LONHOS , Nov. 0 [ New York Herald
Cnlile Spcclul to tlio Hun. ] The relnpso
of tlio crown prince , or rather Iho progress
rondo by his innlndy , will not take the read
ers of these dispatches by surprise.S'hlIo
nil the other newspapers were presenting fa
vorable hut delusive accounts of the prince's
condition , It was my duty to warn you that
there was the gravest cause for anxiety. The
present access of the disease came on at the
beginning of last week. Morrcll MncICcnzIo
receives a report every day from tlio English
doctor left In charge of tlio patient. On
Wednesday the crown princess sent for him.
Ho started directly after some urgent cases
hero could he provided for. Medical
Bclenco can do little more than watch
the course of the malady and srlzo
every opportunity of alleviating the pain.
U'hfiro might bo long stages between the out
break of cancerous growth or might como
with violence accompatiscd by much Inflam
mation , The latter appears to bo the case at
present. It Is deserving of remark Unit ono
inun , lias never from the first , concealed his
opinion of the trim nature of the disease ;
never hesitated to declare it was incurable ,
namely , Prof , Von Herpman , one of the chief
physicians of the German court. Moroll
WuICcir/io and I'rof. Verchow took a hopeful
view hut Mi'IOonzio always gimoded himself
Against any expression of opinion concerning
the disease itself. His business has been to
relieve and , if possible , euro. In nny
Issue ho will bo much attacked but
it was not in the power of man to do moro.
Tlio resources of science- applicable to such
nflllctlons were MIOH exhausted and the
crown prince quickly perceived this. I bo-
llovo that ho never has been under miscon
ception regarding his condition. His wife ,
I'rinccss Victoria , has buoyed him up and
thus his constant depression has boon miti
gated. It Is no st'm't ' that the prlnco docs
not beliovu ho will recover and the failure of
efforts to arrest the discaso for moro than a
lew weeks at a time , probably induces him
to give up the Idna of trying to protect lifo
by the sad penally of cxilo and a return to
Berlin. This is his wish and ho only licsi-
tutcd indulging it from a dcsite to satisfy his
wife and family that nothing was loft undone
to promote his recovery.
A heavier blow could not descend upon thu
liomo rule parly than the death of Lord Wol-
Vorton. From him have como most of the
nlnenvs of war during the last two elections.
For a time they were Immense. Ho had no
neil and was prepared to six-nd money lilto
water for the benefit of his party in election-
coring. Since ) Gladstone's defeat in 1385 , lie
Is believed to have expended JLI.'OO.UOO. IJe-
Bidcs this ho supported a number of provin
cial papers and opened his purse freely to im
pecunious but useful members of the
party. The.ro arc men whoso services
on tlio platform and elsewhere cannot
well bo dispensed with but who are not
nblo to get along without pecuniary help ,
llord Wolvcrton always came to the rescue.
As to who will take his place , there is only
IV'rd Kosoberrylio Is rich enough to do It.
JIo is believed to have found the money for
Gladstone's first Midlothian campaign , and I
heard it stated that ho put down 50,000 for
tlio last election , llut Lord Hoseberry's
inouoy is not strictly his own , and the Kolhs-
chllds are too shrewd to make themselves
nvowcd political partisans. Their policy is
to remain good friends with both sides. They
in ivy not respond to hints from Hawardou
quite as readily as Lord Wolvcrton. The
Btroko must in nny case bo severely
felt. The winter campaign will bo
conducted without Lord Wolverton's money ,
with Lord Hosoborry jwirtially invalided and
With Lord Spencer abroad. Undoubtedly
fortune and the fates favor the conservatives
lit this moment. Tlio approaching retirement
of Lorn Landsdowno from the ollleo of gov
ernor general of Canada will give rise to
many rumors as to his successor. The latest
is that Lord Uumiirun will bo Appointed. I
can at least state that down to the present
moment Lord Dunruvcn had heard nothing
of it. Had ho not have resigned from the
ministry soon after Lord Randolph , ho might
Imvo stood a bettor clmnco of being asked ,
but I doubt whether ho would have accepted
the offer.
The secrets of the cabinet councils are beIng -
Ing well kept this year , but some tilings
leak out. It may bo taken for
granted that no important changes in
the ministry have been decided on , Although
the sudden appearance to-night at tlio Carl
ton club of Lord Randolph Churchill gave
rise to a good many rumors. It may also be
repeated that no scheme of the Irish land
jmrchaso has been adopted and almost anj
Bchomo which may bo submitted will mcel
with much opposition from the conservative
ranks If It must involve state aid. To thai
the conservatives , as a body , are opposed
' .This question will bo a very dangerous ono tc
handle.

