FEED THE FIGS IN WINTER.

The well-known fact that animals do
not grow as rapidly or take on flesh as
readily in cold weather as in warm leads
many farmers to delay feeding grain to
their pigs until spring. Thus there Is a
long period In which very little growth
is made. Not only is time lost by this
method, but the ANIMALS get in a condi-
ton less favorable to fattening than they
were at an earlier period. If warm pens
are provided and suitable care is given,
feeding can be ~proftably conducted even
in the coolest weather. If these points
arc neglected the animals will return no
profit and make very little growth, even
though a moderate quantity of grain is
furnished America Ddiryman.

A Balloonist's Fright.

II. Hennequin, of Paris, France, who
has had some experience in aerial nava.
ton, arrived in the city yesterday from
San Francisco on his way home, and
during his stay in Chicago called on Mr..
Pennington, of airship fame, at the
Grand Pacific Hotel. Mr.. Hennequin
was in Fontenay at the time Tissiudler
and Cover had their startling adventure
in a balloon. The traveller is an intimate
friend of Cover, and tells the to Y of
their fall of a mile as the balloonlst re-
lated it to him.
''They assembled from Tissindler's
house in Paris, and Roated off toward
NIncennes, and rs the wind was some
what strong from the northeast, the two
men o disappeared from the view of
Paris, having risen to a height of about
1900 feet. When they had reached
Fontenay, they were fully 5000 feet
above the earth. They were sailing
along smoothly, watching the scenes be-
low, when suddenly they seemed to fall
into a hole in the atmosphere and down
they went at a terrific rate. Cover
glanced at the needle Of the v~erticle
scale. 1t was travelling with lighting
speed. A roar filled their ears, and both
men thought their time had come.
Nothing had happened to the balloon.
1t was in perfect condition, but there
seemed to be no air to hold it up. Tis-
sindler desperately threw out sand bags.
They were falling so rapidly that the
bags were left far behind and disap-
peared above them. The earth seemed
to be rushing at them with the speed of
a comet. There seemed to be no atmos-
phere left, and they could scarcely
breath. AS a last resort Tissindler
threw over the anchor and the remaining
ballast, and the big balloon, after a rush
of a mile through the sky, rogained its
poise, and they were saved. The earth
was but fifty feet below"
This goes to show" continued Mr..
Hennequin, ''that too much p~rec9ution
cannot be observed in carrying plenty of
ballast. There are in the air occasional
rarefactions and when a balloon once
gets into one of them it drops like a
piece of lead. Cover and Tissindler
sailed into a veritable pit in the air and
had they not had lots of ballast aboard
they would have been dashed to pieces. y

A Desirable Fruit Can.

The manufacture of automatic cans foi
canning fruits is now a great industry in
California, the machine for this purpose
being a master piece of ingenuity. The
process is begun by a set of steam scis-
sors cutting a piece of tin 1lx20 into
four parts, which is passed to a feeder,
then fed by a rosin hux of oil; then, by
means of clamps on a revolving wheel,
the can is formed, carried through its
various processes by means of steam

THE IDEAL DAIRY room.

Fresh grass, succulent and rich, is the
ideal food for the dairyman, and it pro-
duces more milk of a good quality than
any of the highly prepared foods in.
vented by man. This is the standard
summer food, and the dairyman needs
to initiate it for the ideal winter food so
near as possible. When the question is
analysed, it will be found that rich grass
produces plenty of fine milk because the
cows like it, and because it contains the
very best milk-producing elements. The
ideal winter food must then bear two
stamps upon it. 1t must be relished by
the COWS, and it must contain certain
constituents which can readily be turned
into milk. &C Courier Journal.

many villages nave prohibition. There has
been no general temperance agitation, but

the terrible effects of drink, and there is
now a class of total abstainers, numbering
some fifteen millions. These are the dissent
ers from the State church, and are the best

WHO BUILD THE LIQUOR PALACES,

In a paper presented TO the Twentieth An
nual Convention of the Catholic Total Absti-
nence Union of America, Mr.. T,V. Powderly
said:
Before the delegates to this convention
separate to go to their homes, l would ask
them to go on foot through the streets of
Pittsburg and study the temperance ques-
ton as they go. They will see handsome
buildings devoted to the sale of liquor on the
principal streets, and if they estimate the
cost of one of these buildings they will learn
that it runs away up into the thousands, far
above the reach of the workingman's income.
On one of the streets of Pittsburg will be
seen a saloon, the plate-glass front of which
Is worth S5OO0, the lar and fixtures are
worth $40, 900. the paintings and other decora-
atoms are valued at $1,000. All of this is
separate and apart from the building itself,
and of the plot of ground on which it stands.
Stand guard at the door for twenty-four
hours, and thousands of men will be seen
passing in and out. OF the number, nine
tenths will wear the garb of labor; they will
be the workers in the mill and factories that
make Pittsburg famous and foremost in the
history of manufacture in the United States.
Follow one of these men TO his home and
contrast its appearance, condition and sur
roundings with the palace he stopped at on
his way home, and not one lota of semblance
will been seen. Inquire if he owns the
house he lives in, and il is more than likely
that the answer will be in the negative. Ask
him why he cannot afford TO hive in a better
OF more comfortable home, and his reply
will he: 81 cannot afford it." Take a walk
through the entire city and it will be seen
that the palaces in which liquor is sold are
costly and we'll furnished, while the homes
of the toilers are cheap and poorly furnished.
Go still further and it will be discovered that
the men who live in the illy-ventilated,
poorly-furnished, stuffy, unhealthy tene-
ments or dwellings, are the very men whose
dimes and dollars have furnished the
Palaces Of He'll with plate-glass windows,
expensive bars and ~fixtdres, costly paintings
and neat surroundings"

