The positions of the b-.cral R publican nominees for the Legislature, in this city, on the Senatorial cjuevtion, are nor we1! understood, and the people cn therefore vote intelligently : la the 10th district, composcu cl tue i-'rst Ward, .Mr. l. a. Coney, the nominee, is a hard-noney greenbacker, in favor of Gee. T. Anthony for Sc-nat'ir, except tshen he is with men who are opposed to George ; and then he is in favor of Ingalls or Phillip, or any other man that the crowd eeems to be in favor of. In the II th District, the Second Ward of the city, Mr. IL M. Aller etands upon Mr. Coney'a platform stands very firmly npon it, and is an enthusiastic pup porler of all the Senatorial candidates in the field, especially George. In the 12th District, composed of the Third Ward, Mr. James F. Legate is the nominee; his position is the Fame as that of the other nominees, described above. George's friends think he is fooling the Ingalls men, and the Ingalls think he is fooling George's friends, but his real position is to close that it will take the "official returns1 to decide it, and then it will be found that he was for the strong est man. The candidate in the 13th Dis trict the Fourth Ward, Mr. Charles If, Miller, eays he wants to go the Legislature to "get even" with Ingalls. He says he will vote for George T. if there is a chance for him, and will vote for Phillips next, but his main point is to beat Ingalls. It thus stating his position, we think Mr. Miller is honest and is the only one of the four who rives an honest etatement of where he stands. GAS. The ln.tar-0can says the news that Elli son had solved the difficulty of electric light caused an immediate decline in London gas stocks of Fc-n per cent. The paid up capital of the Ixindon companies is about SSG,000,000, and the yearly income about S11,000,000, The companies hold excep tional powers from the government, and all shares have been at a heavy premium. lii:i:it xiii.-vk. Speaker Randall explains that he never sent a cipher dispatch. He wrote what he had to say in English, and another fellow put it in cipher and sent it. He does not deny that the difpatch' as published, is cor rect, put says the meaning has lieen perverted- The iAtcr-Offan thinks that a queer thing alout all thee Democratic explana tions is that they do not explain.

The New York OrajiJiic reproduces its double cartoon, illustrating the fable of the inqui'itive donkey, whicli appeared in its columns at the beginning of the Potter investigation. The first view represents the long-eared animal biting into a box mark ed on the end "electoral frauds," on the side "nitro-glycerine." The second view shows the result with the air filled with shattered fragment, of the inquisitive don key, cars, hoots, tail, vanishing in the up ward flight. The legend, "we told you so," makes the cartoon in the light of present events, a prediction realized. I'lrrrirs wn.i.. Tiie following is said to be an extract from the will of Peter the Great, of Rjs sia, giving directions to his succcExors as to the manner in which they should govern and strengthen their empire. Whether it is authentic or not, it evidently portrays the line of conduct that Russia is persuing: Approach a near as possible to Cons'nntl- nopiu and India. To rule these Is to rule the world.

