FRACTURE OF BONES OF ASIMAI.S. Valuable horses and cattle may have broken bone of tho limbs set, dressed and heal with u considerable degrco of success. But in consequence of the struggles of injured auimals, whenever secured by every known appliance of the skilful surgeon, deformity from displace ment is the rule and not tho exception. The fore legs of valuable horses may be set and dressed with a fair degree of suc cess where tho proper appliances of tho veterinarian and his skill arc secured at an early hour after the accident has occurred. .There are stallions doing good service after having had a fore leg broken. One that has had a broken leg is a fine road horse, and a three-minute horse will bo compelled to take his dust nil day long, unless the driver of the broken-legged ftallion drives out of sight of tho slower horse. In every serious in jury of animals wo commend immediate surgical advice, and if the caso is incura ble have the animal put out of suffering. American Agriculturitt. TREES AS FENCE POSTS. Ve consider the idea of planting trees . posts a most excellent one, because the tence of the future will no doubt be composed largely of iron or some other cheap metal, which can be fastened to living trees without seriously injuring them or checking their growth. With living trees as posts tho farmer will se cure something that is permanent and al ways in position, when, repairs to other parts of a fence may bo required. Where there are board or rail fences now stand ing on tho line of a highway, the young trees should be planted on the inside, j one or two feet from the fence, in to give room for placing the wires 3 tmtside of the trees as they be trge, without crowding upon the y. Trees should be' selected for .ing that are adapted to the soil and climate, and these can usually be ob tained in the forests of the neighborhood without cost beyond the labor of trans planting. If all of our farmers would put this idea of living fence posta into practice, their present complaints about the great cost of farm fences would have no foundation worthy of a moment's con-ation.'-Ycui York Sun. HOW TO CARE FOR RUNNING GEAR. The repair and renewal of running "t is often a burdensome expense to mers who keep a variety of carts, cks, farm wagons and riding carriages. 'ot infrequently this expense is hugely creased by lack of care or by ignorance if the effects which varied atmospheric maiuons nave upon the woodwork or cels. These, if badly constructed at start, arc costly articles, though they id as a gift. To attain the best and economical results, it is necessary n with honestly-constructed gears, n give them intelligent care.

Besides the actual y use, the agents most destructive ning gears aro moisture and the heat. Unless the woodwork is ighly protected by paint or varnish I swell whenever it is wet, causing lging" of the spokes, splitting of hub :lly and perhaps tho "dishing" of the wheel. If a gear is not thoroughly ed by paint it can be readily seen i earthen floor, usually quite moist, 'efore, not the best kiud of sup When wheels are long exposed to n's rays there is likely to be a ige of the wood that opens the readily, admitting moisture. When ccessury to have a cart or wagon t doors, let some old blankets or of carpeting be thrown over the x, or, better still, have on hand a of cheap cloth large enough to body, wheels and all. Fierjuent iug of farm wagons, sleds, etc., to r w ith care as to exposure, will save f dollars ot expense. A light car t or wagon that is driven upon the should have its rims painted and whole vehicle varnished at least once year. That will go a long way inl protecting it from the action of weather.

