A Maine man claims from personal
experience that ten good grade merino
sheep can be kept on the same or less
feed than is required to maintain one
COW, and yield better.
For sheep it seldom pays to grind
grain. For young stock grain may
often be prohtabiy cooked. Potatoes
may often be cooked and fed to young
stock to advantage. Prairie Farmer.

In selecting a dairy COW pay some
attention to the size of the udder and
teats. Very small teats can not be
easily grasped. A good mich COW has
deep TANKS, velyety skin and the milk

-Unthinking farmers will sometimes
place a colt or young horse by the side
of horse of more mature years and ex-
pect it to do an equal amount of work
without injury. Such thing is not
only cruel but unWise. Many prom
ising young horses have been ruined by
such treatment No young horse should
be expected to stand the work that
horses which have been accustomed to
hard usage are able to undergo. N X.

Taking the best specimens Of steers,
it is found that by the 5est system of
feeding in the first year a calf or steer
can be made to improve 1885 pounds.
The second year the steer will gain 1886
pounds, third year 702 pounds and
fourth year 571 pounds. Thus it is seen
that in the average for the three years
after the first the increase is not half
what it was the first year, while the
animal partakes of twice as much food
and represents twice as much capital. -

CHANGING FEED.

The Kind of Food Which Ought 10 b.
Given to Cattle, Sheep and Hogs in the
Winter Season.
As winter approaches and pastures
cease to furnish succulent fodder the
food Of animals is necessarily changed
from green and fresh to that of dry
and less digestible nature. 1t is impor-
tant that this change should be gradual.
One of the supplies which have been
abundant this year, and which may be
used to advantage in this gradual
change, is second-rate apples, or those
which are not smooth and fair enough
for market or for the table, but which
will be equally good for horses and cat
tie, sheep and swine. Instead of allow
ing them to rot under the trees they
may be gathered and stored in heaps
and protected till the approach of severe
freezing weather with thick coat of
straw. They may be given in moderate
quantities at first and afterwards in
creased according to the supply. Cows
are sometimes fatally choked in their
greediness to eat when they first have
access to them, but the danger is small
after they receive them regularly; but
as they are easily sliced or chopped in
two caution would indicate avoiding
any danger. Horses are fond of APP
pies, and moderate ration does them
good, as dry fodder takes the place Of
the more succulent. Turnips and car
rots answer the same purpose. Since
the introduction of ensilage animals fed
on it suffer less from exclusively dry
feed; but as many farmers do not open
their silos until in January something
to 60 between grass and ensilage is
desirable. The farmer who keeps an
eye to the proper feeding of his animals
can use safely such materials as he pos
sesses, if he keeps before him the chief
necessity of avoiding sudden changes of
food.
1t is important in this connection, to
provide comfortable quarters against
the approaching cold; to secure stables
and cher places of shelter against cold
currents of air; to give animals dry and
clean places for eating and rest, and to
be sure that they have pure water to
drink Provision for all these requisites
must be made before winter closes up
the opportunity.
In making all these provisions for
winter the requirements for spring feed
ing must not be overlooked AS soon
as the first warm weather approaches, a
gradual supply of succulent food should
be given, and increased before turning to
grass. We have found nothing better
than parsneps. The great advantage
of this over other root crops is that the
roots may be left in the ground all win
ter, and in fact they are better for it.
The crop is easily cultivated its spread
ing leaves shade the ground and keep
down weeds, and on rich soils it Yields
several hundred bushels to the acre.
The roots may be plowed and pulled
out in spring as required for feeding at
intervals from the time the ground is
thawed till the grass is foot high

a CHRISTMAS RHYME.


