It is to the effect that the pusher of the peucil went out to re- port a party the other evening where the home had recently been blessed with a new baby. Accompanied by his best girl, he met the hostess at the door, and after the usual salutations asked after the baby's health. The lady who was quite deaf, and suffering from the grippe, thoughthe was askingabout her cold and told him that though she usually had one every winter this was the worst one she ever had it kept her awake at nights a good deal at first and confined her lo her bed. Then noticing that the scnbe was getting pale and nervous she said she could tell by his looks that he was going to have one just like hers, and asked him to go and he down.

The proverb "Take care of the pen- nies and the ponnds will take care of themselves," may he paraphrased with equal truth if we say, "Take care of the minutes and the hours will take care of themselves." We.heard once of an author whose wife was ainays somewhat late for breakfast â€" ten minutes, five minutes â€" always a little behind hand. Tbe husband, on the contrary, was always early, sutl genejally ahead of time five minutes or so. Instead of fussing and fuming this model man betook himself quiutly to a little writmg-table in the dining- room, aud wrote ou one particular subject, which he kept for these idle minutes. And here is the moralâ€" in one year he had finished his book, which he dedicated to his tardy spouse. A dawdler can never accomplish very much it is alw.ijs "going to" with him or her and so the minutes fly un- heeded, and the opportunity is gone. Next to the dswdlcr m unsuccessful results is tho enerjetic rusher, who flies from one. thing to another. She also, through misdirected cuorgy, ac- complishes very little. To both of these unsuccessful sisters we give the advice wo hope to follow ourselves Make a neat little day book for your time enter every employment â€" your work, your frivolities, tho time you giye to dress aud-sleepâ€" in fact, every- thing â€" and check off results. A few weeks of such system will work wonders, and give you time lor eyery desired occupation. â€" N. Y. Tribune.

T'le most injurious practice that is frequently followed in wmteriug sheep, consists in crowding them into warm, badly ventilated quarters during the winter season. There is nothing that will more surely affect sheep injurious- ly than to huddle them in close pens, for they must have room in the sheds and judicious liberty in the yards to keep in sound vigorous health. They should he sheltered from sleety winds and rough storms, hut further than that they require iiothiug in the form of protection. Except during incle ment weather the doors should be open, allowing them to run in and out as tbe humor comes upon them. The fold, for say one hundred sheep should be about fifty feet long and ten feet wide, With yards attached at least three or four times that size. It is the better practice in carrying such a number of sheep over winter to divide the flock into groups oi twenty or twenty-five. It IS a very important matter to sec that the floor of the pens is dry, and uf such material that it will stay so if the pens are bedded witli straw. Neglect of this matter will lead to scald, and eventually to foot rot.. A layer of hard wood ashes makes a covering for the floor that will serve the purpose well. The attentive and intelligent shepherd will be always on the alert to see that his sheep are never exposed' to damp- ness in any form, either above or under foot. Dry, laige, coo|, and well ventilated pens influence success most in sheep raising. AfteY snrroundmg the flock with the most healthy conditions, their manage- ment becomes mnch easier and their feeding less elaborate. Some few still hold to the opinion that during winter sheep do not require water. This is a mistake that will be strikingly appar- ent if the practice is once tried ol sup- plying them with clean, fresh wate?, even if they have an abundance of roots. The better results that follow the latter observance will be easily, soen in the more satisfactory progress of the flock. Clover hay is by far the best fodder to feed, and next to it cnmes meadow hay of mixed grasses, cut early in the season. Boots, mean- ing thereby turnips and mangels, also make excellent food. During tho first of the season twenty -five pounds per head each day may be fed with advan- tage, but as the ewes approach lambing time that quantity should be lessened, for cold, watery toots are not to bo re- commended for feeding owes in pregn- ancy. For feeding early in the season swedes are perhaps the best, but later on towards spring mangels should be substituted for them. When iiist stor- ed mangels are too watery and acid ia taste to feed, but as the season ad- vances they acquire a sweet flavor which adds much to their palatability and food valne. Turnips on the other hand, decreabc in nutritive value M their age increases. The best grain to feed is a mixture of peas snd oats. The feeding of cake is not, as a rule, advis- able, for besides being expensive if fed in auv qaantitics, it has a tendency to heat the animals to which it is fed. This, however, does not apply to lin- seed, which is perhaps especially vain- able, owing to its laxative qualities, and the feeding a half pound or less each day becomes apparent in the soft- ness, lustre, and strength of the wool. The quantity of grain to feed will vary from one to two pounds as the judg ment of tbe shepherd may dictate. Tbe aim should be to bring the ewes through the season iu healthy, vigor ons condition, so that when they lamb they will supply a good mess of rich milk. It is very desirable that uni- form eonditiona bhould prevail, both in feeding and managment, throughout the season, for if the least check is given, itat once injnrionsly affects tbe growth and strength of tho wool fibre. It shonld he always in mind that no other domesticated animal responds more readily to good attentive treat- ment than sheep, and inversely that no other animal of the farm will more qniekly show the effects of negligence. â€" The Canadian Live Stock and Farm Joorual lor November.

Samuel Murry of Hilly Grove mortgaged his farm to the Canada Permanent L. S. Co. He got be- hind, the farm was sold, he refused to move on or off in this case. Deputy-Sheriff Carney, Constables McCoy and Green went out on Satur- day evening to escort him onto the Queen's highway. On being made aware of their in- tentions he (Murray) ran the Sheriff and Green out of the shauty with an axe he thcu turned his attention to McCoy, who dodged the first blow, the 2nd cut 15 inches of the breast of his overcoat without cutting tbe flesh, McCoy then kicked ovep the lamp and ran in on Murray aud downed him while doing so Murray sent the bit of the axe clean through McCoy's back into his langs notwithstanding this McCoy held him down until the Sheriff aud Green ran iu and lit the lamp aud haud cuffed him. Dr. Stephen went out in haste and the first impression formed was that McCoy could uot live but strange to say he still lives and is likely to live and does not seem to have the slightest fear about tho mattef himself. If pluck and cool determination will pull- a man through McCoy yot hap quite a lease of life, The singular pait of the fray is that he could have shot Murray down liav ing a go.id revolver :m him, but ho refused to do so, ho refused to take the j life of alfellow btiug, and prfcfcrred to risk his own, to face the culd steel of a heayy axe in the hands of a madman in preferanco. Murray is iu the lockup and will likely be sent up for trial. This is the same Samuel Murray that once attack- ed the Hon Edward Ulake, while going to the House of Commons at Ottawa, and was subsequently sent to the Asy- lum .where he remained for a number of years. The last reports ate that McCoy is easy and dDing as well as can be ex pected. Murray takes the matter quite cooly, and talks as if be expected to be free iu a few days, he lias been re- manded waiting the return of the Sheriff as a witness. â€" Manitoulin Ex- positor.
