About November old cow beef begins to be taken to market by farmers and sold by the quar- ter. By December, it is a drug in the market, and this usually continues till into .January. Farmers sell it at any price they tan get, This depresses the prices of bet. ter qualities of beef. The reason so much poor beef ie rushed into market in late fall and early winter is, that when cold weather comes on and foddering oominenoee, the farmer, having the two together, takes mental account of his live stock and his ,stock of fodder. Should the latter seem noteuffcieat to carry the former through until grass than grow again, some of the live stook must be sacrificed, if need be, for if the farmer hetes to do any one little thing worse than another, he hates to be compelled to buy hey in the spring. This is generally regarded as evidence of a poor farm or a poor farmer, so, to avoid this mortification, some of the stock must go, and, if • there are possible beef' animals amoug the lot, they aro the first to be dis- posed of. Such transactions are intensified when hay i0 dear, or likely to be, as ib is most certain tobo next winter. The thoughtful farmer will consider his situa- ation and decide now; then, if any stook is to be beefed, he will from now on haudle it with the end in view of getting it into market before the inflow of old cow beef commences. BestUss Fara POOP Milker. A friend asked me in a letter the other day hew to manage a cozy wltioh ie an nn profitable dairy animal, thatusuaIly dries •off in the fall. His desire is to beef her. Butter is very low. I would dry her immediately; then pub her in a dark, coed stable whore flies would not bother, soil her and push her with grain for all there fain it, and then sell her as soon as I could get four and ono -half aonte.He can grind any grain together he may have—corn, wheat, oats and barley—but corn should'. be a considerable portion. I would cut 'a portion of the soiling material, and mix this " chop" with it as feed. If there is no soiling crop, I would feed her hay and add to chop some oiloake meal or flax -seed jelly. With all dry feed this will keep the bowels in fine condition, and make the coat.amoobh and glossy. If there is no. other' soiling material, grass growing along fence rows or ou the lawn could be utilized for this purpose, and relieve the drying pasture or haymow that muoh. But if this extra Dare cannot be given couvient• ly, and she mueb be turned to pasture with the other animals, I would grain her just the same, now thab pasturage' is getting dry and woody. Li this case it would take a longer time to fatten her, and you would be at e, greater expense for grain. Pork is high and likely to remain well up atleast• lamb and mubbon bring a good price, and the ordinary farmer's ' home made" beef hoe got to come to a point to meet theprides of those.—Dr. Galen Wilson. Mutton Sheep. • There f0 a phase of eheep•raioing whioh, while requiring bub little ea/Atli to eon - duet, may bo made more profitable than any other branch of the business, It is in raising good mutton aud lamb for Salo, where emhll flocks oan be kept within ton or fifteen miles of it market Good mutton aud lamb 'elle higher in rho butcher shops than either beef or pork, by ream of its greater scarcity' gore is a chanes, then, for small fanners living near our oiti a and town', to raise mutton and lamb' of good quality and dispose of the same et tiptop prime, without the intervention of the Middlemen to divide the profits or any cost for transportation. Alt suoltfarmorit could keep from bwonby to thirty head of mutton sheop 00 0 greater comparative profit than from any other stook on the farm, Of 000000, not by allowing thorn to run out day and night and be at the moray of eheep- ug doge, bet keeping them in a eon- vepiont pasture in sight of the house through the day and regularly peuniog them iu the barnyard with tllo`oows at night—Me strange dog ever venturing Jlt rho aow.ya4d et night for fear Of their horn!?. Another thing, if every fanner living in tite came neighborhood kept more or less sheep, such u thing as a slieep.k'ille ing dog would rarely ever be heard of --le pup raised in such oommunity,frmn being aoou0tomod to the eight of animate of tiro kind, being as unlikely to inure them 00 If they were children of hie mosber'o own household. Of oonrse, a femme who pays' no atten- than to his sheep by.allowing them to ramble about at will must expect to lose most of them, Bat the Draft on a small flock of twenty-five or Thirty owes of any of the mutton breeds is, or ought to be, a sufficient indnoemenb to any farmer to bestow the requisite caro to keep them in the beet possible condition to Insure it. He would soon find that for no greater investment it would pay him a greater profit than any other stook on his farm. If be sees proper, ha could sbarb with a few .common ewes and a ram of any