Much valuable work may be done in winte® and hy a proper and judicious division of furm duties the hurried labor of spring may be somewhat avoided, One great source of loss in winter is allowing the shocks of corn to vemain in the fields to be in- jured by the weather, as well as afford- ing harboring places for mice and ver- min, instead of hauling the same to the barn, there to remove the ears of corn, and husking them under shelter, by which means the fodder will be brighter and better, while every portion of the stalk may be conveniently made of some value, The straw stacks. should also be carvied to the barn; there, along with the cornstalks, ~ pa through the fodder cutter, to he reduc into very short lengths, and either fed to stoek ‘or used as bedding, This may cost something for labor, but when it is considered that unemployed help costs as much as that which can be put to ice, the real value of the labor is vy little. Every ounce of food saved by preparation is a_clear gain, and the winter work in that respect is bui a eontinuation of that left over from the fall. The manure heap is another wint on, as it is the most im- portant material on the farm. No mat- ter how cold the weather may be, there ach J. Hinman and H. M.

The Lincoln Paint and Color company that located in Lincoin the present year have & savy stock and business in running order, men on the read. The board of trade gave the firm 25,000 for locating here. One of the present 'managers of the West Lincoln packing house, known as No. 1, is in coming from Chicago. The gentle- s himself well pleased with the plant but would like to see 'hogs comigg in faster, it being unpossible thus far to sccure the number desired for work. With the increased local business and real actions in West Lincoln, are other noticable improvements, the principal of which are the erection of two new business blocks that will be completed ut the earliest possible day. The words of General McBride at the board of trade meoting in regard to the half million beet sugar plant, are attracting much attention and it looks a8 though the project would be backed with a will. e e L Feminine Humbugs. New York Sun: Humbug is indeed an auvdacious and successful element in New York life. A westerner came here to get the furniture and fistings for a new house. With the oft-mistaken thrift of her sox, she made up her mind to take ndvantage of some city sister’s mis- fortune and buy her belongings “at a ifice.” To that end she read th vertisement, and soon found that sac fices in New York were about as fre- quent as they were in the ys of Jacob and Isanc. She spent three days in- specting them, aund finally concluded to take o load of traps of a family going to Lurope, and a piano from a young woman who was forced by cruel eircum- stances to sell at one-third the ori cost, including & box for shipping,a stool, and a cover. The western specu- lator told her intentions to a New York fricnd. who accompanied her on a tour of inspection. They went first to the flat. The junitor undoubtedly had an in- terest in the game, for he lained how sorry he was that Mrs. Morris must sell her nice things, as she was such a good tenant. The callers went upstairs to the sccond flat, and asked to sce the oceupants. “Tam about purchasing Mrs. Morr things below,” said she: **Can you giv ) me any idea how long ‘they have becn used?’ *‘She hasn't sold since last week Thursda, said a vinegar-visaged wo- man. *It's about time she caught another vietim. I'm leaving this house on her account. What with ting in things and carting out things, there's no ‘nuncc on the premises. She must a sold out once a week ever since she's been here. It's all she does. butit's a paying business.” 5 [he western lady was disenchanted, but she still clung to the.piano scheme, and the New Yorker heard the tale. Miss Ellis and hor father had struggled together for years till he was partinlly insane, There was only one hope—to talie him to his native Scotland, where he might recover. For that reason the young lady was selling her dearlo be- oved piano, and for just the price of their passage across the Atlantic, When the two women reached Miss Ellis" neat apartments, the westcrn wo- man sat in the shade of the window curtains, while her New York friend did the talking. Ior what reason do you part with so 1 instrument at so_great a sacri asked the New Yorker of Miss who in deep mourning described > pinnos’ perfections. ‘It’s u long, sad story,” said she, with her handkerchief to her ey 1 have just lost my father and I can't live ulone bere.

Farming isan 1 year round business, and permits of no idle time, if rightly managed, asit includes the growing of erops during favorable seasons, to be manufactured on the farm into milk, butter and meat during the periods when but little can be done in other respects, for winter can really be made a busy season if the farmer shall so desir Scientific Farmers. The intelligent farmer, who gives thouglts to his business, finds his mind occupied with matters belonging to the year just closing, while he also looks forward to the season rapidly approach- ing.

