road, returned from Dubuque yesterday.
Tuesday they rode over the new strip of
road, the Dubuque u Dakota, recently pur-
chased by the Minnesota d Northwestern,
and they say it is one Of the finest strips of
road in the country. The new road runs
from Sumner a point on the Minnesota d
Northwestern. west to Hampton. a distance
of sixty-three miles, where it connects with
the Central Iowa and runs to Belmont,
twenty-five miles, connecting at that point
with the Mason City Line. The road runs
through a splendid farming country and is
thanked on either side with we'll cultivated
farms. The towns are well established and
of good size. showing that thrift peculiar to
towns surrounded by a rich agricultural
country. A great deal of stock is raised
here and the shipments over the Dubuque
& Dakota road last season amounted to
many thousand carloads. The road will
probably be extended west. but to what
point the officials are not yet giving out.

Don't Eat Raw Pork.

A recent dispatch said: IA German
family Of five persons named Rennett,
in Pine township, partook of almost
raw pork sausages for supper" Trich.
inosis has set in, and they will prob.
ably all die. OF course, the first natur,
al exclamation is, 20, isn't that
sad?" Well, perhaps so, and yet a
feeling Of impatience seems to drown
our sorrow. We have much the same
hardness of heart towards them that
we feel for the man who blows out the
gas or for the one who didn't think
the gun was loaded. People who will
eat raw pork are fit subjects for an
asylum. Trichin@ subsist on pork,
and are not to be blamed for so doing,
as they don't know any better, and
the only danger they run is that of be-.
ing swallowed by some foolish man
or woman too lazy to use cooking
stove. The man who eats pork, how,
ever is different from the trichina
from the fact that he should know
better and is in imminent danger of a
horrible death. Statistics show that
a very large percentage OF American
pork is dangerous if uncooked. In
that fact lies much of the trouble with
Germany and Bismarck. If Germany
always cooked the pork received from
this country there would have been no
deaths from triohinosis. Cook your
pork or don't eat it, is the only safe
instruction in the matter. ......,

A Word for Sheep Raising.

Sheep are recovering from the late
depression of their owners, and those
who sold their hocks forts cents per
head must feel foolish to see the price
now $3.50 to So, and constantly
hardening because owners are not now
willing to sell: Hssheep are apt to be
panic-stricken, so are their owners,
and now that the panic is over will
not sheep-men take warning and get
over this strange foolishness? Figure
it up: 100 sheep at IS cents come
to $75; 400 pounds Of wool at 80
cents is. worth $12O, which pays for
the sheep and leaves SAB with the
sheep still in hand. The sheep are at
leastsworth feeding for themselves. A
farmers family can consume one lamb
a week, equal to twenty pounds of ex-
celleent meat, at the least, and worth
81 to So. The pelt is worth 25 cents,
anyhow. IL the wool be taken to the
mill the farmer can get fine supply Of
cashmere, flannel, blankets, ETC., on
halves. SO. that he can turn his sheep
TO good account with q good profit at
"a value Of 50 per head. Why should
he then throw them away for IS cents:
i good many ex-owners of sheep are
echoing, Why? .s s..S 4. ~

Winter Work.

Winter is the farmers vacation and
yet there is much to be done, beside
sitting at the freside; doing chores,
etc. Let us see, what's to be done!
There is fire-wood to be cut for next
summers use; pruning to be done when
the weather permits; forks, shovels,
rakes, plows, harrows, and other ar
ticles too numerous to mention to be
repaired; new farm gates to be made
and old ones repaired; racks and
troughs to be provided for stock-feed-
ing; pens made ready for early spring
pigs; wagons painted; and all the nuts
carefully tightened; harrow teeth
sharpened and the woodwork painted;
hot-bed frames built, or repaired and
the glass re-puttied; the iron work OF
mower and reaper oiled to prevent
rust; if anything is to be sold sell it and
market it; in fact, the more one thinks
about it, the more he finds to do. The
short winter days can bequite as fully
occupied as those Of summer, provid-
ing there is a disposition to do it.

spots with the naked eye. "A spot
large enough to be seen with the naked
eye must measure 100000 square
miles. How long the sun has given
out heat, astronomers are not, yet

ID Superstit1Ons OF the Sea.

