Farm, Garden and Household, Kitchen Garden. Prepare oold-frnmeB for wintering the young cabbaere plants grown from seed the last month. The frames should be a foot high at the back, and eight inches In the front, and the width of the length of a common sash, viz., six feet. Set out the plants two to three inches apart each way, putting them down to the leaves J cover in freezing weather, but not before, as the object is to keep them dormant. Treat cauliflowers in the same way os cabbages. Finish earthing up the celery, bank ing the earth well np to the stalks, nearly to the top of the leaves. In cold loonlities it may be stored in trenches the latter part of the month. Some of the hardy varieties of lottnoe will winter over in the open ground, if covered with loaves or litter. For early spring use the plants should be set in the cold-frames the same as cabbages. Divide rhubarb now if new beds are wanted, as the plants start so early in the spring that they cannot be handled so easily. Give a heavy dressing of good stable manure to old or new beds. Sow spinach for spring crop early this month. Thin out the late fall crop, and on the approach of freezing weather give a thin covering of marsh hay. Out squashes on the approach of frost, and allow them to lay two or three days in the sun, covering with the vines at night. In handling, take care not to bruise or break off the stems, as this will often produce decay. Store in a dry place, where there is no danger of frost. After the fir&t frost has wilted the vines of sweet potatoes, dig and allow to remain in the sun until dry. Those wanted far winter should be packed in barrels with cut straw, or dry leaves, and stored in a place where the tem perature is not below C0. Have the root cellars, bins, barrels, etc., ready for storing as soon as the weather makes it necessary to hurry np the work. Pits in the open ground answer for storing large quantities ; the pits should be two and a half to three feet deep, three feet wide, and as long as needed. Between every two feet of roots a space of six inches should be left, as this will allow the section to be taken out easily without exposing the rest. Fill the sections with roots to the top of the ground, cover with lit ter, and on the approach of cold weather cover with earth, giving slant enough to allow the rain to run off. Of course such pits can only be made in dry ground where water will not settle during the winter. Plowing and draining may be done now, as ground thus treated in the fall will be ready to work some days earlier in the spring. Save everything that can be con verted into manure, and colleot leaves, leaf-mold, and whatever other absor bents can be had easily. Cart to the field when the teams can be spared, and place in piles where needed. On tiie Farm. If no accounts have been kept upon the farm, it is a good time now to be gin. Make a map of the farm, no mat ter how rough it may be. Measure every field as near as possible. Per haps this may lead one to see the ad vantage of having fewer fences, and straight ones. Number or name every field, and oblige everybody about the farm to call each field by its number or naiAO when speaking of it. Paste a copy of the map of good size upon the insido of the barn door. Start the ac counts with the fall seeding, wheat or rye, and charga every field with the work, rnauuie, and Beed put upon it. One will be surprised to find what crops cost, if the market value of labor and manure are included in the esti mate. But it is this which will open the eyes of a farmer to the needs of his business. He then becomes a business man, and works on the only correct pvincipleo. A list should be made of all work that must be done, and that which may be done. Fix a time for doing that which must be done, and stick to it. Do that which may be done in the intervals. This is how leisure is made. This is what is meant by looking ahead. There is much now to be looked to ahead. It is needless to point out what these things are. No man is a true farmer who is ignorant of them, but many farmers fail to think of them in time. We do not pretend to tell a farmer everything that he must do, or how he mutt do it, our object is rather to ro mind him of many things that are fre quently forgotten until it is too late. Pasturing Orchard! with Sheep. Having a small orchard of about sixty trees, I have for about three years past pastured it with six or eight sheep, for the benefit of the trees. Last year being a ncn-beaiing year in this State, I had more apples than all my neigh bors together. My practice is to plow shoal alternate years, in order to dis turb the surface of the ground, and not cut the roots too deeply, which I con sider to be against the longevity of the tree, and sow down to clover the sheep kept in another feeding lot until after haying, when the clover roots have gained strength and maturity, so that the close feeding of the sheep will not kill them. Why I plow so often is be cause the tramping of the sheep is apt to pack the ground round the trees, preventing their bearing. The sheep eat all the blighted, windfall apples which contain the germs of injurious insects, as soon as they fall from the trees ; and they distribute their manure no evenly ana finely over the ground that the rains soak it immediately down to the fine surfaoe of .the trees, causing them to bear every year. The sheep should not be kept in too late in the fall, nor put in too early in the spring when the grass is dead, as they are apt to gnaw the bark off the small trees. Cor. New England Farmer. Remedy for Fever and Ague. Pe ruvian bark, two ounces ; wild cherry tree bark, one ounce ; cinnamon, one drachm, all pulverized ; sulphur, one ounee ; port wine, two quarts. Let stand a day or two. Always bny the Peruvian bark and pulverize it, as most ready pulverized artioles are adulter ated. This is the reason why more cures are not performed by it. Dose.'a wineglassful every two or three hours a day until all is used. This mixture will be found excellent for intermittent fever and fever and ague. Water drinking between meals should be according to thirst. It is a mistake to load a weak stomach with water on the theory that it is A tonio. As a habit it is well to take a tumbler, or part of one, of pure soft water, after dressing in the morning. SrOTriXG CONDUCTORS. Haw the Deteetlre Business ll Managed It is one of the hardships of a rail road conductor's life, that he is always supposed to be " on the make." It is not called dishonesty, but it amounts to the same thing. A commercial traveler sends ns a bit of his experience in one of his trips to the Far West, whioh will let in light upon this inter esting subjeot : " Tickets 1" The voice sounded quite familiar to the traveler, who sat snugly enconcod in a palace car attaohed to a train, the destination of which was St. Louis. In the person of tho conductor ho recog nized an acquaintance of many years' standing, and after he had collected his pasteboards a conversation was com menced that ultimately turned upon a subject which of late has created con siderable commotion in western rail road circles. Spotters were the people under consideration, ond their pecu liarities were freely disoussod. The gentlemen who preside over the des tinies of those who travel by rail have, sinco time immemorial, been looked upon with suspicion by that portion o.f the community who are ever ready, and moro than willing to believe any one guilty on the slighest pretence.in order that they may be brought to their own level. From their surroundings, rail road conductors are placed in snob a position that they can easily bo made the viotims of unscrupulous men tech nically known as spotters, aud during the past few weeks some of the oldest, most trustworty and moat popular con ductors runniug out of St. Louis have resigned their positions and entered into other business. This state of affairs was brought about through the directors of several of tho roads ter minating at St. Louis having employed special detectives to act as Bpies upon their movements. Directors of western roads do not seem as indifferent as the eastern railroad magnate who entered a jeweler's to purchase a watch, and was shown an elegant chronometer valued at 8500. The proprietor, in recom mending the time-piece, stated that all the conductors wore similar watches, when the customer related that his conductors might be able to afford tho luxury, but that the president of th road could not. Ia view of the many temptations that are supposed to beset railroad men, each company employs a detective for their own especial benefit, whose main duties are to trace up lost freight and keep an eye on the movements of suspicious employes. These men, un til the past year or two, were considered amply sufficient to guard the interest of the various roads, but of late a class of men have taken the matter into their hands with a view of feathering their own nests, and their modus operandi is hero briefly detailed. Suppose, for instance, that Solomon Slug and Silas Slotter have " gone broke playing bank," or in any other way equally effective, and are extremely anxious to raise a stake. They are fine talkers, aud call upon the president of a promi nent road, when the following conversa tion ensues : "Good morning, Mr. President." " Good day, gentlemen." " We have called, sir, on a rather delicate mission, and one in which you are deeply interested. Are you aware that the conductors on your road are systematically swindling you." "No, sir." " Well, we can prove it. If such was not the case, how does it happen that at any one of the numerous scalp ing offices tickets can be bought over your road for three or four dollars less than the regular fare ?" This question rather staggers the official, and his visitors are asked how the offenders can be reached. " Easily enough," answers the spokesman; "place the matter in our hands, give us a carte-blanche to go to work, and we will prove to your satis faction who the offenders are. If we do not succeed in ferreting out the thieves, we will not ask any compensa tion for our services." The proposition seems fair, and in nine cases out of ten the bargain is consummated then and there. Taking it for granted that the spotters were honest men, and had entered into the arrangement in good faith, little harm could possibly be done to trustworthy employes ; but, on the other hand', if the private deteotives had a grudge against any of the employes, or were inclined to act as scoundrels, it is an easy matter for them to accomplish their purpose. It should be borne in mind that their pecuniary success de pends entirely upon their capability in making cases, and this of itself is a strong inducement to do wrong. One little scheme, showing how the reputation of innocent men could bo forever blasted by these Fpotters, was related to the reporter. The moment the detective secures employment he purchases a ticket, running the risk of being that much out of pocket in case he should fail to make a case. This ticket is taken to the superintendent, who places a private matk on it, in order that it may be recognized at any future time. The spotter then boards the train which is in charge of his in tended victim, and, instead of handing over the marked ticket, pays his fare. On reaching the terminus of the road a confederate hastens away to a scalping office with the ticket and disposes cf it. When the conductor hands in the proceeds of his trip, the marked ticket is missing ; and it is suggested to the superintendent that the scalping offices be visited, which is done, and praof ef the conductor's dishonesty seems plain enough. The detective maintains that tho ticket in question was handed by him to the conductor, and the latter, as a matter of course, where there are a large number of passengers, cannot re member that his accuser paid his fare in cash. As a natural oonseqnence,the unfortunate man is igncminiously dis missed the service, with his prospects for life blasted, while the scoundrel, who worked an innocent man's ruin, oomes off with flying colors. It i3 net maintained that this is a practice carried out by all spotters, some of whom, no doubt, are good men ; but the circumstance is only re lated to show that men who have borne unblemished reputations all their lives are justified in resigning a position, rather than run the risk of being made the scapegoat of men who would not hesitate at any obstacle that might stand in the way of their professional reputation. A curious case, which has already given rise to considerable soandal, is before the Circuit Court at Portsmouth. John . Rider sues John D. Swain, foreman of the iron platers at the navy yard, claiming that he secured Swain's place for him at considerable trouble and expense, and asking remnneration. He alleges that he has spent 8300 in traveling to Washington. NEWS OF THE DAT. Interesting Items from Home and Abroad.

