Of no benefit in an Agricultural Society,

there is prospect Of their getting pre-

it is our humble opinion that politics and
farming ought not be mixed together,

make much il any difference.

WATERING CATrLE. Among the
many causes OF, stock not thriving as
much as might be desirable during the
winter, is their too scanty supply Of wa
ter. A few have running water in their
cattle yards, and their stock can drink
as nature requires it /; but most farmers
water their stock either by the pump Or
BY driving them to a running brook
twice, or often but once day. Water
ing is done BY rule from fall to sping,
regardless Of weather Or food. l have
observed stock SO dry AZ 10 refuse 10 eat
dry food, but after being watered they
eat it varaciously. Now. it is a we'll
settled fact that No. animal will thrive
while suffering for want Of food, water
or shelter. Let those, therefore, whe
want to turn out their stock insthe spring
ia good condition attend TO these things,
and let them see that the poorer and
i1eakey stock get as much as they want
