i v Nut. L.ilt" the farmers cive this subject . the thought and attention its importance j demands. It requires more nice aii'l discriminating judgment ti feed and take proper care of stock in the winter reason than it does to raise and secure . that feed in the summer season. This may be considered ty some an extrava gant assertion, but those who so i laim j certainly take pour care of their stock. . Two thimrs are to be taken into account , in wintering stock. First, keeping the. ; itoek in good, thriving condition: sic- ond. ee.moiiiiilig and saving fodder. I . i latin that bv eeoiiomiing and making .-lock eat upYh.se all the fodder given, , thev can be brought tin -nigh the winter i in letter condition than when a s.ovenly, areless method is practised. Of course. . 1 base these remarks on the idea that ' fodiler must be secured at the light time ' and in the lx-st iosible condition. It i- very easy, bv overfeeding, to teach ' sdoek "f -i'' kind to wate their food, I and when that habit is once acquired it i i-i hard to break it up, especially with ; young stock. First, secure the food in ; the licst possible condition; second, fur- --,wd. comfortable shedsand stables ! .-i i .i t . . lit.- diffeient kinds of s'.m-k; third. niMl.p food maii"i-i s and racks, so there can be no possibility of wa.-te. 5 hen feed jut tin- anioir.it . a- ne possible, tint the different kind iock win eat. ami ir ai ine next ieeuing . time some is h ft. v.-t quite so much is j to be given ; but if ail is eaten cle.'in, then increase a little. In this wa the amount stock will eat can be arrived at very closely. P.ut when any is left that viMi don't expe-t to be eaten, always clean it from the racks or mangers, as j the ca-e nixy 1hi. The idea is to make . -t:k e;it a!l they will and not wa-te .mi, ti keep it ill thri ing condition, hnd by cconuuiiing in feed a twofold gain is uade. Kver g ! f.'imu w lio il ii s any pari d his ov. ii work can put in his time to thls -t a IvMi.t.iire by hiking care of his Mil stock. and l, t the hired help do the 'ii i uht v. ..ik in the fields or woods, for i "t i ne- hind loan in ten can be in! rusted '.ith the rare of slock in tin- winter t'lne, either frojii a lack of judgment or tie; vaii of (are, or lth. To be a good hand with stock a man must like tin; business and have some interest in it. lb- tan -it Vo gentle and kind, and th'-n the stork will like him and they ili get along first -rate together. A linn ling, ild. uncultivated fellow hxs no business tak ing care of stock. Any one that w ill abuse the dumb brutes that od has given us for our most pressing neds. and has not given the tongue to ' 11 the abn ' they reeeiv. is not much better than the bruii; himself, and never 1 1" iutru-iled vi!! tie care -1...

"Truth crushed to earth will rise aain." TII0K01 (.iHHKKI) t'AlTI.K. Ir. A. C. Stevenson, of Indiana, onee drew eotnparison between Anieriean and English farmers as they were re ' lated to breeding. lie said that En glish farmers had nothing to hope for with reference to bettering their eondi i tion except by making the laud which ( ' th-y tilled yield as much as ioss:h!e. I They never couhl hope to own the land. ; iJending their energies, therefore, to t he , work of making the yield as bountiful : : and excellent as jtossihle. they naturally j ; enough sought to improve the breeds ; of domestic animals, with what snec"ss we all know. On the other hand the ' American tanner sought to own a farm, or if he owned one. to enlarge it, aval in i his endeavor to do this he neglec ted live . ; stock and deix nded more upon his crops. There is a great truth in this when ap plied to many of our farmers. The strangest thing, or at least one of the strangest, is that there are men even at . this late day who fail to appreciate the A'abie of cattle. They keep cows which do not pay for their keeping, and eon- j tintie to keep the same eows year aTter i year until they become so old that they are worthless for any other purpose. ' We have seer, numbers of cows in our : lives, and we have seen some of our : Western farms this fall, that would not ' and Avill imt recompense their owners 1 i for the feed they consume during the winter. Yet as the Western Rural said , some weeks ago. and as everyone who reads knows, it has been ossible din ing the last few years to buy Shorthorn, : Hereford, Ilofstein or Jersey stocks at very low figures, so low, indeed, that the fanner who was not able to pur chase, was the exception and by no 1 means the rule. When so many of our farmers have sensibly concluded that corn will bring more in the market when it is ship'd in jnuk or beef than in . any other way, it must not bo forgotten thiit there are ii good many farmers that ; have not yet arrived at that conclusion, or if they have they do not act upon it. There is more money in flock then in ! anything else, either in the products of the dairy or in the meat, lint it must Vie good stock. We cannot fatten a saw -r: orse, ami we cannot mnk on?. We reed cattle that have good frames and that w ill lav on fat when thev ei t i ready to tit them for the shambies. We want more than this ; Ave want cattle ' that Avill make good beef. I.tef is an , ;u tide universally sought after, and the most of iH.ople are fair judges of it. At least the consumer can tell whether I beef is dry or juicy. And the English, j whose markets Ase are anxious to sup j ply. and w hich arc oen to us. will have ; nothing to do with poor lK-ef. In every ; resjiect it will pay to keep good cattle, and our rearers of thoroughbred stock i are prepared to furnish such at figures ' that are within the reach of aim st every fanner. HYxfejn Mural.