House the pullets. Tree tops are not the warmest roost ing places at this season of the year. Always feed by scattcrng out so that the fowls will not gorge themselves. Fcediug sulphur twice a week will, in many cases, euro hens of feather pulling. Many make the mistake of overfeeding, keeping the stock too fat to be profit able. Better soli the extra poultry reasonably early than bo obliged to purchase feed in order to winter. Go over the poultry house now and see that all cracks are closed tight. Warmth is an essential item. If your runs and house are too small don't try to keep a large flock and woudcr why you are not successful. If you ventilato, don't make a draft; if you do there will likely be a "draft'' on the number of your flock. Poultry intended for breeding should never bo pampered. Vigor aud health are more important than fat. Soft soap is considered a good remedy for scaly lugs. Hub on and let remain a short time and then wash off. Ouincas generally go in pairs, and iu selling oil the surplus in the fnH this fact should always bo remembered. Bo long as a good variety of food can be given, the fowls will usually need very little stimulants or condiments. Healthy, thrifty fowls are invariably early risers, and they should be fed as soon as they fly down from tho roosts. Unless good care is taken in the se lection of tho breeding stock, the best breed will soon degenerate to be not bet ter than dung hills. By this time the demaud for dressed poultry comes in, and generally it will be found more profitable to scud to mar ket in this way than to ship alive. Fowls will fatten more rapidly if they are fed often rather than a large quantity fed less frequently. Fattening poultry ought to be fed at least five times a day. At the present price of grain will it pay you to carry a raft cf cockerels till spring and then sell them as "old roosters?" Don't go to sleep and lose your head ; act with judgment. In our own flock of poultry the remedy we find a sure cure for all diseases and ailments is to bleed, with one blow of the hatchet, directly back of the ears. It is very inexpensive aud effectual. . On many small farms a combination of small fruits, bees and oultry can be made very profitable. Like every other kind of work, however, care and atten tion must bo given if the good results are realized. It is unnecessary to teach an incubator hatched chick to eat, they will soon learn. They never require food for the first twenty-four hours. Afterward they will generally obey the instincts of nature aud peck around for a morsel. The cold affecU-the milk product of unprotected dairy cows very unfavorably. If you wonder what makes the cattle shrink so in their milk we say cold weath er and exposure to wind and rain. It pays to keep ir.ilch cows in a warm stable these cold nights, also to mix their mess of mill-feed with warm (not hot) water. With plenty of pasture land geese can be made profitable if they are well man aged. They need a good shelter in winter. It is not too late yet to lay in a good supply of road dust to use for tht dust bath, and to use as an absorbeut. Qood males are the most important part of the flock, at least so far as the breed ing is concerned. The manager of a poultry farm which has been in existence five years, without an epidemic of any kind of diseases, says an inflexible rule of the establishment is to kill every chicken that shows a de cided lack of vitality. It is poor economy of time, patience and feed to attempt to coddle weak or sickly chickens. The healthiest and strongest alone are kept. Three turkey bens with one gobbler will usually bring as many young turkeys as one will care to raise on the farm. When a specialty is made of them more breeding fowls should be kept. Feed sott feed of all kinds in troughs. If it is fed on board) or floors the fowls will tramp over more or less of it and make it filthy, much more so than if fed in troughs. Beans do not love moisture, and a wet season is more unfavorable to this crop than a dry one. Yet they are sometimes injured not so much by drought as by dry weather coming when the crop is overgrown with weeds, which rob it of whatever moisture the soil contains. Good cultivation early is the only remedy. After the beans get into blossom stirring the soil covers the leaves with dust and causes rust. Earthquakes as s Matter of Course. A returned traveler said to a St. Louis reporter the other u.;: " A pe u liar thing about living in Central Amer ica is the ease with which you become accustomed to the earthquakes. They do not come without giving due notice. You are sitting in a piazza of a hot after noon chatting with your friends, when suddenly the sky seems to grow hazy, the crows stop cawing and the buzzards quit fightiug in the street. There is a general rush, and, though you may not know what is the matter, you cannot help feeling uneasy. The old natives say 'we are going to have a little shake,' aud then the house begins to rock, the tumblers full oil the table, and you feel deadly sick at the stomach, and the thing is ullover; the sky clears, the crows begin their noisy screams and the buz zards resume their quarrel over the street offul. There is something inexpressibly terrifying, however, about the trembling of the earth; the slightest oscillutiou will awaken the populutiou of the whole iwu, aud arouse a drunkard out of the fpest stupor, but unless sour) considur damage is done, everybody goes to "uiu as a mutter of course."

