writer says: eve may form some con-
ception of the the enormous energy of the
human heart when we reflect that a good
climber can ascend only 5000 feet in
nine hours. that is, can raise his own
weight only 1000 feet in one hour, that
is, of course, continuously for any length
Of time, while the work done by the heart
is equivalent to raising its own weight
(ten ounces) 1860 feet high. And we
may put this even more strikingly by
pointing out that the most powerful en-
gine ever made by man, the Bavaria
locomotive Of the Vienna & Trieite Rail
way, can only raise itself through 2,700
feet in an hour; that is its energy is less
than one-ffth that of the human heart
of course the actual amount of work
done, both by engine and climber, is
much greater than that done by the
heart, but relative to weight the energy
OF the heart far exceeds that of the other
two

beneftting the entire country, and that
