CATARRH OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS.

Common colds are very frequent among
cattle, horses, sheep and swine. The
fover is shown by tho dullness of the af-
fected animals, which to an ordinary OBJ
server would be the first symptom no.
tjced. Poultry are equally liable to
colds. After the fever and dullness the
cough Is tho most prominent sign of all
mont. To the professional man and to
the more close observer the mucous
membrane of tho eyes and nose ore seen
to be red. The eye weeps and the
"nose runs" The tendency of irritation
of the mucous membranes Is to pass
downward. When 1t reaches the fauccs
it is commonly called sore throat; on
reaching the larynx 1t is termed laryn-
6itis; 80, also, on its descent into the
bronchial tubes through which tho air
reaches tho lungs it is termed bronchitis
Catarrh, or cold, is far moro common in

DROPPING WOOL.

A correspondent desires to know what
makes sheep drop their wool in winter
sometimes. The most prevalent causo is
too warm quarters. have seen bunch
Of sheep shut in tight room for tho
purpose of raising winter lambs, and
'hearing was neglected. BY spring moro
than half of the wool had dropped, and
they looked moro ragged than the pro-
verbal street arab. Sheep arc sensitive
to storms and cold winds, and should be
protected from them. Sheltered from
these is all the housing they require.
The coolest nights of winter, if still and
it does not snow, they choose to lie out
in the open. A shed fully boarded on
shrco sides, and four or five feet up on
tho other, that there may be no draft of
air, makes tho most suitable quarters.
Another cause of the wool falling is
feeding too heavy grain ration at the
commencement of grain feeding. Here
great caution should be observed. They
should be seasoned into it gradually be-
fore full feeding is entered upon.-Nu-

HOW TO sUBDUE WEEDS.

One important point in keeping farm
clear from weeds Is to see that these
germs are not imported in purchased
seeds. Weeds are often introduced by
the farmers own animals. Horses that
have been fed Mt the town stables, and
cattle that have been allowed to forage
Oh the highways, may each be the means
of bringing obnoxious weeds onto the
farm. For tho hoed crops clean cultiva-
ton is the antidote. Cut the weeds off
1t the surface of the ground at time when
they are at their best, that is at the time
Of Towering, and before the seed has
grown sufficient to germinate. This is
the best method of dealing with seeds
where they have become pest in
meadows and pastures. In the latter
sheep are very efficient weed destroyers
IS they will browse closely many varieties
that cattle will not touch.
In some countries It IS said there arc
fields entirely free from weeds, owing to
very high cultivation and careful sclec-
ton of seeds and manures. Such results
are not to be expected in this country,
and we shall continue to have weeds as
heretofore, but they can be kept in such
subsection rs to reduce their injurious
effects to minimum. Where they serve
no better use, they at least give evidence
of the soils fertility. Unless rich ground
is closely covered with useful plants it is
quite certain to produce weeds. Nothing
surpasses clover for smothering weeds.
If sown thickly, and stock is kept Off
from it after the moving, 80 that somo
Of tho seed from the second crop will be
scattered, it will gain complete posses
sion of tho field, to tho exclusion of
weeds. York World.
AN EASY WAY TO RAISE SWEET BRIAR.
Speaking to an old gardener the other
day, who had quantity Of the hips on
his sweet-brier bushes, wo suggested to
him the advisability of raising quantity
Of young plants from the seed. He
stated that he very much wished to do
80, to have them for young hedge plants,
but has not been very successful so far,
and finds them hard to vegetate.
Our suggestion to him was to take the
hips, wash out the seed from the pulp,
then mix them with sand in shallow
hox, and bury the whole in the ground,
but so that they could be frozen through.
By this means the outer coating of the
seeds never becomes dry, which is the
reason they are often 80 long in coming
up. When spring comes, and before
vegetation starts too much, select a piece
of sandy soil, bring to fine tilth as for
any other crop, then SOW the seeds in
rows ,out two inches below tho soil.
Cover in and we'll firm the soil, and, our
word for 1t, there will be no trouble
raising sweet-briar plants.
Those having but few seeds and the
convenience Of greenhouse may SOW in
pots at once, and they will come all
right in the sn:ing, when they may be
planted out of doors.