Once in India, no more need of the gold of England. XII i: KCPIIIII.ICAM TICKET The campaign is now drawing to a close we have entered upon the last week of the canvass, and the work is well nigh done. Now that the several tickets have been be fore the public long enough to give the people a fair opportunity to measure the respective candidates, we think wc fairly reflect the deliberate judgment of the Re publicans of Kansas when we say that the ticket, taken as a whole, is as good a one as the Republican party of Kansas ever presented lor the suffrages of the people. The candidates, State and Congressional, are all men of ability, they are men with acknowledged reputations for honesty and integrity, and we have come thus far through the activities of an anima ted campaign without being called upon to record the unpleasant fact of a single blimish being pointed out in the reputation of any one of them, by the keen and vigilant campaigners of the opposi tion. This is not because the Democrats of the State have neglected their opportunities, for their campaign has been conduct ed by men who are shrewd enough to de tect all the weak pots that exist on the other ticket, but it is because the Republi can State and congressional conventions have presented for the various offices which the people arc called upon to fill next Tuesday, men whose character will stand the test of the closest scrutiny men who have come through the severe ordeal untarnished, and whose nominations will be ratified by the people at the polls next Tuesday, by emphatic majorities. KEMOTITItW F SPECIE I'AT jir.MS Editoh Times: The main argument used by those who are clamoring for the repeal of the resumption act is, the want of ability of the Government to meet the re quirements cl the act. On the contrary, thoe who have the management of the Gov ernment funds, say the Government will be able at the time specified in the resump tion act, not only to commence specie pay ments, but to continue to pay specie for greenbacks, if not interfered with by inju dicious legislation. That the Government officials are right in this matter, would seem to be self-evident, from the tact that gold and greenbacks are now fractionally at par. If resumption has thus forced itself upon the country, notwithstanding all the diffi culties thrown in the way by the so called Greenback party, it certainly can maintain its position if let alone. The wisest thing, therefore, that can "he done, is to let the financial question rest, at least for one year, and see how resumption will work. "To do otherwise would argue that the opposition are unwilling to let the Government try to pay its honest debts, when it can. There is, in my judgment, no impropriety in having as many greenbacks as can be kept at par witu goiu anu silver. More than this is won-e than not enough An irredeemable paper currency is certain ly the wildet-t financial lreak that ever en tered the brain of anv man, considered to be sane. A promissory note which prom ises to pay nothing, at no particular place, nor at any particular lime, U certainly worth no more than so mi'ch blank paper. The ftith of the Govern-nent in money matters is just like that of a banking coui- Fsny comparing great things with sniaji. t is good so long as it is able to redeem its promises. When it fails to do this, the notes whicli it promises to pay are worth nothing, just as those of a broken bank are. I hold that promis.-ory notes whether from the nation or a corporate ooiupany, hold about the same relation to money, that the milk man's ticket holds to milk. It will do to luy milk with, but will not do in the place of milk. Should this Butter scheme of an irre deemable greenback currency, ii-Mie, with out limit, (for be it renieml-ered that the amount is to be sufficient for the business wants of the country, and when this ioint is reached, no two will agree,) the Govern ment will be in a worse rondition, finan cially, than when it came out of the rebel lion. Suppose you issue greenbacks never to lie redeemed, what I am curious to know will lie the wording of their face? It will certainlv not lie that the Government prom ises to pay the holdtr, but that it does ac tually pay the holder, -fbis might do if we had everything e wanted within our selves, hut it certainly would be worthies.? in any other country. It would not do if all the trade was'in our favor, for other governments buying our produce would buy with our own money, which they could get for a mere nominal price in gold. So that outside of our own country this ir redeemable paper would be worth next to nothing. But jierhaps this wild scheme, if carried out, will be the best thing to bringlhe peo ple to a"sobersecond.thought,for nations, like individuals, sometime learn wisdom only by sad experience.

Rather a good looking couple from the country boarded m train here the day before the exposition closed, and with a number of others went to Pittsburg. Arriving the girl met an old acquaintance, with whom he soon became uncomfortably (for the other chap) friendly. She and her Pitts burg friend stuck together like wax all day, riewing the sights, apparently oblivi ous of the fact that her escort was around. 'When the hour came for starting home she vent with her Pittsburg friend to the de pot, and hung upon his arm until just be- iore the train started, tier escort, the while, lookiwg very much displeased.

The Secularists having started an organization in this city, acd Bradlaugh having gone there to lecture, Mr. Armstrong attended, and when criti cisms were invited rose and made some. Bradlaugh was much pleased with the man ner acd good taste of his critic, and said he would hope to meet tha revered gentleman in some wav which would afford a better opportunity for justice to be to their re peclive positions This was followed by a very respectful challenge from Bradlaugh, wnicn was as courteously accepted. An eminent citizen of Xottingham, and mem ber of Armstrong's church, presided; the most perfect good temper and friendliness continued through all the evenings of the debate, and the effect on both sidesjhas been excellent. Although Armstrong was not able to make an impression on theauoience equal to that of Bradlaugh, the speeches on both sides were taken down ana published rcr batim, and, read side by side, it is agreed by all that the gallant Xottingham preacher has nothing to be ashamed of. Bradlaugh's heavy blows never fell on any position with so little damage, simply because his unal practice has been totally different fortres ses from that in which armstrong entrench ed him. That is, Armstrong would not ad duce the argument from design, he would pin himself to verbal or logical definitions of the Deity. He planted himself on the moral nature of man, and on its growth by adoration of that which it feels to be high er than itself. Xow, no man makes more of an ideal world than ilr. iSradiangh.

