Prof W. l.. Davidson will give his
celebrated lecture, "From Italian
Lakes to Vesuvius," tomorrow even-
ing in the Opera House. This lect-
ure is under the auspices of G. l.. S
G. circles of the city. We should all be
inters ed in home efforts. The press
speaks very highly OF Mr.. Davidson's
lecture.
During the past summer he lect-
ured with great acceptability at elev-
en- Chautauqua assemblies, winning
golden opinions, as the press notices
show.
He speaks without manuscript. The
well-known lecturer, Rev. A. A. Viii
let's, says:
81 had the great pleasure OF hearing
Rev. W. L. Davidson carry a deeply
interested audience at De Funiak
Springs, Florida, from "The Italian
Lakes to Vesuvius," and / cannot
conceive of more instructive, eleva-
ting, and delightful ENTERTAINMENT
1t was excellent, and the speaker a
refined, intelligent, and delightful
speaker.
A superb lecture. The views the
finest ever shown in this city,
Charleston Is. c. Necs.
The lecture was strong and elo-
quent, and held the people to the
very close Orleans Picayune.
Mr.. Davidson has enough testimo-
malls ofa like character to fill this
sheet. 1t is a foregone conclusion
that the audience tomorrow evening
will be highly entertained. Let us
greet him with full house.
Tho whole of life is filed with ed
ucat:ng agencies all the while at work.
These agencies should be wisely and
continuously applied by each indi-
vidual. In this lecture course we
have it in our power to control and
apply one of the most successful mod
ern institutions for the communica-
tion of knowledge to each individual.
To read book on Sunny Italy is
help, but to stand in the presence Of
one who has been all over Italy, with
eyes and ears open, and hear him tell
the story, and have the pict ires of
what he saw before us, is not only a
help, but an inspiration to be remem-
bered through life living knowledge.
The advantage Of mental attrition by
personal contact is large factory in
the school of life. This advantage
will be enjoyed tomorrow evening
when we sit before Mr.. Davidson, who
has at least national reputation as
lecturer. His thought will quicken
our thought.
His rich experience will be added
to our experience, and in an intellect
ual sense the cost of ticket will be
as nothing in comparison to what we
shall receive. To attend a course of
lectures is a paying investment to any
people. We have right to tho at
tainments and enjoyments which
good lecture course furnish, we have
a right to those things which give
high ideas to our lives, and trans
form our homes into places OF aspira-
ton and blessedness, and our environ
ments should not be permitted to rob
us Of our sacred rights and highest
As we have knowledge and inspira-
tion to higher life SO let us sustain
by our presence this lecture course.
Reserved seats for the course can
be obtained in any part Of the house.

Judge Brown has paid into the city
treasury for the month of October
S2l950 fines collected from offenders
during the month. This makes a to-
tai of s337.50 paid in for the two
months OF his judgeship, besides
200 which is yet due and has been
made secure by replevin bonds. This
makes great show and demonstrates
he fact conclusively that those who

ash for the fun. During this time
.hirty prisoners have been sent to the
work house, being unable to satisfy
he claims against them. There
should be some suitable provisions
made TO compensate city Judge for

having refused to allow anything for
'ame, allowing only small fee to the
'fficer who conducts the prisoner to

ides in such cases is entitled to as
much for his services as when the
'arty convicted pays the fine and

the remedies recommended for it, They are
correct The writer fully believes that the

remedy advised by friends, until his stomach

of the leading advertisers of the day has

the absence of any claim to cure the grip
They certainly deserve a 'chromo,' and we

compassion upon our readers. The moro so

this foreign influenza, than all others COM

NOT MIXING.

There are few general plans of work
but what are open to more or less objec-
ton; or that if better in one locality. or
under certain conditions, may not always
prove so in different surroundings. This
accounts in a large degree for the differ
cnce in plans of management. To a con-
siderable extent one of the best plans of
managing the farm manure is to haul
direct from the stables or sheds in feed
lots TO the fields, scattering as fast as it
is hauled. 1t saves loss in several way-,
aud the per cent. of waste can, with good
management, be made very scarce.
The necessary work of preparing the
soil and seeding planting, is to work
we'll into the soil.
One of the advantages in thoroughly
rotting the manure before hauling out
and applying, is, with little care that
from the different kinds of stock can all
be mixed together, while if hauled direct
from the stables it will TO a considerable
extent, at least. be applied separate. The
quality of the manure can be improved,
to some extent, by mixing that from the
horse-stables, the COW and sheep-sheds,
and the hog-pens all together, aud then
applying. Each possesses clements in a
large proportion that may be much
smaller in others, and by combining to-
gether, better proportion of all is Sc
cured. This, with the fact that by rot
ting it is more easily fined and can be
more thoroughly incorporated with the
soil, and be ready to be taken up and
used by the growing plants, are the
principal advantages in pillng up the
manure and rotting thoroughly before
applying.
In some localities and under certain
conditions there is no question but that
this plan will prove the best. But in a
great many cases there is not enough OF
gain to pay for the extra work and q
I question of this kind can only be an
swered correctly by each farmer fol
himself, and in many cases if determined
correctly, a careful trial should be made.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

