The expert in this bnaineni has teamed that there must be. for the highest profit, no standstill in the life of the beef Mitmal- Where there is no growth, the food eaten is lost. All growth oomes from the extra food; if only enough is given to support the animal, it most re- ffMii stationary, without any increase In weight or in valne. A nnmer- ons class of fanners keep what they call 'â- â- tore" cattle through the cJd season. In a standstill condition; and they do not Mem to realize that they have been throw- ing away all the food consumed through the winter, because they hare not given food enough to produce any growth. This oui^ht to be so plain to them as^ not to need explanation. The store animal that makes no growth, is actually becom- ing less valuable because its capacity for digesting food becomes impaired, and It often takes a month, on good grass, to get these store cattle into a thrifty con- dition again. If these farmers would etudy this storing system carefully, they cer- tainly would not repeat it. As we have often shown, it takes tro-thirds of a full ration to keep the animal alive, without growth, and this is lost unless the other third is added, to produce a vigorous growth. It costs from $10 to $15 to store a steer through the winter, and if the far- mer has ten head, his loas wiU be from $100 to $150; while bad he fed $50 to $75 worth more of feed, the growth would have paid a profit on the whole feed. This system, then, shows a great want of foresight. â€" [National Live- Stock Journal, Chicago. Fmit Garden in December.

We are more and more impressed with the value of hogs on the farm. Many far mere make their cows the main feature; the buildings are cj^nstmcted with refer- ence to their manirement, and the lota- tion of crops ie fi^ to promote the E-aire end. We also " Mve farms devoted to horse breeding, WfS. whole sections of country where sheepJjreeding is the lead- ing industry. To inake these differi'Ut branches of hijsbandry a specialty, is the right course for success. In the great corn districts of the West, hogs are raised in large numbers, but we are forced to say, from observation, that it is generally corn, more than care, which givas the business its degree of success. Often en- ough corn is wasted if fed with care to f itten the entire stock. The western hog does nob fill the entire plafc for which he was clesigned. He is simply a condensed corn crib, vith a great many rat holf s. Thia business basis may possibly answer where corn is cheap and land requires no fertilizer, but in the hrgest portion of this country corn is not so abundant that the farmer can afford to waate it, or is land so rich but that it can become more productiv*. Hogs should be made a fac- tor of improvement on every farm. We should have swine farms the same as dairy horse and sheep fa'Tns, with the fields and buildings adapted to them Hc^s should be fed in the fields, with a rotation in their feeding grounds, the same as in crops. In this way, in a few years, the whole farm can be gone over, and every field enriched. There is room here for solid missionary work, both in improving the condition of the pigs and of tiie peo- ple.' Litter Swine Lightly. There is but little danger of horses, catUe, and sheep being given too much litter; but where swinehave a shelter that wards off winds and rains, and where the hogs are allowed to herd tc^edier, they require very little litter. Giving them too much is a common error, and is the Bonioe of nearly all the bronchial and pol- monary diseases which affect hoffi fai the late winter and enrly spring. The boc^ of the hog ia of men a nstore, and ili«ae animals lie so close together, that if they, have for Utter a poor condnotorof hoik tfa^ beeniui overheated in the^ shelter and ohfllea^rhsn they come outside.

Use enongh litter to hold all the urine; it rots well, rarely requir- ing forking over before using. It is, how- ever, easy to build another pen at one side, and throw the compost from one to the other. Frequently fork over the sur- face, going ss deep as possible, scatter shelled com over it and torn in the hogs being careful to turn them out as soon as they have done rooting. If the hogs do not go deep enough, make holes with a sharpened stick, and fill them with shell- ed corn. An enterprising hog will go to the bottom. â-  â-  â- â-  â-  1 m The Witch's Ring. A curious, sleepy old village is Adling- tune. In the course of my ramblings in the old disused burial ground I found «n old stone, and on it I read the words: BARBARA CORNWALL. BORN 1620, DIED 1680. AGE, 60 YEARS. Lawfully executed for witchcraft. I inquired of several persons as to the history of this woman. Finally I found an old woman who told me the storv. Old Barbara was tried, condemned, and hanged, protesting innocence to the last. The little money found in her pos- session was used to buy that gravestone; and to this day if anyone was bold enough to go to her grave at midnight on the same day of the ypar on which she was hanged and say: "Barbara, I believe you were innocent," at the same time stretch- ing out a hand over the grave, she would appear to him and place in ^is hand a tal- isman. This talisman would bring good fortune as long as be retained it. but at some time in his life the witch would return to claim he. own. I found myself almost unconsciously wandering back through the old burial ground to the witch's grave. Carfllessly glancins at the inscription,! was furpriseu to find that very day was the 200th anni- versary of her death. Theworld was wild and weird that night when I stole forth from the village. Climling the low stone wall, I made my way to that darV, dreary comer where the old witch reposed. By and by the villasre cl-^ck tolled twelve. Mechani'ial- ly I strove to pppak the words I had been told, but my lips refused to form a sound. g'ill I stood, in that awful, black si- lence, cbillfd with fear, until with a micbty effort T reached out my arm over the ?ravp nvd graspedâ€" a h-nd. I-. T-8S only for rv instant â€" not that, for it was jorked n^^.y in a 1 ^^inlrHne â€" but longr enorsrb to feel how varm npt^ velvr ty it was, and how very Email. I cleared the old wall at a bonrd and ws rut on the moonlit read, wr.lkipg toward t-own. The touch of those fin.