FOR USE IN DRESSING A BEEF.

of the roller (see Fig. 2),care being
taken that the roller shall lie horizon
tai and remain so during the ascent.
The roller is made of hard wood,
about inches in diameter and "a
inches long, from shoulder to shoulder.
Six inches additional at each end are
cut down to diameter of pa inches
next the beveled shoulder, while the
outer end is nearly 8 inches in diam
eter. The pins for the ropes are 8
inches apart, and between these pins
two holes are bored through the roller
at right angles to each other and a
few inches apart, in which handspikes
are used.
When the animal has been killed and
partially skinned, the tripod is set up
over it, the center pole to the rear, and
the pair of other poles forward. This
disposition of the poles places them
least in the way of the operators. The
pointed ends of the roller are inserted
under the large tendon just above the
hook joint, and these being sloped in
ward, the carcass cannot slip off even
when sawed asunder. The ropes are
hung on the forward side of the roller,
and the handspikes may be used in
that direction. The animal is raised a
few feet, and held in this position by a
stick laid across the ropes (see Fig. u,
and the dressing proceeds. The disad.
vantage is that the roller soon passes
out of reach from the ground, but this
is met from below by the use of box
or barrel, on which the operator stands
while using the spikes. When fully
dressed, the fore quarters may be cut
nway singly. The hindquarters are
lowered within easy reach and both
taken off at once.-S. P. Hull, in Rural
New Yorker.

Ground Grain for pouItrv.

A mixture of bran, middlings, ground
oats and corn meal is better than corn
meal alone, for the reason that the
bran and miidlings contain more pro-
tein and mineral matter than corn
meal and also better serve to provide
material from which to produce eggs.
Occasionally proportion of linseed
meal may be added, by way of variety,
but cotton-seed meal has not been
found as serviceable for poultry as for
cattle. Nearly all kinds of ground
food may be used, and the greater the
variety the better; but no single kind
should be used exclusively.

A Bank
Failure.
AN INVESTIGATION
DEr1ANDED.

A general banking business is done by
the human system, because the blood de-
posits III its vaults whatever wealth we may
gain from day to day. This wealth is laid
up against :" a rainy day" as a reserve fund
we're in condition of healthy prosperity
if we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon i'll the hour of our greatest need.
There is danger i'll getting thin, because il s
a sign of letting down in health. To gain
i'll blood is nearly always to gain i'll 5ehoie-
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia,
If our liver be inactive and our blood inn
pure or if our flesh be reduced beiozO a
healthy standard. What is required is an
increase in our germ .Jfe ehtine' strength. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood and makes it wholesome, stops
the waste of tissue and at the same time
builds TIP the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood of its poisous, cleanse and
invigorate the great organs of the body,
vitalize the system. thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
of it, is surely a remedy of great value. But
when we make positive statement that eS
per cent. of all cases of consumption can il
taken i'll the early stages of the disease, be
CURED with the Discovery" it seems like
bold assertion. All DR.. Pierce asks is that
you make thorough investigation and
satisfy yourself of the truth ofhis assertion.
By sending to the Worlds Dispensary Med
ical Association, Buffalo, n. Y, you can get
free book with the names, addresses and
photographs of a large number of those

Cleanrlpess In the Poultry House.

Cleanliness means not only to care
fully remove the droppings twice a
week, or, what is better, every day,
but also to whitewash occasionally.
The nests must be frequently renewed,
the roosts anointed with kerosene oil
and insect powder busted in every
crack and crevice. The object should
be not only to destroy all odors, and to
render the atmosphere pure, but also
to make it as uninviting as possible
for lice. Do not undertake to keep
poultry unless you are willing to do
these things, for should neglect occur
there will be no profit, and r'nch dis.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

A SMOOTHING harrow run over the
wheat field early in spring will benefit
the crop. The harrow will not injure
the young plants.
Hoes are inbred more than any other
animals on the farm. Many diseases of
swine are caused by a lack of vigor, due
TO inbreeding.
Now THAT the tools must be kept in
order the grindstone will be found of
valuable service. A grindstone pays for
itself every year.
GREEN peas may be planted just as
soon as the ground permits. They are
hardy and thrive best when planted
early in the season.
Do YOU raise calves from your best
cows only? l. your best cows make $40
year more than your poorest cows
this is 5 per cent. interest on $500.
Now is the time to make the hotbed
and get ready for the early plants.
Labor can be given such matters now
with less cost than to delay until next
month.
THE farmer who buys hran, mid
dlings and linseed meal for his cows
will make a large profit or the in
creased value of his manure and save
loss of fertility.
The National Nurseryman suggests
that originators turn their attention
toward the Improvement of the black
berry and raspberry in the line of re.
ducing the size of the seeds.

