From the Inielligencer, Belleville, Ont. It ia doubtful if there ia any other occupation more trying to the consti- tution than that of the thresher. Ex- posed to ttiie rains and storms of the autumn season, and at ttue same time choked with the duat consequenti ufion thxeehing, he easily falls a prey to disease. Mr. Joe. fi. Davis, a resi- dent of the township of Wick low, Hastings county, follows the threshing machine for some months every fall. Foi' eight or nine Years he was subject to attacks of inflammatory rheuma- tism. The disease usually made its a|>pearaDce in the Call, and continued throughout the winier, causing not only much suffering but great incon- ve-nience. Mr. Davi«j' must serious attack oi'curred during the winter of 1893. It first made itself manifest by th« swelling of the rigtit hand, and be- fore twenty-fours hod passed the db>«ase appeared to have gone through the whole system, and the lie«» were swollen to iin almormal size, so much so thiit the joints were not visible through the swellings, tor ten monthiS the l roulde continued and dur- ing ihil period Mr. Davis was unable to put m his own clothes, and the paiin h«> endured almost passed compre- nensiuu. One doctor after another was tried but without any beneficial re- sults. Then advertised medicines were tried l>at with no better success. "I can hardly say." said Mr. I'w-vis, "how imich money I. spent on doctors and medicine.

To roll up a wet umbrella is to invite the dyes to rot it. and one of the lianes of the umbrel- la manufaturer is loaded dye on silk. t)ut of ICO samples of silk submitted to the writer, not over ten were pure dye, anil 50 per cent, cxf the silk thread submitted w«is overloaided with dye and would not •'fand our chemical test. This is a fruitful i ause of trt)uble in umbrel- las, and our concern insistj^ on all the silk and silk threads standing a chem- ical te»it in this respect. When over- dyed silks are wet and the umbrellas rolled and set away, we find the own- ers coiiip'aining that their umbrellas are crarUing in the folds. Kine holes apjiear and they are apt to return the umbrella to the merchant and claim •damages. DISLIKED LINGERING TXJRTBRE.

