FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Keep the Aslm&Ja Warm.
The first oold blast of wirid from the
north is a reminder that animals, however
tough and hardy, need shelter in
winter. It will take less food to keep
farm stock over winter in warm stables
than when exposed to severe oold. Of
course, good wood, stone or brick barns
and stables are expensive, and there are
many farmers, especially in the reoently
settled distriots, who have not the
means to build such structures, but
there is no one too poor to furnish some
kind of a shelter for their animals, if a
man caunot afford to build what he desires,
let him do the next best thing, and
build something 'which will furnish
shelter, even if it is nothing better than
a shed, with sod for walls, and a roof of
brush or cornstalks. All attempts at
elegance or extra convenience may be
left out of the question where a man's
purse is light; still, it is economy t?
keep all farm stock sheltered from cold,
wind and storms in winter, even if the
owner does not possess enongh of the
humane feelings to care for their comfort.
More than one-half of all the diseases
and parasites which infest farm stock
are the direct result of neglecting to
furnish them with proper food or shelter
dnriDg cold, stormy weather. Cattle oi
all kinds, when forced to remain in
muddy, wet yards during cold weather,
arc liable to various diseases of the feet,
such as hoofail and foot rot, and the
best preventive is dry ground, or yards
Uttered with straw, or some similar
coarse material. Standing a long time
in filth, whether in the stable or yard,
is almost certain to bring on diseases of
the feet. All kinds of farm stock are
liable to take oold when exposed to
storms, and from this oomes a weakened
constitution, which invites various kinds
of diseases and paraaitio insects. Weakened
vitality or vigor in either plants or
animals opens the way to hundreds of
parasites which are resisted by the h. althy
individual, and the farmer should keep
his animals in a condition which will
enable them to wtrd off the attacks of
sueh enemies. He has only to think of
his own comforts, snoh as nutritions
food and warm clothing, and consider
how the reverse of these conditions
would affect him, to understand how it
is with his animals.
It is unnecessary to go into details in
regard to the building of sheds, stables
or other kinds of structures for sheltering
stock in winter, as every man knows
best what materials are at hand or within
reach suitable for such purposes, but
the fact should be aDD&rent to all breed
era of animals that in all cold climates
some kind of protection is required.
Out on the plains and prairies of the
West and Southwest it is often asserted
that sheep need no protection in winter,
and it is eten claimed by some that they
do better without it than with it;^ but
the frequent heary losses by oold,* starvation
and diseases plainly show that all
this talk of mildness of olimate is an
error. Sheep and other farm stock may
live through the winter without artificial
shelter or more food than can be
obtained on the range in these favored
localities, but they would certainly do
better with added comforts every winter,
and occasionally heavy losses might
be avoided by making the necessary
provision to protect and feed them when
severe storms prevail.
Questions and Aaiwm.
What will make a simple and inexpensive
cistern fLter?
Take a strong box, with the bottom
fall of holes, over these tack a piece of
stout, ooarse flannel; then put in three
inches of charooal, next some gravel,
and top all with a layer of stones. Arrange
so that the spouts from the eaves
shall enter this box, and the water will
be perfectly filtered as it runs from it
into the cistern.
Can smutty wheat be cleaned, if so,
how?
Strong brine has been recommended, i
in which the wheat is to soak an hour or
two. Also, for the same purpose, a
solution of bluostone is advised; one
pound of the bluestone dissolved in two
gallons of water. After soaking the
smutty wheat in either of these preparations
a couple of hours, skim off the
diseased grain and fnngns) take out the
wheat, spread it on a clean floor, and
sprinkle over it newly slaked lime.
How is blue grass seed most easily
gathered ?
In the blue grass regions of Kentucky
the seed is usually gathered when ripe
by "strippers," worked by hand or
horse power. The hand stripped are
simple and inexpensive, costing only $2
or $8, and are said to accomplish from
ten to fifteen bushels per day. The
horse power strippers cost from $50 to
$150, and gather from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty bushels per day.
What should be done with the seed
after it is gathered ?
Spread it out, so that it may not heat
iu curing.
How much seed should an acre yield ?
The yield depends upon the quality ;
anywhere from ten to twelve or even
fifteen bushels.
How about reserving fields of blue
grass for seed ?
Old growers say there is no necessity
for this, but that it is better to be eaten
down, as the second growth yields more
seed.
Do heu's eggs always hatch in twentyone
dayrt ?
Twenty days is the shortest time and
twenty-six the longest. Much depends
upon the freshness of the eggs, the
number placed under the hen, the faithfulness
of the hen and the construction
of the nest. However, twenty-one or
twenty-two days is the usual leuath of
time required.
How can one tell whether sand is
really good or not ?
Take some np in the band and squeeze
it wed; if of firbt quality it will separate
ai> soon as the pressure is removed ; if it
remains in a ball then it is of inferior
quality. Good sand, even when wet,
will not remain in a lump.
Maize is much cheaper than oats, is it
equally good for horses ?
It is generally conceded that horses
become both lazy and fat on maize, Indian
oorn ; while good eonnd oats and
beans, in due proportion, when at least
a year old, are,the best food for a race or
galloping horse. One food tends to
slow action with increase of weight,
while the other has just the opposite
effect.
Mr. Bennett's Marriage.?The
trousseau for Miss May, who is to marry
Mr. James Gordon Bennett, of the New
York Herald, has arrived from E irope,
where it was collected at an expense of
$20,000. It is said to be the most beautiful
and elaborate ever prepared for an
American Jady.
A party of Germans employed in a
mill at Sonth Adams, Mass., went to
Pittsffeld to be naturalized, and after
procuring their papers held a prayer
meeting in which divine guidance as

