FARM AND GARDEN.

BEDDING FOR CATTLR.-There Is no
farm work considering the outlay, that
pays so large dividends as the procur-
Ing of some sort of bedding for the
cattle, for 1t not only keeps them clean
. "a great point In itself-but also pro-
notes their growth and thriftiness,
and the additional accumulation for
the manure pile will more than pay
for the labor. There Is usually large
amount of litter that goes to waste,
that II TIL us utilized would be of great
service. Straw, oats, cut corn butts.
elc., are valuable, and fine sand is not
Objectionable, for in itself it Is one Of
the most cleanly Of beds, and as 1t Is a
large absorber Of liquids, and is OF real
benefit to clay land, there Is no solid
reason why a few loads Of 1t may not
be judlciously used. A farmer Of our
acquaintance late In tho fall takes his
trucks, puts in long stakes, and makes
a four foot deep box and gathers for
est leaves. One man gathers them
with rake and basket, and another
treads thom into the basket. These
leaves are stored away In an unused
stable, and what can bo crowded into
u bush el basket make fine bed for d
stable Of COWS for couple Of nights,
and are fine ahsOrbents. There Is no
farmer but that can provide bedding
oi, some kind and also have dry, whole
some stables for his cattle, and, II he
cOnSults his interests, and once fully
tests the value Of plonty OF bedding ,he
will always in the future prac tice bed
ding his cattle and stock.

The obstinate sticking OF glass stop
pers In bottles is constant source of
trouble, not tc say of profanity, in the
laboratory, and many methods OF
loosening them have been suggested.
These are useful, though each Of them
falls in certain cases, and another has
to be tried. The following, given in
the English Mechanic, will be likely to
ans wer the purpose when the shape Of
the stopper and the neck of the bottle
admits of its use; "Take two pieces Of
wood, put them between tho neck Of
the bottle and the lower part OF the
stopper. Having fixed them securely
by piece of string, soak the whole
affair In water, say ten hours; If the
wood has not swelled enough, then
pour some hot water over the wood,
and as it sweels (Which 1t must) out

: A correspondent of the Boston Tran
script tells the following pretty story:
Eighty years ago there lived in the vii
lage Of Flatbush, which adjoins Brook
lyn, a young fellow who had just begun
life as a milkman. Early every morn
ing he carried his burden of milk to the
Brooklyn water side, rowed in his skif
across the East river, to the Fly Market
slip in New York, and went his rounds
among the citizens who dwelt around the
Battery.
Two years later he married girl oi
his own age They were then just nine
teen. He was rough sort of a fellow
and as years went on he was sometimes
given to drink, rs was net UNUSUAL in
those days; but for her he bad only
kindness and affection. So for seventy.
six years they lived together. Two
years ago the wife died, at the age Of
ninety-five. The husband was still
vigorous in body, but his mind had
weakened, and, when his companion lef'
him forever, he could not seem to
recognize the change. s
Ever since then he is continually ex.
pecting her to return from some neigh
boris house, or fancying she is by hi
side. When evening comes he calls t.
his daughter, woman far advanced il
years, and wants to know where mother
can be 50 late" Bring me the lantern,