Not many more years a^o than • an be counteil on the Imgeis of onls hand not one iaiiner in ten iLanw the names of a hail dozen l>reetls ui poultry, but toHiay the farmer wbo «annot teil his choice of the difiereni breeds, and the reajona of his preiereui-e, is consider- ed Unbind tUe times. This is as it should be for nowhere else i.au a small floo kof fowls benrutile to yield so much clear profit as on the farm, says a writer. It seen^fl to me best that the larmer should keep but one variety of cb.ckens if he intends raising oniy for eggs, broilers, or market stock. We have settled on Buff Cohins as the kind that suits us best. Ihey are extremely gentle, of large si^e, quick growth, taking only about two months to rea h frying size. They are hea- vily feathered, and so stand the cold weather well, and lay Ijetler in win- ter thun in summer, which suits us, as we do not care to aeil eggs when they are down to 5 or 6 cents. When they reach this price, we think it pays to boil a few a.:casionally for the lit- tle chickss if we have more from the CMumon bens than we need for kitchen use. £^gs from our best bens sell readily iunong the neighlxirs for a good price, for setting, if we have more than we wish to aet ourselves. We aim to have our early chicks ready for market as early as possible, and these are sure to bring good prices in the home market. Later, when everybody and ail bis folks are taking chickens to market, prices take a leap downward, anil as by this time all except the very small thicks can alxmisi pick up a living and as fowis, live or dressed, are in demand about Christmas and New- dear's, and often between limes, we keep our chickens growing on to le ready for the maj'ket at some of these times. When setting bens, we set two at one time, and when they bal-h, pui all the chicks with uoe hen. and if lb.- other hen seems doing well â€" if she eeeius bright and in good fleshâ€" put more eggs under her. and set another hen at the same lime. This is late in the season, when one )ien • an lake care of twenty-five or thir- ty chicks; earlier il is not safe t<< al- low more than lifteeu to the ben. We often bear people say there is no use lo Setting eggs to but.h in June, for June chicks will ° sleep themselves I to death." This is often true, le ause, the weather toeing pleasant, chicks are not cooped, but allowed lo wade through rank gra.-« and get wet with dew. We have never had but lew J une chicks droop and die. and ihos<« few ! deaths have invariably followed cKsely after a lailure to kee|) them cooped until the dew dried oiff in the morning;. Another thing which causes many deaths among the warm-wealbered chicks Is the pra.'lice of feeJing almost ] exclusively on corn-meal duugli or Iml- j ter. ' Corn meal should uut lie fed at all j raw. Bread made of corn meal is liet- ' ter. Bread made of a mixture of meal and wheat bran is best, and lo this ' should be added a generous alluwanLe of table scraps; meal, fruit and vegeta- , ble trimmings, and what sweet milk j or clablwr can be spareil Cor them, need , never 1« < onsidered w asted. i A flock uf poultry on any farm can ; lie made the source uf a neat income; I but. even should the farmer only raise enough Cor his own family, selling nev- I er an egg nor a feather, still they will â-  pay better than aliuuet anything else requiring bo more outlay, either in time or money, than they. EARLY RIPKNING OK KRIIT It is not diffit-ult to so manipulate a branch of a peach, pear or apple tree as to tausi! it not only to ripen its fruit ten days or more in advance uf the oi^ dinary wason. but to greatly in 'rea.se its size, so aays a writer in American Gardening. Trees take In their food from the soil: minerals dissolved in water, which pa^'Ses from cell to cell through the center of the tree until the leaves ai°e reached, where it is digested, so to speak, and is combined with carlxin from the atmosphere and the assimi- lated food pa-si's downward imme- diateib' under the Liark. building up the wood cells and developinjc the fruit. Now if we check the downward flow of the sap by pressing the bark il throws the food I a k and the fruit appropriates it, causing an almormal growth and speedy maturity. This .an 1* readily done by twisting a small wire tiijrhtly around the limb just Inflow the fruit. It is better to remove all but the ,one Sfc iuien and great care must l» exer- ciseil nit to gel the wirei so tight as to rupture the l>ark and thus destroy the bran.'h. It tmly requires a slight com- pression Ui acomplisb the work. After the fruit has matunvl the win- must lie removed. Grape growers who pro tice 'ringing" understand this to iwrfe lion They cut out a Wind of the bark about a quarter of an inch long just lielow the cluster tiy be affe<'ted. It then appro- priates all the reB•>unx^s of the shoot and often more than doubles its size but the limb must becut at the next pruning, as tJie girdling kills it. It of- ten happens that a youn^ tree will not develop tmit buds, but such can be made to do so by suddenly checking^ its gro^vth when its wood buds are alx»ut alf foriae^l so as to cau.'ie them to de- velop into fruit buds. A fine wire is twisted around the body of the tree only once and left two or three weeks in July and Augu.st 8i> as to cut off the downward flow of sai>. The same effect can l-eaivivmpli«hed by a straight, tbin cutdirei'tlv arxmnd the tree, merely sev- ering the bark. It will draw apart and fill with gum, quickly healing; but the •heck is B»cured, and a go<id frropt o( fruit sure for tlie next season. This should be done not later than the mid- dle of July. CLEANING THE STABLE. Besides kp°ping the cow stable dean day by day when used there snou'd 1 e a thorough annual ileaning, and there is no time when it can I* better done than at this e^an-n of the year. In this proie.s the whole stable should be emp tied and all remnants of fodder, man- ure and iitter 1« carried away. The whole sta'-.le is then to be swept clean in'luding comers, crac'. s and crevices in wa Is and floor, and all cobwebs be removed. The sweepings and litter (should he buried beneath the manure heap or plowed under. If th-'re is a mow for coarse fo Iders over the stable, with rraoks or boles in the ceiling' alx>ve the stalls any remaining fod- der in the mow should be removed and all swept 'lean. After cleaning the etabie s^ruh all woodwork with hot water and then whitewash it. By whitewashing the stabe be umes ligbt- er anl m.->re cheerful, the woodwork is preserve! and the development of micro-organi-ms to impure future milk is checked. If any contagious disease has appeared in the stalile. then' it should I* thoroughly disinfected. Evil micro-organisms are so plentiful in a filthy stable that it is impossible- to even get cne milking from a cow with- ou- having the milk well charged with these destructive invisi'r>le organisms of evil portent. CARE OK MILK. The following is a compilation of directions given tiy some of tJia wes- tern cheese factories in connection w iib the tare of milk. Pla.-e cans in eoitl water immediately after milking. Pla-e the milk in cool water soon af- ter milking is donet P!a e cans in cold water all once. Cool qui.'kly. Pra tii-e clfanliness with a big C ftlilk pails. 8tr:uivi4rs, and coolers should lie washed and 9-alded at eai'h milking. Rinse 1 ans in warm wafer, scald with hot water, and air as much as possible. Have can,s wash»d and scalded thor- oughly and well aired. Stir the milk at least two or three times while cooling. When the milk is cooling, cover tha lans with cheese cloth. Do not put covers on the cans over night iHit use a thin cloth. Always leave covers off the milk un- til the animal heat has disappeared. Never mix morning's milk witJn night's milk until l>i>th are thoroughly icold. I It warm milk i.s added to cold, it piro- I duces a taint at once. THE RINDERPEST.

M.arshail, of roronto,f roiu Lang's â- Nek, Natal, South Africa, says:â€" 'Tlie j outlook hero is awfulâ€" ruination or starvation is staring every farmer in the face. ts;on>s up country have died.

We are close to the railway and so there is no chance of our dying iu such a manner: but our difficulty, and in fact the dif- ficulty of the bulk of the whites tbnougli here will be money.

Wildvat mining has ceas>d entirely, as the schemes cannot be floated un- less large veins and rich ores are shown to exist. In speaking of assays, Mr. Anderson thinks tiO to the ton rich, and eays that a mine yielding 925 to the ton will pay well enough, as it casta only 9i3 to take it from the mine and smelt it. Prol:ial)ly the average assay of all t3im mines woold be about 925 TO 930 TO THiE TON. i Roaaland is still growing in popnlSr- tion and in everything that makes m city.