THE REVOLT IN JAPAN*
What It Is All About?The Htate mt Affairs
la that Country.
Those who have followed the oourse
of affairs in Japan will not be surprised
to learn of the rising of the Samurai, or
two sworded class. An outbreak of this
character has long been expected, and
did not find the imperial government
unprepared. The incipient rebellion was
promptly subdued, as we learn by the
dispatch which brought news of the outbreak,
and by still more recent dispatches.
The eflect will, no doubt, be
to strengthen the hands cf the liberal
party, popularize the imperial or national
army, and consolidate the government.
Some long talked ol radical reforms
will now be introduced, and we
may confidently expect to see the doors
of the country thrown more widely open
to foreigners and foreign enterprise.
The Japanese are greatly in want of
capital to develop their internal resources.
The men who a few years ago effected
the Japanese revolution in the mikado's
name, and who now control the government
of Japan, are amoDg the ablest in
the country. They represent the popular
or radical element, and have had
great experience in public affairs, as
councilors of the former Daimiosor feudal
princes. Under the old regime each
Daimio governed his feudal province
through a provincial council chosen
from among his retainers. This council
represented the best executive, judicial,
administrative and military talent in the
province. These councilors now govern
Japan on popular principles,
through imperial forms. Okubo, the
leading statesman of Japan, and actual
prime minister, like all those by whom
he is surrounded, was the councilor of a
Daimio. Their policy is essentially
progressive.
The aristocratic or oorservative party
is profoundly dissatisfied with this
policy. Shimadzu Saburo, the uncle of
the young prinoe of Satsuma, leads the
opposition, and represents the dangerous
class of the late Samurai. The people
of Satsuma swarm in the military
and civil offices of the government. On
the occasion of the Corean difficulty,
Shimadzu Saburo made a great speech
in the imperial council, urging immediate
war with the Corea, openly avowing
that his chief reason in advocating this
polioy was for the purpose of giving occupation
to the Samurai. The government
adopted a peaceful course, and
Shimadzu resigned from the council,
and eight general officers in the army,
all Satsuma men, resigned the same
night. The army is chiefly officered by
fellow clansmen of Shimadzu. These
events were at the time much commented
on by the press of Tokio. The Hochi
Shimbun newspaper, which opposed the
war, had several very strong leaders on
the Corean difficulty, in which Shimadzu's
speech was severely criticised.
Shimadzu obstinately opposed the edict
against offioials having their heads
shaved. He was a member of the council
of State when the government intimated
a desire that offioials should wear
European dress. The next day he appeared
at the council with the hair on
the sides of the scalp more firmly
gummed up than ever. While his colleagues
sat in high velvet chairs, he sat
on a mat, smoked his pipe, and was attended
by three coolies?one for his
mat, one for his pipe, and one to pull
out over his feet the brocaded trousers
which train behind a Japanese gentleman
of the old noblesse.
The days of old Japan are numbered.
The ancient traditions are fast dying
out. %The preat feudal lords were shorn
of all political power and nine tenths of
their former inoomes when the revolution
was made. Oligarchy, aristocracy
tod hereditary political power then received
a blow from which they cannot
recover. Thus tbe democratic element
has gained very much in Japan ; and
with the dissemination of knowledge
and the emancipation of the press, this
element is likely to increase in power
and influence from now forward. The
pensions awarded to Daimios by the
State, when they were stripped of their
provinces, amounted in the aggregate to
$14,000,000, and form by far the
heaviest government disbursements, bej
iDg half as much again as the military
! expenditure, five times the cost of tbe
navy, and five times the interest on the