There is q story told by sailors of a
haunted ship that used to sail out Of
Liverpool. The last voyage she made
as an ordinary ship with no ghostly
accompaniment, she had a supercargo
who was violinist. He used to take
his violin and 60 up into the main
crosatrees, where he would sit and
play, his favorite tune being 'The
Girl Left Behind Me-" On this voy-
age the supercargo became insane and
jumped overheard. Ever after that
occurrence on stormy nights, when
wind and waves were high, and the
ship groaned and creaked as she str,lg-
gled through the waves, the Sailors,
floundering about on the dark1 slip
perry decks, heard above the bowling
of the tempest the sound of a violin
playing ''The Girl I Left Behind Me-.
in the main ,crosstrees.a Not many
years ago there died in a little Cape
Cod town q retired sea captain. Once
when he followed the sea he came
across 9 sinking bark off Cape San
Rogue. A gale was blowing at the
time and heavy sea was running.
Added to this night was coming on.
and then the poor wretches begged

fate. The memory of the doomed
crew Of the sinking bark, stretching
their hands out appeahngly and
watching his ship sail away with des-#
pairing eyes and CHASTITY faces, linz
gered with the heartless captain all
the rest Of his life, and IN his declining
days he frequently complained that
the crew Of the bark were haunting
him, and said that some day the YES
sci itself would sail into harbor and
take him away. Ore stormy winter
aftereeon the old man lay on his bed
dying. Just as the ebb tide began to
run he sprang up and shouted:
Don t! dom Il Z Il stand by till morn-

Taken TO their MILK.

Washington letter. The epidemic
CT milk drinking which he's struck New
York City Is not thing new. The New
York papers are blossoming with ac-
counts Of the rage for milk-drinkine
which prevails on Wall street and in
other parts Of the city where no such
thing was heard Of q year ago. It
has been popular here for much
longer time. There are q number of
places in the city which do an inn
mense business in the sale Of milk over
the counter at cents q mug. They
keep cream and buttermilk, too, and
it is no uncommon thing to see your
grave Government officials or frisky
dude from the avenue stroll into these
places and order. his mug of s:.half and:
half" which means mill and cream or
buttermilk and cream mixedyin equal
quantities. At the Capitol restaurants
there is q steady demand for the lac
teal beverages. Only a few days ago
your, correspondent observed Hon. J.
G. Burrows, Of Michigan, fortifying his
voice and stomach with q glass of
cream at the House restaurant and
discussing the silver question, between
swallows, with some seeker for infor-
nation. Among the congressman and
Senators there are anumber who have
developed a fondness Tor this simple
and health-giving beverage. In New
York the thirst for milk seems to be
very strongly marked. A prominent
physician whose practice is largely
among actors said he could explain in
part the reason for this increased con-
sumption of milk. Actors find in its
use stimulant which prevents nerv-
Gus exhaustion and a better reviver
generally than liquor, because it has
no evil after effects. He had prescrib-
ed it's use largely for nervous troubles
of all kinds with excellent results. He
knew, too, of very many physicians
who were persuing the same course.
AS a natural result of this custom of
regular physicians, the drug stores have
now on sale numerous "patent medi-
cines" with high-sounding names which
are nothing but simple compounds OF
milk with some other tonic. Milk can
be had by the glass at most OF the
drug stores that have soda-water
fountains, and many hundred quarts
are daily sold that way in New York
and Brooklyn.

spreaf'it as they draw it on sod

The experience of those who have
used cooked fodder for cattle has not
been satisfactory, as the labor is not
repaid by any benefit gained. But
it is universally admitted by farmers
who have cut hay, straw, and corn
fodder, wetted it, and mixed the
ground feed with it, that a large saw
ing is made, equal in some cases to
one-half or one-third. Not only is
waste avoided but the food is digest
ed more thoroughly, and the gain is
made both ways. If hot water is used
to moisten the feed all the advantages
OF steaming are secured.
Some interesting ex periments have
been made in France on the advant-
ages OF giving water to mich COWS
warmed, instead OF it's natural cold
state. At the agricultural school of
St. Remy, two COWS were fed on the
same food, but one was supplied with
cold water and the other with water
warmed to 113 deg. Fair. The latter
yielded one-third more milk. Veteri-
nary Professor Cornevin has obtained
similar results.
The coplous flow OF tears from a
horses eyes is a symptom of irrita-
ton Of the lachrymal ducts or of in
flammatDn of the eye. The horse
should be protected from the light
and the eye bathed with a solution OF
dram OF sulphate of zinc in a quart
of water. Give the horse four ounces
of EPSON salts daily for q week. A flax
seed put in the eye would act as all
emollient by exuding It's mucilage, and
would thus afford relief.