Selling stale Produce.

countryman who daily sells the produce
OF his market farm at the Centre Market told
a HERALD reporter that in spite OF the fact
that the Commissioners had directed the po-
lice to squelch the practice of street hucksters
from preempting and occupying the space on
country wagons, it is still carried on. Said
he: 1.-The police have driven these hucksters
away time and again, but after things have
quieted down little. as it were, they resume
their Illegal traffic. These hucksters buy up
the stale vegetables left over in the stalls in
the market, freshen them up by methods best
known to Themselves, and then, taking a
countryman's place next morning, sell the
stale stuff as fresh country produce to con-
fdiDg or careless customers. It's dangerous

OUR NATIONAL BANKS.
THEIR STATEMENTS SHOW THEM TO
BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
February Last Show a Decided Inn
provement-Wise Bank Management.

Col. Lacey, the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, has pleasant habit about every two
months OF dropping In on the national banks
all over the country and asking for state
ment OF their condition on a certain day Just
passed, andias his apparent inquisitivepess has
warrant for it in the national banking act the
officers gracefully acquiesce and furni sh him
with all the information he asks. They also
take the occasion to let the public know the
same thing, and the advertisement columns
of THE HERALD have but recently printed
the statements in detail of our various local
national banks and trust compa-
nies, which are also included in the
call. The figures given are in every re-
spect encouraging, as, without single trifling
exception, they show very gratifying increase
in the money on deposit, and also a reasonable
increase In the amount of money loaned out
AT .he same time they show the very careful
and conservative manner of our bank officials
by the fact that considerably more than the
20 per cent. of the deposits required by law
are kept on hand.
1t is also matter of agreeable surprise to
find that by a comparison with the same time
of last year the amount on deposit exceeds by
over $500, 600 the same total of deposits then
in our national banks and trust companies,
and this, too, Notwithstanding the troublous
times through which we have since passed,
and the further fact that money was an abso-
lutte drug last spring, good investments real

troller at the close of business on the 4th in

call of February 26 the amount stated was
Sl2, 1883, showing an increase of 81, ,465, 113

Their Side OF the Case as Presented by One
ofThem.
The war is now fully on between the
authorities and the secondhand dealers as to
the Interpretation of what is known as ''the
recent junk law" Mr.. P. c. Merry, second
hand dealer of TIC X street. said to HERALD
reporter: 'You have given Detective Block
a chance to give his side of the question, now
give me chance in behalf of the organization

all of us would either have to take out licenses
or go out of business. We propose to let the
courts decide that matter and not Mr. Block.
Let us see how the matter stands. The law
is a law as whole, or it is no law at all, and
yet, between the Commissioners, the Attorney
for the District, and Detective Block, it seems
that the statute is to be divided up in parcels
part to be enforced and other parts to be left
imperative For example, jewellers, piano
dealers, typewrters, and so on, are left I'M
disturbed, but bicycle dealers are hauled up
for the police court. Now, few days ago
Broderick Bros, secondhand dealers, sent
communication to the Commissioners stating
that two of their push-cart men; of whom they
have over forty employed in the collection of
rags, bones, and old iron, had been arrested and
requesting that Detective Block be estopped
from interference with these employees In the
future. The Commissioners referred the
matter to District Attorney Hazleton, and he
rendered an opinion that the push-cart men
were not liable to license, and that the law
only applied to persons who had places of
business. Now, there's where we have got
them. They are interpreting the law to suit
themselves They can't make six of one and
a half dozen of the other. And, tell you, if
the authorities were sure of their case there
would be no monkeying around and postpone
ments OF the test cases as there has been.
They would arrest and fine us ilstanter, but
they dare not do it, for we have the courts to
resort to- That's our side of the question:"
