Peculiar Men,

Eyes, my husband is a peculiar man
about some things" remarked Mrs.
Mangos to her caller, Mrs. pebley. "He
will trust the judgment OF any one except
in the matter of beesteak. This, he de-
%clares, no one but himself can select.
Early every morning, no matter how cold
the weather may be, he gets out Of bed
before the fires are made and goes down
to the butchers. Many a time have l
asked him why he did not bring the meat
rs he comes home in the evening, but he
declares that meat should always be
selected at morning. Sometimes he AN
not find meat to suit him, and then he
comes home without any"
"Just for the world like my husband"
remarked Mrs. Pebley. "The morning is
never too cold for him to go down 10 see
about his beeisteak. I had no idea that
any other mar was like him."
Following morning. Saloon adjoining
butcher shop.
"Hello, Mangos."
"Good morning, Pebley. Right sharp
frost this morning."
Eyes, heavy. What are you going to
take?"
"Never mind; you set 'em up yester-
day morning. What are you going to
take?"
Cocktail"
"Same for me-"
"T,e other day" said Mangos, II took
two or three pretty stiff drinks and forgot
my meat. Told the old lady that l could
not find any to suit me. Here's to YOU"

FARM NOTES.

During the past seven months Chicago
packers have slaughtered and sailed
100000 hogs, against 1,535,0OO for the
corresponding period a year ago.
When frost is present the Texas fever
disappears. It always exists in the ex-
treme South, but never occurs in the
North unless brought here by diseased
cattle.
For removing the seed from broom-corn
take q board and make n comb OF it by
saving into one end OF it to make the
teeth, which should be ~sharpencd at the
ends.
An open shed will be preferred by
poultry III preference to a closed house,
even in severe weather. Fowls are
partial to fresh air, but require shelter
from rains and cold winds.
Working oxen should have a regular
feeding place and a due and regular sup
ply OF feed. There should be no opportu.
nifty Of their interfering with other cattle
or being interiered with.
Fifty years ago the average weight OF
beef cattle was 500 pounds, but now it is
l 400 pounds. This increase is due to the
introduction OF thoroughbred stock, care
full breeding and better feeding.
Sows from ! to 5 years old bring the bes
pigs, and are the most profitable breeders,
When older they get heavy and lazy, SO
that with every care it is hard 10 prevent
them from killing their pigs.
The ague which used to shake tho deni-
Gems Of the Northern Wabash Valley is
now comparatively rare, owing to the
large amount Of drainage that has been
done in that section during recent years.
In a comparative experiment made at
tho New York Experiment Station celery
grown on level ground produced an equal
weight Of crop with that grown in tren.
ches, and with much less expenditure OF
labor.
The best Of the winter pears are the
ANTON, Lawrence and Vicar. They ripen
in the order named, and the last two are
very productive varieties. THERE'S usual.
ly a brisk demand for them during the
holidays.
A correspondent Of the Ohio Farmer
says that for several years he has sown
nothing but the Fultz wheat. It produces
well, stands up well, does not shell out,
has very nice, plump grains and makes
excellent flour.

NOTES ABOUT SHEEP,

Texas ilocks shcared over A0, 900
pounds Of wool last year.
Food and shelter judiciously admins.
tered mike wool and mutton.
II Is estimated that II takes three pounds
OF wool 10 make m pound OF worsted
yarn.
10 careful not 10 keep sheep In sheds
which will engender foot rot, by reason OF
their fllthincss and dampness.
The production Of fat lambs pays, pro-
vidcd a fine animal Is raised and ready for
market early, and is placed OF market In
good condition.
Money can DO mado by buying up these
locks Of sheep which are Offered SO low,
and feeding them until spring. They will
be much higher then.
Don't forget that early lambs, or ones
that have some start before hot weather
comes on, will summer better, and winter
better the succeeding winter.
Shecpmcn and cattlemen, and In fact all
farmers, have a common interest. Let
them pull together in demanding legisla-
ton, and they will get what they ask.
Keep a few sheep, n few hogs and n few
cattle, and 1t will give you n better chance
for the profitable feeding OF all the pro.
duets OF tho farm than you can otherwise
secure.
The marked difference in the prices
brought by mutton sheep OH our market
should convince any intelligent shepherd
OF tho folly Of feeding any but first class
sheep. :.
A Middlebury, Vt, letter to an OK.
change says that shipments Of sheep have
begun TO grow large again, and there ap.
pears to be a good outlook for u ill and
winter trade.
Don't let the sheep rest under the
stacks until they fall over on them and
kill two or three Of the most valuable ones
1t is much cheaper to attend to such mat.
ters in time.
a good judge Of sheep does not judge
alone from the length Of tho wool, bu,
from its density and evcnness over the
body. Be sure that there are no bare
places, and that wool does not run out &c

Flats la Gotham.

There has ra.ely been buster time among
builders in New York than the present. The
statistics of building operations from January
l to September show an outlay of over
$44, 900 900 on new structures of various kinds.
First class buildings, including large business
houses, absorbed 81, 10000. The outlay
upon flats was close ON sl0,0ooOo0. On
tenements and tenement stores it was S. co.
90. 1t was thought few years ago that the
fiat craze had been overdone, but that seems
to have been mistake. The 100000 al.
ready put into it this year is mostly for very
large flats. such as accommodate dozen TO
score of families each, very high buildings
chiefly, which dwarf and generally darken
all their surroundings.
The first flats put up in Now York were
four stories high. After while the height
was increased to six stories, Then, as elevat-
ors came into use one or two more stories
were added. When eight-story buildings
were put up il was thought that the limit rs
To height had been reached. But the upward
tendency kept on. The buildings of eight
stories were followed by ones of nine stories,
and those in turn by ten-story buildings,
which looked simply titanic. But the adj
vance slyward did not stop there. Eleven
story buildings came next, and now hear
there are some prodigious piles projected
which shall lie twelve and thirteen stories
