Hint! about Work.
Lambs, and yearling ewes that are
not to be bred from, may be put to
gether and kept separate from the other
aheep. If any of the flocks have the
scours, a tablespoonf ul of a mixture of
prepared chalk and peppermint in wa
ter should be given once a day. Oos
tiveness is quickly remedied by a littlo
linseed oil-cake meal.
Pat hogs should bo finished np as
last as possible. Those intended for
home use should be finished upon dry
shelled corn, with pure water only for
drink. This will produce firm hard
pork. Store hogs will do best upon
sooked food, and in place of corn,
boiled potatoes and bran will make ex
cellent feed. Buckwheat is too heating
i ood for pigs, and should be avoided.
Brood sows may have the company of
the boar, if pigs are wanted in March.
The increased value of the first litter of
pigs will pay for a pure bred boar.
Nothing is more certain than that it
jiays to breed only from pure blooded
males, of whatever kind or breed they
may be. But blood will not stand in
place of feed. Brooded pigs are most
profitable and thrive best where there
is a full corn crib.
Boot crops and potatoes should be
stored in dry pits, in preference to cel
lars beneath tho house. Ventilation
should not be neglected ; wisps of
straw should be placed in the tops of
the pits every six feet apart, for this
purpose. If any are still in the ground,
they should be harvested without de
lay. A good substantial and permanent
root house, in a convenient place, will
be found valuable.
Repairing roads should not be put off
any later. Every farm should have a
permanent road through the center,
which should be kept in good repair.
Boadmasters should see that mudholes
and bad spots in the roads are filled
with broken stone. Mending roads
with earth at any season is waste labor.
There should be a Blake's stone crusner
at every country mill where road ma
terial can be procured. One year's use
would pay for it. In nothing are we
so behind the times as in the condition
of our country roads.
Upon stormy days there will be
found plenty of occupation in repair
ing harness, cleaning and putting away
tools, working in the carpenter's shop,
repairing grain bags, eto. Such work
is recreation. As this is the season for
selling poultry, let there be a good sup
ply kept for home use, and those which
are kept for breeding should be well
cared for, so that they may lay early.
The poultry house should bo kept
clean and well whitewashed, if it has
not been already done. Keep the plow
running in the corn stubbles until the
ground is frozen. The long winter
evenings should be devoted to study
and domestic entertainments ; in which
the younger should be joined by the
older ones. There are few things which
will more readily make farm life agree
able to children, than the pleasant
evenings which may be spent in a farm
house, with books, papers, toys, and
games, in which the old folks renew
their youth again. It is the want of
this companionship which makes coun
try life so generally dull and unin
viting to young people. Agriculturist.
The Law of Fences.
A case was tried not long ago in this
county which is instructive as giving
the law as to fences and as to trespass
arising out of insufficient protection to
fields and crops. The judge laid down
as law the following points : " It is a
maxim in law that every man must so
use and care for his own property as
that it shall not injure his neighbors."
" It must now be considered as law
that if the owner of improved land has
no fences protecting his crops he can
not recover for injuries done by cattle
straying upon his land. He must both
shut in his own cattle and shut out
those of others." "It has been held
so long as three-quarters of a century
ago that if a fence is not what may be
called lawful but is what may be called
neighborly and sufficient to keep out
cattle that are not breachy, a claim for
trespass will lie upon injury by others'
cattle." Tho jury in this case was in
structed by the judge that if the de
fendant's cattle broke through or jumped
over the fence between the plaintiff's
cornfield and the defendant's woods,
and damaged the plaintiff's corn, he
was entitled to recover for the damage
done, unless the jury were satisfied
from the evidence that the fence was
not such as farmers of practical knowl
edge and experience would consider as
sufficient to protect the crop from in
jury by usually orderly cattle. It it
was such a sufficient fence, for the
damage done while in that condition
the plaintiff may recover, although it
was not made of logs or rails, or posts
and boards, and was not " four and a
half feet high and well staked and
ridered." The material of which the
fence was made should also be consid
ered as well as its light breadth and
firmness, and if these were not consid
ered sufficient to keep out orderly cat
tle no "damages " could be recovered.

