A WOHAK IM THE CASE.
"Tell the truth," said John Ilavilantl, as he
threw asiclo the evening paper, ami faced the
littlo group In tho parlor, "I am fast growing
cut of patienco with tlio text, A woman at
the bottom of it. It would seem Btratigo in tills
world, mado up its far as we aro aware, of
nothing hut two soxes, if a woman would not
occasionally ho found at tho Wtom of any
thing good. It latho litjuatlcouf the thing that
that mo angry, Now there nro a hundred of
us poor follow who owo all vn are, all wo have,
and all we hope to hecoino in this world or tho
next, ,to tho uiisclllsli lovo of woman,"
The gentleman's faco was Hushed, and he
poke very warmly mid feelingly, no much so,
that his wifo, rocking her hahy to sleep in tho
father comer of tho room, inquired)
"But why should you caro, John? It has
always lieen so, and always will bo so. Wo
don t think much aliout it now, liccnitso we
nave been taught to expect it."
"Hut you should caro, and yon should fight
lor och other mora than you do. There is
one chapter In my life's history that I have
always kept locked up in my heart, but to
night I feel as if it were my duty to opuii it
for your inspection; and I do it for tho lovo of
woman for tho lovo of woman mado mo all I
am worthy to bo, tho liushaud of a good wo
wan."
"Why John!" wild Mrs, Havilaml, softly
approaching babo stilt held tight to her
bosom "you absolutely frighten me."
"Lot's have tho story," said tho rest of tho
group, certain that something good might bo
anticipated) and John commenced, at lirst a
littlo timid, hut gaining confidence as ho pro
ceeded, " ne.ii I first camo to New York, at the
ago of 12, to seek my fortune, I can call my
self a precocious chap without danger of being
accused of an unusual degrco of self apprecia
tion. I was quick to learn everything, the
bad as well as thu good. My employer used
proline languaio, I picked up the oath that

even myself. The boys in tho oilico alt chew

1 over attempted, but after two weeks of nau
sea and indescribable stomach wrenchings I,
camo off victorious, and could get away with
my paper a-day with tho best of thoui.
"True, every word of It," said tho speaker.
"Ono afternoon I was sent with a hole from
my employer to a house In thu upper part of
the city. I hadn't anything to read, but I had
plenty of tobacco, and with that 1 proposed to
entertain myself during thu two or three hours

In the saiuo low tone.

'"Alt alone, ma'am,'
" I low long has your mother been dead?' and
the dear womaii looked away from my face

" 'Two years,' I answered,
" 'And you loved her?' camo next.
" 'Dearly,' was all I could say,
"Shu was silent for a moment, and then sho
said so sweetly, 'Old I shall never forget it.'

MANAGEMENT OF THE STALLION.
National I.lvo-Ktock Journal.
Tho condition of tho stallion for tho' next
season's business will depend largely upon tho
manner in which ho is kept from nowuntil tho
season commences; In most cases tho period
from tho 1st of October to tho 1st of March is
ono in which the stallion is not called upon to
do duty in tho stud. 'It is a period of rest) of
recuperation from tho drain upon tho func
tions of tho sexual organs which service in tho
stud has required, but it should net ho a sea
son of pampered and overfed indolence, as is
too often the case. When it is conven
ient to do so, tho very best possible treatment
that can Ijo resorted to during this period is to
nut tho stallion at light work. If a draft
horse that has been as they all ouuht to ho
broken to work, lot him Imj driven moder
ately alongsido of a quiet maro or gelding, aid
worked regularly up to tne 1st ot renruaty,
and fid cnouuli grain to keep him strong and
healthy, but not fat. Oats will bo a much
better food for him than corn, but If it is
found that ho is becoming too thin, or if tho
work is comparatively ho ivy, corn may be
used part of tho timu with good results. If
tho stallion is a trotter or n roadster, by nil
means diivo him on tho road. If you can use
him regularly as a business horse, so much
tho better, and, as in the case of tho draft
stallion, feed him enough to keep him strong
and hearty, and work him right along, as
though you Intended that he slum Id cam his
living. This wo aro satisfied from experienco
is tho best treatment for stallions of any
breed, and will result, not ouly in bringing
tho horses to the beginning of tho next season
in Witter condition than any other) but thu
probabilities nro that n horso so treated will
get inoro and better foals than one that is not
worked during this period,
UEAT1NO MILK FOR WINTER SETTING.
National Ufo Mock Journal. '
Heating thu milk of small dairies in Wintci
in very necessary where tho temperature, of
the milk room is much below CO degrees, for
thin liodica of milk will raiso very little cream
with tho temperature at HO degrees or below.
Heating tho milk to 130 or MO dctrccs will
cause nearly all the cream to rise whllo the
temperature of thu milk is fulling. If heated
milk is set six to ten inches deep, in a room at
a temperature of 43 to A0 degrees, it will tako
several hours for the temperature of the milk
to fall 00 decrees, and tho cream will princi
pally rise during this time. Hut hcatiui;
milk in Winter serves other important pur-!
puses. Heating is a purtiying process, ii
drives oil' all had odors or taints it may havo
taken from tho condition of tho fodder or tho
odors of the stable. All dairymen are not
nwaro of thu danger of tainting tho milk, In
Winter, from tho cows standing in an impure
atmosphere, or of eating mouldy fodder, or
from a turnip or cabbage fluvor. It must bu
set, however, after heating, in a pure attnos
phcro It is found also, that tho cream from
heated milk churns much easier in Winter.
Tho cream should ho churned within 24 to .11)
hours after skimming, and should not stand
more than .'10 to M hours before skimming.
Milk is npt to become bitter by long standing
in Winter, It is necessary to keen tho cellar

