Winter Care ot Stock.
At the last meeting of the Bedford
Farmers' Club the subject for discussion
was " Winter Care of Stock." Mr.
James Wood advocated warm stables as
a matter of economy. A certain part
of the food used by cattle is consumed
in keeping them warm, and if they are
well sheltered less food is required.
Attention should be paid to ventilation.
Cows require a large quantity of food,
as their digestive apparatus acts best
when the stomach is distended. With
horses it is different; they should be
fed at regular intervals a sufficient
quantity to keep them in good condition.
but not enough to make them
"paunchy."
MV .Tneotli TTftinos \ronld not obiect
to stables where it would freeze occasionally.
Did not think the cows
would be' less healthy on that account.
He favored feeding grain to both horses
and tattle, since hay alone was the
most gxpeusive sort of food.
Mr. Godfrey Haines preferred warm
atables and advocated taking good care
of stock in winter. He especially mentioned
the propriety of feeding horses
regularly three times a day enough to
keep them in good condition, and said
that horses fed all thev would eat were
worthless to drive on the road.
Mr. Joel Mable spoke at length oi
keeping cows and horses in warm, ventilated
stables, whioh should be by no
means in a basement. Would face the
cows and horses toward windows and
let them see the prospect, instead of
facing toward a bla?k wall, or making
them Btare at one another in parallel
lines. Keep cows happy and they will
give more milk and better milk. Pure
water WUM esptcittu; uawury, vwruw
for horses, and beets aud carrots for
cows, he considered indispensable for
good winter feedirg. Turnips he
thought little of estimating that they
were worth just what they cost, viz.,
the labor of gathering. He objected
particularly to the use of brewers'
grains.
Mr. Oliver Green advocated warm
stables and careful treatment; he would
keep cows in stables in severe weather
nearly all the time; and would cousider
it an advantage to have water
slightly warmed for their drinking iu
excessively cold weather. In sunny
weather would let them mn out several
hours a day. Wuat he thought most
injurious was a sudden change from
heat to cold.
Mr. Stephen Wood agreed with the
general view of those who liavo spoken
in regard to good stabling and proper
care. He had made it his practice
to have cows aat up the hay clean by
saving the refuse formed in the mangers
and once a week or so putting brine ou
it. He favored a vat iety of food for
cattle, instead of giving them stalks
till the stalks are gone and then hay
tiH the hay is gone. He spoke at length
of the improvements iu agricultural
science.
The President spoke of the plan of
keeping cattle in stables throughout
the day, and said'the tendency now was
to let them run out more than a few
years ago. Ho mentioned cases of
farmers who maintained that their
herds had been injured by too much
care and too high feed. He favored
liberal nse of sowed corn fodder.
PoUonlng Micep by Dipping*

for mortality and destruction of sheep
in dipping and suffocation in handling,
is the use of metallic preparations foi
the cure of scab, and killing the parasites
that abound in the fleeces. Arsenic
and corrosive sublimate are substances
which enter largely into the composition
of these killing mixtures, and we
learn that a well-known, largely-advertised
nostrum, which is principally
composed of arsenic, was used on an
occasion when forty animals were rendered
lileless in somewhat less than
four hours. Sheep farmers frequently
turn newly-dipped sheep back to the
same pastures and localities which
abound in the parasites which torment
them, and newly-clipped sheep are allowed
to mingle with lambs without
any precaution being taken to guard
against the passage of the lice, ticks,
4c., from one to the other, 'llius the
operation, confined to ewes only, lavorf
the parasites seeking greater warmth in
the thicker and closer fleeces of the
lambs. When ewes are dipped, it
would be well to dip lambs also, and in
nsing a compound, that selected should
be one not essentially for bleaching and
cleaning the wool, but for its power ol
attaching itself to the fibres of the
fleece, and thus rendering it untenable
by the parasites. There is, however,
some difficulty in the choice of materials
which will aflect this, and more sc
when the bath is used, as all substances
cannot bo conveyed in a watery solution.
For this reason we advocate the
more effective, although Blower, plan ol
pouring, with which everv sheep-far
mer is thoroughly conversant. P>y this,
many agents, perfectly harmless to the
sheep, buKjJeadly poisonous to the par
esites, may he useil, conveying comforl
to the animalR, effecting a more speed}
cure, ami preventing not only the loss
of flesh, which is never regained, but
nlso the loss of the animals themselves,

How to Feed Horse*.
