Farm and Stock Notes.

Too much corn to horses in warm weather
will cause profuse psrspirat.on. Oats should
be used in preference.
A mess of cooked meat, chopped, is an
excellent food for the hens, liz order to pro-
mote laying.
Spring cleaning should apply to the barn
and cellar as well ai to the rooms Of the
house.
Too much bran sometimes causes scours.
When such is the case withhold it for few
days. 1t is better to scald bran at all times
than to feed it raw.
Bran and cotton seed meal are the cheap
est and best foods that can b. bought They
not only increase the flow Of milk and in
duce rapid growth of young stock, but add
to the value of the manure.
Very young grass is laxative, and if fed
exclusively will cause scours. A mess of
scalded corn meal, with salt to season, will
often correct the difficulty when the animals
are affected by the grass.
Old ewes may be sold If the lambs are
weaned Only strong, vigorous ewes should
be retained. Select those that yielded
plenty of milk for the lambs for breeding
purposes, and sell off the rams in order to
infuse new blood in the flSck.
During heavy rains the soluble matter of
the manure heap will be carried away.
1t is the most valuable portion. Have the
manure heap over pit. or dish the ground
in the center, so that the liquid will not
flow away. The blacker the liquid the
greater the loss to the manure when it is
carried off

Popular Science.

A device for secret writing BY means Of
the typewriter is mentioned by the Paper
World as a recent invention. 1t requires
two typewriters similarly adjusted They
are SO constructed that the type can be
be shifted from their normal position, 50
that the operator, striking the key in the
usual way, really writes other letters than
those in his copy, forming "a cipher copy.
The receiver adjusts his machine in an op-
posite direction and writes from tho cipher
copy, aud his machine records the letters Of
the original copy. The principle is very
simple, says an exchange, and it at once
suggests the possibility Of applying the
principle Of the combination lock to such a
contrivance for all tynewriters, so that each
owner OF a machine can set it to any com
bination, which only he and his correspon-
dent should know. This must be feasible,
and if the new invention is Of any use at
all. its usefulness would DO much increased
by such n plan.

- The Orange and the Lemon.


The Rural Californian conte.ns the fol-
lowing:
Elbow grease is the only grease that
should be used on an orange or lemon tree.
The price of the orange is eternal vigi-
lance, snd the returns always pay, and that
Is what we grow oranges for.
Knowing almost all there is to know
about scale bugs and their destructiveness,
we would not hesitate minute to plant a
new orchard to orange and lemons, as one of
the most profitable of all horticultural pur-
suits.
If we were going to buy land to plant
citrus fruits we would go to the best To-
cality, one best adapted to them, where
the soil was orange land in every sense of
the word.
We are inclined to Abbott Kinney's
method, which is as follows, he says;
when man seriously feels than an orange g
tree needs pruning, he should go away from
home few days, and when he comes back
he should keep away from the orange grove
until the pruning fever has left him." On
. the contrary, he says, when a man feels the
desire to prune an apricot tree he should
proceed to prune it thoroughly and severely,
and should then return the next day, and
prune it a coed deal more summer
pruning just after the fruit is off, and
pruning in February, he think its about the
right time for apricots.
We would not prune an orange tree at
all, except to head it up, suckers and all
dead branches-and cut the fruit all off
Navel trees the first year or two after plant
ing.
The Washington Navel fruits early
and generally heavy, and we recon-
mend that the first crop should be clipped
off just at the time they begin to fall off
when quite small. The second year but few
If any should be left to grow. The results
are larger and better tree, ready for busl-
ness when about years old, and even then
only a limited number of oranges should be
allowed to grow.
The real horticulturist for business will
commence fertilizing his trees after the
first year, and will continue to return as
much strength to the ground as the trees
take up. You would not think of working
your horse without feeding him. 1t is a
! matter that is so thoroughly understood by
scientific men, and explained by them to
us ordinary mortals as to the exact por-
tions Of the various ingredients that go to
make up the tree, its leaves and fruit, that
no man need go astray. This question of
fertilizers is one of the most important to
our fruit growers, and one that we shall de-
vote considerable space to in the future.

