LIVE-STOCK. NOTES.

WHENEVER an animal coughs, Imme--diate attention should be given it. Coughs are always in the direction of danger. o

EVERY timeia horse slips the animal is liable to permanently injure itself. See to it then that it is properly shod if it is to be driven on icy roads. -

CurTiNg coarse fodder makes it more digestible, and hence it makes it more nourishing, denial of the fact in some guarters to the contrary notwithstanding.

THE trotting horse and the mule are about all there is left of the business of breeding on that line. Of the two we would rather breed the mule. The income would be steadier. E

THE importance of examining the teeth of animals now and then is often mentioned, and yet it is a. fact that little attention is paid to the matter. Bad teeth are often a cause of suffering -and disease.—Farmers’ Voice. ' . Rabbits Barking Trees. : A subscriber asks if. there is not a wash that will prevent this. ° Yes. Make an ordinary whitewash, with ~‘one pound of flowers of sulphur to four pounds of lime. Then add tW¥® ounces of fluid carboiic acid to the gallon of mixture. Keep it well stirred while applying it with a brush, and the rodents will not ‘touch the trees. It ’should be applied Wexl up, say three feet, for if a deep snow falls and a .crust forms the ra.bbi%l will reach up pretty high. Should many mild rains oceur it may be neckssary to repeat the wash. If no raims occur it may .pay to wash the whitewash off in the spring with soapsuds. | The latter operation will pay f _itmelf in the smooth bark and the d¢struction of any plant lice that may escape the former at the root of the %tree. — Colman’s Rural World. 1 | % Correct Names for Fruits, Misnaming of fr.-ﬁitsi is general and ‘is pnoted in the mar(l’rrets and at fruit shows. It is safe to say that some value is added to a |consignment of fruit that is properly | named. Then why mot give the m'Ftter attention? There is scarcely a| fruit grower or farmer that has not %me varieties of which he does not knéw the name. As a rule, thisis the uia.l condition of affairs. It could bé remedied by a little effort. Send specimens to competent authorities—+get “the right names -and always |use them. The worst sinners in this| respect are the city dealers, Many them have no - scruples in such matters, and invent and apply new names and wrong names with perfect indifference. If all fruit was rightly labeled they could not 80 easily do their demoralizing work. iR i : : Two Neglected Crops.

EGGS IN COLD WEATHER. * The Winter Productiveness of Hens De- ' pends on Feeding. b - Theart of feeding may well be applied to poultry in winter, if eggs are expected. We said the “‘art” of feeding, for feeding is quitean art, and has science to keep it company. What do we feed to secure? Kggs, and in so doing we must look into the egg. We see it well filled with rich, nutritious ‘substances, and a variety. Then we must adapt the food to the egg. If the hen is kept warm and comfortable, the food required to provide her with animal heat will be correspondingly lessened. Knowing that the food should not contain an excess of the carbonaceous or heat producing elements, we look to those substances which furnish the albumen.: All foods contain these, but they vary in proportions. L

When the farmer throws down corn' and feeds his hens liberally he may: secure but a few eggs, as he is then! feeding for the market and not for eggs. A fat hen will not lay, and is as* unprofitable as a fat sow for breeding. What the hens mostly need is nitrogenous matter, for the‘y can, if fed any grain at all, easily provide the yolk; lime, phosphoric acid, ete., but the large amount of albumen in an ‘ egg calls for ‘more nitrogenous food than is psunally allowed. Some, improperly, ascribe the failure to secure i egos ’to/;. lack of green food. While | some kind of bulky food (such asclovef | hay chopped fine, and scalded, as well I as cooked potatoes and turnips) is ex- ' cellent, yet the desideratum is animal food, and if less grain be fed, and more ’ meat, either raw or cooked, there will ‘ be more eggs. @ . : M ilk and curds are also suitable, but . meat is better than anything else. As a pound of meat daily will be sufficient for a dozen liens, and almost any kind of meat will do, the expense is a small matter, compared to the high prices obtained for eggs in winter. 1t is not necessary to feed grain-*more ’ than once a day. A morning meal of scalded, chopped hay, with some kind | of animal food and wheat at night will give more eggs, if the henhouse l is kept warm, than any other method, | and it will be cheaper than feeding, three times a day on grain. A pan of : warm“water in the morning should als | ways be allowed.—Farm and Home. l

