Satisfying che Kickers.

Last fall the stockholders of certain
Western railroad were making such 3
vigorous kick about the non-payme nt
of dividends, that the President felt his
position All embarrassing one. He
finally plucked up courage and decided
on a line Of conduct. The principal
kickers we're informed that the outlook
was more cheerful than for years before,
and we're invited to take trip over the
line on g certain date.
At the time appointed large gang
were packed into the parlor cars and
run of a hundred miles was made. Din
ners, suppers and hotel bills were all
paid by the railroad company, and every
body came back perfectly satisfied.
Why" said one, II counted ovez
twenty freight trains inside of sixty
miles"
"And every siding was full of them"
added O. second.
Il tell you We are having all the freight
we can handled" proudly exclaimed
third, and that ended all further kicking.
1t was only the other day that any OF
them learned that the President boz
rowed 312 freight cars and had them
placed wnere they would do the most
good that day.

ss Well though som hat lower last
season than for several years past, they
are still at figures which once would
have been thought fabulous. Before
the late war $s Is TO 81 90 per week was d
good salary for . frst-class rider, but
now such q ono would command from
$50 to $500 per week. OF course, the
salaries of people of great reputation,
Mad. Elise Dockrill, Charles W. Fish,
Frank Melville and James Rob-
inson, the great bareback riders,
far exceed the above figures, reaching
IN some instances as high as $500 OF
even $500 per week J, and the same APP
plies to performers in every branch Of
the business. Such clowns as years
ago received $50 per week would now
receive 800, but the salary of Dan Rice,
who elowned with Nathans' Circus a
portion Of the past season, was probably
away mp IN the hundreds. The salaries
Of the working hands, such as canvas
men, drivers, hostlers, the men who
care for the animals, etc, have decreased
instead Of increasing, and these people
are now more poorly paid than ever. !"

Feed the Stock Some Grain.

The failure Of the corn crop has left
many farmers short Of grain, and many
will not buy. The hay, in many places
is not as good quality as usual, and
stock do not do Us well as they ought to
on it. In such cases it is economy to
buy some mill feed or grain to put with
it, or at any rate it never will pay to
let cattle run down in flesh this cold
weather. The COWS need the most at
tention just now, and because they are
perhaps giving no milk they must not
be neglected. AS the period Of calving
approaches, the cows system becomes
much disturbed, and the circulation is
considerably increased. The animal is
taxed to the utmost to supply the blood
needed for the development Of the calf,
At tits time overlooking or underfeed-
are equally harmful, but what is called
good feeding is sirable-good hay, o
little grain, a few root,
make a good diet for COW
at this season. DO not be afraid of
having her in good flesh. This is not
what brings on milk fever as many seem
to think. On the other hand. as ca1v-
ing time approaches, she should not be
stuffed with food that will produce a
large flow Of milk, for it is this very
thing, making too strong drafts on the
system at critical time together with
mismanagement and exposure that de-
velops this fatal disease. IT -
The best COWS are the most liable
It is best not to withhold moderate
quantity of food before, nor to allow toe
much st,,fing Immediately after calv-
| ing. Keep her well sheltered and quiet

Candle Superstitions.

So far as number is concerned, the
most numerous class OF superstitions il
composed of these which cluster round
the family candles. The origin Of these
probably dates far back in antiquity,
when the world was full of superstitious
fancies about light in general and can
die light in particular. When we come
down to the early days of the Christian
Church, however, we find that not few
Of the ordinances of religion were &C
companied by ceremonies borrowed from
paganism, in which lighted candles
played an important part. Candles were
lighted at birth to keep off evil spirits,
at marriage to prevent the evil eye from
affecting the happy pair, and at death
to drive away the demons who were
thought to be always on the look
ont for the soul of the dying man.
Naturally then, as candles played
SO important part in the ceremonies
Of religion, men became accustomed to
regard them with something OF a super
stitious eye and to look to signs and
wonders which were not to be elsewhere
found. Soapeculiar appearance in the
candle, for which no reason could be
given, was always regarded as some
thing indicative Of some remarkable
thing about to happen. A collection Of
tallow round the wick is still known as a
windingsheet. and isbelievea to foIetell
the death Of one of the family, while a
bright spark is @ sign of the future re-
ception OF a letter BY the person opposite
whom the spark as situated, and the wav-
lingo the flame without any apparent
cause is supposed to demonstrate the
presence OF spirit in the room. In ad.
dtion to these fanciful notions there are
some others which are founded on natu-
| raj facts too well known to admit of dis
pute, such as the refusal of the candle tc
Light readily, which indicates State
of atmosphere favorable to a coming
storm. - st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Po1led Cattle.

