Preparing Stock for Winter.

The next few weeks is hazardous time for most kinds of domestic animals. They need to be watched very closely and not suffered to decliue in flesh. The Orange County Farmer says: If they are out to pasture and the failure of grass leaves them with insufficient nutri- ment to keep up their flesh, it should be promptly ascertained, and they should be given some kind of food to supply the deficiency. It is the poorest kind of economy imaginable to allow them to fall away just before going into winter quarters.
 When cold weather arrives they will need additional food to keep up the amount of flesh they then may carry, for larger portion of the food they digest is required to keep up the animal tenn perature to supply the necessary fuel. It would require an extra large supply to restore lost flesh in addition. It may be question in which way this extra food may be best supplied. Perhaps with some it may take the form of small ra- tions of grain-oats, corn meal, or mill feed. Some farmers raise good many pumpkins, and daily feed of these to the neat stock may be the best way of meeting the crisis. But probably the better way is to give horses, cattle and sheep feed once 8 day of good hay. It should be the best, for stock will not take hold of poor hay with avidity so long as they can get bite of grass, but they will eat good hay at almost any sea- son of the year. If poor hay must be fed at all, save it until cold weather gives animals voracious appetite. Of all species of farm stock, sheep are the most likely to be neglected at this sea- son of the year. They are not, as Q general thing, brought up into the yard at night, as are the COWS, and there is danger of their losing flesh some time before it is discovered. They should be carefully watched and frequently handled, and the first indications of un- thriftiness should be promptly met. With sheep failure in feed is not only loss of flesh, but also loss of wool. An other thing should be remembered with sheep; between now and winter is the coupling season, and if the utmost pro- lifcacy of the ewes is desirable, and if the full potency of rams is to be main tained, there should be no stinting ill food. The wise farmer will bear all these things in mind, and give his atten- tion to his stock. k.-EUa,egelist.

A Typical Case.

A "FamiIy Doctor" in Cassell's Faani- @ M0gaziase writes:
 ''There is MT. Robinson's case. MT. Robinson, need hardly say, is in this instance mythical individual, but I don't think you will have far to go to find his counterpart ill real life. MT. Robinson is something in the city. He has to catch train every morning, and always does, though he sometimes misses his bath in order to do so. He hurrles through his breakfast-he never is much of 8 performer at this meal, and do not wonder at it. He enters the train somewhat heated, somewhat ex- cited, the heart beating faster than it ought. Toward noon he feels the edge of his appetite, and blunts it with bis cult and 8 glass of wine. He has snack for luncheon, probably sand. wich or two composed of cheap tough meat and new bread, and glass of wine. He could eat more heartily now, but he has no time, and besides he does not want to spoil his appetite for dinner. When he does get home for the meal of the day, perhaps his digestion needs Spur, and gets it; then follows dinner of many courses-soup, fish, entrees joints, etc. We'll, if MT. Robinson were @ savage, and only needed to eat once day, he would get on very we'll. But after such 8 meal is it any any won- der that he is fit for little or no exer- tion |? He has more 'spurs,' however, and probably knocks billiard balls about in smoke-filled hot room before retiring for the night. That he does not sleep the healthful happy sleep of the strictly temperate is not to be marveled at. Robinson's diet needs reform in many ways. 1.-The could begin by getting up 8 trifie earlier; if he always had plenty of time for the sponge bath, preceded by the warm soap -and-water wash; if he ate his breakfast more leisurely; if the toast were crisp, the bread not new, the tea good and we'll made, and the meat or eggs inviting and palatable; if he took no wine between meals; if he had a more serious luncheon and less serious dinner; if he studied not to eat dishes that were incompatible with each other; and, finally, if he reduced his diet in quantity quite one-half, then I assure
 you that MT. Robinson would be alto. gether different man in six weeks time. He would have harder muscles more wind, more endurance, and more health and happiness"

GENERAL SHERMAN'S LAST REPORT
The Indian Problem About SOlved-His Final Recommendations.

