Farm and Garden.

Gard the oxen well.
 A few potatoes will suit sheep
 Look after the live stock closely.
 A shivering calf is pitiable object.
 Large sized breeds of fowls should have low roosts.
 Throwing fodder on the ground is very wasteful always.
 Hens at just beyond two years old begin to pass out of their prime.
 When ice is six inches thick harvest; de. lays are dangerous.
 Give your fowls good care and our word for it you may laugh at most kinds of dis eases.
 It is worse than nonsense to think that ex- posture makes the animals hardy. The act is cruelty.
 Because farm horses now have quiet time is no good reason for slackening up in the care of them. Get "a few turns ahead'' for the extra strain of spring work by put ting them in condition for it now.
 If mice are troublesome in the root cellars or piles clean them out by dose made as follows: Take some peas, soak in water till they swell, then roll in arsenic and bury very shallow in light earth. These they will devour in preference to plants and yegeta- bles, to your gain.
 Whenever there is any surplus honey comb around at this season it should be ex- posed to hard cold in order that the eggs of the moth miller may be frozen. Comb should also be kept out of the way of rats and mice, for these when hard pressed for food, as they are now liable to be, will de- your the comb.
 Cows.-Those coming in soon should have some special care. The dry feed of the sea- son, if used alone, renders the animals very liable to infammatory diseases. The blood needs cooling by laxative food. One quart of oil cake meal mixed with bran scalded and given as drink once day will be use- ful. No corn should be given for several weeks before calving. If good hay is fed very little gain of any kind will be needed An overfed condition is liable to induce gar get milk fever, abortion and such like trou- bles. When the calf is expected the COW should be kept in an open box-stall or else in a quiet stable alone.
 Early Chickens.-No trouble is ever found in turning early matched chickens to a very profitable account. For marketing, when weighing from two to four pounds per pair, they go off readily at high rates, sometimes retailing for s1. 50 per pair in good markets. Then if the prices are not too tempting to take you beyond the cockerels for early mar keting, by keeping the bullets through, they will commence laying in September or there abouts-sometimes earlier, and continue to do so right through the winter with the most ordinary fair treatment But much depends upon the care of the early chicks The best food for those at the start, according to our experience, IS stale bread crumbs moistened very slightly in sweet milk. But little corn meal should be fed until they have become fully feathered, and that should be well cooled. We are strong advocates of making sweet milk leading article offered for early chicks after they are some weeks old. In feeding this must not be allowed to sour, us this would disturb the digestive organs, n thing to be scrupulously avoided if we would have broilers by asparagus time or very soon

Consumption
 Conquered l! WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE.
CHAS. A. CABRERA, g Eawley Street, l

CHAS. A. CABRERA, g Eawley Street, Boston, Mass, writes:
 Zone year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit Finally, as last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial The very first dose gave relief, and with the first bottle l took new lease of life, and can honestly say to-day that one spoonful of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold I fly to it for the relief it never fails to give"
 DR. FLOWERS LUNG COR DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. 1t stands without 8 rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.

AConvIvial Irish Judge.