business details of the publication of hit

which was fallen into with the Americar

[ Cojij/rfy/it tS87liu JuintK fiimliin Jlfnnelt. ]
PAW ? , Nov. 9 ( Via Havre ) [ New York
herald Cable. Special to Iho Hcts. | The fol-
owlng triangular conversation took place
yesterday during Mr. Hlalno's visit to Presi
dent Grevy nt the Ulyseo palace whore ho
was accompanied by Minister McLano.
/ resident Grevy , after shaking hands fnml-
lurly with McLnne , said to Huilno , "How
Iocs It happen , Mr. Ulaine , that occupying
such a prominent position as you do , you still
Ind time enough to travel about And amuse
yourself in Europol"
To this Mr. Hlalne replied In English , "I
lave no official prominence In the United
States but still I am a political man and I am
enabled to come abroad , thanks to the efforts
of the democratic party and Mr. McLano's
friends , who managed to prevent me from
occupying the presidential chair--a position
which , permit mo to say , I could not have oc
cupied as gracefully as Mr. Grovy occupies
lis own. "
Mr. Hlnlno then turned to Mr. MeLiinoand
said , "Will you kindly translate that to the
irestdentl"
Mr. McLnno did so in fluent and diplomatic
French , and with a sly smile , added , "And I
mvo never had occasion to repent of having
: aken such action that is to say , politically
opiwsing niiiino. "
Mr. McLimothen told Mr. Hlnlno what ho
Inul Just told the president. Whereupon Mr.
Elaine immediately rejoined , "Please tell the
ircsident that I have none the less respect
'or you on that account , "
President Grovy then shook botli McLano
ind Hlaiao warmly by the hand and said
. athor sadly , "I regret that in my own coun-
ry it is a rare sight indeed to see two polit
ical opponents on such excellent terms. "
To-day the president sent his card to Mr.
lilalno's hotel as nn acknowledgement of
Maine's visit. After his visit to the president
Mr. Hlnlne became loquacious and last night
10 passed an hour with ex-Congressman John
13. Alley , of Boston , who is staying nt the
Hotel Chatham. It seems that Mr. Hlnlno
leard , through a common friend hero , that
Alley was partial lo him anel his nomination.
So Blnino immediately culled upon him at
ills hotel and gave him much of his confi
dence , During the conversation Hlnino
suid : "I have had the best physicians in
London and Paris , who have pronounced mete
to bo In perfect health and condition , I nui
luito assured of my reiiomination , but
should I not bo elected I would not even
give up politics. I consider tUo senatorship
of a good sound statu equal , if not superior ,
to the presidency AS A position worth seeking.
All I want now is perfect rest and quiet. "

