Fall Care OF Stock.
From the Farmers Advocate.

From the Farmers Advocate.
In the fall of the year there is more
danger Of stock being neglected than
most farmers think. The transition from
the warm nights to the cool, and from
the succulent grasses of the warmer
months of the fall heritage. has quite an
effect on the condition Of stock. In per-
manent pastures the grass is dried up
and gone. and only on second-growth
clover and grassy stuble fields can any
kind Of proper food be obtained. Hence
between the autumn grass and the com
mencement of winter or stall feeding,
stock are liable to suffer from a too scant
diet. When this is the case, stock com.
mence iii the face Of hard winter in
poor hear t, and they consequently never
gain up and there is consequent loss.
We are fully Of the epinion that the NO.
eject OF proper management of stoc in
the fall is OF more Importance than any
other season of the year. When the
pastures, are getting bare every farmer
should have rotation OF soiiing, and
when the cold nights come, especially
in the case of mich COWS, they should
be put in comfortable yard or table
and not allowed to rest on the cold damp,
grass. This has a baneful effect, and
causes more harm than anything else.
Besides putting stock into comfo,tabl
quarters, the system requires to he kept
up by liberal feeding, and here is where
the soiling system would come into effect.
If farmers have not got sutfi cient accom-
modations in the stables for all their
stock. let them have sheltered yard or
shed, and bed it literally, so that the
animals may be dry atnights. Thus not
only are they being made comfortable,
but they are early commencing the work
Of manure making, which is so essential
to oil our farms. Put the COWS in the
stable or yard on cold nights, and give
them good feed of late sown corn, rye
or vetches at night when you take them
in; another feed in the morning. Every
farmer can have q few acres of this
green fodder, and we guarantee to say
that one acre of this will make a greater
return in feed for stock than FIVE acres
III pasture. and five acres in soiling-feed
on 100 acres would keep all the stock re.

"A Man Who Sent His Mother to the
Poor house ana Stole Her Shoes.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
A mar who possesses $4,000 in gov.
eminent bonds, but who will probably
not have one mourrer in the world,
died in Walden, N. Y, recently. His
name was John Wilson. lie was we'll
known throughout that portion of the
country as doctor" Wilson. He had
lived in Walden fifty years, and for thir-
ty years he worked as boss stone mason,
never having been known to lose an
hours time. He boarded every cent OF
his wages possible, sponging his living
here and there, and making purchase
only when he was driven to it by neces-
sity.
Ten years ago he quit work and took
up his quarters in the garrett of an old
stone house, delapidated building
with only one window. There he lived
the life of a recluse. The only per-
son who was suffered to enter
his room was girl, Minnie Oldham by
name, the daughter of a poor laboring
man Of the village. She had been q
special favorite Of his from babyhood.
formed such household duties as he
would permit her to do. The only 9th
er person who ever crossed his thres-
hold was a tax-collector, who forced an
entrance, and succeeded in collecting
the first taxes Wilson had said in fiji:
teen yeara. Many efforts were made
by visitors to see the home of the mis- ser,
but he was always on guard, and met all
callers at the loot of the rickety stairs,
and they co lid 20 no further.
The mother Of Wilson lived in Wal len
until some years ago, supporting her
self until she was so years old by all sort
of drudgery. When she was unable to
work any l.nger she applied to her SON
for support during the remaining years
OF her life. He purchased her Il pair of
shoes and then walked her twenty miles
to the poor-hou;e, where he delivered
her to the authorities, first taking from
her the shoes. She died in short time
and was buried as pauper.
Besides the Oldham girl, Wilson had
friendship for only one other person.
This friend, however. was never per nit
ted to cross his threshold. Some months
ago needed improvements in the streets
Of Walden led to the condo mnation Of
the stone house, which was torn down.
The miser, unable to find shelter with
any of the villagers or to rent room,
was forced to buy a shelter. This was a
miserable house in an isolated portion
OF the neighborhood, where Wilson re-
sumed bis life ofherm;tace, his solitude
being broken only by the visits of the
young girl. He was found dead in his
hut. His money, it is reported he lett
to Minnie Oldham. who is respectable
girl of II. In appearance Wilson was a
typical miser. He was over six feet
high, with long matted hair and beard
and wore garments made Of endless,
patches of all sizes and col0rs.

ASs:--To 100 pounds Of beef take nine
pounds of salt, tour pounds of sugar or
two quarts of molasses, two ounces of
soda, one ounce of powdered salt-peter,
and water to just cover the meat-four
or five gallons. Strew salt over the bot

mainder of salt and sugar, to the water
and pour over the beef. Place board