Curing a Balky Horse.
A correspondent of tho Toronto Olobo
would cure a balkyhorseas follows i "I would
prepare myself with a good strap I want no
whin iierhaps ho has cot a tasto of that
alrcadyi and still he is master, llutsomo tine
day when I was at peaco with myself
and all around, I would hitch him to thu bug
gy, turn his head toward the village. He
goes half tho way very well indeed, he be
ginr to consider that, he has gone far
enough in that direction and stops. I step
down) ho expects mo to usu thu whip. Hu is
mistaken. As a criminal I treat him on thu
silent system. I push him back a littlo out of
tho way. I show him the strap, putting it
up to Ids nose, I go to thu oil' sidu and
buckle it to his oil" fore leg, closo up
to tho breast, throwing tho other end
over his shoulder. 1 then laiao liii
near fore foot and llx it with tho Itoof nearly
touching thu Iwlly. This done, 1 say, 'Now,
old chap, you stand there.' I don't smoke, so
I take a paper from my )ocket, and finding n
place where I can sit down and he see me, I
liegiii to lead. This is something ho did not
bargain for, and thu novelty of standing on
threo legs somewhat diverts him from the
camo that stopped him. I .think this is tho
chief fliut to In) gained and the moat humane.
Ho now shows sign of a wish to go, but that
does not suit at the time, as I yet have to look
over 'John Catdigatc.' When the strap is
taken old show it to him, caress him a littlo
and we move ou without irritation, Iho
strap will now lw a part of the harness for a
month or two, till the sight ot it will act as a

Three or four weeks is the ago at which pigs
always need the most careful attention. At
aliout this period th'o pig reaches a point when
the milk of tho tow is iiotsutticiciittokeepup
a healthy growth, aud uuless the pigt Ivave
been taught to eat Iwforo this time, there will
always be trouble with them. The only way
to avoid it is to teach them to eat and drink
at tho earliest possible age, This may easily
be done by placing a little milk or other palat
able food, in liquid or aeinjdiquid form, in a
trough near them, but where the sow cannot
get at it. lly the time the pig are a week
old they will begiu to taste it, aid then they
will very quickly learn to cat heartily. Oive