(Inter-Ocean, 111 This is the story of a woman's bonnet the record of a woman's devotion where the welfare of a bonnet is concerned, and of her triumph over men and managers. It is an admitted fact that a fashionable bonnet, wonderfully and fearfully made as it is, and a "r01"60' love" of a thing as it is always pronounced to be, is a nuisance to the man or woman who sits behind it at anv place of amusement. This is unfortu nate simply for the person sitting behind the bonnet, and can lie construed in no way to reflect upon the bonnet itself, or upon character of the wearer. In this land of enterprise and progress, the man who sits behind the bonnet is expected to accept the situation, creen his neck with enthusiasm, and turn his head this way and that with the patience that endureth forever. In the older and moss-grown civilization of England theatrical managers are bolder and average men and women who sit be hind bonnets less tolerant. In many of the London theatres a rule has been adopt ed providing that boncetsshall be removed tlie rule applying to all who sit outside the dress-circle. The English ladies are wo men of spirit, but, taken by surprise, they submitted, and removed their head-gear. Hut there came a time when they saw their mistake, and looked uton the inana gerial enactment as an infringement of the .Magna Charta. lo realize all this they required a leader, and the leader came in the person of I-ady Churchill. All uncon scious of the honors awaiting her, Lady Churchill, wearing a love of a bonnet, went with her husband to see "Uncle Tom's Cab in." As she was about to enter the stalls she was ordered to remove her bonnet. An English woman is nothing if not loyal and obedient, and the bonnet went off in a flash. But the lady carried her bonnet in her hand and went to her seat. This wag not in"sccordance with the managerial pro gramme, and it aroused the managerial ire. Lady Churchill was informed that her bon net must be left with the attendant made and provided 'for the occasion. This was too much for womanly endurance. La dv Churchill stood by her bonnet, and de clared that where she went it should go, and that no manager should put them as under. Lord Churchill, seeing the chance for war, stood by his wife, and putting his foot down manfully declined to go in the stalls unless the bonnet went too, and de manded the return of the fourteen shillings paid for the tickets, ihe manager refused to refund the money, and the war began in earnest. Lord Churchill brought suit nominally to recover the fourteen shillings, but really to test the constitutionality of the bonnet rule. Both parties were ably represented by counsel, and when the case was called in court there was great excitement. Lord Churchill's lawyer argued that as gentle men were allowed to carry their hats in their hands, the ladies must be allowed equal privileges as to their bonnets. Then he launched out boldly against the rule requiring ladies to remove their bonnets at all. Gentlemen removed their hats as a matter of politeness, but if a manager had the power to say that a lady must remove her bonnet, lie had the power "to order her to remove cloak or dress. The possi bilities opened up by this lice of argument frightened the ladies into unanimous and instant rebellion against the rule, and touched the Judge in one of the tecderest spots of his judicial heart. The case went against the manager, and the principle was established that no manager hasthe right to molest or put in quarantine a lady's bon net. The revolutionary movement hag been inaugurated, it is expected to end in the re-establisbment of tbe statu quo, in which every man who sits behind a bonnet is expected to take the situation as he finds it, and do the best he can under existing circumstances. Once informed of their rights no one doubts that the English wo men will maintain them at any cost. If not, they do not care half as much for their bonnets as do their American cousins. Deatti la Ihe Lamp. The use of kerosene oil for illuminating puroses has unquestionably, been of im mense service to the people of this country When its virtues wtre first discovered, the failure of the whale fisheries was imposing a restricted use on all artificial ligti'g in thousands of households and its introduc tion was, therefore, very opportune. But during the past two or three years a com Itition in price has had the effect to lessen the usefulness of kerosene oil by making it exceedingly dangerous. Xot only have re tail dealers diluted the oil purchased of the manufacturers by adding naptbato it, but the refiners therm-elves have put iu the market oils far below the grade which ex perience has demonstrated lo be a safe one. Almost all of the Xorthern States have pasred laws forbidding the gale of kerosene oil which flashes at a lower temperature than 1103 Fahrenheit, and though the ob-ervance ot these statutes insuresonly a comparative degree Jof safety, for the flash grade should have been set at 1 10s. yet, as a matter of fact, the great part ot the oil sold and burned, would, if tested flash cousiderably under 110 of heat. As long as a lamp is lull ot oil this unafi Itiiuid can be burned with impunity. The dangerous element in all the products of iwtruleum is tbe vapor that is evolved. Thus, a man may plunge a lighted match into a barrel tilled to the bnmlwitli nap tha with no other consequence than the ex tinguishment of the light, but if the barrel was only a quarter or an eTghlh lull a se vere explosion would be inevitable. Xow. most of the oil in this city, would, if te-ted, be found lo flash between SO3 and 90 Fah renheit, proving that a s light increase iu the ordinary temperature was alone needtd to make it levolve explosive vapor. Where kerosene lamp explosions take place it is often found that the lamp was on a mantle-piece over a etove where the temperature was higher than elsewhere in the room, acd hence, when two-thirds of tbe oil in the lamps wasu-cd up, its place was tilled by an invisible vapor ot great ex plosive jiower. Any defect in the top of a lamp which allowed the vapor to come in contact with the flame, would, under these circumstances, produce an explosion ; or it might come about by driving the flame down into the lamp, through the common though hazardous practice of blowing out a lamp from the top of the glass chimney. When kerosene oil is sold at from 10 to 15 cents per gallon, those who purchase it should exercise the utmost caution in its use, as there is little probability of its le iue a safe and reliable article. In all this there is need os reform, acd this should take the shape of au ecforcement of exist ing laws. school house in the interest of I'm Green back ciue.

