the case of the young stock roots with
out ensilage may be fed cooked If they
are old enough to eat well. The diet
ing of young stock by feeding variety
of food as they are gradually weaned
will save them much sickness, as they
are easily affected by sudden changes.
During the winter months much
time may be saved by keeping the
young stock in good condition, as
they will start off in the spring with
an advantage which will more than
compensate for whatever extra care
may be given. AS the winter is not
over when the early lambs are dropped,
d place must be provided in advance
for the ewes. To have the lambs
dropped in the fields, with the tenn
perature below freezing, is very severe
on them, and those that dOnot perish
seldom recover entirely. Give the
lambs warm dry place for the first
few days of their existence and one
half the trouble with them will be
over. Young pigs are very tender,
and if narrowed in midwinter seldom
prove satisfactory afterward unless
an attendant gives them close atten-
ton for the first week, as they easily
become 80 chilled as to be unable to
derive nourishment, and as there are
usually few strong pigs in every
litter the weaker ones are crowded
back, becoming subject to the severity
of the cold on account of an INSULT
Gent supply of nourishment, and as
all young animals are subject to COM
petition when together, they should
never be crowded at any time.

The Onion as n Cure.AlI,

We have received the following with
an urgent request for publication:
From the Reading Daily Eagle.
Onions inhaled cause sleep, rest and
repose. The soldier on his march and
the exhausted iron worker get great
strength from eating the onion. Tie
g. fresh onion around the neck and
bruise it to make it's odor thorough,
and you secure sound sleep from it's
nightly inhalation.

Alfalfa. or Lucerne.

In California, alfalfa, or as it is
sometimes called, "ChIlian clover" is
the mainstay of the stock raisers, and
with irrigation produces enormous
crops, which are cut twice and some
Times three times n year in those
secEions where there is winter only in
name. 1t is somewhat strange that
although we'll known European crop,
under the name OF lHcerne, it has
never beep grown to any great extent
in the older settled parts Of the United
States. One reason, perhaps, is that
it does not flourish we'll in those lands
so common in New England and the
Atlantic slope, having a light soil,
with poor sandy, gravelly or stony
subsoil, as it's roots penetrate deep,
often to the depth Of a dozen feet. \
Like clover, it draws largely upon
the atmosphere and it's wide-spreading
roots enrich the soil with vegetable
matter. 1t is planted in, drills on pre-
pared land, cut lightly the first year,
is in full bearing the third, and may
afterward yield three, and sometimes
five crops annually, depending on the
warmth of the climate, the rainfall,
&c.
Alfalfe, with little pains taken,

and we see no reasorghy it couldnot
be introduced to great dyantage

windows should only be opened late
at night-the last thing before retiring
There is no need to fear that the night
air is unhealthful; it is as pure as the
air of midday, and is really dryer.
The cool air enters the apartment
during the night and circulates through
it. The windows should be closed be-
fore sunrise in the morning, and kept
closed and shaded during the day. II
the air of cellar is damp it may be
thoroughly dried by placing in it q
peck of fresh limei an open box. A
peck of lime will absorb about seven
pounds, or more than three quarts,
of water, and in this way cellar or
milk-room may soon be dried, even in
the hottest weather. A bushel oflime
absorbs twenty-seven pounds of water
and still appears as a dry powder:
In this condition it will be very useful
to spread over the garden or lawn, or
around fruit trees, or it may be used
for whitewash. This precaution is
often necessary in the dairy, because
OF the prevalence, where air is damp,
of mildews and the various forms of
mold. The orange and red kinds OF
mold especially, which sometimes
form upon the cream, have a most in
furious effect upon the butter.

"Let us hope" said Nine. Durand,
that he will not keep us waiting long"

"He will not come back?"
"Most assuredly not. To go to

Care OF the Finger Nails.
From the Cleveland Plaindealer.

From the Cleveland Plaindealer.
In order to have q pretty-looking
hand the finger nails must be kept in
good shape. They should never be
cut too short, as this deforms the fin
ger ends and renders them stubby.
They should always project a trifie
beyond the extremity OF the finger,
and be paired only to slight curve,
without encroaching too much on the
angles. To preserve the half moon,
or lunula, which borders the lower
part of the nail, and is thought agreat
beauty, the skin must be kept from
encroaching upon it, by pushing it
back every morning with blunt ivory
instrument. BY this means the an
noying hang-nail will be prevented al
so. Filing or scraping the nails is very
injurious, as it tends to thicken their
substance. The nailbrush should
alone be used for cleaning and polish
ing the nails.

Water Regularly.
American Rural Home.