^era tlT-illed rre as with an electric shock. Gradually the con- Rcionsness forced itself up"n ir.o that I held sonietliirifT in my clenched h»indsâ€" a ring set w'^th a flts^'insr stone. On reach- in? my room a*^ the little inn I eat down and examined the ring. It was curiously carved and massive. The sett'nsr was composed of several small colored stones set in a circle about a large diamond, the name inside, "Bar- bara." FortuPfi smil'd ntjon me from tha night. Two years of busj life had oassed and old Barbara's talisman wae still unre- cliiimed. Do you believe in love at first sight » Well, if the first appearance of Walter Wynam's piater had not conquered me the touch of her hand when she welcom- ed her brother's friend would have en- slaved mfi for ever. Never had a touch so thrilled me since â€" since I held V^e witch's hand in the graveyard. The same peculiar 'hocV passed through me. and the memory of that spectral night came over me like a flash. The end came about through my a'kinp the young lady if she believed in ghosts. "I suppose I phr.uld,"Raid she, laughing, "considering my eTperience." I implored an explanation, and she re- lated the following story: It was about two years ago when a par- ty of girls, jnst home frflm school, were vliiting afriend down in the country. One of thefidrlshpd heard a foolish stiry about a witch's grave, and some nonsense about her annual appearance at d a talisman, and when Iexpr«8«ed my incredrlity they braved me to nut it to the test. What is the matter? The place? A little town call- ed Adlingtune. "Foolishly T accepted their challenge, and received a terrible fright. I carried out the instructions, and stretched my hand out over her grave. It was so dark I oonld see nothing, but some one seissed my hand. I was so benumbed with fear -that I eonld not cry out, but could oi^y fly throueh the lonely graveyard to where my trembling companions were awaiting me in the field. It was a foolish adventure, for I.felt ill, and it cost me a valuable ring which was left me by my poor Aunt BariMra. 'For her little namesake,' she said, when she sent It across Hhe sea to me. Yon see. the ring was a little large for n^ finger, and was pulled off by â€" by- â€" " "By me," I interrupted, taUog the lost ling from my noeket.

There are more hatreds engendered between women on sleeping cars than anywhere on earth unless it be in a church. Suppose there are a dozen women in a sleeper and onb toilet room. Passengers are' awakened say an hour before the train arrives at its destination. The first woman who gets into that toilet room will lock the door and stay in there until she has made as elaborate a toilet as she world at home,whiJe the other eleven women are waiting, with their hair in one hand and hairpins in the other, and satchel on their arms, and they hats the woman in the room. When she comes out the one with the most gall gets in the room next, and though she has talked outrageously about the one who went in first, she stays quite as long, until the other ten women hate her worse than they did the first. The ten ladies who are waiting will by this time have con- cluded that there is no show for them, and they will try and fix up so they can go to a hotel before making their toilet. The only two who will be fixed up will be those who have been hoggish, crowded in and remained regardless of the comfort of others. Many ladies who travel on sleepers never try to get in the toilet room in the morning, because there is always one or two who have seemed to lay awake all night in order to make a rush on the wash room before anybody else. Some ladies who travel a good deal can pick out the one, the night before, who will monopolize the toilet room in the morning. There is a demand for ap-^rtments. certainly, fn sleepers, where women can be conifort- able and at their ease without annoying each other. They do not annoy men. because men can go in the wash room and "register on the towel," put on a clean collor and pair of cuffs and make room for a cartload of dirty passengers. Ho^ a Chinaman Gets into Busi* ness. Wong Ching Foo, the Chinese ex- jour- nalist, tells how his countrymen get into business in America. He says " One of my race arrives here with no money and in debt to hli friends or to bankers for the steamer and railroad fair. He generally engages himself as a green- horn or apprentice to some successful laundryman. Although the compensa- tion is small ($4 or $5 per week and board), for the six "months or one year of his contract, he learns the bu«inee«, pays off his debts, and gains a good name for intemty and capability. At the end of his term, if he is a skilled workman, he can either secure first-class wages ($18 per week), or open a laundry of his own. The latter is his usual conree. He may see, for example, a laundry for ttle for $600, whose looks and location he likes, and he himself has but $60 to his name. He goes to Mott street and there on the bulletin boards puts up° a notice calling for a " whev." or syndicate of twelve men with $60 each to meet him at a certain time and plaee. The meeting ia had, and if he be regarded aa honest and capable the requisite $660 is glyan to him, he in r^um acknowledging tiieindebted- nees, and nromidng to pay a certain in- terest on the money adranoed (gepenlly 20 per cent, per annum).

