At last accounts he was resting as comfortably as could be ex nected and it is thought he will sur vive. Two very sad accidents occurred near Harvard last week, both to boys, one of whom was only seven, the other fourteen years of age.

Several weeks since the Pitts'burg Art society adopted resolutions recommending the accept ance of Mr. Carnegie's gift of a public library to the city of Pittsburg. In transmitting the resolution to Mr. Carnegie the society deplored the stand taken by the several labor or rnniz9.tions against accenting Mr. Carnegie's gift Today Mr. C. W. Scotel received Mr. Carnegie's reply, which says in part: I am naturally much grieved at the action of some of the industrial organ izations to which the resolutions refer. Whatever was of a personal character I readily understand and passed over, perhaps the more easily because I couid not.quite see how I deserved it But the ooposition expressed o the library, music hall and art gallery was wholly a different matter. It were indeed pitiable if the wage earners for whom these were chiefly intended should be oermanently prejudiced against them by any shortcoming of the donor, how ever grevious. for sadly as be may fail in his efforts to live worthily and do his duty and no one. alas! knows as well as himself how far he falls short of his own ideals yet his gifts to Pittsburg must ever remain stainless, and working good continually, and never evil I hope, therefore, that your action may bring my fellow work men (for I have a right to use this title) to see that fair play requires them to separate "the donor and his many faults irom libraries and music halls and art galleries, which have none.

OMETHING ABOUT MANAGING PASTURES j MeUltoa tkie e!edr Th'e Poor. Farsae Bey Batter WUhoat WorklngC. Sheep SbearlBsmnd Heated J held Helps. The Maaaaesaeat of Past ares. This is a matter that is giving con siderable concern to many farmers, for in the present state of the markets and of values, they are apt to over stock the pastures and more than half destroy them in an effort to keep down expenses and save the grain crop.' This kind oi work is of the penny wise order and must eventuate in serious, if not permanent loss to those who practice it The Manchester, N. H. Union, has a few suggcaiiye remarks od the Subject Which, we pfesgnl'oei fd: . ... ,..., Now slop and think the matte'r all over. Those steers that you have turned into fall feed, that is, the mow ing fields, are growing faster than they have before this season, and the cows are doing better in proportion to other conditions. Just think where you would have been if they could have had such feed nil summer! Can you afford to supply such feed or can you afford to do withdufe it? Watch the cattle feed where they carl get a mouthful ill every bite and then go intd the pasture where they have been all sdmmer and calculate as nearly as you can how many motions they must make and how much ground they must cover to fill their stomachs so they will be ready to lie down and chew their cuds. About half of this difference is on you and coming out of your pocket Pasture grass need not be more than two inches high if it is fine and thick for stock to do well and if it is kept down to about that length it is better than field grass wuich grows tall enough to shade itself. But in our fifty-acre pastures on plains or hillsides there are not more than five acres on an average that would produce Such feed if they were not overstocked, and as our pastures are too often stocked according to the acres they contain rather than the feed they produce the green spots are gnawed close to the , ground, and cattle work hard all day and come up lank at nignt xnere should be some change in the system and each man must decide for himself how he will change it Every man who conducts what is called mixed farming needs all the manure he can make on his fields, and as he needs to spend the most of his labor there as well, the pastures are left to take their chances. There are several systems of rotation which may be adopted to advantage under proper conditions. Where any considerable part of the pasture land can be plowed, plowing and re-seeding with a light manuring will make a great change for a few years, and one field may be pastured while another is being sultivated. Another plan of ro tation is to make the pasture into three parts and keep sheep in one of them two years and let the cattle have the others one or two weeks alternate ly, depending on how fast the grass grows. Then take the sheep pasture for cattle and give the sheep one of the others. The object of this is to feed the pastures more closely with sheep than could be done with profit by cattle. Sheep want a greater va riety of food and when grass fails will eat other plants and kill out many weeds that cattle would not touch. For pasturing in this way six or seven sheep may take the place of a common cow, and more may be counted on if