American Rural Home.
Regularity in all departments con-
nected with the care and management
OF poultry is absolutely necessary to
insure success when other things are
favorable, and in no one thing is it more
true than in watering regularly. While
most of our poultry, whether thor
oughbred and reared in small flocks
with extra care, or whether they be
the large and we'll mixed focks to be
found OH the places of our thrifty and
well-to-do farmers, are generously sup
piled with food, scarcely any atten-
ton is paid to supplying them with
pure fresh water daily, in winter
as we'll as summer. All live stock
requires water each day, and it is not
only cruel, but it is Improbable to de-
prive them of it. Many a farmers
flock has to wait during the winter for
the rains and SHOWS to get drink,
while other f1ocks resort to the pools
of manure water in and around the
barnyard, because their owners are
too careless and Indifferent as to their
actual wants and necessities. II con-
fined during the warm weather, by all
means do not neglect them in this re-
spect, for nothing can be more cruel.
If breeder only makes it part of the
regular routine of management, this
watering the fowls each day, it will be
found very light task indeed, while
the fowls will thank you in many ways
for your attention. We beg of those
poultry breeders who are remiss in re-
gard to this matter, to act on our adj
vie and water regularly daily.

Regulating the Cellar.
merriam Apric1lturist.

American Agriculturist.
A great mistake is sometimes made
in ventilating cellars and milk-houses.
The object of ventilation is to keep
the cellars cool and dry, but this OBJ
ject often fails of being accomplished by
a common mistake, and instead the
cellar is made both warm and damp.
A cool place should never be ventilat-
ed, unless the air admitted is cooler
than the air within, or is at least as
cool as that or very little warmer.
The warmer the air the more moisture
it holds in suspension. Necessarily,
the cooler the air the more this moist
ure is condensed and precipitated.
When q cool cellar is aired on warm
day, the entering air being in motion
appears cool; but as it fills the cellar
the cooler air with which it becomes
mixed chills it, the moisture is con-
densed, and dew is deposited on the
cold walls, and may often he seen run.

A COmical Mistake,

The Boston Budget tells q comical
story about achurchman ofthat city.
He was selecting library for his
Sunday school, and among other re-
ligious works determined to have a
full set of the Olives of the SAINTS"
He thought he had secured all the
volumes, when suddenly his eye lit
upon book which bore on its back
the legend, "St. Elmo" 1t was not
uniform with the rest, and referred to
a sanity character with which he was
not familiar, but he did not wish to
show his ignorance. He therefore
ordered the bookseller to put it in the
box of holy literary treasures which
was to be sent home the next day. II

readable, though possibly not so pious.

How to Keep Stock in Condition.

From the American Agriculturist.
Young animals at this season are
very susceptible to cold and damp
ness, and any check through failure
to supply sufficiency OF food at regu-
lar period, or exposure to wet and
| cold, may produce injurious results.
Young colts at this season should be
allowed to remain with their dams
as long as they will suckle, as but little
work is required of breeding mares
during the winter, and ifthe mares
give large quantities of milk the colts
will grow rapidly. Where the young
stock is dependent upon the dams
the food must be of kind that pro-
duces milk rich in all the elements
necessary for structural growth.
Ground oats twice a day, with a plen-
tiful supply of hay, will afford an
abundant amount of nourishment in
the shape of milk, and on cold days
an allowance of corn meal may be
given with advantage.
Young calves are often deprived of
the milk that naturally should go to
Cu0Ili, OWIuS " lCS NdiliC AOA AhS'A NCOJ
substitutes being given them the skim
milk usually allowed. Unless judg-
ment is exercised in feeding the calves
scours will result, from the effects of
which the calves do not recover until
they have been seriously injured in
growth. Young pigs that have been
suddenly weaned, and especially if
taken from the sows too soon, are often
.'stunted" in such manner as to debar
them from becoming large, heavy hogs
at any time. 1t is important to be
careful in winter, for the reason that
when the young stock is weakened
through mistakes in feeding the cold
weather often comes upon them at
time when they are physically unable
to endure it.
1t is best not to wean the young
stock too soon, but, if it becomes nee
essary to do so, the feeding should be
done often, and, if possible, the food
should be warm. The younger an
animal the more rapid its growth and
the more frequent It's times OF feeding;
hence, when they are allowed only
three meals day, the same as the
adults, they do not thrive as they do
when fed oftener and in smaller guam
titles. Dieting the animals is necessary
in winter, in order to avoid costive-
ness OF the bowels, as well as indiges-
ton, and therefore the adults and
young stock should receive succulent
food, such as ensilage or roots, but In

The Annual TrOt.

