This is no doubt humanity, but it is supremely illogical. Marbot recounts in his memoirs per Lnps the ni06t absurd application ever made of tba theory of the "ameni ties." In the bnttle of Austorlitz a body of beaten Russians, about five thousand strong, strove- to escape neroFs the ice on the Sntechan Lake. Napoleon ordced his artillory to fire ou the ice, which was shattered, and in eu and horses slowly settled down into the depthc, only a few escaping by means of poles and ropes thruist out from shoro by tho French. Next morning, Napoleon, riding round tho positions, saw a wounded Russian oflicer clinging to an ice rloe it hundred yards out, and entreating help.

GOOD WINTER COVERING FOIt HOSES. Lay down your hybrid perpetual roses, and cover them in some way, writes E. E. llexford. I fiud nothiug better than leaves, but if you cannot get these use hay, or straw, or ever green branches, I have often win tered plants finely by simply covering inem witu soil. 'ibis answers verv well if there is good drainaco nbout tho plants, so that water is not re tained in ths soil long enough to iu- iire tho wood of the brucches. liut tho better way is to lay tho branches down in a close muss, all pointing one way, aud set boards six or eight iuches high, on each sido. Fill iu between tho boards, and over tho bushes with leaves, upon which place evergreen branches to prevent their blowing away. Hay aud litter will not require auything to hold them in place, but it is a good plan to lay boards over the whole iu such a manner hs to shed rain. American Agriculturist. JITDOINO BITTER, It seems to me that one method of judging butter would be improved if we would follow the examples of judges of live stock to a certain ex tent, says Professor II. C. Wallace. Whoa a judge is asked to pass upon a ring of twenty-five or thirty horses, he first goes over them carefully and selects a dozen of tho best ones, send ing me rest to the stable. Then he goes over these critically and weeds oux ino poorer Half, continually nar rowing the competition down until he has but two or three to decide be tween. If, instead of doing this, he biartea in with a handful of score- cartls and attempted to select lm winner iu that manner, ho would very soon regret the day he consented to act in the capacity of a judge. And yet he would hare a very easy task compared to that of a man who at tempts intelligently to score thirty tubs of butter in succession. If our butter judges would go over the ex hibit in this manner, they would have little difficulty in selecting tho best half dozen or dozen tubs. Farm and Dairy. rCONOMt OP SHELTER. Tho time is at hand when, tho wise find merciful man will see to it that his live stock are properly sheltered during tho winter months. Warmth and comfort are essential to health and thrift. If they are not provided an "attempt to supply them will be made by an increased consumption of food. This is a costly substitute and an unsatisfactory one, as it cannot prevent the cheek which the growth will receive. Like all substitutes, it sometimes fails to accomplish the end designed, aud the animal then crows nick and weaklv. If, on the other hand, the animal is toughened and hardened 1 exposure, what is gained? Theextra feed he has consumed is more valuable than tho uhelter which would have avoided its need, his stunted growth will never be mado up, and the toughening aud hardeuiug of his constitution, ou which so muoh stress is often laid, has resulte'l iu a deterioration in quality. The native steer is hardier tbuu the Shoithorn, but which makes tho host beef? Tho scrub cow will bear more exposure than the delicate Jersey, but which yieldH tho richest inilk? It is a law of nature that improvement, whether in man or beast, is accom panied with a ccrtuiu amount of deli cacy. If we desire the former we must bo willing to give the necessary care to counterbalance tho latter. Now York World, DANUF.n or FEEDISU WJIEAT TO HOP.SES. This winter a great muuy aro ad vocating or considering the advisabil ity of feeding wheat to horses on au ctmut of tho cheapnosB of this feed, and a few have raised the alarm against sueli a practice. While this gruin may prove of advantage to hog3 and other imiiunl;:, it is certainly unsuited t horses, except in tho very smallest quantities, nud then moro as medicine thau us food. It is much better for nu oid horse than for a young growing nniiun), and while it may be fed with impunity to a hoico twenty or thirty years old, it will, in niue cases out of ten, founder a young one. If homo of the old hoiso brooders Ul fanners cau look back thirty or forty year.-r, they will remember when wheat was fed quite liberally t;i horses-, nud tbo term "gruiu founder," then becnino very generally known tlirouoh hard experience. This it tho worst founder kuown ti- hui-es. t-ml niter a great ii'.i'iilier of hoi ses aulV.