An Anneal io Reasnu.

Health would be much more carefully guarded
than il is at present, and the average Of human
life heightened by many years, IL common sense
and the light of experience were accepted by the
universal public their medical monitor and
guide. The true philosophy Of health is simple.
II consists in refraning from indulgences and i'm
prudences which impair the vital forces, and in
supplying any deficiency Of vital power and con-
stitutional yigor that may exist, by invigorating
and alternative treatment To reinforce and regu-
late a feeble system, and to prevent more vigor-
ons physique from yielding to unhealthy and de-
bilitating Influences Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is unquestionably the most potent of all vegetable
purifiers. As a stimulant, IL is the purest ever ad
ministered in medical practice; tonic and
stomachic, the most infallibe; as an anti-bilious
agent, the safest and surcst, and an apcrient
and regulating medicine, mild and painless, yet ir
resistiblc II is protection against disease OF
every kind, and all seasons, and is particularly
elicacious means OF forearming the system
against the ailments generated by a raw, damp
ungenial atmosphere. Hence its great value as
winter tonic and invigorant. No one predisposed
to indigestion, biliousness, constipation, rheuma
tism or nervous headache, should ever be without
this Vital Elixir. AS certain class OF country
dealers are very anxious to dose their customer,
with local bitters," Of worthless pernicioui
character, which they represent to be equal o
superior to the great national tonic, the publi,
is hereby foreirdTTled against their 81 tricks o

follows F.: "One of the pests of the farmer
is rats. To keep them within endurable
bounds is somewhat a difficult matter, for
a rat is as cunning as a fox, and as hard
to catch but there is such a thing as
working strategy on it. A rat never digs
hole unless it has some projection to
begin with, say stone, stick of wood,
or anything else that makes an angle with
the ground; cellar wall it likes best. If
rat is chased in a cellar, or other room,
it will run round by the wall, and is de-
cidedly averse to leaving it. From this
habit we have a hint how to ut-general
it. The common steel-trap is the best ar
ticle for the purpose. Stand barrel or
box, or other article, within four inches
of the wall, and in that open space set the
trap, without anything to hide it. The
rat, in following the wall, will 60 into the
trap rather than go round the barrel.
When it is caught smoke the trap with a
piece of burning paper, shift your barrel to
another place, and set the trap as before. "
In Germany, where potatoes are SO

Milk and Dairy Products of the United
States.

THE number of COWS in the United
States in 1870 was, in round numbers, ten
millions. When we enter into the ques-
ton of the value of the product of this
number Of cows, we are at once struck
with the apparent poverty of the result.
The experience of the past fifty years has
led to the estimate of about four and. a
half quarts of milk per day as the average
yield of COW throughout the entire year.
When this is compared with the average
yield of dairies in Great Britain, where
cows, as general thing, are much better
fed and cared for than with us, and
where it amounts to but -four and three
fourths quarts, this yield would seem to
be somewhat overstated. Our own opinion,
founded on somewhat extended obser-
walton, would lead us to reduce these fig
ures considerably. But taking four quarts
as basis, the quantity of milk yielded
would be equal to Ia, GOO, 900, 900 quarts,
which, at three cents per quart, would
realize S43S, 100000 as its money value.
Of this, 1900, ,OOO, 900 quarts would be re-
quired to produce the 100000, 900 pounds
of cheese in 1870, and 1000, 900, 900 quarts
to produce the 700, 900, 900 pounds of but
ter made in the same period, leaving 6, 4OO,,
| 600, COO quarts for other uses. Tabulated
the figures would stand thus, with theiI
values:

Management of Manure in Winter.

WHERE all the stock is kept in one
large barn, with a manure-cellar under
meath, there is little difficulty in managing
the manure, especially if there is a large
tank for the spare liquid. The main points
are to provide sufficient ventilation so that
no deleterious gases shall penetrate to
the hay or cattle above, and to use enough
material to keep the manure from getting
too wet.
On farms where considerable straw and
corn stalks are used and where the man.
ure is kept out of doors, the main point is
to get the manure into a compact heap.
Where the manure from the cow-stables
or pig-pens is thrown out into small
heap by the door, it freezes through and
no fermentation takes place until spring,
but if all the manure from the horses,
COWS, sheep, and pigs is put together in a
large, compact heap, fermentation will
set in, and the frost will not penetrate
more than few inches on the outside.
Our own plan is to place the heap in some
central point and wheel all the manure
daily on to the heap, shake it out, and
spread it about the heap, and endeavor as
much possible to mix the horse, COW,
and pig manure together. 1t is necessary
to insist on this point, as the men have a
great diSinclination to spread the manure
about. If they become negligent, set them
to turn the whole heap over. This will
do the manure good, and at the same time
teach the men lesson. They will soon
! learn that manure heap, carefully spread
out, can be handled as much easier to one
left in small heaps with the cornstalk:
running from the lower barrowful to the
one above, as a welI-made load of hay
can be unloaded with less labor than one
built without thought or skill. 1t will
pay to manipulate the heap with as mucl
care as if you were making mammoth
hot-bed An hours work now, wheI
there is comparatively little to do, viii
save two hours work during the bus.
days of spring. Manure so managed, i
the stock is well fed, can be reduced il
bulk one half without the loss of any fer
tilizing material Last year our manur
so managed was in splendid condition b,

The barometer hung on the pinnacle mast,
And 1t made drefile show,
AS the mercury fell, and fell, and fell,
Till 1t never fell SO low.
What did Jack do as he saw 1t fall?
He gave an awful frown,
And seized the darned jigamaree in flash,
And turned it upside down.
As he held it tight in deadly grasp,
He shivered from top to toe,
For the storm fought hard to have its way,
But 1t hadn't no sort of show,
For his grip was grip of iron, you see,
And he gripped with grim despair,
Till the clouds cleared off and the wind died out
And the sky was once more clear.

Meat for Fowls in Winter.

NATURE has provided for wild birds an
abundance of easily-digested food at the
time they need it most, for when nesting,
at the beginning of warm weather, the
army of insects that keeps pace with the
new vegetation supplies every element
needed in the formation of eggs. As hens,
whether wild or domesticated, are no ex-
ceptions to the general law, their laying
depends very much on the amount of ami
NAL food they cat, and when the ground
is frozen, or when they are kept shut up
either in summer or winter, they must be
given butchers meat of some kind.
Calves plucks, and the plucks of sheep
and lambs, with the hearts and livers at
tached, are the best for the purpose. The
mode of preparation is important. We
have seen such things thrown whele and
uncooked into the poultry yard but there
is much waste, because the firmer tissues
can not be pecked to pieces so as to be
swallowed by the fowls, and cats, dogs,
and rats pray upon what is left overnight,
besides raw meat makes hens quarrel
some among themselves. The proper
way is to boil until tender, and run
through sausage machine, and the alb
sence of bones facilitates the latter opera
tion, on which account we do not procure
calves and beeves' heads when the plucks
are to be had. If not convenient to use a
mincing- machine, then take for small
quantity of meat an ordinary chopping
knife and wooden bowl, or for larger
operations box, such as is used in mix
ing cut feed for horses, and a spade with
a good steel blade ground to a Keen edge.
After chopping, add to the mass the Ii
quor in which it was boiled, thickened
with meal and seasoned with cayenne
and salt, and feed warm. If it is too
much trouble to provide for your fowls in
winter an equivalent for insect forage,
then give only grain but expect to pro,
cure your eggs of somebody else who
makes an artificial summer for his poul.
