These pests inay be easily got rid of in this way: Make cartridges of common gunpowder, with paper rolled into tubes, and pasted; load each with two ounces of blasting powder, and tit the fuse long enough to reach as far down the burrow as may be. Fill the holes with earth and fire the fuse, of course, getting out of the way of the explosion. A dog to watch, lest the animal may get away, which is not likely, would be convenient to have around. Xeto York Times . PROFIT FRO II THE DAIRY. Piot'essor Wood, of Starr's Station, Conn., says: "Nearly one-fourth of the lairy cows are kept at a loss, while one .hird are kept without profit. This makes oue-third of the money invested .lead capital. In winter, with the best :ows and good feeding, about two-thirds ji the food is consumed iu supporting life. The profit comes from the other third. Breed is important in a cow, but is not everything. With good feeding a slight profit is received. Add one eighth more aud the profit is doubled. Judicious feeding does not shorten the life of a cow. Give u variety of food. Legumiuou foods, as peas, clover, eto, not only benefit cattle but the laud." FATTENING CALVES. In raisiug calves for veal the sooner the young animals are fatted and sufficiently matured for the purpose the more profit there will be iu it. This will be accomplished by the natural process of drawing the milk from the mother sooner than by artificial feeJing, and calves that are allowed to suck their dams will be preierred by the butcher. As a matter of profit to the dairymen the milk will be of more value thau the calf, but to a farmer who has plenty of milk and a poor market for it it may be uife different. In this case it is simply a question of the best way to fatten the calf. If nsarly all the milk of the cow is required, then remove the calf as soou us he has enough and strip the cow clean at once. Where half of the milk will be sutricient the first half will be the least fattening, aud it will be a question for the owner to decide whether the calf shall have the first or the last. It should, however, be remembered that there is. nothing to be gained by limiting the milk ration of a calt that is being fattened for veal or iu attempting to fatten him on skim milk. Keto York World. AI30UT HORSE BREEDING. A n:an who breeds a vicious, diseased, worthless or brokendown mare does a wrong to both human and equine race, declares Charles II. Craudall. In like degree, whoever refuses to let a fine mare perpetuate her kind also cheats human-' kind and horse-kind of their due. Every line mare should be allowed to raise several colts. Shu will be just as useful, in the long run, and live as long. Breed for a purpose. The heavy draught horse is well enough in front of a heavy dray,: but the horse is the all-round horse. Let him weigh 950 to 1200, have suffi cient style for a carriage-horse, muscle and bone enough for plowing and haul ing, and the spirit and action to trot a mile inside four or five minutes. For Northern climates select Northern-bred stock. The horses of Canada. Vermont and northern New York, with an infusion of the old Morgan aud Hambletonian blood, cannot be excelled for all-round horses. See that size, symmetry, spirit, action and intelligence are combined. Do not place hwpes in troiiers. Slim is the chance, with the best stallions and the finest of mares, or getting a colt that wilt trot under 2:30, and unless a colt trots under 2 :30 he will not briug a big price. New York Tribune. OIL MEAL FOR IIOOS. One of the best rations that can be made up for growing pigs is fifty per cent, middlings, twenty -five per cent, corn meal, fifteen per cent, wheat brau and 10 per cent, oil meal. A brood sow, especially one that has farrowed, needs a ration that will aid her to furnish a large supply of milk. AVhen this is the case a laiger quantity both of oil meal and bran should be used, lessening the quantity of corn meal and middlings. At this season with stock of all kinds it is quite an item to furnish a good va riety. Generally stock of all kinds have been fed a long time on dry feed, and it is necessary to furnish as good a ration as possible. With the brood sows, es pecially, good care must be taken to feed well. In fact, after farrowing it is hard to feed the sow too much. The better the sow is fed the better the growth aud thrift of the pigs. One of the best materials to uss at this time is oil meal. It should be used iu connec tion with bran, middlings, corn meal, ground oats or some other ground feed. Oil meal is rich more so than corn meal or any of the ether materials. It can be fed dry, thoroughly mixed with other materials, in t ight troughs to avoid waste. The better plan, however, ot feeding is to mix well and