Ohio Is All Itigbi on Ihe Ureeaback X. V. Times, 2J-1 The official returns from the Ohio elec tion are interesting. They show that the total vote cast thia vear was 5S9.0S2. or only 1,003 less than in the severely contest ed campaign between Haves and 'Allen in jo.o, auu o-i,u more man last year, ice vote was divided as follows : ilepublican, 274,120 ; Democrat, 270.UCG ; Xational, 3S, 322 ; Prohibitionist, 5,07 1. This gives the Republican candidate a plurality over the Democratic candidate of 3,154. The latter is a minority on the entire vote of 47,150, but uniting the Democratic and Xational vote, and adding the Prohibitionist vote to the Republican, (where it naturally be longs,) we have the tolt money vote equal to 3U9,2S8, and the hard money vote, 279. 793, or a majority for the former of 29,494. These figures trust not be ignores! in reck oning the political future of Ohio. Acd yet they cannot be too narrowly interpret ed, since in the Congressional district car ried by them, the Republicans had majori ties amounting to 30,S3S, while those ot the Democrats in the Democratic districts amounted to only 19,7Sli, leaving the Dem eicrats in a minority of 11,038. The mi nority is three times as great as that shown on the State ticket. But on any showing, it would be unsafe to count Ohio as surely trustworthy for sound money. lllnraaof a (ircac Inventor. Mr. Edison,,every one will regret to learn is down with an attack of what the dis patches call '"neuralgia," but as great dan ger of brain disturbance is indicated it would seem as if the nerve trouble were of a different and more serious character. The following extract from a Xtw York inter view will be of interest here as giving the inventor's own and latest view of his elec tric light invention : "Of course, there is no flame," he said; the light is wholly Irom incandescence. The light is just about equal to one gas jet. 1 can increase or diminish it to any extent. I can regulate it with mathematical accur acy." "What is that -ire that glows ?" "That is phtina." "How long will it lat." "Forever, almost. It will not burn. It never oxydizes." Then be turned it down through all shades of red, till the light vanished. "You do not see it now," he said ; "but it is lighted. It is invisible, and the electricity required is almoit infinitely small, but it is there, and a touch will recall it see !" and he tapped the lever and the illumina tion returned. "How's that for a sick room?" he asked, with a broad smile of pleasure. He connected the circuit with the two other lamps, aud showed tbe indifferent patterns and capacities. Then he explain ed the peculiarity whicli rendered this elec tric light practicable and valuable, aud said "if a statement of that were published it might invalidate my foreign patents," He didn't ask an "affidavy" of secrecy, but seemed satisfied with the negative affirma tion of silence. "This is exactly what you want it to be, then, is it ?' ask one of the party. "Xot exactly," said Mr. Eddison ; "there are three tioints to be tierfected. I am working on them now. One is an electri city meter. You see, this thing has to be in vented from the very beginning." "How much will vour light cost, Mr. Edison?" "They'll cost a good deal less than gas. How much less is not now certain, nor is it prudent to estimate it." erotecuon rrom Cottoa Moth..

