When a cold or other cause checks
the operation of the secretive or
gans, their natural healthy action
should be restored by the use of
Ayers Pills, and inflammatory ma
terial thereby removed from the sys-
TEN. Much serious sickness and suf-
iering might be prevented by thus
promptly correcting those slight de-
rangements that. otherwise, often de-
velop into settled disease.

Cheap Shelters for Stock.

At the East, as a rule, farmers are
supplied with stables, sheds, ETC., IN
sufficient numbers TO properly house
their stock but in the far Vest,
over the great cattle ranges OF Kan
sas. Nebraska and Wyoming, where
cattle are kept in large numbers, sta
bles and snug sheds are, Tor the
most part, unknown, and stock rals-
ers are content to make ths winter
as comfortable as possible for their
animals with the means and materl-
ais at band. A popular form OF
shelter in the newer portions OF the
West are sheds ef poles rOoied over
with straw. Whenever it Is pracu-
cable these shelters are located on
tbs east or south sides of a forest
or bill. ia order that the force OF the
winds may be broken as much as
possible. In the Western grazing re-
piens. where natural protectlohs,
such as ravines or groves of timber,
are not available, shelters are con-
structea which afford not only pre-
tectien from storms, but feed for The
protected animals. Sometimes these
shelters are Of great length, and
made to curve so as to protect from
northwest and east winds. The
framework is made of poles set IN
the ground in rows, about sixteen
feet apart. in rows. Cross
beams OF poles spiked to
these to hold a frame Of Lighter
poles. and others placed sloping are
placed upon the north side.
Piles OF hay are spread over these
frames.
An inexpensive device for stock

stocEmen the arch-way shelter.
This usually consists Of two RAJ
pens of the ordinary kinG for the
bottom of small stacks, placed neal

THE HOUR OF SHADOWS.


Upon that quiet day that lies
Where forest branches screen the skies
The spirit Of the eve has laid
A deeper and DREAMER shade;
And winds that thro' the tree-tops blow
Wake not the silent gloom below
only the sound OF far-off streams
saint As our dreams ofchHdhood dreams
Wandering in TANGLED pathways crost-
like woodland truants strayed and losA
Their faint complaining echoes roam.
Threading the forest toward their home
O brooks. too. have gone sstray,
And left my comrade on his way
Guide me thro' aisles where soft you moan
To some sad spot you know alone
Where only leaves and nestlings sur'
And NAV dream and dream OF Her.

A correspondent of the Woree.

A correspondent of the Worcester
Spy, in an account of conversation
he once had with Wendell Philips,
says: | asked him if he had any
pleasure in fighting, if contest gave
him any satisfaction. He said not
a bit, that he hated fighting, and
was the very last man who ought to
have to do it, but, he added, when
l was in college one of mT class
mates found fault with me for al
ways standing up for any person or
thing that was denounced : he said :
"Say anything against a man, and

A Baltimore pawnbroker, noter for
his red hair, and the high rates OF
interest charged on small loans, at
tempted to dye his hair black. 1t
came out blue, but he thought that
better than red. BY repeating the
application frequently he got black
color with a blue shade. like the
feathers on a ducks head. In a
short time his health began to fail
and the doctors were unable to make
out what was the matter with him
until he told them what quantities
of hair dye he had used. Then it
was too late, and he died in the mest

EnrIchiug Orchards.

Ifthere is any doubt of the fact
that iudicious manurlng of apple
orchards viii repay labor and ex-
pense, or that the successful raising
of the apple crop depends upen
proper manuring, then we may just
as well doubt the virtue of manure
upon any other crop OF the farm.
Yet how seldom do we see this esti-
mate given TO the enrichment of the
apple orchard? And if ii is the OBJ
iect to obtain crop OF hay, this
manuring of orchards performs a
double service. But how seldom do
we see this important part OF the
farm crops treated thus generally ?
And then when the the crop falls 1t
is attributed to other causes that nave
no existence, especially the idea that
apples won't bear any longer IN our
soil. Now, the fact is, apples are
lust as well suited to the soil OF
Pennsylvania. and. we may add,
to the soil of the Middle States
generally, as they are to the soil
of any other State or section ol
country. We manure the land tor
wheat, corn, potatoes, etc, every
wear, or we should not expect a crop
nor should we expect apples III the
absence of occasional 1ertilizlng.
/ Many farmers entertain the idea that
] the manure applied to orchards Is sc
much thrown away, which ought to
be used on the regular farm crops
and thus habitually neglect the
orchard, and then complain that il
is useless TO attempt to raise apples
as if the soil for such fruit had run
out. Experienced growers Of fruit
and especially apples, know how
lallacious such an idea Is; they
know that the crop responds to The
effects of a dressing manure as read
lily and as surely as does any othel
crop, and they would no more
dream of neglecting their orchard.
in this respect than any other por
ton OF their farm. A top-dressin;

to enrich their orchards should in
form themselves upon the subiec
from successful fruit-growers, not on
" as to the mode of manuring thei
orchards but as to the best yarletle
of apples for the locality, as som
sorts, as pears, will do much bette
in one locality than in another
though the distance may be only
mile or two.

Packing Butter IN Crooks.

The partial loss of crock of our
own best butter the past season, or,
what was about the same, the loss of
It's flavor and the consequent old
taste, has led 10 the looking into the
matter, and the supposed perfect
glazing of the crock was found to be
pierced with a great number OF most
minute holes, the result in some way
of the burning. This let the air into
the butter, or, what was worse, tie
inside material of the crock simply
acted as a sponge, and the finer arc
matte oils OF the butter were absorb
ed through these minute holes into
the clay, and the outside layer Of
butter was ruined, leaving but a core
of good butter in the centre of the
crock. No poorer article was ever
invented in which to pack butter
than a poor crock, one either imper-
fectly glazed or a second, . that con-
tains cracks, blisters or scalded off
places. When the glazing is perfect
or glass like, absorption cannot take
place, but unless it Is perfect there
is a great liability Of a loss in aroma
and texture, and what was put down
as yellow butter will be taken up
with edges bleached out aud the lla-
vor gone. Ii a broken crock is ex-
amined it will be found that
the glazing at best is not thicker
than a finn, and might be easily de-
stroyed by the action of the oil and
the acids of which butter is compos-
ed. The genuine stone crock with
its glazing of glass makes a perfect
package for butter, but the common
clay creek with It's salt wash or Wit
reous glaze, is often a delusion in
butter keeping but what consumer
ever thought it was the crock itself
that worked the damage and charg-
ed it 10 this cause?