Miscellaneous Recipes.

To REMoNE VARN1sH.-Wash the
vanished surface with a strong solu-
ton of sal soda, then scrape with
glass and smooth with sandpaper.
For a treatment of inflammation OF
the throat and tonsils, prepare a bot
tie OF salt and water quite strong, and
gargle the throat as low down as pos
sible, two or three times a day, the
first thingin the morning and the last
at night. This will effect cure until
another cold is taken, then it must be
used again.
MAHOGANY SrA1N.-Water, one gal
Ion; madden, eight ounces; fustic, four
ounces; boil. Lay on with brush
while hot, and while wet streak it with
black to vary the grain. This imi-
tates Honduras mahogany. Pine
may be stained to resemble mahogany
thus: Brush two or three times with
q boiling decoction of logwood chips,
dry thoroughly and varnish.
Common wadding we use for COM
forts will heal the very worst burn or
scalded place and quickly take out
the pain. Simply open piece of cot
ton aud put on burnt place. II the
burn is very bad put sweet oil on the
cotton. Do not attempt to take the
cotton off until it comes off itself.
The only dressing it will need is to wet
The cotton with sweet oil. Simply
pour it on the outside. 1t will heal
without scar.
TO PREVENT HAIR FALLING Our
Take a teaspoonful OF lard and two
pinches of yellow snuff, and after mix
ing we'll apply to the head rubbing we'll
into the roots of the hair. This is
an old Scotch remedy and cannot be

Care of Amin ais IN Winter.

The American Humane Association
offers the following suggestions rela-
tive to fowls, horses and cattle to per-
sons having these in charge, in the
the northern latitudes, during the
Winter months:
Do not compel domestic fowls to
roost in trees. Aside from danger of
being captured by owls and other en-
emies, the swaying of the branches up
on which they are sitting will prevent
them from getting rest; while in the
severely cold weather, thus exposed,
feet and combs are frozen
and the bird is so benumbed as to
make it impossible for it to be of much
profit on the farm. Securely shelter
ed from wind and storm, and allowed
to sit on a broad roost, feet are thus
kept warm, refreshing rest is obtained,
and the FOWLS much stronger, healthier
and more profitable to it's owner.
Do not clip horses during the Winter
months. With the same propriety we
might cut the hair from a dos, or shear
sheep at this season of the year.
The argument in behalf of the practice
is that the horse in perspiration will
dry more quickly if the hair is short.
If the animal is thorou ghly blankcted
and kept in sheltered or warm place,
after being driven, no danger results
from perspiration, whatever the length
of hair; while the horse that has been
deprived OF its coat in the Winter
time suffers perpetually while being
exposed to the cold.
1t is cruelty inflicted upon beauti-
full carriage horses for the purpose OF
style. Blessed is the ordinary work
horse, in the Winter time, for, how
ever much it may perspire, it is allow
ed to carry it's it's full growth of hair
during the cold weather.
Do not leave cattle to stand SILVER
ing, while extremities often freeze in the
snowstorms and severe winds of win
ter, when a little time would suffice to
construct Of boards, rails or poles, a
support upon and around which may
be placed hay. straw, or weeds, thus
making q shelter that may comforta-
bly, protect them. Cattle kept in fairly
warm condition throughout the win
ter will, as mixers, give a larger and
better yield of milk, and as beeves will
take on flesh much more rapidly than
if LETT exposed to inclement weather.
Aside from question of humanity,
the more attention and care that is
bestowed upon animals, with view
to their comfort, the more they will be
OF service and a source ofpro6t to their
owners. 49, +. -.s.
