MADAME FRY's CONCERT. From the
tenor of the comments of the Minnesota
press, wherever this popular troupe has
given one Of their entertainments, we are
assured that the concert to be given in the
Opera House. Thursday evening, Septem-
Der "a, will he the best we have had for
long time, Madame ClaraLouise Kel-
loge excepted. The St. Cloud Journal
Press speaks editorially as follow:
The concert at the Opera House Thurs
day evening by Madame Fry and daugh
tiers was one of the best musical enter
tainments ever given in St. Cloud. The
musical ability of Madame Fry and her
three daughters is phenomenal. They
seem perfectly saturated with music. and
no matter what instrument they may
choose, it pours forth the sweetest of har-
monies. The most enjoyable feature of
the evening to many was the rendering
of the vocal quartette and its encore,
which were enriched with all of the fine
shading in tone and harmony used by
the same four in their instrumental our
tettes. while the voice of Madame Fry
herself seemed strangely enough to be al
most reproduction of the tone OF her
violincello.
Our citizens will have the privilege Of
hearing these artists for the popular
price of 80 cents. Reserved seats. for
sale at Mills & Johnson's on and after
Monday morning, without extra charge.
An occasion of peculiar interest oc-
Cured Friday evening, in the Congrega
tional church uf Austin. in memorial
services complimentary to Mr.. Harlan
W. Page. the retiring Superintendent of
the Sunday School. For 10 years he has
held the position with exceptional eff
cheney and honor, and the expressions of
appreciation and affection were cores
pondinglv warm.
Andrew Knox, one of the oldest teach
ers, in behalf Of the teachers, uttered ex
pressions of commentator of the tidcl-
| lty and skill of Mr. Page in the discharge
Of his duties as Superintendent.
Calvin Decker spoke very appropriately
in behalf of the young people.
Three young girls, Ethel Fleck, Nellie
Hutchins and Florence Cook, spoke for
the little ones.
Rev. G. Z. Wright, in his remarks, re-
ferred to Mr. Pages long connection with
the school, and his great success in his
favorite work.
Mr.. Page then responded, saying many
interesting and touching things in regard
to his service in the school. He said, as
he came into the church, and looked
about, everything seemed to say loue. 1t
was a noticeable fact that each and all of
the notices contained this word He
thanked the school for the beautiful
gold Waltham watch, valued at 800,
which had been presented to him that af-
ternoon.
The choir furnished, as usual, excellent
music.
Mr.. Page retired from the position he
has filled SO long and ably, with the kind
wishes not only of the school he has
served so well. but Of the entire commun-
ity. where his life and example has al
ways been that of the christian gentle
man

Take Care of Your Animals.

Live stock are to be our especial
watch and care for the coming months
at least, We need to Winter them as
economically as possible, yet have them
all the time gaining. No animal is
profitable at a standstill. Stock Win
tered on the warmest side of corn-
stack, and coming out "spring-poor,"
turns during the Summer AT this
season, look especially TO the comfort
ableness of their quarters, that they
may be easily cleaned, warm, and we'll
aired when needed. Alterations that
will facilitate foddering, littering, and
clearing out, should be planned and
carried out at once. Tight board walls,
or any others, are a much cheaper
source of warmth than much feeding,
so far as neat cattle, horses in use, pigs,
and poultry are concerned. Horses
and sheep with comfortable shelter, out
of the rain, and well rooted, will bear
any degree of cold they are likely to
be subject to, if they have enough to
eat, and the question of economy de-
pends on the price of hay and corn,
and of hemlock boards. Food con-
sumed merely to maintain animal heat.
deducting the value of the resulting
manure, is a dead loss. Beeves, sheep,
and pigs gain very rapidly if well fed
this month. The bracing air sharpens
appetites, and the variety of rich feed
is greater now than at any other time
of the year. They should be crowded,
but not over-fed.-MAsoN G. WELD in

FITTING Cabbages for the Winter.

In the usual way of keeping cabbage n
winter, there is considerable loss by freez-
ing and decay. In attempting to avoid
this waste, we have tried with success the
method of piIting here described. A long
pit three feet deep, and little wider Git
may be made as wide as desirable), was
dug out on part of the field where the
soil was dry and sandy, and there was no
danger that water would enter. The bot
tom of the pit was loosened up, so that the
first tier of cabbages were planted in it, the
stems being set so deep that the heads rest
ed on the soil. The cabbages of the next
tier were set alternately between the lower
ones, haying the roots partly in the soil.
A third tier was placed on the second, but
reversed, with the roots upwards. All the
soft heads were put at the top. Straw was
laid between the stems, leaving the roots
burying the roots three or four inches. In
pulling cabbages, the roots were all taken
up with them and cut off, A covering of
boards was laid on the pit, to shed rain.
In the spring these cabbages came out in
the best condition ; the soft heads had fill
ed up, and none of the cabbages had been
frozen. The pit was filled with selected
cabbages, with the intention of keeping
them for the spring. The same plan has
been tried for several years, and always
with satisfaction. Neighboring farmers
have adopted it, and continue to use it in
preference to any other method.-American

Keeping Celery In winter.