make into a slop with skim milk, or at least to soak it until soft. The ob jections to feeding it dry is that much of the ground feed will not be thoroughly masticated and, therefore, will not be digested or assim ilated, and this implies more or less waste of food. To fatten hogs, oil meal can be used to good advantage with corn. While corn is one of the very best foods that can be supplied to fattening hogs, better re sults can be secured by using some thing else with it, and oil meal, being richer and fully as good for fattening, can be used to good advantage at this time. Hogs kept in good condition during the winter can be fattened rapidly by having the iun of a clover pasture "and fed liberally on corn and oil meal. t. Louis Republic. HIEEP. Some years ago I used to be much in terested in sheep, writes V. P. Rich mond, an Illinois expert, and although I have given up the farm and the care of stock, yet I still feel a desire now and then to" write a few vords in the interest of farmers. Nothing ot the same value pays a better profit to the farm than sheep. Pastures will carry more stock with sheep than without. Weeds do not grow well within reach of sheep, and of course the fewer weeds in a pasture the better the glass can grow. It is not un usual to see thin cattle aud horses in weedy pastures. Put in sheep enough in the same pastures to take care of the weeds, and stock, having better grass, will improve. This is the conclusion come to with more than titty years' ex perience. It will pay to keep good sheep, according to the amount of pas ture, on any farm in Illinois. Poor sheep or too many of them, with the low prices for wool and mutton, are not profitable anywhere. There are not many farms in Illinois where sheep as a specialty can be carried with great profit, because too many of them cannot earn their keep as scavengers, and every farm should have sheep. With a few sheep oa the farm ail the wool and increase sold is clear profit, for a few sheep arn more than their board as weed exterminators. A woid as to breeds will be in order. It don't matter much what breed so they are not all breeds mixed. The Merinos are the hardiest; the black faces next. First of the black faces are the South downs, but they do not yield so much wool or mutton. Stock-yard sheep are not the kind for a farmer to handle. If they are not diseased they come from where contagion is liable, and a diseased sheep is a curse to his owner and all his neighbors. Scab and ticks can be kept from a fiock by the free use of sulphur and salt. 1 have used sulphur all kinds of weather and have never known of any bad effects even when cold and strong weather followed the use of it. It is best to feed in small quantities with salt. Now is a good time to use sulphur. Prairie Farmer. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Game chickens are of little if any use to farmers. Two or three geese to one gander is about right. Swelled eyes, with running at nostrils, indicates roup. Crop-bound is often caused by lack of gritty material. .Sore on top of the head may generally be traced to lice. Corn-and-cob meal makes a good feed for young goslings. Manage to make a change of grain diet at least once a week. Sloppy feed should never be given to very young chickeus. Removing the animal to warm, dry quarters will help any disease. Iu commencing to keep ducks many make the mistake of keeping too many. Wheat can be fed to chickens very profitably as soon as they are able to eat it. With fowls, as a rule, the better plan is to feed first and then water after wards. It is often best to allow a fat hen to sit, as getting reduced in flesh will make her lay better. A good preventive of gipes is to spade up the ground and sprinkle air-slaked lime over it. Geese, turkeys aud guineas need plenty of range, and will not thrive if they are kept confined. Ducks should always have water con venient when they are eating or their nostrils will get clogged. A little care in feeding the turkey hens and keeping them tarn.? will often save considerable loss of eggs. Turkeys need plenty of drink. It should be pure water or sweet milk, but the supply should be liberal. Make a hole in the large end of an egg and let the yolk run out and then fill with plasterof Paris. This makes a good nest egg. Sore eyes is sometimes a complain with young chicks, and arises from colds. A drop of glycerine rubbed on the eye is the best remedy. Never feed chicks for the first twenty four hours after they are hatched, the remnant of the egg continuing to furnish nourishment for that length of time. In selling fat wethers each one must decide for himself whether the money is in shearing or selling unshorn. "We know flock-masters who hold there is