Fall Feeding.

There is nothing to indicate that
either cattle or hogs will command ex-
ceAtionally high prices next autumn or
winter. The present indications are
that the corn crop will be abundant and
prices moderate, so that fair profit
may be expected from feeding either
Glass of stock, if reasonable care can be
used. AS many farmers are situated,
the best results may be expected from
comparatively early feeding and sales.
Either beef or pork can be more cheap
ly made in September or October than
in December, where the conditions are
such as are to be found on most west
ern farms. Two things we count inn
portant in this matter-to commence
feeding as early as practicable, and to
sell as soon as the animals cease max
ing fair gains. Both cattle and hogs
that have been CRASHED during the
summer will usually make great gain
for weeks after the commencement of
feeding new corn; and in our own prac-
tice we do not wait for the corn to ma
ture. At the first both cattle and hogs
not only eat but relish and are helped
by the green corn-stalks, as well as by
IlC tdlS. hlbCl hDOub ciNtN N'1 iVi wiz
hogs, and ninety for the cattle, the in
crease is comparatively small. If one
has crop of grain well secured there
is little loss in holding it, even if the
price does not advance; but fat ami
MAJ, which is not daily gaining in
weight, is a source of loss, unless there
be an advance in price. In almost any
large number of cattle or hogs there
will be found few animals which do
not thrive, and which it will pay better
to sell, even at a low price, than to feed
longer, and especially with hogs, some
animals will become fully ready for the
market much in advance of others.
There are some advantages in selling
large lots. but generally sales can be
made of even very few animals at
nearly full prices. A good average
steer, thirty to thirty-six months old,
fed thirty bushels of corn in 80 to 100
days, should gain at least 200 pounds,
and add one cent per pound to the
whole carcass, aside from helping fat
ten hog from the undigested corn in
his droppings, and this ought to pay.
While this is a very different system
from that pursued by the feeders who
send the very best cattle to our mar
ketsj yet this fact does not make it GER

Letter.
New York dispatch: Coroner Robinson, of
Long Island City, has received a letter from
Miss Dora Buck, of Lincoln, Neb., sister of
Private Henry, who was executed onthe order
of Lieutenant Greedy, of the Lady Franklin
Bay expedition, instructing him to have the
body exhumed from Cypress Hill cemetery
and examined. The letter is in the shape of
an affidavit, which, after setting forth the re-
lationship between the deceased and the de-
ponent. instructs the coroner to make COM
plete examination for the purpose of ascer-
tanning. If possible, the manner and cause of
death. as well as of the condition of the body.
The examination will be made in a few days.

Hour to Rear SiIE WOrnis.

- The Kansas Industrialist gives in
structions for the rearing of silk worms
in small way. The larva thrive on
Usage orange leaves, and the writer be-
lieves the product is nearly or quite as
good if they be fed on the white null
berry. The eggs should be kept in a
cool place-a cellar is good-until the
young hedge leaves start, when, if they
are brought into the temperature of an
ordinary living room, the larva will
soon appear. They are not inclined to
travel, and may be kept on paste
board box lid, or even on a newspaper,
from the time they come out small,
black worms, until they are two and a
half inches long, and are ready to open
their cocoons. Lest refuse from their
feeding should become moldy, and
therefore damp, the worms must be
placed upon new and clean paper. 1t
must be remembered that the young
larva are extremely tender, and must
be handled with the utmost care. They
can, however, be successfully transfer
red by letting them become quite hum
CRY and supplying them with good,
fresh leaves on the young branches; the
worms will crawl upon these, and may
be readily transferred. In no case
should wet leaves be fed, whether from
dew or rain; all drops of water should
be shaken off the leaves. They should
be fed three times day; indeed, it will
be found that the better the worms are
fed, and the drier and warmer they are
kept, the faster they will grow, the
larger they will become, and the soon
er they will mature and spin their CO.

R,.,nored Reduction in Passenger Rates.

The railway men at Chicago express no hope
that war on passenger rates by the trunk
lines between Chicago and New York can be
long averted, unless the pool be reorganized.
1t is rumored that Vice Commissioner PearsC
is coming west with that view. Each line in
the pool accuses the other of paying commits
sions through steamship lines. Representa-
tives of the Vanderbilt lines assert they main
tanned rates until they were forced by the
falling off in their passenger business to grant
the same commissions as were being made by
other lines. The belief is generally expressed
that rates will go very low,

ain that it may not be the desirable
plan of feeding for many farmers. We
wish to especially emphasize the fact,
well known as it is to most farmers,
that much better results can be obtain
ed from feeding during the mild wea-
Their than during the storms of winter,
unless provision be made to give unu-
sually good shelter.

rise fairy-lille from lake, reflected in
the blue waters on which it seemed to

FOREIGN MAlD-SERVANTS.
Why wellTo-Do Families are Glad to
Import Help From Europe.

Why Well-To-Do Families are Glad to
Import Help From Europe.
Almost every American well-to-do
family that travels abroad returns with
one or more foreign servants. Maid
servants are most in favor, for Ameri-
can ladies find it difficult in this coun-
try to secure young women who are
willing TO wait on them, dress their hair,
and perform other personal services.
American girls who olive out" have not
the submissiveness of the foreign
trained body servants. They resent any
appearance of authority, nor are they
as well trained as foreign servants in
those personal attentions that add to
the comfort of woman's life. Then
it is often an advantage to have girl
in the family who can speak French or
German, as they help in educating the
children into the mysteries of foreign
languages. Many men servants are
also brought over, but they do not stay
with their employer for so long time as
do the maids and governesses hired
abroad. The latter find it more diff
cult to change their employments, and
girls at service do not marry so readily
as young women who receive their com
pany at home or who work in shops.
Domestic service in these modern times
is disorganized, because minstering to
the wants of another human being is re-
garded as mental and degrading. 1t
should not be so considered. Adding
to the comfort and ministering to the
necessities of others should be looked
upon as the most laudable of occupations.
1t has been so deemed in all the best
ages of the world. The squire and the
page of the Middle Ages did every
thing for the personal comfort of the
knight they served. To wait on
kingly or noble person was a mark of
honor Fidelity to any other person
than oneself is among the chiefest and
most useful virtues 4; but reverence and
respect for others is dying out in
America, and so our servants are drawn
in great part from classes trained in
European ways of thinking,-DemOreSt

Utilizing Solar Heat.

Certain ingenious Parisians are ex-
perimenting with an apparatus for util-
izing solar heat and using it in lieu of
coal. To effect this the suns rays are
concentrated by reflector, which so
moves as to keep the rays focused on a
vertical boiler, which is thus heated,
producing steam enough to drive a
press. In a recent experiment the sum
made steam drove large press, which
struck off several thousand copies of a
specimen newspaper. Parties Interested
in thus obtaining the cheapest attain
able heat profess themselves as well sat
tsfied with the first test, and are in high.

What shall the mothers give
But golden deeds of mercy
To all on earth who live?
We greet thee for the aged,
Who hail the dawning light
Which streams from Bethlehem s manager
As star of promise bright.
We greet thee with hosannas
And halluiahs sweet,
For they who seek the Holy Child
Have nearly reached his feet.