There are several methods of prese rving
celery for winter use, all of which are easy
and satisfactory-on paperl In looking
back over the last twenty-five years, we
can recall more than one failure, even
when the best methods were adopted. In
spite of all that is said to the contrary, it
is not practically such an easy matter to
preserve celery in the best condition, as
one would imagine from the books. 1t is
an exceedingly easy matter to make mis-
take. You should attend to every detail,
and either do the work yourself, or see
that it is carefully and properly done. l
have great faith in the power of loose, dry
earth, to keep out frost. Firm, unbroken
earth, II not covered with snow, will freeze
TO considerable depth, and so before
making the trench for the celery plants, we
plOw the soil three or four yards wide,
leaving dead-furrow in the centre. We
plow at least three times, sticking the plow
in the second or third time almost up to
the beam. This repeated plowing leaves a
mass of fine, loose, mellow soil on each
side of the trench. AT the bottom Of this
dCad-furrow dig out trench a foot or fif-
teen inches wide, and set in the celery
plants us in the former case. We draw the
celery plants on stone-bOats to the trenches.
And in taking them up, we leave consider
able sell adhering TO tho roots. Do not
bruiso The celery, and If any of the leaves
are touched with frost, cut of the parts af-
fccted II is much easier 10 keep out de-
cay, than to stop it after ii has started
With an abundance of loose, fine earth all
around the trench, nothing is easier than
TO Place the plants nicely and properly in
the trench with little earth between them.

How Many Eggs Will Hen Lay 2

We often read of hens that lay 200
eggs a year, says the Earn, and Gard
en-, but such statements do more harm
than good, by inducing the inexper-
fenced to believe such to be fact. Any
one who is familiar at all with poultry
knows that during the fall all hens un-
dergo the process of moulting or she'd
ding Of feathers. This requires usual
ly about three months, or one hundred
days. AS there are only 365 days in
q year, we have 265 left after deduct.
ing the moulting period. If a hen lays
regularly an egg every other day she
will lay 1873 eggs; but she will probab-
ly loose three mouths in Matching out
her broods even if she is a non-sitter
she will take resting place. AS mott
ing is heavy drain on the system,
but few hens lay during that process,
though there are exceptions, and where
the number of eggs exceed one every
two days, it will be found that a cor
responding reduction occurs during
some portion of the year. While we
admit that certain individual hens
have been known to lay as many as
$50 to even 175 eggs in year, such
cases are rare and if one has flock
of twenty hens or more he should be
satisfied if there is an average of one
hundrde eggs year for each one of
the whole flock, or rather nine
dozen. -Four dozen out of the
nine should realize thirty cents per
dozen, three dozen should bring
about twenty cents per dozen,
and two dozen should realize fifteen
cents per dozen, or an average of about
twenty-three cents. OF course this
calcuation may be wrong, but it will
convey an idea of what may be expect
ed.

Tattening Sheep in Winter.

Comparatively few farmers succeed
in fattening sheep in Winter. A
neighbor told me the other day that
last Fall he bought one hundred and
fifty sheep, fed them straw, hay, corn
stalks, and grain, all Winter, and sold
them for forty-tive dollars more than
he paid for them. 81 got lot Of good
manure" he said, "and that and the
forty-live dollars is all | have to show
for the feed and labor. 1t does not
pay"
If you can buy sheep in the Fall for
three ccits n p md, it will pay. 1t
will pay still better To buy them for
four cents, and sell them for eight
cents per pound. We can sometimes
do even better than this. Ono thing is
certain: it does not pay to try to fattcn
poor sheep in Winter If sheep are
not in good growing condition in the
Fall, get rid Of them
If yon are going TO buy sheep to
fatten, select the very best that can
be found. You do not want old sheep,
and You do not want lambs. II the
sheep are lonC-w ool, or Southdown
grades, select those that are yeailines,
or two-year-olds; il merino grades, then
year.old wetheis are best Buy more
than you want, if need be, and select
out the best to keep over Winter, and
sell the poor ones now for what you
can get. Careful selection is the main
point.
With good sheep, liberal and regu-
lar feeding, dry, comfortable quarters,
fresh water every day, and salt once n
week, fattening sheep in Winter is de
cidcdly profitable to the farmer and
beneficial to the farm. In other words,
it will provide both money and manure