just as much money iu selling with the wool on. To produce the best sitting heu, one that will remain on the nest, hatch well and tenderly care for chicks, cross a vigorous Pit Game cock with Partridge Cochin hens. It also produces a good table fowl. In selecting mares for the season's breeding, get those that are souud, healthy and vigorous, of good form, size and disposition, then breed them to a vigorous, thrifty stallion of some of the better breeds. Variety is the spice of life. Bread is good; so is water; but not as a steady diet. So do not confine the fowls to bread and wafer. It is good for every family to have a 4 'boiled disk" sometimes'. Why not for fowls? Compacting the soil of A new-seeded wneat-neta by trampling hoofs is an old and common practice in England, and sheep are preferred for the work. As almost every farmer there keens a fiock, they are alwoys conveniently 4 at hand. It is a much better way than rolling, be cause it compacts more, while still leav ing the surface open and broken and less liable to pack under heavy ram into an air-tight crust. Re very careful, iu crossing chickens, -o do it correctly. Do not waste time in tue attempt to better your fiock by chang ing eggs for some nondescript stock that has no merit nor possesses any advantage, f.; improve a hock, m- sho-ild know the kind or stock in- is using, WUat c.ui by expected from it. Thy ciuu"in' of ec-rrs is a nractice usually pursued by those who do not know the value of tb breeds, and such persons should not be encouraged. . Horse-stable floors should be made tight and level. Absorbent beddings and thorough cleaning will remove any objection to odor which cannot be got rid of in slatted floors. Sand, sawdust and ground plaster are excellent cleansers of the stable. A horse with tender feet or ankles suffer from standing on slop ing floors. A horse, from a sprained stifle or hock, or bruised knee, is kept in perpetual torment by sloping flours. Knuckled horses owe much of their ail ment to sloping floors. SELECT aiFTIMJS. Chicago has Chinese bakeries. Ithaca, Wis., breeds St. Bernard dogs.

The poundmaster of Oakland, Cal., sold for $12 at au estray auction an un claimed horse. The animal was subse quently identified as a $40UL) thorough bred trotter.

In certain parts of Africa crickets are said to constitute an artitle of commerce. People rear them, feed them iu confine ment aud sell them. The natives are very fond of their music, thinking that it induces sleep. Superstitions regard ing the cricket's chirp are very varied. .Some believe that it is ominous of sorrow and evil, while others consider it to bo a harbinger of joy. The fate of Lizzie Bond, of Anderson, Ind., shows that a woman is not safe even after she has stepped on one side of the track and permitted a train of ears to pass her. Miss Bond stepped olf the track, but the suction of the train that thundered past her drew her dress undei the rear car, which, catching upoa a:i iron bar, dragged her fifty yards or more, dashing her brains out upon the cross ties. WISE WORDS. Sometimes the weakest doubt shatters the strongest faith. The less sense a fool has the more sense it takes to manage him. The happiness of love is in action; its test is what one is willing to do for others. People generally despise where they flatter, aud cringe to those they would overtop. If idleness does not produce vice or malevolence, it commonly produces mel ancholy. Strange how much more pride a man takes in having lived long than in hav ing lived well! There is a sixth sense; it is the sense to let well enough alone and was given only to woman. The vulgar rejoice in th? vices of the great. Here at least they have some thing in common. When one is tempted to give up all for love, it is wise to retain a remnant for him to live upon. The fewer secrets a girl has when s-Ae is young, the fewer wrinkles she will have when she is old. Some women's faces are, in their brightness, a prophecy, and some, in their sadness, a history. If it showed every time a man was bored, what a perforated-looking thing the average man would be ! It is not looking others squarely in the face that proves a man's courage; it is the strength to look himself in the face. The exactions of selfish peone have a single merit ; they prevent tha cultiva tion of a similar vice in other people around them. Time is indeed the theatre and seat of illusions; nothing is so ductile. The mind stretches an hour to a century, and dwarfs an age to an hour. Carlyle, in a letter written to a yous" maa who had asked counsel of him said: "Be wise, be steadfast, modest, diligent; you will infallibly arrive at something good aud if it be a quiet thing instead of a noisy, think Yourself the luckier.

