Live Stock and Farm Notes.

Plan to secure plenty of forage for win ter feeding.
 An animal raised on the farm will rarely bring disease.
 A patch of early maturing corn will os. ten help to commence feeding early.
 Early planting and thorough cultivation is the best protection against drouth.
 With stock-raising it is steady go-ahead. ativeness that secures the best success.
 Sowing millet is good remedy when there is a short crop of hay in the mead ows
 Always breed to improve; never take q step backward, and especially so with horses.
 In an average season, shallow, level cultivation will give the most profitable results
 Plan the work ahead, so that as nearly as possible, everything can be done in good season.
 The condition of the wool when sent to market will make a considerable difference in the price.
 In localities subject to drouth it will pay in many cases, to cover late psiatoes with wheat straw.
 A few acres in some special ciop, given special attention, will pay the most profit of any on the farm.
 The advantage in using commercial fer tilizers is that generally a larger per cent of them is readily soluble
 The form of the animal and the quality depend upon the breed, but the growth and development depend entirely upon the feed. A sandy, loamy soil is best for root crops of all kinds, and with good prepara- tion and cultivation very large yields are readily possible.
 There is no better place to raise good colts than on an American farm, where the mares can work the greater part of the time and also raise good colts
 Clean, thorough cultivation is just as necessary with fruit as any crop grown on the farm, and the more thoroughly It is given the better will be the results secured.

Poultry Notes.

It Is sometimes necessary to assist ducks out of the shell, but rarely if ever chickers
 The tendency of wheat fed whole is to produce healthy growth and to aid mate- rially in laying eggs
 In n majority of cases it is impossible 10 compete with incubated chickens as re- gards earliness
 Size and condition count more in mar ket than any particular shade or color, es pecially with young poultry.
 Ducks and geese can be picked whenever their feathers are ripe there is no advaut- age in letting them go to waste.
 After they are three weeks old cracked wheat can be fed to young poultry to good advantage especially as a change.
 The best breed of geese for feathers Is the Embder. They are entirely white, and white geese feathers bring the best prices.
 In many cases hens can be more easily induced to set if they are placed upon the eggs as soon as it is dark, rather than in the morning
 If tho young growing turkeys show signs of leg weakness mixing little bone meal with their food will be found an advaut- age.
 bucks uo not nave tne cnoiern, crouP or gapes, and hawks do not bother them they will lay more eggs and the eggs will hatch better than hen eggs.
 The advantage of matching guineas under common hens is, that properly managed they are usually more gentle than if the guinea hens are allowed to hatch them out and raise them.
 While old hens usually lay larger eggs than bullets the shape of the egg has little or nothing to do with the life germ and if the broad end is smooth and the egg is properly fertilized it will hatch.

Guinea Fowls.

It is pity that more guinea fowls are not kept by farmers. Their quaiat call and shy habit show that they arc not far removed from game birds, which almost everywhere are disap- bearing. No kind of fowl lays so many eggs. Their meat is dark colored, and to those unaccustomed to game it is sometimes not thought good; but this wild flavor is just what very many like, and more would if they tried to overcome prejudice. The guinea fowl in any yard is one of the best defences of domestic fowls from hawks or other feathered enemies. They see such marauders very quickly, and instantly give the warning which the instinct of every birS in the yard has taught it to recognize and heed.

Paint for Shingles.

A correspondent asks advice as to a good quality of cheap oil or paint for his shingle roofs or barns. Country Gentleman recently advised as the most economical application for outdoor woodwork a wash of crude petroleum, either of light or heavy oil, but best of a mixture, It is not a paint, for it im- mediately sinks into tho pores of the wood and renders it more durable, like cedar. A small intermixture of some coloriag matter, like ochre, remaining on the surface of the wood. will partly affect the color, but is not necessary.

eEAUrY's PRESENTER.
What Women should Do to Withstand
 tho Ravages of Time.

Nue IShVuSeS OI Itmes
 Women who wish to retain their youthful look and graceful carriage should give more attention to the build ing up of firm flesh and plump muscles by healthy bodily exercise, which brings not only clear complexions aud bright eyes. but health and happiness and a fuller enjoyment of life in every sense of the word. Particularly it is useless to put faith in so-called com plexion beautifiers and lotions for Rs- moving wrinkles.
 They are simply caused by flabty condition of the muscles of the parts where they appear Some fibers of a small music being inserted in the in- tegument near the outer angle of tho eye, for example. each contraction of the parts allows little wrinkles to ap- pear. This need not, and does not, make permanent ones. It is only wken the muscle has lost it's fullness froM ill-health or age that these little lines radiating from the outer angle of the eyes become ''crow's-feet." What ss true of the muscles of these parts ;s equally true of other parts of the face and body.
 It is the duty of every woman to be as charming as possible, and there are many simple remedies for softening the skin which are not injurious. It Is the bleaching fluids which some women use indiscriminately, which destroy all healthy functions of the skin. that the wise woman will do we'll to avoid. Alum is one of the ingredients used in tanning leather. It is also the founda- tion of many complexion washes. No comment is needed. To grow old gracefully is possible to every woman, and to battle with wrinkles is practi- eally useless, except good physical de- velopment be the first consideration.
 The latest schools for the rounding out of the muscles teach series of bending and turning which, if properly applied, tend to keep the contours of the body symmetrical. Wise physi- cians sometimes shake their heads and declare that this form of physical cult ure may be carried to excess. All wo- men may not have all the time or means to follow this course, but all who wish to retain youthful appearan ce will keep every function of the body as nearly normal as possible.
 Many bodily conditions conform to the mental. Depression of spirits is being recognized by the physicians as q condition of the body indicative of disease. and very difficult one to con- tend with. Women seem particularly liable to fall into this condition, and there is no surer enemy to good looks, Lead an active life, cultivate cheer ful spirit, make each day so full of use fitness and loving kindness to others as to leave no time for small and petty thoughts. which dwarf the mind. just as noble thoughts and aspirations help to mako Q beautiful countenance; re- membering that to havo performed well our part in life, constantly aiming after that which is good will give 2 contentment of mind conducive to health and happy old age.

