Live Stock Notes,

A weak horse may be readily
ruined by being compelled to work
against one much stronger. Equal
ize the strength of the teams as
much as possible.
Sheep delight in billy pastures,
and the protection afforded by
sheltering the animals from the
chilling winds is no small feature of
their adaptability to this industry.
The time has passed when horse
bred to no definite type, or adapted
to no specific purpose, can be sold at
the cost of his production, and no
man can afford to breed such.
1.-The righteous man regardeth his
beast" Many who are good farm
ers in all other respects do not
properly appreciate the horse nor
treat him well. The horse suffers,
the owner loses.
TO stock farm with 20 cows and
the necessary fixtures will cost
81 900. A hundred and fifty sheep
can be bought for, about half the
sum; and will feed upon the same
land.
1t is sign of careless shepherd
to have bury wool to carry to
market, and there. get locked five
cents a pound in consequence. II
you have not got them out of the
pastures, get them off the fleece.
We must keep the feet and legs
of the horse clean If we would avoid
disease therein. A good bath with
soft cloth and tepid water at night
will pay for the trouble in the com
fort given to the horse.

A Mouse, Woman, Dog and a Man,

Exchange: A lady while en-
gagged in the pursuit of her domestic
duties, encountered a mouse in the
-four barrel. Now, most ladies, un-
der similar circumstances, would
have uttered few piercing shrieks
and then sought safety in the gar
ret; but this one possessed more
than the ordinary degree of genuine
courage. She summoned the man
servant, and told him to get the gun,
call the dog and station himself at a
convenient distance. Then she
clambered half way upstairs, and
commenced to punch the flour bar
rel with a pole. Presently the
mouse made its appearance, and
started across the floor. The dog at
once went in pursuit. The man
fred, and the dog dropped dead
and the lady tainted and fell down
stairs; and the man, thinking that
she was killed, and fearing that he
would be arrested for murder, dis
appeared, and has not been seen
since. The mouse escaped.

A SONG OF THE FARM.

President Harris of the Maine State
College at Orono, in an address before
the State Legislature, asked the ques-
ton: "What are the farms fit for, il not
for raising boys?" His words were at
first misunderstood, but afterwards APP
plauded.
A word to the restless people-to the
fast and feverish age:
A perfect manhood is better than any
wealth or wage.
Some are for gOld-some, glitter; but
tell me, tell me, when
Will we stand for the farm and the col
lege,that go for the making of men!
Yea, what is the old farm fit for? The
word is wisely said;
There may be stumps in the pasture
and the house may be shed;
But what if Lincoln or Garfield be
here in this boy of ten?
And what should the farm be fit for, il
not the raising of men?
IT'S scanty soil for the seeding, but
here we win our bread,
And stout heart may grow stronger
where pillow and harrow are sped;
Then break up the bleak, high hillside
and trench the swamp and FEM
For what should the farm be fit for, il
not the raising of men!
And what if our lot be humbler-if we
on the farm abide?
There is room for noble living, and the
realm of thought is wide;
\ mind enriched is a fortune,-and you
Will know it-when
You see that the farm is fit for the rear
ing of noble men.
We tread the hills that the Holy, tina
the Beautiful has trod;
We till the fields of the infinite, W.
dress the gardens of God:
The seer, the sage, and the poet-theN
utter the word again,
And ask what the farm is fit for, if no
the rearing Of men.

For Three Years Renee.
New YORK, Nov. S.-The Journal anu
advertiser prints the following letter
from Mayor Hugh Grant concerning
Mr.. Bryan and the recent New York
elections:
THE conclusion of Mr. Bryan, that
the results of the recent New York eiec-
ton indicate popular dissatisfaction
with the policy OF the Republican party,
is undoubtedly correct. His declaration:
that they 'presage the overthrow of the
Republican party, is not entitled 10 the
same credence as his other conclusions.
Il heartily hope that the Republican
party will be overthrown IN 1900. but IL
is early for any one but an enthusiast
like Mr.. Bryan to take up his mind with
what will happen three years hence.
'Mcst of the George men were en-
thusiasts, who believed that II theory
to which they subscribed could be put
into operation upon the affairs or he.

ter. Others of them We're believers III

gle tax enthusiasts and l6 TO enthu'
siasts-oucht 70 have been Democrats

Mr.. BRYAN had no5 deferred thom. he
was sufficiently acquainted with the 10.
cal situation il New York city III 1895
to talk about 1t with complete assur-
ance. He ought to have been able to
make himself acquainted with ltln 1874
He did nothing for the loca! Oemoc-
racy this year The secretary OF TIE
Democratic national committee, who is
presumably very close TO him III sym
pathy, repudiatod the candidacy OF
Judge Van Wyck Oh the ground that
Judge Van Wyck did not stand upon
the silver plank OF the Chicago plat
form, and gave to Mr. George whatever
support he had to give, although Mr..
George distinctly repudlated the SILVER
theory.
The trouble with Mr.. Bryan and the
secretary OF the national Democratic
committee IS that they cannot adapt
themselves to changing conditions.
They insist upon following certain theo.
ries and 6isregar6ing peculiar conol-
tions OF life. which must affect the III
fuence of those theories IL the various
parts OF the country.

upon taking things as they are. We

the Queens couaty court of oyer and
terniner at Long Island City. The
cause, officially known as the people
versus Marlin Thorn, is based upon
the discovery il June last III East river
and IN Os5en's woods, north of this
city, of portions Of a human body. The
head was missing.
By a series Of curious links in the
chain of circpmstautial evidence, the
6iSmembered remains have been lGentl-
fed by number OF witnesses as por-
tions OF the body OF William Gul6en-
suppe, a rubber in Turkish bathho Csc
in this city. Guldensupps had nos been
at his work for several days before the
ghastly discoveries Of his supposed re-
mains, nor has he since that time, but
it was alleged ne was In Germany,
though no one appeared to know.
The poStulate Of the identity OF the
corpse being conceded, the next thing
to be done was tolook up Gul0ensuppe's
connections. and from them ascertaia a
possible motive for his murder. 1t was
easily aScertaineo that he had lived on
terms of intimacy with Mrs. Augusta
Mack, a midwife, but that some time
before the disappearance Of Gulden-
stppe, the pair had euarreled, and that
il the woman's fat Guldensuppe had
fought with and beaten the man who
had supplante6 him in his mistress

whom the police had some difficulty in
finding, but whose whereabouts were
. disclosed by John Gotha. another bar
ber, and relative by marriage of the
accused man. Gotha has made the
statement upon which the police rely to
aid in Tkorn's conviction, that Thorn
admitted his guilt to him. and since
Thorn has been confined two men, who
shared his cell at different times. have
told of incriminating admissions by the
accused man.
There have also been at intervals re-
ports that Mrs. Mack had virtually ad-
mitted her guilt. but all of these state
ments have been more or less conclusive.