of the mutton breed'', and by keeping the boob formed ewe lambs of tine cross, sell off the more indifferent of the older ewes and all the ram lambs. Thou by repeating this practice for three or four years—getting a new ram, fatten- ing and diepoaing of the old stools and supplying their places with younger animals of his own raising—he would soon be enabled to so improve his flock of mutton sheep as to snake it worth double the same number of the original stock, while the annual profit from the sale, of lambs, old sheep, and wool will havereturn- ed him a larger oornparative compen- sation en tho investment than anything !lee on the farm. Making • a New Use of One's Garden. • A gentleman advertised lately that his garden he the country, with the hospitality of afternoon .tea, would bo open. every Saturday for working men from London England. A gentlemen who describes a visit appears to have had hie doubts whether the whole affair was not a hoax— an apprehension shared by hie travelling companion. This idea ' was corroborated by the behaviour of a rural policeman of whom they inquired the way to their des- tination, and who had already been similare ly questioned by eleven gentlemen' of the road—all, as 10 turned out, their fellow. guests. However, they found all was well when arrived at their journey's end ; the garden a pretty one, the host most gracious, and a generous license as regarded tobacco.. Upon the whole, the experiment appears to hare been completely successful. It is easy to see that the result of this'wholeeole benevolence might be very embarrassing,. but no sort of hitch appears to have taken place. EGGS AND POULTRY. A Market rot Eggs in the United kingdom at Good 'Prices.. The Dominion Government have issued a report on thepoultryindustryand egg trade which *ill be found most useful to poultry raisers and intereetin to the general reader. As to the gg trade, the statistics furnished by Mr. George Johnson, Domin- ion statistician, 'how that the export to large and increasing. The most important market, of course, is the home one, but the trade returns. of 1893 show that, besides supplying her own market, Canada export. ed in that year 6,805,432 dozen of eggs, of a value of 5868,007; live poultry' to the value of 561,127, and poultry dressed or undressed to the value of 520,840. The principal cuetomereof Canada, with whioh the others can not compare, are Great Britain and bhe. United States, the former baking the hulk of the trade. In 1893 Canada exported' to the United Kingdom 4,104,632 dozen eggs, valued at $538,944, while to the United Statea she sent 4,021,• 637 dozen, valued at$510,594. Up to 1890 the United States was the best customer of Canada, but the McKinley tariff of 1891 caused agreat falling oil', as the following table will show: Doz. Eggs.

The effeot of the. McKinley law is seen in the three years 1891, 1892 and 1893. Canada finding that she wall losing the United.

The supply is drawn from France, Resaia,,. Sweden, Denmark, Germ any,liolland, Bel.

Whatever doubt there may he se to the provalenoo of tuberegloeis among the Cana, dian herds, there bee beenno question that the disease is epidemic in many ports of the neighboring republic, Doe of the mere read at the recent meeting of the United States Veterinary Medical Association in Philadelphia throws same light upon the subject, The writer attributes the spread of tuberculosis among cattle mainly to the foot that their constitutions are injured by oonflnoment to hot stables during the sum - It= and winter menthe. There to much to be said in support of this view. In the de, sire to increase the yield of milk and butter, fat animals are Arnim Tx moss RetamaL'ne and fed with milk•produoing foods. Little or no exerela0 is given theta, the purpose being to reduce them to mere dairy machines. Nature did not intend them for that purpose, and eh:wagunutty further development in that direction is frequent. ly blocked- the cattle plagues. It is noticeable that in he South, where euoh cattle as they have live almost altogether outdoors, tuberculosis is praobiaally un- known. Tho same. may, be sold of the Western States among live shook that is rarely stabled: Approaching the Missiasippi river tine disease becomes more prevalent, specially an;ong highly -bred and closely. hoesedherds. Where cattle are so oftuat- ed and specially fed for the purpose of yielding milk 'to their utmost oapaaity tuberculosis is enormously increased, both in frequency and virility. In New liing. land one to two per dent. of the cattle are iufeoted, while in Eastern Messaohueette the proportion is probably from three to five per cent. Nearly, all the authorities agree that hot ambling, whioh is' resorted to for the purpose o£' increasing the supply of milk, is THE 00050(080 OAD'E of the disease, Nothing will reduce the vitality of the animal and the inherent resistance to 