1t seems like a travesty for creamery
operators to ask their patrons to keep
milk free from contamination, when
wholesale hog -fattening houses are in
close proximity to the creamery, and the
use Of tobacco is allowed in the butter
room.
The true effect of a good strain in
poultry is to enhance the value not only
of the originator's flock, but of all other
iocks made from it. What the beeder
has been laboring for is increased excel
lence, not the production of offensive
characteristics and in proportion to his
success, in this is the popularity and sal
ability of the fowls produced.
If you are intending laying in a few
fresh cockerels or pullets, our advice is to
do it now. One or two months hence
you will pay for waiting, as few breeders
care to sell their breeding stock then I'M
less they receive fancy prices. The far
mer should always buy his chickens late
in the fall, when they are drug on the
market. The bargain is in this kind of
buying.

LONG HA1R ON HoRsEs, LEGS.

LONG HAIR ON HORSES LEGS.
Nature placed long hair on legs of
horses for purpose. A person kept this
hair cut close to prevent scratches, "
as he vainly supposed, and his team after
a muddy spell was always afflicted with
that malady, and he called the disease
"inherent" to the animals, when his in
herent clipping was the cause. The long
hair on the hooks of all horses, and
higher up on some, is a necessity to keep
the parts in healthy condition. If the
hair be short, mud adheres to the skin
and forms an impervious coating, and the
insensible perspiration cannot pass off,
and in time forms an adhesive covering
of the scarf skin. The two together
eventually crack and peel off, exposing a
raw or nearly raw surface, and this is
called scratches. That it works in this
way is proven, l think, by surgical opera
tions / saw in the army, where wounds
of soldiers had been covered with adhe-
sive plaster, which always extended more
or less on to the natural skin. Upon re-
moval, after it had been on length of
time, the insensible perspiration, having
and condensed and congealed upon the
cuticle and plaster, firmly uniting the
two, and when the plaster was removed
all three came off together, leaving the
second skin exposed, which is so tender
that the slightest abrasion will rupture it
and form an ulcer.
This state of affairs is identical with
| r,.rs, o1 NNba s,,h 10
is claimed by some to be infectious; per-
haps it may be after the exuding pus has
become iouled and rotten. The first
splashes of mud on long hair simply coats
over the outside, and subsequent bespat-
terings drop off. There is an air-space
left between the mud and skin, per-
mitting the insensible perspiration to es-
cape, and hence there is no danger of
exfoliation of the cuticle and consequent
| scratches. When wounds of scratches
are cicatrized they need constant care
to prevent recurrence. The new skin
does not possess pores like the old, and
! the insensiblc persplratlon seems to be
| forced out, and it rests upon the skin,
where it congeals and forms scales.

left, and then there is another siege OF
scratches. Cicatrices on the lower limbs
of human beings act in the same way.
Frequent application of water is the pre-
ventive - in other words, persistent
cleanliness. Were l called to treat q
horse for scratches l would simply
"doctol' its owner, for it is only dis.
ease of filth. If the legs of horses are
cleaned of mud as often as every evening
they will not have this disease, whether
the hair be short or long. Horses seem
to have long hair on their legs in pro
portion to their sluggishness. Racers and
trotters have little, and large quantitie:
are confined to draught horses, as though
nature designed by the quicker, more
supple movements of the former to throw
off the adhering mud, and by the Ions
hair to protect the latter.-Neto YOrj

CARE nF COWS.

There Is no moro dangerous time in
the whole year than Just now. Many
good cows are seriously injured at this
time of the year, by being subject to a
draught of cold air-not upon the whole
body-but upon some highly and iutri-
cately organized portion of the body, no
part of which is so delicate as the udder,
with its delicate qualifications and vital
nature. / have known many valuable
cows completely ruined by being allowed
TO stand where a cold current of air had
full play upon the udder of the cow, or
n portion of it. Some of the very worst
forms of garget inflammation of the uddcr
] have traced to the influence of con
centrated current of cold air. Exposure
at any time of the year is dangerous
enough, but just now the danger is ten
fold. 1t is not at all necessary to have
an open door or window, or board off the
COW house, to produce the most disas-
trous results. A crack in the door, floor,
or side of the COW house is all sufficient
to cause Inflammation of the udder, when
the crevices are so situated as to allow of
a cold current direct upon the bag, or a
portion of it. Allopenings or light should
come from the side or roof of the COW
house.
The next danger from cold is from a
sudden transition from heat to cold.
Cows should not be taken out of the COW
house to drink, if such thing in cold
weather can be avoided. -HoarG's Dairy.
