Broken Rails in Winter.

A practical railroad engineer of ex-
tensive observation and experience
writes in answer TO the question
whether frost weakens rails that, con-
trary to what is commonly held in re-
gard to this point a low temperature
does not decrease the strength of rails.
though accidents are more likely to
occur from broken rails in cold wealth
er. The reason given for this latter
fact is that the ground, when frozen
solid, is rigid, losing the elasticity
which acts as safeguard in fine
weather, and thus, when train runs
on such a road-bed, something must
yield. and as the rail is the weakest
point, it gives way. Extended expert
ments, says this writer, have been
made with testing machines on steel
and iron rails. the results of which
show that the cold does not weaken
the metal at all; the frost is also likely
to diminish the safety of bridges by
causing the metal to contract and pro-
duce an unequal strain on the trusses.

COWS THAT PAY WELL.
How to Ascertain tho True Value oil
Dairy Animals.

How to Ascertain the True Value OF
Dairy Animals.
In order to secure the largest profit
from the COWS kept on the farm we
must only keep those that pay the
best, and in determining this point it
is necessary not only to keep accounts
and ascertain by this means which is
the most profitable. but also determine
which is the best for the purpose for
which we are keeping them, We can
hardly expect that we will be able TO
secure an animal that is perfect in all
respects. that is to say perfect ami
NAL for beef, for milk and for cream.
We must first ascertain if what we
have are the best for the purpose we
have in view. If we are keeping and
feeding for beef we want an animal
that will convert the largest per cent.
of the food consumed into beef, while
if milk is wanted we want the largest
quantity possible and generally ire
spective of quality, while if cream is
wanted we want a good quantity, but
at the same time must not forget that
quality is as fully an important an
item. Having determined the pur-
pose, we must next be as certain if
the cows we are keeping are the best
and most profitable for the pur-
pose, and this might as well be made
an individual test A dozen cows may
on the whole show Il very fine profit,
yet one-half of them may not be the
least profitable, and the other six
make all the profit. We are certainly
then losing one-half of the profit that
we might secure if all the cows were
equally profitable. The Importance OF
knowing these facts are often under
estimated Cows are kept for milk or
cream that are certainly only valuable
for beef, while in some cases there is
no question but that they are good for
neither milk, cream or beef, so far az
profit is concerned; yet in many cases
they require fully as much care, and
will consume fully as much of the farm
products as others that pay good per
cent. of profit When we are uncer-
tain as to whether they are profitable
or not the safest plan is to carefully
test them. knowing first for what pur-
pose the cows are kept, and then as
certain how profitable they are for this
purpose; keep the best, and. SO far as
possible, only the best if we expect to
derive the largest profit And it is only
these that the farmers can really af
ford to keep and feed to the product:

THE KETTLES HoME.soNe.


In the dusk OF winter evenings, when the snow
lies white
On the highways and byways across the path
OF night
Then sit within my kitchen, with Helen on
my knee,
And listen to the song that the kettle sings to
me.
Outside it's cold and cheerless, but all within
is warm,
What care for wailing OF the wind above the
Storm
lam sitting watching Don, and Helen crows in
glee
As she hears the cheerful songs that the kettle
sings to me.
You can talk about your nightingale, in the
month of June,
But he couldn't hold candle to a kettle all in
tune;
Though the music Of composers is good enough
for art
II takes kettle singing to electrify the heart
timber timber, joggle joggle, the kettles keep
ing time,
To the music of its ditty like the tnkle of a
rhyme,
And sui sibi sibi, and sui sibi se,"
Is a sort OF Latin Jingle the kettle sings 10 me.
Tho frost is on the windows see tho summers
CLEAN
And the flash of running waters in the kettle s
voice Of steam,
And robins in the sunshine are warbling in the
grove
As the kettle sings its solo upon the kitchen
stove.
And Helen winks and wriggles, as fast the fire
CLOVIS,
While count the many dimples in her chubby
little toes,
And Don and and Helen-we all Of US agree
That there's nothing like the song which thu
kettle sings to me-

PREPARATIONS FOR A MOI.

Last night about 10 O'Clock the report
was spread upon the street that mob was
about to storm the Jail and take out and
hang Tom Collins, the man accused of
raping Mrs. Standley Sheriff Hays, fear
ing that there was more truth than fiction
in the report, Immediately asked for assist
ance in guarding the Jail, and as many
men as he thought necessary We're soon
furnished and armed. He announced that
it was his intention to protect his pris-
oners, and if a mob called upon him they
might expect a very warm reception.
Crowds of people attracted by the
expected trouble gathered all around the
jail and remained watching for sometime
Quite "A PARTY of colored men had, too
gathered in the vicinity, they announced
it their purpose TO prevent any harm being
done TO the colored prisoner. The militia,
Co. a, X n. g., were, too, in readiness
upon the ground. Scouts were sent out
all over the town in order to gain intelli-
gence of the lynchers, but they had at a
late hour returned without any satisfac-
tory information as to their numbers or
Whereabouts,
There was, in fact, q very general prep
aration for any mob that might have
chosen 70 have called This fact, no doubt,
had a tendency 10 disconeert any riotous
movement that might have been on foot;
and so the greater part of the night passed
without the expected mob materializing.
