DEADENING TIMBER.
A Southern farmer writes, in the South,
where the laud is usually cleared by
deadening the practice is convenient, but
more coolly in the end than complete
clearing at tho first. Land is cleared of
the small timber at a cost of about $5
per acre, while it cosU nt least $25 to
clear it completely. Iu general there is
no practice that is in common use with
I out some advantage, and this applies to
the deadening of the timber in tue first
clearing. Where timber Li scarce to

a large quantity of standing timber, once
of no value, but now worth more thuu
the cost of cleariug for tho lumber and lire
wood in it. Timber will keep sound many
years, and where there is no market for it
and a possibility of a future v.ilue, it is ad
visable to kill and leave it for future use.
The common method iu the South is to
leave the largo tfmbor which is not in
the way of growing crops, and after a
few years to seed the land to grass, and
Tradually clear it off at leisure. There
i no damage or benefit to the land in any

WARM WATER FOR COW9.
Varin water f -ijws to drink is tho
Auujecff up fwlisc'ussiou iu the conven
tions uhd papers at this time. It is
wonderful how much experimenting en
be douu and how very little is fouud
out. One wise man will try ft here and
come to one conclusion while another
wise man will try it there and come to
quite another conclusion, each thinking
he has settled the question forever. The
outside party will reud the report! and
immediately seo that each one of those
parties tried the experiment under
entirely different surroundings. Oae
may have kept tho cows warm and
decided in favor of cool water while tho
fether reversed this by keeping his cows
cold and deciding in favor of warm
water. The proper way would seem to
be first to put the cow in the proper con
dition, both as to housing and feeding
and especially having plenty of meat on
her bones, then try her with water at all
the temperatures from blood heat to
freezing and the one she then thrives
under is the best for a cow that is prop
erly kept. Any other plan simply tests
the matter of one error counteracting
another error which is knowledge scarce

Us leaves and flowers from a large bulb,
and increases rapidly. In order to se
cure strong, blooming plants It is well to
remove most of the young bulbs, as, if
allowed to remain about the old plant,
the pot soon becomes full of bulbs, and
as a result you will get but few flowers.

'i flowers resemble those of that plaat

Jiree to five flowers are borne in each

ers will palm off inferior birds nt the
high prices of tho perfect ones. Tho
perfect Oronr.o turkeys should have black
aud . glossy plumage, and those from
seven to eighteen months of ago should
weigh between fourteen ami sixteen
pounds. The cocks of the same age
should turn tho scales from twenty to
twenty-five pounds. The marks of auro
Are generally uumistakablo on bronze
turkeys as well as upon other poultry.
The legs especially grow scaly as tho
birds grow old, and when flvo or six
years of age they turn to a light pink
hue. They aro alsa less lively in actions,
and act moody and tame.
Tho color of their plumage Is also a
pretty good guide to their age and purity
of strain. Tho plumage of a young tur
key will sparkle with golden bronze and
purple hues, which cannot be mistaken.
It shines and glitters in the sun as if it
came out of the glossy black color of

Is trim and pretty looking. There is nn
appearance of general quickness aud
activity about them, which is not notice
able in poor breeds or in old turkeys.
When tho cscks and hens havo been
selected for breeding purposes it should
bo remembered that the quality of tho
flock is to ho kept up year after year.
To do this the cocks nre more essential
than the hens. Young hens nl.ra.ys par
take more of tho male parent than the fe
malo, aud a full-bred cock will often
transmit all of its good qualities to the
young of a half-bred turkey hen. Fart of
tho flok should be kept over every year
for future breeding purposes, aud only
the best hens should be selected for this
purpose. The color of tho plumage,
size and general activity of the hens should
influence ono in this choice. Then it m.iy
often be necessary to purchase one full
bred cock, for this is the best way to keep
up the strain of the family aud prevent
deterioration. Qiite a number of flocks
of bronze turkeys have lost nearly all
their characteristics by lack of this pre
caution. They need new blood aud out
side strains to give more vitality and
strength to them. When this is neglected
the turkeys gradually become common or

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Perkin ducks do best where there
is
no water.
Eggs cannot be produced without lime
for the shells.
The earlier the pullets aro batched the
sooner they will begin layiug.
Tho beginning of the yeir is a good
time to begin keeping accounts.
Iu small yards two cocks aro worse
than none on account of fighting.
In-breeding is tho father of a good
deal of swine trouble Change boars.
Extra care is neoded with the chickens
that are hatched early, but it will pay.
Success with young chicks demands
warmth,dryneis, liberal feeding and puro
air.
A few days in tho spricg will make a
considerable difference in the price; try
to be early.
Never leavo a horso after driving iu
the mud until his feet aud lejs are
rubbed dry.
When the fowls aro confined, as they
must be largely at this tiuie, scabby legs
will be more prevalent.
The best market usually for largo tur
keys is during the holidays; after that
medium fowls sell the. best.
The colt needs silt and the best way
to give it is to let him have freo access
to a manner or bos which contains suit.
Teach tho boys in a practical way that
the farm is the foundation of their suc
cess in life and they will not flee to tho
city.
With comfortable stables the horses
will not suffer. But the mora comfort
able the stable the more the horse nocds
a blanket when left standing out-doors.
Why not work tho stallion I You want
the colt's to work, and if the sire spends
his life in the stall doing nothing won't
he be likely to breed laziness into his
colts?
What is the uso in paying twelve to
twenty dollars' service fee for a colt from
a good horse and then making a scrub
of it by roughing it . through the first
winter?
Oats must be very high in your locality
if you cannot afford to feel the colt and
calves some. In fact, if you bavo younji
animals that nre worth raising at all, yol
cauuot allord to go without feeding
oats.