-red iu this way.il was found that grain was the t'.iusa of Ihd tr.jiilile, und tho chief glrtiu we.;. wU.'at. A yoiin-; horso that bus been liberally fed with w heat when mowing, vu for only one winter, i.s pretty sure to Pe unsound, and many purchasers would refuse to tako suca a horse at any price. In feeding wheat to horses this winter it should be remembered that this danger is always presont. It mv be fed in sninll quantities along with oat?, so that no real barm may follow, but a a rulo it is the worst possible food for horses used on the road. It mnkes them lazy, slothful, fat and overheated. If one wishes to make fnt instead of muscle, in tho form of good bran, wheat enn bo fed along wit it nay or oats very successfully. Old stallions do well on a diet of oue part oats and three parts of wheat, for it makes them more vigorous iu the stud, nut lat and lazy. There is a time iu a horse's life when wheat can be fed with great success, and that is as a me.lioino to a mare with foal that is apt to have abortion. as soon as the mores beg n to get loose, tuey should lie fed some wheat A pint of clean, sound wheat, mixed with two quarts of clean, sound oot. should be fed night and morning for three days. By that time the trouble will stop. here a suckling foal has the Bcours a pint of wheat flour in a pail of water will generally remedy the evil. Sometimes a little wheat mixed with the fped will answer the same purpose. Wheat is constipating and it consequently has its value iu tho feed economy, but it is hardly the kind of feed we need for our horses as a regular diet. Germantown Tele- firl'h. FARM AND G ARE EN NOTES. Jlillt is eighty-seven percent water. Cheese is the most concentrated form of milk. Silage of corn and clover is believed to be the fodder of the futuro. Dairy snlt is ns sensitive as milk or cream to odors, oud should bo equally guarded troin them. Liko corn, wheat is better for slow. hard work, thaa for BpeeJ. Oats and hay are best for fast-goers. Feed alone will never control tho value of milk. The individuality of the cow has much to do with it. Wheat is more a growth than a fat producer, is good for yonng auimals, but should be coarselv ground before feeding. Grain alone is too highly concen trated food for horses. They must have somo "roughness" with it, such "as hay, straw or fodder. The man who expects the biggest success iu dairying must have dairy cows. The all-around cow is not and never will be a shining success. Cultivation may bo stopped lata in the season, and a crop can then be sown upon the land. This crop may serve as a cover or protection to the soil, and as a green manure. Trotting stock, except for extreme speed, is suffering from ovor-produo-tion, but there is and probably always will be a profitable market for hand some, useful, half-bred hackneys. Never believe the man who soys he can remove a spavino of ring-bone and leave no blemish. Even if he calls himself a professor, do not question his title -that is what ho is and all he is. Two parts each of bran and ground wheat and one of chopped oats make the best rut ion for brood mares. They should bo given about three pounds of it, threo times a day, with hay or straw. Feed that will make a pound of beef will make a pound of butter or two pounds of cheese. If butter and cheese bring more than beef there is money in dairying, rather than stock raising. Burn manures are generally more economically used wheu applied to inrrn crops than when applied to or chards; yet they can be used with ood results, particularly when rejuve nating old orchards. Whole wheat should not be fed to horses, they swallow it without chew ing, and it ferments in their stomachs. producing indigestion aud colic, or passes throngh unchanged. It should be either soaked to burst the grains. or coarsely ground, for the same pur pose. In general, the commercial complete fertilizers are less practical for or chards than a fertilizer made for the occasion out of materials evidently nieded by the trees; but the com-, plete fertilizers give muoh better re sults than the prevailing iudifference and neglect. Auy cow thut will give less than twelve pounds of solids iu every 100 of her milk, three pounds of which should be butter fat, is not profitable, and should be converted into beef. There should bo thirteen pounds of solids in every 100 of milk, with, four pounds of actuul butter fat. Comfort Aflectetl by Color ot Clothln-j.

SAPOLJO Is Like a Goad Temper, " It Sheds a Brightness Everywhere," co, tot wu sr., w-vo Hypnotism for the Deaf. rriuoipnl Currier, of Hie Now York Institution, has startled the scimitiflo world by his thoory that hypnotism may, in certain oasoa, bo snooessfully npplied with a view to give bearing to tho deaf. Tho average individual knows littlo or nothing concerning tho "eerie science," as some writers term it, bnt scicutillo and medical men have shown it be of value in ruontal diseases, and, we believe, iu surgery. It would bo folly to say that it la cer- tiiuly goiug to provo efficacious in re moving deafness ; still the theory ad vanced and the arguments used are plausible enough to justify experiment. All tho great inventions that are now being of bo much eervioo to mankind were ridiculed nnd douonnood at the beginning, aud I'riuoipnl Cnrrior will bo exceptionally lucky if his theory is not maltreated and abtisod by unbe lievers.
