National Stockman and Farmer:
There are In the country many
persons who "practice medicine"
on our dumb animals in a way that
If it were applied to the human
family would soon be stopped by
rigid laws. A great many who do
not know enough or do not care to
take the responsibility of doctor
ing humanity drop into the rank
of veterinarians, and the results of
their carelessness and ignorance
are seen wherever they locate.
And this is likely one reason why
so many hesitate to patronize
veterinary practitioners. The
amount of damage that has been
and is being done by incompetent
men of this profession is enormous,
and strict laws should be enforced
in every state to keep quaeks and
ignorant men from "practicing" on
valuable stock. There are, how
ever, many intelligent and compe-
tent veterinarians, and the skill of
such should be more generally
than advantage of than is the case
at present. A good veterinarian
is a useful man, but any other
kind is q double Iujury-to his
patrons and to his profession.

The stockholders of the Wash
ington County Compress and Manu-
featuring company held a meeting
Tuesday afternoon to. make Geo. Il.
McFadden & Co., proposition TO
sell them one of their congresses.
This firm is represented here by
Mr.. VIM. Axer who is now absent
in Philadelphia for the purpose of
making final arrangements about
erection of a compress, if the pro,
position of this company does
not suit them. The stockholders
were divided as to the amount they
were willing to sell for, some of
them holding out for S65,OOO while
some of them argued that if another
compress was erected here it would
depreciate the value of their proper
ty, and they favored Offering it for
100000. 1t was finally agreed to
leave it to the secretary to submit
the proposition and ali agreeing to
abide by his action.

Early Maturing Cattle,

Early maturing hogs have long
since been acknowledged to be the
most profitable, and the problem
how to create such hog has long
since been solved. The early ma
turing beef animal, however, is yet
to be created, and it will be
great boon when and how to do this
has been learned. The New York
Tribune acknowledges this and
says: How can q grade Of cattle
be obtained which will mature
early, be of good size, active In
quest of food, even on steep rocky
ground or in deep SHOWS, be hardy
at trying times, yield fine-fibered,
juicy quality of beef, and generally
be likely to increase the ranch.
mans profit? No effort has been
made to develop specific type OF
stock to make the most out of our
native heritage. All the cross
breeding attempted has been the
result of circumstances, and there
is so much disparity in marketed
heads that the buyer Is able to
make the price of the inferior
kinds standard by which to
secure the best, and it is on the
latter his best profit Is obtained.
An improved and a really salts
factory kind of stock suitable for
general range purposes has not
yet boon called into being. a
sklllful, palnstaklng breeder can
make money by devoting himself
to that particular end.

Fires and the Open Window.

1t is needless TO point out the
good that a fire will do in keeping
a room free from damp and all un-
wholesome moisture, and in many
climates frequently saving vslu-
able neutrality-suspicious. IN partlcu-
lar-from decay, nay, often ruin.
But it must be clearly understood
that it is not the air which is purl-
fed, but that a new, fresh and
wholesome atmosphere has re-
placed the one that has been used
up. In short, infected air has
been rarefed by the heat, and pro-
per ventilation beng provided 1t
expels itself from the apartment.
Fire and combustion in general, so
far from purifying polluted air,
actually deteriorate prodigious
quantity OF 1t in a short time.
Therefore not only a common
fire, but even lighted candle Ito
say nothing of lamps or gas), when
kept in a we'll closed Cor, more
properly speaking, an IL closed)
room, wherein the extornal air has
not free access, renderers the air
of that room noxious in an in
credibly short space of time. The
remedy is In our own hands. 1t is
for US mothers and housewives not
only to give instructions, but to
personally see that the upper sash
of at least one window in each liv-
ing room is opened all day long,
and then gradually to accustom
ourselves, our children, and all
over whom we have control, to
sleep with them in that position
We should quickly find our own
restless nights become peaceful.
while our little ones would have
the proper proportion of oxygen
so essential to their young lives

Keeping Machinery from Rusting.

A mechanic says that in order to
keep machinery from rustlng he
takes one ounce of eamphor and
dissolves it in pound of melted
lard, taking off the scum, and mix
ing in as much fine black lead as
will give it color. The machinery
is then cleaned and smeared with
this mixture. After twenty-four
hours the machinery is rubbed
clean with soft linen cloth, and 1t
will keep clean tor months. The
same artisan gives the following
method of hardening tools: Forgl
the tool into shape, the melt in a
dish sufficient Babbltt metal to
cover the end of the tool as far as
it is wished to harden it. Thrust
the tool into the metal and let it
cool. This method makes the tool
much harder than cooling in oil or
tempering by any other process

The Jas. G. Blaine" correspon-

letter inasmuch as that style of

adopted. The campaign for her

Quoted on basis that invited all the
much needed outside help we could
get, and while this correspondent no
doubt meant well, his letter does
not portray the situation and was
unfornately imprudent and has been
universally condemned by her Bren-