Caught Great Eagle.
F. Marker, who is working out at A.
IT. Smith's sawmill on Rifle Creek, sets
large trap, thinking to cntch a monster
bear, whoso tracks were seen in the
neighborhood. Several days after ho
went out to look at his trap, but instead
of tho bear he found a largo cnglo, tho
largest, perhaps, ever seen in tho Rocky
Mountains. Tho caglo had been caught
in tho powerful jaws of tho trap by ono
leg just above the claws. lie had dragged
the immense trap, whirh wns secured to
a log by a chain, into somo brush more
tlinn twenty-five feet from tho spot whero
trapped, and was dead. So largo aud
strong wns ha leg that it was not broken.
The caglo was too large to carry, so tho
trapper cut both legs off as trophies.

The study of statistics is said to rouse the
Chancellor of the Exchequer to enthusiasm,
and dull Jgures properly introduced to one
another have told Btirring tales. Mr. Chts.
Booth's figures about the poverty of St.
George's-in-the-East and the figures lately
published by the rector m his annual report
ihout the public houses iu Jils parish ought
to be brought side by side. The inhabitants
of St. Ueorge's East are among the poorest
in Londou. Indeed, .Mr. Chas. Booth reck,
ons St. George's to be the poorest district in
East London, containind 48.8 per cent, of
what he calls "the poor," compared with
oU2 per cent, in V hitechapel, and 44. 7 per
cent, in Bethnal-green.
There are, nevertheless, 81 public houses to
supply with drink the 11,000 people who 00

October 30, 1S1I0. many of the public houses

November 7, 77 adults were counted enter

that 300 a year must be annuity paid in

America's danger and msorace.
The craving of alcolul.bejotton of alcohol,
ever waxes danger; the moment comes
when it i9 a wild passion, a fiorco ma .ness,
says Archbishop Ireland. In slavery to it
woman lorgets honor; the lather in hellish
laughter casts to the vender of liquor
that solitary dimo that would slay the
starvation of the child; the husband pawns
the cot of the dying wile.
The muscular giant crouches in terror be
fore the shrine; youth yields u; freshness of
mien and hopes of fortune,an.1 mo.'ks for its
sake a mother's tears and a bride's love. Old
ago at its bilding puts on the garment of
idiocy, and closes iu earthly journey in dis
grace and sin. Intelligence will not ward
oft iis arrows; poet, orator, statesman go
forward chained to its chariot into Mamer
tine gloom. Piety does not with
stand the fury of ita breath. The
very cedars of Lebanon have been
laid low, the roral oaks of the forest have
been uncrowned and flung into the deep val
leys of ignominy and death. The home is
made desolate by it. How sacred the home 1
It is God's appoint 1 treasury of pure and
sweet love! There happiness bubbles forth
from ever-living springs; virtue germinates
aud blooms in native aoil, watere i by pro
pitious dews from the skies. Tho homes of
the land are the social units of which tbo
aggregate is the nation. The nation in its
wider sphere of action is the reflection of its
homes. The poisonous breath of alcohol
passes over the home; it is the passage of
death. The drunkard's soul exhales hatred
and sin; hearts of wife and mother break in
anguish; the ceaseless tear-drop of sorrow
glisten on the eyelid, aud the veil of gloom
and despair darkens their faces. Alcohol's
hellish work goes beyond the drunkard's
home. There is physicial an I moral conta
gion; other homes are smitten, and alcohol
lifts up its sceptre within their enclosure. The
drunkenness of an employe endangers au
entire industry; that of a trusted guardian
of public interests ruins fortunes and de
stroys precious lives. Poverty is begotten,
the sober and industrious are taxed to re
lieve it. Citizens of America, know and
realiie the danger. Evil bearing alcohol
floods your land; its murky and noxious
billows are donning ajainst your homes, and
their angry crest rise ti the very summits of
the pillars upon which are set your free re
publican institutions.
Intemperance is not the festive rollicking
of former times; it is bestial In its degrada
tion, hellish In its crime begetting power.
Indeed, intemperance is increasing the world
over; it has become the virulent malady of
the nineteenth century, a fact which does
not make our own local condition the more
hopeful.
The saloon keeper is alcohol's soldier; he
is America's danger and disgrace. Sacred

On December 19th, 1 was confined to my
room with tho Grippe. The Treasurer of
lbs "Commercial Advertiser" recommend
ed that I should try a boltlo of "Aycr's
Cherry Pectoral," as it had cured him of the
t amo complaint. 1 lent for a bottle, and in
two dnys I was able to resume my business,
and am now entirely cured.
As I took no other remedy, I can bnt give
all the credit to tho "Cherry reotoral,"
which I gratefully recommend as a speedy
spcclflc for this disease.

The wrong way,
with Catarrh, is to stop it without
curing it. Tho poisonous, irrita
ting snuffs, strong caustio solutions,
"creams,'1 balm and the like may,
perhaps, palliate for a time. But
they may drive tho diseaso to the
luns. The wrong way is full of
danger.
Tho right way is a proved one.
It's with Dr. Sago's Catarrh Rem
edy. It cures, perfectly and per
manently, by it-s mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties,
the worst cases of Chronio Catarrh.
It has proved itself right, thou
sands of times, when everything
else has failed.
And this makes its proprietors
willing to prove that it's the right
thing for you, no matter how bad
your case or of how long standing.
If they can't cure your Catarrh,
they'll pay you t500 in cash.
They mean it.
They're certain of their niedv
cine.