'disease more than jack' of exercise. A climate 'suchas we have in the higher lands of Canada has a tend- ency to bring about special chest develop- ment; and evelop-ment;'and whfle'that is no doubt desirable, it necessitates for the sustenance of life a much more complete and active respiration than might otherwise be. required. The fast is that cattle; like moat other, living things, thrive beet under healthful. audi- tions. It may be possibletoobtain from an animal confined more milk and butter. fat than from onethat has greeter freedom, but, if we are to believe the experts, the pewees is contrary' to all, physiological and hygienic laws, and constitutes an enormous drain upon the invaluable reserve , forced that can never be replaced. ,AMERICA'S CUSTOMERS FOR COAL. England and Yet the Milted States Sup phos Aho South American Markets. The distance between Liverpool and the nearest port in South America is about. three times as great as that from New York olty to the nearest port in the 'same contin- ent.'Notwithstaudiog this fact and the prodigious supply of American coal, the South American states and those of Central America and the West Indies usually get their opal from •England. and not from the United States, According to recent official' figures loss than 1,000 tons of American coal was exported from the United States to Brazil in a year, against 700,000 tone of British coal. The greater part of the Eng. liah coal exported to Brazil is shipped from Cardiff, the market prius in Brazil being about 510 a ton, Brazilian money. New castle coal in England sells in Brazil for about 512.50 a ton. The : Argentine republic does an enormous trade with foreign countries. The amount of coal it imports is large and constantly inoreaaing and sixth sevenths of it comes from England. Less than ten per cent. coma from United States. Bel- gium aud France also furnish some. The Amount of American coal imported tis lees than 2,000 tons a year. About 3,000 tons. of American coal, most of it anthracite, is exported to Chili in a year against 150,000 tons of English coal, Peru, lees progressive, takes no American coal but buys 60,000 tons of English coal annually. The exports. of American coal to the West Indies amount to 200,000 tons a year. The largest exporte to Martinique, are thus accounted for t 40,000 tons annually to the French steamers, 20,000 tous to the sugar refineries, and 10,. 000 tons for the use of the French local authorities. The import duty is about eighty Gente'a ton. American and Buglieh coal sell at the mama figure, 58 a ton duty included. Tho English exports of coal to the 'Vicat Indies are less than those of the United States and amount to 165,000 tons a. year. Mexico consumes a considerable amount of American coal, which comes chiefly from. Colorado and New Mexico. The amount of importations in a year is about 200,000 tons= -175,000 tone of soft and 25,000 tons cf anthracite, The imports of British coal into Mexico are not a considerable item of commerce on a000unb of the long sea voy. ago whioh is necessary, whereas the Amari• can coal may be shipped (and at a low rate of freight) over either of the railroads lead. ing from the United States into Mexico. A foreign country with whioh the United Stelae do practically no business in coal, is Uruguay, To this country the United Strata export in a year about 1,500 tons of' coal against 600,000 tone from England, either from Cardiff or Newcastle.

The attack often begins in the morning, upon awakening, after a night of restlessness or heavy sleep; though it is especially wont to occur in connection with emotional disturbances, such as excitement, fright or mental strain. The pain is usually localized, being in one or the other, more frequently the left side of the head. It is generally accompanied' by great disturbance of the stomach, when light pains the eyes; noises otherwise unnoticed inflict punishment; odors excite nausea. From the fool that people with strong nerves are never troubled with Sick Headache, it is generally conceded by the most eminent phy- sicians that it is dependent upon weak nerves or nervous debility, and can only be permanently cured by strengthening the nervous system. The Great South American Ner- vine Tonic is the only remedy manu- factured which is prepared especially and expressly for the nerves. It acts directly on the nerve centres at the base of the brain, correcting any derangement there may bo, greatly increasing the supply of nervous enemy or nerve fordo, giving great tone to the whole body, and thereby enabling a system subject to Sick Ileadache to w.ithstaudfuturo attacks. It gives relief in one day and speedily effects a permanent dura. Mrs, Isabella S. Graham, of Priendswood, Indiana, writes: "For a number of years I: have snficred • intensely with Nervous and Sick Headache; had Lot flashes, was sleepless and became despondent.
