Henry Carey, one of the very best of the many good servants employed by the Pennsylvania railroad, died about two years ago, lamented and respected by every officer of the road whom he came ia contact with, says the Phila delphia Timen. Carey was one of those ideal servants who was never around except when he was wanted, and then he was sure to be in evidence. He had that happy faculty of just knowing . what was the right thing to do at the right moment,and if he was not wanted you would think the earth had swal lowed bin up, and in the moment he swas wanted he appeared to descend from the clouds. A little incident in his life before he got in the employ of the railroad company is worth relating. At that, time he was a porter of one s.of the Pullman cars and one day just ' as they were leaving the station in Chi- cago he was going through the cars, when one of the passengers asked him for some slight information. He said he didn't know, but he would find out and bring back the answer, which he did in a few minutes. The passenger then asked himeto be good enough to hand him a drink of water. He said certainly in a most polite way and brought him the glass of water. Tho passenger was quite, taken with the kindly face of Carey, and said to him that he was not very well and that he might get worse on the journey and asked him it he wouldn't be good enough to pay him some little atten j iron on the way. Carey then told him that that was not his car, that his car was in front and that he could give him but very little attention there. He then asked if he might not be re moved to the front car. Carey said he would have to consult the conductor, which he did. The conductor agreed to the transfer and he was moved into Carey's car. For the first eight or ten hours the man was rather under the weather, but Carey gave him every at tention in his power, and from that on he rather improved, but Carey still kept up his kind attention, bringing him everything that he thought he might like, and doing everything that he wanted. When he arrived in Phila delphia Carey took his valise out to the platform When the passenger, watch ing his opportunity, saw the porter of the other car that he had left come up to talk with Carey, the passenger put his hand into his vest pocket, took out a hundred-dollar note and handed it to Careysaying: "I want to thank you. for your attention (o me on the jour . -ney here, and I also want to reward you for your kindness to me. Good day, I hope you may have a prosperous 'time." To say that the porter whose car the passenger had left dropped ilea J, is to moderately depict his feel ings. .

They at Oaee Part With Their Vitality aad Die. During the late extraordinary warm spell the writer of this paragraph was called upon to see a large sugar maple' tree that was supposed to have been destroyed by a leak of the city gas main at the root, but an examination showed that the tree died, literally, from sun stroke. It is strange that close ob servers of trees are unable to see when anything is out of the common run ef things, and consequently note that something is going wrong. This sugar maple had been planted on the street probably a quarter of a century ago, and was about' four feet in circum ference, but the trunk was almost tri angular, and yet this peculiarity seemed to attract no attention. The tree was simply triangular because on three sides of the tree the bark and wood had evidently been destroyed years ago, while tbe outer bark still continued to cover up the injury, and the only live wood was on the angles of the trunk. Only about one-third of the trunk was practically alive. When the exceedingly warm spell came it was im possible for these limited ducts to sup ply the moisture required for -such a large surface of foliage, and the tree, therefore, literally died from Inability to furnish the moisture required for transpiration. It may always be taken for granted that when the trunk of a tree, naturally cylindrical, takes an angular form there is something wrong beneath the bark, and an examination should at once be made. The flatter portions will usually be found dead. In this case the bark should be wholly cut away from the dead portion and the denuded part painted, in order to check rotting away. In time the healthy wood may grow over the wound or lifeless part, and the life of the tree be eventually s?-- TOOTH OF A SAURIAN. Reatarkabl) Speelaaea Foaad la a Mary land Xrea Xfaae Kseeatly. Charles E. Coffin, of Muirkirk, lid., has lately placed at tbe disposal of the Woman's College Museum for study and description, in connection with other collections from the same region, a remarkable saurian tooth, recently exhumed froi his iron mines in Prince George county. It measures three inches' In length, and the herbivorous dinosaur to which it belonged was not less than twenty-five feet in length. The dentine of the tooth, with its beau tiful polish and characteristic trans verse markings, is- almost perfectly preserved, and the delicate serrations of its edges are as sharply denned as when the reptile was imbedded in the lignitic clays of the Potomac forma tions. The mine from which the tooth was excavated is the same as that from which Professor O. C. Marsh, of Yale, several years ago obtained a considera ble collection. These remains were so highly prized by this distinguished in vestigator that several men and an en gineer were employed for a number of weeks in making excavations for the same, says Baltimore American. Though the Maryland dinosaurs were huge ani mals in comparison with reptiles now living, they are but dwarfs beside some of the gigantic species which inhabited the western North America in Jurassic time. During a recent visit to the Woman's college. Professor Marsh re marked that one of tbe fossil species he discovered in the west could stand on the lawn In front of Goucber hall and eat with comfort from the root This "terrible lizard" was 100 feet long, and the largest animal ever known to inhabit the earth.