The War Cloud Looming; up .Igalii. Xew York Herald, 21. J When the English Chancelor of the Ex chequer told his countrymen the other day that he was not sure there would not be a reaewal of the war he said a very uncom plimentary thing to his picturesque mas ter, the Earl of Beaconsfield. If anything would insure peace surely it was the Treaty of Berlin. If anything would make all Europe happy it was, above all thiugs, tbe Anglo-lurkisli Convention. And yet a few short months after Beaconsfield and Salisbury were gratefully gartered by Her Most Gracious .Majesty, this man, who has to make both ends meet in the English Budget, is not quite sure that all the jug glery acd Jingoism has not been in vain. What is worse, he has some reason on his side. The outlook in Europe is far from reassuring. In Asia, too, the signs of the times are ominous of war. It is not the French nowadays who are responsible in the eye of England lor everything, from big blue flies in butchers' stalls to the last eclipse of the moon, but the Bussians. Something has gone wrong with the Berlin arrangement. It seems Russia is under the impression that England took some mean advantages therein, and the news from the Kejber Pass and the Austrian bulletins from Bosnia have encouraged Russia to believe that there is a wav of settling things more to her liking. Austria is very busy in spite ol her successes, and England is likely to have her hands quite full with the Ameer, so we hear that the Russians are not marching north toward their homes ir the enow, but moving south in Eastern Rounelia. That, under these circumstances, the Xorthern Power will let go her hold of the territory it marked out as tbe Xew Bulgaria in the Treaty of San Stefaco, without something more etlective than the lierliu parchment, is not as clear as the Chancellor of tbe Eng lish Exchequer would desire. Bad 'news, no matter how it it disguised under phrases like "irresistible force next spring," is that which tells Sir Stafford that Englaod dare not cross the Himalayas to punish an Asi atic barbarian for months to come. Per haps Earl Beaconfield has another plan. Perhaps he hopes to ret the Turks, with the aid of British gold, to try bloody con clusions with the Russians again, as an off set to Russia helping the Afghanistan to bar the mountain passes again-t English armies as well as embassies. If he has he is likely to be accommodated. But poor Sir Stafford, who has to find the money, who sees India almost bankrupt and British trade wofully depressed, may be pardoned for telling the English that there are dark clouds coming up, since he is expected to lurcish the silver lining.

A good dairyman gives his exjerience that bran is an excellent food for cows at any time when extra food is required. He has generally been able to get from it more milk than from an equal cost of any other ground feed. It is better suited to warm weather than meal. As the weather be comes cool, if cows are at all thin, meal may be profitably added. At any rate he advises that feed enough of some kind should be given to keep up both milk and strength all the fall. One of the worst er rors a dairyman ever commits is to let a cow go into winter quarters drooping. Field Tleellngn are Hrnellcial. Uonton Traveller, 15.

