The DificuIties OF Cremationists.

few wears ago the Babus of Cal
cutta, hearing about new cremation
apparatus invented in America, called
s.public meeting" where the members
expatiated on the virtues of the new
machine, and subscribed for it on the
spot. The order was sent, and in due
time came the much-coveted apparatus.
The Babus received it with due honors,
and placed it in one of the principal
burning ghauts. After all the prescribed
sa,sskars they brought the dead body to
the machine. But here, for the first
time, they became conscious of slight
difficulty-they did not know how to
use it! They consulted machinists and
sanitary doctors, who pronounced the
apparatus perfectly useless for the Gre
nation Of Hindu body with the cere-
monies enjoined by the Shastras. Great
was the disappointment of the reform
ers. But they called another meeting,
addressed each other in long -winded
orations, consulted the authorities, but
all to no effect, when, oh happy thought!
-ssBrothers, said one of the reform
ers, s'the best plan would be to burn
dead bodies near the machine when we
can not do so in the machinei" The
machine may be still found adorning
the ghaut, and round about it are dead
bodies burned in the orthodox fashion.
Thus are the gods of Babudom propiti-
sted, and thus the spirit of sanitary re-
form vindicated! !-PaI Mall Gazette.

Cost of Wintering Working Animals.

In the winter of 1881 I had under nv
charge (on the Niagara Grape Farm
two teams of horses and two yokes of
oxen. Having most of the forage to
buy, I tried to see how little they could
be kept upon in good, thriving condi-
ton. The teams were worked only
enough for proper exercise. / fed cut
rye straw morning and evening, and
uncut hay at noon, all of which was
weighed. One span of horses weighed
$500 pounds, each of which consumed
daily pounds of cut straw, 6 pounds of
hay, and pounds of grain, composed
Of equal quantities of ground rye, corn,
oats and wheat bran, by measure. One
team, weighing 1000 pounds, consumed
the same quantity Of straw and hay, but
one pound less each of grain. The oxen
weighed 5000 pounds per yoke, and
each OK consumed II pounds of cut
straw, 10 pounds of hay, and pounds
of ground feed, which in all cases was
mixed with the cut straw. When the
weather was cold, we used hot water
for mixing.
The cost of hay was s15 per ton, rye
straw $40, and the mixed feed 81 go per
100 pounds, making the cost of each
large horse Is cents per diem; for each
animal of the smaller team 16 IL cents !;
and for each OK 26 cents. I have been
in the practice FOR several wears of
weighing all the food consumed by nv
horses, at intervals, and | find it the
only way that | can approximate the
cost of keeping. l also find BY so doing
a great saving, both in forage and in
health of the stock. We are now keep
ing one road horse which weighs 1,15O
pounds; is worked hard, and frequently
driven very hard. His daily rations are
10 pounds of hay and II pounds of oats.
The hay cost Sl2 per ton; oats, So cents
per bushel; cost per diem, 26 1-2 cents.
L consider oats the most expensive grain
to feed, but for fast road work, it is per-
naps the best. For heavy, slow work,
l nave found rye, corn and oats the
best, which should be ground to give
the best results.
Winter with most farmers is a time OF
leisure, and a short time each day look
ing after the little leakages in and
around the barn will help wonderfully
in tiding over a long feeding time with
a comparatively short forage crop. The
masters presence, with an eye to his
interests, works wonders. The aues-
ton was asked of the writer, not long
since, how much hay would be required
to take certain stock through the
winter. My answer was that it will be
according to who feeds the stock. lam
satisfied tnat great majority of farm
ers feed double the hay which is re-
quired for the health of the horse, thus
wasting largely of the summers hard
labor. If what | have said shall induce
some one or more to try the experiment
and report, l shall feel that some good
may come out OF iL-Qor. C0untr1 Gen.

The Rebber and the Editor.

"Listen, my children" said a venera-
BILE man, sand l will tell you story,
beautiful and true. Once upon a time
there was bad, bold robber, who had
his haunt in the wilds of a mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, in the valley,
was village. 1t was not very large
village, yet in it a newspaper was
printed. The robber looked upon the
editor of the newspaper as beng the
chief man of the village, and thought he
must be very rich. So one dark night
he came down from his den in the
mountain and stole into the dwelling of
the editor and then into the room where
he slept. The editor, being good man,
slept as soundly and sweetly as a child
The robber searched all the place, but
could not find the caskets of gold and
diamonds he had supposed to be stored
up in the room. He then put his hands
in all the pockets of the clothes of
the editor, but found no money in any
of them. The robber then stood for a
time as in a stupor. He was like one
awakened from dream. He listened
for some moments to the deep, regular
breathing of the sleeping editor, and as
he stood so he began to feel sad. The
heart of the bold, bad man was
touched. Quietly he took from his purse
$40, placed the money in the panta-
stole from the house. In the morning,
when the editor got up and put on his
pantaloons there was jingle as of
money. A look of astonshment came
into the face of the editor. He put his
hand into his pocket and drew out the
money. When he saw this great wealth
saa the knees of the editor smote together
as = Del he turned pale, tainted, and fell to the
floor, and there lay as one who is dead. :"
''Oh! oh! grandfather, did they catch
the bad robber man and hang him on a
tree?"
''No, my dears, they did not catch the
bad, bold robber. He is still living.
From that day he reformed, and got a
place as cashier in big bank, where
you will be glad to hear that he is doing
well and is greatly respected by all in
his church,
Sand the poor editor man, grand
father! What became of him?n
"Ah, yes, my darlings! had almost
forgotten him. Well, when he came
out of his faint, and his eyes again saw
all the money lying about the room
where it had fallen, he was sorely per-
" plexed.s At last he felt sure it had been
quietly placed in his pocket in the night
by great and rich neighbor, who owned
lanyard and was running for the Leg
islature. So for days and days he printed
in his paper whole columns of praise of
the rich neighbor, who was elected to
the office, and ever after the two men
were the greatest friends. Thus, my
dears, do good actions always meet with
their reward. - PTrginia City Enter