London Correspondence of Philadelphia Press. Wit has not died out in Ireland. Judge Keogh, who, by the way, was hated of all men in Ireland, was one day adjudicating in a case, the point of which had reference to document that the defense eudeavore1 to show had been signed when prosecutor was drunk. Under cross examination the follow Ing dialogue took place in court:- The defending barrister: Now, sir, will you tell his lordship what you had to drink on that occasion before you signed the doe ument?'' "Indeed, your honor," said the witness 1T don't think gentleman need say what he had to drink for dinner" q think you are bound to answer the ques- tion," said Judge Keogh, solemnly. 'Did you take sherry, sirl" demanded the barrister.
 ''Well yes. I had couple of glasses of sherry" ''And did you take claret and champagner' ''No, don't drink either," was the an swer ''Now, sir, after dinner did you have some whiskey?" Certainly had some whiskey." | "Now, on your oath, did you have three glasses of whiskey?" uuSt dppeti tO your All l to answer the question:" "Yes, answered Keogh, with laugh, "I think you are" 'Very we1l," replied the witness, T | had three glasses of~whiskey." ''Now, sir, will you say it was not fvel" ''Again I appeal to your lordship," said the witness, and meeting with no answer, said:- "Well, yes, it was i've" ''Will you swear, slr it was Tot 1O." A mute glance of appeal toward the bench, and then came the answer: ''I will not swear" ''Upon your oath, was it not 15!'' ''Well, yes; it was 15." "Now then, sir, l ask you was it not POP" l ''No sir, it was not 20?" 'sOh, Oh," said the barrister ''Here is a gentleman who drinks two glasses of sherry at dinner aud admits having had 15 tumblers of whiskey, and yet is able to remember that he did not take 20. Now, sir, how do you recollect it was not 2G!'' "Why, then, I'll tell you," and, turning to the judge, the witness said: "You will re- member, your honor, coming downstairs, l
 said to you, I have had IS tulnblers of whiskey,' and you said, Then have beat en you for I've had 20s'

Mrs. /erelda q. Wallace on Temperance
and Woman's Suffrage sunday Eveningp

There was very large congregation at
the Methodist church Sunday to hear
Mrs, Xerelda q, Wallace, the mother of
Gen. Lew Wallace, speak on temperance,
the College street Congregational church
uniting with the Methodist church in the
service. Mrs. f.. b. Lund of this city,
president of the W. c. 4. T., introduced
Mrs. Wallace as one of the charter mem
bers of the W. c. T. T., and woman
who had given the most of a long life to
ministering to humanity. Mrs. Wallace
spoke at length upon the subjects of tenn
perance and WOman's suffrage in an en-.
tertainlng way ana with voice as strong
and clear As Il woman of 10, though she
herself Is well past three score years and
ten. She said she had strong hopes that,
as New England was the birthplace and
cradle of liberty first for the white man and
then to the black, it would now be the
cradle of liberty for woman. The position
of the organization of which Mrs. Wallace
was member, in Indiana, was defined
She related the way the national party con
ventiOns received the petitions fOratempcr-
ance plank in their platforms, made by
the national w. c. II. u. land drew the con
clusion theretrom that the only hope of
Temperance legislation lay with third
party. Mrs. Wallace then made strong
plea for woman's suffrage. She thought

bore testimony to the fact that womaus
influence was for purity, and that, as man
had proven himself unequal to the task of
coping with the voice of intemperance, he
needed woman's aid, which could be most
efficiently rendered by the ballot. She
certainly ought not to be degraded below
the level of paupers, IDIOTS, aud children.
Most of the grief and woe of intemper-
ance falls upon woman, and she was en-
titled to have her influence counted in bal
lot against it,

attention throughout her entire discourse

TIE LUMBER TRADE,



One of the leading lumber dealers of
The city In speaking Of the present state
OF the lumber market, said that the prices
of lumber here were not raised by the adj
vance of one dollar recently reported to
have taken place in Albany. The only
influence which it would have, would be
to stiffen the lumber market everywhere.
The action was taken to cover a rise of
sl25 per thousand on western freiphts,
and was, in fact, stronger on paper than
anywhere else While the mills at pres
ent were not running at their full cApac-
lty, they mad moderate amount of
business, and would probably soon have
more, since the present dizziness was
proceeded by Il period of briskness. 1t was
TINS gentlcman's opinion that the recent
heaNy defalcations following close on the
facilitating labor troubles and strikes,
were largely accountable tor the present
situation. People had neither confidence
IN labor nor capital and rather than build,
would keep their money where their
nandS could he laid on il Immediately. The
lumber trade in Canada and the West is
good and the commodity brings fair
prices. Such being the case there is A
reasonable hope that the activity may
extend eastward and southwark, and that
the fall ana winter trade may be up to
the average OF past seasons.
Lumber Receipts.

ceipt Of ~ lumber barges during the

ably more lumber was received, though