The Vermont Farmer says : " Mr
Emery, of Worcester, after trying sev
eral ways of feeding horses, hus Bettlec'
down on the following : He feeds whoh
bay with six quarts of bran and corr
meal, half and half, twice a day, wet.
He has fed 60 for the last year. His
horses look tiuely, and ho works theni
hard, but at the same time he is a careful
man with a team. Ho intends to
have them fed at stated times, ouee in
twelve hours." This is much better
than feeding meal alone, as the coarse
bran separatosthe particles of meal and
prevents its packing so hard as it otherwise
would in the stomach of the horse,
but even this is not a safe way with ull
liorseR. The concentrated food should
be more divided with coarse fodder.
Young and vigorous horses may stand
it well for a few years, as their digestion
is more active, but bran and meal mixed
in eciual portions is too comnaet for
proper digestion in most horses, and
they will, in a short time, be affected
with colic and many other stomach
complaints. The omnibus lines in cities
have had experience on a large scale,
and find the only safe -way is to feed
meal, or meal aud bran, mixed with
about an equal weight of out hay or
straw. This gives abundance of strong
feed, and also bulk, leaving the contents
of the stomach in a porous condition.

i Policy Toward Spain and Cuba.
A Cabinet Dl?cu??lou?President Grant
in Favor of Mediation.
At the meeting of the American Cabinet
the Secretary of State laid before
the President all the telegrams received
and sent in regard to the capture of the
Virginius, the execution of Varona,
Jesus del Sol, Cespedes and Ryan, and
the instructions sent to Minister Sickles
at Madrid, and Consul Qeneral Hall!
at Havana. He said that he was unable
as this time to formally present the
matter, as the State Department was
without official dispatches, owing to
the interruption of telegraphic facilities
between Havana and Santiago deCuba,
but that he hoped in a few days to be in
possession of such details as would enable
the government to act definitely.
This allusion to the matter was followed
by general remarks on the part of all
the members of the Cabinet. The Secretary
of State said that it was impossible'now
to fairly judge the question,
, but, as would appear from the cable
dispatches received, the Spanish government
had no intention or desire to
, assumo the responsibility which the
grievousness of the act presented. As
\ he was advised, the government at
Madrid were without details. All that
had been sent abroad was from Washington,
based on the press dispatches,
, and what were undoubtedly official dis,
patches from the commanding officer at
I Santiago de Cuba to the Captain General
at Havana. So far as the Spanish
. Legation was concerned he was assured
that Admiral Polo knew no more of the
details than the State Department,
i U ntil the State Department was in posi
session of a detailed statement he was
. not prepared to offer the matter for for.
mal consideration.
( The summary execution of Ryan,
, Yurona and others was then talked of,
and the Secretary of State said that the
only explanation he could give for what
might now appear as an unwarranted
execution was that the parties shot had
been adjudged gnilty of treason, and
the sentence of the Spanish govern!
ment passed upon them some time ago. j

force to-day as it was forty years ago,
and those summarily executed, he had
. no doubt,were oa the list of condemned
traitors or open enemies of the Spanish
i government, and, their identity being
I proved, the military officer at Santiago
j had no discretion in the matter, but
. carried out the decree of his govern- !
ment. It was nothing new ; merely the
; enforcement of a decree based upon old
Spanish law. Coming back to the \
j questions whether the seizure was legal
; or illegal, whether the Virginius was in
every way protected by tier register and
clearance papers, whether the parties
on board were destined for a regular
port, as he had already stated, these
1 matters could only be known when the
State Department had received 6uch
particulars as the magnitude of the case
demanded.
The President said he had read in the
press dispatches the statement that
eighty Cuban insurgents, captured as
prisoners of war, had been shot on the
. held, end, while the report lacked confirmation,
he was prepared to hear of
its confirmation after what had already
occurred in Cuba, and he was satisfied
' that the Spanish government did not
and would not approveof such butchery.
, It was a matter, however, which an en,
lightened government could not overlook,
if, indeed, this method of warfare
1 was necessary to the support of the
Spanish Republic, individually he could
, not wish such a government prosperity.
