Points Of beef Steers.

In many instances the feeders whole
profit depends upon his Judgment in the
selection of steers that have an aptitude
to fatten. There are standard points
which are unerring indications both of
the quantity and quality of the flesh
which an animal will lap on, aud should
be diligently studied by every feeder
who aims at success in his business.
Different values are attached to these
points according to the symmetry or con-
~stitution of the animal, or the prices of
the butchers cuts, are affected. We APP
pend hereto the main points as given to
the London. Ont, Farmers AdoOcate:
Muzzle-Large; wide n~ostrils required
for easy and vigorous breathing, indi-
eating a strong constitution. Promi-
nent lips indicate good grazing quail
ties.
Eye-Full, bright, placid, indicating
a gentle disposition, and therefore good
fattening qualities. A vicious animal is
seldom a good feeder.
Ear-Medium size, fine, and covered
inside with soft, silky hair.
Horn-Fine, smooth; oval shape pre-
ferred. Large, coarse horns usually
indicate a coarse frame and coarse
bones.
Head-Small or medium. A wide
forehead is indicative of intelligence
hence, animal easily tanned or taught, in
dicating good thriving qualities. The
poll should be prominent and the jaw
wide and smooth.
Neck-Medium length, gradually
widening toward the shoulders -longer
for a grazer than n stall feeder; slightly
arched; shoulder vein full.
Chest-Broad n full, indicating q
| good constitution.
Brisket-Well forward and wide, but
not too deep-should be a little lower
than the under line Of body. Chest and
brisket should be destitute of loose flesh
(dewlap). From a butchers standpoint
this is an important, though not a very
valuable part, a small, skinny brisket
having scarcely any value.
Shoulders-Wide across, without a
depression between. A depression indi-
Gates looseness of frame, and hence a
lack of strength to carry weight of body.
Should not be set too perpendicularly.
Ribs-ShOuld be well sprung, forming
a wide back and a capaciOus barrel.
! Should be well ribbed home.

The Way to Preserve WatermelOns
and Squashcs.

W. D. Boynton, of Appleton, Wis,
says, in the Farm and Garden: 1t is not
generally known that watermelons can
be kept in good condition up to the fore
part of winter. | am led to think that it
is not generally known from the fact
that is but little practised. The water
melon is too fine II fruit to be restricted
to any two or three weeks Of the year,
when it may be enjoyed for almost as
many months. The melons that are to
be preserved should be picked as late in
the season as the frost will permit, and
those that are to be stored away should
be just a little grcen-say a week before
~ripening. If picked at that particular
stage, and laid away as hereafter directed
they will ripen very slowly. occupying
about three weeks, perhaps, after which
they will retain their qualities for many
days and then IN a gradual de-
terioration. The melons should be
packedin sawdust, bran, oats, chatf, or
any such fine. dry material that will keep
the fruit cool, but still. prevent decay.
A large packing box placed in the wood
shed, or any such airy, dry place,
may be filed with melons and packing
ulatelldl III very l'tle iaDOT. n uTy, cOOl
cellar would no doubt be still better.
Try a few this season, and see if you are
not well repaid for your pains. Remem-
Der that late varieties of large size are
usually the best keepers. always pride
myself on having a good supply of sound
squash all winter and along into the
spring. 1t is not a hard matter to do this
if one goes at it right, yet find that com
paratively few manage to keep them even
up to midwinter. 1t is not at all surpris.
ing that they do not succeed in keeping
them longer, when We consider the meth.
DDS of handling practised most com
monty, In the first place they must be
carefully gathered. The usual way Of
driving along with the wagon box ant
pitching the squashes into it from boil
sides, will not answer They are sure tC
be jammed and bruised by this means
and whenever they are bruised they vii
soon decay. A sled or stone boat SHOULD
be used for hauling them to the cellar
Instead of being piled in a heap in th'
cellar, place them in tiers on broaC
shelves or staging.

Charcoal and Lime for Fowls

Charcoal and lime should be allowed
fowls always. Let them have all they
will swallow. Even if the fowls are not
confined, but especially so if they are.
Charcoal pounded up into bits of pieces
about the size of n grain of corn, or a lit
tie finer, should be put a ound in small
piles where the fowls can have easy ac-
cess to it, and they will soon make use of
it. The cost of charcoal is but a tritle,
and where the distance from town is so
great as to prevent it from being readily
obtained therefrom, the ashes from a
wood stove may be sieved out, and the
small bits of charred wood or charcoal
used in the place of that made in the
regular way. Especially during the
spring and early summer months is it de-
sirable to use charcoal freely. Lime, too,
is valuable in many ways. In the form
of whitewash it begets cleanliness, free
dom from disease, and laying hens should
have lime, where they can make use of it
in assisting in the production of eggs.

How Ladies Came to Attend Congress

The ladies did not at first attend the
sessions of Congress, probably because
in early days it was regarded as almost
reasonable for a lady to enter the Brit
ish houses Of parliament. But when the
famous Jay treaty" was brought home
for ratification, the House came near re-
fusing to make an appropriation to carry
it into effect, and warm d,rAtes ensued.
One night at a party, Mrs. Langdon, Of
New Hampshire, expressed her regret to
Hon. Fisher Ames, of Massachusetts,,
that she could not hear the arguments s,
especially his speeches. MI. Ames re-
piled that he knew of no reason why
ladies should not be permitted to hear
the debates. "Then," replied Mrs. Lang
don, "If you will let me know when YOU
next intend to speak 1 will make up a
party of ladies and we will 20 and hear
you" The notice was given, the ladies
went, and since then congressional ora
tors have always had fair hearers, with
others, perhaps, not very fair. Ben