Soil for Orchard Grass.

This grass will do well on any kind
of good, fertile land, but best on u
moist, but not wet, clayey soil. On
such soil it grows with great luxu-
rance, and has deep green color not
seen on lighter and dryer land. 1t
grows fully five feet tall on such land.
and makes very good hay, but lighter
than timothy. 1t ripens month be-
fore timothy, and should not be sown
with this grass 1t is in a good condi-
tion for cutting when the small red
clover is, and thus these two go we'll
together. But the orchard grass will
continue for a great many years, and
makes every year good hay and pas
ture during the summer. Where the
winters are mild, as in the southern
states, this grass will supply pasture
during the whole winter. The seed Il
light aud weighs only twelve pounds
a bushel. Two bushels to the acre are
usually sown.-Prairie Farmer.

POINTS cp A HORSE.
The Eye and tho Head Usually show tho
Animals Nature.

Henry Childs Merwin has paper In
the March Century on 1.-THE Horse
Market" from which the following is
extracted:
And this brings us to consider what
are the marks of good, serviceable
horse, such as most people want to buy.
The chief points are the eye and head;
for, whether on the score of safety or
of pleasure in ownership. the essential
thing is to have horse that is intelli-
gent and gentle, or one that is intelli-
gent and vicious, rather than stupid,
for stupid horses are the most danger
Gus of all. Every horse shows his char.
acter in his head and chiefly in the
eye, just as certainly as a man shows
his character in his face; although, as
in the case of men, it is not always
easy to read what is written in the
equine features. But as to horses Of
positive character, positively good or
positively bad, there need be no mis-
take. l once bought a mare of a deal
er, for n woman's use, without even
taking her out of the stable. She
seemed to be sound, and / felt sure
from her eye thas she was unusually
gentle and safe, and so she proved to
be. On the other hand, out of six or
eight horses shown to me at a sale sta
BILE ON another occasion, rejected one
the best in the lot otherwise-be-
cause his eye, though not absolutely
bad. was such as to arouse suspicion;
and the owner afterward admitted to
me that the animal was diffeIant from
the rest in being little mean"
| mention these instances to show
that any person of average intelligence
can learn, by taking pains, to read the
equine character. Horse-dealers and
trainers seldom make a study of this
matter, because they do not care about
it. What you should look for is a
large, clear, luminous eye; what you
should distrust is small eye, pro-
truding eye, sunken eye, an eye that
shows the white, glancing backward,
which indicates bad temper; and above
all, a CLASSY, tremulous eye, which it,
dicates stupidity. 1t is hard to de-
scribe, but easily recognized. There
should be considerable space between
the eyes. The ears and the carriage of
them are hardly less significant. Well
cut ears that move continually with a
general tendency to be pricked forward
indicate a good and lively disposition.
La.ge ears, if well shaped are better
than very small or mouse ears. Lop
ears, coarse ears, ears planted either
very far apart or very close together,
are to be viewed with great distrust.
Next in Importance to the head come
the feet. They should be of medium
size, neither steep like a mules, nor
fiat, but sloping at a medium angle.
The best feet are ''cup-shaped," that is,
SO formed that when you pick them up
they will hold water.
AS to the other points of horse, I
shall not attempt 20 go into details,
because l fear that they would convey
information only to those who do not
need it. But this may be said general
ly by way of advice: Avoid a long
backed or thin-waisted, still more a
long-legged, horse. Look for a COM
pact, rather low-standing beast. with a
good head, good eyes and well-shaped
ears, and you cannot go far wrong.

SERVED IN TWO WARS.
The Grip Almost Won Where the
Bullet Failed.
Our Sympathies Always Enlisted In the
Infrmities of the Veteran.
fErom ths Rsrala. NooastocE. Hal