, If the Spanish people, in their effort to
establish a republican form of govern,
ment, could not control their authorities
iu Cuba, then, iu the interest of
t humanity, he thought it time to intert
fere?not to encourage the struggling
Cubaas nor embarrass the Spanish Ret
public in any way, but wholly in the
, interest of civilization and humanity.
, Such a precedent has already been es
t laoiisneu. iuy attention nas recently
. been called to this, and I refer the mat"
ter to tlio Secretary of State.
A Hard Case.
[ The postmaster at Atlanta, Georgia,
whose son, employed in his father's
office, recently absconed, being a defaulter,
is peculiarly au unfortunate
man. A local paper says in regard to
L him:?" If there ever was an honest man
I upon earth it is James L. Dunning, the
p father of the unfortunate young man.
Some years ago Mr. McLaughlin, then
his money clerk, absconded, leaving a
deficit in his accounts of several thousand
dollars. Quietly and heroically
the old man resolved himself to make
good what had been lost to the governj
ment by his employee. Being comparatively
poor the government allowed
him to commence payment of the selfimposed
debt by installments. Since
then no man has seen James L. Dunning
at any public place of amusement;
no one has seen him spend a single dol[
' lar for any luxury. With a stern resolve
. i to wipe out the stain, he has taken from
t his salary every spare dollar, which
otherwise would have gone to make
comfortable his declining life and
smooth his pathway down the hill, and
devoted it to the redemption of his obi
ligation. And now, after years of de.
privation and struggle, when he had
j paid all but about StfOO of the defalcal
tion and was almost free from the bond?
' age of the debt, he finds himself, gray
l haired and enfeebled, brought faee to
, faee with another defalcation, and this
i 1 time?by his own son."
A Terrible Bungle.
Tuo execution oi waueni wiuiiuas
port, Pa., furnishes a story replete with
1 i the deepest interes t. The culprit, a
' powerfully built, unscrupulous heartless
rnau, who has lived under tifty
different aliases, was brought to the
scaffold for the murder of au aged
couple, from beneath who^e roof he
took about seventy thousand dollars,
part of a hoard accumulated by ?'.he old
people after years of labor and economy,
but whose distrust of mankind induced
! them to personally guard their wealth.
He entered their log cabin, dispatched
with a huge club the faithful dogs,
brained the woman and hacked the old
man almost to pieces. Securing the
coin, he hastened to bury it, refusing
to reveal its hiding place to the officers
of justice. At the bar lie sneered at
the evidence, laughed at the solemnity \
of the Judge and betrayed the worst
symptoms of human depravity when
condemned to death, remarking that he j
was troubled only at the uncertainty of |
whether his victims were in heaven or
the darker regions. After being partially
strangled he fell to the ground
and had a second time to be placed on
the trap. On the scaffold he ravei like
a lunatic, cried to God for mercy when
he first fell, and finally died like a b&f
oonecioui brute,

Cheaper Telegraphing.
Low rates and qniek dispatch increase
all kinds of business that relates to the
carrying of passengers, freight or letters.
If the rates are too high, neither corn i
nor grain can be sent from the extreme
West to the seaboard, and only a lim- ]
ited quantity from places leBS remote.
Not one passenger would go to Kansas i
or California where ten now go, if the
stagecoach were substituted for the t
railroad, the fure remaining the same.
The actual cost of transportation de- 1
creases as the quantity of merchandise !
and number of passengers increase. If j
there are two railroads of the same
length, the one carrying double the
quantity of freight of the other, its ex- 1
penses will not be fifty per cent, greater,
for many of them bear no relation to j
the amount of business?as the general .
office expenses, grading, fencing, ties,
and culverts.
In the mail service especially, by the 1
greater dispatch afforded ny rauroaas
and the reduced postage, the mailed '
letters have increased within a few vears '
from forty millions to five hundred mil- 1
lions, while the deficit of revenue is no 1
greater in proportion to the number of
letters transmitted at three cents than
at the former average postage of 15
cents. This principle applies still more
strongly to the telegraph ; the rates^are
so high that few can afford to use* it,
although the gain in time ovex the mails
is so great. Abroad, at low rates, it is
generally used. In England its use has
more than doubled within three years
since the telegraph has been eonnccted
with the post-office, while here the number
of telegrams has increased less than
one-third. The average rate for telegrams
in England is 25 cents; in all
Europe, 3i cents ; in America, 73 cents.