him Dit was an awful hot place, for Jack
sons men were on two sides of the bat
terry, the spot burned and throbbed
more and more until he felt that the next
sighting of his gun that spot would be
reached by a bullet and he would be sent
to his last, long home. Yet the sergeant's
state of mind and his hallucination Cfor
it was nothing but an hallucination) can
be accounted for by the fact that the
men Of the battery had been on the alert
for seven days with every nerve On q
tension, and with very little sleep and
with very scant r%ations. The human
body is rather tough, as far as hardship
is concerned, when it is dominated by a
determined soul, but 1t can't stand every
thing, and | believe there is a sort of de-
lirium tremens consequent from exhaust
i've bodily fatigue, lack of rations and
prolonged mental strain. And that was
what was the matter with the sergeant.
1t is a fact that while nearly every man at
his gun was wounded, in spite of his pre-
sentiment, he emerged from this bloody
battle without injury N0Toy, IN Wash

The Fish AuctiOneer In Holland.

One of the sights of Holland to be
seen by the stranger is the method of
handling fish. AS soon as Il hoatman
reaches port with a load Of fish the fact
is announced by the sounding Of a gong.
Those desiring to make purchases repair
to the beach, where the fish are lliled up
in little heaps. The owner then proceeds
to auction them off. Instead of letting
the purchasers do the bidding, as is done
in this country, he does it himlelg. He
sings out a price at which he will SILL the
lot, If no one takes it he lovets his
asking price till within what ,he pur-
chlsers arc willing to pay. In Lntwerp
the same custom prevails, the only differ
ence being that the fish are brought
alongside the docks in the boats, are
then hoisted upon the wharf in large
wicker baskets, having open work sides,
so that the fish can be seen by the pur.
chasers. Fish Journal.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.


For the evils that have long bafled
scrutiny and effort each inquirer finds a
sure cure. The first one that he finds,
he thinks is certainly infallible. The
second is probably SO. The third is
doubtful; and after that, anything that
promises well is worth trying.
OF sure cures fer the pear blight the
number is great, but the trees blight all
the INT Several partial successes made
In the same direction, make this one
worth trying" Keep all blighted parts
cut far of. below the blight. Discour-
age the late growth of the tree, and in
the fall cut off nearly all the new wood.
The theory is that the sap in the pear
tree is very sluggish. In the new wood,
it does not go back to the roots in the
fall. 1t sours and freezes, and poisons
the tree. Prune late and heroically, and
the blight is prevented .-Racine Agri-

Crops-Here great f~ullness and girth
are required, indicating lung room, and
a good constitution. The flesh here is
also valuable.
Legs-Short, clean, fiat, should stand
well under the animal, and be graceful in
their movements; leg bones fine and
smooth. Hind legs should be straight
as practicable and not in hooked. The
elbows should have free play.
Back-Straight, broad from withers to
tail attachment.
Loin-Broad and slightly arched.
Rump-Full, wide between pin bones,
and tail attachment should be even,
strong and on level with line of back.

Diamonds Stained with Blood.

Perhaps there has been more intrigue
and ~bloodshed on account of the famous
Oriental diamond, Great Mogul, than
any other. 1t originally weighed 1877
karats, but by cutting was reduced to
219. 1t was apparently the highest aim
of every reigning potentate in Asia to
place that gem in his crown. Famous
intriguers had carte blanche from their
soyereigns to get it at any cost. Finally
the Tartars, under Nadir Shah. invaded
the civilized country and captured it and
about S400, 000, 600 in treasure bonds.
That was Il century and more ago, but
not a word has been heard of the Great
Mogul since. 1t is supposed, however,
that it is in one of the obscure fortresses
of Asia Minor. Diligent search is kept
up, and when it is found there viii be
sharp competition between royalty and
shoddy as to who gets it.
Russian %potentates have always wished
to make a greater show of wealth than
any Others. The thrones of all the
Russians are miracles of wealth. The
throne of the empress is completely Gov
cred with Plates of gold. and contains
100 rubies and 5000 t~urquoises, be-
side many other rare and costly gems.
The throne of the czar, known as the
diamond throne, is truly a marvel. In
it are set over 1000 diamonds of the
first water. 1t is generally conceded
that Russia possesses more precious stones
than any other nation, a majority of
which were procured at the expense of
blood. The jewels in the Cathedral of
Moscow alone are valued at $l2, 600, 600.
The great Orloff diamond, for which
Count Orlof paid $3.50, 600 and SEQ, 600
a year to the seller for life and a title to
nobility, was Il bloody gem, it having
been the prize at stake in several Skin
mishes. The shah was another gem on
whose every facet could have been writ
ten a bloody story of which it was the
hero.

One Here Appeal for the
Warm Springs Church.

Our work on the church building at
Warm Springs has been delayed very
much. We have felt exceedingly anx-
ious to finish the house but eould not be-
cause we have not been able to. get the
money. Almost enough was subscribed
to complete the work but much of the
subscription is still unpaid. Now we
wish to make one mere appeal to the
subscribers to pay their subscriptions
at once. If they will do this, and three
hundred brethren and friends will give
one-dollar each, the work will be COM
pleted by early spring and not dollar
of debt on the church. Now are there
not three hundred brethren and friends
who are interested in this work to the
amount of one dollarP Some who sub
seribed at first, and paid their subscrip-
tions have paid again. The seconl man
who responded to the zone dollar" prop
osition was brother who had subscribed
and paid ten dollars before. Now breth-
ren. a lille from many Will make much
in the aggregate. Do help US, and let
thfs work be finished. Remember, it is
the property of the Western N. @. Con-
xention, and every. Baptist should feel
himself especially called upon to do
something.
Yours, in the work,