As energetic as the firm of Arkell Smiths had bsen in extending their bnsmees at the start, they still had unused resouzoes of mind and energv to attack the paper problem and bring it to a highly suoceMf ul solution â-  From 1868 to 1865 the manufacture and trado in cotton sacks had almost wholly dried up, and this firm, seeing clearly that its business was fraying down to more than a ragged edge, copimenoed a series of ex- periments in several paper miUs, to pro- duce a power of the requis'te toughness and tensile strength to beai the abrasion and strain incident to the transportation of flour. The paper grocery beg was then just coming into use, but the paper of which it was, and is still made, is so tender and fragile that i would have been useless for anydiing except the lightest contents, and for the shortest transporta- tion. Every known and available fibre was testedâ€" Australian and Spanish grasses, Canadian wild rice straw, Kentucky hemp. Northern flax, Hindu jute, manilla, Vnen waste, and many other*. No material gave such strength as the manilla used in the manufacture of rope and cordage. This material however, was so obdurate and kinking that the first sheets of paper made from it would roll themselves up as snug ss a watch -spring, and it was only after months of chemical pertuasion and mechanical castigation, that this contrariness was overcome. This paper was found to have a surprising tensile strength, for an inch ribbon of it sustained a weight of one hundred and twenty pounds. Some of the bag paper now made is strong enough, to hold toward two hundred pounds on an inch ribbon. The same size strip of cotton cloth g*ves way at twenty-eight pounds. Manilla, however, was found too costly, being worth in those days sixteen cents per pound in gold, with gold at 210, and it required two pounds of the fibre, ex- clusive of the chemicals, to make a pound of paper. Manilla could not be cheapen- ed, for, though the labor employed in getting the fibre was excessively cheap, the distance of the transportation from the Philippine Islands could not be shortened, and the material was too ex- pensive for an ecomical paper material. It was not long, however, before it was found that old manilla rope, that had been ucd in ringing on water craft, had all the requisite strength, and was cheap enough, while a large part of the sticki- noss of the new fibre was worked out of it by the usage. So the old rope, that paper-makers had hitherto considered v. nuisance, and thrown away, was utilized tor the new paper flour sack. This manilla stock is made into the de- sired paper by a peculiar process of felt- ing. The rope is cut into lengths of three or four inches, and beaten out while dry into a mas^i that looks like the hair of a mattress it is then boiled in limewater, beaten for hours in great pounders, whose iron ribs comb out the fibres without mashing them, and then, by one step after another, it is carried floating in water to the face of revplving wires, where it is tucked up against their moving faces, all woven, tangled and interlaced, and so passes upon a continuous mov- ing belt of fiarnel, where another soppy, wet sheet, made in the same way, joins it, and the two, now beginning to unite, are passed under and over a long double row of !(steam calenders, which sqeeze out the water, dry and pack the fibres tightly together, till at last the hairy-look ingpulp that surged out at one end of the ma- chine like a foamy sea, is rolled up at the other end in big drums of paper weighing four hundred and fifty pounds to the roll. â€"[Paper Worid. A Dog's Devotion* " I had only got my harvest done when one night I awoke to find my room brightly illuminated. I understood its meaning at once and made all haste to dress and get my wallet of money, nearly $3,000, and get out of the cabin. It was as I suspected, the dreaded prairie fire. Away in the horizon I could notice its rapid advance. I knew that my only way of escape was in hasty flight. My horse was r aming over the prairie, and I could not afford to look for him, so along with my^ faithful dog I plodded my way as rapidly aa pos^ile towards the Bow River. The distance was ten miles, and whether I could make it or not T did not take time to consider,but ran as I never did before. How I lasted the distance is a problem to me. 1 reached the bank of the river as the raging flames were within a hundred yards, and as I was standing there, dazed my dog took holdof me and with a sudden jerk pulled me head-foremoet into the nver.
