Hat Finishing is unheaIthfuI.

Hat finishing is conceded to be tft
most unhealthy branch of the hating
trade. Statistics on the subject show
that larger percentage of finishers die
every year than in any other branch OF
the business. The semi-annual report of
the Hat Finishers International Union
shows that during the past six months
twenty one members have died. Of that
number eight died of consumption, and
the deaths of the majority of the re-
naming were directly traceable to the
unwholeSome surroundings in which a
finisher had to work.
Hat sizing is far healthier occupation
than hat finishing. The large number of
finishers who die of consumption would
seem to bear testimony to this. And then
again, one very rarely sees an old man
working at finishing while you can see
men of sixty and seventy years of age
rubbing away on hats at sizing kettle.
One of the journeymcn explained this to
me in different manner not long ago,
and said that the reason old men were not
seen working at finishing was that nobody
wanted them, nobody would have them.
"Foremen nowadays will not shop
man if he has any gray hairs in his head;
they have an idea that he cannot do his
work properly, and it is getting so that
we are all like old horses-turned out to
die" That was his idea of the situa-
ton, and probably he is rot far away
from the truth. He said that there were
plenty of finishers of mature years, but
that they were not in the hat shops. They
have to look out for some other means of
earning a subsistence, or else get into
some shop where the work is not of too
high a grade, and as a consequence does
not require such very great amount of
skill to perform it.
Some years ago when women's mapped
hats were all the rage some very old men
put In an appearance at the sizer's kettle.
They had learned how TO napa hat in
their young days, and their good right
had not forgotten its cunning. 1t is
said that it was common thing
four or five years ago to see men of sew
enty or eighty years of age mapping hats.
This was particularly the case in Connec-
lieut.. Very few finishers live to be sew
enty or eighty; none are ever seen work.
ng at that age. About forty years is the
average duration of finisher's life

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Ground oats with little middlings,
or little bran, is good food once day,
so is barley meal and middlings.
Hen houses will need considerable at.
tention from now on; warm weather
suits lice and the red mites; be on the
alert for them.
Work corn as deeply as possible at
first; after that, not over two inches
deep, ending up with even shallower
cultivation, so as not to disturb the
roots.
Some of the early broods will show
signs of future quality, and when these
are familiar to the breeder, he will be
able to discriminate and Gull intelli.
gently.
The early broods will now demand
coarser and heartler food for their
growth and development. Their d.
gestive organs will assimilate all you
WISH 10 give them.
81 have come to regard the corn as
but half the crop of my cornfeld,"
writes farmer. '.The fodder is the
other half, and by reason of its greater
quantity is worth quite as much to me-"
Ducks and chickens should never DO
kept on the same place unless they can
be separately fenced. Ducks are not
the cleanest animals in the world; they
will foul any water to which they have
access.
1t is not so hard to get hungry ami
NAL away from pail of warm bran slop
as to get it away from the starvation
point when it has once got there. To
give it new start cost a deal more than
to have kept it going.
When buying salt for butter see that
it has been kept where it could not alb
sorb the odors of tobacco smoke, cod
fish, kerosene and Others peculiar to the
average grocery store. Salt absor~
odors readily and will carry them into
the butter.

OPEN SHEDS FOR SHADING CATTLE.

OPEN SHEDS FOR SHADING CATTLE.
There are many who now incline to
the belief that open sheds are better for
shading cattle in pastures than are trees.
The advantage of the shed is that it need
not be permanent fixture but may be
constructed in such a way as to make it
possible to shift it to the different fields
seeded down to pasture in any given ro-
tation. Where permanent pastures are
found on the farm, trees are appropriate
and profitable, but where tho pasture
lot has in its turn to be broken up and
cultivated to cereals or corn, trees are a
positive nuisance. 1t would seem that
even in permanent pasture an open
shed furnished with drinking troughs
and feeble is preferable to a clump
of trees located, as often is the case, in
a Doggy slough. In the latter instance
the water becomes foul from the drop
pings CT the stock and the pudding of
the mud by their feet. Place the shed
where the wind can play through it from
al sides, furnish pure water from
windmill and tank, and the best condi-
tons are supplied for summering cattle
on grass. -Farmer's ReUieu.

Cured at the Grand Pacific few days

same State, but did not continue in
this occupation long. II 1857 he bought
the Xena NeUS, and did such good work
on that journal as to give it reputation
wide as the State. This led to his en-
gagement by the Times and Gazette

opportunity of distinguishing him

became stakeholder of that journal, the
publication OF which he subsequently
assisted in the capacity of associate
editor. His connection with the New

For many years past, am informed,
n report has prevailed in Virginia that
when the sword voted by the Gene
raj Assembly TO General Clarke was pre-
sented he exhibited such dissatisfaction
at such a reward from his State for his
services that he broke the sword over
his knee and threw it into the Missls-