A strong colony need notbeas well sheltered as a weaker one. Care should be taken that the bees are well snpplied” with honey or sirup sufficient to satisfy them until work shall begin. Sheep that are kept on the old pasture fields should be driven to the barny: before a storm, as dampne: It is almost impossible for sheep to a sufficiency of food when the snow ison the ground, and they suffer from lack of shelter in the fields. Yet there are many farmers who turn the sheep out to support themselves, and such a system is one that always leads to loss. There is no benefit in keeping too much stock. Runts, stunted animals, or those that seem to eat all they can get without gaining in size, should be got rid of. Many losses occur from keeping. unprofitable stoce on hand too lon animal that does not show the effe good treatment in a few weeks will be no better in as many months Wethers should not be sent to market until very fat, as no carcass shows to better effect on the stalls when fat than that of the sheep, while the increase in the price for quality will often repay the cost of keeping the sheep. Good wethers find ready saie at all seasons, but there are large numbers of inferior ones shipped to the cities. It is not safe to apply unleached wood ashes around the base of very young treos. Ashes give better results when spread broadegst over the surface of the ground around the trees. Cases are known in which young peach trecshave been injured by the application of wood ashes thickly uround and close to the trunks.

You can make friends of all your animals if you take the trouble to do so, and if you should ever feel lonely you can banish this feeling by going among your beasts, . S.

When the farmer begins to estimate the value of sheep from the standpoints of meat, fertility and general advan- tage to the farm, he will not allow the market price of wool to determine whether or not he will raise them. 1t is the opinion of the most experi- enced pig-growers that small fens in sufficient number to accommodate the herd, ave preferable to one large one. Even the yards they run in should be small, with u limited number of pigs in each. The weighing of the milk, testing of the cows, and knowing to a dollar what one is doing, is o great help to the dairy farmer. It enables him to get rid of poor milkers and replace them with good ones, and the lattér cost no more ta keep or handle than the former. A French breeder says that by put- ting his rams in_the prime of life to old ewes in the decline of life he never failed to get a large proportion of n lambs. When he coupled ewes in the prime and vigor of life with ram lunbs pefore they were matured he got a large proportion of ewe lambs. Kerosene is of great help in the proper care of poultry.

Believing she would not recov hie went to his house and procured a knife with the purpose of putting an end to her.

At Close uarters With a Rocky Mfountain Lion. David W. Judel, writing in the Amer- can Agriculturist for November, says! With well-bitted horses, a complete out- fit, and “*Uncle” Pierson as guide, we left Laramie City, Wyo. Ter., on a bright July afternoon for the game parks of Colorndo and Utah. “Tim” “oloy, one of the original proprietors of the California guleh (Leadville), and, consequently, now possessing uutold wealth, had come from his remote Green River cattle ranch to join us_on this hunt. Auditor Weston, of Ne- braska, brought with him his son Ralph, to indulge in some general frontierism” before entering college life. The writer, following months(of close tugging at the American Agricul- turist’s column was full of the zest and buoyancy which these far western teips invariably impart. Through the peculiar huazy atmos- shere of the plains, Sheep mountain ooked distant only a half hour's drive. But it was twilight before we encamped atits base, and we had traveled be- tween twenty and thirty miles. The hindquarters of two jack rabbits graced our spit that night, and what with good appetites and a free use of salt and pe per, our hungry stomachs were readily able to oyercome the chavacteristic toughness and tension of these jacks. We were glad enough to get them be- fore our expedition ended. Before sun- rise the next morning we had ] camp and were on the mote, and all day long we broke the stillness with fre- quent discharges of our Wincheste and Sharps rifles at the distant antel- ope. Just at dusk we drew up at Pinkham’s ranch, in North Park, and were glad enough to avail ourselves of the hospi talities there extended us. Everyone slv*) soundly that night, the couches, rude as they were, being a decided improvement over the bare ground of the night before. At daybreak we were again under way, and soon our first antelope was brought down., Later on in the day we encountered these creatures in_lirge droves, and appar- ently never before having seen a human being, they manifested no little curios- ity, frequéntly waiting until we were right among them before starting, and then retreating only o short distance to stop and observe our movements. We could have shot them as readily then as sheep in a barnfold. A few miles fur- ther southward, and we were in the very heart ot a game regjon. Elk, decr, antelope, wild geese and ducks, sage hens and mountain grouse were seen day after day, untit we were fairly surfeited with shooting, and for a change devoted ourselves to sight- seeing. One August afternoon we made tho ascent of Helen’s mountain, in the range forming:the boundary of North Park, Colorado, to catch a view of the superb sweep beyond. It was a long and wearisome climb, but the magnif cent v s stretching far away in every direction richly repaid us. Far below lay the beautiful Estes park, and ex- tending far us the eye could reach ap- peared peal after peak, anany of them covered with snow here in Julyr Nestled beneath us several hundred feet wus u minature lake covered with ice, which did not yield to the stones hurled upon its surface. After feasting our vision for some hours we began the descent, which was vegy difficult, inasmuch as falling rain froze as it fell I took my cartridges from my Winchester, foaring lest I might slivand discharge them. When half way down the mountain, we reached small plateau in the center of which was ‘a clump of cotton- wood trees, Ralph was perhaps three rods ahead, and Foly fiftcen paces.
