nancial straits have beset many, but the
wealthy have also taken their life.
Insanity and dissipation have pre-
ceded suicides and family murders,
One feature common to almost every
such crime challenges attention. Well
nigh every report of suicide and family
murder mentions the perpetrator as
having "for some time been subject to
melancholy" Whence comes this ? All
recognized medical authorities tell us
that the fire which consumes the brain
is always kindled by arrangements of
digestion that good digestion is inpos
sible without pure blood, and pure
blood is never known when the liver and
kidneys are out of order. Under such
circumstances, preventive should be
sought, and for this Warmers safe cure
is sovereign fact conceded by the
best authorities in the land, and 1t is
especially commended by the celebrated
Dr. Dio Lewis.-ROcheSter Democrat.

STABLING CATTLE.-There are two
barns near Mt. Morris, n. Y, with an
arrangement for stabling cattle which
obyiates frequent cleaning of the sta
bles. One was built in 1888 by Herbert
Wadsworth, of Avon, n. Y. designed
to accommodate 100 head of cattle the
other by Joseph Cone & Son, the past
season, on their farm at Sonyea for the
accommodation of $50 head of cattle.
The cattle stand upon the ground, are
fastened by chains, and are bedded
daily, the stalls not being cleaned Of
tener than once in two moaths. The
cattle face each other and eat from the

spring feeding of cattle. The roots are

IN not being hurried to harvest and
house them as winter is approaching,
they occupy no cellar room, and are
not in danger of being injured in heaps.
From the time that the frost dIsap-
pears from the soil until the cattle are
turned to well grown pasture. they fill
a vacancy which is otherwise too often
supplied with only dry fodder.

FARM NOTES.

DAnsT PRsDUcTs.-FArmsrs s-c wont
10 complain OF small profits when they
get the full market price 81 their pro-
ducts il hand. Ba; 3 very unwise Gus
ton prevails il many dairy districts Of
selling butter and cheese on time, OF q
selling through commission oou=es, 81
the latte, is q still more vicious praetics
than time sales al 4 stipulated price.
Wby should farmers furnish these mid
die men with capital TO do business on
gratuitously2 II Is the merest pretense
that there Is not capital cough 10 han-
die these goods for cash. The grain
crop is not purchased on credit or sold
for farmers or commission. nor Is the
great commerce in live stock carried o.
in this wsy. Every season brings re-
ports of distress among dairy farmers IN
certain districts by the failure OF COM
mission men. 1t Is the fanlt of farmers
that there are so few middle men OF
any safe capital TO do business on. The
ease of obtaining consignments has led
hundreds Of men without capital to SET
up as commission merchants. These
merchants have nothing TO lose, and they
seem TO enjoy handling the capital in
trusted to them by these confiding far
mers, and live on the top shelf till the
difference between their real income
and their expenditures brings them to
the inevitable failure, involving hum
dreds of DAIRY farmers in the loss "a a
large share of the years product OF their
herds. All sorts of excuses are made
for the unfortunate commission mer-
chant, who has lost nothing of his own
except the unmer1ted confidence of the
deluded dairymen. But, astonishing as
it may seem, these dairymeu go right
on the next year, and fGraish capital for
some other adventurer to repeat The
game. Occasionally a shrewd and
business man uses this capt.
tai intrusted to him fairly. and thus
succeeds in establishing safe business
and building up a safe capital. But
this result is rare. All farm products
are better than an uncertain promise TO
pay. Let farmers learn to hold their
products till they can exchange them
for cash.

EARLY SHEEP SHEARING.--Many far
mers are fayoring the eaIlier shearing
of sheep. as enabling them TO get wool
which might otherwise be shed In the
pasture, and as likely to preserve their
flock in better health than if sheariDg
were delayed until June. Here upon
the Agriculturist remarks: "While
this may be true under certain cUndi-
tons, especially such as not Washing
before shearing and the providing
warm shelter for them after shearing,
and even blanketing If there chance to
be an extra cold May storm, soon after
the wool is taken of, yet under reverse
conditions there might be great loss
from the sheep catching cold. Farmers
should not be in too much haste to for
sake customs which they have followed
with success. until they have carefully
studied the requisites to success under
the new plan. The old route is the
safest for those who do not know the
channel in the new.