J. G. I'iclet, of Wisconsin, puts in a claim for his mother for 1SI1, ten years before the time of Mr. William-. Ixng liefore 1S41 thea-sociated dairy sys tem was practiced in Massachusetts, when several neighbors were wont to put the milk of several, two or time or more, cow dairies together for the purpose of making larger and b. tttr chee-e than each could make separately n itl his small parcel of milk. If Mr. l'iciet puts in his claim on this ground, as he ems to, then the asso ciated dairy system was practiced, to our knowledge, long before IS 11. Xeverthe le?s, we think Mr. William's claim as the originator of the present cbc.-e factory sys tem is undoubted. 'I be Time to Mirlter Modi. Kuuvus Spirit, Si Xow is the time for our farmers to pre pare ample shelter for all of their stock. It will e-ost a mere trifle lie-sides the labor to make good, warm theds for the stock, and there certainly is no small outlay that will return such large profits. All kinds of stock will go through the winter on ninch les feed and the spring will be found in far better condition, if they have comfortable winter quarters. than they would with ever so much food and then have to stand out in all the cold winter storms. It is ioor economy; in fact it is no econ omy at all, for tbe farmer to fail to provide shelter for his animals. And, besides, how much moresatisfaction the farmer will take when the cold storms of winter come down if he knows all his animals are in a warm, dry shed. . Straw and grass are eo abundant in Kan sas, and comfortable shells are so easily made from these, it would seem our farmers could have no excu-e for neglecting to have comfortable quarters for their domestic an imals. Keeping; Crafla During; Uiuler. Rural. Xurserymen who cut lirge quantities of grafts late in autumn, keep them in cel lars packed in damp moss; but farmers and others who wish to preserve a few for spring grafting, may not have these appliances at hand. For such a simple acd perfect mode is to bury them in a dry place out of doors, in an inverted open box. till tbe box partly full with them, nail two or three strips across to keep them in place, and then place the box in a hole dug for the purpo-e, with the open side down, and bury them halt a foot or so in depth. They do not come in contact with the earth and remain perfect! clean ; acd the moisture of the earth keeps them plumpacd fresh with out acy danger of their becoming water- soaked. Grafts which have become shriv eled by exposure, are thu3 restored and will grow, it is often advantageous to cut grafts in autumn, as there is then no dan ger of their vitality being lessened by ex posure to intense cold, and it is otten more convenient to cut tbem or procure them at a distance at this time.

Evergreens and shade trees are best planted in early spring.

Plant apple twenty five to thirty-three feet apart and peach trees between the rows north and south, if desired. Babbits are terribly destructive to young trees, if the tiees are cot protected from their depredations. One small, brown rab bit will destroy a hundred trees in a night ; aud a jack-rabbit will bark a tree as high up as a sheep. I'ine tar is used bre with universal good results in protecting the trees from tbe depredations of rabbits, and with no injury to the young trees.

Care for the Animal that Does Ihe Work The Rural Sere Yorker has the following paragraph, as full of humanity as practi cal wi-sloni : "Farm horses in the fall are often un grattfully neglected. Their hard toil iu helping with the heavy work of the season once over, when only odd joIh await them, it is too frequent a custom lo dock them of their gram, acd allow them to shift for themselves on the pastures, otten without needed shelter from the bleak wind and early frosts of autumn nights. After feed ing awhile the oor animals get chilled, and run about in the dark in search of warmth which they oft.n find only at the co.-tof a stumble or fall, resulting often in a sprain or a cut that injures or disfigures them for life.

