WINTER SllltLTKti OF LIVE STOCK. It should ho apparent to every thinking man that food serves as fuel in tho animal body, just as rauoh as wood or coal servos as fuel beneath tho boiler of tho engiuc. Eaoh is au ngont creating force, writes a profes sor at I'urduo University, Lafayette, Ind. If the boiler is surrounded by a thick layer of ice, it will roquiro much more fuel to create a cortain number of pouuds of Btcam, than it will if it is situated in a tcmporate at mosphere. P>y tho same logio, if an animal is turned out iuto tho iutenso cold ot winter, it will requiro more food to keep up animal warmth and euorgy, than it would if the wero kept in a warm stable. , x a" Anj-,ierson who has circiluiy sunt led tho cure of live stock realizes tho truth of this. Consequently, tho bost stoekmou give their animals suitable protection from winter cold. It is, however, to bo greatly regretted that many owners ot livo stock turn thoir animals out in all sorts of weather. I have seen miich cows on bleak hill sides when tho thermometer registered below aero, aud the air was ospecially cutting. A ride of 250 miles across country, »u a bleak winter's day, will show huudrcds of cattlo in cornfields or pastures when they ought to be in the stable. It is to bo regretted that so few persons realize tho real loss in curred by suoh exposure. Ono winter 1 purchased for tho In diana Experiment Station six milch cows for experimental work. Thuy wero divided iuto two lots of three each. Oil lot was given tho shelter of the stable, while tho other was kopt out of doors during tho day, iu nil kiuds of weather, although sheltered iu tho st.iblo at night. For sevou wooks this treatment- was maintained. At tho oud of this poriod it was found that tho sheltered lot had given 101 pounds more of milk than tho unsheltered, lu\d o itou less grain food to produce this milk, and had gained iu weight over 200 pounds, while tho unshel tered oues had lost iu weight. As the sheltered cows had showu a financial gain of about sl2 iu the aggregate, over tho others, in increased tlow of milk, cost of keep aud iuoreaso in weight, it certainly paid to shelter theiu. Other experiments, especially with pigs, liavo shown tho wisdom of giv iug reasonable shelter duriug the win tcr. In every ease that comes to my memory, pork was produced at a loss cost per pouud where tho pigs were sheltered than where unsheltered. The question of shelter, however, should not be taken to an extreme. It is esseutial for good health that stable? have proper ventilation aud sauitary conveniences. A stable filled with cattle soou becomescoutamiuated with impure i ir unless proper ventilation is provide I. This should bo secured so as to produce uo direct draft upou Iho animal body, l'louty of sweet, pure uir is most important, Tho writer has been in stables where the uir was warm iu winter, but it was also foul to an injurious cxteut. Ha l the air been a little cooler aud sweeter it would have been all the bettor for tho cattle. A winter temperature ot fifty do groes in tho slablo may bo safely | recoiumcudod. It is not desirable to I go above or much below this. ! Owuers of live stock ein givo fairly good protection to their stock at small expense by the use ol straw, old boards [ or leaves, fur warding oil the cold winds and rain. It is to be hoped our btookuien w ill gr.» lually see the folly of turning their stock out iuto tho fields in winter, for a brief uiriug, au I will improve iu their methods of winter keupiu;,'. It cer tainly will pay to givu proper atten tion to this subject, if it will pay to keep tho stuck at all. —New York In deptu lent.

Y., was a soldier in the late war, ssrving in the Third Wisconsin Cavalry. In 1802, while being transported from Jimes vllle to Chicago, the train was wrecked by a broken nxle, which threw the cars down an embunkment. With many others, Mr. Weaver assisted in rescuing his less fortunate companions, and while liftingthc wreckago from the wounded men, ho received an injury to his spine that rendered his lower limbs useless, besides rup turing himself. He was taken to Sr. Louis, where he received the best medical treat ment, but without getting any relief. Hu was then taken to Fort Lfavenworth, but with no better success. While at the latter place ho was examined by tho Board of Medical Examiners, who pronounced his caso.a hopeless one, telling him that although he might live for years, ho would always bo helpless. Since then he has spent thousands o( dollars, but has never been able to get any relief, and 110 felt that lie would always bo compelled to drag himself about with the aid of crutches. Four years ago he was taken worse, was not able to get about even with the aid of crutches. It was then that hope die:?, ior the paralysis had attacked his hitherto good right arm as well and loft him indeed help less, being scarcely abln to feed himself and wholly dependent on others. Ho remained In this condition until a little more than a year ago, when ho was induced by hearing of a former friend whose case was similar to his own, who had been to New York for treatment, but who had been told by tho doctors there that thero was no holp for him to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo Pooplo. ' This friend, upon his return home, had his attention called to an adver tisement of Dr. Williams' Medicine Oo.'n Pink Pills, and was induced to try With the insult that ho was .{XEiit n- Weaver had triej in "W,i \!e " eines that he feft." money, but as the - - hoDe while thero is life t0 Kiva ~p lnk Pl || s " « 1 if, V. - - so, anil was astonished to una Doif.rc ..jliad taken one box that he was better xiiis was in June, 1894. that he co:n m,;heed taking them.

