PROTECTING ANIMALS IN STORMY
WEATHER.

Farmers, generally, do not appreciate the
loss sustained in the condition and health
Of domestic animals by their exposure to
cold rains and storms. Most animals can
endure cold as long as they can keep dry,
but their bodies becoming wet, and kept
wet. evaporation commences, which carries
off heat rapidly, and they are soon chilled
through and through. This almost always
deranges health, and most especially with
mich cows, which are less vigorous and less
able to resist sudden changes from cold to
heat with impunity, but the opposite is often
attended with very injurious consequences.
Again, if even the health of the animal is
not seriously impaired, a large quantity
of food viii be required to sustain 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 will be cheaper to house cattle from cold
storms and from wet, whether it be falling
rain or snow. A certain amount of food is
required to keep up the temperature Of the
body, and in extreme cold weather the ap-
petite 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 expensive
TO fatten animals in winter than in warm
weather. There is considerable difference
Of opinion among stock men 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 oh
tanned by keeping cows in stable most of the
time during winter, allowing them to go out
each day for water, and returning them i'm
mediately to the stable. There is no doubt
but the latter system will require less food
than the other, but it is not yet fully estab-
lished that such close confinement is pro-
motive Of the largest development 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 stall in the middle or
warm part of the day seems to be more in
accordance with nature, even though more
food may be required to carry the animal
through. But in stormy weather, or when
it is extremely cold, doubtless the best place
for cattle is under shelter. Nothing pays
better than care and attention of stock dur
ing the winter, and if saving is to be made
both in food and health, all storms and sud
den changes of temperature must be guard
ed against as far as possible.

JAWBOSE OF GIANT.

From the Helena (Montana) Gazette, Nov |.
Yesterday, in company with George W.
FOOte, we took a ride into the foot hills
among the miners, and being invited TO dine
with Richard and Nil Kennedy, two miners
and prospectOrs who reside near the head of
the Dry Gulch, we taIlied for a while. and
partook Of their Inequalities. Among many
curiosities exhibited to US by these brothers
was an enormous jaWbOne containing five
glistening teeth, and all in perfect state Of
preservation. The jawbOne measured
twelve inches in circumference. Mr.. Dick
Kennedy informed us that in coming up
the Missouri river five years ago, the boat
landed at post and party of whites came
in from the pursuit of a thieving band of
Sioux; one of the party had the iawbone in
his possession, and stated that an Indian
scout, who accompanied the whites, led
them into a grove of very tall trees, and
pointing up to where a stretcher was laid
across from one tree to another, nearly one
hundred feet high, informed them that on the
stretcher was laid the body of the great
Indian giant, the grandfather of the celebra-
ted Sioux warrior, Red Cloud. Some of
the party climbed to the streteher and cut
away the fastenings, and the skeleton fell
to the ground, and of course was broken.
The party placed the limbs and body to-
gether, and it measured "nine feet and two
inches" The under jaw, which is now in
the possession of Mr.. Kennedy, was car
ried off by one of the party, and Mr.. Ken
nedy, bought it for twenty dollars. 1t is
indeed a relic Of an enormous human being.
and can be seen at Mr.. Kennedy's cabin at
any time by the curious.

SOW OATS.

There is no crop whose cultivation will
return greater profits to the cotton planter
than the Oat crop, and yet Of all the products
Of the Southern farm none has poorer at
tention. Indeed on many large plantations
not an acre is devoted to this valuable Ce-
real. Even when an attempt is made to
grow oats, they are, as general rule, sOwn
upon the poorest land on the farm, and
seeded in the most rough and imperfect
manner.
1t is quite common to hear planters say
that "Oats do not pay that "the crop is too
uncertain" and the like. The truth is that
the failure TO raise large crops Of oats is due
to causes which would produce failures in
any other crop, if affected in the same way
and to the same extent. In the first place,
planters who fail with oats are always too
busy to SOW the crop at the proper time
they wait for convenient season. In
the second place, they are always too much
in hurry to prepare the land properly 6Dr
seeding. And lastly, they select their poor
est land for this crOp-land that viii pro-
duce neither corn or cottOn-and never
think of assisting this poor land either with
homemade or commercial fertilizers. Tn
der such circumstances it would indeed be
surprising if the crop did not invariably
fail.
Under our present inferior and expensive
labor system, we should seek to stimulate
and extend the cultivation of those crops
which viii give the largest returns from the
smallest amount Of labor expended upon
their production. These are small grain,
including wheat, rye, oats, barley, peas,
clover and grasses.
On some soils-particularl in the flat
sandy pine lands which lie along the coast
tier of counties in the Southern States. ex-
tending as far up as the beginning Of the
granite formation, wheat cannot he success
fully cultivated. Neither are such lands
adapted TO the growth of clover or barley,
but in all Of our rolling clay and rocky lands
wheat can be as cheaply and, successfully
grown as in Virginia or Maryland. The
Oat will grow and thrive on almost any soil.
from the low fiat lands of the coast to the
rocky hIllsides and fertile valleys of the
mountain regions.
The best time for seeding oats in the
cotton belt is in the fall, but the oat is
hardy plant That thrives well sown rs late
as the last Of February. 1t should be borne
in mind that a good crop Of oats can only

be secured in the same way that good
crop of other farm products are made, by
thorough preparation of the soil, careful
seeding and judicious fertilizing.
The land should be cleaned of trash,
briars, bushes, and the like, and then
ploughed thoroughly with good turning
plow or a long diamond-pointed scooter.
BY the latter if the land is free from grass
and stubble, and by the former if rough
and covered with vegetable matter. After
the land is well prepared by thorough
blowing, the seed should be sown at the
rate of from three to five pecks to the acre.
Onvery strong moist or wet lands little
more. Then harrow nicely and cross
harrow the sod, and if the land is open, po-
rous and sandy, much benefit win be de-
rived from running heavy two-horse roller
after the harrow. If the land is not sufi-
GENTLY strong to produce at the rate of
twelve bushels of corn or seven to eight
hundred pounds TO the acre, some fertilizers
should be applied after the land has been
plowed. Thirty bushels of cotton seed, or
$50 pounds Of good superphosphate, thrown
broadcast on the sod and narrowed in with
the seed viii secure a good crop.
We urge our planting friends to turn their
attention at once to the preparation for a
large crop of oats. The crop matures at
time when the use of much corn can be
saved, and in our present condition of
short supply of the grain, will prove great
saving and convenience on the plantation.

EXPLOSION ON THE sun.
A Pillar of Fire Fifty Thousand Miles
High

High.
Mr.. G. A. Young, the astronomer and OBJ
server, at the head of the Astronomical De-
partment of Dartmouth, has communicated
to the Boston journal Of Chemistry an in
teresting paper on an explosion on the sun
which occurred about noon on the 18th of
September last.
There appeared an enormous protuber-
ance or hydrogen cloud on the eastern limb
of the sun, on the 9th, which remained I'M
til noon Of the It'll, described as "a low,
quiet looking cloud, not very dense or bril-
liant, nor in any way remarkable, except
Tor It's SIZE" It was about 100000 miles
long by 1000 miles high. The observer
was called away at 1870 and, returning in
about half an hour, found that there had
been a grand disruption.
The whole thing had been blown to
shreds by some inconceivable upheaval.
The air seemed to be filed with debris. ga
mass Of detached fusiform flaments," rapid