The following suggestion we find in
american Garden:
Take a hogshead and bore two or three
holes in the bottom. Set it down its full
depth in the ground, on a slant, SO that
the southern side is six inches lower than
the northern. Take some good fresh
stable manure and thoroughly mix with it
an equal quantity of leaf mold OF good
Fich soil. Let this lie in a heap until fer
#entation has taken place, which will be
) two or three days, when it should be
tnrned and allowed to heat and fer
nent two or three days longer. Then
put it in the hogshead and tread well
down until the latter is about half full,
allowing it to stand till heating takes
place again. Fill in with six inches of
equal parts of well rotted manure and
garden mold well mixed. Cover with a
sash. II sash is not convenient, a large
piece Of coarse muslin may be laid over
the head of the hogshead and fastened
by means of a tightly fitting hoop.
When the heat Of soil is about eighty
five degrees sow the seed. Water with
tepid water, and give air every pleasant
day by lifting the cover. On very cold
frosty nights, or in snowy weather, cover
With boards of mating. The seeds may
BE sow in drills, and the plants thinued

A striking signboard may sometimes
be the means Of making its owners
fortune. There are plenty of places in
New York where old umbrellas are
mended, but the west side member who
put up the sign "Umbrolla Hospital"
struck m idea that none of his rivels had
thought of. People laughed at it, took
a second glance at it, looked at the
place, and told their acquaintance about
it, thus advertising the umbrella hospital
and sending customers to it. Unless the
signs fail, that signboard will yet enrich
its inventor .-Detroit Free Press.

TEMPERANCE.


NtNNA AA6 N0NAH
Crouched on the dingy, old stone pier,
Watching the water dark and deep,
Sits poor, old, blear-eyed Carl lie Mere,
Mutring as one in troubled sleep;
90 artful fiend, with cursed bowl,
You've robbed me of all that man counts
dear;
Drowned all my hopes, my life, my soul
Now mock in delight at my pain and fear.
'Friends, home, happiness heaven and rest,
Relentless you've taken. What have ]
nowT'
The voice rose higher; the hands were
pressed
In anguish against the fevered brow;
"For all of this, o fiend accurst,
What have you given2 You answer
we'll
It sweeps DER my soul in burning thirst,

Mutring, and gazed in the water deep;
'Oh, for an end of the gnawing pain,
oh, for the old-time restful sleepl
Water, you ever have been a friend,
Cover and hide my wretched face;
Let ms come to the bitter end,
Graded at last In thy cool embrace"
The veil of twilight sank over day,
Along the headlands the beacons shone;
But never a cheering, hopeful ray
Came TO that soul as it watched alone.
The night wind echoed the sailors song,
The waves moaned sadly against the pier;
They had not meant to do a wrong
In answering poor old Carl lie Mere.
Sadly they sobbed along the shore.
And laid their burden upon the sands.
Then rolled away, with mufled roar,
To beat the death march" in other

And passers look on the wreck, shore

And looking, linger to count the cost

All staked with a demon, and lost-all

health. Did the fathers whisky -drinking
have anything to do with these facts9 The
instance may be duplicated in almost every
community. Think over the families Of your
acquaintance in which the father has long
been a moderate drinker, and observe the
facts as TO the health of the children. The
superintendent of a hospital for children at
Berne, Switzerland, has found by careful
observation, that only forty-five per cent. of
hose whose parents used intoxicating liquors
habitually had good constitutions, while
sighty-two per cent. of the children of tenn
perate parents had sound bodies. OF the
children of inebriates only six per cent. were

MAKE A TEST OF THE srbo.

The farmer who has not yet tried a
silo and is feeding corn stalks cured in
the field would do well to find out the
nearest silo and go and interview the
owner of it and see for himself the re-
suits. If he can get in his hay for 81. SO
per ton, all costs counted, he may go on
making and feeding hay and leave the
silo to others, but if his hay costs him
more than that he will find the silo an
economy, even to store his green clover
in.-Noio York Times.

GRINDING CORN AND COB TOGETHER.

For a long time corn-cob meal was
divided, because analysis did not show
that it had much nutritive value. Yet
the story of the woman who kept her COW
mainly on corn cobs and refuse from the
table and kitchen showed that cobs had
some value. The experience of farmers
also confirmed the value of corn cobs
when ground with the grain. Corn meal
alone is too condensed food. 1t packs
in the stomach, and even mixed with cut
~hay it is too heavy feed for horses.
Grinding the cob with it enables the sa-
liva to mix through the mass, and more
of the nutritive value of the grain is ex-
tracted. But it is important that the
cob be ground as finely as possible. If
the cob is moist, as it is apt to be early
in the winter, it will pay to mix equal
parts of oats or barley with it before
grinding. This enables the miller to
grind even damp corr and cob much
finer than would otherwise be possible.
Unground pieces of cob are indigestible,
and instead of making the meal more nu-
tritive they detract from it.-Bostoa CuE-
tiUdtor.
