CARE OF STOCK IN rEBRUARr.

February is one ofthe most critical
months in respect to stock as the
weather Is ohangeable, and sudden
transitions from mild weather, to in
tense cold, frequently take place.
Stock should be carefully attended to
this month and not suffered to fall
away. Working horses and oxen should
be kept in suitable eondition-not too
fat. but in good heart for the Spring
work. When not atWork they should
have exercise. Regularity in feeding
and watering is essential, also COM
Portable shelter, and at the same time,
sufficient ventilation. Warmth is to q
certain extent an equivalent for food,
but i is possible TO injure the health
Of animals BY keeping them In close
il-VentiIated stables, byres, sheds, or
pens. the fumes from stable manure
produce diseases in horses therefore
perfect cleanliness Is necessary.
mlICh COWS should be kindly treat
ed-ted on good hay, and scalded corn
meal etc. Such as are in calf should
not get Washy, weak food or any thing
tending TO create lOoseness of the
bowels as this may cause abortion or
a. least, have an unfavorable effect on
the calves. They should bo set dry
two months before the time of calying.
Some dairymen milk to the last week.

How TO be Miserable.

Get angry with your neighbOr and
think you have not a friend in the
world. Shed a tear or two, and take
a walk in the burial ground, eOntinu-
ally saying to yourself: "When shall
l be buried there 2n
Sign a note for a friend, and never
forget your kindness, and every hour
in the day whisper to yourself: II
wonder if he will ever pay that nOte?''
Think every body means to cheat
you. Closely examine every bill you
take, doubt its being genuine till you
have put the owner to a great deal OF
trouble.
Put confidence in nobody and be
lieve every man you trade with to be
a rogue.
Never accommodate if you can help
it. Never visit the sick or afflicted,
and never give S farthing to assist
the poor.
Buy as cheap as you can, and screw
down TO the lowest mill. Grind the
faces and the hearts Of the unfOTtu-

Brood over your misfortunes, your
lack of talents, and believe that at no

Let the wOrkhOuse be ever in your

Follow these recipes strictly, and

PraIIng for Rain

Perhaps there is no class Of profes-
siOnal gentlemen more given TO tel
ling anecdotes ION themselves than
the Clergy. VINO, for example, but a
minister could be so thoughtful or the
public hilarity as to preserve for "the
general joy Of the whole company"
as Macbeth saith, the following:
the long drought of this summer
recalls some of the quaint, and, AS we
should think in these days, over
familiar expressions Of our fathers
when praying for rain. In 1872 ge-
NAL company were travelling in a
stage-eOach from Albany to Niagara
Falls. Rev. Jedediah Morse, Edward
Everett, Col. T. H. Perkins, and
Chandler Starr, made up the party.
The dry weather Of that season called
from Mr.. Morse the following anec-
dOte: A Cape Cod clergyman one
Sabbath had prayed most earnestly
for rain. He entTeated the Lord to
''uncOrk the bottles Of heaven, and
send down the refreshing showers. "
The drought had lasted through
August and a part OfSeptember. Tues
day morning the rain storm began,
and continued with great violence till
Friday, flooding the country, and
sweeping off bridges in all directions.
Saturday night il set in to rain again,
and Sabbath morning it was still
pouring down. This time the prayer
was as follows: 30 Lord, we recent
ly took occasion to entreat Thee to
uneOrk the bottles of Heaven, and
send down the refreshing showers,
but we did not mean that the cOrks
should be throJUR dI0dy" Mr.. Starr
followed with a story Of "ParsOn
Howe" of Milton, Connecticut. On
a similar occasion, If not during the
same drought, he petitiOned for relief
in these words; 20 Lord, we want
rain very much. The rye is suffering
prOdigiOusly. Of corn we shall not
have half crop. As for the potatoes
it is all up with them; and there's
that grass of Deacon COmstOck's, il is
as red rs fOx's tall"

Some philosopher writes: Heaven
help the man who imagines he can
dodge enemies by trying to please ev-
erybOdy. Ifsuch an individual evel
succeeded we should be glad Of it-nOt
{ iat one should be going through the
world trying te find beams to knock
an thump bis poor head against, dis.
putting every mans opinion, fighting
and elbowing and cr0wding all who
i ffer with him. That, again, is another
extreme. Other people have a right 10
their opinions; so have you. Don't
fall into the error Of suppOsing they
will respect you more for turning your
coat every day to match the color of
theirs. Wear vOur own cOlOrs in spite
of winds and weather, storms and
sunshine. It costs the vaseilating ana
irresOlute ten times the trouble 70
wind and shuttle and twist that il
does honest, manly independence 20
stand its ground.