Dark furs will remain in favor. The fashionable set for the coming winter consists of a long boa and muff. Fur collars, though greatly in vogue abroad, are only worn here by elderly ladies and those who require greater protection for tho chest. Boas for general wear ore two yards long ; those to be worn with fur cloaks are much shorter. Mnffi are of medium size, and are finished with passementerie tassels or bows of gros grain ribbon of tho same shade ns the fur. The first choice in far sots is the daik Russian sable. Wealthy women Relect the darkest shades of this fnr for a long boa with tail tips on tho ends, and a muff of comfortable size. Lighter ltus sian sable is far cheaper than the dark skins, and costs from $250 upward for a ect. Hudson Bay sable is a rich warm fur, and iu its finest dark qualities is preferred to tho liht Kussian sable. A boa or collar of this fur costs from $10 to $150, and a muff to matoh will double the expense. Sable-tail sets are very dark, being made entirely of the tnil tips, and coBt less than correspond ingly dark shades made of fur from the body of the animal. They range from $150 to $100. Tho next choice after sable is a set of black fox, a long dark fur that is now very scarce. A set cost9 from 8200 to 8300. Many ladies content themselves with a muff of this fur, as rolling the fur to form a boa displays tho roots, and detracts from its beauty. Very stylish sots aro now made of the tips of the fisher-tail, and called fisher-tail furs. This dark, luxurious-looking fur resembles handsome sable, and costs from $75 to 150. Among low-priced furs black marten, with its long fleece, will be most gen erally used. This is also called Alaska sable, and is really made of the skin of tho polecat. In bnjing this fur care should be taken to iuBure that the skins are properly dressed, else they will not be thoroughly deodorized, and the oil will create worms that ruin the fur, and the dress of the wearer as well. A set costs from $18 to 822. Black lynx is a long, black, glossy fur, but it is always dyed, and the fleece is so fine that it does not take the dye well, and is apt to crack ; hence it is not highly com mended. Black monkey-skins, with their long, dark, straight hair not fur are admired for their oddity, but are not soft and warm. A muff of this skin is unique and dressy, but the boa is not desirable. Plain people who think more of com fort than of display retain their par tiality for the black curled furs known under tho general name of Astrakhans. These are made into sacques to be worn in cold climates for elderly ladies, for mourning, and for the country, where long sleigh-rides are taken. They are now so reduced in price as to come within range of most modest purses. Qood sacques of the Kussian lamb-skin are sold for $30, the black Persia ni sacques of finer quality cost $45 or $50, while those of the fine silken Persiani that resemble moire antique are $100. They are edgrd with fringe or not, ac cording to fancy. A boa and muff of the Russian lamb-skin cost from $6 to $12 ; made of the finer black Persiani, they cost from $10 to $20. Ladies in mourning do not limit themselves to black furs, but use any rich dark fur they choose or happen to have, the only change necessary boing that of using black linings for muff and jacket. Wade vs. EalhflescU. No more interesting breach of prom ise suit has ever been before an Ameri can court than that brought by Mary F. Wade against ex-Mayor Kalbfleisch, of Brooklyn, and since his death con tinued against the estate. The last phase of the case has been watched for over a year with no ordinary curiosity. Judge Church draws upon such emi nently respectable authorities as Jieut and Story to show that marriage is a contract sui generis, rather " an insti tution of society founded upon the consent and contract of the parties." The statute upon which the complain ant relied for her strength, providing "for wrongs done to property, nglits or interests," was not held to apply in this instance, since " executors repre sent property only, and can only take such rights of action as affect property, and cannot recover for injuries for per sonal wrongs." Therefore they can be reached only ia the same way, and the case breaks down at this point. Mrs. Wade doubtless thought that the "evil that men do lives afier them," but she has found it pretty thoroughly proven that the peouuiary responsibility for it is generally "interred with their bones." A breaoh of promise suit never invests its author with increased repu tation, and when it pursues its victim beyond the grave it is still less credit able to the prosecutor. Sunshine lu House. The time will very likely come when sunshine and sunlight will be so utilized as to be the entire remedy used for very many diseases. That it is a wonder ful fertilizer none can doubt that know anything about it. But how many honses are constructed with a view to get all the sunshine possible, especially when bo much is needed in winter and spring? The living, or sitting-room, at these seasons of the year at least, should have a full southern exposure, with large windows to let in the sun shine. All sleeping rooms, closets, wardrobes and passageways should re ceive the ckausing, vivifying influence of the sun. Sickly persons should court the sunshine as much as possible sit in it, be in it, luxuriate in it. It don't cost anvthine. only appreciation. A room warmed neither by sun nor fire is unhealthy, and not fit for human habitation. It is a poor theory that sends men, women and children off into a cold room to sleeo on healthy princi pies, when warmth has been excluded for a day or week, or perhaps months, The change in the temperature or a room having both fire and sunshine, after the sun goes down, is exceedingly l i .l.'ii i. i.n mar&ea. a peroepuDie emu m jeis.
