Soon after the young cattle go into thdr winter qnarten in the barn, lioe will be liable to make their appearanoe and nnleea they receive immediate attention they will rapidly inoreaae, and all thrift and growth will Mon oeaae, says oar Conntry Home. A great many remediea are offered for lioe on cattle, but moat of them are ob- jectionable in one way or the other. I haTO never fonnd anything, for efficacy and aonvenienoe equal to floor of enlpbar lifted over their baoka whenever they ahow aigna, by rubbing or lapping tiiemaelvea, of the preeence of theae punudtee. An oooaaional ue of aulphur In titiia way will keep a herd of cattl^ very free of theae peata if applied when they firat make thefar appearance. If they have obtained a hold on the animal, q^ldloationa muat be made once a week for â- everal weeks, and if very plenty, an ocoa- aional doae of a tableapooniul of aulphur in their feed will materially aid in getttog rid of diem. The odor of sulphur aeema to be very destructive to all vermin, and five ponnda, coating 26 oenta, if uaed In thia way will keep a large herd ef cattle free of tiieae peata a long time, and it is the aaf eat, aadeat, and surest means possible. Cattle whioh have become thoroughly in- fested with vermin are unthrifty and a diagraoe to any family. I keep a small pail et sulphur and a small hand sieve hang- ing up in |the stable, out of reach of the oattle, and whenever I see iodications of Hoe on any animal I at once dust a little sulphur over its back and that is usually the end ef the trouble. In this way I keep my oattle very free of vermin, and like it so well that I have used nothing else for several years. Snndiy Sngsestioiis. A small amount of chloride of lime left In their runway will drive away rats, and is besides in most cellars needed to keep the air pure and free from the daiwereus malaria from .decaying vegetables. If it is desired to catch the rats, a small piece of eloth placed over a steel trap and the bait set on that will secure them after they have beoome too wary to be taken with a trap not hidaen. -All carpenters know how soon the butt ends of chisel handles split when daily ex- posed to the blow of a mallet or hammer. A remedy suggested by a Brooklyn maa oonsists simply of sawing or cutting cff the round end of the handle so as to make it ftkt, and attaching by a few nails on top of it two disks ef sole-leather, so that the end lieoomes similar to the heel of the boot. The two thicknesses of leather will prevent ail further splitting, and if, in the course of time, they expand and overlap the wood of tiie handle they are simply trimmed cff all areimd. A mixture of mutton tallow and wood- •huck oil is excellent for keeping boots pliable and excluding water. It the boota have become thoroughly water-soaked fill them over night with dry oats, which will absorb much of tbs moisture from the in- side and at the same time swell so as to keep the boot in shape and prevent its shrinking. There is no mystery about making neats- feot oU. The only thirg necessary is to boil in a kettle as many cattle's feet and hoofs as can be obtained and ekim the oil nntil no more riaes. From the four feet of one animal a pint of oil is usually obtained, and it is well worth the trifling cost of making it. Why the Boys Leave the Farm. "Why do the boys leave the farm?"' wails a writer in an agricultural jonmal. Well, dear brother, there are several rea- sons. One is because the boy is not 65 years old at nis birth. Then, if there is a hoe on the far en weighing fourteen ounces, bright as nicklepiate, and sharp as a razor, and another hoe weighing somewhat less than a breaking plow, with an edge on it like a hammer, and a sapling with the bark on it for a handle, the hired man t^kes one and the boy gets the other, and every man in America knows which is the other. Did you ever stand with such a hoe in your hands, away down in a com row on some airless, still, hot summer day, tweaty acres ef com blades and tassels wilting about ycu, standing fourteen inches higher than your head, shutting out every last trace of breath- able air, and then hear a locust down In the edge of the timber strike up his long stri- dent, monotonous call to make it ten times hotter! And all this time a cool creek, not a mile away, Iv itering in deep, silent pools In shady places in the woods, or breaking into merry dancing ripples over the pebbles And in the big deep holes, the fiish juat lying around, lonesome for a boy? Well, then, yon know why some boys leave the farm. Still, boys can be kept on the farm and made stay there all their lives. You drive a long spike through a boy's abdomen and through a live oak tree and clinch or belt it to the other ^ude, acd then he will stay on the farm. '" Yes, there are some other ways we know, but this is the only infallible method. JOn GSAirS, TEE SOOTCE HOUSE AS OLD LANDMARK OF MONTBBAL. FEBSOIAIk â- tery kppearato Aboat OreamerieS' authority says that A dairy authority says that a factory which will make the cream from a thousand cows cost, outside of the land, about $2,500. But one could be started on a smajl scale, with a few hundred collars, and with good .management and energy be made to pay. Grain raising is becoming more precarious in the older portions of the country every year. By turning unprofitable hillsides and fields into pasture land, tne soil may be brought up and made to pay a good per cent. The manure from oce cow, properly saved, is worth $24 a year. A creamery, started in a good locality, would be worth hundreds of dollars every year to the neigh- bcrhood, betides paying a fair per cent, to Iti managers. "Walk about Zlon, toll the towers thereof, mark ye all her bnlwarka, consider her pal- aces, that ye may toll It to the generation follewiag." Such waa the command to pre- serve and hold in everlaating remembrance the Lmdmarka of Jeruaalem. Let na attempt to fellow in the feototops of old and reetora or point out from among the mini of time ancTthe wreck of aurronndlng matter the whereabonte ef some notoble landmarka in the city of Montreal now nearly forgotten. JohnOrant'a "Inn" or "Tavem""the name "Hotel" was not known in thoee early daya. Thia eld house is still standing, and bean the number "47 St. Henry street." Fifty years ago thia old house waa a noted