If fiuo cut glasa becomes tarnished ot blurred polish with a fine soft brush on which is sifted very fine and soft whiting aDd it will be restored to its original beauty ; or a very soft piece of newspnpor can be used to polish gloss. Wet the piece of newspaper slightly and gently rub the glass. Be careful not to give tho frail thing a twist in rubbing it that is, carrying one hand in an opposite direc tion from the other, which is the quick est way to break anything. After that repeat the work with some dry, soft paper. It is said that tho printer's ink causes newspaper to give a finer polish when cleaning glass than anything else. However this may be, no lint remains, and the polish is brilliant. If fine cut-glass water bottles get dingy inside rinse them occasionally with a little muriatic acid and then rinse ia clear, cold water very thoroughly. Muriatic acid will removo stains or impurities, and greatly improve the brilliancy of the glass. But ashes, sand or shot, which many use to cleanse glass, scratch and injure the glass and do not bring back the original lustre. Besides, the lead in shot is poisonous, and if any is left through carelessness in the decanter it might do great harm. Brooklyn Citi ten. THE PErPEU MILL IS A LUXURY. The little pepper mill is a luxury that has not yet made its appearance in this country, except, perhaps in isolated in stances, although it is common on the tables of hotels and private houses in England and on the Continent. It is a barrel, about two inches high, of silver, oak or cut glass. The bottom is per forated and on top is the silver handle which turns the mill in the barrel. The pepper is put in whole and is ground by the person using it directly on the article of food which is to be seasoned. The article is not only an ornament to the table and interesting as a novelty, but it has decided advantages over the ordinary pepper-boxes. In the first place, tho spice which comes from it is fresh, and therefore strong. In tho next place, the pepper is pure, which cannot always bo asserted of that which is bought already ground. The investiga tions of the Government testers of food have shown that the adulteration of ground pepper is exceedingly common, and wheu you use one of the little mills you can be reasonably sure you nro eat ing pepper and not a compound of it with pulverized wood, appropriately dyed. The man who has given a pepper-box a gentle shake, only to find that its con tents resist his invitation, and theu topped it sharply, only to have his food spoiled by the avalanche of the pungent stuff, will appreciate the mill. It has no vagaries, but always spreads the condi ment as gently and evenly as snow fulls on a windless day. Neat York Tribune. HF.CIPES.

General Booth In his new book, "In Dark est England," says: "Have you ever watched bv the beilside of a man in delirium tremens? Multiply the sufferings of one drunkard by the buudred thousand, and you have some idea of what scenes are being witnessed in ill our great cities this moment. As in Africa itreams intersect the forest in every direc tion, so the gin shop stands at every corner with itsiiiver of the Water cf Death flowing seventeen hours out of the twenty-four for the destruction of the people. A population sodden with drink, steeped in vice, eaten up by every social and physical malady these are the denizens of darkest England, amid whom my life has been sjient and to whose rescue 1 would now summon all that is best In the manhood and womanhood of our land." HOW THEY BAIT THEIR HOOK. The Ovgnnizrr, an organ of the W. C. T. TJ. says: "A prominent Chicago saloon wish ing to Increase its trade, recently began pushing for customers among the boys, i ine rooms for all kinds of games were fitted up and invitations printed on postal cards were sent to all the older boys in the ward. The result was the rooms were soon crowded. It was intended not to sell them liquors at ilrst, but to get them in the habit of spending the evenings in the saloon, the owners well knowing what the final result would be. The good people whose boys wore started on the road to ruin, became alarmed, and tried to break up this boys' resort, but they soon found that the saloon-keeper had a perfect right to let in the bovs if he did not sell to them. A Chicago Judge, in a recent sen tance, defines the saloon-keeper's legal right in this respect in the following language: 'You may allow boys and children to fre quent your saloon; they may witness the apparent satisfaction with which their seniors quail the sporkliug glass; you may be schooling and training them for the period of tweuty-ono,when they, too, can participate for all this is lawful.'" HOW TO PROMOTE TEMPER AXCF, Edward Kverett Hnle says in the Come politan Maijazine: I once askel the chief of a great temperance home how one could work to destioy the craving for liquor. He looked at me with some surprise tbat a man in my profession should ask such a question. and said at once: "No mun ever becomes temperate himself unless he tries to make some one els9 temperate." Iu a ashion 1 had know this, as every preacher of Chris tianity must know it; it is a doctrine laid down in the gosrels in a huudreJ tonus, but I bad never used it as a working formula nor bad I reuMinniendnt it to other p?opla as I have done since. Let me say this to any per son trying to reform a relative or a friend. You must introduce this desire to help for ward somebodv else or your work will not stand long. Your protege need