 fodder; lucky thing will it be for the show ing in the milk cans and butter workers ii this fodder consists of swset corn stalks and hay that was cut at the right time and cured in the right way. The capacities must be humored by variety of feed, and meal ot various kinds must figure freely among the daily supplies. With good breeds of ani- mals an abundance of food, pure water, sta bles that are we'll fitted for comfort, careful attention to feeding and every other matter and there may be much satisfaction found in the dairy, even in November. What is want ed is an understanding of what to do and a love for the bu iness; then all will go we'll even now.
 ORCHARD AND GARDEN.
 Onions keep pwell under hay.
 Prune at any time after leaf fall.
 Store the cabbage before it freezes.
 Hill up the young trees and mice won't girdle them.
 Freezing no doubt improves the flavor of parsnips.
 Some SOW oats in the strawberry patch in he fall. The plants freeze, fall over and serve as mulch. By spring there is not enough left of the stalks and leaves to hinder culture in the least.
 If you have been short in small fruits dur ing the past year resolve now never to let another season pass without planting good patch of all kinds, and then live up to your resolution. The idea that farmer with his broad acres should be short in such fruit, when a half acre or an acre would grow an abundance, is absurd. The culture of these is very simple by laying out in rows, to be titled by horsepower.
 iies, grapes, etc., that are not perfectly har- dy, are easily protected The canes should be bent down to the ground and be covered with an inch or two of soil, tan or sawdust. Before bending them put small bank of earth or some sods against the base of the shoots, over which to bend them, to prevent breaking. Where the plants are close, as in the case of raspberries, the stools of two of them may be brought to the ground togeth- CT, the same covering being sufficient for both. Even hardy grapes are benefited by 3 winter covering.
 FLOWERS AND THE LAWN.
 Remove yellow leaves.
 Chrysanthemums now in.
 Pot bouvardia cannot stand drouth.
 If nice fuchsia slips show up s.rike them.
 Many primroses are killed every year by overwatering
 It's the sickly plants that are the most troubled by insects.
 When plant is being watered enough wa ter should be given to completely soak the ball of earth.
 Plants in the window are a certain indi ca tion of the taste and refinement of the in- mates of the house.
 Contrary to what many seem to think, fern fronds should not be kept wet much in the winter. Some kinds, like the adiantums, will really receive injury from this.
 To induce early blooming in jilly flowers keep the pots small for continuous bloom over a long season don't hesitate to give the plants ample sized pots
 Tuberose Bulbs.-If you cannot provide 8 nice, warm and dry place for these during the winter you might well toss them out of doors. There is no trouble to keep over the bulbs in cool place, so far as anything that the eye can discover is concerned, but ii stored in temperature of less than forty. five degrees for any considerable length oi eons f m ah fnfs c6ndffoa iH Tubsf @ would grow if planted, but it would never bloom. What does anybody want with . tuberose at all if not the bloom? A great deal of the complaint about these plants not towering is to be explained upon these grounds. Sometimes the question is heard "Will the old bulbs flower agains" Our an- swer is, never.
 The Ethics of Pain
 From the British Quarterly Review.l
 With vast capacity for pain, man seems to contain no machinery designed to produce it. It has always the air of disturbance or an intrusion. Yet, although not omnipres- ent, it is ever imminent, and by it the ener- gies which are most proper to man are sus- pended or rendered difficult. It often sweeps away the resolves of the will and die tates it's own terms to our moral nature. We can account for the whole of bodily pleasure on physical grounds, but for only a portion of bodily pain. To our moral sphere of be- ing, therefore, as hope to show more fully further on, we must look for full account of it. If the maximum of voluptuous en- joyment had been the highest object of our nature, still, even so, room would be found for pain in the animal economy, since in or der for existence to be enjoyed it must first we are protected from fatal hurts or warned of their existence, and so with regard to the approaches or the fact of diseased ac- ton in the body. And this to large ex- tent animals share with us. Pleasure seems to have no such preservative element in it, and our capacity for it might be conceived so enlarged as to be constant blind to precaution and lure to destruction. Pain, on the other hand, is largely charged Gas shown above) with preservative power. An enlarged capacity of pleasure would be certainly followed by an increased pursuit of it. On the contrary, enlarged capacity for pain need not imply the increase of ac- tual pain in proportion. Experience, re- fection and precaution, being elements of our nature, might even make Q much less amount of pain actually endured consistent with that enlarged capacity. And to what ever extent these clements of our nature could succeed in averting pain, some such rule of inverse proportion would probably result. But the tendency then would be to absorb an undue part of our energies in constant maneuvring to avoid pain. This is neutralized by there being kinds and de grees of pain which cannot be so avoided, although few which are not open to some remedial alleviation.