The Postmaster-General recommends
the union of the telegraph with the
post-office bv the purchase and operation
of the lines ef telegraph. "Wliile
nil admit the greater aheapncss and
more free use of the telegraph abroad,
some oppose this plan on the ground
that under a republican form of government
the telegraph cannot be managed
as well as under a monarchy. If this
be true, and the people are unable to
; manage their own affairs, then give us
a king and aristocracy at once. We do
not participate in these fears, and the
sooner this question is understood and
decided the better.
Others oppose this plan on account of
the great outlay involved in the purchase
and extension of the line ; and a
plan has been proposed by committees
of the Senate and House of Eepresen
tatives in Congress to wnom tne BUDjecc
was referred, by which telegrams will
be received a9 letters now are at all
post-offices, and at all telegraph
offices, and transmitted between
the offices by parties famishing
and operating the lines at rates fixed
by Congress, not exceeding one cent a
, word for telegrams transmitted 500
, miles or less by day, and 1,000 miles or
less by night; a reduction of about 50
; per cent, of the present rates?25 cents
for n night telegram from St. Louis to
New York or New Orleans. This plan
: relieves the post-office from the necesi
sity of purchasing and operating lines,
while it utilizes all its existing facilities,
and places the telegraph at .once
. within the reach of all classes. This
j system is in exact analogy with the !
' present postal service; all correspond- j
! ence will be received aud delivered |
through the post-office, the mailed letter
transmitted by contract with railroad
and stagecoach contractors, the
telegraph letter by contract with the
telegraph compuny. The benefits of
! this plan are evident; it involves no
J constitutional questions, and can be
1 easily, quickly and without cost to the
General Government carried into practical
operation.

The First-Born'i Death.
The following beautiful extract from
Dr. J. G. Holland's new book, "Arthur ?
Bonnicastle," will be read with a deep i
and tender interest by all parents, and 1
especially l?y those whose soul the iron
has entered :
" I stand in a darkened room before i
a little casket that holds the silent form
of my first-born. My arm is around
the wife and mother, who weeps over
the lost treasure, and cannot, till tears
have their way, be comforted. I had
not thought that my child could die?
that my child could die. I knew that '
other children had died, but I felt safe.
We lay the little fellow close by his
grandfather at last; we strew his grave
with flowers, and then return to our
Baddened home with hearts united in
Borrow as they had never been united
in joy, and with sympathies forever
opened toward all who called to a kindred
?rief. I wonder where he is today,
in what mature angelhood he
stands, how he will look when I meet
him, how he will make himself known

hand to which my own youthful fingers
clung, and as hearing from the fond lips
of my own father the story of his
father s eventful life. I feel how wonderful
has been the ministry of my
children?how much more I have learned
from them than they have ever learned
from me?how by holding my own
Btrong life in sweet subordination t#
their helplessness, they have taught me
patience, self-sacrifice, self-control,
truthfulness, faith, simplicity, and
purity. v
" Ah ! this taking to one's arms a
little group of souls, from the hand of
God, and living with them in loving
companionship through all their stainless
years, is, or ought to be, like living
in heaven, for of such is the heavenly
kingdom. To no one of these am I
more indebted than to the boy who
went away from me before the world
had touched him with a stain. The key
that shut him in the tomb was the only
key that could unlock my heart, and let
in among its sympathies the world of
sorrowing men and women who mourn
because their little ones are not.
"The little graves, alas! how many
they are 1 The mourners above them,
how vast the multitude ! Brothers,
sisters, I am one with you. I press
your hands, I weep with you, I trust
with you, I belong to you. Those
waxen, folded hands, that still breast,
so often pressed warm to our own, those
sleepbound eyes, which have been so
full of love and life, that sweet, unmoving,
alabaster lace?ah! we have all
looked upon them, and they have made
us one and made us better. There is
no fountain which the angel of healing
troubles with his restless and life-giving
wings so constantly as the fountain of
tears, and only those too lame and
bruised to bathe miss the blessed influence."
Then and Now.
