Grapes have been kept over winter by

Plant Asparagus.-There should be a
large bed of this delicious early vegetable
in every garden. Once planted the thing
is permanently. Fall planting has some
advantage over spring planting, and be-
sides. there is more time for the work.
The soil should be rich, and if it is work

inches between the roots in the rows, will
supply good sized family well.

Wintering Young Pigs.

Pigs born later than the first of October
will need good care and skillful manage
ment to keep them in thrifty, growing
condition through the winter. This is
particularly the case if YOU keep them in
large numbers, and it is a good plan to
sell all you can before winter sets in,
People who keep only two or three pigs
to eat up the Stops from the house, can
handle their late pigs to better advantage
than the large former or breeder. Such
young pigs need milk, greasy water, or
broth and bread. or cooked potatoes,
with corn meal pudding; these are more
likely to be literally furnished from the
kitchen when you have only two pet pigs,
than when you have two score or
two hundred. Whatever method
of feeding is adopted let it be liberal.
Let them have all the good feed they will
eat--no more. no less. Let them have
good. dry, comfortable quarters to sleep
in, and disturb them as little as possible.
Pigs are in part alternating animals. The
more they sleep the better for them and
their owner We do not want to fatten
pigs in winter. We simple want to keep
them in healthy growing conditian.

Farm and Live stock Notes.

Fastening Fowls.-Where it is desirable
to do this ia the shortest space of time.
good method is as follows Shut up each
fowl in small coop or box, and place it
in darkened place. At the start give no
food for six or eight hours, and then begin
course of regular feeding three times
day. Let the food be corn meal. well
boiled and crumbly, with barley or oat
meal porridge frequently for change.
and there must be water in the coop. Re-
move what is left both of food and water
as soon as the bird is satisfied. In two or
three weeks the bird ought to be very fat,
and then If the fattiDg is not discontinued
it will sicken. BY this method only fat
accumulates. If the same amount of food
and care were bestowed on young chick
ems running free, the fattening would take
longer, but there would be an increase OF
good flesh with the fat.
Arrange tor more Clover .--Farmers do
not as a rule properly appreciate the great
value of this crop. As hay it is excellent
food, and makes manure three or four
times as rich in nitrogen. as manure from
feeding straw. For pasture clover pos
sesses great value and it is also unequalled
as green manure For the latter pur-
pose some turn it under when the crop is
full grown in June others take off crop
OF hay. or pasture the clover held early
and then allow it to come on again and
turn it under for wheat; still others allow
one large crop to develop then turn it I'M
der. Sometimes two crops are taken off.
and the field is plowed the next season,
and sometimes the second crop is allowed
to develop for seed. Being strong root
ed plant, the mechanical condition of the
soil is always much improved BY vigor-
Gus crop of clover. Some farmers enter
tain the idea that the decay of the root in
the soil is equivalent to a good applied
fertilizer. even if the crop above ground is
harvested However used the plant is
worthy of receiving increased attention
from all farmers. Clover ought to have
place in every rotation.

Brave Young Ladies'.

The following instances of valuable female
heroism have recently, says the London
Times, been brought before the Royal
Humane Society:
The first case was that of Miss Olivia
Georgiana +. Maude. She saved the life
of a girl named Adele Greaven, who sank
while bathing at Sea Point, Monkstown,
under the following circumstances:
Miss Maude and her sister who had them
selves been bathing, were dressed and sitting
on the rocks watching the other bathers,
when their attention was aroused by an
alarming cutlery; a girl had disappeared in
deep water.
No assistance was at hand, no boat or
ropes and even the usual attendants were
absent or otherwise engaged The child soon
rose to the surface, but unable to swim, sank
again.
She rose a second time, and the bystanders
and bathing woven, thoroughly alarmed and
CRYING for assistance, were shocked at per-
ceivng that the child's bathing dress had got
over her face and head, and that her arms
were entangled in it.
At this moment Miss Maude leaped into
the deep water, dressed az she was. without
even taking the time to remove her watch,
caught the child as she was disappearing,
and took her safely to shore.
The other case was that of Miss Mary ker-
ridge, who saved lad of fifteen, named
Stewart, who sank while bathing at Went
worth. New South Wales
The boy had gone with companion to
battle in the river Darling, and was carried
by strong current into deep water. Meth
er he nor his companion could swim, and he
cried loudly for help.
Miss kerridge was about one hundred yards
off, and, hearing the boys cries, ran as fast
as she could to the spot. plunged into the
river with all her clothes on, and caught the
lad as he rose the third time. After consid-
cradle difficulty, owing to the rapidly of the
current, having only one hand at liberty. and
her efforts being impeded by the weight of
her clothes, she ultimately succeeded in plac-
ing the lad in safety.
The Royal Humane Society bestowed med
ais for saving life, with suitable testimonials
on each of the young ladies.