CTJRINO HAMS AMD BACON.
National Lite Stock Journal.
The Journal has, on more than ono occasion
called the attention of its readers to the fact
tint in very many cases farmers will find it
more profitablo to kill their fat hogs at homo
and euro tho meat than to sell "on foot" at
prevailing prices. Oo into any of the grocery
and provision stores in tho towns and villages
of Iowa, Mlwouri, Illinois, and other Western
States, and you will find "sugar cured hams"
on salo that havo been bought in Chicago or
St. Louis. Perhaps tho very ham that a
country merchant in Iowa sold to his customer
in July last, was cut from a hog that tliiiaama
customer sold, eight months before, to be
shipped to Chicago. It has served the rail
road companies a good purpose, for they car
ried this nog 300 miles to Chicago, for which
they were paid, and they brought the ham
back an equal distance, for which they vero
also paid. It has served tho dealers a good
purpose, for the Iowa buyer, tho commission
man at Chicago, tho curing establishment,
and, last, tho country grocer who sells the
ham to tho man that raised tho hog-, havo all
had n commission out of it.
This is simply a wasteful, foolish practice.
Every country village ought to get its supply of
hams and bacon from tho neighboring tarms,
and farmers themselves ouvht never to havo
to buy supplies of this nature; such a practice
always shows a lack of that economical and
intelligent inauagcmojit which is essential to
success in any business, Tho curing of hams
and nacou is a slmplo process and Is well
understood by most of our readers. Tho ham
should be trimmed pretty closely, so that
mere snail lie no large, loose masses ot tat
lying In flabby lolda at its lower extremity)
for to leave this on, is simply to have so much
lard wasted, J ho sides may ho cut in any
desired shape for convenience in packing! mid
they should always bo raited away in a sepa
rate vessel from tho hams, shoulders, mid
other parts containing bones. Speaking irotn
our own experience, wo would say that the
hams havo a decidedly better flavor, and tho
meat retains a inoro natural color, when noth
ing but plain salt is used in tho curing. If
the work of salting is carefully attended to,
tho hams, when cured with salt alone, will ho
ready for smoking at from six weeks to two
months, owing to tho sizo of tho hams. Thu
saltpetre has a tendency to harden and redden
the meat, ami for our own table wo would
never tiso it. It undoubtedly accelerates tho
curing process, hut it docs so at tho expense
of the flavor.
The Value of Breeding Animals.
Indeed, to a man who is breeding pure bred
stock of nny kind, it is imposiihtu to mcaiure
tho value- of a singlo animal Introduced Into
tho herd. A singlo mistako may cost him
thousands of dollars, and carry him back
ward to such an extent that years cannot re
gain thu lost ground. On tho other hand, a
fortunate selection a lucky lilt may add
enormously to tho valuo of ail the produce for
lor many generations, it might lo asserted
that 8100 was nil enormous price for a pig six
years old, and that no pig ever lived which at
?.. ' ......V .. ...
that ago was intrinsicalh
that ago was Intrinsically worth onu-hail ol
tliis amount, and wo niiulit not ciuatrel with
him if wo could agrco upon a itellnition of
terms; In', tho writer once paid 8100 for a pig
less than six months old that was intrinsically
worth to him, as wo understand the term,
more than ten times as much as any other pig
oyer purchased at any price Wo might carry
our illustration further by relating thu v:
nerienca cf many others in tho mirchaao n
breeding stock of all kinds, from horses down
to pigs; but tho point is obvious. No arbi
trary standaid of vnluo can bo placed on
breeding st6ck and each breeder should be
permitted to judgo for himself what he can
afford to pay for animals with which to found
a herd or flock, or to effect improvement in
herds already founded. National Live Stock

A Sea Captaln'f Noble Wife.
In October, 1677, tho brigantiiio Moorcburg
left roochoo, lu China, for Mvlliourne, carry
im four seamen, tho captain, mate, and last,
but by no means least, tho captain's wife, who
was a little, delicato woman, and the baby.
They had not gono far on their voyago ere
the crow fell sick, ami ono after another die'd.
The mate did not succumb entirely, but be
came reduovl to a skeleton, anil was incapa
ble of doing much, while the captain himself
was almost' in as miaerablo a plight, his lege
having swollen tremendously and his body bu
a maaa of sores. III wifo alone held up under
the terrible heat, although sho had mused tho
sick till they had needed nursing mi longer,
had looked well to her baby's needs, had dono
duty at thu wheel in regular watches, and
taken her share of seaman's work besides.
To mako matters wurso thu ship sprung a
leak, which tho captain luekly was alio to
stop) and eventually tho .Moorcburg got into
llriabane harbor, half full of water, with two
sick men ou lioanl as hcrci-ow, all told, and a
woman at tho hsiin, tho gallant woman bring

TllK agricultural department at Washing
ton is now discovering that tho foot and mouth
disease or apthnus fever prevails among the
sheep ot tho country over nearly our whole
area, the llntiah veterinarians having charged
that a can-o of sheep from lloston were in
fected with it. Tho department at Washing
ton says thu disease is a contagious eruptive
fever, communicable to other cloven-footed
animals nud to man, and eaaily transmitted
by milk, fodder, drinking-troiighs, and other
points of contact. It is not dilllcult to extir
pate it, and It often runs in heids for some
time More its presence is susicctcd. It is
evident that tho agricultural department has
an abundant held fur its energies in keeping
our farmers posted as to tho diseases which
unlit their meat product for consumption
abroad, Wo observe that Dr. Lyman's re
luctant conclusion as .to thu prevailcnce of dis
ease among American cattle was quoted tho
other day in Parliament by her majesty's
minister in defense of tho policy of rest no

