When dry or "^zeii bard of course tramping will do no I arm, but a thaw out with the stock the wheat fields, considerable dam- ' c will be done in a very short time. 5iil in order to avoid this, consider- h]e care must be taken to take the stock off ,,;.._n the ground is soft. Then, in places, the stock will eat the ii.ar down so close to the ground, and i.rp it so, that the vitality will all be taken :. or so nearly so that the plant will die, iit bf.-^t, make but a' sickly, feeble plant the si)ring. Sheep and horses bite down the ground, and where a considerable liiber have the run of the fields, consider- 1. ihimage is often done in this way. (., that if the wheat is pastured at all, nsideralile care must be taken, or more â-  irni to the crop will be done than all the lunt of feed secured will pay for. In ...ition, there is always the risk of dam- e. as it is almost impossible to watch the ..k all the time, a sudden change of the iither, or the stock will get to eating in^ J place, and the wheat will be seriously piicmI almost before you are aware oi it. Taking the risks into consideration, es- ially with late sown wheat, and I very ..irh doubt, whether, on the whole, pastur- .^ wheat can be regarded as profitable. Tireen feed is, of course, often very desir- l.le during the winter, but the surest way obtaining it is to sow a patch of rye ex- 1.. -sly for this purpose, sowing reasonably rly so that a good growth can be made liyinthe fall. If this is properly done, 1.1 ge amount of winter pasturage can be .i.lily secined. IJnt if- this is not done, f xpeiicnce is, that it does not pay to ,11 niucli stock in the wheat. While ,, IV often it can be done without any ap- i ii.nt iujuiy, yet there is considerable risk :- lau, so tliat, at best, the plan can hardly I .(insidered safe, taking one year with r.other. And the safest plan is to make prepara- lis ;vliead fur winter pasture, and let the ,ii.:it grow as much as it will. There is .,.ii.^iderable less risk of getting too strong 'i-owth than there is of its making .too .Mid a start during the fall and winter. ihc niiMc vitality the plant contains, the clter they will withstand the winter, and ii-e sliould be taken. to get as good a growth iiossible. aaatm um aMi A Pew Agi-icultuxal Don'ts- ' 1 )n"t own more land than you can work that you will ever get â- â€¢//. liin't imagine hiiiugh learning.

Tkclr CmmamatUl Aspcctoâ€" •«•« Mem Ctt Eeaa tMutm lajvied •â- es. Railroad itccidents have, in the «yes of stock speculators, merely a commercial as- pect. When the terrible calamity on the St. Paul was learned of Wall street wanted to knofir how many cars had been wrecked, how many lives had been lost, but especial- ly how many people had been injured. The especial stress laid on this .-last would not be understood by the ordinary lay brother who is outside of a railroad office, uncon- nected with a law office, and who is not a stock brokerage expert. The passenger who is killed in a railroad smash-up costs the railroad company just -$5,000. This is settled law. Deasion after dicision has been made, and legal fight has followed legal fight until it is now accepted by litigants of all sorts that §5,000 can be collected as damages for the death of a relative, and no more. But while the courts have argued that for the protection of railroads damages for death shall be limited, by one of those unaccount- able inequities of which the law is full no limit as ever been set on the sum that a passenger can sue for who has received simply an injury. And so a broken leg may cost a railroad corporation §50,000 a orok- en arm, §100,000 but the children can only collect §5,000 for the loss of their father the widow can get no more for the loss of her husband. Dead lawyers count no more than tramps dead millionaire bring after a railroad wreck .§5,000 dead laborers cost the railroad just as much. If a millionaire, however, escapes alive from a smash up, he can probably get for his broken ann §25,000, while the laborer who escapes alive gets oniy 8500 for his. This is law. W'all street is on to it, and really expressed itself as grati- fied the other day to learn that in the terri- ble wreck at llio all had been killed none injured. The most frightful railroad accident that ever occurred in the West was within ten miles of Chicago,, and right out on the prairie Avhere there was no excuse for it. It was thirty years ago, when the Michigan Central and Michigan Southern were fighting each other, both at this end and in the East. They crossed at right angles at Grand Cross- ing. Thei-e had Ijeen a big fight when one laid its rails across the other's. Whenever two engineers passed down there they glared at each other. Trains used to race for the right of way, and there was the most titter recklessness. A Michigan Southern train loaded down with emigrants, was ap- proaching Chicago along one line and a ^Michigan Central was racing along the other. The fornter got there first and was half way across when the ^Michigan Central engine plunged right into the centre of the train load of human freight. There never had been such a sacrifice of life by a railroad accident before. Men and women and babes were ripped and torn and burned. It was this massacre that created the law compel- linji all eh^dneers to come to a dead halt at all crossings. The Ashtabtila accident is said to have cost the Lake Shore -SI, 000,000, paid out to the families of the dead, and to the sufferers from wounds. It made millionaire Amasa Stone crazy and led him to cut his throat in his bath tub. It was his bridge at Ash- tabtila that the Lake Shore train went through, and engineers declared that the pattern was bad. In 1880 Capt. Prindiville left Detroit in a Canada Southern train for Chicago. Just the other side of the Welland Canal a brok- en rail caused the engine to plunge off the track and to upset. Every car in that train went over on its side, some of them on their backs. Xot a passenger was injured. The Captain says that it was the most complete wreck he ever saw, and that it was marvel- lous that no one was killed. An agent of the company came rushing along in a few hours in a " special" with an attorney. In- stantly, the Captain says, the whole train load of people \\no had been ret Aning thanks to God were taken with spinal diffi- culties and all kinds of horrid injuries of one sort ' r another. He detected a young fellow who had sat next to him, and^who had laugh- ingly been congratulating himself on his es- cape, blacking his eyes with mud. The rail- road agent wrote a check for §100 for that sly young man on the spot. The others got checks in proportion. '" "I 3ix months, p4 other crops.