Well, if you " cannot " quit it, you

it seems a pity one should die a slave,

MIND TOUR OWN BUSINESS,
One of the Rcmoiii Why lomt People
Fail In Business.
The history of the late panio, says
the United States Economist, proves
unmistakably the existence of what may
be called the higher law of trade.
Those merchants, bankers and capital
ists who attended to their own proper
business, and who left other people's
business alone, as a rule, passed suc
cessfully through the ordeal. On the
other hand, those who transacted a
large and doubtful trade were the first
to succumb to the storm. The great
firm of Jay Cooke & Oo. passed away
almost like tne memory of a dream,
" leaving no wreck behind." Bnt it is
now clearly seen that the firm fell be
cause it overstepped its proper busi
ness of banking and engaged in rail
road construction to an extent far above
and beyond its proper business of bank
ing. The long list of published assets
showed a quantity of worthless securi
ties larger than might have been rea
sonably supposed to have existed in the
United States. The dry rot must have
got into this firm long bofore it failed.
Then, again, take the firm of Clews fc
Co., for which so much deserved sym
pathy has been excited on account of
its repeated efforts to retrieve its posi
tion, and we see. the same" career of
speculation in worthless securities.
This firm was loaded down with all
sorts of railroad and State bonds of a
worthless character. It was the same
with several other concerns that could
be named. Now, prudent bankers will
generally bo careful to avoid all securi
ties of this kind, and if they deal in
them at all it will be only on account
of customers whose collaterals they
will always take care shall fully cover
their accounts.
Of the failures that have occurred
during tho last year, it is ascertained
that three-fifths consisted of firms
which had stepped beyond their proper
line of business. It is also a notice
able feature that tho failures which oc
curred by and through outsido specu
lations were what is called "bad" ones,
yielding only a nominal percentage of
assets, while the failure of houses
which attended to their proper busi
ness yielded an. average of fifty per
cent, dividends.
In the case of the Sprague failure
we have a conspicuous example of not
minding one's business. The great
firm had invested its resources in all
kinds of enterprises, from Maine to
Texas, and when the pressure for
money came they could not be realized
on, and the result was suspension. Of
course, the duty of attention to one's
business' is not incompatable with all
reasonable enterprise. But the trouble
in many cases is that they involve too
large a loss of capital to the regular
firm, so that the latter is unable to bear
a strain which, under other circum
stances, would seriously be felt.
Perhaps one secret of the stability of
the great European business houses
consists in the fact that the owners
seldom take much money out of the
firm. The founders of a trade gener
ally live modestly and leave most of
their earnings in the business, to
fructify and expand a hundredfold.
We put too little capital on the shelves
and in the drawers, and too much in
showy windows and gorgeous fittings
up, which matter nothing to business
men ; and so tho tide drifts on until
the inevitable panic comes, when those
who are taken unawares will disappear
from sight forever.
Manufacturing Monstrosities.
In the market of the world there is
no demand, no matter how absurd, but
can be met with a supply. In the
Middle Ages, when dwarfs and human
monstrosities were considered neces
sary additions to the retinue of the
courts and nobility of Europe, as fast
as they were required they were pro
duced. At first, this abundance of
what was abnormal might seem strange;
but this wonder passes for a wonder of
another kind, when we learn what
seemed the freaks of nature were manu
factured. Children were obtained, and
their young limbs cunningly twisted,
their skulls pressed into curious
shapes, and their very bodies changed
into fantastio forms by encasing them
in moulds, which were not removed
until the living flesh had adapted itself
to the covering. When what was ab
normal had become permanent, the
splints and bandages were removed,
and the deformity was sold to be a curi
osity in a court. The children, as can
be easily understood, suffered greatly
in the manufacture, and many lost
their lives ; but those engaged in the
business little cared for the young life
strangled, or that the boy or girl, in
stead of playing in the clad sunlight.

from God's likeness into that of an

be made out of flesh and blood, and
as long as the market was open, there
were butchers to be found.
Fire In a Circus Tent.

the blaze leaped upward several feet,
The lamps were lowered, and an attempt
was made to smother tne names with a
carpet, but tha carpet caught fire and
burned. The ropes whioh held up the
top of the canvass caught fire, and it
appeared to the spectators that the cen
terpole was in a blaze. The names,
fanned by a high wind, reached from
the ground nearly to the canvas, and it
seemed that the entire pavilion would
be consumed. When the fire was first
seen consternation seized a large por
tion of the audience, and a rush was
made for the outside. Men, women,
and children slid down from the seats
and crawled under the canvas. Some
in the crowd were so badly frightened
that they didn't stop until they got
home. Tha majority, however, re
mained at a safe distance away from
the tent to see the thing out. The at
taches of the circus succeeded in ex
tinguishing the fire after the ropes
were consumed and before the canvas

How They Treat Horses.
The coachmen in Bordeaux, France,
have for some time past been in the
habit of giving horses in their charge
chlorals so as to make them easier to

been so spirited as to give much
trouble to their drivers become as quiet
as lambs after a few days of this treat
ment. This great change naturally at
tracted the attention of the owners of
the animals, and they sent for the vet

tho Sierra Novada mountains of Califor
nia, tho medicinal properties of which
aro extracted therefrom without tho uso
of Alcohol. Tho question is almost
daily asked, " What is tho causo of tho
unparalleled success of Vinkgak Bit
ters!" Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and tho patient re
covers his health. They are tho great .
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
& perfect Kenovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of Vinegar Bittkrs in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Urgaus, ui Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of Dr. Walker's
inegar Bittkrs are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laiative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Altera
tive, and Anti-Bilious.