LIKE TO BE HUMBUGGED.
What Woman Physician Says About tn
 Wants of Patients,

Wants of Patients.
 A woman physician in the city told the Woman a most remarkable thing a conscientiousness to keep physician from becoming quack," she said. dts such an easy thing to quack when your patient wants you to, and that because the patient wants it. it would perhaps be beneficial in the end. By quacking l mean resorting to clap-trap and unscientiic methods, such as the physician has any idea how great a de- mand there is for this among intelli- gent people,
 "They don't want the honest straightforward exhibition of the action of drugs on the body. They want a mystery about it. an exhibition of heal ing as divine force something that appeals to the imagination. And be- cause it's a subject for the imagination the demand comes not from the ignor- ant and minimizing. but from the most intelligent and best-informed people.
 T have known some of the most logical and clear-headed people in this city to offer such resistance to sclentific rational measures in medical treatment and insist so strongly upon some il- legitimate and inadequate course, as to put the honest physicians patience to its last resorts.
 1t isn't quite that they like to be humbugged. They don't know 1t for that though the physician does. They want something for the imagination to l work on. And that's the stronghold of the quack practitioner. It takes an honest man or woman to practice med icine honestly. New York Sun.

One of the best jobs in car tracing that
was ever done in this country was complet
ed about three weeks ago by o car-tracer
of the New York Central. That road had
lost car, and sent out the tracer to look
it up. He followed it west to Pittsburg,
then to Cincinnati, then to Chicago, and
from there to St. Louis. Here he lost track
of it, but after some search found it, it had
been in an accident and had been rebaint-
ed. BY some oversight the number
had been changed, but taking the new
number, he chased the car to Kansas City,
where he found it had been loaded and
sent on to Galveston. To Galveston he
went, and there found that after taking a
fresh load, the car had gone on to San
Francisco. He went after it, but on reach
ing San Francisco found the Car had z oae
back to Galveston. By this time his blood
was up, and he made up his mind to find
that car If it took the balance of his natu r
al life. So he went back to Galveston, and,
to make o long story short. followed that

to half dozen places in Florida, then
back to New Orleans, to Galveston
again, and thence to Kansas City, and from
there to Chicago. He had now been on the
hunt for over three months, but had got so
close to the runaway that just as he came
into Chicago by one road the car left it
over another on its way to Buffalo. Its load
was consigned to that point, and when he
ascertained the fact he telegraphed on to
have the car held, and took the next train
East. At Buffalo he came up with the car
and caught his first sight of it. He had
travelled almost constantly for over thirteen
weeks, traversing distance Of 10000 or

On Thanksgiving eve had o grand mas

well attended by the elite of our town and
as none were admitted except those who
got printed invitation there were none
but the best of society there. Dancing
was enjoyed until midnight, when all re-
paired to Blinn's g Hotel for supper which
was grand, and we claim Blinn's Hotel is
second to none in the county. After supper
some went back to the ball room and the
others went home. There we're some fifty

were removed.

The special committees appointed to
devise new method of making Congress
ionsi nominations for this district met in
New Castle, Wednesday, and We hope tney
viii agree upon the popular vote system,
as that is the only fair way, and the one
that should be adopted for all county,
district and state nominations. The ar
gument that . candidate for Congress could
not make himself sufficiently known in 30
comparatively small stretch ofcountry a.
the average Congressional district Is ao-
surd; and the other argument. that IL
would cost much more, is not true. II
would not only cost less, but it would
give poor but worthy man chance az
the Office. Under the conferee system the
candidates themselves, through their con-
ferees, did the bargaining and in dis
trict Of which this County was part, We
heard Of one candidate offering another
ten thousand dollars for the district nomi'
nation. Under the present delegate system
or any delegate system that can be DEVISED
the candidates will "set up" the delegates
and pay their expenses; and there will DO
bargaining; and cheating and buying and
selling, az we have learned by sad experience
$50 let us try the popular vote system
Our late legislature passed wonderfully
intricate election law, one designed to
secure fAir elections; but SO long as two
m en- and their agents, control all the I'M
portant nominations, all over the state,
what practical benefit can any such law be
to rs.
Since the above was put in type we
learn that the Committees could not agree
and that they adjourned to meet again on
Jan. 9th, at same place.
