Qat from the steam, the coils of the worms are extended into a great 'serpent, which is eaeiroling in its cruel folds a helpless f unity. A chubby boy lies oruehed to .leath by the serpent's •!olde around Lia body. A little, bare - prated, lightly•olad, pleadiug-feoed,little girl, clings to her mother's skirt. The mother bolds a little baby in one arm while with the other she graepe the throat of the monster, whose coils are around her little ernes, and whose forked tongue and erect fangs are threatening her life. The picture is thrilling and saddeuiag,6and an explanation is given below in the following poem, written by Will Charletoq. THE SERPENT OF THE STILL. , The tempter, as God'e legends tell— Allowed on earth to roam— Crushed that which woman love so well, Her sweet and sacred home. From Eden, lost through his black art, j She wandered out forlorn ; She pureed him in her gentle heart, With meek, but deadly acorn. And since, in varied guise of cin, He works his hateful will, And re -appears today within The serpent, of the still.. He comes not now in subtle mood— With smiles as long ago— Enticing her by honeyed food, And mysteries she may know ; He makes insulting, swift advance Into her bright home nest, Admitted and embraced, perchance. Be those she loves the best. He brings the world where he must dwell Her days and nights to 11:1, Transmuting Paradise tq hell— This serpent of the still, He twines about her trembling life, And soils it with his slime; He tills the hours with foolish strife, He sows the seed of crime. And poverty, and fierce disease, And hunger and disgrace, And death by death-euipanged degrees, Are in hie oold embrace. To grieve, to hurt, to rend, to smite. To ruin and to k'll, Are leaden links of his delight— The serpent of the still. the, yard 1 t eerly eprirg an alit to- in• duce rotting.

Valued chemically, these 60,- 135 lb. of fertilizers are worth at least $2,000, irrespective of the humus and of those materials usu- ally not valued as direct fertilizers on the market. One-fourth by weight is actually line, and this to be used upon soil abouuding iu the mineral itself,where there is at least one per cent. of it ; one-fifth is solu- ble silica, and of that oar average field contains a sufficient proportion; one-seventh is potash, and when the soil of this,,,arm has only about .086 per cent. (the twelfth p in of one per cent.,) its value can be appre- ciated ; one -twelfth of the manure is phosphoric acid, so that its impor- tance will be seen in a soil contain- ing .040 per cent. of that material. Of chlorine the manure -has an abundance; ,proportionately as we offer so much salt to all our animals. As nitrogen with phosphoric acid and potash are the main elements of cultivated plant life, I think it will surprise some to note the large amoant of nitrogen we are receiving per farmyard manure, one-eighth by weight of the whole. And who will contend that thus, in asssociation with other fertilizers, it is not very much more valuable and safe than by the use of nitrate of soda, or other special agenoy 7 Nitrogen in farmyard manure is thus equivalent to 34 lb. per acre per season of our actually cropped area, or 24 lb, for every acre under cultivation. We have no exact experiments to show how much our average ctopping re- moves annually, but from experience elsewhere it cannot be over 30 lb., so that we seen to be accumulating rather than losing, and I believe this to be the fact. , Altogether, then, en the question of our valuation of manure• in pre- vious years it appears that 83.50 per ton, as above, is $1 more than what was asked in connection with the fattening of store cattle.