John B. Gough,in a late lecture, said:
Fifty years ago we burned the same materials
for light as they did 5,000 yeais
ago. The lamps and torches that illuminated
Belshazzar's feast were as
brilliant and were probably of the same
materials as those at the earlier receptions
at Washington. The same might
be said of locomotion. Nimrod and
Noah traveled at about the same rate of
speed as our fathers. He remembered
traveling between Albany and Utica,
and making three miles an hour straight
through. Now in twenty-seven hours
we could pass the States of Maine, New
Hampshire, Connecticut, New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, District of Columbia, and
100 miles into Virginia. In the old
times they lived for love, and for a plain,
simple home with all its happiness uud
comforts. In the then the marriage relation
with its hallowed influence was
the offspring of Jove ; in the now it wus
made a matter of barter and sale, and
family life was metamorphosed into a
wretched struggle for fashionable display.
One man married to increase his
respectability, one to please his friends,
another brought a wife home to spite
his relatives, and another married to
procure service without being obliged
to pay for it. One girl married because
she did not like to work, and wanted to
be supported in doing nothing but
crochet and Berlin work, with ample
time to go out. Ho sometimes saw
Vmffprflina in flin efrpof xritli
abundance of finery, cheap jewelry, and
head-gear; and, speaking of female
head-gear, he might say that no one
could break the second commandment
in worshipping it, because it was unlike
anything in the heavens above or the
earth beneath. He knew it was the
fashion to make old maids and old
bachelors subjects of ridicule, but
would it not be better to be laughed at
: because you are not married, than never
i to laugh at all because you nre married ?
j If a girl was meek in her manner ; if
i she was modest in the presence of gen|
tlemen, or if she is kind to animals, she
i was cut out for an old maid. Neatness,
j modesty, thrift, order, and humanity
j seemed to be the never-failing characteristics
of that terrible creature, the
| old maid. Hut, ho asked, were not
some of the women whose existence
| was a blessing to the world of this class ?
i Take, for instance, Florence Nightingale,
Miss Carpenter, Clara Barton,
Miss Dix, and a host of others. Wo
were Christians, and yet we worshipped
the meanest of all gods, and bowed the
knee to Mammon. The purse-bearing
scoundrel was often honored, but the
moneyless scoundrel was always despised.
In some of our cities it was
scarcely possible to convict a man with
money of crime. He did not believe in
hanging a man, but he asked did they
ever hear of a poor mau who had three
trials for murder? (Applause). The
question was not one of right or wrong,
guilt or innocence; but of wealth or
poverty.
Rest.?The best medicine in the
world, more efficient in the cure of disease
than all the potencies of the
chemist's shop, are wurmth, rest, cleanliness,
and pure air. Some persons
make it a virtue to brave disease, " to
i f
ftcrji lip tta lUlJg an tuoj lau uiutg a iuvv
or bend a finger," and it Bometimes
succeeds ; but, in others, the powers of
life are thereby so completely exhausted
that the system has lost all ability to
recuperate, and slow and typhoid fever
sets m, and carries the patient to a premature
grave. Whenever walking or
work is an effort, a warm bed and a cool
room are the very fint indispensable
steps to a sure and speedy recovery.
Instinct leads all beasts and birds to
quietnde and repi the very moment disease
or wounds assail the system,

MAKES THE WEAK STRONG.
The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect'
cd Solution of the Protoxide of
Iron, is so combined as to have
the character of an aliment, as
easily digested aild assimilated
with the blood as the simplest
food. It incrcasesihc quantity
of Nature's Own Vitalizing
Agent, Iron in the blood, and
cures "a thousand ills," simply
by Toning up,Invigorating and
Vitalizing the System. The enriched
and vitalized blood permeates
every part of the body,
repairing damages arm w-uaiv,
searching out morbid secretions,
and leaving nothing for
disease to feed upon.
This is the secret of the wonderful
success of this remedy in
curing Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
Dropsy, Chronic Diarrhoea,
Boils, Nervous Affections,
Chills and Fevers, Humors,
Loss of Constitutional Vigor,
Diseases of the Kidneys and
Bladder, Female Complaints,
?:nd all diseases originating in
a bad state of the blood, or accompanied
by debility or a lout
state of the system. Being freo
from Alcohol, in any form, its
energizing effects are not followed
by corresponding reaction,
but are permanent, infusing
strength, vigor, and neut
life into all parts of the system,
and building up an Iron Constitution.
Thousands have been changed
by the use of this remedy, from
weak, sickly, suffering creatures,
to strong, healthy, and
happy men and womens and
invalids cannot reasonably hesitate
to give it a trial.
