On Monday evening in company
with Mr.. Carroll, Of the firm Of Pope
Joy and Carrell;we strollsd down the
railroad some half mile from town to
look at the work. The hands were
busy lowering the sides of the en-
bankment in order to get the dirt
down to the lower side Of tho cross
ties. Mr.. Carroll informs US that the
contractors would not receive the
work until the edges were lowered.
The cause of this is the sinking Of the
cross ties into the mud or dirt until
the earth was about even with the
top Of the ties instead OF tho bottom
He informs us it is the purpose Of
the road to haul in gravel to put or
the road bed until it is foot higher
than it is at present. It is to b'
hoped that these clever gentlemen
will get more work near here. The.
keep the most perfect order in thei

Neither mental nor pysicial labor
can be accomplished satisfactorily
unless the system is in order. When
YOU feel tired, languid, wearr,ed
without exertion, the mind slow to
act, and requiring great mental ef-
fort, you can rest assured that your
Liver is not acting properly, and
that nature requires assistance to
help throw of impurities. There Is
no remedy that will accomplish this
so mildly and yet effectually as
Prichly Ash Bitters. A trial will sat,

Lancaster Farmer.
Corn is so rich in oil that we may say
corn-bread is ready buttered; it is, how
evey digcstible, and in cold weather this
oiliness Is most valuable factor, US It
serves to keep up the heat of the body
more directly than starch and similar sub
stances. With oats and barley it may
form one-thlrd OF the grain ration OF hard.
worked draft horses, and will keep their
coats glossy and be in every way benefit,
certainly worth more than its weight in
oats. Fed alone or in larger proportions
1t has tendency to make horses sweat
easily, and 1t Is said TO become quickly ex.
hausted. II is not safe to feed 1t as freely
as oats or barley, as there is danger Of i'm
paction-iust as there would be il wheat
were fed. No doubt it is best fed ground
with oats, and the proportions already in
dicated are probably the most satisfactory,
the meal being fed upon cut hay.
For cows in milk, corn meal may form,
with bran, the exclusive grain ration, and
may be fed at the rate Of one pinto corn
meal to each 100 pounds OF the cows live
weight No doubt it will be found Just as
good in Great Britain Us here. ltgiyes
quality and richness to tho milk, color to
the butter and abundance to the flow il
the COW is good one; but II she is In
clined to lay on fat such feeding will cause
her to iatten, even though in full milk,
and II she gets too fat she will 60 dry.
For sheep corn is excellent, but should
be fed whole and little at. u time. For
swine, tho universal experience from
Maine to Oregon, and from Canada To
Mexico, is that II will make more and
better pork than any other food. For
poultry 1t is in this country the universal
grain, but it Is not always the best. II is
admirable for its fatteniflg properties, but
for laying hens and growing fowls 1t Is
not well to use too much. "Corn.fed"
fowls, ducks and geese arc firni-tleshed
and yet tender. They bear transportation
alive with little shrinkage. True yellow
corn makes yellow butter and yellow fat
in fowls. English and French tastes de-
mand .white-tleshed poultry with pale,
lardy fat and so iatten poultry on rice,
and their fancy market fowls have about
rs much flavor rs boiled rice. Tho Amer.
lean market demands yellow iieshed fowls,
with fat as yellow as June butter, and
corn is tho food to produce this In all
poultry.