Let stand until the paper is thoroughly moistened. Then shtltt well for a fow moments and the bottle will be thoroughly clean. In empty ing the bottle, care should be taken not to hold it over » bottler's tray or wash basin, as the paper would probably causo a stoppage.

Many housekeepers spend half a lifetime at the work before thoy lenru that there is an easy, soientiilc, me chanical and cleanly way to wash dishes. It is not an uncommon thing, if one can get a peep into tho average kitchen during this operation, to seo a pan of water, not very warm, but very greasy, with partio'.esof food floating on tho top of it, and a pile of dishes covered with bits and scraps staudiug ready for a bath in this not very in viting liquid. scientific dish washer cither scrapes off or rinses off all looso par ticles from her dishes before she puts them into the water. She begins with the largest plates, putting them into tho pan first, then adding them by sizes until the pan is full. Cups and other artiolos are ylaccd around, then over all is poured hot soapsuds, not boiling hot, but quite as warm as the hands can bo put into comfortably. The cups and sauces ure, of course, the eleauest things. Tlicso are washed It rut, and by the time she has reached tho plates that may be greasy, they aro wurmod through aud are cleaned with much more easo thau as though they were suddenly put into the water and washed off. At this stage it is a good plun to put into the water, in addition to soap, a tcaspoonful of washing soda, which should bo kept iu a convenient vessel over tho sink. It takes scarcely moro thin half of the time to wash dishes iu this way. Ono good housekeeper has a dish pan almost double the usual sizo. Iu it every dish is put—silver nnd all then the hot water is pourod on, • large quantity being usod, and this is really an economy in timo and strength, prcvido;' water is plenty. As f'.T greasy dish water, good house keepers should nover havo it. An •tbundauce of hot water, good soap, a little soda and dishes properly scraped off beforo beginning are all that is requirod. Dish cloths are among the neglected itoms iu kitohen economy. As a rule, it takes a good deal of nerve to touch dishc'otli. It should bo ono of the first lossous taught to tho young housekeeper that her dish cloths should bo immaculate. "I never bang my dish oloths up until they are so oleau that I could use them as napkins, were it necessary," was the iustruotiou of a noted teacher of household aeienoa. It pays to take time to put the dish pan, kitchen sink and oooking utensils in excellent or der.

Lewis, who i3 counoete with tho artistic advertising depin rai-nt of tho Youth's Companion, unu resides at 33 Dwight Street, Boston, relntes tlmt ho had his attention called to Ripans Tabules by a busi ness acquaintance who expressed a high opinion of them. Mr. Lewis was a good deal troubled with what ho describes as a nervous, bilious condition that appeared to be brought on from time to time by high pressure work or special mental activity or excitement, such as would be common at periods of unusual nervous tension. It has be come his practice at such times to tako a Tabule—just one—at the mo ment that he observes tho ilißleulty approachiug. It makes no differ ence when it is. A favorable result is invariably apparent within twenty minutes. The only noticeable effect is that he feels all right in twenty minutes if ho takes the Tabule; Whileif he does not the nervous, uu romfortable feeling intensities and leads to a bad afternoon and tired evening. He cmr.es one of the lit tle vials with him ail the time how. I ut doesn't have occasiou to apply to it anything like as often as ho did at llrit. Nowiidnys 1 here are fre quent periods of from a week to ten days or even two weeks during which he finds th'it ho has no occa sion whatever to make use of the Tabules, but still carries them in his j ceket, just tho same, so that they may to ready if an occasiou occurs.