Patti is fast becoming the rival of
the famous Ninon del'Enclos, who pre-
served her beauty to such an extent
up to her slXtieth year that the grand
sons of the men who loved her in her
youth adored her with as much fervor
as their ancestors had done in their
days. Patti is, to say the very least, a
long way from "sweet and twenty"
more like ''fair and forty" without
the third qualification, yet people who
saw her the other day in Paris could
see no visible change, no mark of the
last ten or fifteen years upon her She
was still as slim and rounded, still
without grayhair in her head, or a
wrinkle upon her. There had not
come under her chin that small break
in the contour of the throat which is
the first knell of dead youthfulness.
Her hair lay in rich, plentiful black
locks about brow where not one line
was to be seen. Her eyes were clear
and bright as child's, her cheeks
smooth and pink, her teeth snowy and
faultless, and the delicate lines of her
figure just exactly what they were a
score of years back. Some impulsive
woman seized her and demanded to be
told the secret of her eternal youth,
and this is what Patti revealed to her
She said: "When am at home l go

that is, early for singers, which means
1870. So you see when / am not

is the secret of beauty and freshness.

way to keep ones complexion and
figure intact. | rarely touch wine, a
liquor-glass full of whisky after lunch
con or dinner, sometimes glass of
champagne. Nothing more.
But the real and main secret of Pat
it's perennial youth, and the one she
did not dwell upon, is the fact that
she has never given away to any emo
tions. She has avoided all feelings of
every sort, as far as possible-hate,
love, everything that might make a
wrinkle on her fair face.

A Calcutta Snakery.

The late King of Dude had built a
snakery in the gardens of his palace
at Garden Beach, near Calcutta. 1t
was an oblong pit about thirty feet
long by twenty feet broad the walls
being about twelve feet high and per-
fectly smooth, so that a snake could
there was large block of rough ma
sonry perforated so that it was as full
of holes as sponge. In this honey
combed block the snakes dwelt, and
when the sun shone brightly they came
out to bask or to feed.
His Majesty used to have live frogs
put in the pit, and amuse himself by
seeing the hungry snakes catch the
frogs. When a large snake catches
a small frog it is all over in an instant,
but if small snake catches large
frog, so that he cannot swallow it at
once, the frogs cries are piteous to
hear. Again and again have heard
them while out shooting, and have
gone to the bush or tuft of grass from
which the piteous cries came-some-
times in time, sometimes too late to
save poor froggy, though the snake
generally got shot. As a final story
let me tell how frog has been seen to
turn the tables on the snake.
Two gentlemen in Cachar some years
ago saw a snake seize a small frog and
attempt to swallow it. But suddenly
large frog jumped forward, seized
the snakes tail, and began to swallow
the snake. How the affair might have
ended cannot be told, because my
friends imprudently drew near to
watch the combat, when the frogs and
snake took alarm, and the big frog
disgorged the snakes tail, and the
snake released the little frog and they
scut1led off. But the tale is perfectly
true, and both the gentlemen who saw
it are still alive; and / only regret that
it was not my good luck to see the
affair with my own eyes,-India Let

Wade's Fibre and Fdbr3c Ga staunch
protectionist advocate) has this to say on
the subject of the wool tariff "It is idle
to talk of any one section or country
producing proftably all qualities of wool
in quantity to fill the requirements of
this country. Those speakers and writers
who for political effect, or who by their
faith or pride in the boundless resources
of the country are led to claim that we
can grow all the wool we want, do not
know what they are talking about.
They have evidently had very little
experience in manufacturing the various
fabrics that our people insist upon
having. We might as well claim that
Massachusetts can grow all the food and
timber its people require. The only
way to accomplish such a result in either
case would be to bring the wants of the
people down to the supply, in entire
opposition to the spirit of the age. The
history of the past fifty years proves
that prices for our homegrown clip have
never been improved by increased duties
upon the imported raw material; that
the effect has rather been to curtail the
demand from our own mills, the only
customers they can possibly have under
the adjustment of duties now in force.
The present tariff is not only most unjust
in its distinctions and restrictions, but
practically it is prohibitory on large
portion Of the most desirable woods
which are available to our foreign com
petitors free from tax. 1t is protective
to the European manufacturer, and only
in name to the home wool-growers.
These prohibited woods, after being
manufactured abroad, are exported to
this country, paying a comparatively
low rate of duty, decreasing in proportion
to the labor expended upon them. This
is discouragement to the improvement
of American fabrics, and on the finer
grades gives the foreign mills monopoly
in our own markets. The above we
believe to be facts, no one of which can
be ignored if we could have a settlement
of the question in the interest of wool
growers and consumers, which includes
OF should include, every man woman
and child in this country. Can we
expect legislation equal to the occasions?

prises, and were consequently pressed to
the wall. 1t is but another illustration
of the futility of antagonism between
employers and their employees. The
workingmen and women of Massachu-
sets, contributing as they did upward of
S6S,000 to sustain the lives of their per-
secuted brethren in Spencer, the Brook
fields, and other sections of Worcester
County, have no tears to shed for the
embarrassment of this celebrated firm of
slave-driving autocrats. Though they
We're successful in their designs for a
time, still the old adage has again been
realized, "The mills of the gods grind
slowly, but they grind exceeding fine. !"
On calm, mature deliberation, the failure
of this once prosperous and arrogant
firm cannot be regretted, and it has met
its downfall through the courageous and
dignified attitude of the Knights of
Labor-AdC0cate.