In southern Kurope. where the winters are light, many tender plants remain safe ly out-of-doors all winter without being covered, by twisting straw into heavv rojes which, on cold nights, are made wet and then wound in zig-zag lines around plants and among the branches m tlie act of freezing enougli heat is lilicrated from the water to raise the teiiiper.it lire of the atmosphere surround ing the plants, and thus save them from the cold.

A YIS10" OF DEATH. PAVED BY A WOR KINGMAN 9 TRKS ENCE OF MIND. The infernal (yet very useful) com- , pound, says the Bradford (Fa.) Era, j speaking of nitro glycerine, is so swift j and terrible in its work, and annihila- j tory in its effects that many jtersons ex- j orience a singular feeling if even in j the presence of the harmless-looking ; fluid. They know that a slight concus- i sion would send them into eternity with the rapidity of the lightning's flash, and hardly a trace of their bodies be found. Men who are accustomed to nitro-gly-cerine are supposed tohav;noneof these feelings, and nerve is a necessary re ouisite. Nevertheless, the presence of appalling danger sometimes illustrates the best of theni. as will le seen bv the Vollowing incident : At a eertain factory not a hundred miles from Bradford were "gathered the members of the firm and some of the workmen. The erentlenien were intently watching the pro cess of manufacturing the explodent, when . one of them incautiously dropped Ins cigar ' stuo on tlie noor, which was covered wnn i running water hearing on the surface smalt i parcel of nitro-glyeerine. The lattercausht j fire anil humed hrilliantly with a sputtering j noise. To say that the spectators were j alarmed would be to put it very mildly, j Tliey were simply paralyzed with terror, and j watched the spreading of the hery stream with the helpless fascination with which a victim is said to look in the glittering,eyes of a rattlesnake. Ail around them were cans tilled with nitre-glycerine, enough to anni hilate an army, and even' man felt as though he was the victim of a hideous nightmare which held him powerless. Flight was im possible ; their limits refused to perform t'.ieir office, and an awful death seemed in evitable. The apparently doomed men saw the little lake of tire sprcaVl slowly but surely on the tltor, and the fbunes hissed as though in triumph at the certain death that seemed to await their victims. None of the specta tors will soon forget this thrilling episode in their lives, and money could not hire them to repeat the experiment. When the fire hail almost reached a can filled with glycerine one of the workmen roused from his leth nrtry, and taking off his coat spread it on the tloor and extinguished the flames, when of course all danger ceased. One of the gentlemen present, when describing his ex perience, said : "I never knew before what it was to be sick from fear. When I saw the infernal stuff burning, and frit that every man of as would le blown to atoms in five sectimls, every muscle of my body seem- i ed palsied. 1 casped for breath, mv head swam, and I only felt a deathly sensation of nausea in my stomach. All present turned tn ashy paleness of the face. Then I vainly wondered whether there would le any pain in the cleathstroke. The remembrance of a nitroglycerine horror, where the still pali tating heart of one of its victims was picked up a minute after the explosion, came to my mind and I surmised whether my heart t would undergo that strange experience after lK'ing torn from my body. Tlie thought of my family caused me the most poignant an cuish, and tears coursed down my cheeks. Then several incidents of my life, of which I cannot speak Avitli pride, were vividly pre sented to my mind's eve and induced vague reflections on tlie suliject of luturc punish ment. Sometimes in my dreams 1 have felt mielf in the presence of frightful peril. such ps lying in tlie path of an express train I or tottering on the brink of a vast abyss, but was utterly incapable of moving hand or , foot fur niy preservation. So it seemed in this case. "1 could not lift a finger though ; there Avas einparatiA'e safety in flight, par- alyzed with terror as was literally my condi- .' tion. After what seemed an "eternity of ) waith.g for my inevitable fate, my attention : Avas arrested by a movement on the part of ' one of the workmen, who took off his coat , hmrlc.lly. Then h" lent forward, and, W illi ' the utmost deliberation, laid it on the pool j of tire, moving it gently along ami patting it i with his hands until rvery spark aa-hs ex- . tinsuished. The reaction from the terrible suspense Avas almost overpowering, and I felt weak as a child, but on going out into : t'le open air my ohi-timesjiirits came hack J very rapicllv. Slav I never have another f sueh experience." CQLLIHS, JOHHSTQH&Co Ebensburg, Penn'a. MONEY RECEIVED ON DEPOSIT' PATARI.F. O 1EMAI. interest taowEn o tiiie tjeposits. MONEY LOANED, COLLECTIONS MADE.

Nothing can re store the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied nd decayed. But puch as remain can be saved for usefulness by this npplication. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, nd consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prepara tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found bo desir able. Containing neither oil nor dve, it does not soil white cam bric, and yet lasts long on tha hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Dr. J. C.