and one a most terrific defamation. They
dared not waste the time required to leave
and re-enter the close apartment, and ae-
tually trusted themselves behind the wards
After the last blast one of the "pipers"
caught sight OF a man looking out of the
window in house near by
The robbers decamped in an immense
hurry Scott and Dunlap were drawn
from the vault. next door to death. Their
clothing was wringing wet from their vio-
lent exercise. although it was bitter cold
night: they had inhaled the poisonous,
mephiti" gases liberated by the explosions
OF dynamite and powder A quantity of
brandy was forced down their gasping
threats. They could not walk, and their
companions were forced to drag them
along for some miles. In this terrible
plight they walked thirty miles to rail-
road station, and reached New York city
the next afternoon.
Sixty thousand dollars worth of bonds
were compromised back to the bank, ~
but the job did not begin 10 pay. About
year after this daring operation the same
party "did the Northampton job" the
same expert aiding in the manipulation of
the combination.
During the last two or three years il was
well known that Scott. Dunlap and Con-
nors were connected with the series of
memorable safe robberies, but so skillfully
had they managed that there was not suf-
ficient proof upon which to put them
away" They were tracked and followed
some months after each operation. and
many attempts were made to rope them,
but it was all useless.
At last, however, the lock expert, angry
at the non-payment of his share of the
ill-gotten gains. parted with the secret,
turned States evidence, and the two chiefs
were brought to justice. Neither of the
men had the appearance of criminals. An
elderly gentleman entered the court room
during the trial. and took a seat directly
in front OF the prisoners. He scanned the
crowd in vain attempt to single them
out; then, turning to Scott, he anxiously
whispered:
II can't find them villains. Where are
the prisoners?'
Scott smiled, and pointing to himself,
whispered back:
Here's one of them. San francisco

Some Day.

O0me lay.
Some day shall he dead,
Some day this tired head.
With all the anxious thoughts it now doth know,
Shall be laid low.
This body, pain-racked, IL,
Shall lie at length AMI still.
Under the clover and the ,ind-Swep. grass,
Nor hear you pass.
That were. indeed, strange Sleep
When even you might weep,
And come, and g0-eyen you-unheard of me
As bird or bee
Nay, sweetheart, nay! believe
Here is no cause to grieve.
One so wayworn. of trouble SO opprest
Is glad Of rest.
Perchance when that release
Hath wrought its spell of peace.
Oer this unquiet heart, long vext with woe,
Heart's-ease may grow.

When:hat lie as eep,
But rather 10y to think such sorrow may
Have end some day.

HoR SEES AND OxEN.-As general thing
the summer season through horses can do
more work than oxen for this reason. if no
other-they can stand the heat better
Both are important on considerable
farm, and if the oxen is found to be worth
the most when age suspends labor, the
horse will have made up the difference by
the celebrity OF his movements, and the
more diversified uses for which his labor
has been made available. Both are good
in their places, and no extensive farmer is
properly equipped for business who is
desti tute of either.

GIVE THE Cows WATER.-When COWS
are obliged to live on hay they have
stronger desire for water than if fed on
other kinds of fodder. See that they have
access to it at all times. 1t will pay to
give the milk COWS pailful of water at
noon in which quart of bran has been
stirred. a lack of water will quickly
cause shrinkage in milk as well as an
actual loss of flesh.
