GOOD WINTER COVERING FOR ROSES.

Lay down your hybrid perpetual
roses, and cover them in some way,
writes L. E. Rexford. l find nothing
better than leaves, but if you cannot
get these use hay, or straw, or ever
green branches. l have often win
tered plants finely by simply covering
them with soil. This answers very
well if there is good drainage about
the plants, so that water is not re.
tanned in the soil long enough to in
jure the wood of the branches. But
the better way is to lay the branches
down in close mass, all pointing one
way, and set boards six or eightinches
high, on each side. Fill in between
the boards, and over the bushes with
leaves, upon which place evergreen
branches to prevent their blowing
away. Hay and litter will not require
anything to hold them in place, but
it is a good plan to lay boards over
the whole in such a manner us to shed
rain. Agriculturist.

Amenities of Mar.

Archibald Forbes says that the alb
stract theory of the amenities of
war" is preposterous. You strain
every effort to reduce your adversary
to impotence; he falls wounded,
whereupon, should he come into your
hands, you promptly devote all your
exertions to saving his life and restor-
ing him to health and vlgor, in order
that he may go home and swell the
ranks of your enemy. This is no
doubt humanity, but it is supremely
illogical.
Marriott recounts in his memoirs per-
haps the most absurd application ever
made of the theory of the 'ameni-
ties" In the battle of Austerlitz q
body of beaten Russians, about five
thousand strong, strove to escape
across the ice on the Satschan Lake.
Napoleon ordered his artillery to fire
ON the ice, which was shattered, and
men and horses slowly settled down
into the depths, only a few escaping
by means of poles and ropes thrust
out from shore by the French.
Next morning, Napoleon, riding
round the positions, saw q wounded
Russian officer clinging to an ice foe
n hundred yards out, and entreating
help. The Emperor became intensely
interested in the succol Of the man.
After many failures, Marriott and an
other officer stripped and swan out,
gradually brought the ice foe toward
the shore and laid the Russian at
Napoleon's feet
The Emperor evinced more delight
nt this rescue than he had manifested
when assured of the victory of Aus
terlitz. He had no conjunction as to
the fate of the unfortunates whom his
artillery practice of the day before had
sent to their death.

HrnnoiIsm for the Dent.

Principal Currier, of the Now York
Institution, has startled the scientific
world by his theory that hypnotism
may, in certain cases, be successfully
applied with view 20 give hearing TO
the deaf. The average individual
knows little or nothing concerning
the "eerie science" as some writer's
term it, but scientific and medical men
have shown it be of value in mental
diseases, and, we believe, in surgery.
1t would be folly to say that it is GER
tainly going to prove efiicacious in re-
moving deafness; still the theory ad-
vanced and the arguments used are
plausible enough to justify experiment.
All the great inventions that are now
being of so much service to mankind
were ridiculed and denounced at the
and Principal Currier will
be exceptionally lucky il his theory is
not maltreated and abused by unbc-
levers. Results will show whether
his position is tenable or Otherwise

WARMTH IN TIE HEN HOUSE.

In the very coldest weather we
think it pays to introduce artificial
heat into the hen house. A small coal
stove does not cost much, and fire
in it made once a day Will keep the
temperature right and the fowls will
be as happy as in springtime. 1t is
cold weather quite as much as the diff
ference in feed that makes eggs scarce
in winter. Besides, in the coolest
weather there is always temptation to
feed corn for warmth. The stove in
the hen house, carefully guarded
against fire, is cheaper as well as better
for the fowls than giving them corn
diet so as to keep them warm. -Bos-
ton Cultivator.

pretty sure to be unsound, and many
purchasers would refuse to take such
a horse at any price.
In feeding wheat to horses this
winter it should be remembered that
this danger is always present. It may
be fed in small quantities along with
oats, so that no real harm may follow,
but as rule il is the worst possible
food for horses used on the road. It
makes them lazy, slothful, fat and
overheated. If one wishes to make
fat instead of muscle, in the form Of
good bran, wheat can be fed along
with hay or oats very successfully.
Old stations do well on a diet of one
part oats and three parts of wheat, for
1T makes them more vigorous in the
stud, but fat and lazy.
There is time in q horses life when
wheat can be fed with great success,
and that is rs n medicine to a mare
with foal that is apt to have abortion.
AS soon rs the mares begin to get
loose, they should be fed some wheat.
A pint of clean, sound wheat, mixed
with two quarts of clean, sound oats,
should be fed night ard morning for
three days. BY that time the trouble
will stop. Where a sucking foal has
the scours pint of wheat flour in a
pail of water will generally remedy
the evil. Sometimes little wheat
mixed with the feed will answer the
same purpose. Wheat is constipating
and it consequently has its value in
the feed economy, but it is hardly the
kind of feed we need for our horses as
n regular diet. et.-Germantown Tele-

