French farmers aregiving increased

rather than wool. The competition is
at present between crosses of the South
downs and Shropshires. The shep-
herds receive a percentage on the sale

the milk, but against these is set the loss
of the animals according to a scale. The

Points About Sealskins.

fine, close pile and soft, pliable pelts
are the first considerations in choosing
q first-rate sealskin, and, as several
are required to make a mantle or cloak,
Or Jacket OF any considerable size, it is
important that there should be uni
formity of quality, hue and luster. Lat
terry the very dark colors have been
most fashionable; out at the present
time there appears 10 be tendency to-
ward the red or Vandyke brown. Only
The hest skins. however, will take the
.-ich. dark color. Many skins are poor
and the fur is thin, in consequence of
tbe animals having been killed in the
summer season. This defect is easily
seen by initiating the method of the
holding the skin upside down
and blowing gently, in order to see
whether ne fur is close and tine-a plan
which applies to most other turs beside
seal.
The wearing qualities of all furs de-
pend largely on the care which is taken
of them, and wearing them a few days
in warm weather Injuries them more
than months use in cold weather. If
a sealskin becomes wet from being
caught in snow or rain, shake the
water off and wipe with soft, dry and
perfectly clean cloth the way OF the
fur, which should run upward. Then
hang the garment up to dry in a cool
place. and, when dry, brush carefully.

The Farmers Most Active Enemy.

This destroyer of the farmers hard
earned savings IS on every farm, in ev-
cry house, and never leaves us day OF
night, summer or winter. 1t damages
at midnight and destroys at MONDAY.
The ma ks of its teeth may be seen OF
the pas ure fence, it is wasting the
barn sills and pegging away at youI
sulky pillow. Even iron and steel are
not exempt from its ravages. The p!ow
comes in from the field bright with use:
next week it needs several hours OF
work and worry to make it scour. You
lend var new bright hand-saw to a
neighbor, who kindly leaves it lying on
the grass night or two, and its condi-
ton when returned mars its usefulness
and lessons your faith in human nature.
A careless farmer leaves his new now
er in the field or the fence corner until
next summer, by which time this fell
destroyer has damaged it one-third C!
its value. The sections are black with
rust, the journals are all gummed, and
the woodwork is penetrated and weak
ened in every part.
Those who have read thus far. will
have recognized this enemy as rust, rot
or decay, the most active promoter OF
which is oxygen. The invisible gas
forms one-fifth of the entire bulk of the
air, and eight-Dinths of the weight OF
all the water on the globe. While OF
the greatest value in the economy OF
life, it is also a destructive agent of the
most untiring kind. Yet its ravagcs
are easily checked in many instances.
thin COVERING of some oil will per-
fectly protect steel and iron from its
action. A coat of paint good enough
to keep wafer from soaking into wood,
will protect it from decay almost in
definitely. In the far West, where
building is somewhat more expensive
than in the East, farmers are disposed
to leave their farm-tools out of doors
the wear round. Such men are making
a great mistake. If they are not able
buy gallon Of paint, which. if care
fully applied TO the woodwork, will &C
a long way towards protecting it from
decay. 1t is certain that if the farmers
of any State would expend $1,000 fol
paint next year for this purpose, they
would save $4,000 now likely to be
utterly LOST. If any one thinks this
overstated, let him look around among
bis neighbors. and see the hundreds and
hundreds of dollars worth of machinery
that is going to ruin from decay. which
little paint would prevent. Here al
least in the protection of farm nipple
ments penny saved is as good as 4

Talking against Poker.

Poker-playing and poker clubs,
whether clubs in. fact or only so-called,
should be discountenanced, because of
their demoralizing effect upon persons
addicted to the game. 1t dulls the
feelings of generosity; it makes men
selfish, harsh and deceitful; it causes
them to lie, to be profane and often to
cheat, while it leads to evil associations
generally. Men will sit down to play
poker with men whom they would not
like to introduce into their families and
some with whom they would hate to be
seen in public. 1t has tendency to
make men neglectful of their legitimate
calling and their families, and the
money lost in the game would greatly
enhance domestic comfort and happi-
ness if employed in that way or saved
for future use. Whether merchant,
physician, lawyer, mechanic, principal
or clerk, when infatuated with this
game, and when spending nights at the
gambling table, instead of resting in
bed. they are surely liable to neglect
business, unfit themselves for duty by
their nightly orgies. while they depre-
ciate the value Of their services to clients
or employers. 1t impoverishes the
mind as well as the purse, and it de-
stroys amiability and establishes fret
fulness and ill-humor.
The game is usually begun as means
of amusement, with very small stakes;
but, being enticing and infatuating. it
soon becomes daily habit, and can
Ger slowly eating its way into the vitali-
ty of the victim. Most players are
bound to lose. as the chances are by no
means as equal as people may think
they are. As the losses increase in
amount and frequency, the minds of
the players become worried and troub-
led. and the continuous attempts to win
back lost money tends. in most
eases, to renewed ventures. Then
comes more worry and gloominess and
trouble Invariably the efforts to re-
gain only result in new and heavier
losses.
1t is positive fact, and can be proved
in almost every instance Cat least /
could prove it as far as my own expert
ence reaches), that in every club there
creeps in the course of time few per-
sons who are possessed of great patience
and penchant for trickery, who, under
the guise of gentlemen, simply come to
playto pass away their spare time, and
they seem to have great deal of time
to spare for this purpose. 1t is not
wonderful, under these circumstances,
that many persons retire from the club
room with not only empty purses, but
with exhausted credit, and 60 home to
punish their innocent families by their
unaccountable chagrin and nervousness.
Men who but short time since deem
no purchase burdensome, now find that
the ordering of an overcoat is severe
test of their financial capacity. Poker
is very amusing and very engaging, but
men are not content with mere amuse-
ment, and do not seem to care for stop
ping anywhere short of embarrassment
or ruin. 1t is horrible to carry about
with one the humiliating consciousness
of being an unsuccessful gambler

and there with the prevailing character
istics and results. No doubt each case
is center from which the disease
spreads. until, like the rings in a pool
caused by the dropping of the rain up
on it and the whole surface is soon in
commotion, the disease sweeps over
W de localities and invades every herd.
II is to be regretted that the dangerous
and Ineffective practice of vaccination
is recommended, or rather suggested.
1t has been very cOnclusively shown
that this merely perpetuates the disease,
especially as regards the fatal pleuro-
pneumonia, and tends to divert atten-
ton from the indispensable sanitary
precautions which alone can avoid the
exciting causes of the diseases.
The usefulness of the precautions is
conclusively shown in the present va
riety of epidemic diseases in the we'll

rot and slew thousands upon thousands

are not always sown after the manner
in which we sow corn.-Henry Stewart,

The Record Of the Fairs.

The superiority of Wells, Richardson &
Co.'S Improved Butter Color over all 9TH
ers made, is again demonstrated by its rec
ord at the Autumnal Fairs. The test Of
practical use is what tells the story, and
the great value of the premiums given by the
Agricultural Fairs, lies in the fact, that the
judges in these cases are regular farmers,
who know what their needs are and what
will supply them. Wells, Richardson &
Co.'S Improved Butter Color, which has
taken first premium at all fairs where ex-
hibited, is put up in vegetable oil so pre-
pared that it can not become rancid, most
important property, the lack of which is
fatal to so many of the Butter-Colors Of
fered for sale. 1t does not color the butter
milk; it imparts a bright natural color,
which is unsttained by many others; and