Haw Saccesafal rarasec Departaaeat ml the tats aa te Um Car Operate This Earn A Few et lire Stack rvaltty. T MAT not be amiss to suggest to inexperienced butter-makers that they will save themselves a good deal of trouble, loss of time and damage .to the butter If they wiU bear in mind a few simple rules that apply with more force in cold weather than warm, says V. M. Couch In American Dairy man. The temperature of the cream for churning is a matter of the first importance. What the exact churning temperature should be can beN deter mined by experiment, for the condition of the cream varies on different farms, owing to the kind of cows, the way they are fed and the meth od of setting the milk and keep ing and ripening the . cream, but a temperature of about 62 degrees will come nearer, I believe, to suiting most cases than any other. It is safe to be gin at that temperature and, if not satisfactory, raise or lower it at suc ceeding churnings until the proper de cree is reached. For instance, should the churning at 62 degrees 'take too long a time and the butter when it comes is off-color and inclined to be crumbly, at the next: churning to a temperature of 64 or 66 degrees, accord ing to circumstances. When if the but ter conies too soon and is softj a low er temperature should:be tried. Cream should not be allowed to freeze, but if only one churning a week be made, it should be kept cool enough to keep it from souring till the day before it is churned, when if not slightly acid, it should be set in a room warm enough so that It will become so in twenty four hours. The cream should be well stirred every time a fresh skimming is 11 ail jBjMLcvssayyTn aotycaakaJ i. ea .1 , ,, , - i ' 1 . I I aanasakkw HOME SCENES ON WESTERN FARMS: added, or twice a day. When putting the cream in the churn, strain it through a cloth strainer. This will re move all specks that would mar the appearance of the butter, including bits of curd that may have formed and hardened in the cream, and which, if allowed to go into the churn, would show as white specks in the butter. It granulated butter is made which is the best and most proper way and it comes too hard or too soft, work it with water warmed or cof led to salt the case. If the butter is to be salted with brine, ise water warmed or cooled to suit .be case. If the butter is to be salted vith brine, use warm or cold brine as aaay bo necessary to put the granules .n right condition for working. Get nto a regular routine of performing all dairy operations' and it will save much time. Treatsaeat of Milk Fever. A correspondent of Hoard's Dairy man, B. W. Gregory, Sullivan Co., N. Y., claims to have been successful in the treatment of milk fever with cows. For the benefit of our dairymen we give his formula as follows: The formula that was adopted was to give pound salt-petre on first discov ery of the fever (which is always known by drying up of the flow of milk and prostration) and in two hours, twenty- five drops 01 aconite; in two hours 1 more, ir not reiwred (do not try to get the cow up but let her he quiet until she gets up herself), repeat with M pound of salt-petre and then in two hours with twenty drops of aconite. Alternate the above X pound salt-petre and 20 drops f aconite every two hours until re. Jeved. I have had several cases since adopting the above coarse and havo not lost one since using it Have had stub born cases where they have taken four doses each of the above prescription, but they have always recovered all I right The nrst cow that was experi mented with, my neighbor dairymaB said, "Experiment with her as much as you please, she will never get on her feet again." In fifteen hours after giving her the first dose of salt-petre she got on her feet with her own accord and in 48 hours was giving 20 pounds of milk twice a day. If the above is of any use to you or your fellow men, use it and "not put your light under a bush el." I have kept a dairy for milk pro duction, of thirty or forty cows, for a namber of years, fed these heavily aad took care of them "fer all they were worth" and have been fairly saccessfuL Wiater Paaltry Kotes. How Much Room? More room Is re quired in the poultry house in winter than in sammer because during the warm season the fowls can go outside only reomlrlngMntelentrooai fer roost ing, hot la whiter they need room for scratching when the snow Is an ths trtmni. It is the spate n the f ear that is reqaired and not on the roost, far when a kea ixas TaaratU oa tan; rats she will be quiet until morning; but daring the day she