The American Rural Home.
The trotters IN their annual circuit
have reached Rochester, accompanied
by their usual followers, who expect
to win money either by betting on the
races, by operating gambling ma
chimes, or in various other ways not
justified by the accepted code OF NOR
ais, or conducive to the welfare of So
ciety.
Wherever groups of young men
gathered you could hear them discuss
ing the merits of the different horses,
the probabilities of the varios trots
to come off, and Boosting of the win
nings in the pools. Pools were sold in
numerous drinking places, and the
( flushed and excited faces OF young
inen, passing in and out, did not
sneak we'll for their influences upon
them. 1t is perfectly safe to say that
g. great deal of valuable time was
wasted in Rochester upon the trots,
and that they did not contribute in
any great degree to the intellectual or
moral elevation of our citizens.
1t is said by apologists for the trot-
ting and race courses, that they are
necessary to stimulate the breeding OF
thorough bred, fast horses. But what
valuable end is promoted by breeding
such horses as contend for prizes on
the T. * Citing courset are they the
kind of horses required for service ~
farmers, or any other class of citizens
except sporting men, class, we sub
NIT, that does not contribute much to
the worlds greatness.
In breeding trotters, all important
qualities save fleetness are bred out.
A great trotter is worth nothing for
work or for service on the road. They
have not the strength and endurance
to travel great distances daily, draw
ing a load behind them. Before a
skeleton gig, on a squirt of few miles,
they can get over the ground with the
speed of hare Or a greyhound, but
that is all. What the farmer or mer
chant or professional man wants is a
good, strong, fleet carriage horse, with
great powers of endurance, we'll built
upon models of symmetry and
beauty. The trotter is the gamblers,
the Jockeys horse, in which the
great mass of mankind have but
little interest. We do not want
horses travelling our streets and parks
and highways at the rate of mile in
2:15 or or 2:4O, or even three minutes,
endangering the lives OF citizens, but
horses that can strike gait of ten
miles an hour and keepit up for sever
al successive hours, with our families
in carriage behind them, without ap-
pearing exhausted; such horses are ap-
preciated by all classes. Such driving
does not endanger the lives of those
we meet, or those we pass, while it az
lords much innocent enjoyment.
To breed such horses requires care
full selection, perRevered in for many
years, of horses possessing a combina-
ton of many excellent qualities, and
such horses will sell for prices that
will we'll compensate the scientific
breeder. Let us all join in encourag-
ing the breeding of such horses, while
we discourage and condemn the breed
ing of the long, lank, crooked, ugly
trotter.

WHERE 1T DOES THE MOST GOOD.

Lille.
There's a great deal Of bliss in lingering
kiss,
And oceans OF solid rapture;
There are lots of fun in q stolen one
Ifyou are clever about the capture.
The cutest trick in kiss that's quick
Is to put it where it belongs;
To see that it goes below the nose
And knocks ut the gate OF songs.
A kiss that is cold may do for the old,
Or pass with near relation;
But one like that is a work-that's flat
OF supererogation.
Ifyou're going to kiss be sure OF this
That the girl has got some heart in her;
! wouldn't give a darn for the full ola barn
OF kisses without partner.
The point OF this rhyme is to take your
time;
Kiss slowly, and do it neatly,
If you do the thing right and are hallway
bright,
You can win her sweet heart completely.

THE ROAD TO VICTORY,

There is only one thing between the Repub-
licans of Indiana and success on Tuesday of
next week, and that is the apparent apathy in
certain localities which threatens shrinkage
in the aggregate vote cast With anything
like full vote polled, the Democratic party
will be defeated all along the line without
question. The Journal would not say this to
the Republicans of the State unless it believed
it, and had good reason for the faith it ex-
presses. The reasons we have endeavored to
set forth throughout the canvass are potent
enough to give Republicans glorious victory
if they will only summon their full energy to
the task of winning it. IF Democracy sue
ceeds it viii be only and purely because Re-
publicans have rested at ease and permitted
them to steal the result of the election.
AS the Journal said one week ago, Repub-
licans must not rely too much upon Demo
cratic disaffection. There is a great deal
of that, and 1t is no small factor to be counted
when summing up the probabilities. But it
will not do to depend upon that altogether.
This Democratic disaffection will work its
own way in the campaign and bring forth its
own fruits on election day. What Repub-
licans must do is to get out their full vote in
every precinct. Every effort should be made
to this end from this day forward, until the
ballots have been cast and the result de-
clared. Leave nothing to chance, nothing to
expectation. Local committees, aided and
supplemented by individual Republicans
the State over, should at once perfect
complete arrangements for canvassing every
voter in their counties, townships, school dis
tricts and precincts, and see that each and
every vote is cast, and then stand by to see
that no scheme Of fraud, set afoot here at the
capital, or at some of the other centers of cor
ruption, shall vitiate the verdict of the ballot
box as honestly returned by the honest legal
voters.
Shall there not be this full vote, and this
eager alert determination to have an honest
election, and fair and honest count and re-
turn9 Organize everywhere for this. Let
the whole week be given to this one work;
and as the result shows that Republicans have
or have not voted, so will the announcement
be on Wednesday next of Republican success
or failure

DemOcratic vote Of the State and perpetuat.

Democratic vote of the Estate and perpetual
ing the Democratic party in power?
Is it "a false issue" that, because of this
gerrymander. unless 1t be overthrown and re-
pudiated by the people, an equal ballot is de-
stroyed in Indiana as effectually as by muir
der and the tissue ballot in the South; the
condition of the State treasury cannot be
inquired into, and the benevolent institutions
must continue to be the foul nests of partisan
fraud, and bestiality, and mismanagement9
If these be 'false issues then the Sentinel
is right in charging that the Journal is trying
to conduct the campaign upon their basis.
But we believe the people of Indiana will con-
clude that these are the true and vital issues
Of the canvass and will so vote, on Tuesday
of next week, as to show that they propose
that there shall be change.
