valuable information. Mr. Miller is not man of
limited knowledge and we blame none for but
advise all who wish 10 become acquainted with
matters of history es connected with the Bible,
but we do blame people for being fright tened
or made crazy. We cannot better express our
feeling upon the subject than in the language OF
Ahe following paragraph from the Boston Olive
Branch:
9'he Rev Mr.. MILLER, says he has not dis.
covered n mistake OF a hundred years in his
calculation OF the coming of christ and of the
millennium He still expects to see the visible and
tangible appearance of Christ in 1913 The
fancies OF men, however honest and siccere they
may lie, christians should mover receive Mr.
Miller knows no more that sublect
than any other man. God has not reveal
ed it to angels nor TO the human nature of his
son.
1t is a secret that shall not he foreknown by
man until The terrible moment it shall burst up
on an astonshed world. Much more learned
men than Mr. Millerlave thought The millennium
will have no connection will, the end of The
world, but will be period of the universal pre-
vaence OF genuine christianity, of three hundred
thousand years duration. And certainly If il is n
correct rule ofpropheicai scripture inlerpreta-
ton, that in Daniel and the apocalypse, -'time,
times and half time; each day in these three
certainly so is the 'miUe thousand years in
which Christ is to reign upon the earth. And
by the same laws of of Interpretation, it is reveal
ed dat after the coming OF Christ in the unver
sal establishment Of christian worship, the world
in extraordinary prosperity is to exist at least
100000 years, besides period OF hundreds Of
years of terrible npostacy, after all this, be-
fore the end Of the world shall come. Let
none therefore be troubled by the dreams Of this
man. 1t however should he remembered by all,

WARM HOUSES FOR CATTLE 1t is evident to
every observing farmer that cattle ought to have
a warm house during the winter in our old eli.
mate. Much less fodder is necessary to support
cattle and keep them in good condition if they
have a warm place in cold weather. IF an an
ima is in barn stable, through which the
wind can whistle, and the snow can drive in Sc
we're weather when man. needs his wooden gar
ments, close rooms and a good fire to keep him
comfortable, surely they must suffer, and while
suffering they cannot thrive, and large quantity
of fodder will be necessary to support life.
But in IN aking the cattle house warm, it must
not he forgo l,en that animals, as well men
need pure air to breathe, and number of large
animals require large quantity of this requi.
site Of life.-To give the advantage ola warn
house and pure air for respiration, it should be
open in 'front.' ut least for few feet in width
near the heads of the cattle, and ali other parts
should be made warm as possible.
1t is very important that the cold air SHOULD,
be excluded from under the house, both on ac.
count of it's rendering The cattle uncomfortable
and causing the to freeze down. Some
sheds in which cattle are heIie,ed are left op.
en- at top, when they might be rendered comfort
able ny laying even a coarse floor and throw
ing some fodder on it. When the boarding is
open, the tie up may be made warm for time
by plaserng with green manure, and this meth
cd with close attention TO repairs during the
winter, is much better than none in keeping the
poor animals warm; but the better way is tc
have good light boarding or some patterns tt
stop the cracks as these will be permanent
improvements that will save more than twice
the expense in one season. Yankee Farmer
ENGLISH AGRICULTURE.-The good land o
England is much more productive than that o
America; and this superiorityis probably derived
not so much from great original strength of sol
as from more skillful agrIcu lure, depending
mainly on two great facts, faithful tillage and
faithful man,sring. a
The English farmer does not believe there
is anything necessarily inherent in the nature Of
agood soil, which makes it productive, indepen.
dently of nutr'cous matter and foreign alitnen
returned to it by the cutvator, az a compensa'
ton to the crops it has yielded, Hence, his first
his principal care is, to collect and form manure
from every possible source. e..