The time is at hand when the wise
and merciful man will see to it that
his live stock are properly sheltered
during the winter months. Warmth
and comfort are essential to health
and thrift. If they are not provided
an attempt to supply them will be
made by an increased consumption of
food. This is costly substitute and
an unsatisfactory one, as it cannot
prevent the check which the growth
will receive. Like all substitutes. it
sometimes fails to accomplish the end
designed, and the animal then grows
sick and weakly.
If, on the other hand, the animal is
toughenei and hardened - exposure,
what is gained? Thee feed he has
consumed is more valuable than the
shelter which would have avoided its
need, his stunted growth will never be
made up, and the toughening and
hardening of his constitution, on
which so much stress is often laid, has
resulted in deterioration in quality.
The native steer is harder than the
ShoIthorn, but which makes the best
beef? The scrub COW will bear more
exposure than the delicate Jersey, but
which yields the richest milk? II is a
law of nature that improvement,
whether in man or beast, is accom-
panied with a certain amount of deli
cncy. If we desire the former we
must be willing to give the necessary
care to counterbalance the latter. -

FARM AND eARrEN NOTES.

Milk is eighty-seven per cent water.
Cheese is the most concentrated form
of milk.
Silage of corn and clover is believed
to be the fodder of the future.
Dairy salt is as sensitive as milk or
cream to odors, aud should be equally
guarded from them.
Like corn, wheat is better for slow,
hard work, than for speed. Oats and
hay are best for fast-goers.
Feed alone will never control the
value of milk. The individuality of
the COW has much to do with it.
Wheat is more n growth than a fat
producer, is good for young animals,
but should be coarsely ground before
feeding.
Grain alone is too highly concen-
trated food for horses. They must
have some "roughness" with it, such
-as hay, straw or fodder.
The man who expects the biggest
success in dairying must have dairy
cows. The all-around COW is not and
never will be shining success.
Cultivation may be stopped late in
the season, and crop can then be
sown upon the land. This crop may
serve as cover or protection to the
soil, and as green manure.
Trotting stock, except for extreme
speed, is suffering from over-produc-
tioD, but there is and probably always
will be profitable market for hand
some, useful, half.bred hackneys.
Never believe the man who SAYS he
can remove a spavine of ring bone and
leave no blemish Even if he calls
himself professor, do not question
his title-that is what he is and all
he is.
Two parts each of bran and ground
wheat and one of chopped oats make
the best ration for brood mares. They
should be given about three pounds of
it, three times a day, with hay or
straw.
Feed that will make pound of beef
will make pound of butter or two
pounds of cheese. If butter and
cheese bring more than beef there is
money in dairying, rather than stock
raising.
Barn manures are generally more
economically used when applied to
farm crops than when applied to or
chards; yet they can be used with
goodresults, particularly when rejuve-
mating old orchards.
Whole wheat should not be fed to
horses, they swallow it without chew
ing, and it ferments in their stomachs,
Indigestion and collie, or
passes through unchanged. 1t should
be either soaked to burst the grains,
or eoarsely ground, for the same pur-
pose.
In general, the commercial complete
fertilizers are less practical for or
chards than fertilizer made for the
occasion out of materials evidently
NEEDED by the trees; but the com.
plete fertilizers give much better re-
suits than the prevailing indifference
and neglect.
Any COW that will give less than
twelve pounds of solids in every 100
Of her milk, three pounds of which
should be butter fat, is not profitable,
and should be converted into beef.
There should be thirteen pounds of
solids in every 100 Of milk, with four
pounds Of actual butter fat.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Stunning WOOL GARMENTS.

A thing about which women are apt
to be careless is the proper summing and
airing of their wool garments. Men
of refinement are most particular TO
see that each wooden suit is hung out
of doors after single wearing, as
they realize that colored worsteds new
er quite lose the smell of dye and also
contract an unpleasant animal odor,
even when the person is kept scrupu-
lously clean. In this matter il is
wise to give both skirts and coats an
occasional summing, and winter, rs we'll

somewhat unpleasant after continued

sary to let the moisture penetrate the

One method suggested for keeping
apples during the winter is TO pack
them in perfectly dry oats, not per.
mitting one apple to touch the other.
If wrapped in paper before packing in
the oats the apples will keep all the
better. They may be packed in boxes
or barrels, and il put up in an attrac.
tive manner will bring good prices.
Apples have been higher in price than
oranges for the past four or five years,
and are always salable after cold

DANGER or FEEDING WHEAT TO HORSES.
This winter n great many are adj
vocating or considering the advisable
ity of feeding wheat to horses on ac-
count of the cheapness of this feed.
and few have raised the alarm against
such practice. While this grain NAV
prove of advantage to hogs and other
animals, it is certainly unsuited to
horses, except in the very smallest
quantities, and then more as medicine
than as food. 1t is much better for
an old horse than for young growing
animal, and while it may be fed with
impunity to n horse twenty or thirty
years old, it will, in nine cases out Of
ten, founder young one.
If some of the old horse breeders
and farmers can look back thirty or
forty years, they will remember when
wheat was fed quito literally 60 horses,
and tho term "grpin founder" then
became very generally known through
hard experience. This is the worst