(Fr0H the Herald, Woodstock, Vd)
There is an old soldier in Woodstock, Va,
who served in the war with Mexico and in
the war of the rebellion, Mr.. Levi McInturff
He passed through both these wars with
out serious wound. The hardships, how
ever, told seriously on him, for when the
grip attacked him four years ago it nearly
killed him. Who can look on the infirmi-
ties of a veteran without feeling of the
deepest sympathy' His townspeople saw
him confined to his house so Frustrated
with great nervousness that he could not
hold knife and fork at the table, scarcely
able to walk too, and as he attempted it, he
often stumbled and fell. They saw him
treated by the best talent to be had-but still
he suffered on for four years, and gave up
finally in despair. One day, however, he
was struck by the account of cure which
had been effected by the use of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. He Immediately ordered a
box and commenced taking them. He
says he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found its way to his
fingers and his hands which had been pal
sled assumed a natural color, aud he was soon
enabled to use his knife and fork at the
table. He has recovered his strength to
such an extent that he is able to chop wood,
shock corn and do his eegular work about
his home. He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock, but can walk across the
mountains. He is able to lift up tifty-two
pound weight with one hand and says he
does not know what DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have done for others, but knows that
they have done great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court day,
and was loud in his praises of the medicine
that had given him so great relief. He pur-
chased another box and took it home with
him. Mr.. McInturf is willing to make
affidavit to these facts.
The proprietorS of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
state that they are not patent medicine but
a prescription used for many years by an en-
inent practitioner who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing all
forms of weakness arising from watery
condition of the blood or shattered nerves,
two fruitful causes of almost every i'll to
which flesh is heir. The pills are also a
specific for the troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, all forms of weak
ness, chronic constipation, bearing down
pains, ETC., and in the case of men will give
speedy relief and effect permanent cure in
all cases arising from mental worry, over
work, or excesses of whatever nature They
are entirely harmless and can be given TO
weak and sckly children with the greatest
good and without the slightestdanger Pink

BARBLESS WIRE FENCE.
How to Build One That Has Given Sat

How to Build One That Has Given Sat-
isfaction.
Many thoughtful farmers object to
barbed wire, as each year serious acci-
dents to stock result from its use.
Where sheep and hogs, however, are
pastured, the plain wire needs to be
put close together below or the ami
mails will press them apart and crawl
through, especially when the posts
are located from 12 to 16 feet apart.
This can be overcome by the plan
shown in the sketch. Set the posts IA
feet apart, and put on the usual num-
Der of wires. With No IL wire cut
into the proper length, wrap one end
around the top wire, then wrap once
closely around the next one, and so on
until the bottom is reached, placing
three of these cross wires (a) between
each post. The manner of doing this

TO CLEAN CLOTHES.
A Washing Process which Removes Shine
and Soil.

and Soil.
The proper way of restoring old
clothes is as follows: Take, for in
stance, shiny old coat, vest or pair of
trousers of broadcloth, cashmere or
diagonal The scourer makes u strong,
warm soapsuds, and plunges the gar
ment into it, souses it up and down,
rubs the dirty places, and, if necessary,
puts it through second time; then
rinses it through several waters, and
hangs it up to dry on the line. When
nearly dry he takes it in, rolls it up for
an hour or two, and then presses it.
An old cotton cloth is laid on the out
side of the coat and the iron passed
over that until the wrinkles are out;
and the iron is removed before the
steam ceases to rise from the goods,
else they would be shiny. Wrinkles
that are obstinate are removed by lay
ing wet cloth over them and passing
the iron over that If any shiny places
are seen, they are treated as the wrin-
kles are-the iron is lifted while the
full cloud of steam rises and brings the
nap with it. Cloths should always nave
suds made specially for them, as in
that which has been used for white
cotton or wooden cloths lint will be left
in the water and will cling to the
cloth.
In this manner we have known the
same coat and trousers to be renewed
time and time again, and have all the
look and feel of new garments. Good
broadcloth and its fellow cloths will
bear many washings, and look better
every time because of them. American

THEY ARE VERY MODEST.
Luzcrne's County Commissioners Want
TO Collect 100000 from Lnekawanna.
Say the Debt Is Due Since 1879,

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Wilkes-Barre. March 1.-THE COM
missioners of Luzerne county Will make
an effort to collect Il debt of $4,000 they
claim has been due them by Lacka-
wanna county since 1879, With the ac-
crued interest they contend that Lack
awanna is now in their debt to the
amount of about $4,000. The princi-
pal Is Lackawanna's share of the in
debtedness of LuZerne at the time the
new county was erected.
In 1879 the commissioners of the two
counties met in an endeaVor to adjust
the indebtedness of the new county of
Lackawanna to Luzerne. Meetings
were held that lasted for several days.
The Lu2erne county commissioners
claimed that in the Indebtedness of Lu-
zerne existing at the time Lackawanna
was erected. no deductions should be
made from Lackawanna' share of the
money due I.u2erne county; cash on
hand in the treasurer's office of Lu
Zerne; personal property owned by the
county; real estate owned by Luzerne
county.
The LaCkawanna county commission
ers filed their objections as follows:
They claimed that the debt should be
deducted from the value of all prop
erty of every nature owned by Lu2erne
county at a fair valuation, and that the
remainder, IT, any, should represent the
debt Upon this point the commits
sioners disagreed.
The whole matter was then referred
to Judges Rice and Handley for ad-
justitioatlo but conclusion was not
a