The overissue OF stock by Eben NJ.
Allen, president of a surface railway
in New York City, develops a painful
story of dishonesty actuated by greed.
Allen started years ago as one of the
inferior employees of the company, and
through his own merits was promoted
step by step until he reached the pre-
sidency. But, not satisfied with the
emoluments of his lofty position, he
entered outside speculations, and
finally sacrificed a well-earned reputa-
ton by betraying his trust and making
a false issue of seven hundred shares
of stock, the proceeds Of which he ap-
piled to his own private benefit. All
the good work of years was wrecked
by that one act of unfaithfulness and
dishonesty.

Deaths from Lightning.

The majority of deaths from light
ming occur in the level, open country
trees, villages, and thickly built up
towns and cities, by their projections
in the air, serving as conductors and
thereby protecting the inhabitants
from direct stroke. The loss of life
annually throughout the world is very
great. In European Russia from 1870
to 1877 no less than 2,270 persons were
killed by this cause. In Austria during
the same time 1,700 persons were like
wise killed. In Prussia it is reported
that seventy persons are annually
killed. Ten thousand persons are re-
ported as having been struck during a
period of 20 years, with 1882 deaths in
France, while in the United States
during 1870 alone POP deaths from
lightning were recorded.

There are times when speech is unsea-
sonable, but there are also times when
silence is wrong and even cruel. If
there is much said that should never
have been breathed, there is also much
that ought to have free utterance which
is never spoken. 1t is impossible to
estimate the amount Of happiness and
benefit that is suppressed by this un-
timely silence. A group of persons are
discussing the character Of one, known,
perhaps, only slightly to most of them.
Some one speaks disparagingly of him,
OF relates some incident tending to lessen
him i'll their esteem. Another who is
present knows this to be incorrect, but
instead of vindicating him from the
false charge, he says nothing. lie may
be shy of expressing himself; he may
persuade himself that it is not his affair;
he may dislike to appear antagonistic; +;
whatever be his reason, he does the
absent one an irretrievable injury by a
silence that must be deemed cowardly
The unfayorable impression which he
might have corrected sinks into the
memories of those who have heard it,
and is probably never entirely effaced.
Had he simply uttered what he knew to
be true at the moment of need all this
would have been prevented. In general
when the character or conduct of any
absent one is assailed it is the path of
kindness to refute it if possible, or, if
this cannot be, to present some point in
which he eXcels and which may turn
the scale of esteem in his favor. There
| is III each one such mixture of good
and bad, admirable and blamable, that
the way he is judged largely depends
upon where the emphasis is laid. There
fore, all goodwill and kindness demand
that, while we bury his faults in oblivion,
we should speak freely and fully of his
eXcellences.
Not only to the absent, but sometimes
to those present with us, is silence cruel
There is wholesome dread of flattery
among honest people, which not infre
quently leads them into an opposite ex-
teme of Withholding praise where it is
due. Much encouragement and many
Abandoned efforts may be traced to this
source. OF course, it is not the ideal of
manliness to require such a motive, but
| few approach the ideal, and few can dis
pense with the motive. The young and
inexperienced, the humble and self
depreciating and all beginners especially
need every sincere word of encourage
ment that can be given. 1t is stimulus
/ which no parent, no teacher and no en-
ployer can afford to set aside. Has the
child been faithful, obedient, studious,
self-denying? Tell him so, and express
1 the real pleasure you feel. Has the
young man proved himself trustworthy
indefatigable, intelligent? Let him have
/ the satisfaction of knowing that you
/ appreciate his efforts. Has the timid
beginner in some enterprise done well
for first attempt? Do not deny him
the incentive to further efforts that youi
approval will afford him. Silence al
such times is not a mere negative, 6
blank, an omission; it is positive injury
a bar to improvement, n destroyer OF
well-earned happiness.
