Careful attention to stock is all important

the better they like you, provided you are

Regular feeding, is of course, essential. II
young heifers are expected to come in before

force a large flow of milk by feeding Stops,
warm mixtures of various kinds, and careful
protection against exposure to cold No
heifer should be allowed to come in with her
first calf till it is time to turn to grass, if it
can be avoided 1t makes a vast difference
in her permanent value as mixer. The
glands and secretory organs must be dis
tended to their utmost capacity. consistent
with prudence, in order to fix the habit of a
great flow subsequently. By this course, the
organs now influenced more easily than at
any time after, because still growing, ac

cow, to lie a remarkable mixer, must have
room to produce and to hold an extraordinary
quantity of milk. Other things being
equal, hefer coming in on the flush of
grass will always be worth great deal more
than one coming in at this season, unless ex-
traordinary care is bestowed upon her.

Protecting DOmeSticated Animals.

Having called special attention to the i'm
portance OF care in this branch Of good hus-
bandry, let cattle feeders read what the
dairyman OF the Utica Herald says on this
subject
Farmers generally do not appreciate the
loss sustained in the condition and health of
domesticated animals by their exposure to
cold rains, sleet and snow. Most Of them
can endure severe cold so long as they can
keep dry, but when their bodies become wet
and are kept wet, evaporation begins, which
carries off heat rapidly, and they are soon
chilled through. This deranges health, and
most especially with mich cows, which are
less vigorous and able to resist sudden changes
from heat to cold than stock not devoted to
the dairy Most of our domesticated ami
mails endure changes from cold to heat with
IMMUNITY, but the opposite Is often attended
with very injurious consequences. Again,
even if the health of animals is not seriously
impaired, larger quantity of food Will be
required to supply the heat thus lost. or
there must be necessarily a waste of flesh.
On the score of economy in food, to say
nothing of deranged health, it is cheaper to
house cattle in wet and stormy weather,
whether rain or snow.
certain amount of food is required TO
keep up the temperature of the body. and in
extremely cold weather the appetite is much
sharper than in mild weather. The extra
food ordinarily used in cold weather is not
employed for laying up flesh, but is consumed
to make heat. 1t is this principle which
renders it more difficult and expensive to fat
ten animals in cold than in warm weather.
There is wide difference of opinion
among stockmen in regard to the winter
management of mich cows. The old class of
farmers insist that stock is healthier when
allowed to run in the yard most of the day !;
while others urge that the best results are OBJ
tanned by keeping cows in the stable most of
the time during winter, allowing them to go
out daily only for water and return immedi-
ately to the stable.
There is no doubt but the latter system
will require less food than the other, but it is
not yet fully established that such close con-
finement is promotive of the largest develop
ment of health and vigor, even when stables
are kept clean and well ventilated. In good
weather stock enjoy their freedom in the
yard, and few hours from their stalls in the
middle or warmer part of the day seems to
be more in accordance with nature, even
though more fodder may be required to carry
them through. But ia stormy weather, or
when it is extremely cold. doubtless the best
place for cattle is the stable or under shelter
Nothing about the farm pays better than care
and attention to stock during the winter, and
if a saving is to be made both in food and

Death of the Old Year.
BY ALFRED TENNYSON


Full knee-deep lies the winter snow,
And the winter winds are YEARLY signing
Toll We the church bell, sad and slow.
And tread softly and speak low,
For the old year lies a-dying
Old year, you must not die.
You came to readily,
You lived with us SO steadily.
Old year, you shall not die.
lie lieth still he doth not move;
He will not see the dawn of day
He hath no other life above
lie gave me friend and a true. true love,
And the new year will take them away.
Old year. you must not go !;
So long as you have been with us,
Such joy you have seen with us-
Old year, you shall not 90.
He frothed his bumpers to the brim
a lollier year we shall not see;
But though his eyes are waxing dim,
and though his foes speak i'll of him.
He was friend to him
Old wear. YOU shall not die
We did 50 laugh and cry with you,
I've half a mind to die with you,
Old year, if you must die.
He was full Of joke and jest;
But all his merry quips are DER.
To see him, across the waste,
His son and heir doth ride post-haste.
But he'll be dead before
Every one for his own.
The night is starry and cold, my friends
And the new year blithe and bold my
friends,
Comes up to take his own.
How hard he breathes over the snow
| heard just now the growing cock.
The shadows filter to and fro
The cricket chirps-the light burns low,
lis nearly twelve O'Clock
Shake hands before you die
Old year. we'll dearly rue for you
What is it do for you?
Speak out before you die.
His face is growing sharp and thin
Alack : our friend is gone.
Close up his eyes-tie up his chin
Step from the corpse and let him in
That standeth there alone
And waiteth at the door.
There's a new foot on the floor my friends
And new face at the door, my friends.
The new years at the door.

CARE OF PICS IN WISTER.-lt Is bad for
the swine that the city societies to prevent
cruelty to animals do not extend their Offices
into the country. We wonder how store
nios survive the winter treatment they often
receive. They are fed at irregular intervals
and unequal supplies in quantity and quality.
They have no suitable shelter and are often
confined in muddy pens without any oppor-
tunity to keep themselves dry and clean.
The Dig is luxurious liver, if you give him
a chance. and will keep himself clean and
comfortable. No animal will pay better for
warm quarters and a plenty of straw This
can usually be had in any quantity and at
small cost about the farmers premises. The
stv should have its full share, and as often as
it gets worked up fine it should be thrown
ont. and be replaced. Then it is exceedingly
profitable that the feeding trough be kept
hinder cover Swine do not enjoy eating in
the snow and rain more than other animals.
Give them chance to follow their instincts,
and then see Just how much they love snow
hanks and rain storms. Then the feeding
should not be simply the refuse of the family,
hut substantial food at regular intervals. and
in quantities adapted to their weight. Store
nigs want to be kept in good thriving cond
lion until they are put up for fattening
Money is sunk in trying to make pork out
of stunted pigs,