count nv treasures DER with care
The little toy that baby knew,
A little sock of faded hue,
A little lock of golden hair.
Long years ago this Christmas time,
Ny little one, my all to me,
Sat robed in white upon my knee
And heard the merry Christmas chime.
Tell me, my little golden head,
If Santa Clause should come tonight
What shall he bring my baby bright
What treasure for my boyT / said.
And then he named a little toy,
While in his honest mournful eyes
There came a look of sweet surprise
That spoke his quiet, trustful JOY.
And as he lisped his evening prayer,
He asked the boon with childish grace.
Then toddling to the chimney place,
He hung his little stocking there.
That night, as frightening shadows crept,
saw the white-winged angels come
With Heavenly music to our homo
And kiss my darling as he slept.
They must have heard his baby pray'r,
For in the morn with smiling face,
He toddled to the chimney place,
And found the little treasure there.
They came again one Christmas tide
That angel host, so fair and white
And singing all the Christmas night
They lured my darling from my side.
A little sock, little toy,
A little lock of golden hair
The Christmas music on the air.
A watching for my baby boy.
But if again that angel train
And golden head come back for me,
TO bear me to eternity,
My watching will not be in vain.

To Remove Dandruff.

Take piece Of gum camphor as
large as a chestnut, and place in one
pint of alcohol. This camphorizes the
alcohol. The mixture may be per-
fumed to suit the taste. Wet the scalp
with this ds.ly. 1t will stimulate the
scalp, promote the growth of the hair.
and in many instances prevent it from
falling off. German women are noted
for their luxuriant hair. Once in every
two weeks they wash their head thor
oughly with quart Of soft water, in
which handful of bran and a little
white soap had been dissolved; then the
yolk of an egg, slightly beaten, is
rubbed into the roots of the hair; this
is allowed to remain a few minutes, and
then the hair is washed and rinsed care
fully in soft water. 1t is then wiped
and dried thoroughly, combed from the
forehead and parted with the fingers.
After drying, apply a little pomatum,
made of beef marrow boiled in small
quantity of olive oil and slightly per-
fumed. Do this near the fire in winter,
or in q very warm room. Almost all
curling fluids are mere impositions; but
with weak solution Of isinglass firm
and lasting form may be given to the
hair This solution is inolfensive. The
hair should be we'll brushed every day
in order to keep it in perfect condition.
Always use the best brushes They are
the cheapest in the end. Use the brush
very rapidly and for about five minutes.
A celebrated beauty said the hair should
receive one hundred strokes day, and
they should be applied in three minutes
time. A good and the safest wash for
the teeth is pnre soft water and the
finest quality of CASTLE soap. Apply
with moderately stiff brush morning
and evening. The above recipes are
worthy of trial, especially for those
who desire beautiful hair. Boston

VACCINATION.
What Has Happened in a Land Where
This Preventive OF SMALLPOX is
Not Used,

That there are still intelligent people
who oppose vaccination. and strive to
make it appear that it is not only use
less but injurious, need surprise no one
acquainted with the yagaries of the
human mind. For such persons, testi-
mony is of no avail They are not capa-
bic of seeing the conclusions of a logical
train of reasoning. Facts to them are
inferior in power to prejudices.
Yet there are facts which now and
startling in their native hideousness that
it seems wrong to pass them over in
silence. II it is only as matter of
medical statistics, we must print a
reference to letter from Dr. Neve, of
the Mission Hospital in Cashmere,
which has appeared in the CfU7 and
Military Gazette, of Lahore: Thanks
to the exertions of the English authori-
ties, vaccination has been carried to
some extent in that portion of India
ruled by US; but in Cashmere the state of
things in an entirely unprotected coun-
try was to be seen. DR.. Neye SAYS it
would be nearer the truth to say that the
population is annihilated. than to say that
it is decimated by the scourge of small
pox. Smallpox is endemic in every
village and town of Cashmere. II re-
Gently obtained from all my hospital
staff a statement of the mortality of
smallpox among their immediate rela-
tiyes. They represent twenty-five fam
lilies, and in these 100 members were
born, of whom exactly 100 died of small
pox. Two or three children have not
vet been attacked; all others have had
the disease Thus, of these 1870 per-
sons, at least ninety-five per cent. had
been attacked by smallpox, and of those
sixty-fiye per cent. suecumbed. ''Plere
is not much room for hoping" DR.. Neve
says, ''that these figures Indicate any
very unusual rate of mortality, and, OF
course, the evils inflicted by the disease
are lifelong in many who survive the
attack
Such is the condition of things in a
country where vaccination is not prac-
ticed, and such it was here before the
discovery of Jenner. SO it would be
again We're the crazy notions of the anti
vaccinationists. to prevail which, how
ever, we donot greatly fear. The world
may be old, but it is not senile. Medic

EVENING WRAPS.