General Sherman in his last annual re- port says:
 invite special attention to General Crooks report, because think he has touched with masters hand the cause of the conflicts with our Indian foes, and I believe if he be permitted to manage the Apaches ill his own way all wars will cease in Arizona, and with them will dis appear the complicated Indian question.
 now regard the Indians as substan- tially eliminated from the problem of the army. There may bespasmodic and temporary alarms, but such Indian wars as have hitherto disturbed the public peace and tranquility are not probable. The army has been large factor in pro- ducing this result, but it is not the only one. Immigration and the occupation by industrious farmers and miners of lands located by the aborigines have been largely instrumental to that end, but the railroad, which used to follow in the rear, now goes forward with the picket line in the great battle of civiliza- tion with barbarism, and has become the greater cause. The recent completion of the last of the four great transconti- mental lines of railway has settled forever the Indian question, the army question, and many others which have hitherto troubled the country. Bnt the railroads are easily broken and interrupted and constantly call for the protection of the military usually posted on or near the lines. I therefore renew the recommen- dation of last year, that the strategic points then named be adequately en- larged with permanent barracks, so as to accommodate suitable garrisons, and that all minor places be abandoned by the military. This will in the end result in economy as well as efficiency.
 Referring to the statements that United States soldiers are overworked, General Sherman says:
 I believe, with General Augur, thst there has been 8 good deal of loose talk about overworking our soldiers. The oO1N4O4 HI 1AAACAAS1'3 hO"CNO13 oA1OuIeA OO paid in comparison with his neighbors, and not according to the scale of foreign armies, about which he knows nothing and cares less. He is willing to abide by the contract of enlistment, provided he receives extra pay proportioned to the extra work imposed on him when employed on labor not military, and the price for this extra labor should be pre- portioned to its value on the spot. When he is employed as carpenter, mechanic, or laborer on roads, bridges, or build ings of permanent nature, it is only fair that he should be paid for such labor or at least receive credit for it to be paid on his final discharge. This would remove all the clamor about mak- ing our soldiers body of cheap work men and take away the alleged excuse for desertion. I am satisfied from per- sonal observation that the condition of the soldier to-day is far better than it was in 1846, and that each year it inn proves by the increased mail facilities, better quarters, better food, and better treatment.

THE BAD BOY AGAIN.
His Pa Tries n Bicy cle Ride with Most Dis-
 astrOus Results.

''I should think your pa would learn, after awhile, that he is too old to fool around as he did when he was boy" said the grocery man, as he got away from the bad boy for fear hc would be scalped.
 s'That's what I told him when he wanted to try my bicycle, '" said the bad boy, as he broke out laughing. "He saw me riding the bicycle, and said he could do it as we'll as could, if he could once get on, but he couldn't spring up on it quite as spry as he used to, and he wanted me and my chum to hold it while he got on. I told him he would get hurt, but he said there couldn't no boy tell him anything about riding, and So we got the bicycle up against shade tree, and he put his feet on the treadles, and told us to turn her loose. Well, honest, I shut my eyes cause I didn't want to see pa get tied up in a knot.
 ''But he did. He pushed with one foot, and the bicycle turned sideways then he pushed with the other foot, and it began to wiggle, and then he pushed with both feet, and pulled on the handles, and the front wheel struck an iron fence and as pa went on top of the fence the hind wheel seemed to rear up aud kick him, and pa hung to the fence and the bicycle hung to him, and they both went down to the sidewalk, the big wheel on pas stomach, one handle up his trousers leg, and the otherdown his coat collar, and the other wheel rolling around back and forth over his fingers, and he yelling to make us take it off.
 never saw two people tangled up the way pa and the bicycle was, and we had to take it apart, and take pas coat off and roll up his pants to get him out. And when he got up, and shook himself to see if he was all there, and looked at it as though he didn't know it was loaded and looked at me and then at my chum in Q sort of nervous way, and looked around and scringed as though he expected the bicycle was going to sneak up behind him and kick him again, he wanted me to go and get the ax to break the bicycle up with, and when I laughed he was going to take me by the neck and maui the bicycle, but I reasoned him out of it. I wasn't to blame for his trying to gallop over an iron picket fence with bicyle, cause told him he bet ter keep off of it. I think if men would take advice from boys oftener they wouldn't be so apt to get their suspend CTS caught on an iron picket fence and have to be picked up in 0 basket. But there is no use of US boys telling a grown person anything, and by keeping still and letting them break their bones, we save getting kicked. It would do some men good to be boys all their lives, then they wouldn't have to initiate. Hello, there goes the police patrol wagon, and I am going to see how it rides on the back step," and the boy went out and jumped on the hind end of the wagon, and then picked himself up out of the mud and felt of his head where the policeman's club dropped on it.-Peck's ,S2L12

