Winter Care Of Farm Stock,

In most sections OF the country there
was an average crop of hay, but as gen.
eral thing over large districts the oat crop
was either a failure or very light crop.
Over a large portion Of the Northern
States the foddering season for young
stock and sheep this autumn commenced
about one month earlier than it did last
year. Should we have very cold winter
and late spring, in all probability hay in
many sections will be 'scarce and dear
before the cattle can be turne! of 10 pas.

becomes all who have the care OF stock
~ use strict economy we do not mean

having hay for sale when it commands
high price. II the hay is Of poor quality,
it should be fed liuIe Mt time and Of

roots or cabbage is mixed with hay OF poor
quality, it somehow seems 10 give it sea-

wholly on poor hay all the early part o.

three thousand pounds weight Of nutritive
material, and conveys from the various
tissues not less than three thousand pounds

our lives, there is nearly ten pounds Of
this fluid rushing in one continuous lhrob-
bng stream, from the heart through the
great arteries, branch and branch like a

are called 1iIlaries-hair-like vessels -

indeed, that il we pierce the surface at al.
most any part with the point of needle,
we open one of Them, and let out its blood.
In these vessels the blood Yields some oil

The Farmers Pursuit..


OF the many advantages which anper'
cain to the pursuit OF those who cultivate
The soil, the exemption from the Two ex
tremes Of poverty and riches Is not ou'x
considered. This is matter OF no smaIl
moment, when we consider the evil effects
of extreme poverty or great wealth on the
character of children. Our most distln-
ouisbed men. like Daniel Webster, by
man Beecher, and q host OF others that
pi,bt be named, were the fortunate chill
dren of parents neither very rich nor very
POOR. We have ouly to look around us
and observe the condition Of those who
have Inherited large estates, TO be con.
vinced Of the evil in question. Is there
not more domestic happiness, more peace
and contentment, and less vice and folly,
in the middle ranks OF society than among
either the very poor or the very rich
The prayer Of Agur, " Give me neither
proverty nor riches. " etc, is one which
ought TO be sincerely and devouliy offered
by every son aud daughter Of Adam.
Now as all farmers, at least IN the
greatest part Of the Uni'ed States, occupy
or may occupy this middle ground, at a
safe remove from the ex remcs Of poverty
and riches, dcstitulion or over abundance
and as their business almost OF necessity
involves their occupying it, this may be
accounted one OF the characteristic advan.
tages Of their profession,
And after when they rise to the profess
ion Of considerable wealth, as some few oI
them occasionally do, they remain almost
entirely free from the evils and perils OF
such n position, chiefly in virtue OF two
peculiarities Of their occupation One OF
these is, that so long as they remain far
mers the care and oversight Of their land,
require that they be actively and industri
ousy employed and the other is, thn
when they arrive at the possession Of ,ich
es, they DO so usually in a gradual way,
which exempts them from the worst cir
cums,ance ever connected with prosperity
namely, its suddenuess. For it is wher
riches come to man suddenly or unex
pectedly, that they produce, usually, th,
most pernicious rcsults-making him no
un(requently ga fool OF fortune" OF
proud. naughty, reckless, ex,ravagAnt and
dissipated, and justly considered curse
to the community in which he resides.
These consideration seem not undeserv-
ing the attention Of parents and others,
whose estimates Of farmers bufines,
NAV influence their own happiness or The
choice which is to be made by Others -
The selection Of an occupation has mucl
to do with our own happiness and that o
our children and the above thought
are certainly deserving the attention of al
who are undecided as to what occupation
they shall follow,