there are more weeds and bushes than grass. Horses are more particu lar what they eat than cattle or sheep and a pasture where colts have run until the golden rod and blackberry vines have almost taken possession, can be cleaned out and brought into clean grass in two years by stocking it heavily with sheep. Much may be done with pigs when there are cows enough kept to feed a godd herd of swine and it is not desira ble nor convenient to keep sheep. Pigs will work in wet places and dig out every plant that has a succulent root Their work will be more thor ough and rapid than that of sheep, but if they are fed with slop3 from the dairy it is not so convenient to have them in distant pastures. The Poor Farmer Boy. You may talk of the hardships and torments of the army mule, but they are trivial compared with those en dured by the farmer boy. I have been reminded of this by the disposition of the hands about the threshing machine. As you know, the hardest hottest po sitions are upon the straw stack; and if there are any boys about the machine and there always are you may safe ly bet your bottom dollar they are on the straw stack. Yet the farmer won ders why the straw is stacked so poor ly, and gets mad about it. The boys lack the strength to handle the straw; give them the easy places and put the men on the stack. I have said that boys can always be found upon the straw stack. I will make one excep tion; if the wind blows the dirt out from the cylinder, the boy is put to cut bands. In harvest the boy is expected to keep out of the way of the reaper, do his work well (if a bundle Ls found open, it is always blamed on the boy) fetch the water, go after the monkey wrench, and hunt up the oil-can, and he can sfop the pigs, fetch hay for the horses, and pump water for the cattle, while the men are cracking jokes in the shade after dinner. Whan a boy is sent out to plow, her is eiven a plow that -a man will not , se. and the oldest, meanest team on "icpiace. mere sa uu.v no un bay has it; if an axe has been broken , J nd thick itisgiven to the boy; if there is an old, rusty shovel, it belongs to the boy. The boy is set to mowing weeds in fence corners, with the high-corn, to keep off the breeze, but not the August sun; and if that were not enough he is always given a worn-out scythe. If it is broken and loose on the snath, that is all the bet ter. The" bay is expected to pitch as much hay as any body, with astraigfat tined, inflexible-handled fork, and scolded if he doesn't. That boy is sent out to cut fodder with a knife that would do to split rails, were it not so dull, and set to grubbing with a 'mattock that would hi treasured by, archaeologists. 28, 1892, Wheat there ia aothing else for him to doi he burns brush in summer, and sorts potatoes ia winter under a shed.

Butter Without Workiax In these days of progress in the dairy room, much working of the batter has come to be viewed as not only unnecessary, but an absolute in jury to the grain, and its finer quali ties. The Indiana Farmer says: Many advanced dairy people are of the opinion that the butter worker" will in the dear time become a feature of the past, and its use altogether dispensed with as it is well kndwn thit too much working will spoil batter id its finest form, destroying its solidity and producing a salvy and unpalatable condition. A correspondent in the Ohio Farmer describes Kis plan" of packing butter successfully without working it at all. After thorough wash ing in the churn, and the salt incorpo rated, through the butter, with a fork or butter paddle it is trans ferred directly to the packages in small Quantities, pressing- it firmly down: tip the package over to drain, as the Water accumu lates on top of the batter, while pack ing. Fill the crock or firkiris nlord than even full, theri with a silk thread cut the butter off td a level with the edge of the package: This will leave the granules exposed on the sdrface" and the purchaser can see at a glance that the package contains granular butter instead of a salvy, worked-to-'death compound of buttermilk rancid cream, with a very little butter fat in it If sure that the butter is such that you can warrant it to be strictly gilt edge, say so on a label fastened on the package with your name and address. This warrant is a wonderful stimulant to urge one to do his best. The maker stands out in fnll light, with nothing to shield him from the consumer of his batter. The consumer knows who made the butter, and if as warranted, more orders are sure to follow. Two-Year01d Hens for Breeders. There is no donbt that two-year-old hens are preferable ta yearling pul lets for breeding purposes, as the eggs of the hens are larger. The chicks coming from two-year-old hens' eggs are likely to be stronger and more apt to live. But hens two or three years old will not lay so great a number of eggs as will pullets in the first twelve months they commence .to lay. If, however, one has a