not speak at temperance meetings if lie does not want to, but do you take care that he is doing some thing iu the general cauie of purity that he is thinking of some one besides himself. We do not attain purity by thiuking of impur ity. We do not attain to temperance by thinking of intemperance. Give him a high motive and you have so far lifted him from the plane on which he slipped and fell. An old and wise friend, who is still living under the not cold shadow of four score and ten, inculcating practical morals, said to me once: "You are interestei in temperance; I will tell you how to save men from drunken ness." And when I eazerlv asked the secret. he replied by saying: "Make them plant trees, make them plant trees So soon as they are interested iu the growth of any thing else they will be led outside them selves, and they will not have time to t drunk!" I should be afraid to trust to this instruction if 1 bad a man returned to rue from the House of Correction at ter his teuta contiMeiuent for the tenth spree which had comuiaiidod the attention of the police, but it involves an element which ought to be more considered than it see sua to ba general- y. You want to change the manner of life of your patient as largely as you can. especially you want to take him into the open air if you can. The army iu the Civil War was. for the private, a school of temperance. I think most officers will agree with me in this. For officers it was of ten. alas I a school of drunkenness, because they could order for their own use liquors which their men could not use. But Ulster the absolute prohibition which existed when an army was far from any "civilised post," and in the freedom and freshness of the open air life, many a man learned practically a lesson which, before, he had no opportunity to try. If I were the dictator of this -Satiou there should be beet tea, or some stimulant of equal value and innocence, at the door of every factory where bard work is done, that man or woman might driuk a cup ashe gites out from work before he could refresh hunseir elsewhere.

Gravitation is a subject tbat nearly everybody is somewhat familiar with, but there aro Borne things about it tbat you may not know. For instance, Blip pose you were weighed at tho top of a deep coal mine, and afterward at the bottom, do you suppose that there wouhl be any dilTcrenco in the result! Yes, there would. You would be lighter at tho bottom. If it were possible for you to go on downward 2000 miles in the earth, and there bo weighed you would probably be surprised to find your weight only one-half of what it was at the sur face; and if you could go to the center of the earth you wouldn't weigh an onnco. This is because, the center of the earth ia tho center of its attractive power, which is exerted equally in all directions. If you ascend from the surface of the earth, your weight will also decrease, but not in the samo ratio as when you descend. In going upward the decrease will be in proportion to tho squaroof tho distance. Thus, while you would weigh nothing if you should go downward 4000 miles from the surface, you would still weigh one-fourth your actual weight if you could weigh yourself 4000 miles up in the air. The law of gravitation is at once the strangest aud the most sublime in all nature. Light travels at the amazing rate oi 180,000 miles in a second. Thero are visible stars so far away that if one were blotted out at this instant it would be seen on the earth thousands of years hence, because rays of light, starting now, would take so long to reach us, even at the wonderful velocity at which they travel. But if a new star were now placed out there in tho depths of space, where tho blotted out one was, its at tractive force would reach us instantly. Thnt strange force which dominates the universe would at ouco be felt, though, of course, inappreciably, between the new star and our earth. Gravitation differs from all other forces in another respect. The intervention of bodies iu the line of attraction makes no difference in the attractive force exerted. For example, when the moon comes into direct lino between the earth and the sun, there is not the slightest difference in the reciprocal attraction between the two former. Tho enormous power of this attractive force is utterly inconceivable. We are constantly reminded of the power the earth exerts in pullii.g us downward, but think of the attractive power of a body like the sun, more than a million times larger than tho earth. And this power controls every speck of light that we sco in the heavens. Philadel phia Timet. Mrr. John D. Rockefeller, wife of the richest man in America, enjoys being her own housekeeper.

There was a fine eihlbition of strength of the Aral) at wrestling match in valley around which the mountains row gradually, formiug a natural amphithea ter, says a recent writer. Here a large audience sat on the rock overlooking the spnee below. Tho rival tribes) were seated at each end of the valley, while their chiefs walked proudly up and down in front of them. Then one of the chiefs would call out a champion and challenge a rival. The two would throw off their cloaks and rush at each other, and wrestle until one would get his head under the body of the other, and with great force, throw his adversary in the air over his back. Sometimes after a despctato struggle the chiofs would have to separate thorn ; they being equal, neither ono bciujz able to throw the other. Onaxantwd Are ynr elsrht pr ont.