OFFICIAL WIsDoM.-The Electrical Power and Storage Company of London recently sent secondary battery, charged and ready for use into the country. The railroad company charged 22s. Sd. for the outward journey and only 17s. Cd. for the return, and in re- ply to remonstrance at this difference of rates explained that the cells went fully charged, but returned empty. The joke is on the railroad company, which has since learned that electricity is not an imponderable agent.

Autumn Weddings.

Parisian brides do not wear gloves during the wedding ceremony, Harper's BGzar tells us, and there is feeling here, especially among High Church brides, that it is more reverential to ap- proach the altar without gloves. A prayer-book covered with ivory or with pearl is carried by the bride instead of 8 bouquet. Another innovation in we'd ding processions is for the bride and her father, or the relative who gives her away, to precede the bridesmaids; the bride is in her turn preceded by two small boys, who walk up the aisle with slow step and important air, as if say ing, ssMake way for the bride.''
 These little fellows are dressed in Con- tinental suits of black velvet, with long white satin embroidered waistcoats, wide embroidered muslin or lace collars, knee brooches. long black silk stockings, and pumps with glittering buckles. They stand at the head of the aisle dur ing the ceremony, and as the bride de- scends from the chancel they turn with the precision of soldiers, and march be- fore her down the aisle, thus forming Q diversion for the audience, which is re- lief to the bride.
 Another caprice is that of having an uneven number of bridesmaids, either three or five, having the odd one con- sidered as maid -of-honor, and this maid walks alone to the altar just in front of the bride, and assists her during the ceremony in taking care of her book or bouquet, and with her glove if she re- moves it, or in opening finger of the glove to receive the wedding ring. White brocaded velvet forms part of nest bridal dresses this season, but is often confined to the front and side breadths, while the basque front and princesse back with its flowing train is of sheeny satin. A vertugadin puff of satin, with many loops and forked ends of white satin ribbon, is a handsome finish for the top of the velvet breadths. while thickly clustered loops resting on lace are across the foot.
 Bridemaids will wear short dresses, and white China crepe, ottoman silk, and embroidered null are the favorite ma- terials for these. Golden brown bonnets of sheer crape, drawn on cords and trimmed with white panache and aigrette, were recently worn by the four bridesmaids at Grace Church wedding and the gloves were Suede kid of lighter brown or tan shade. At another pretty wedding the maids wore white lace poke bonnets with Titan red velvet puffs or the edge, and rosette of the velvet with an aigrette in the centre for trim. ming. Ushers are again wearing white satin scarfs, and these are usually adorned with pin given by the groom gloves are not worn by ushers, nor are they seen on gentlemen when in full evening dress.

A VALUABLE MAoHINE.-A machine for picking cotton has, the Charleston NeaOs says, been satisfactorily tested in Sumter, s. O. Its capacity is 200 pounds an hour. The cost of picking the late crop by hand was $50, 900, 900 or at the rate of $7 bale. The cost of picking by machine will be $1 bale. It is estimated that third of the crop has been left in the field in seasons past be- cause of lack of hands. The machine will remedy this.

A PRETTY LITTLE STORY is told by the Buffalo Conanaercial. A gentleman who died in that city on the 18th inst, after several months illness, it says, had pos sessed for Q year and half common yellow bird, and during his sickness took great pleasure in betting it. He was accustomed to have the cage placed upon table, and would talk to the little pris- oner in the most endearing way. After his death the bird pined and dropped, and on the 24th it died.
