FARM FOR SALE !!

Owing to the advancing years of
my father, | have purchased the
farm owned by him for many years
past, near Hyde Park village. Hav-
ing neither time nor ability to car
ry it on properly, l will sell it at
much less than its value.
To those who are acquainted
with the place no commentator
is necessary. For the benefit Of
those who are not, say it is one of
the best farms on the Lamoille
River. 1t has a meadow nearly or
quite one mile in length, and
nearly as level as a floor. 1t was
in fair state of cultivation when
purchased by my father, and du-
ring the many years that he has
owned it he has been constantly
improving it, until it is to-day one
of the most fertile farms on the
Lamoille River. The dwelling is
a good two-story house, in an ex-
cellent state of repair and pleas
antly located, and the barns are
fair. 1t would cost $500 at least
to build the buildings to-day
The larger part of the farm is
in Morrlstown, where taxes are
comparatively low. The balance
lies contiguous to Hyde Park vii.
lage, where there is an academy,
court house, two banks, printing
office, steam mill, hide house, and
sundry stores, railroad depot, etc,
all of which are within 4 to u
mile of the farm. The place is
now offered for $4,000. 1t was
sold few years since for $4,000
1t contains 200 or els acres, but
if desired will reserve a part of it.
Terms for payment will be made
easy to any one who can either
pay or secure $1,000.

Points of Interest.

The best way to secure herd of grade cows of any breed is to raise them your. self where this is possible. Get a pure blood male and begin, and in less time than seems possible you will have your herd around you, produced to order un- der your own eye.
 Mir. c. F. Mills is now president of the American Berkshire association. This association is to give liberal encour- agement, pecuniarily and otherwise, to the display of American Berkshires at the Worlds fair at Chicago.
 If an animal is either constipated or loose in its bowels, if it is off its feed, looks thin and bad, and you cannot tell what is the matter with it, change its diet. That alone in many cases will ef- feet cure. Ruts are as bad for ami mals as for people.
 An experienced horseman says that diluted foods will prevent horses from having collie. He recommends chopping up corn and cobs together as part of the animals diet, so that it will swallow portion of the cob. A mixture composed of wheat, bran and oats ground with corn is also highly recommended when fed with hay that has been chopped and moistened.
 It is criminal offense to give a fraud ulent pedigree to Jersey cow, calf, bull or heifer ir Ohio. How would it affect some of our first families if a law were passed making it penitentiary offense to give fraudulent human pedigree and adopt fraudulent coat of arms?
 Every COW ought to have at least a months rest before calving, Old cows are apt to tend toward perpetual milk ing, In this case dry them off. It can be done by leaving 2 portion of the milk in the cows udder at each milking, in other words do not milk her clean. At the same time feed her mostly on dry food.

Earnings of Railways for 1890.

Bradstreet's gives the gross earnings of 129 railways for the year 1890. The amount realized on a total mileage of s5,67S was S4S4, ,23o, ,134. This is gain of SC per cent. in earnings and 2.7 per cent. in mileage. The gain on l30 roads in 1889 over 1888 was S.5 per cent. Every group of roads shows an increase for the year, the smallest gain being that of the Mexican roads, seven-tenths of per cent, and the largest that of the southwestern roads, 12.7 per cent. In addition to the latter three others show gains in excess of 10 per cent.-yiz., the eastern roads, 10.3 per cent; the south ern roads, 12 per cent, and the Pacific roads, lO9 per cent. The central west ern roads gain 0.5 per cent, and the grangers 8.7 per cent, while the trunk lines show the comparatively modest gain of 2.4 per cent.

Wet Hair Tn Winter.

"What foolish habit some men have of putting water on the hair in this kind of weather" remarked one of the Du- quesne barbers. "Why put water on the hair at all? It is done, to be sure, to make the hair lie down, but it is more of habit than anything else. The hair can be brushed dry as well as wet.
 You see men go out of barber shops with the water running from behind their ears. In few minutes it is changed into icicles. The next day they complain of earache, neuralgia, or pain in the back of the head. Do you won der why? The cause is not deeply hid den. It is not water on the brain this time. but ice on the hair. ."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

