Effect OF Bright Red On Animals.

WE have never been able to arrive at a
solution of the curious effects of the sight
of scarlet or brilliant orange or crimson
on some animals No treatise on natural
history we ever have seen gives satisfac.
tory explanation of facts which must often
have been noticed by the most unobserv-
ant. An exchange says:
Many persons have unquestionably lost
their lives in consequence of wearing arti.
cles of dress which provoked homestead
ed animals to such pitch of fury as to
lead to melancholy results. Females for
example, in attempting to cross pasture,
wearing red shawl, a red covering for
the head, a scarlet dress, flowing scarlet
ribbons, where bulls are grazing, hazard
their lives. Oxen, otherwise peaceably
disposed, become intensely Infatuated al
some seasons by the sight of bright red
handkerchiefs, or almost any article OF
female dress of that particular hue. 1t is
equally curious that turkeys manifest the
same restiessness and ultimate excitement
at red flags or red dresses The turkey
cock on such occasions assumes extraordi.

Selecting Cows.

A VERMONT stock raiser gives the fol-
lowing rules for selecting cows =" First,
| get broadside view of the animal, at
the distance of about two rods, as I have
noticed for years that there was great
similarity in the general proportion of all
first-class mixers, being very small in
girth Just back of their forward legs, as
compared with their girth just forward
of their hips. have never known first
rate mixer, af any breed, not thus pro-
portioned; so that if this form is wanting
in an animal have recommended to me,
[ do not care to look at her more, unless
| want to breed for some other purpose
than the dairy. For breeding oxen L
should want cow of reverse proper
tions, .. e., larger girth forward. l next
feel the size OIL the milk veins, and trace
them to their entrance into the chest,
which, in superior cows, are large, adj
hitting the ball of the larger finger; if
divided, or subdivided, as is sometimes the
case, Judge of the size of each orifce, as
care less for the size of the
vein itself than the orifce. Next
examine by sight or touch the udder
or bag, which must be capacious in order
to hold much milk, with teats wide apart
and free from large seed warts or sores of
any kind. l then inquire how long she
goes dry before calving, as don't want q
family cow to give milk less than forty-six
weeks out of every fifty-two; Also. as to
the quality of the milk; and, to close, l
milk her with my own hands"

Raising Tomatoes.

HARDLY year passes but the different
AGRICULTURAL and horticultural journals
contain one or more articles on the cult
vation of the tomato. If you want them
for early market, the seed should be
planted in a hot-bed, about the goth OF
February in the latitude of Chicago to
central Illinois, but if much farther north
not before the 1st to the 10th of March.
When they are two inches high, trans
plant them in new bed, three inches
apart, and when they cover the ground,
transplant again (still under glass; six or
eight inches apart Grow them as slowly
as possible; the night temperature not
much below so degrees, the day tempera-
ture so to so degrees.
| Transplant into the open air when all
danger of frost is over and the ground is
warm, say from the 25th of May to June
1st, five feet apart, upon ridges or broad
hills. Do not put them on trellises. unless
you are curious to see how much bushel
of tomatoes might cost, but let them run
upon brush, or something to keep them of
the ground, if it is heavy soil. -
Cultivate well, pinching off straggline
shoots from time to time, and you viii
have early tomatoes and good ones
Eureka and Keyes are good early sorts
| and Large Red or Valencia Red are gooc
late sorts. Ifthey are simply for house
hold USE you may safely wait until Marcf

Food and Shelter for Cows.

SOME years ago a farmer, ofour own &C
quaintance, found himself in possession,
at the coming in of winter, of thirty two
COWS, with only stable room enough for
ten of the number. The balance were
consigned to an open shed, with rack
running along the enclosed side, and fed
with hay alone. Those in the stable, in
addition to hay, had about quart of
Indian meal day each, till the approach
OF spring, when they ceased to be MIXED
Besides this, they were thoroughly carded,
each morning, before being turned into the
yard for the day-an attention which those
outside did not enjoy. Some said that
feeding meal would stop the flow of milk,
by giving too much flesh to the animals,
but no such result followed. The COWS
continued in excellent health, supplied a
fair quantity of rich milk and were alto
gether in better condition, in the spring,
than those wintered in the open shed.
The meal undoubtedly had something to
do with the difference, but not more, per-
haps, than was caused by the daily carding
to which the stabbed stock were subjected.

Providing Fuel.

THOSE who live on farms embracing a
! good section of timber land, and use wood
instead of coal for fuel, should improve the
season OF frost and snow for filling their
wood-sheds with fuel for a years use. No
portion OF farmers buildings pays better
or Is more convenient than one for storing
wood. 1t need not be built specially for
the purpose, but with little extra expense
can be made capable of storing many
things which are too often left in the field
or elsewhere, and, when wanted, difficult
to find. One end of the structure should
be appropriated to wood, where it can be
piled up IN the winter and ready for use as
the season advances. 1t is a good plan to
commence filling early in the winter, let
ing green wood occupy the place of the
dry, adding daily or weekly of green, as
the dry is used up. When the W God lot is
not too remote from the dwelling, it will be

Irrigation In Winter

THE popular idea that irrigation is good
only Tor growing plants is erroneous.
Water has a very important action upon
any soil where there is good drainage, and
makes the inert matter available for plant
food. In the most successful case OF irriga-
ton that has come under our notice the
water Is kept running through the winter.
The freezing in severe weather makes
complete covering of ice, which acts as a
mulch. The grass starts early IN the
spring, and the crop is kept up to two tons
to the acre without any other fertilizerthan
water. There lisa mine of wealth in every
brook that can be turned upon a dry soil,
if the farmer will work it.-R0rI Neo

Prevent or Repent!

When health has been sacrificed for want of the
care necessary to protect it, regrets are unavail
ing. 1t is better to preuent than to repent. The
most incement season of the year is at hand, and
It's cold and damp are the source of ipnumerable
distressing ailments. The best means of escaping
them is to keep the outward surface of the body
comfortably warm with suitable clothing, and the
internal organs in vigorous condition by the oc
casional use of healthful tonic and corrective
Winter makes tremendous drafts upon the vital
forces, and, therefore, it is a season when pure
vegetable stimulant and invigorant like HOSTEL
TER'S STOMACH BITTERS is ofinfinite use ,es-
pecially to the weak and feeble. 1t gives sta13na
to the system, and thereby enables it to Withstand
the shocks of cold, which produce cough, bronchi
tbs, catarrh, and other diseases of the organs of
respiration. Dyspepsia and every species of indi-
gestion are also greatly aggravated by cold, damp
weather, and for these complaints the BITTERS
are an acknowledged specific. There is no face
better known in this country, and, indeed,
throughout the civilized portions of the Western
Hemisphere. than that this genial preparation is
swift and certain remedy for all ordinary diseases
of the stomach and the liver.