Mr.. James Hoyt, a recent convert to
hornless heads, tells The N. E. Farmer
that, after few months experience in
the care and handling of a herd of some
twenty polled cattle he is ready to in
dorse all that the admirers of this kind
of stock are likely to claim for it. He
thinks that, other things being equal,
the COWS will do about one-ffth better
than those with the worse than useless
excrescence, "being so much more quiet
and kindly in their dispositions, and he
adds this information about taurus in q
treadmill: "A fine, large polled bull
is used when needed, in two-horse
power stalk cutter and thresher, in COM
pany with one horse. The bull works
by the side Of the horse, and keeps his
own side we'll up. The horse seems to
have formed quite an attachment for the
bull and when the machine is stopped
will rest his head against the head OF the
bull. who shows no indications whatever
Of resenting the familiarity. Had the
bull q pair of sharp horns it would hard
~ be safe to hitch up such Southern
style Of team"

Hen Manure.

Hen manure use in the hill only,
says 9 gardener, for tomatoes, melons,
cucumbers, corn, potatoes; mixed with
an. equal bulk Of earth and half its bulk
of plaster it is equal to most commercial
fertilizers; about pint to the hill will
do wonders, if you have some manure
in the soil, as I said, to begin with. To
raise nice vegetables the soil needs to be
"full Of manure" Cabbage will do well
on new land if two or three applications
of manure have been worked into the
soil. Spinach needs the best land you
have. This is equally true of onions,
carrots, celery, caulitiower and cucum-
bers. Tomatoes will give q crop on any
soil; the poorer the soil the earlier the
crop, but the richer the land the bigger
the yield; this is good general rule for
the tomato. Melons and squash need
manure at the hill; compost of night
soil seems to meet the wants of these
crops as we'll as anything, and bushel
of a thorough mixture of twice its bulk
with some absorbent is very good.

Cooking Cheese.

A scientific writer in q foreign nag
azine gives two receipts for cooking
cheese, which he considers valuable,
as he believes from experiments and OBJ
servations, the cheese which is cooked is
more easily digested than that which is
raw. The first dish is much like omelet.
Fresh eggs are well beaten and then are
mixed with gratedehe this is moist
ened with sweet milk; it is then cooked
in little pan like flower pot saucer;
it is cooked gently. The other method
of preparing the dish is to take some
slices of buttered bread, soak them in
batter made of milk and eggs, without

neatness Around stables and Barns.


Neatness in the precincts, as well as
the surrounding, of the barns and sta
bles is commendable at all seasons of
the year, particularly in the. winter
time. The stock Of all kinds Will be 8
good deal better when the practice is
observed, and those who are caring for
or have charge Of the stables and barns
will be able to do up their work with
more system and to better advantage
than they wonld with the accunula tion
of filth at every turn they are obliged to
make. II is Just as. necessary that barn
floors should be kept neat and clean. al
it is for q house floor, and. the stable
floors where the cattle are confined
should be cleaned out daily with all the

How to Make Mice Soup.

In order to make relishing soups q
condenser Or soup steamer should be
purchased, and all the bones and scraps
taken from the table should be thrown
into it-bits Of chicken, beef, mutton,
and lamb. The greater variety of meat
the nicer will be your sonp. and bits OF
ham and bacon will add to its favor;
also potatoes and onions and turnips
and bits, of bread. Pour in cold water,
SO as to extract all the juices of the
meat from the bones Place the kettle
on the back Of the stove aud do not let
it boil, but keep it on the simmer, add
ing a little cold water if it boils mp
rapidly Let it cook on the back of the
range all day. At night remove the
bones and meat and strain the soup
through a sieve and set away. Next
morning take off all the grease, and an
hour before dinner you can make the.
stock into q carrot soup, with six small
freshly grated carrots and one small
chopped onion; or into vermiceli
soup, by adding three tablespoonful Of
q and two tablespo onfuls Of catsup; or
into tomato soup, by chopping finely
eight skinned tomato es and boiling them
one hour IN the soup. Strain it before
serving 8, to take out the seeds. H de-