aristocrats of the land, are in the enjoyment
of incomes which would be considered
princely in any part of the
world. The young prince of Satsuma,
who is at the head of the most powerful
of the clans, gets $4,000,000 a year.
There are some thirty Daimios receiving
pensions of over $100,000 per annum
each. Some of these gentlemen spend
their time and money in foreign travel
Several have established themselves
abroad. The ex-prince of Hizen is
living in London with his family. He
is a member of two London clubs, quite
I fond of society, and mingles froely in
all the social and theatrical pleasures of
! the capital. He leturned an income of
i $175,000 last year. The young gentle;
man who, but for the revolution, would
i have been prinoe of Awa, is an under'
graduate at Oxford. His income is rej
turned at $125,000 a year. The prince
! of Kanza enjoys a pension of $4,500,000
J per annum.
There is in Japan a strong party in
favor of reducing these pensions. As
the country is now organized, the voice
of the people has been able to make
itself heard in no uncertain tones on
this subject; and a very stroDg pressure

I every department of government. The
! army, the navy, the post-office, light!
houses, and railroads require money to
J keep them up to the requ'ired standard
of European efficiency. Trade is deI
creasing, exports are falling off, while
j the growth of the silk trade in Italy and
this country is working serious injury to
Japan. Taxes are heavy, and immedi;
ate relief can only be obtained by a rer
I duction of the pensions, although the
S pensions are liable to taxation, and the
} income tax cut them down to the extent
j of one-tenth last year. The people are
j thoroughly democratic. "These pensioners,"
they say, "do nothing what^
ever for the money they receive." The
feudal lords have had their day in Japau,

The MASON A HAMLIN ORGANS are
thus declared to RANK FIRST, not in one or
lioo respects only, but in ALL the IMPORTANT
QUALITIES of such instruments;
and they are the ONLY organs assigned this

Hamlin Cabinet Organs have uniformly been awarded
the highest honors In competitions In Amerloa, there
having been scaroety six exceptions In hundreds of competitions.
They were awarded HIGHR8T HONORS
and First Medal?-PARI8,1887: VIENNA, 1873; SANTIAGO,
1876: PHILADELPHIA, 1876; and hare thns
been awarded highest honors at every World's Exposition
at wntch they hare been exhibited, being the only
American organs which have ever obtained any award
at any competition with beet European makers, or In
any European World's Exposition!
Insist on having a Mason A Hamlin Organ ; do not
take any other. Dealers often reoommend inferior
organs because they are paid larger commissions for
selling them.

make it; therefore II fl I Iff when vou call for <