A Wail of Distress From New Hamp shire. The Green Mountain State Is Visit ed by "Sockless Jerry" Simp son, Who Preaches Alli ance Doctrines. Mancaester, N. H.. Special. Th Weekly Budget says' Hon. Jerry Simp son, of Kansas, visited our State las week. Precious little welcome did In get from the newspapers of the State The message that he bore was not suited to their tastes. But he set the people to thinking; and scores of those who heard him went away saying under tlieir breath. "Jerry is right. The past week has seen events that confirmed those people iu their belief. The Supreme Court of New Hampshire, responding to the queries of the Legislature, has issued the dictum, almost in so many words, that the railroads have succeeded in defraud ing the State of its interest in the Con cord railroad. The Legislature of lSSii, as was generally understood, contemplat ed no such result. Not an advocate of those bills by which railroad consolida tion, stock watering to large amounts, and a revival of old and dead stock were permitted, ever dared to suggest that the people were surrendering any rights they possessed in passing the act of 13M1. But the court has said that they did it. That right which so sagacious a man as Austin Corbin was ready to pay $.00.000 for it iu and which he considered worth f 1000.000, this year the court in i Met t declares has been waived, given away, utterly lost. And how? With at; understanding of what was being done? No! But through subterfuge and chica nary. The act of pretended to se cure the people in their rights, but the ourt does not hold that it did so. Ou the contrary, it coolly iuformstliH people, jy implication but not set words, that the teservation of rights in that statute was a delusion and a snare, void ami of no ffeet. The act of the court in that re gard has been followed up by another in lite .same direction the issuing of an ijjum-tioii by Judge Blodgett preventing he laying of the rails on the old road Irom North Weare to Henuiker. This last act of railroad arrogance is he last straw to break the back of the long suff ering patience of the people of New Hampshire. It is a reassert iou in an ag gravated form of the Vauderbilt creed. "The people be u d." And if the people do not resent it they deserve just that fate and nothing better. The Knights of Labor were organizec'. in this State for one purpose, the secur ng of a ten-hour law. When that was secured its members ceased from its la bors. Is it not time, men and brethren, that the people rose in their might aud demanded some things for themselves? Let the record of the Legislature of 1801 answer. Its first business almost was to pass, absolutely without amendment, bills injecting millions of dollars of new stock into two railroad corporations and presenting to their fortunate stockholders gifts of millions of dollars which must eventually come out of the people's pock ets. It has followed it up by voting down in the Senate the only measure iu the interest of the poor man that the House could be induced to pass, viz: the bill allowing ttie poor man's five dollars to buy an equal proportion of transpoi ra tion over its lines with the rich man's twenty dollars. The same Senate is re lied upon to thwart the will of the people in the matter of the construction of th-Weave-Henuiker road as authorized bvth House of Representatives. The exactions and extortions of the railroads of Kansas were at the bottom of the Farmers' Alli ance movement iu that State. Have the farmers and citizens of New Hampshire !es manhood than they? Electric Lights and Eyesight. Dr. John II. Payne, a Boston oculist, says: Most persons who use the incan descent electric light like a new lamp be cause the light is whiter and more brib liant thau after the lamp has been in use for two or three weeks. This is wrong. It is this dazzling white li?ht that harms the eyr. An old lamp is the best, for in these the light has become changed to a pale yellow, which is the ideal color. Just as in noonday brightness human sight is not so clear and far-reachin as at the yellow sunset, so a new incande scent burner is not so 'ood for the eve as an old one. Au old burner so adjusted and shaded that the light from it does net shine in the face, is the ideal arti ficial light. An argand gas burner comes next. The use of the arc light should be confined to street lamps. Some store keepers stiil use them, but thev are terri bly hurtful to the eye. This is becauso the intensity of the li?ht is constantly changing, and this jumping of the blaze is mucn worse for the eye thau the flicker of the gaslight. I have had oc casion to treat a great many people for juuammatiou ot the retina caused by working by the light of arc lamps." ?:. frtooe-JJetiocrat. How the Spider Undresses.
