The Right to Shoe.

1t is an ordinary affair in country life
for farmer to discharge a shotgun at
trespassers, and he seems to be unaware
of the fact tibet he can be convicted of
murder in case the shot proves fatal.
The same impression, although in less
degree, prevails in the city There are
thousands of shOpkeepers who would
not scruple to shoot person caught
robbing their till, and as for a house
breaker, there is scarcely one man in
million who would not think himself
justified in shooting down the scoundrel
at sight. Yet little reflection should
convince any one that he has no RICH to
shoot in any of the above cases. The law
on this point is sufficiently Iexpl1cit You
are not to shoot unless In peril of your
life, and not then unless there is no
chance of escape by flight. You may
shoot a burglar or highwayman be
cause you have right to infer that the
burglar or highwayman is armed and
will shoot you, and because you cannot
escape. But you have no right to shoe
the thief whom you may detect in leav-
ing your hall with your overcoat, nor
the pickpocket whom you catch with
his hand in your pocket. The principle
upon which the law is founded is OBJ
viOus. You have a moral and legal
right to defend your life or the life of
fel ow being, but you have no right to
be the Judge and executioner in the case
of a misdemeanOr or felony. The courts
exist for the purpose of Furnishing the
c. times of housebreak ing, felony, thiev-
ing, and fruit stealing, and when YOU
presume punish them you are rightly
amenable to the law. If it were not for
some such provis on, society would fail
into cnaos. -PbsLade 2,hiG Cuil.

SHEEP.-Few are more profitable than
Merino grades, with long wool or down
blood. A stock for winter feeding can
ordinarily be bought we'll this month,
and, with little grain now and. then,
they will turn the wheat and 0at straw
stacks into manure before spring to the
very best advantage.
Cows, for winter mixers, need to be
in good flesh, and to come calving with
open bowels. They should have some
bran and roots to secure this condition
if necessary. When milk can be sold
for town consumption it will bring
double the price it will in summer.
HoRsEs.-When the more pressing
work is over, give ork-horses a 60 q

keep them in good heart. Brood mares
and young stock must be brought into

winter.

Eest profit. The market is usually bet

EIGHT years ago Samuel, the eleven

peddler living near Pittsburgh, disap-
peared, and the neighbors taxed Abra-

no proof against the father, who was

Packing Apples.

"Handle apples as you would handle
eggs" is good advice. Old flour barrels,
unless carefully washed and dried, will
impart a musty flavor to the fruit before
midwinter, especially if the air in the
cellar is moist The first apples which
are put in market barrels should be
'faced." The facing consists in placing
two or three layers on the lower head
with stems down; that is, with the
stems pointing towards the head. Clean,
bright apples of ordinary size, should
be selected for this purpose. The rest
of the apples may be poured into the
barrel. This pouring, if properly done,
will not injure the apples. Eggs can
be poured. Use II basket with a swing
ing handle, one which can be lowered
into tt barrel and turned while there,
and hold the apples back with the hand,
so that they will not pour out too rap.
idly. Two or three times during the
filing shake the barrel gently to settle
the apples firmly. Face the upper head
IN the same manner as the lower one. 1t
is desirable not to head up the barrel at
once. Cover with boards to keep out
the rain, and let the barrels stand open
four or five days. 1t is not, however, al
ways possible to cover the barrels, in
which case they may be headed up at
once and turned down on their sides.
In this condition they will shed water

Orchard Experience.

In the last Thirty years I have raised
four small apple orchards planted at
different times. l allowed the trees of
the first to branch at about six feet from
the ground, trimmed the suckers out
each year, but never cut any limbs.
The thirty-fve trees are all there exec Ut
two: are fine tree, and have borne large
and fine crops. The trees are thirty
feet apart; they should have been thirty
six. When full of apples the lower
limbs touch the ground. The second
orchard was farmed aid MANFRED for
ten years after planting, except three
rows of trees set along side of it; that
part was farMed in a rotation-corn,
oats, wheat and grass for three years.
and the trees grew as well as the others !;
also another small o. chard planted later
From experience and observation l
would say to those planting for an or
chard:
Plow the land in the spring. Get
your trees from a nearby nursery, and
plant as early as you can, thirty-siX feet
apart. Do not allow a branch less than
SIX feet from the ground, if you do they
will be in the way farming, and when

ground and you can't get under them or
in the orchard with wagon. Then if,
as many who do allow the limbs to
grow low, they are cut off, they will rot
into the tree. And if you want your
trees to live do not thin out the tops.
Wherever see orchards that are trim
med much the trees soon die; but where
the tops are allowed to grow thick the
trees live and florish. Some orchards
here are eighty years old; the few trees
that died had few branches, the Kings,

lies just ahead of every manly lie; that
there is a safe, sure path that leads

set forth 50 beautifully by General Lew
Wallace in Ben Hur, in that sentence
which no one having heard is likely to
forget, where he SAYS, "God could not

the mother and her son can have the I'M

such things; keep that to yourself
The day turned to darkness, and l felt
as if l had put off on an unknown sea,
and l had no guide, no firm hand upon

In contrast to that, how many of the
women in the white ribbon army have
had to say to me, ''my boy is my
pride and my glory, because he and l
have talked over subjects sure to be
talked over somewhere, because l have
answered the questions he was sure to
ask, and which somebody was certain
to reply to, because 1 keyed the whole
theme up to the heights OF holiness and
purity and Christ. My boy when he
hears the common school boy talk on
the play ground, or in the alley, comes
to me and says, mother. l wont hear it;
they sha'nt say such things in my pres

Doyhood and young manhood, and
thank God the middle wall of partition
between so many mothers and boys

FARM AND GARDEN.
seasonabIe Notes For Work on the Farm.

[From the American Agriculturist for oct.l
What a busy month we have before
US. Let us hope for good weather. We
may, perhaps, be behind hand with our
work. The corn may not all be cut up,
and if frosts hold off it may get no harm ;
but one sharp frost will do t G fodder
great damage. We must be prepared
for a swapping frost, and hope for
long ''speIl'' of fine weather.
WINTER GRAINS. Over a large part
of the country wheat should have been
sown in September; nevertheless, on
good ground, an excellent crop is often
made, though the seed be sown as late
as the middle of the month. Late sown
grain requires heavier seeding. Wheat
is especially responsive to good surface
tillage, and top-dressing of some slim
ulating fertilizer, like guano or nitrate
of soda, applied after the crop has be-
gun to show its color, is ordinarily OF
great advantage.
NITRATE OF SODA, applied in the au-
tumn upon grain, should be very evenly
distributed and applied when the ground
is wet-if possible, during a rain.
URASS. COW Oh WlnteI gram anu
brush in. Timothy is almost universally
sown. Try orchard and rye grass, each
by itself, sowing clover in the spring.
RYE ordinarily is sown later than
wheat. 1t does not matter much, but its
season is longer and the plant is strong
er. 1t will make crop on poorer land.
1t should, however, be in before the end
of the month.
CoRN.-It is hazardous to let corn
stand day after October comes in.
Killing frosts damage the fodder. When
the fodder is fed off the ground it is not
valued as it should be- Corn-stalks cut
a foot long are of three times the value
as manure in the barnyard that they are
in the field under any circumstances.
Husking can go on as soon as the ears
are dry enough not to heat in the crib.
POTATOES should be dug without de-
lay. The cold of the nights will sug-
gest that the heaps in the field, if left to
dry, should be projected by tops or sack
ing from dew, frost and sunshine. They
may be pitted or marketed, according to
Judgment. If a paying price can be
realized, let the spectators hold them
if not, pit them and hold them your
self.