GENERAL AL Foon.—Our regulating food for all cattle is prepared thrice a week,arid consists of 40 Ib. pulped turnips or •mangels, 15 lb. cut hay and three lb. of bran, per head daily On an av-erage.of kind andage. These foods are mixed in a heap about four feet deep, and used before much heating or during the sweet stage of fermentation, which is usually when the temperature reaches 79 ° , The nutritive ratio of this mixture is 1:5.9, and the market cost 16 cents per head per day the cost to the farmer is about 9 cents. Water is given'about 40 ° , and the stable is never over 50 0 , with proper venti- lation. The breathing space for each animal is about 900 cubic feet. CUT HAY.—A saving, estimated at 12 per cent. in feeding horses and 30 per cent. for sheep, was realized last winter with cut hay. The ani- mals cannot leave any amongst their feet,and theyeat more of the rougher portions. STEAM POWER.—A 17 -horsepower portable engine, with a 20 -inch French but rstone mill, grinds 30 bushels of pease or barley in ono hour at a cost of one cent per bush., including every possible cost. The sante ;tower drives hay -cutter and root-pulper both' at the same time, and in less than two hours prepares the food named in first paragraph, being 2,000 Ib. hay and 6,000 lb. roots. The cost of this is 35 cents per ton, cr one and one-half cents per head of cattle daily, inclnding interest on cost of engine, fuel, tear and wear, oil, engineer, two -hands at hay -cutter, two at pulper, and two at nixing the food. Ic'E.—I'or creamery and college use we harvest about 401) tons every year; placing a fall value upon every- thing, - if5cluding teams, men and student labor, and, having had to haul nearly one and one-half miles, ice has cost ns 60 cents a ton. MANURE. ---With an uncovered court, where cattle;horse, and sheep manure, is regularly mixed, where catt c are exercised every day over the ntanare, where gypsum is syste- matically used in cattle stalls,where all surface liquid is caught in a tank, where drains from staple take -liquid to tank also, and where the liquid can be appl'ed to the Manure pile es required, there is during winter practically no waste by evaporation, washing away, or over -fermentation. Rut -much snow lying long 1•etards proper decotupesition Ot• materials and necessitates h tuning to pil',s in fields in winter., or t.m'ning„ over in Of a Iwtace,enn.ful bslsiness career, 'wit)* whet bth doctura saitt was an Incu!t- able disease.

Hie fight, too, bas been a determin- ed one, and assuccessful as determin- ed. To -day he is the head of the lar- gest proprietary medicine in the world, having branch houses and la- boratories in London, Bug.; Toronto, Cauaea; Melbourne,Vietoria; Sydney, New South Wales; Frankford, Ger- many; Prague, Austria; Ruugoon, Burmah. Many foreign governments will not permit the manufacture and sale of proprietary medicines of any name or nature until their formulae,value and harmlessness aro by them established, after the moat searching, scientific inquiries. In every case Warner's sate cure has passed examination with the highest satisfaction to the government chemists and analysts, and the sought -for permission has been granted, which no other Ameri- can has secured. This confirms the magnificent re- putation given it by leading physi- cians, ministers, senators, congress- men, lawyers and ladies of the world. "Its secret of success," says the lead- ing physicians at Clifton Springs, N. Y., sanitarium, "is the simplicity of its compounds and the proportions in which they are compounded," How do people get on. The universal verdict is, We don't miss the telephoue except to our prtlfit. There has been practically no break in the united opposition begun in November. Tho American is getting to be quite as tenacious of his personal rights as against conspiring mono- polies as is the typical EngIi hman, and this Rochester telephone episode is a noteworthy illustration of the fact.

