Corn Whiskey at 1.40 a, gallon which is sold elsewhere for 61.50. You Must Give Me A Calls, J. H. WELLS, Proprietor. (John Mohan's old stand.) It is bad practice to lands at all in our climate, and although there is a strong temptation to do it where pastures are short, the prudent farmer will resort to almost auy shift to keep his cattle in condition and the flow of milk good, rather than pasture the mowing fields. In the first place the .sod becomes trampled by the cattle to its injury, then weeds have a good chance to grow and thrive, and the grass is apt to be hurt in consequence of being cropped too closely in dry weather or left without sufficient protection to the roots in winter. It is far better practice to let the mow ing lands grow a second crop, and make it into hay, than to attempt pasturing after cutting the first crop. Many farmers are now in the habit of feeding cows in the barn when the pas tures are short, using ensilage, or green, freshly cut corn, clover or any other fodder that may be in season; this is far better than to turn the cattle into the mowing fields. Massachusetts Plowman. ler will usually hold enough snow over die surface to keep the ground from freez ing very deeply, and with this protection they may prove hardy, while an equal ;old without the snow would show the janes dead in the spring. No matter how small the village, there ire probably some men in it who keep i horses or cows, and do not have any use "or manure. It can often be bought by lear-by farmers at cheaper rates than hey can make manure in their own barn ,srds. Manure in large cities is mostly gobbled up by market gardeners,who iften pay much more than farmers can afford; but the country village supplies can be fairly claimed by fanners who live in the neighborhood. HOUSEHOLD HINTS.. Do not use damp towels about the sick. J. M. HOWELL, PRACTICAL Boot and Shoe Maker, ITU 30 YEARS EJN CE 1 EX PERI - DAIKV HINTS. Professor L. R. Arnold once said that aa cow going into a stable filled with the odor of the solid and liquid excre ments will carry it into her milk in fif teen minutes." For this reason he in sists that stables should be ventilated in such a way that pure air will come to the cattle from the front. True, andi this is one of the reasons why a cow barn should have a wide barn floor through the centre ; why the cows should stand with their heads toward the centre, and j have wide space behind them, with large grated and wire-screened windows be hind them and wide stable doors at both ends of the stable, and big barn doors at both ends of the centre floor. This irrangement of stables and floors, aided by plaster dusted upon the well-cleaned stable floors, will make a suitable habi tation for a clean cow to dwell in. The albuminoids in wrhey are as one to 3.5 in skim milk, while the other solids ire nearly the same in both. Chemists, in comparing the feeding value, make that of whey at eleven cents to twenty three cents for skim milk, or about half as much per 100 pounds. There is a great need that a large pro portion of the yearly milk supply should be diverted from a summer to a winter flow. Butter is unreasonably cheap in Hot food and drink for the sick should be hot not lukewarm. Washing the face in hot water, espe cially just before going to bed, is good for the skin. No receptacle for milk should ever be Zfat out before being thoroughly scalded and cleaned. Let clean clothing for a patient be thoroughly aired and warmed at the fire Ju.t before putting it on. The rooms of fever patients may . be well ventilated with less fear of their tak ing cold than in other diseases.

Advices from New Guinea state that Sir William McGregor, the Governor, has recently completed the exploration oi hitherto unknown portions of the island. He made a successful ascent of the high est peak of the Mount Owen Stanley range, named Mount Victoria, which at tains an altitude of 13,121 fet. The climate was perfect, th weathei at an altitude of about 8000 feet being clear and cold. On the summit daisies, buttercups, forget-me-nots, grasses and heaths were growing tnd larks were seen. Icicles and white ' frosts were met with. No natives were seen above an altitude I take great pleasure in announcing to my friends and patrons that rny MAMMOTH STORE is now FULL AND RUNNING OVER with the largest and most varied assortment of RICH AID BEAUSFUL GOODS OF EVERY GRADE I EVER HAVE HAD, I have been in the Northern Markets for over six weeks selecting such goods as I knew would please my customers, and now as my shelves are loaded down with all the novelties of the season I propose to make things lively. I SHALL HAKE DRY; GOODS TtTMBLE, And the Prices Down to Almost Nothing. , It is a fact which cannot bo disputed, that I can save $T6u at least 25 per Cent, on all your purchases you have to make. You all know that when a man" buys' bis -goods from the Manufacturers' and pays tho hard cash down, he is able to undersell all others who are buying their goods on "tick."

Hence there is but little profit gained from the cow. It is also un reasonably dear in winter, because so few cows are made to calve in the fall. There needs to be a better balancing up of the yearly milk supply, so that less milk should be produced in summer and more in winter. This would equalize the prices for the whole year, greatly in crease the consumption in the winter, and in the end bring great profit to the dairymen. It is well to remember that it costs only about ten per cent, more to keep a cow in good milking condition than it does to keep her dry, as she ought to be kept, while the returns from winter milk are fully thirty per cent, more than from summer milk.

To mate a breeding mare to a horse whote only point is his own excellence only injures disappointment. If the male is pure ored it will probably mark the colt, both fn action, size and color. The Great Bear Iliver Canal is to be me of the grandest irrigation projects in merica. Two million dollars have been provided for its construction. This canal will irrigate 200,000 acres in Salt Lake valley and 0,000,000 ou Bear River, in- j creaing the value of the laud to C0 per acre, while fencing, bunding and tillage will double this valuation in a few years. A good average dairy cow ought to ilive at least four thousand pounds of oailk in a year, which should return the farmer, whether sold or made into butter and cheese, at least a cent a pommel, so that such cows ought to bring in at least forty dollars a year per head. This is che calculation of Hon. Josiah Shull, Secretary of the Xew York State Dairy -iien's Association. A clo?e fence around a berry patch mould be avoided where much snow pre vails. A heavy bank of snow smothers strawberries and breaks down the canes jf raspberries and blackberries, Jhe lat- traversed by the party was very mount ainous. No table land was discovered. The geological formation of the country is mainly decomposed slate and quartz. There was no sign of gold specimens. Natives were met on two occasions. They were extremely friendly, but supersti tious. They were stout, well built men, with short legs. Women were never seen. Cultivation paddocks -were feneec in and sweet potatoes, yams and sugai cane were plentiful. Tobacco was alsc frown. The natives had no warlike im plements. Particular attention was paid to head dresses, which were made of shells pro cured from the eastern coast of German New Guinea, showing that there wa? friendly communication across the Owes Stanley range. Sir William "McGregor collected man specimens of new plants, among othert some beautiful yellow rhododendrons, att of which have been forwarded to Barot Von 3Iueiter for report, and a great num ber of new grasses, large patches of whicl: were discovered on Mount Victoria. Mr. Goodwin, naturalist, secured speci mens of several new birds. An animal was seen something like a native bear, but with a long tail. Its color was a, dusty brown black. In the extremities it had five claws and its tail wa bushy. Its esti mated weight was sixty ponnds. The birds in the lower altitudes wer the same as those before seen except th new paradise bird, similar to the grea epinachus. They procured a femalt Astrachia Stephania, the only bird ol that species being in the museum at Ber lin. Among the birds are some identi cal with the English hark. Unfortunate ly they were eaten by one of the Polyne sians. A few entomological specimens were obtained, among which were milk white butterflies. Many were seen, but only a few were captured.