A very curious musical instrument is now on view in the French department of the Amsterdam Exhibition. It consists of twenty-five large flints, suspended, harmon- icon fashion, from two parallel wooden rods, and struck by two smaller flints by way of hammers. The peculiarity of the instrument consists in the fact that the stones are not cut down to any peculiar weight or form, but are virgin flints of various shapes and sizes, roiigh as when first dugout of mother- earth. The inventor, M. Baudre, a French- man, of St. Florent, in the dispartment of Cher, states that it has taken him thirty years to perfect his collection, for which he asks the modest sum of sixty thousand francs, being at the rate of nearly one hun- dred pounds per stone. The stones when struck give out a clear metallic sound, like the note of a very high-toned bell. Strange to say, the note appears to have no direct relation to the size or shape of the stone, two of the stones being pointed out which are exactly alike in weight, and yet there is more than an octave interval between their respective tones. Similar paradoxical relations may be noted between others of their series.

Leaves have their time to fall, and so has the price of coal. And yet how sadly at vari- ance the decaying nature is the robust coal market. Another glorious sunmier with its wealth of pleaasant memories is stored away among the archives of our history. Another gloomy winter is upon us. These wonder- ful colors that flame across the softened sky of Indian summer like the gory banner of royal conqueror, come but to warn us that in a few short weeks the water pipe will be busted in the kitchen and the decorated wash bowl will be broken. We flit through the dreamy hours of summer like swift-winged bumble bees amid the honeysuckle and pumpkin blosoms, stor- ing away perhaps a little glucose honey and buckwheat pan-cakes for the future, but all at once, like a newspaper thief in the night, the king of frost and ripe, mellow chilblains is upon us, and we crouch beneath the win- try blast and hump our spinal colunm up into the crisp air like a Texas steer that has thoughtlesly swallowed a few cactus. Life is one continued round of alterna- tive joys and sorrows. To-day we are on the top wave of prosperity aud warming ourselves in the glad sunlight of plenty, and to-morrow we are cast down and de- pressed financially, and have to stand off the washer-woman for our clean shirt or stay at home from the opera. The November sky already frowns down upon us, ami its frozen tears begin to fall. The little birds have hushed their lay. So has the fatigued hen. Only a little while, aud the yawning chasm in the cold, cabn features of the Thanksgiving turkey will be filled with voluptuous stuffing and then sev.ed up.

Sontine. While routine sadly chafes enthusiastic and hopeful people, there are undoubtedly many who thrive upon it. We recall an old gentleman who. was a perfect model of rou- tine. He was borne, lived, and died in the same house, stood at the same counter in his own little store for sixty years, selling about the same number of cotton spools, and rolls of tape, and yards of calico every day, and laying aside the same little profits every night never speculated or had any super- abundant stock walked through the same streets four times every day oetween his house and his store, accomplishing in all about sixty -five thousand miles never leav- ing home except when he went semi-annually to an adjacent city to buy goods listened or dozed in the same pew every Sunday never married never went to any place of amuse- ment never read any but old-fashioned books, and those somewhat heavy and, in short, was never known to move one inch out of his regular orbit. He travelled in a small circle, but it satisfied hini he was never unhappy and never anxious about any- thing he had a good digestion, slept well, had no bad habits, no enemies, and, perhaps, no enthusiastic friends he gave no offence in anything, was never elated, and never depressed, never soared, and so never fell, never sought or desired any change, and would have glided on contentedly for five hundred years, if death had seen fit to over- look him. If the world were peopled with men of this sort we might have great peace but what would be our progress She Was Perfectly Willing. " May I have the honor of taking you in to supper " said a pretty little dude to a stylish woman who had mashed him. " Of course you can," she answered, "and my husband, too. We were going by our- selves, but your company is better than none." â- .â- ^P^WH^l SNOW CHI, ^KiNbPOWD[B THKRt BETTERI The Snow Ddtt Baking Powdar C«., Bntntfoid, Dek ~sÂ¥8agFcasing New shipment from England, Ex-Stesnuhip " Sta wegjan."