CASTO It is popularly supposed that colts need "breaking in," a process by which the young animal is subdued, and rendered subservient to the will of man. But, as a matter of fact, only those need to be "broken in" that have been rendered wild and intractable by the stupid mismanage- ment of their breeders and owners,who first teach these young animals evil tricks and then go to work to reform them. This is how a colt is usually brought up: He , is allowed to run at large with his dam, but forms uo acquaintance with human beings, Pretty much all he knows about boys and men is that they bit him with a whip whenever he comes within their reach, and that they are always making some horrid noise or other to frighten him away from places where he should not be. He has no idea of man being his friend, provider and protector. He grows up to keep out of his way as much as possible. At last the time comes when his services are wanted. Then he is I chased around the field or barn -yard worried and frightened, cornered, .caught..aud .tied. with ....n .strong.zo.pe.. He does not know what is wanted of him, and consequently has no idea how to act. " He is nervous, awkward and gets excited, The consequence is that he does what he ought not to he, gets chastised, resists, and gets chastised more ;and at last gives up in a sort of sullen despair and lets his tormenters do what they like with him. He is obedient from tear, and can render no intelligent service, be- cause he has not been instructed hose to dolt. He is liable to run away if he gets a chance, to kick if anything strikes his heels, and do all manner of objectionable things just when good behaviour would be of most value. But he has not been taught what good is. He has first been trained to wildness, and then, all at once, man has asserted and established a tyrannical supremacy over him which is gilding, and from which it is natur- al that he should wish to escape. More than all other animals, not even excepting the dog, the horse is formedfor friendship with roan, and from the earliest period of bis life the colt should be trained to love and trust every human being about him. Boys and hired men should be made to treat colts with the utmost kind- ness. It is education that colts need," and this they should have from the earliest period of their babyhood. Their confidence should be won by kind treatment." They should be handeled from the first, petted, car- essed and fondled. They have a wonderfuly affectionate .nature, and through it may be taught whatever it is neceesary they should know. The very first summer of their lives they should be haltered and led about at will, and instead of being left to run around the barnyard all winter, should be stabled in loose stalls;often haltered and handeled, and every means used to prevent their ever becoming wild. Under this treatment they learn to regard those who handle and feed them with a warm friend• ship. It becomes their ambition to win their approval, as expressed by a kind worst, a caress, the gift of an apple or some little dainty ; and when service is wanted, they are de- lighted' to render it. Thus treated, they need no "breaking"—all they want is education or training. far infants and Children. o'V ator*aissowelladaptedtoebtidr'efthat CIutarla cares Collo, Constipation, [ recommend It as superior to any prescription Sour stomach, Diarrhoea, Eructation, known to me: * Pc- A.

On the day before her death she was seized with a more violent paroxysm than ever before. There was a choking in her throat, and finally there was forced up from her stomach a live young snapping -turtle with a shell as large as a silver half -dollar. The physician in attendancesaid the patient became unconscious and, almost immediately began to swell in her limbs like one afflicted with dropsy. She never ral- lied.

REMMBEER T1IE STAND—OPPOSITE THE MARKET. a, A VALIANT FIGHT. I10W ROCHESTER, N. Y., WRESTLED WITH TIIE TELEPHONE AND WON, Rochester, N. Y., is the only city in the United States, which does not generally use the Bell telephone. Oa the 20th November, 1886,about seven hundred subscribesrs hung up their 'phones, and they have been up since. It is the most noteworthy fight with a corporation every known. The cause of it was the attempt of the local Bell Company, (whose offi- cers all lived in another city,) to ex- acta'rate;per message from the sub- scribers, instead of a "flat':rate."— The people resisted it, the court sus- tained the position that the license was revokable at will, the Common Council revoked it. The "Company ignored this action, and, without per- mission, erected poles into the streets and strung additional wires ; but the court held this was unlawful. According to the message 'rates, a house like H. H. Warner & Co., pro- prietors of Warner's safe cure, who were among the heaviest patrons, would have to pay something like x;1,000 a Bear for the same telephone service as hefnre. • For the city of 125,000 people, Rochester bas made a good many sensations, Sam Patch and his dead- ly leap, the Fox sister's spiritual rap - pings, Seward's "Irrepressible con- flict" speech, Susan B. Anthony's at- tempt to vote, the cemetery discov- eries of Dr Swift, of Warner obser- vatory, have each made the city the talk of the world ; she leads in the manufacture of proprietary medicine, and her immense nursery, shoe and clothing interests put her in the front rants.

CONSUMPTION CURABLE. It cannot be too often impressed on every one that the much dreaded consumption, (which is only lung scrofula), is curable; if attended to at once, and that the primary symptoms so often mistaken as signs of diseased lungs, are only symptosis of an un- healthy liver. To •this organ the symptom is indebtr d for pure , blood, and to pure blood the lungs are in- debted no leas than to pure air for healthy actiou. If the, former is pol- luted, we have the hacking cough,tbe hectic flush, night sweats,and a whole train of symptoms resembling eon- symption. house the liyer to heal- thy action by use of Dr Pierce's Gol- ders Medical Discovery, take healthy exercise, live in the open air, and all sumptorns of consumption will disap- pear. For weak lungs, spitting or blood, r,hortness of breath, chronic nasal catarrh, bronchitis, asthma, severe coughs, and kindred affection, itis a most wonderful remedy.
