may be presented in favor Of the latter
time. Ia this vicinity, where our farmers
are largely engaged ia the raising OF draft
horses, an Increasingly strong feeling II
favor OF fall colts is noticeable.
Among the reasons contributing 10 tbs
practice may be mentioned the following:
Less Interference with the performance q

EARLY GROWING BEOFRE
CHRISTMAS.

Said a lady to the writer a few days
since: "Why is it that the chickens
crow so much earlier in the night
during December and just before
Christmas, than at any other season
of the year? 1t seems to me that they
crow earlier in the night and louder
and oftener then than at any other
season."
It is true that they do crow earlier
in the night during December, and
crow more then at night than in any
other month in the year, and for this
reason: The days are shortest in De.
cember and the nights are the longest
of all the year. In December the
fowls 60 to roost shortly after 4 o'clock
in the afternoon on cloudy days, and
by 5 o'clock in bright weather. The
result is the cocks begin to Gro n about
8 or 9 o'clock in the night and crow
about every two house until daylight,
when they leave the roost. Daylight
at this time does not come until nearly
6 o'clock a. M, 50 the cocks have five
or six growing spells during the night.
When the days r longer and the
nights are shorter it is different. For
instance, in June the TO Wis do not 60
to roost until about 7 p m. Twilight
fingers until 8 o'clock, SO the first
growing spell of the night does not
begin until three or four hours later,
nearly midnight. Daylight comes
again by 4 o'clock a. m, so the cocks
seldom crow more than three different
periods during the night.
This explains why the fowls seem
to note the approach of Christmas, and
to crow more and oftener then than
at any other season.-Tennessee Farmer

season, and during the winter, requires
blanketing not only in the stable and
at night, but more imperatively when
they r left standing in harness. To
be sure most farmers take their stable

driving in the winter! They do not
always remember to do it at this sea.

AN ID

Nine. Vanard, a poor woman in
Paris, arrived at competency by col
Letting orange peel, and thereby not
only helped herself but gave occupa,
ton to others. She became a rich
person, a great patroness of art and a
regular habituee of the opera. Her
husband was a distiller of spirits, and
when he died she tried for some time
to carry on the distillery alone, but
without success.
Talking over matters one day with
a friend she was much struck with a
remark that he made, to the effect that
there was a fortune to be realized in
the orange and lemon peel which was
daily thrown away by the garcons of
the cafes.
The next thing she did was to sell
her stock in trade and become a sort
of amateur chifonniere with this diff
ference, that the object of her quest
was orange and lemon peel only.
She had a tiresome task at first. but
as soon as she got to be known she
prospered so rapidly that she was ere
long able to employ other hands to do
the dirty work of collecting the ma
terial from the streets, and also from
the theaters, for the sweeping of which
she contracted.
She presided herself over some
thirty young women in her orange and
lemon peel warehouse, all of whom
were busily occupied in cleaning,
pressing and packing the peel as It
arrived, al operation which she christ
ened by the word ~"zester." Vast
quantities of zeste were daily sent
away to all parts of France and
abroad to form the basis of Dutch
curacao, orangeade, citronade, and the
many kinds of light drinks and aperi.
ents which are met with over the
Continent. She has now retired
from business and enjoys the fruit of
her former hard earned labor.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HORSE.

To take the utmost care of the horse
should be a fixed rule for every farmer,
and a standing order for every hired
man who has to do with the horses.
The old saying, GA merciful man is
merciful to his BEAST" is no doubt
true, and a piece of philosophy sus-
tanned by the observation and expe-
rience of the ages. But this is hardly
enough to meet the case with those
who have, perhaps, several horses or
teams, and the care of which is left to
hired help. The beast is not "his,"
and in cases where he might be a
fairly good-tempered man, he becomes
thoughtless and careless about the
covering of the horse or horses. Our
point is that the owner must provide
good blankets and make the command
imperative, with a penalty, that they
be used.
We 90 much further than the mer.
ciful argument. Many owners OF
horses have been brought up, or have
"come NJ" in a way to have no feel
ing for their animals. The idea that
a horse should actually suffer from
the cold, would strike them rs absurd,
or at least as unimportant. Such men

TARIFF AUS ovERPRoDUcTIoN-
But the tariff is otherwise response
BILE for trusts. The high bounties it
offers in many industries cause an ex.
t~raordinary rush into them on the
part of those who are tempted by the
promise of greater profits than can be
made in industries pursued under
normal conditions. This rush leads,
sooner or later, to excessive produc-
ton, and then, to escape the loss
threatened by an overstocked market,
resort is had to some kind of comb
nation to maintain prices and to con
troll supply.
The circle is, first, excessive stimu-
lation; next, excessive production,
and lastly combinations against the
consumer. | know it is strenuously
denied by defenders of u tariff that
it is chargeable with the great move
ment in the United States in recent
months toward the formation of trusts,
and we are told that we are not the
only people who are the victims of
these combinations | have already
said there may be natural monopolies,
as when a single country or region
produces the entire supply. In such
a case-whether that region be one of
our States, or England; Holland or
even the petty republic of San Marine
1t is perfectly feasible for producers
to form a trust if consumers must and
will still buy their products at artificial
prices. Combinations of some kind
or attempts to form them are as old
as the history of trade. l do not deny
that a trust such as the Standard Oil
or the whisky trust might arise in any
country under the same conditions,
tariff or no tariff. But such combina-
tions as our trusts in the prime neces
saries of life, in food and clothing,
which are produced by no people,
but freely in many countries, can be
formed only in a country that sur
rounds it's products with a wall of
protecting duties against supplies from
without. The impracticability of
forming an international combination
among producers of an article found
in many countries is shown by the
collapse of the recent copper pool, car
rying with it the second strongest
bank in France, but, as I suspect, not
affecting the power of the owners of
the great Michigan copper mines to
continue exacting from American con,
sumers the excessive prices made pos
sible by the high tariff rates they Sc
cured from Congress over the veto of
Andrew Johnson. The recent move
ment of the paper manufacturers in
England to form a ring" was met
by publishers with the threat that they
would \get their paper from other
countries if their own mills attempted
to combine to squeeze them. AS the
government does not shut off the out
side supply it is clear that consumers
were in no danger of having to pay
monopoly prices.

many woman patriots of America on the battle

A DARING WOMAN.

Nurse and a Chaplaln's wife, We're the only ladies
at the first battle of Bull Run. Miss Edmonds was
under fire six hours that day. In her work as
nurse among the wounded in the Stone Church at
Centerville she delayed obedience orders for her
to retreat to Washington until the rebel cavalry
had filed the streets of Centerville. In the dark
ness and rain she climbed a fence and went across
lots for mile before venturing TO take the Fairfax
road. She walked in that pitess storm ali night
and the next forenoon in reaching Alexandria
Miss Edwards participated in numerous battles,
and as spy she penetrated intothe enemy Is lines
in various DISCUSSES no less than Ii times, always
with complete success and without detection. At
one time she went among the rebels as an Irish fe-
male peddler selling cakes aud pics
She thus describes her disguise

Miss Edmonds has written book of her adven-