A Word lo Farmer About Fruil- Ifaitiiijr. Boton Traveller, 25.J The old story is told of a farmer n ho re fused to plant apple trees, lcaue he said he should not live to eat of the fruit if he did ; and the son being like his father, al-o refu-ed to plant an orchard; the grand-son, however, resolved that he would plant an orchard whether he should live to eat of tbe fruit or not, saying that "somebody else will if I don't." As if to remind the old grandfather of his selfish lack of enter prise, he lived to eat of the fruit grown tij on the trees planted by the graml.-on, thus showing him how much of enjoyment he had deprived lnm-elt ol by neglecting to plant an orchard. Thus it is with selfish ness, as the old troverb runs "It bites off its own nose." How many farmers and mechanics are there to-day over the East ern States, if they would spend but a tithe cf the money and time that they now do annually for tobacco, cider, beer, whisky, etc., and the loafing-idleness incident ' here to, in preparing tbe ground, purchaing trees and taking care of them, would then be destitute of an abundance of delicious fruits? X'ot one, is our reply. How much happier this would make them aud their families, than the money they now waste in smoking, drinking and loafing, would it not, wives and children? Their verdict Ls in the affirmative; we do dot for a mo ment doubt this. Then, farmers, you who are destitute of fruits for any of the aforesaid reasons whether it be for the lack of enterprh-e or any other one or more reasons which have been named, we would say to any and all, resolve foithwith that you will provide for growing fruit, even though it should de prive some of one-half the money nowsjent tor leer, whisky aod tobacco, and occupy half the time that you now spend loafing aud idling n the corner grocery, store, shop or tavern, all of which tend to lower the standard or morality acd decency, both in the neighbi ii.ood and the family. ft la Tlnit- lo Look Alter frape Vines. I Kansas Farmer, S3, j As soon as the cold weather of autumn has permanently checked vegetation, trim the grspe vines as they are de-ired for next year ; release the vines from trellis or stakes acd lay them flat on the ground. Cover the vines with a few inches of iland let them remain until spring When the ground has thawed out .in the fpririg, re move the arth covering from Hie vines, but do not tie them to the stakes or trellis es until the air has warmed up and buds show symptoms of beginning to pu-h, then secure the stalks where they are to stand through through the hummer, tiraje vities are liable to be injured by a severe winter, requiring much of the following sea-on to regain the vitality they have lost, and thus muvu of the rea-on for frtiit-niak-iug is snt in restoring wh it should never have been allowed lo wasted. This is the lesson of economy in housing farmer stock comfortably, spplieJ to vines. Stock protected from cold wiuds and storms, come out in much better condition iu the spring on less food than cattle that have been cxjiosed to the inclement weath er without shelter, and are much more tnrifty and profitable to their owner than the wioter-pinched animals, and so it i with grape vines, esjiecially ihe more ten der varieties, but all Iinds are benefitted by being protected from hard frosts and drying winds through the winter and early spring. How to Acertalu ili . of Fowl. lltuial World If a hen's spur is hard and the scales of the legs are rough, she is old, whether you see her head or not; but her head will cor roborate your observation. If the under bill is so still that you cannot bend it down and the comb thick and rough, leave her, no matter how fat aud plump, for some one le-w particular. A young hen has only the rudiments of spurs ; the scales on the legs are smooth, glossy and flesh-colored, what ever the color may be, the claws tender and short, the nails sharp, the under bill soft, and the comb tliin'and smooth. An old turkey has rough scales on the Iegsf callosites on the souls of the feet, and long, strong claws ; a young oue the reverse of all these marks. When the feathers are on, the old turkey cock has a long tuft or beard ; a young one but a sprouting one, and when they are off, the smooth scale on the legs decide tbe joint, besides the difference in the size of the wattles of the neck and in the elastic shoot upon the neck. An old goose when alive is known by the rough legs, the strength ot the wings, par ticularly at the picions, the thickness and strength of the bill and fineness of the feath ers, and when plucked by the legs, the ten derness of the skin under the wing, by the pinions acd thebiiljandlhecoar.senessof the skin. Ducks are distinguished by the same means, but there is the difference that a duckling's bill is muebjocger in proportion to the breadth of the head than the old duck's. HOMk MARKETS. HAY-ft 73.
