Secretary CARLIsLE's plan to modify
the law compelling the Treasury to sell
bonds at fixed rates OF Interest so as to
allow the Secretary to issue the bonds
at lower rates OF interest and in small
denominations suited to popular sub
scription is a good one. He declares
that 'such bonds would afford to the
people at large al opportunity to con-
vert their surplus earnings into a form
Of security which, while it would be
perfectly safe, would not only increase
in value by reason Of accommodating in
terest, but be at all times available as a
means Of procuring money when need
ed; and the experience Of this and other
countries justlfes the confident belief
that such a plan would be popular and
successful"
This is simple and practicable and
would enable the Treasury to tide over
a deficit, maintain gold payments and
its credit. This method has been sue
cessfully pursued by France, which has
placed some huge loans.
The advantage would be that the
bonds would be mainly in the hands
OF our own people, thereby Great
ing a common interest in sustaining the
credit Of the Government. Mr.. CAR
Isles plan would also afford a sure
means OF maintaining at all times an
adequate gold reserve against the i'm

Nnr Al Fiction.

A telegraph operator tells John Smith
of the Buffalo Express that the jokes on
BOSTON culture are not all fiction. While

came over again TO the window
and asked again how much a WORD u

obviously. The other oma zane up

who now number about n hundred

This programme was very creditably
rendered. 1t was interspered with a
number OF musical. selections by Mr..
Frank ~Bartlebaugh, and concluded
with the 'tableaux "Clinging to the
Cross" and Evening Prayer" which
we're very pretty. Then the tapers
were lighted, the gas turned down and
Santa Claus, impersonated by Mr.. Han
son, came from behind the curtain.
II would be impossible to describe
the scene that followed. The boys
climbed over each other 10 a mad rush
to get near the basket Of candy which
be carried on his arm. In the scutfie
several of them were thrown upon the
floor, but II was all good natured, and
the faces OF the boys and girls were
radiant with happiness when they re-
ceived the candy. After being out a
short time Santa retired, and the pres
ents were distributed to the children.
A great many pairs of shoes, and
other articles of clothing, had been pre-
viously distributed in order to enable

HORSES RUBBING THEIR TAILS.

Rubbing the tail or name is due to
irritation of the skin caused by the
presence of a minute parasitic mite.
The one most common on horses is the
Sarcoptes equi, which burrows little
galleries in and beneath the scarf skin,
and in there it lays its eggs and the
young are Matched, and these proceed
to burrow further and in all directions,
increasing the irritation as they pro-
ceed. These parasites appear to pre-
fer either the name or tail, probably
because better protected by the long
hairs, but in time, if not destroyed,
they will spread TO all parts of the
body, the hair falling out, or will be
rubbed off wherever they become
numerous enough to cause severe itch
ing. There are various effective rene
dies in use, but very simple one is
strong tobacco water. First remove
the scabs and all loose surf by washing
and brushing the skin with warm soap
suds; then wash with liquor made b.,
soaking and boiling two ounces OF
etrong plug tobacco in three pints OF
water. This should be applied two or
three times, andthen again after about
two weeks, in order to kill any para
sites which may have Matched from the
eggs in the interval. A thin salve made
of equal parts of flowers of sulphur,
kerosene, and common lard, well
rubbed in after washing, will also de-
stroy these mites. The stall in which
your horse has been kept should be
well whitewashed or washed in carbolic
acid and water, else mites hidden in
the woodwork may find their way bacl,
to the afflicted animal. Acariasis, or
mango, in horses is far too common
among animals supposed to receive ex-
cellent care, but the frayed tail and
name show neglect in the way OF clean
illness. New York Sun.

10 PIT POTATOES.

The safest way to keep potatoes is
to pit them in the ground at least
eighteen inches deep. This keeps
them cool until they are taken in for
the winter. When the potatoes are
taken up they should be exposed to
the air, but not to the sun if it can be
avoided, for some hours, then heaped
in the pits as high as they will stay,
which is twenty-four inches for two
foot pit, enough for safety, as in too
large quantities they are apt to heat.
They are covered with boards placed
end wise, one end on the ground to
make sloping roof over them, and
straw is thrown over the boards to
keep them cool and dry. When the
winter comes earth may be heaped
over the straw, which should then be
made foot thick. A few wisps of the
straw are placed in top of the heaps to
make way of escape for the damp
ness or any heat that may arise in the
potatoes. New York Times.

Hh'e tnelr several BoOu qualltie5, 6nu
each breed has its own ardent support
ers. 1t will not always do to be guided
in the selection of stock by the praise
of the breeder. Every man
should judge for himself, profit
ing rs much as possible by his obser-
walton and experience. The stock of
whatever breed should be pure bred,
and the breed should be that which is
the best suited to the locality where
it is to be kept. That breed which
does best in one locality may not be
the best for another. Poor stock re-
quires as much feed as the good, and
profits are much less. The purpose of
the hog is to convert feed into pork,
and that hog which will produce the
most pork out of given amount of
feed is the one wanted. 1t may cost a
little more money to get the best, but
it will pay in the end. 1t is not wise
to put corn into hog that will not
make pork out of it, producing only
snout and bristles.
The feed for hogs, if ground, will
give enough better results than if fed
whole to amply repay the cost of grind
ing. Much of the grain is wasted
when not ground. The hog eats hur-
riedly and does not thoroughly masti-
cate his food, especially where num-
Der are together. Consequently, n
large portion of the grain passes
into his stomach in a condition unfit
for digestion, and fails to be assimi-
lated. With properly prepared food
the hog will also be kept in n healthier
condition. The greatest cause of in
digestion partially masticated grain
will be removed and the animal will
be stronger and will fatten more
rapidly. Improper food is source
of disease among hogs which is over
looked by many farmers. If more at
tention were given TO the proper
preparation of the food for hogs, we
would have much less disease among
the herds. The condition of the pens
also has much to do with producing
disease. Swine are often kept for
months in places that are absolutely
sickening. Sometimes it is in pens
knee deep in filth and mud, the stencil
of which is downright nuisance to
the whole surrounding neighborhood.
1t is no wonder disease among them is
so prevalent when their lives must be
spent in such places. The hog is, by
no means, natural lover of filth. In
his natural state he is cleanly in his
habits. 1t is only when forced to it
that he becomes the filthy creature
often seen. He thrives best near
clean, sandy stream.
Too many hogs should not be kept
in the same pen. When large num-
Der are penned together, they are not
only more wasteful of their feed, but
they are more liable to disease. 1t
will not cost much to divide the pens,
increasing the comfort of the ami
mails, saving feed and promoting
healthfulness. Wheat makes an ex-
cellent feed for hogs. If the price of
pork continues as high as it is likely to
be, Western farmers, who find wheat
easy to grow and yet cannot market
it for more than fifty cents per bushel,
will do well to convert it into pork,
as they will thus get better value
