Wintering Stock.

l think that farmers generally do not
appreciate the importance of keeping
their stock in good condition. Farmers
who have always kepttheir animals poor,
by giving them less than their natures re-
quire, would be surprised to learn how
little more it would take to keep them
in thriving condition. l think it can
not be disputed that it requires more
food to keep poor animal through the
winter than it does a heshy one, and
have them both in as good order in the
spring as they were in the fall-and ev-
cry one knows that horse or COW we'll
wintered, is worth one-third more for
the ensuing summer than the same ami
nal poorly wintered. If young cattle
are not kept increasing in value, what is
led to them is thrown away. 1t costs
far less to raise two year old steer
worth twenty dollars, than it does to raise
three year old of the same value-and
it is cheaper to make two hundred pounds
fpork from pig eight months cd, than
from one eighteen months old-and sc
1rough the whole list Of domestic ami.
mails. Those that have not food suili-
cient to satisfy their appetites, and KEEP
up healthy state of the system, will
not pay for what they do have, while
those that are well fed and kept thrifty,
will we'll pay for their feed and extra
care. | am not al advocate of the plan
Of combining and stuliing an animal to
make prodigy of, but believe in CIV
ing every thing as much good and whole
some food as its appetite requires, and
freedom to exercise its muscles at least a
part of every day.
For proof of my position, | would re-
fer the doubter to his neighbors. Let
him pick out dozen farmers who keen
tn III stock well, and the same number
will 60 upon the plan of scrinping every
thing, and then let him into the affairs Of
each, and see if he does not find the for
mer doing better and making more mon.
ey than the latter. But, SAYS one of
teese thriftless cattle starving advocates,
those farmers that have got good start
and are doing SO well, are able TO keep
their cattle fat and sleek. grant that
they are able, yet every one of them will
tell you that with all his ability he is
not able to keep more stock than he can
keep well.

1t came upon our startled SIGHT
Lake some dark thing unblessed,
More lonely for Tie very life
That round it closely pressed.
The monuments, with stains of age,
Which silently enaced
The records that by pious hands
So.fondly had been traced;
Inc sunken graves where once the feet
vi friends scarce dared to tread,
Lest they should wake the quiet rest
vi their beloved dead;
Now trodden down by idle stems,
And yawnins, where the stone,
by ruder touch, irrevcrentlv,
Had long been overthrown;
Enshrouded, too, by mould and weed
by moses gray and dank;
And briars twned their thorny leaves
With dusty nettles rank.
Tie thistle's ftathery seeds flew past
The SPIDERS shining toll,
AMI deadly nightshade fourished well
In such congenial soil.
While here and there, lonely rose
Dull struggled for the light,
Though fading family, chilled and pale
by each unlovcly sight.
Oh, ancient graves! how many tears,
How many prayers yc knew!
But those who mourncd have passed away,
Though unto death most true.
Now, day by day, busy crowd
Goes gayly hurrying past,
And scares wandering, mournful thought
Or glance, toward thee is cast.
Nor beauty slrinks to know her robes
Have touched the dust ofdeatb;
Nor manhood trcmbies at the chill
Ofthy damp, noxious breath.
And yet, methinks, dark monitor,
That one might well discern,
beneath the dust ofmould ring years
Thy lesson true though STERN
That Death is in the midst of Life;
And though we mercy crave,
There is no knowledge, no deyice,

From the Hmerlcan Farmer.
WORK FOR JANUARY.

Winter ploaehing There are many
periods of the winter, when, from the
mildness of the weather, ploughing may
be done. All such periods should be
availed Of to break up any very stiff, in
tractable clays, that may be intended to
be put in spring crops. BY exposure to
frosts, when broken up, such lands be-
come greatly improved, and lose much
of their tenacity of character, are more
easily worked, less expensive to till, be-
sides being rendered better adapted to
the production Of crops. But this NELL
Grafton in texture, can only be expected,
where the soil is neither too wet, nor too
dry, when ploughed. Iftoo wet, the fur
rows turn up like SO many masses of
mortar, requiring an entire seasons
working to disintegrate them; if too dry,
the ground breaks up in indurated Jumps,
almost msusceptible of reduction to any
thing like proper tilth. The proper
time for breaking up such lands in win
ter, is when it is only tolerably moist;
when the quantity ofwater just enough
to impart a pleasant degree of cohesive
ness to the soil, TO enable the rloughman
to turn his turrow slices without diff
Guilty.
Lands ploughed at this season, should
be Tapped, at an angle of about As de-
grees, so as to expose the greatest sur.
face of the upturned earth to the action
of frost, and to form conduits between
the burrows for the free and uninterrupt-
ed passage Of the water; they should also
be ploughed deep.
Swrface drasD5.--Careful hands should
be made go through the fields in winter
grain, examine the surlace-drain and
remove all distractions to the passage of
the water: this duty should be often re.
peated, SO as to prevent any accumula-