Prnpnrliifj For Winter.
Among tlio principal drawbnclcfl lo
success nntl hnpphicpson northern faring
are the long ami severely cold winters.
During at least u third , of the year , in
this locality , inout ( armors can not employ -
ploy their time in sueih a manner that
ihoy can receive imiricdiato remunera
tion for their labor. A few living in
the vicinity of ( crests can find employ
ment for themselves and their loams in
drawing lumber. A still smaller num
ber can earn money in cutting ami haul
ing ice. Hut , as a general rule , farmers
have no employment during thu wiutor
excepting taking care of their live
stock , This use of time is , of course ,
necessary , though it brings nothing but
a promise of reward. However well
cared for , no kind o ( farm animals gain
much during the winter. Generally
they will weigh no moro in the spring
than they did at the time they were
taken into winter quarters. They eat a
largo amount of grain , liny and other
kinds of fodder , but their consumption
only serves to supply the waste in the
system to produce the necessary degree
of bodily heat. A part of the farmer's
lime may bo spent in procuring and
preparing fuel for the house , but there
is no return for this labor except the
comfort insured by warmth.
A farmer cannot produce much dur
ing the winter , but ho can save a largo
amount if ho takes the right course.
Whatever will save food iu the stable or
feeding-yard , or lesson the amount of
fuel consumed in the house , will bo in
the nature of a gain. If the stable , or
that part of it where animals are kept ,
is so prepared that the snow and wind
cannot pass into it , and the feeding-
yard is sheltered , animals will eat much
less food than they will if they are exposed
' '
posed to storms nn'd the cold. 'Much of
the food consumed by all kinds of uni-
mtils during cold weather is used in pro
ducing vital heal , and the colder the air
is to which they are exposed tlio moro
food they require for this purpose. An
imals that do not work , and take little
exercise during the winter , and those
that give no milk w.ill require a com
paratively small amount ' of food if they
are kept in warm q'uartera. They will ,
of course , need the amount of fooei that
is required to niako blood to.supply the
waste that is constantly going em in the
system , but they will , require but little
to produce boely lioHtj Animals can bo
kept warm by affording them protection
from the cold or b\nho ) consumption of
food. The last is uu expensive method.
Tlio bolter the interior of the house is
protected from currents of air the easier
it will bo to keep ty comfortable. A
farm house is nocos > avily oxposcel to the
wind , and on that ncount it is moro
dilllcult to keep it wavui than a dwelling
in a city or village. Special pains
should therefore bo taken not only to
break the force of 'the winel that 'will
blow against it , but to render it tight.
A banking of some kind that will reach
from the surface of the ground to a con
siderable distance above the lower floor
will prevent the wind from blowing
under the house , and will also prevent
the outward pasago of heat. This pro
tection can bo formed of straw or corn
stalks covered with earth. The former
contains or incloses air , which is the
poorest conductor of heat , and are so
clean that they will not soil the wood
work by being in contact with it. The
earth will hold the straw or corn-stalks
in place , and when frozen will carry olT
rain that falls upon it. Lath to which
strips of old woolen cloth are attached
can bo nailed against the frames of
doors anel windows that are not
opened duringtho _ winter. A temporary
or storm-door is ot great value in keep
ing out cold anel show.
A great saving of fuel , whether it bo
wood or coal , may bo effected by getting
it to the house before very cole ! and wet
weather begins and placing it under
cover. Fuel that contains considerable
moisture makes a poor fire , while much
heat is required to put in a condition to
burn. The artificial drying of fuel is
an expensive process , but ono that
everyone carries on who burns green
wood or any kind of fuel that is exposed
to rain and snow. It is poor economy
to use ono stick of wood or ono lump of
coal to dry another so that it will bo in
a condition to bo burned. It is also
poor economy to defer obtaining fuel
till roads become bad or impassable and
the weather severely cold. Fuel is
poorer then than it is earlier in the
season , and is likely to bo in a poorer
condition. In buying coal in the winter
emo is likely to have to pay for consid
erable water , snow and ice. These have
to bo hauled to the house , whore they

fort.From
From the time the late rains fall till
the ground settles In the spring the
land about the farm house is hkoly to bei
in very bad condition for walking over.
If it is not covered with snow and ice it
is generally muddy ojv , very soft. The
soil sticks to the fqot and is often
brought into the hou o. The moisture
cauttos boots and shoes ; to become wet
whenever ono passes out of doors. Many
colds are produced in , consequence of
the feet becoming wot. Plain walks
made of two-inch fplank placed on
scantlings will do muc towards obviat
ing those troubles.ivph a walk should
extend from the 011191- door most gener
ally used to the wolltl\e \ privy , and barn.
Being smooth , hard , und elevated from
the ground it is easy to keep it frco ol
snow. Such wnlks posit but little and
will last for many ycar.s. They prevent
wet feet anel wivo much work in the
hoiibo. It is impossibly to introduce all
the comforts of thoci , yor village into
the country , but it is. practical to secure
more things that conduce to enjoyment
than most farmers of good means pro
vide. _