should be neat busy. Ten fowls in a' poultry heaaa ten feet kfnare (making lot square feet) are suBclent, but most persons endeav or ta doubleand even treble that num ber, and the consequence is that they feed too many fowls in?proportion to the number of hens they keep. (The Farmers' Review doubts the correctness of the statement, and believes that far less room is required.) Frozen Food. All food that has moistened will freeze and become use less when the weather is cold. When the food is placed In the trough it should be rather too little than too much, and should be given warm. As soon as tbe hens have eaten, all the food left over should be removed and the" trough cleaned. If they have not had enough a little wheat or corn may be scattered In litter for them to scratch. If they eat partially frozen food' the hens will be chilled and will not lay. Winter Expenses. The profits will not be large If the expenses are not kept down. The loss from useless males, hens that do not lay, and chicks that make no. growth sometimes bal ances the profits produced by the profit able hens. There will be some good hens in all flocks, and they give large profits for the entire year, but the expenses due to keeping fowls that pro duce nothing lead the inexperienced to attach the fault to the whole, the good. as well as the inferior: when the best course Is to dispose of all but the ones that arc paying for tbe shelter and food bestowed. Bowel Disease and Chicks. Tho principal cause of loss of chicks in winter is bowel disease, which is gen erally attributed to the kind of food used, but whfth is due, as a rule, to lack of warmth. Chicks are very sus ceptible to changes of temperature, and especially during damp days. A brood er should be kept at 95 degrees and the brooder house at 75 degrees, so as to prevent the chicks from' being chilled at any time, for should a young chick become chilled bowel disease at once sets in and the chick soon dies. Mir ror and Farmer. VI WONDER WHO MENDS FOR TEDDY." Photograph Copyrighted 19M. L. D. Weil. From. the Illustrated Amerlcaa. OverFeediag. Overfeeding is mostly done with soft food. It is placed in a trough and the fowls arc allowed to help themselves, the consequences being that some get more than their share while others get much less, the fortunate ones becom ing fat and lazy, and all of them reach ing the'sanic condition later. Soft food should not be considered as a meal, but only a part thereof, hence the fowls should never be given more than one half the quantity they would eat. It is necessary at times to vary the ration by tbe use of soft food, as bran, mid dlings, linseed meal, and ground meat can be best given in such form, but all classes of poultry will eat as much as possible at a meal when there are a number of fowls together, as they are induced to do so through competition. Ducks and turkeys prefer soft food, but chickens arc more partial to whole grains and other seeds, which can be scattered over a wide surface, in which case all hens will share alike. To learn how much soft food to give, put a certain amount of food in a trough and let the hens eat until they walk away satisfied. Weigh the amount left over and you will then know the exact quan tity eaten; that is, how much they can and will eat. but the next day. they should receive not over one-halt the quantity eaten the day before. Easily Built Ice House. No expens ive structure is needed for an ice house, though where it is an object to have no wasting away, it should be made tight er than where this does not matter so much, writes W. F. Lake in Country Gentleman. Slabs from the saw mill do very nicely for. the roof, and the sides may also be of rough boards. Where desired, the ice house may be one corner of the wood shed parti tioned off, in which ice will keep quite as well as in a more costly structure. Even stacking is often, resorted to, by laying down rails for a floor, on which to stack the blocks compactly. Cover heavily with some material which is non-conducting, such as straw, hay etc., finishing the top. so as to' shed rain! bracing-the sides with boards and rails to keep covering in position. Care must be taken in getting at the ice, always to open at same place and cover up thor oughly, or some not oay will turn It to water. In putting in the Ice, no mat ter where it may be, always surround it wiut nou-couuueung material like dust Storing Snow. Snow can be stored by haying a 'fairly tight house aad packing it with snow, pouring ia water each night after the layer of snow Is pnt on!

