WATERING CArrLE.-Among the many
causes of stock not thriving as might be
desirable during the winter is their scanty
supply of water. A few have running
water in their cattle yards, and their stock
drink as nature requires it but most
farmers water their stock either at the
pump, or by driving them to running
brook twice, or often but once day
Watering is done by rule from fall tc
spring, regardless Of weather or food.
have observed stock so dry as to refuse
10 eat dry food, but after being waterod
would eat it voraciously. Now, it is q
well settled fact that no animal will thrive
well while suffering for want Of food, wa.
ter or shelter. Let those, therefore, who
want to turn out their stock in the spring
in good condition, attend to these things,
and let them see that the poorer and
weaker stock get as much as they want

Poor THAT THE Moon IS NOT INHAp1-
rED.-Dr. Scoresby, in an account that
he has given of some recent observations
made with the Earl of Roses telescope,
says: " With respect to the moon, every
object on it's surface of 100 feet was now
distinctly to be seen and he had no
doubt, that, under very favorable circum-
stances, it would be so with objects 60
feet in height. On its surface were cra-
ters Of extinct volcanoes, rocks and mass
es of stones almost innumerable. He had
no doubt that if such building as he was
then in we're upon the surface Of the moon
it would be rendered distinctly visible by
these instruments. But there we're no
signs OF habitations such as Ours-no ves~
tige of architecture remain to show that
the moon is or ever was inhabited BY a
race Of mortals similar 10 ourselves. 1t
presented no appearance which could lead
TO the supposilion that it contained any,
thing like green fields and lovely verdure
Of this beautiful world of ours. There
was no water visible-not q sea or river,
or even the measure of a reservoir for
supplying town. or factory-all seemed
%desola;e."
