A Word of Warning.

"Take care," said the commanding
officer to soldier, as he was going to
post from which several sentinels, one
after another, had mysterlously disap-
peared; ''take care; be watchfuI and on
your guard every moment, for thus
only will you be safe.' And as they
were at warfare with the Indians, and
in the Indian country, the caution was
of deep significance and Importance.
The soldier went to his post, and was
watchful against the first possible in
timation of danger; feeling that his life
depended on it. For a time all was
still and quiet. Not sound was heard
nora movement seen, till, by and by,
he noticed one Of the large hogs Of the
forests quietly feeding among the trees,
and gradually drawing nearer to the
place where he stood. Carefully watch
ing his movements, he suspected dam
ger; and raising his rifle, fired, when,
with yell of agony, an Indian leaped
up from disguise and fell dead before
him, while he himself was safe. His
caution and watehfulness had saved
him!
To every young man we would re-
peat the admonition to the soldier,
'Take care! For the pathway of life
is surrounded with dangers to the
young, and to every one an all-import-
ant caution ISL Take care; be watch
full if you would be SAFE"
!. Take care of your health. A
sound mind depends largely on sound
body; and without good health you are
not likely to have vigor, or cheerful
ness, or courage for duty, or success in
life. Do all in your power, then, to
have and keep good health.
2. Take care of your time. It is one
of the most precious of Gods gifts.
Misimproved it is loss. injury, ruin;
rightly used it is success, character, in
tiuence, life to the intellect, life to the
soul. Know, then, and constantly re-
member, the value of time. Seize and
improve every moment as 1T passes. No
idleness, no waste, no rrocraStinatlOn.
Never put off to the future what may
be done now. Count us lost the day in
which you have made no improvement
or done no good.
3. Take care as to your associates.
Not only will you be known by the
company you keep, but you will soon
become like it. ''He that walketh with
wise men shall be wise, but the COM
panion of fools shall be destroyed.
Not only, then, shun the society of the
idle, the profligate, the abandoned, the
vicious, the Sabbath-breaker, the pre-. .
fame, the sneerer at ell things, but
seek the society of the wise and good.

BEES IN WINTER ANY disturbance
during winter Is damaging to bees.
When alarmed from any cause they
gorge themselves with honey. Being
confined to their hives on account Of
cold weather they cannot take flight
to throw off the excrement, and thus
they contract a fatal dysentery. To
prevent any of this in winter, the care
full apiarlst puts everything in good
condition before winter begins. On
accout of the sudden changes of the
temperature at this season, bees should
be left in the cellar until all danger of
cold weather is over. They will breed
more rapidly in chaff hives in early
spring, and these are therefore more
desirable than hives In which the bees
are exposed to such sudden changes.
1t is true that chaff hives. as generally
constructed, are not well adapted to
secure the best results in surplus honey,
but they may be improved so that this
objection will disappear. A chaff hive.
properly constructed, is very convenient
for surplus honey storage. but not
when built with an 1mmovable solid
upper story.

three lengths Of binder-twine on each
side of the row, winding them once
around each lath, and wind some
cotton twine around the middle pair of
strands between each cluster of flower

being blown down. The seed heads
must be gathered as fast as they ripen

FARM NOTES.

APoPLExY IN SwINE.-Apoplexy is
usually a disease of fat hogs. although
IN animal that has long been thin or
suffering from excessive irritation Of
the intestinal canal would also be pre-
disposed to it. 1t must be understood
that the process Of fattening an animal
In a few weeks destroys the equilibrium
Of the system, and in one sense the
fatness is In itself disease. The stor.
ing up the fat in the animal economy is
always at the expense of muscular
development. The muscles become
weak and aabby. All the blood-vessels
Of the system are surrounded by a
strong, tough, muscular coat that in a
state OF perfect health will resist any
force that the hearts action can put
upon these canals. But the fattening
process weakens these 6bers, a sudden
or unusual strain ruptures one in the
brain, and we call it apoplexy. 1t is
not as common in the hogs as one
would expect, but occurs so often that
the breeder should understand it and
know the right thing to do. It Is i'm
possible to foresee when this Is going to
occur. If the rupture Is very small
one, when the blood is ooZing out in
tiny drops, the hogs, will sometimes be
found lying insenslble and breathing
heavily. No effort will arouse 1t. 1t
Is more usual to find big fat hog lying
dead, with no external marks or signs
OF the cause of death. Cut open the
skull carefully, and clot of blood of
greater or less extent will be found
inside. If alive. however, tie a stout
cord above the knee and with a stick
take twist in the cord until on the
inner side of the leg below the knee
the brachial vein can be felt Open it
with sbarp-pointed knife, and if the
blood will run take pint and half or
quart. Don't guess at 1t. An ounce
of blood spread ever the ground or on
the floor has been mistaken for pint.
If the bleeding is to do any good, there
must be considerable taken. If the
broken vein is small one, and the case
is observed soon after It occurred, the
animal may be saved. IT it partially
revives it will be proper to evacuate
the bowels. A large stock syringe
will be valuable here to throw up
quart of water. In most cases, how
ever the owner Will have a chance to
sell the animal for soap-fat.