I have known hogcholera germs tabs iveyed fear miles on the wind, alight ia a filthy hog pen and finally wsstror all the hogs In it, while hogs in clean peas near by escaped, says an exchange., There is a great disparity of opinion as to what filth Is. Gener ally it emits a disagreeable scent A stinking swill barrel or hog trough is not cleanliness, nor Is a bad smelling hogpen. "Hogging down" corn, espe cially when the weather is warm, is not a clean proceeding. A. hog may eat part or an ear of corn, leave solid droppings on the remainder to tester in the hot sun, cholera bacteria alight upon it and breed, and then another hog comes along and finishes the ear, disease germs and all. "Hogs follow ing cattle" well, this is dangerous ground. So many, practice it and be lieve in it that If i should condemn it all the Toms, Dicks and Harrys from Oklahoma to Ohio would "follow" me with the precipitancy of a man run ning down stairs pursued by a kitchen stove, and perhaps, for safety, compel ling me hastily to seek the shortest way to the tallest timber. 80 1 will let that pass and say nothing about it. Any thing that weakens a hog's system makes him more receptive of cholera microbes. In this category can be named too close inbreeding, breeding from immature animals and wrong feeding, as an all corn diet for young animals, stinking slops, impure drink ing water, nesting in cold, damp pla ces and other errors in feeding and care. Disease bacteria and cleanliness are antagonistic, and the farmer will not flourish it environed by the latter with this one exception, that there has been a profuse production of the for mer in some near-by fountain of filth. aaaaBBssBBsaBSBwiBBiaBSBas Poultry- sail. Egg- Frlee. A noteworthy feature in the egg trade in Chicago during the ended year was the phenomenally low prices real ized. The greatest production of eggs, or the beginning of the egg season proper, which usually occurs, in March and April, took place much earlier in 1896, and eggs fell to 12 cents a doz en in the month of January, and dur ing the spring the capacities of the several cold-storage houses were taxed to accommodate the eggs stored. Prices have been low, but dealers in this prod uct have had a fairly successful year, and, though all the cold-storage eggs have not been disposed of, Chicago en ters the new year with 50,000 cases of eggs less than were carried over one year ago. The supply of poultry has been smaller, proportionately than in past years. It is estimated that the crop of turkeys was one-third less than in 1S95. Below are average prices for the year for eggs and poultry: Eggs.Poultry. Doz. Doz.

' , The people of the United States want -mutton during other than the late au tumn months. When lambs, generally speaking.-are rushed into the market on the approach of winter, the, inevit able result is a glut in the market. When the feeding is carried on into the winter some food of a watery na ture, as roots, will render good service as one factor of the ration. Roots give tone to the system. Very probably good corn ensilage will answer nearly as well, when three or four pounds per day are fed. The most convenient grain ration in your state would probably be corn, oats and bran. In tbe absence of roots or corn ensilage tbe corn should be fed cautiously. Then, doubt less the small wheat of which you have much, may be found of service, but your excellent staff of professors at the experiment station will tell you all abont these things. In solving prob lems of this nature the agricultural ex periment stations are of inestimable value to the farmers, and through them to the whole community. Wn. A. Henderson. Canned Beef.

I grew worse gradually until. July. 1895, I was suddenly attacked with Increased pain and soreness ever the pit of my stom ach and sharp pain's la my right aide, which rapidly Increased until I could scarcely get my breath. A physician was called for Immediate relief and hy podermic Injections of morphine were resorted to for relief. I was able to be out In about a week, but had a second attack the following August, more In tense than before. I was reduced from 15 to 134 lbs. la nine days and left wholly unable to take any nourishment. I lived on lime water and a very little milk for several days after. For one year I carried morphine pellets in my pockets ready for an emergency. AH this time my stomach was sore and very sensitive. I discovered that what would agree with my stomach this week would probably not next week, and that I was getting nearer and near er to-a final collapse. I consulted three of 'the best physicians In the state and two agreed fully as to my ailment, but failed to give me relief. Having utterly failed to obtain relief. I finally made ar rangements to go to Chicago to be treated when my little boy chanced to get a sample package of Dr. Kay's Ren ovator, which he brought to me. I was Induced to try It. not having the least faith In Its virtues. I thought this sam ple relieved me. and I purchased a 25 cent box. Before it was all used I had so Improved that I was taking three meals a day, which I had not done for years. I then used one package of the Urge Dr. Kay's Renovator and one more of the small aixc. It Is eight months since I commenced using Dr. Kay's Renovator and I now have no symptoms whatever of my old trouble.