COSTLY POULTRY HOUSE Built by Mrs. Robert Garrett at Her Coun. | try Place Near Baltimore. - A poultry establishment costing over $B,OOO has" just been completed at Uplands, the country place of Mr. Robert Garrett. The buildings were al} constructed under the direct supervision of Mrs. Robert Garrett, who, like many ladies in this country and in England, has become interested in poultry culture. - The poultry house is all under one roof, and is over 250 feet long. It has three turret towers, one at each end and one in the center. One of the towers will be used for choice fowls, a pigeon loft being in the second story. The feed will be kept in the otherend tower. A receptiod room, well furnished and equipped with a library pf poultry literpture, occupies the first story of the center ‘tower, the second story being the bedroom of the poultry keeper. On the rig! . of the’ center tower are accommodations for brooding 2,000 ‘broilers” at one time. “Brooders” are devices for providing warmth for artificially hatched chickens, arranged so that the chickens may run in and out at will. There are also outside yards in which the chickens may exercise and obtain fresh air, Compartments for brooding pens of thoroughbred poultry. stock are on the left of the center tower. The house is constructed jof wood and the floors are all of cemeént.' 5 :

A heavy brick oruamented structure for the incubators is in the rear of‘the poultry house. Assoon as the young chicks are well dried after -emerging from the eggs they are taken from the incubator and in lots of 100 are put in ‘the brooder apartments. o ‘ A building especially arranged for fattening, killing and dressing poultry is connected with the establishment. Ducks and turkeys have a separate house in the rear of the main building.—Baltimore Sun. - Cha ~ POULTRY FOR MARKET.

AFTER ANTHONY. - A Witness Causes a Great Sensation in the Lexow Inquiry. ~ : New Yorg, Dec. 29.—Un Thursday Louis S. Street was sworn before the Lexow committee. He said he was indicted on June 20, 1889, for a felony in connection with ‘“green goods.” There were two indictments against him:. He ' declared he had never been in the ¢‘green goods” business. : The witness then explained that .a man by the name of Edward Beckthold rented an office from him at No. 56 Beekman street. ‘“Anthony Comstock,” said he, ‘“‘came to my office a month after and asked me to tell the namé of the man who rented the officee. I refused to tell; was brought to the Tombs and held in $5,000 bail for making ‘green goeds.”” The witness further said that Beckthold gave his wife $5,000 a 8 bail for him. The bail was finally reduced to $2,000 and Street was released from the Tombs. 7 “Beckthold told me,” said the witness, ‘“‘he gave $1,500 to Anthony Comstock to square an indictment in the United States court.” The witness also said that he went to Europe, and when he returned the state court indictment was still hanging over him.,

*I went to see Anthony Comstock,” said he, ‘‘and he said he was the only man who could get the indictments dismissed. I called to see Mr. Comstock again in August, 1890, and I paid him $l,OOO in cash to get the state court indictments dismissed. He said when he was taking the money: ‘Remembeér, you are not giving- me this $l,OOO as a bribe, but as a donation to the society.’” ¥ This testimony created a sensation in the court. :

‘“Now, are you sure you paid this money to Anthony Comstock?”

““I swear before God and man I paid him $l,OOO to have the indictments dismissed and to secure my liberty.”

Mr. Goff offered in evidence the two original. indictments which had been dismissed as the indorsement showed.

Robert Street, a hotelkeeper of Tuxedoand a brother of the last witness, was then called. ! :

*Did you visit, Anthony Comstock’s office with your brother in August, 1893?”" asked Mr. Goff. . ° . Y es, Bir.” ‘ . ~ “‘What did you see?” :

“I saw my brother pay $l,OOO to Anthony Comstock. There was an agreement between them to get the indictments dismissed. I gawve my brother $300.” "

Mr. Goff then said that they had evidence ,that the police had protected ‘‘green goods” men long ago. “We have now evidence,” said he, ‘‘if the testimony is true, that Anthony Comstock, the president of a private society, has accepted money for substantially the same thing as the police officials.” Lo Sy

“That's a pretty heavy indictment against ‘Mr. Comstock, if it is true,” said Chairman Lexow. . : The last Wih%ess corroborated all his brother’s-story as to the interview with Mr.” Comstock. .