Stylish Costumes, Cheap or Costly, as the
Wearer May Choose.
Long cloaks of rich velvet and satin
in rather light colors, deliberately en-
broidered, are worn in the evening;
they are made in the familiar designs
with the fronts loose, the back closely
fitted to the waist, full skirts below, and
loose sleeves that go on and off easily.
Ecru satin with lengthwise rows Of
jardiniere embroidery represents one of
these rich garments; another is golden
brown velvet with parts of the fronts of
roppy-red velvet with applique em-
broidery; and third, of pale gray
velvet, is trimmed with silver-fox fur.
Less costly wraps are made of dark red
plush, and bordered with dark mara
bout feathers, or the same rich coloring
is given fine camel's hair with border
of brown plush of deep pile. The short
wraps are preferred by many young
ladies, as they say they give the warmth
needed about the body and do not crush
the skirts. These are made up at home
in any of the simple mantle and yisite
shapes of fine wool or plush, or Of vel
vet either plain or in small figures, and
are warmly lined and wadded. Some
becoming and warm fur, or feather
band, is added around the neck and the
sleeves, but many of the patterns do not
need trimming on the lower edges,
hence the expense is not great. Har-

ness in nutshell.
Now, the Democrats are opposed to
this redundant revenue Th5y don't
want any money in the treasury, ex-
cept what is needed to decently run the
government and pay the pensions. That
is all the people ought TO be taxed for,
all that is necessary to have. But the
Republicans fight against any reduc.
tion of the revenue-with them it is
nothing but money, money, money.
And as they have been in power for
twenty years. they have controlled the
financial business of the government
until they now have nearly S500,000,-
900 piled up in the treasury, while bus
mess is dead and hundreds of thousands
are out of work, with winter staring
them IN the face.
Thus it is that the people are robbed
and cheated by this Republican party,
who are asking to be continued III pow

who have put up their worst and most

the shot of Guiteau In spite of these
and other considerations, MIR. Blaine
persisted in advocating his scheme.
Some strong language was used by
those who took the lead in the oppo-
sition to Blaine's proposition. 1t was
even suggested that it would be no
better than an act of treachery to the
wounded president. Secretary Blaine
soon found that he stood alone, and
was reluctantly obliged TO drop his
scheme.
There is excellent authority for the
statement that he took measures to in
form Vice President Arthur that he
had wished and proposed to have him
installed as president but had been pre-
vented by the opposition of the rest OF
the cabinet. IL is also known that at
no moment did Mr.. Arthur give the
slightest favorable response to any fca-
ture of such proposition. This was
the first move in Blaine's game to make
friend of Arthur, and secure himself
a place in Arthurs cabinet by offering
his support and service while Garfield
was still living and had hopes of re-
covery. II was also true that for
weeks after Mr.. Arthur had succeeded
to the presidency Blaine exhausted all
means in his power to retain the posi-
tion Of secretary of state More than a
plain hint was required to make him
understand that he could not remain.
He was ready to make any promises
of fidelity to the new chief, but Mr..
Arthur would not trust him but while
very civil TO him, even 80 far as to Of
fer him foreign mission, he insisted
on his resignation from the cabinet

Ohio as a Presidential Factor.

The supporters of Mr.. Blaine must
carry Ohio in October if they would
avert certain and overwhelming disas-
ter in November. 1t that state should
declare against them in October it will
be noticed that their candidate will
not receive the electoral votes of one
third Of the states They are of course
shrewd enough to understand the eff.
iect the loss of Ohio in October would
have upon the election in November
and they will therefore direct all their
energies from this time forth to the
capture of that state at the approach
ing state election.
On the contrary, while the democrats
would have a walk-over if Ohio should
elect the democratic state ticket in
October, the loss of that state will not
by any means insure the defeat of
Cleveland. In 1876 the republicans
carried Ohio at the October election
and also in November, but Tiden and
Hendricks nevertheless had majorities
in sufficient number of states to give
them majority in the electoral col
lege. The states which must be carried
for Cleveland are as follows
