Ammonia is remedy for stings and

The man who keeps an OK or COW until
it pines with old age is double loser by so
doing. 1t invariably costs more in food and
care to maintain an old animal than young
one. As the vigor of life fails digestion is
less perfect and assimilation slower and
more difficult, and the waste is greater. As
the decline goes on more and more food is
required to produce milk or meat. Old an
finals can seldom be fattened at a profit
where it requires SO much more time and
feed to do it. But their flesh is not equal
to that of animals in their prime, SO there is
loss, both in the quality and cost of pro-
ducing.

PARIS GREEN FOR THE COOLING Morn.
President Saunders remarks: within
the past two OF three years Paris green
mixed with water in the proportion Of tea
spoonful to pailful of water, has been
recommended as remedy for the codling
moth, the mixture being freely applied to
the apple trees with syringe or force-pump
soon after the fruit is set. In my own ex-
peIiments where the mixture was applied to
alternate trees, the proportion Of wcrmy
fruit in some instances on the trees syringed
seemed to be nearly the same as on the ad-
joining trees which were not treated, the
fruit on both being less wormy than usual,
while in other instances there was a very
unusual freedom from the apple worm.
Other experimenters claim far more decided
results"

Carl schurz on Strikes and their Pre-.
VentiOn.

An article which Hon. Carl Schurz has in
the February number of the North American
Review on Corporations, their Employees
and the Public" derives unusual Significance
from the fact that Mr.. Schurz has recently
retired from the editorial staff of the New
York Evening Post because his views on the
labor question did not coincide with those of
the majority ownership in that paper. What
Mr.. Schurz suggests in this Review article is
that the contentious that are all the time oc-
curing between large corporations and those
in their employ must be submitted to the arb
itration of some dsinterested board of com.
missioners The great railroad corporations
and the telegraph companies perform classes
OF service that have become, in their prompt
and proper execution, necessary to the vel
fare and happiness of the community. The
complete paralyzation of railroad traffic for
q fortnight would result in an enormous loss
to the business community and to serious
trouble to society, and yet such an embargo
is not impossible at any day, SO long as the
| relations between the companies and those
who serve them are permitted to remain in
| their present unsettled condition. The trades
unions formed by the men in the employ of
railroad companies are constantly extending
their ramiications, while the corporations
they work for are gradually becoming more
and more identified with each other; hence
there are two strong and opposing forces
which may, later on, conclude to test some
| question at the expense of the general pub
| lic Mr.. Schurz maintains that, to prevent
such an untoward conclusion, there should
be appointed board of arbitration, made up
of disinterested men, who could at the same
time command the confidence of the railroad
men and their employees. These boards
should be appointed by the government, and
all disputed questions should be referred tc
them for final adjustment. He thinks thai
in this way it might be possible to complete
ly prevent the losses which now occur to the
community by means of labor strikes, ant
more especially those contests which hav,
taken place, and which are likely in the flu
ture to take place to an intensified degree
between railroad and telegraph corporation
and those in their service contests which, /
they are allowed to go on and extend, will sc
riously ieopardize our republican institutions

COOP ADVICE ABOUT PUBLIC LIBRARIES, WHICH
Is NOT WITHOUT ITS LOCAL APPLICATION.
tBy Rev. Dr.. Edward Everett Halcl
i should advise any man or woman 10
give money timo and energy to the building
M the library of the neighborhood, rather
than to build up his own, even II he were
only thinking OF the advantages of his own
family. Few Of us can spend two thousand
dollars year on books. But almost any VII
lace can spend two thousand dollars year
on books il the leaders Of that village, the
people who will use the books most are Will
ing 10 spend freely and wisely for the village
library. Now $1,000 is great deal oil
money in books It will keep up sup
ply of the best books of reference, OF the
most engaging and interesting magazines, OF
the current books of which everybody talks
of, but which are not worth keeping in pri-
vate house, and it will give good editions OF
the standards. There are great many i'm
portant books Of which you do not want
moro than one copy in the town 1t is pity
to waste force by pling together too many.
If the library is well regulated, good deal
of range will be given to intelligent visitors.
And very few boys or girls Of decent sense
and fair character are proofs against the
temptations to read afforded by good public
library.
TIE RECORD MATCH AT OAK GROVE RANGE

from the Philadelphia Record.l
President Arthur is not great man, but he
has made good President which is much
more to the purpose, and with his experience
would make a better one in the next four
years. He has shown with how little jostling
or friction the government of the people can
be managed by a man of good sense and mod
Grafton in the presidential office. Few but
extreme partissns will dispute the declaration
of the Hon. Abrsm S. Hewitt that 'the Gov
eminent is now wisely and honestly admins
tered and no higher tribute can be paid to
any Administration. That country is happi-
est which has the lowest occasions to call on
some great man" to help it out of the rut.
When a crisis arises in public affairs the peo-
pie will be able to help themselves best by
consulting their own good sense and patriot
ism. In the meantime G. A. Arthur makes d
very good President, and it will not be an
easy thing to find better one in either party.