SAFELY RETURNED. Columbus Relics at the Exposition Res stored ‘to the Vatican. - Royr, Dec. ?B.—The pope at noon Wednesday in the thrdne room of the vatican received the officers of the United States cruiser Detroit, which recently arrived at Naples with the vatican relics exhibited at the world’s fair in Chicago. Among the officers present at the reception were Com‘mander- Newell, Lieuts. Rogers and Marshall and Ensigns Evans and Blakely. The American officers were presented by Mgr. O’'Connell, who expressed in their name and in the name of President Cleveland thanks for the . papal participation - in the Chicago exposition. His holiness replied in terms of great affection, and praised the progress, activity and liberty of the United States. The audience lasted half an hour, and at its coneclusion all| the officers went to Cardinal Rampolla, the papal secretary of state, and presented their compliments to him. Later the officers dined at the American college. The facade of that building and its dining-hall were decorated with the Stars and Stripes. Among those present at the: dinner were the United States ambassador, Hon. Wayne MacVeagh; H. R. Whitehouse, secretary of legation; the United States naval attache, Gen. Hardy, and Rev.

FEARS FOR HER LIFE. One of America’s Richest Women Th'lnks : She Is in Peril. NEW Yoßk, Dee, 28.—One of the most remarkable cases ever brought into the American courts promises to be thatof Mrs. Hetty Green, one of the richest women in America, against the executors and trustees of her father’s estate involving millions of dollars. Aecording to the story told by her lawyer, William H. Stayton, Mrs. Green is in fear of her life. A belief, firmly fixed, that a band of conspirators took the life of her father, Edward M. Robinson, and of her aunt, Sylvia 'J. Howland, of New Bedford, years ago,and are now seeking her life and the life of herchildren continually haunts her. Glass, she declares, has been placed in her food not six months ‘ago; blocks of wood and stones have been hurled at her from windows as she was passing on the sidewalks, and on. numerous occasions her life has been threatened. - g

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. International Lesson for January 6, 1895 — John the Baptist Beheaded — Mark 8:17-29. ‘ [Specially Arranged from Peloubet’'s Notes.] - GOLDEN TEXT.—Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul.—Matthew 10:28. ; : THE SECTION OF HISTORY belonging to this lesson includes Mark 6:12-30; Matthew 14:1-12; Luke 3:19, 20; 9:7-9, together with a brief review of the earlier notices of John's mission in all four gospels.

TIME—John was imprisoned in March or April, A. D. 28. He was beheaded a year later, in March or April, A. D. 20.

PLACE.—Jesus gvas in Galilee with His twelve disciples. John was imprisoned and put to death at Macherus, a strong fortress and castle at the southern extremity of Perea, on the borders of Arabia, nide miles east of the northern end of the Dead sea. The feast held by Herod at which Herodias demanded the head of John the Baptist was probably held in this castle. ? -

JESUS had been preaching more than two years. He was. about thirty-two and a halg years old. . g JOBN preached about two years, from the spring of A. D. 26 to the spring of A. D. 28. He was in prison one year, and was martyred at the age of thirty-three. 5

PLACE IN THE LIFE OF CHRIST.—EarIy in the third year of His public ministry, in the latter part of the great Galilean division of His ministry. P - INTRODUCTION.—The Gospel had made such: great progress that the.echoes of the wonderful deeds of Jesus, by His word. and through His disciples, had reached the court of Herod The conscience of the guilty king smote him for his murder of the holy prophet John, and made him fear that he had come back to life’ with new powers much more dangerous to the wicked ruler than his former bold reproofs, This fear on the part of Herod is the occasion for telling here the story of the martyrdom of John. i : LESSON NOTES. The Persecutor. Herod. The ruler of Galilee and Perea was Herod Antipas, one of the sonsof Herod the Great.’ His mother was a Sarharitan. He married a daughter of Aretas, king of Arabia Petrea, just south of Perea; but, becoming acquainted with Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, ﬁn Rome, he sent his wife home, and married Herodias while her Husband was still living. King Aretas avenged thisinsult by invading Herod's dominions and defeating him with great loss. It was during the preparations for this war that John was beheaded. Herod remained in Palestine till A. D. 38, when he was banished to Lyons, in' France, but eventually died in Spain.

