Story of Rough HeWn Millionaire

A tall, ruddy faced Duchess County
boy, so shapely, SO bright eyed and free
of limb that he attracted many a passing
glance, was seen walking down Broad
way with Norvin Green, President of the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
The Duchess County boy had the bronze
of the frontier in his face and the muscle
of the miner in his back and legs. He
came by them fairly, too. Nineteen years
ago he left Armenia, a pretty little viii
lage up in Dutchess, and ran away to be
a cowboy and fight Indians. He was just
fourteen when ne got to Colorado, and
he hadn't a penny. He's just thirty-three
now, and he's got three millions of dol
lars, the constitution of an OK and the
spirits of schoolboy. His name is
John D. Morrissey, and he lost 5000, 600
on the American turf last year. But he
has mines and real estate thai he's made
out West since he used to carry tools for
the prospectors worth many times that
sum. Out of the Crown Point mine in
Colorado, Morrissey and "Diamond Joe"
Reynolds took three millions three years
ago and divided equally. Morrissey
couldn't read and write then. Now he IS
the head Of many Colorado enterprises,
has been educated, has found another
rich mine, the Silvernite, in Gunnison
County, and is developing it with the aid
of Norvin Green, the President of the
Silvernite Company. The story of the
millionaire's education is romance.
When he and diamond 10" made
81, 500, 900 each out of the Crown Point,
he resolved that he would have to learn
to sign checks, and that quickly, too.
He got pretty gi1l who'd come out from
the East to be a ''school marm'' to teach
him, too By the time he'd learned read
ing and writing his heart had learned
loving and he married his pretty school
teacher. S1I weeks ago his first child
was born, and to-day there isn't hap
pier man in town than John d. Morrissey,
If he did lose half a million and more on
his racing stable. While he kept on get
ting richer and richer he thought he
ought to have "a string Of flyers" He
bought them, brought them East, backed
them and lost pot Of money. Then he
sold them, and now he says he's done
with the turf. He has clear brogue that
trills like the song of the Irish thrush
King might envy. Not far from the home
in Denver, Mr.. Morrissey has $500, 600
worth of real estate. But he isn't bit
proud. There hasn't been a more popu-
lar man about the uptown cafes this fall.
His manners are as suave, as hearty and
as unaffected as if he'd had a bag of
gold in his pocket all his life, and hadn't
had to work fourteen years in the mines
in big boots and red shirt.-Nee0 York

FARM AND GARDEN.
Hay in n Barn Now.

1t is always convenient way to pack
hay in a NOW in sections: that IS, to put
the hay in part OF the NOW say ten feet
wide right across, and make the side OF
the heap square. When the heap has
been carried up as high as may be de-
sired more hay can be put in alongside
of this, so that when the hay is TO be
taken out the whole top need not be
uncovered at once 1t is often the case
that grain or other product IS put on
the hay for want of room, and then it IS
difficult to get the hay from under it.
but by putting it in sections in this way
this difiicultyis avoided. arge stacks
should be put up in the same way.--Neao
York Times.

House each tool as soon as the job is
done.
Have the turkeys fat. Feed them
plenty of corn.
Get out manure now, while other work
is not so pressing as in the spring.
Bring the pillow to the barn every night,
or it may make trip to the field after it
necessary.
Whatever may be said for or against
the practice of dishorning, breeding the
horrs off is the better way.
1t is of the utmost importance in
agriculture to keep everything neat and
in order, and to have everything done in
proper season.
AS hens require deal of water, drink
ing only a small quantity at time, it
should be supplied abundantly and kept
clean and fresh.
The success of nearly all old breeders
is In great measure due to their OBJ
servance of the rule ''never breed from
any but the best
The winds of this season will meke sad
havoc with the tiocks if they are ex-
posed, and especially should the hens be
protected at night.
Too much grain is more detrimental
to breeding stock than not enough. The
food should be bulky. with small
allowance of grain.
The larger breeds do not need high
fences, and a chicken that weighs five
pounds can be dressed as easily as one
that only weighs two pounds.
The hired girl has most important
place in the country, suburban and
village home, and she deserves to be
treated as a member of the family.
No animal is so hardy as to require no
attention. The more an animal is ex-
posed the less it will produce, either of
pork, wool, mutton, beef or milk.
The Pekin duck can be kept in yards
without ponds of water, but it should
have trough to battle in, while the food
should consist mostly of grass or cooked
roots.
The duck should have dry floor in
winter. Some persons are under the
supposition that water is just what the
duck requires, and that dampness is no
injury.
Husk out first the corn that was cut up
for fodder, and get the fodder into the
barn CT stack it as soon as possible. 1t
losses value each day it is exposed to the
weather
Dead leaves can be turned to good ac-
count in the poultry house this winter;
so rake them up when they are dry,
and store them away where they will
keep dry.
If you have cabbages that did not
'head OUT good, pack them close to-
Cether and cover as other cabbaoes and
they will make rich, green food for the
fowls this winter.
1t does not pay to keep old hens over
winter. 1t is losing business to keep
them when they are not laying AS soon
as the weather becomes cold ship your
surplus stock to market, dressed.

