Keeping Well Water Pure.


1t used to be an old-fashioned custom
In the country to put one or two trout
In well to insure the water being
pure and wholesome. If they did not
keep it so it was supposed that they
would give warning of its impurity by
dying themselves. We are reminded
of this by seeing in an English paper
that Prof. Sobrero. of Turin, has lately
advised the use of cells in the house els
tern for the same purpose He says two
or three not large but lively cells would
devour anything in the water in the
shape of animalcules, infusoria, bird
dropping from the roof or vegetable
matter of any kind We think they
would also take any animal matter like
toads or rats that might fall in and
drown.-American Cultivator.

The Man who works.

"The man that is SO far advanced
that he likes the work he Is doing
said Mr.. Stoggleton. has reason to
feel hopeful of himself. / suppose that
the very great majority of us so
through the work we have In hand the
easiest way we can and get through 1t,
skipping the hard places when posi-
BILE, and thinking well be glad when
it's finished; but the next job will be
just the same; there will be just about
so many hard places in 1t, and then
we'll be wishing just the same that we
could get through that job. se.r,.
1.-The fact appears to be that we arc
always trying to shirk the present Job.
We mean well, in a feeble sort of way,
and the next thing we tackle we are
going to do right up to the handle; but
when, we strike that, when that be-
comes the present work, don't we try
to shirk that, too? We do, indeed. And
that's what we do all through life;
daily putting Off our best endeavors till
tomorrow. Kind of miserable thing
to do. isn't 1t?
But occasionally you meet man
who puts In his best ticks every day,
and rejoices in the labor; he doesn't
care a continental what the next day
is going to bring to him, he can handle
1t whatever 1t is; just now he's en-
gagged with to-day's labor; and he does
that up thoroughly and completely and
searches out the last nook and Granny;
he isn't trying to see what he can pass
by, but what he can root out; and he
goes home satisfiedwith his work, and
he's the one man in n thousand that
leads all the rest and his pay CORE
spends with his labors."-New York

Saving Rough Fodder.

A few years ago not many farmers
In the corn-growing States thought of
saving their corn slower. though per-
haps they turned cattle In among it, to
eat little and tramp it down. Where
small grain was grown, the straw was
thought to have very little food value,
though some kept their stock half
starved on it. Eastern farmers, who
were thought to he very saving, seldom
fed out bean straw or pea straw. Now
all these are saved. and while they
need more grain with them than does
clover or other good hay, it is thought
economy to feed any or all of these,
and by adding grain, keep the animals
In better condition at less cost than
when hay Is fed, and at the same time
add to the value of the manure made
on the farm. Many varieties of weeds
also make good rough forage if mown
down and cured before they have
ripened their seeds, and to do so helps
to keep the land clean, and preserve
the fertility in it for more useful crops.

when to top it off the Sheriff placed in
my hands an unusually large batch
Of 'sheriff's sales which had to APP

1.-Two weeks later, during which time
my new man, who gave his name as
Hugh Manley, had become well nigh
invaluable to me, the whole State was
shocked by the terrible murder Of
Ciphon's most prominent citizen, the
Hon. Alfred Cartwright. The murder,
rs near as could be judged, occurred
about IL o'clock Monday night. The
body was found seated before the FIRE
place in the library, with look of IN
utterable horror frozen on its ghasty
face. The furnishings of the room
were undisturbed, and all appearances
gave evidence that no struggle had TAX
en- place. Death must have been IL
seated in an upright position; the large
dirk with which the deed was commit

window opening onto the porch. found
unfastened, was probably the meaIs

traitor and motive shrouded the crim(.

one of Maud Booths Converts.

A volume might be written on the
wonderful work done by Mrs. Maud
Ballington Booth among the convicts
In the New York State prisons. Once
Mrs. Booth and her aids had won the
confidence Of a prisoner who was fear
ed by all his companions. One day In
speaking Of his past he told them that
he was absolutely innocent of the
charge for which he was suffering i'm
prisonment, and he thanked Mrs.
Booth for some reading matter she
had brought him. t n9ff
II have got witnesses to prove my
innocence, even IL they are In prison
now" he asserted.
"why don't you try to secure new
trial?" tt
"Well, you see," he replied. after a
little pause, IL was acquitted of a
number of charges where was guilty,

Charcoal.

One Of the little things which are not
absolutely essential. but which the
keeper of a flock of hens will be well
paid for preparing, Is charcoal. The
hens will not consume great quantity
of it, but they seem to need certain
amount of 1t, and the good effects Of 1t
are admitted by all. 8...
Charcoal Is not usually kept for sale
in the villages, and the majority of
poultry-keepers are put to the necessity
of sending away for it or Of manufac-
turing 1t. An article which will fully
answer the purpose can be made from
corncobs, and this is the material
which generally is made use Of in the
West.
Rake lot of cObs In loose heap
where, they will burn freely. Let them
burn until they are charred through.
but before they are reduced to ashes
smother the flame with oats. Use no
water for putting out the blaze. The
half-burned oats will not be wasted,
as the hens will eat 1t with as much
relish as that which has not been
touched by the fire. Crush the charcoal
and constantly keep up small box of
1t in the poultry house.-Farmer's
Voice.

: The extraordinary demand for iron
and. steel products, and consequent
high prices, is making wire fences cost
much more than few years ago, but
we are not sure but they are even now
the cheapest fences one can build, con-
sidering durability as well as first cost.
Many use second-hdnd gas pipe for
posts, and we think there Is nothing
better II they can be bought direct
from companies who take them up be-
cause or pinhole leaks that make. them
unfit for conveying gas, but In no way
'njure them for use as posts. They
IAN be found in almost all sizes, from
the inch pipe, large enough for the
wire netting for poultry yards, up to
"A size that will carry heavy wire for

help to remove danger sometimes
feared from wire fences, the conduc-
'tion of lightning. The first iron post
would be very likely to ground the cur