Herod's Character. ‘“From the first, Herod was a light-minded, unreliable, prodigal and luxurious prince; hence, also, he proved superstitious and cunning (Luke 13:32; Mark 8:15), and on certain occasions, either from folly or weakness, utterly heartless, cruel and callous.”—Lange. He was, it is said, a Sadducee, and believed, in no future life or resurrection of the dead, yet, by. a strange contradiction, his guilty conscience made him believe that Jesus was the murdered John restoi'ed.to' life. ‘‘Nothing is more common than the union of superstition and unbelief.. It was said of one of this sort, one of, the most learned men of the day (the younger Vossiud); that he beMeved everything but the Bible. I have known persons ‘who have ceased to believe in the divine mission: of Jesus afraid to pass a place with which some absurd story of a supernatural appearance was connected. Cod will, in this way, make many unbelievers witnesses .against themselves.”—Expositor’s Biblé: -

~ The Martyr Preacher.—His life. -(1) John was the son of a priest, Zacharias, and of Elizabeth, also descendant of ~ Aaron,and was born probably in'or near Hebron, in the summer of B. C. 5. He was at this time about thirty years old. (?) He was a Nazarite, pledged to drink no wine nor stromy drink, and to let his hair and beard grow untrimmed, as a sign of consecration to God. (See Rum. 6.) He was. filled with the Holy, Spirit. from. his birth.- (3) His early “life, up to thirty year® of age, was passed in'the solitudes of the wilder- - ness of Judea, where he was prepared for his great mission as the forerunner ~of the Messiah. (4) His appearance - was like the poputar idea of a great prophet raised above caring for temf\poral things, and protesting against l.the luxury of the age. - He greatly re- ' sembled Elijah in his appearance as i'well as chabacter. (5) His work , was, to prepare the way for the Messﬁh, as foretold in the prophets (Isa. 40:34%). In this work he had been engaged for two - years, boldly denouncing sin, and calling to repentance. (6) He was a fearless, consecrated reformer, not destroying, but building up. He was ‘‘a tower of strength which stood four-square toall the winds that blow.” . e

His Place of Imprisonment and Execution.—‘‘Herod himself:” Not led on by the Pharisees or other Jewish enemies, but Yor personal reasons. ‘“Bound him in prison:” “The place of his imprisonment and death, as we learn from Josephus (antiquities 18:5-2), was Macherus, about seven miles from the Dead sea, on' the northeast side.” Among mountains higher than those around Jerusalem, rises from a: valley *‘a lone flat ridge, more than a mile long and quite difficult of aceess, all of which was made a strong fortress. From this ridge *rises a high, conical hill, the top of which is one hundred yards in diameter, and which was fortified as animpregnable citadel. Inthis citadel, besides a very deep well, and a very large and deep cemented cistern, are now found ‘two dungeons, éne of them deep and itssides scarcely broken in,’ which have ‘small holesstill visible in the masonry, where staples of wood and iron had once been fixed., One of thes¢ must surely have been the prison house of John the Baptist’ (Tristram.) On this high ridge Herod the Great built a very extensive and beautiful palace. = i o

An important and interesting trade-mark suit, which has been before the courts for some time, has recentl&rreached a decision in the United States Circuit :Court for the Southern District of New York: . The suit was for an injunction. against theiinfringement of complainant’s (The N. K. Fairbank Comgany, Chicago) trade-mark * Cottolene” by the use of the word ‘“Cottoleo.” The validity of Cottolene as a trade-mark was made permanent by an injunction, the case being summarized by the court as follows: “It seems to be the law that when manufacturers have educated the public to ask for a certain article by its trade-mark nams, they have acquired the right to insist that ggoducts manufactured by othersishall not given to the gublio under that name. It is just that it should be so for the benefit derived from such name can only be obtained by faithful service in furnishing articles of recognized value. Moreover, if the trade-mark name might be a.do%tgd by others, inferior articles might then be produced and sold under it; and thereby the value to manufacturers of the regutatmn of the name used by them as a trade-mark would be destroyed.” .