How Slici'i > Pay.
American Agriculturist : If n fnrtnor
has plenty of patience and is willing to
giva close nttontlon to details in the
c'tiro of stock ho can make money for
food consumed from sheep thtin 'from
any other stock. Hut not ono farmer in
ton will care to give thorn the attention
they require nt n certain seasons of the
year ; so the few who do take good care
of n Hock will find n good market for
mutton , and a demand for wool at some
price , usually enough to pay for winter
ing stock. A farm which is rolling in
its surface seeing perfectly adapted to
sheep raising. Such land needs grass
on the hill topn to keep it from washing
anel hoop need hill tops and shbrtswcot
grass. They like to lie down on iv hill
top in the spring , whore the mm makes
the ground dry and warm , and where
they are protected from the cold sweep
of tlio wind.
The greatest profit from sheep Is not
in mutton or wool , but in the cnnaneod
fertility of the farm on which they are
kept. No other stock can compare with
sheep in this direction. This increased
value comes from two causes : The
largo quantity of solid anil liquid ma
nure ) deposited on all the land , and par
ticularly on the highest and poorest
points in the pasture. Tlio manure , being -
ing well scattered , is pressed about
the roc p of the grass , whore it gives
the greatest possible bcnellt. Another-
source whereby the grasses are encour
aged is the destruction of bushes and
many kinds of weeds which g.iow where
cattle and horses only are pastured.
Ilazlo brush fares very badly in the
sheep pasture , and wild roses , rag weed ,
burdocks and other weeds are selected
first and then the sheep look for grass.
In this way a .sheep pasture becomes
like a beautiful lawn , and every year
grows better ; but if the farmer ' 'mil '
lions in sheep , " nnd overstocks his
Holds , then the grass goes with the
bushes and weeds. Thou the sheep got
poor , tumblp down ono after another ,
their ambition losses as their flesh goes ,
tmd the unfortunate owner , or impru
dent iiuumror , votes sheep a perfect
nuisance.
Drainage ami Droughts.
LIVINGSTON , Cheyenne county , Neb. ,
Nov. 1. [ To the Editor of the Chicago
Times : ] Wo have noticed the contro
versy in regard to the olTocts of the
drainage which has boon talcing place
between correspondents of the Times ,
and we will give our opinion of the mat
ter if you will accept a word from a
frontiersman. Wo claim that that tile
drainage is mainly the cause of tlio
drought the present season , and bias our
opinion on this scientific art : The more
moisture on the earth's surface the
greater the evaporation will bo. hence
moro abundant rainfalls. Science certainly
tainly is in error if the draining of the
ponds , swamps and marshes has no
elTect on the atmosphere. Some will
admit this fact , and yet claim : "I is
not fully demonstrated yet. " What do
people require for convincing argu
ment11 ! There has not been a good crop
season in Illinois for live or six yearsaml
before that there was but little til
ing , nnd mneOj in proportion to the
amount of draining done , the extremes
of seasons have increased. As there is
little or no evaporation taking place in
the drained regions , it becomes neces
sary to depend entirely upon the ocean
rain cloud for moisture. This comes ir
regularly and in Hoods , nnd is immedi
ately carried away by the drains. There
being no water on the earth's surface ,
there is no attraction for these clouds ,
hence they follow the Btroiiins anil
waterways , leaving the inland withouta
drop of ruin for months at a time , as it
did in portions of Illinois the present
season.
Some ask the question , why it is that
the drought is equally severe in south
ern Michigan , where ponds and lakes
arc so numorous'r1 The reason is because
it borders an ariel region , and the pre
vailing wind is from the south in the
summer , and carries the vapor perhaps
one hundred miles before it is con-
elonsud. Another reason is , these winds
have blown for hundreds of miles ovcra
dry and , waterless country , so after
striking these ponds and'lakes they
travel a considerable distance before
accumulating moisture sullicienttomako
them of their usual density.
To the gentleman' who spoke of his
daughters in southern Dakota writing
of "abundant ruins , " wo would pay per
haps his children live in a bolt of coun
try blessed as a certain portion of Ne
braska was. Wo know of a strip of
country where some cornfields would
produce forty or fifty bushels to the
acre , while ten or twelve miles either
north or south there is not ono bushel
on one hundred acres of corn. In this
country ono can estimate very nearly
as to the amount of rainfall wo will
have during a summer by the amount
of snow which falls on the mountains
southwest of here the previous winter.
During the summer months the snow
melts , and a portion of it passes olT iu
evaporation , which gives us almost
daily rains , as the prevailing wind is
from that direction. Were it not for
these mountains and the snow , our
country would bo as dry n that of Illi
nois , Iowa and southern Michigan , oven
if our country was half covered with
lakes and marshes.

