Agricultural Economies.

The profit of the future is to come
AS the county grows older, land
dearer and Immigration heavier, COM
petition wakes fiercer in all agricult-
ural production. A ruinOus share OF
the hay is lost first in cutting when
ripened to w0odiness or dried to hard
ened stems then In giving it out to
sustain life and animal heat rather
than for fat and flesh. Corn is also
thrown away by insufficient or inju-
dicious feeding. There is enormous
loss in keeping poor COW that yields
800 gallons of milk per annum in
stead of one that produces 900 at
about the same cost. One may bring
the owner in debt while the other .af-
fords handsome profit on expense of
keep. A cow that gives milk only
from April to November and runs dry
when forage is costly, and milk is
dear, should have few months extra
feeding and go to the butcher as soon
as possible. That cow is dry for
more than six weeks is the fault of
the owner in not procuring "the sur
viyal of the fittest," and again per-
haps in not supplying ample and
Succulent food at all seasons, while
the milk habit of the young COW is
forming. The loss in milk and meat
by irregular feeding and change
from fresh pastures to straw stack
and coarse hay during an inclement
season, is an irreDarable waste which
is projected into the succeeding sum-
mer without regard to the abundance
of its pasturage.
The losses from negligence or want
of skill, in the preparation for mar
ket, the Manipulation or manufacture
from raw material is enormous. Milk
of the same quality, Of the same cost,
makes butter at fifteen cents and at
half dollar per pound. Mixed fruit
sells in market at half the value of
assorted samples neatly put up. The
pig products of famous Massachu-
sets farm are disposed of in New
York city at twenty-three cents per
pound. while similar goods from the
average farm command but fifteen
cents. Skill. taste, neatness and a
well earned reputation for reliable
excellence get the highest rewards
give better dividends than the capital
and labor represented in the product
on which they are expended. There
is solid money in these untangable
yaluables. But the wastes that may
be avoided are numerous in every de-
partment ofagriculturaI practice, and
cannot be limited at in a paragraph.
They are illustrated in the differing
costs and selling prices of adjoining
farms in every neighborhood of the
land.-N. Y. Tribune.

The Presidential Rill.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Representa-
tive McCoid's bill providing for the
election of President and Vice-Presi
dent for the unexpired term in case of
the removal, death, resignation or in
ability both of the President and Vice.
President, and for declaring what of
ficer shall act as President ad interim,
recently introduced in the House, is
drawn under Constitutional provisions,
and meets every question as to the
Presidential succession which Is likely
to arise, except one. viz, the question
how and by whom Presidential dis
ability shall be determined. This
question, it is thought, ought, if any
legislation is necessary in regard to it,
be made the subject of another bill.
Representative McCoid's bill con-
tinues the Electoral College for the
Presidential term, and gives them
power to fill vacancies. In case of the
death of both President and Vice
President, it provides that the Secre-
tary of the State shall temporarily
perform ministerial duties as acting
President, and in the meantime shall
issue proclamation calling together
the Electoral College. The college
shall at once elect a President and
Vice President for the unexpired term.
The votes for these offices shall be
counted, if Congress is in session when
the election takes place, on the eight
Tuesday after the meeting of Electors;
and, if Congress is not in session, then
on the second Tuesday after the meet
ing of the session. This will allow
eight weeks for the returns to be sent
to the President pro tenn. ofthe Senate,
which is the same time now allowed
by the Constitution. A President and
Vice-President could, under this bill,
be so elected and enter upon their
duties within three months after the
vacancies occur.

An Old Miser.

=, Sarah Burr, a spinster lady Of New
York, had it very bad. At the time
she quit this world her property was
worth 100000, all of which she has
left to churches, probably believing that
it was necessary to do this in order to
obtain rest for her soul. A large num-
Der of relatives are left penniless. For
four years previous to her passing away
she lived principally in the kitchen,
kept no fire in the parlor and occupied
chair that once had cane seat but
when the cane was worn out had board
nailed across it. In the room where
she lived there were no shades to the
windows and but little or no comforts.
She had some silver-plated ware but
refused to have it cleaned least the plat
ing would be worn off. Her principal
dress was an old cotton gown which she
wore almost constantly for year be-
fore her death. Once in while she
would indulge in jewelry which she
bought of pedlers paying as high as ten
cents for pair OF earrings. She went
to bed at o'clock in the afternoon to
save lights, and never allowed any per-
son connected With the household to use
lamps or candles. In her living she
reminds us of the person mentioned IN
the parable, who but his talent away in
a napkin where it was of no use until
1 il was taken away from him and given
to some one who but it into circulation.
If such characters as Miss Burr are
popular in Heaven it must be very
narrow minded, misery place.

Care Of the Eyes.

At the recent Sanitary Convention
at Ann Arbtr Mich. DR.. O. j. Lunday,
of Detroit, read a paper on Hygiene
in Relation to the Eye" which should
have the widest circulation, especially
among teachers and school officers. A
fruitful source of eye troubles is shown
the be the excessive strain upon the
muscles and nerves. of the eyes due to
faulty educational methods, the ill
planned and insufficient Tightening OF
school rooms, poor ink and fine print
in school books, and other causes, which
education might correct.
In conclusion DR.. Lundy lays down
the following rules for the better care
of the eyes:
l. Avoid reading and studying by
poor light.
2. Light should come from the side,
and not from the front or from the
back.
3. Do not read or study while suffer
ing great bodily fatigue or during re.
covery from fatigue.
4. Do not read while lying down.
5. Do not use the eyes too long at q
time for near work, but give them oc-
casional periods Of rest.
6. Reading and study should be done
Systematically.
Z. During study avoid a STOPPING po'
sition, or whatever tends to produce
congestion of the head and face.
s. Select well printed books.
@ Correct errors of Refraction with
proper glasses. 80.
10. Avoid bad hygienic conditions
and the nse of alcohol and tobacco.
IL. Take sufficient exercise in the
open air. -,
u. Let the physical keep pace witt
the mental culture for asthenopia Il
most usually observed in those who ar,
lacking in physical development.-Sci

Killed by a SkyrOcket.

At 10 o'clock last night Frederick
Schriver was killed at Federal Hill
park during the pyrotechnic display.
he went with three friends to view the
exhibition and was seated on the north
ern slope, near Henry street; when
piece exploded in the air that excited
his admiration and he exclaimed:
Don't that look pretty?" he then fell
back on the grass, and as he made no
further movement one Of his conpan-
ions, becoming alarmed, shook him and
requested him TO sit up. As he did not
speak it was discovered that he was
unable to move, and Officer Hardesty,
who was standing near, was summoned,
as was also a physician from among the
spectators, who pronounced the young
man TO be dying. The words we're
hsrdly spoken when he ceased TO
breathe. The young man MAS struck
presumably by the falling stick from

ploding bomb. but no blood followed,
and he uttered no sound when struck.