Feeding Heavy Draught Horses.
Too little care is taken by farmers
generally with the feed of their horses.
In all the large stables of our country.
as we'll as those of Europe, the care and
feeding of horses is systematiZed. The
horses on the street car lines have their
coarse feed cut and their grain ground.
This is true, also, of horses used for
heavy teaming. If it pays the owners
of these horses to hire men to prepare
food for them, why will 1t not pay the
farmer to prepare food for his horses?
Some times the ratlons prepared for
horses doing heavy work all the while
can be used for farm horses when az
heavy work. If they cannot be used
they may suggest good ratiors that may.
With this object in view, we give the
ration fed % heavy draught horses in
large teaming corporations of England
The daily allowance of hay is II pounds;
this is cut up with . or 3 pounds of
clean oat straw. If the horses are at
very heavy work and pat in long hours
the fodder ration is increased to Is or
20 pounds, three -fourths of which is good
meadow hay.
The fitting proportion of the albumi-
mold materials requisite for the forma-
ton of red blood and vigorous muscle
in hard worked, heavy horses ranges
from one to five, or six of the carbona-
ceous or other food constituents. This
ratio is aecured by the liberal use of
beans and peas, which contain weight
for weight, nearly three times the
amount of fesh-formers as oats, and
nearly four times that of corn. The
mixture of grain given daily to each
horse consists of 3.3t pounds beans,
1.G5 pounds peas, ?.25 pounds corn, 40
oats The grain is used cracked, but
not too much crushed or bruised. No
beans should be used unless clean,
sound, and weighing 90 pounds to "a
pounds per bushel. Oats are carefully
selected of at least 40 pounds per bushel,
natural weight, and clean, sweet, dry,
and hard. Every Saturday night
mash, consisting of 3! pounds bran and
l pound linseed, is served to each horse,
and on Sunday little moro than one
half the working day allowance of corn
is given. Many experienced horse own
ers would object to this dietary on &C
count of the large proportion of corn,
which they would reduce, correspond
ingly increasing the oats; while others,
now that barley is cheap, introduce one
or two pounds of it into the feed. The
cooking for food for horses IS now
properly reprobated, on account of its
favoring imperfect mastication and in
salvation, with consequent indigestion;
while, moreover, it interferes with con-
dition and endurance Horse

THE OPAL RING.

'Tf you please, sir, Mrs. Maginnis SAYS
she can't come to wash windows to day,
because she is sick, and wants to know
would you be kind enough to come and
see her, and please keep the job till she
gets well.'
The little figure standing in the door
way of DR.. Howards oHice gazing
wistfully into the doctors face, was a
study.
She was clad in a somewhat uncouth
dress, orr ginaIlv of some grayish mate
rial, but pleced, darned and patched
with various kinds of goods, until it
resembled .Jo>eph's coat of many
colors." A red handkerchief was pinned
under her chin, which heightened the
brllllancy of pair of sparkling black
eyes, and a mass of Jet black, tangled
curls were pushed back from a pale face
that, under any circumstances, would be
pronounced one of rare beauty Her
stocklnglcss feet were encased in a pair
OF old rubbers which she confessed to
having picked from a scavenger barrel.
DR.. Howard gazed at the wan little OBJ
ject, and wondered if life could be worth
great deal to such as she.

Remedy for Spasmodic Collie.

"Spasmodic collie" or cramps of the
bowls in horses may be caused by indi-
gestion, drinking cold water when warm
after driving, or sudden chill from
being exposed to Geld, rain, or wind.
Some horses are very sensitive to sudden
changes of food and temperature, and
require more care than Others to keep
them in good health. The usual RENE
les for collie are laxative medicines; for
horse about four drachms of cape aloes.
adding an anodyne, two drachms of
belladonna or one drachm of opium, to
relieve the pain. Some prefer to give
the anodyne first to check the pain, fol-
lowing in the course of a half hour with
the laxative me iicines. Give your colt
soft food occasionally during the winter,
carrots, raw potatoes sprinkled with salt,
also scalded oats once or twice a week.
Be careful net to give whole corn at any
time, as this grain is not readily digested,
although often fed to horses without
apparent injury. -Aee0 York Sun.

Temperature of Poultry Houses.

Barn yard fowls are provided, as wei
as, and very much like, wild game, with
protection against wintry weather, but
dOmestIcatlon seems to somewhat de-
teriorate ood-circulation, so that our
poultry are more liable to freezing than
the wild feathered tribe
But in providing for comfort in the
hennery, it should be borne in mind that
with fowls, as with fruit trees, or with
human beings, injury is to be ap-
pretended from sudden transitions of
warmth by day, followed by cold at
night as well as from excessive severity.
Hence it is found that strong heat from
sun and glass may be detrimental, owing
to the contrast at night especially as the
same glass which increases the heat dur
ing the sunshine of day, is less a pro-
lection against cold at night than tight
boarding or walls would be. To remedy
this, it IS recommended to cover the
glass at night with tight board shutters.
Probably double sashes, affording dead
air space between, would be more equal
izing, both day and night, and more
convenient.
In case of using a stove in a poultry
house, great caution is essential to guard
against excessive heat in the day time,
and the fire going out at night. Even
ness of temperature at a little above the
freezing point is desirable, and a we'll
built house, impervious to the chilling
"Manitoba wave" is better without a
stove, than one with many cracks and
crevices with a stove.
Even fowls with large single combs,
if in fair health, will not freeze IN a good,
tight, well-kept poultry house, without
artificial heat, where the thermometer
outside is as low as eighteen degrees or
twenty degrees below zero.

1t, do not let any manure stay in the