Hints null
A general burning of wheat stubble
in the chinch bug districts will destre > y
millions of germs now that will bo vo
racious bugs next summer.
Every weed occupies the space in
which some plant more valuable should
bo growing , anel the farmer cannot af
ford to give them the space they ro-
Yearling trees are , of course , small ,
but desirable in certain cases ; they will
usually bo from ono to two feet in
length , without branches ; and 1,000 of
thorn packed for shipment will weigh
about four hundred pounds.
Ono hundred dollars worth of cheese
takes from the farm less than ono-sov-
enth the fortilitv taken by $100 worth
of grain , while 4100 worth of butter if
the skim milk bo fed on the farm takes
nothing from the soil.
Fall-made butter is always preferred
to that of summer , because tlio weather
being cool the milk is kept nt the proper
temperature to raise the cream in the
best condition , making butter of great
solidity , and the grasses that start after
the fall rains give it a line llavor.
The old way of picking apples in a
sack is not the best. A basket is pre
ferable , and a hook of some kind should
bo fastened to the handle by a stout
cord. The hook would allow the basket
to Ixi hung on a limb often , giving Iho
picker the use of both hands.
r It is not necessary that a pig-house
should not freeze , but it is necessary that
tlio air should bo free from elampness
and the chilliness which is connected
with a cellar or warm , damp place.
Hogs nro very susceptible to colds , both
inward and outward , and to rheumatism.
Trees from distant nurseries can bo
ordered wxfoly in the full , and if packed
properly they will come in the befct con
dition. As there will usually be no
pejeial hurry , they can como by freight ,
and tho. transportation will not bo very
expensive. They carry best in boxes ' ,

pnoklng trees and plants , as it retains
moisture for along tlmo and never honls.
Outside of the moss , however , which is
put next the roots , considerable stra\f is
used , rye being the host for the purpose.
The straw prevents bruising.
Some farmers attribute the disease
known as weak loins in hogs to lying In
hot horse manure. It is a rhematio
trouble , which may bo cured by active
and continued rubbing. It may also bo
cured by exorcise and fresh air , but it
is bettor still to give the fresh air and
exorcise first , and thus prevent the ap
pearance of tlio dlsciwo.
If your work bo of a heavy nature nnd
largo and powerful horses bo required
to do it , then select suoh stallions to
servo your mares , no matter what the
cost. It may bo more expensive at the
start , but it will bo cheaper in the end.
Breeding has bion brouirht down to
such a certainty that the results can bo
foretold very closely.
The solid * of Iho milk aro. what call
for or uso. up the food of the animal. It
makes little difference with the food
consumed whether a cow puts a pound
of butter or two ppunns of checso into a
pailful of milk , or diffused it through
two. The difference between the two
kinds of milk is water , and this costs
nothing and'carrles a like value.
The exposure of cows for an hour or
two on cold days causes Iho consump
tion and loss of many dollars worth of
foe > d during the winter , liosldod it is
much better that animals should bo
able to drink without Interference
from others , and this can only bo done
by putting the water before the animal
as it stands in Iho stall.
The mutton breeds of shuop have
boon wonderfully improved within the
past twenty yearn. At nn Knglish exhi
bition Hampshire lambs le-ss than two
months old averaged 231 ! pounds ciu-h
and gained over three-quarters of a
pound per day from birth. Two vears
ago at the Illinois state fair , a Oirejo-
yenr-old Oxford Down ram was exhib
ited that weighed ) pounds. To make
the mutton breeds pay Iho farmer must
aim to produce something superior , and
thus obtain not only heavier carcasses
but a higher price per pound for quality ,
d Ashes should never bo loft exposed to
the rains. They should bo kept under
cover or scattered at once over the land.
The potash in ashes is very soluble and
is easily dissolved out , Uy carefully
preserving the nshes they may bo used
as a special fortilixor on clover , pota
toes , or on fields dolicie'iit in alkaline
substance. They should never bo added
to the manure heap.

had resulted in the adhesion of Italy. Another
important factor was tlio fact that public

Catarrh Cured
Catarrh Is a very prevalent disease , with
distressing and offensive symploms. Hood's
Sarsaparilla gives ready relief and speedy
cure , from tlio ( act It acls through tlio blood ,
and thus reaches every part of the system.
" I suffered with catarrh fifteen years. Took
Hood's Sarsaparilla nnd I nni not troubled any
with catarrh , and my general health Is miicli
better. " I. W. LILI.IS , 1'ostal Clerk Chicago
& St. Louts llallroad.
" I suffered with catarrh C or 8 years i tried
many wonderful cures , Inhalers , etc. , spend
ing nearly ono hundred dollars without benefit.
I tried ] food's Sarsaparilla , and was greatly
Improved. " II. A. Animv , Worceslcr , Mass.
Ilood'i Sarsaparilla Is characterized by
three peculiarities : 1st , the combination ot
remedial agents ; 2dtho proportion ; 3d , the
process of securing the active medicinal
qualities. The result Is a medicine of unusual
strength , effecting cures hitherto unknown.
