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.

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.

Winter Furs for Ladies.
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,

done my wife a world of good. She has taken
neaily two boltles and has felt hotter the past
two weeks than at any time in tho past two
Years. No more periodical pains ; nono of
that aching back or dragging KenHation in her
stomach she lias boon accustomed to for
sevoral years. I have so much confidence In
it that I would bo perfectly willing to warrant
to certain customers of our who would be glad
to get hold of relief at any expense. I have
tried many Patent Medicines, but never had
any occasion to extol one before.
Very truly yours.
Geo B. WnmNo.
Mrs. E. R. Daly, Metropolis, III., writeB, Jan.

Favorite Prescription with great benefit."
Mary Ann Frisbio, Lehman, Pa., writes, May
20th. 1872 :
" Dr. R. V. Pierce VThat I have taken of
your medicine has been of more benefit to me
than all others and hundreds of doctors' bills."

Hagan's Magnolia Balm will make any lady of
thirty appear but twenty; and Lyon's K&thatron
will keep every hair In Its place, and make it
grow like the April grass. It prevents the hair
from tnrnlng gray, eradicates Dandruff, and Is
the finest Hair Dressing In the world, and at only
half ordinary cost. If you want to get rid of Sal'
lowness, Pimples, atng-marks, Moth-patches, etc.,
don't forgot the Magnolia Balm, ladles.

will let a horse limp when Mustang Liniment will
cure it? Who will let a child cry and suffer rora

they ean buy Mtxlcan Liniment for SO ets. and