choice lot of well developed pullets and mated with a vigorous two-year-old cock, do not fear to set the cgs from them, but do not use the earliest litters, as they are not likely to give you as strong chicks as the later ones. The best laying hens, all things con sidered, arc those one-year-old fowls that are hatched the previous season in March' or April consequently the best plan for all fowl breeders is to raise chickens every season to be the layers of the next year and to kill the old stock regularly every fall before moulting or as soon as they cease to lay. Among our foremost breeders the mating of vigorous twelve months' old pullets to a good cock in his full second year has given as good chicks on the average as the mating of two-year-old hens to a young cock. One thing that may be depended on as a rale, the most reliable breeding birds that can be mated together as to the age are those of one sex or the other that are a year the oldest It is only through repeated experiments that the breeder can be able to select the best pointed and finest specimens of mating, and when this is accomplished the most satisfactory results will fol low. Connecticut Farmer. Sheep Shearings. Do not feed breeding sheep to highly nutritious food, as it is highly injuri ous. Value of the lambs largely depends upon keeping the ewes in a good thrif ty condition. 2fl--j?s 2Ss 1 mixed husbandry, and any attempt to separate will generally prove disas trous. The tendency to improve the mutton will also improve the form and hardi ness of the animals to the same ex tent. Household Helps. Hot water is an excellent remedy for erysipelas. Never use strong or rancid butter in seasoning vegetables. A correspondent asks what to do for a fresh bunion. Try painting it with iodine and wearing a loose shoe. Headache, toothache, backache or most any joint ache will be relieved by heating the feet thoroughly with the shoes on. For a disagreeable breath, put a few drops of tincture of myrrh in a tum blerful of water and thoroughly rinse the mouth with it.

The merchants who have large holiday stocks of goods to sell, pay handsomely for the ideas their advertising agents give them. The streets are crowded with people ready to bny, and yet bewildered by the allhring shows in the big windows of every shop, and the tradesman who holds the throng for a few minutes in front of his plsee is sure to make money by it This wee"fc onj merchant got an idea that set his competitors at their wits' tod to compete with him. He had an enorinttas show window, ia full view of the street, filled -with his most attractive and expensive toys, mechanical and otherwise, and put two little boys in it All day long the youngsters played with the figures, winding them up and letting theul ran out; shot at targets with guns and bows and lay down and looked at gorgeous picture-books. The street in front was blockaded with people, and inside the clerks were kept busy selling the things with which the lads wero playing. The idea has spread over the town, and boys who like to play with toys can easily get places in every one of the shops no w. Postmaster Harlow could have ehosen ho better time than this, when the mails are crowded with Christmas presents, and the carriers worn out with overwork, for the extension of the street railway postal service he es tablished some time ago. St Louis is the only city in the coun try that has such a thing, and the Postmaster has no models to help him. He started the system on a line of electric cars, running twenty miles east and west, and found that it saved a score of carriers and several hours in citv deliveries. He has now decided to improve the system by adding a cross-town line to it, so that the peo ple living in the north and south will get their mails quickly as well as thns in the west and east The other electric lines will be added to the sys tem as fast as the government can be induced to make the necessary appro priations. The courts have just sustained the boulevard law of the city, and the effect is already seen in a great in crease of the number of permits taken out by builders for costly dwellings on the broad avenues whieh'the law was designed to protect from the intrusion of business. No shop or structure in intended for any commercial purpose whatever can be built on the boule vards. They are reserved entirely for residences, churches and club-houses. The tracks of the street railways which have the right to run along the boulevards pass along tho center, and on each side, guarded from the tracks bv a curb, is a driveway and a side walk. Most of the boulevards have besides; a double row of trees planted along the middle. Vehicles and loot passengers are protected additionally, by the elevation of the car-tracks, the whole railway roadbed being raised about two feet from the level of the stieet Mexican flint knives were made fo harp that they cou d be used for trimming huir. 100 Ksward S10O.