place. It vnm then the Sootoh head oentie ef Low- er Canada. There was not a Sootohman or a Scoteh family then livtng within a radiua of one hundred milsa, embracing the tlcotoh Conntiea of Glengarry and Argentenil, and the Scotch settled purte of Chateangnay, but had at one time or another slept within its walls or had putaken of its eld-time hoapi- tolltiea. There waa scarcely a Sootoh merohant or trader in Upper Canada, half a century ago, in his sami-ammal business visits to Mont- real, who did not make this old honae his home during his stay. Not to have known John Grant, or not to have been known to him, waa ignorance which no Sootohman of that day would like to acknowledge. Thoae now living who knew him will never forget the kindly smUe and the true Highland greeting of oar old host. The old hostess, Mrs. Grant, died in the city of Montreal, during the month of August, 1885, in her ninety-first year. " We shall meet at Grant's," was an ap- pointment often made by parties then living at the extremes of the Sootoh Counties. This old house waa well known in the Scotch Highlands, and it waa a common practice in thoae early daya for friends in Scotland having relativea living in Canada to addreaa lettora for them to "John Grant'a, Montreal." Such letters never failed to reach their deatination. The home or the whereabouta of nearly every Sootoh Highlander or Scotoh family settled in the Scotch-Canadian Counties, or serving in the Hudson Bay Company, was known at thia old houae. During the troublea of 1S37 and 1838. "John Grant's" was the Montreal head- qnartors of the two Glengarry Regimente then serving on the FhilUpsburg and Na- pierville frontier, and also ef the Lachine Brigade, and during the winter of |1838 it was the most notod milltory resort in Mont- real. The writer recalls one night. It was, he believes, the 13th of February, 1838, during the illumination to celebrate the installation of Sir John Colborne as Governor General. About midnight, as the members of the La- chine Troop were leaving for home, an order reached Grant's f .r ten of the Troop to start immediately for St. John's, Within an hour they were on the ice, to cross te La- prairle, to be stationed by twos, every nine miles, to carry dispatohes. 1110 last two reached the old fort at " Isle aux Neix," the same evening by six o'clock. This was quick work, and a hard cold ride, the ther- mometer being below aero and the roads heavy with deep snow. This old honse was the town meeting place of the gentlemen of the Hud sen Bay Company, whose headquarters were at La- chine, and old Sir George Simpson's gig or ccUeehe, during his stay at Lachine, could be seen twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridttys, entering the Inn yard regularly at ten, and leaving punctually at three. This was also the Montreal headquaorters or meeting place of the Scotch lumberers from the Ottawa, They were noisy boys, and made things live- ly en their annual escape from their back- woods to civilized life. They were known in those early days as the "Grand River Roarers," On the opposite side o! the street, on the corner cf St. Maurice, a noted and rising young Glenga^rrian (brother of thoHon, D. A. Macdonald, had his Montreal head-quarters fur many years in the front room in the se- cond storey, just above the present number, "36 ' St, Henry street. This houae waa then known as "Anderson's Grocery." This was J*hn Sandfield Macdonald's clnb-reom or meeting place for his political friends in Lower Canada, and many a deep subjoi-t in politics was discussed In that room. Sand- field aftorwaids, in later years, transferred fats quj^ters to the St, James' club, but the old room and his favorite arm chair were held sacred for hiw by Mrs. Anderson until bis death, which she always called "Sand- field's room," Some of the older politicians of Canada will remember this room. Time has changed everything In and around this old house. The dignity and the mili- tary bearing of the veteran efficers of the Glengarry Highlanders, the dash and the swagger of the young bleeds of the Lachine Troop of Cavalry, with their fierce-looking bear skin helmets, and the noisy but in- nocent revelries of the Scotch lumberers, fresh from their backwoods, are not now heard or seen there. Those days are gone and have passed away forever. How changed is all around I This old house, for several years past, until very lately, was the resort and the headqnartera of horse^ealers. The Canadian trader in horses and the American buyer met there. The language in and around the eld 'Iim- yard " was changed 1 A frequenter of that old place of fifty years ago, were he to have stepped In there on one of those busy days during the horse-trading season, would baldly have appreciated the "horse slang phrases" that would have fallen on his ears.

William Guyton waa a brakeman on the EvensvlUe and Terre Haute Railway, There was a oollison in which he waa badly injur- ed, but remembering that a passenger train was due soon he managed to extricate him- self from the wreck, and, mangled and bleed- ing, seized a red flag and stoggered op the track. Twice he fell from exiianstlon, but pluokily got up and went on and flagged the train 500 yaris from the place of dan- ger. Then be funted away Mid remained onoonscious for two days. When he recov- ered he was a cripple for life. He sent the doctor's bill to the railroad company and payment was refused. Then he sued for $10,000, and a jury has just awarded him $5,083 damages after four years of litiga- tion. Lord Wolseley's refusal to pay f ea to the Herald's College for his new title, and to Ulster King of Arms and his effioials for the Insignia of St. Patrick, calls up a story of how a timilar exhibtion If independence was dealt with by George lY. A certain Knight ot Windsor received the order of St. Michael and St George and after the investiture a bill for the uanal feea was aent to him, which he swore nthlng would Induce him to pay. There was no precedent for auoh a case, so a memorandum waa sent to Sir William Knighton at Windsor, in order that the King's pleasure might be taken. The doou ment was returned with fhe following en- dorsement by the King himself: " Stop the dâ€" d fellow's pay until the claim is cleared.' SlnceT the death of her husband Mrs. Thomas A.
