WATERING Stock IN WINTER A foreign
writer makes the following remarks on water.
ing stock in winter: Farmers know well
that water is Gimlri>hcd in quantity in grass
when the summer has departed. and there is
All abundance Of heat and light: and most
people know the evil result when animals
consume green food with the boar frost npon
it, or when very wet from rains. Nature
has indicated that we should make hay wh,c
the sun shines. as n provision for winter and
that the grass having lost sxty-tive per cent
Ut water by drying. we must make mp for the
deficiency by providing our animals with
drink. Nature has taught the proper oman.
ti,v to take. and wise farmer would in
cold weather. take care that the temperature
Of the water should hc warm. and thus our
live stock would faitou with n smaller guam.
tity Of food Fam or other horses would
less often die from gripes and inflammation if.
when they come in heat from their work.
they were allowed to drink warm water
instead Of being walked into horse pond. or
allowed 10 drink water many degrees below
the temperature Of the stomach Oar L,n.
don brewers understand this. small

tanks. keeping the water always at piop,r
warmth. The horses drink when they
please wi.ht ut risk of injury. RullockS

not less consequence to The mechanic and

who could make u litlle learning go a great
way with the wondering multitude: but such
poor tricks cannot be played off upon the
hidden forces of nature. 1t is the finger Of
Intelligence alone which can touch the secret
springs that set the mountain streams TO the
music Of machinery, and cothe the naked
fields with waving grain. 1t is a maxim in
New England factories, where nuctuatng
and often hostile tariff has taught a wise
economy, that they cannot afford to hire
cheap, ignorant labor. Not many years ago,
"a factory in Lowell imported large humber

GETTING CRAFTS. -Scions for grating can

ened occasionally: or If the ground be not fro
zen. they can be stuck two or three inches
into the soil and left there in perfect safety

We find it to be good plan to stick the sci
ons in the ground at the bottom of the tree

Stable Management Of Horse,

1t is one thing to own horse. but it is
another to know how to take care Of him. -
The Woodstock IN. B y Journal gives few
practical hints on this subject. which are
worth remembering. A stable horse needs
special care and attention. His feeding must
be as regular as the measurement of the hours.
When a change of feed is made. it must be
done with great care-giving a small allow.
ance at first until the stomach becomes used
to the charge. He must be cleaned every day;
and when we say cleaned. we mean all that
can be conveyed by that word. A good
currycomb. brush, and an oiled wooden cloth
are the utensils necessary. First take the
cnrrycomb and begin at the top Of the neck
back of the ears, working the hand both WAYS
Proceed in this way till you have gone over
the entire body and legs. Then take both
comb and brush, and every other stroke, draw
the brush across the teeth of the comb to clean
it. This done, take your cloth and Law the
coat and remove the dust which adheres to the
outside. The face and ears must also feel the
brush.
Few men know how to clean horse pro.
perly. If the above directions are followed
daily, your horses will enjoy good health gen.
orally. STABBED horses mnst be exercised daily.
This is absolutely indispensable to good
health. If the feet of your horses are brittle
and liable TO break and crack, they must be
well oiled once a week. A horse thus treated
will always be ready to 60 when wanted, and
you will not be ashamed either to ride or drive
him.
Another thing quite as important is a clean
and well ventilated stable. We cannot ex-
cuSe any farmer or horse. owner who does not
clean his stable twice a day. A stable should
be so constructed as to have wide passage
way or foor in front to feed FROM Above the
manager should be left foot or two in width
clear and the paSsagc-way should be the
avenue for the supply Of fresh air to the nos
trilS Of the horse.
y horse enjoys good bed. and it should
never be refused nm. At night take your
fork and make it up light. and you will feel
amply rewarded for the humane lreatmen
you have given your beast.

And SOMETHING that's neither Of earth or air,
But endowed with an angels might,

Oh! soul rejoice oh heart be still
