AN IMMUTABLE LAW.

Tho inun who fears to go into u:i en
terprise on ncrount of competition i
not made of that sort of tufT which
leads to marked success. Whether
recognized or 'not, there is no living
oxeept under the mobt unremitting
competition. Whether millionaire or
pauper, old business man or the one
of nc-.v enterprises, competition in
some of its forms is ever at work, and
he who would hcape competition must
:cape from life. This is well illus

Competition means strife. rinUtgon
imii; in short, war. It existf both in
the natural world and the Ihimiich
world. Sir William Grove, in a lecture
delivered at the Hoyal Ins-titiition of
Gr-.:tt Hritaiu on jintagotiiiin,"' i-ay.i
that "it is a neee-oity of existence, and
of the organism of the universe, so far
a w under.-t;md it: that motion and
life ea:i not go n without it; that it i?
not a mere ca-nal adjunct of n:Uurc.
but that without it there would b no
nature, at all events as we conceive it:
that itih inevitably associated with un
organized matter, with organic- mat
ter, and with sentient beings." This
in a. very broad definition, but it r, un
qualifiedly true. As an example of an-
tngonism in nature, the lecture--peal:-

The large breed of horses are not a

Cows are often said to dry up in the fall,
when in fact they freeze up- Good, warm
qaarters, warm water asd soft feed, as
ensilage or roots, will soon prove that dry
tag up is only freezing and starving.
If orses that have been cli(jel should be
kept carefully blanketed when left stand
ing in the cold or storm. All mud and dirt
should be cleaned from their leg and fet
locks at nilit. Kegluct of this is a prolific
source of scratches.
Do not KUppoKe the cow Is dryiag off be
came the milk flow Is lessened at this
season, as the cause may l a change from
gren to dry food. Feed liberally and give
cooked roots for a while and he will soon
come back to her usual quantity.
Cows should not be allowed to stroll over
miry pastuies, cutting the wet, soft turf
with their hoofs. A yard for exciciseoa
sunny days, warm shelter at night and
plenty of good, who1eouie food will show
in tins pail now and hereafter.
It in a very bad plan to have catte of all
ages promiscuously in the same inclosnre.
Calve under a yaar or up to eighteen
months for the females, and up to three or
four month-' for the bulls will be much
better if ton fined in a lot by themselves.
Dry dirt is b-.-ttcr than sand on the floor
of stables, as it is an aUorbeiit and the
tlnertnedirl the better. Hand, however

The fall pippin, when in perfection, for
site aud excellent quality is, unquestion
ably, queen of all the autumn apple. A
strong competitor of the tall pt)piti is the
orange apple. The fruit is nearly or quite
as large, on the average, and fully as
baudoiue, bemg really "apple of gld,"
smooth and fair to look upon.
Another r reedy for grape rot ha brer
suggested b3 sj ringing the vines with a
solution of one ounce of carbolic acid
(crude) in 12 qui rt of water.
The objection io packing any kind of
fruit in bran foi winter is that it tends to
ripen it too rapidly, and unless watched
very carefully will get too ripe.
The fall c.!t will pay well, as the dam
will not have much labor to perform at
this season. By the time the colt is

As long as the season permits and there

He felt an extreme gratification and

His real self was undergoing rhyth

double was a marvelous instrument,

MAKING A HOME.
The lliisliuiitl Has In llo Ills Share as Well
the Wife.
Men are what their home make
them of what their homes made of
them in infancy and youth. That
women make homes has been Ming and
preached until one reads with hearty
satisfaction Colonel Higginson's intro
duction of an address delivered last
summer at the commencement of a
girl's college. Ho had lieen adjured,
said tho speaker, not to talk to stu
dents and alumna- as women, but as
human beings; to leave the matter of
sex in education out of sight for one
hour. The m:iutilinu element is as
essential to the right composition of
the home as lemon-juice to the sugar
and water of sherbet. Tho household
where there is not a man's hat on the
hall-rack is a enift minus one side
wheel. The music of daily life with
out the heavier, up-bearing timbre of
a bass voice, is like tho singing of
canaries, very tuneful and very thin.
The domestic duties of him who
stands in the place of pater-familias
are not fulfilled when he has supplied
grist to the mill. His wife maybe the
nominal captain. He is part owner
and first mate. If she be the acknowl
edged ipieen of the realm he is the
power behind the throne. Which jum-
I bio of metaphors, done into straight-
forward Knglish, ignilies that a
woman can not, single-handed, make
n jiorfect home. It is a joint-stock
concern, in which each individual of
the household has a share, the parents
being the heaviest owners and the
board of directors. Any thing else is
a loosely-cohering association of hu
man particles, classed for the ake of
convenience under one name, and held
together by habit and policy. Hume-