With the home bred stock it is next to impossible to obtain a horned calf Horned cows are sometimes bought, but they are dishorned as soon as possible At least 75 per cent. of the calves from these dishorned COWS and the boiled bull are polled The cattle are fastened in the Parsons stanchion. and the polled heads are secure there. Horns are not necessary to hold an animals head in the stanchion! The oxen used on the place are Devons, with fine large horns, but Mr. Hoyt proposes to try boiled oxen, too. The bull is worked in a tread power. The cattle are we'll fed and cared for. Two large silos are filled every year.
 A good deal Of the ensilage corn is grown clOsr the barn, on ground where nursery Dock is "heeled in" until May Dry stalks from which ear corn Is husked are run through the cutter and fed dry or with the silage. But little hay is fed, the stalks and silage affording "rouShage" enough. It pays better t. sell timothy hay and buy stalks and grain, In former years many tons of roots were grown, but the silo has made the root crop "back number" Clover was tried in the silo one year, but did not prove wholly satisfactory. It turned out strong smelling stuff, unpleasant to handle. The corn is ground, "cob and all, and large quantities of bran, oats, cotton seed meal, middlings, etc, are bought and fed. The grain is fed dry or scattered on the ensilage, which is given three times q day.
 The cows are turned out to water every day The water is brought to the barns by means of hydraulic ram, which has been in use since 1856. Suit. able pipes carry it all over the buildings and into convenient tanks, about which the polled cows cluster like sheep. Sur plus milk is sold to the local creamery. The manure is hauled or wheeled out into the barnyard. where it lies until wanted for the crops. Mir. Hoyt is con vinced that it will pay him to build a roof over this yard to protect the cows and the manure from the rain. He also wants some more economical way of getting the manure out of the stable than wheeling it out. The barns and sheds are built close together, and steps are saved whenever it is possible to save them.

The contrast between the protected and the unprotected branches of our shipping is brought out in a recent bull letin from the census office on the float ing equipment on the great lakes, 7" While our foreign commerce has lan- guished for want of Protection the coasting tonnage has rapidly grown. In 1886 the net tonnage on the lakes was 634, ,G52; in 1890 it had reached S26,36O, an increase of 101, ,7Os tons. The esti- mated value of these vessels in 1886 was 30,597 ,450, and in 1890 the aggregate valuation was $5s, 300. an increase compared with 1SS8 of $27, ,531 .O50, or B9 9S per cent. in five years,

 Good Miikers and Gentle.
 Hoyt Brothers. of New Canaan, Conn. are gradually breeding race of hornless cattle. One of these cows, shown in the picture. has as pretty a "bang" as fash ionable girl. The Rural New Yorker gives a highly interesting account of their model farm, which furnishes con vincing evidence that agriculture in New England can still be made to pay where the farmer miSes brains with his toll.
 How the New Canaan breed of boiled cattle was built up, The Rural New Yorker relates as follows:
 The Hoyts have never been able to see any use for horns on dairy cows. Some years ago they began to collect a boiled herd Here and there, scattered about the country, they found ''muley" cows no one knows how they came to be with out horns. A fire destroyed all their cattle, and they then began again the slow task of hunting for ''muleys. v One of the best COWS dropped boiled bull calf, and with him at the head of the herd it was soon easy to produce polled calves. The present bull looks like an Ayrshire with a dash of Jersey blood. Many of the COWS plainly show the Jersey characteristics, while the Ayrshire color largely predominates. They are as gentle as sheep. They are above the average as milkers, and the milk IS of excellent quality, A typical picture of the head and shoulders of one of this new breed" is shown in the illustration

He Changes to Stone.


 One of the most remarkable human curiosities ever seen has been examined by M. de Quatrefages, tho French natur- alist. Ho is provincial named Simeon Aiguier, and is 80 years old. Aiguier, thanks to his peculiar system of muscles and nerves, can transform himself in most wondrous fashion.
 At one moment, assuming the rigidity of a statue, his body may be struck sharply, the blows falling on a block of stone. At another he moves his intes- tines from above and below and right to left into the form of large football, and projects it forward, which gives him the appearance of a colossally stout person age.
 He then withdraws it into the thorax, opening like a cave, and the hollow look of his body immediately reminds one of skeleton. Aiguier successfully imi- tates man subjected to the tortures of the rack, as also man hanging himself, and assumes strikiugly cadaverous look. What most astonished M. de Quatrefages was the stoppage of the cir. culation of the blood, now on the left and now on the right side, which was effected by muscular contraction.-Cin. cinnati Commercial Gazette.

 While a Chicago, Burlington and Quincy freight train was coming from Burlington here recently the engineer noticed an eagle sitting on the track feasting on a rabbit.
 The eagle arose when the engine drew near, but the locomotive was running so rapidly that the big bird could not clear it. One of the wings Tapped into the wedge shaped space formed by the head light bracket and the extension at the front end of the boiler, and was held there as in wise. The fireman went forward and released the wing and car ried the eagle into the cab, where it showed fight and made things lively for the engineer, who finally cornered itand brought it here alive.