Almost every person who comes in from the
Hliio mountains, says the Walla Walla States
man, brings tho news of the depredations com
mitted by the bears raiding on cattle and
hogs. For the past three year they have not
beeihuutcd by tho IuJian and are now be
coming more numerous. It is astonishing how
wild gamu increases wheu not molested for a
few years. Wo hear of some parties ioiug
out to try their hand at ridding the country
of a few ot them. Krom our experienco in thu
mountains wo would say tliat they had better
lw in a hurry' about it as about the middle of
this mouth they seek their winter quarter.
Deer are very numerous and at this season in
prime condition. Occasionally can be seeu
along our street an Indian w ith saliuou which
they hold at very high price. There is a fall
run ot a small specie at this time, but they
are not considered as a delicacy. Occasionally
thu silver aalmouis wet ith which is a real
treat.
A Deavon Lane.
Who that has ever walked through a gen
uine Knglish lano forgets its charm? About
our moorland villago we found every variety,
and studied the Devonshire verdure and blos
som in many aspects. The roadways are
generally narrow) a firm foot and wagon pat!;
with closo hedgo rows, diversified by brain,
bio, holly, woodbine, honeysuckle nud clc
matis. Sometimes tin tinglo of greenery
hangs nbovo a rugged atono wall or earthen
embankment! sometimes tall trees break the
line, and awny across the road with feathery
branches through which tho sunshine filters
lowly) sometimes tho banks are all delicately
fringed with maiden hair and ferns, tho long
fern and the bioad leafed in rich profusion,
with hero and there the color of some dainty
wild flower. In the spring time wo saw these
hedges starred with primroses, and the lower
edges plentifully colored with lentcn lilies ami
crocuses, and the lxild "dali'udowndilivs"
which flourish like gay niati'cns In the' heart
of the west of Knglanil country. In the later
Summer, when wo went down to tho moors,
all tho liohl glory had vanished) hut there
wcro still ticli bfos-oms IoxkIovo with steins
of purpto bells, bluo flowers, narcissus tint
lays its pure paiu piossoms so somy
against tho ferns, the gleam of sweet robin
here and there, dandelion, and a tiny white
flower that rests ou tho liosom of tho hedges,
ami oven of tho moors, in spito of nil tin
ficrco winds that sweep across thu femes ami
heather, and finally, best of all tho intense
ulow of tho scarlet nonnv in fields and load-
side, blazing liko live coals in tho deep,
cool verdure. llchind all this, far back
against tho horizon, lay tho rich, dark color
ing of tho moor, which cannot bo written
down, or oven, I think, dono juiticc to in
painting; it formed tho background for our
littlo vilago, its varied shades toning tin
perspective wtili so rich mid dark a beauty
that all paler bloom seemed faded and lustre
less in comparison.
Our Littleness In tha Universe.
Astronomers say that this world of ours,
which seems so large, is lu fact to small in
comparison with tho sun and stars, that it
presence or absence is, to tho universe, n
matter of inconceivably small importance ;
and that, even in its own system, it would
hardly be noticed by an oyo capablo of taking
in at ono view tho sun and Its attendant
planets. Sir John.Hcrschcl gives tho follow
lug illustration of tho size nud diatunco ol
theso IkxIIcs; Choose, ho says, any well level
ed field. On it placo a globe two feet in di
ameter) this will represent tho sun; .Merrur.v
will bo represented by a grain of mustard
seed ou the circumfcrcnco of a circle 104 feet
in diameter for Its orbit) Venus, a pea in a
circle of 'J8-1 foct in diameter) tho enrth, also
n pea ou a circlo of 430 feet; Mars, a rathei
largo pin's head in n circlo of (Kit feet; Jtipi-te-,
n moderate sized orange in n circle ncarl)
half n milo across ) Saturn, n smaller ornugi
on n circle of four-fifths of n mile! Uranus, a
full sired cherry upon the circumference of n
ciicle more then a mile and a half; and Nep
tune, a good sized plum on a circle, two nnd
a half miles in diameter," If our earth were
struck out of existence, it would hardly bu
uu'mci! from such n system. Hut this is far
from the vxticmo measure of our littleness.
Tho evening sky is Muddtil with stais, Be

then setting out to visit our neighbors, if we

11.000 miles. Had wo directed our stuns t
