Care of Dairy Stock in Winter.

The question in the wintering of any
stock is, not that which costs the least
present money, but that which paws best
in the end. The production Of milk and
the yearly birth of calf are such great
drains upon the vital energies that the
COW, and especially the young one not
vet matured, requires full share of the
most nutritious food, to keep the system
in perfect condition. She requires not
only food but absolutely good shelter,
and perfect Quiet. If this all be carefully
attended to, we should hear but little of
vicious animals, and the unproductive-
ness of dairy stock.
One of the first requisites for properly
wintering COWS is an abundance Of the
best quality of early-cut and well cured
hay. If this be not obtainabIe, more
grain must be taken in the succeeding
season in this respect; for, however cheap
grain may be, unless supplemented with
good, bright hay, or corn fodder, the
best results cannot be reached Indeed.
it is too often the case that the damaged
hay is placed in the NOW or stack with
the better quality of hay. This not only
INJURIES the latter but the former gains
nothing by its being so placed; and the
cows which should have the best are
obliged to fare with other cattle of less
value.
The COWS should be placed under shell
ter during all cool nights in the fall; and
in the winter, should be constantly
stabbed except when taking the necessary
exercise. Feed literally and uniformly
in the fall and early winter and the stock
will not have to be crowded in the spring
to bring them to the proper condition.
Keep the COWS in good flesh; not really

4 WOrkingman's Advice.

Workmen, labor according to your
strength; if you are weak, work slow and
take more time, but keep at it. Be prompt,
or else you will blame your servant for
not doing what your tardiness prevented.
Men start ten minutes late and miss the
train, then scOld their horses because they
didn't go faster. Improve spare moments,
or you will lose what you worked days to
gain. Little leaks at the bottom let out
what is put in at the top. Do little jobs
twiXt heavy work While waiting now
and then, as you have to daily, if but a
few minutes, improve them. You can
drive nail, or pull weed, or read a
page, put hinge on the gate, put in a
light OF glass, bring your pillow from the
field, put your machine under shelter, post
few accounts, arrange those goods ON
the shelf.
Housewife, sew on that button, mend
that rent, omit the halfhour's gossip and
glance over the paper, see how the world
moves, learn that money is scarce and see
why your husband must ecOnOmize More
is wasted than is tasted, if we don't use
the minutes for the little odds and ends.
A widely circulated book, it is said, was
written by the author while waiting for
his wife to tie her bonnet strings. Don't
loaf two hours after you have done your
marketing. While you are lounging at
the store, doubtless your wife is home
chopping wood or peeling the bark from
tn -23ce posts to cook your dinner. Time
improved IS money; and money saved
is money gained. Workman, if you would
be rich or learned, improve the time.
Your shoe is begged; put it on
BriQhtOn Adg0nce.

TWILIGHT IN WINTER.


By W. W. STORY.
Once more ! stand beneath this spreading beech,
Where talking, dreaming, loving, we have lain
80 many happy day.
Now thou art gone beyond thoughts utmost
reach,
Beyond the JOY we knew, the love, the pair,
Out on the dim, dark way.
The problem is resolved for thee, butI.g
Crushed, questioning, despairing, still remain,
And nothing thou wilt say.
Is love so weak thou dost not heed my cry?
Is memory vanishing, so vain,
That death wipes all away?
o cruel secret. wilt thou ne'er be told?
torruring Nature, that vast once bliss,
Vouchsafed in love 10 us,
Those hours and days of vanished happiness,
To sting with them thus!
Let me forgeti oh. blind these eyes that look
Forever backward TO that happy past
Behind her grave that IiesI
oh, hold not up that sad pathetic book
OF loves sweet recOrdsl In that grave be cast
Those tOrturing memories.
Let me forgeti All, how can forget?
And what were life without that tender pain,
So Deep and oh, so sad?
No. rather let these sorrowing eyes be wet
With endless useless tears, than e'er again
With heartless smiles be gladl
The blast among the moaning branches grieves,
And frozen is the laughter of the brook
Death on the cold earth lies.
All fallen my joys, like these glad leaves,
Through whose green haunts of song the summer
shook
Odors and melodies.
Let me begonel my thoughts are wild and hard,
BY grief distracted, shivered shattered, torn
In struggles fierce and vain
And like loose strings TO tones discordant Jared,
Are all those sweet membranes fOrlOrn,
That thrill through heart and brain
FAREWELL upon this life turn my back,
Nothing the world can give is good to me,
A tant on all things lies.
Joys are all pOisOns-llfe an endless rack,
And this fair earth, that was heaven to thee,
Is hideOus to my eyes.

Lost Discharges.

SOLDIERS have often experienced much
difficulty in getting their discharge certl-
f1cates duplicated. In response to letter
from Senator Ferry, of this State, con-
corning the matter, the Adjutant General
of the United States says:
II have to inform you that before tav-
orable action can be taken in this depart
ment the soldier must furnish an affidavit
that he has made diligent search for 1t and
cannot recover it.
Affidavits from two or more reliable
persons, (officers of his former command
preferable) establishing his identity, must
also be furnished.
All af1davits forwarded must have the
certificate of the Clerk of Court OF Rec
ord, showing that the civil officer before
whom the oath was administered was
duly authorized to administer oaths. The
company and regiment in which the sol,
der served should be stated. '-GTaad

SOWING THE VIVID.

leaving III fright? Nobody has been
killed by the colored people. nor even
hurt. And so far as We can learn there
are 10 threats against any one who neg

his morasses and jungles, as the case may
be- The wicked fee when no man pur-
sueth. and the offenders Of Grant parish
having gone unwhipt of justice for two
years, begin to feel the alarms suggested
by guilty conscience The late horrible
murder Of Mcdonald in Jackson parish,

this morning, are but examples which the
white people are setting up for the imita-
ton by the colored people. For the latter
will surely appeal to force at last for that
protection which the laws fail to afford
them.
When the time for retaliation arrives,
when the long downtrodden negro finally
decides 60 make use of those means of
defense furnished by nature to defend his
property and his life from pillage and
murder. there will go upa loud complaint
from those who are now provoking the
coming conflict. At present. these out
RACES are gingerly spoken of as popular
demonstrations. ''The citizens are assert

nence is being properly chastised. But
when another class. more numerous than
the present disturbers Of the peace. and
composed of those who have at least equal
rights as citizens. man for man, resort to
violence in self-defense, the cry is raised
of NEGRO outrages," ''mob violence"
etc. The time is coming when there
will be no one to listen to these
alarming cries from those whose
injustice provokeS the wrath of their more
peaceably inclined neighbors. nor none to
redress even their actual wrongs. For
the negro is rapidly learning that if he
would have his rights recognized he must
fight for them. and he is determined to
have this recognition. We are utterly
opposed to all violence, but if the colored
people of this State can not be permitted
to live in peace without fighting for the
privilege, we shall not be the first to blame
them or pity such Of their victims as may
bring misfortune upon themselves. Those
who SOW the wind rarely ever like to
reap the whirlwind. though It is a law of
nature that they shall do 50.

The party Of distinguished visitors now
in the city has been invited by the Cham
ber of Commerce to visit the forts and the
outlets Of the river to-day. and will leave
for below at an early hour this morning.
They will be accompanied by gentleman
who fully understand the wants of this
port. and who. We trust. will be able to
satisfy them Of the national importance
OF providing New Orleans with q good
harbor, or. 10 be more exact. with a suffi-
cient entrance 20 the one we now have.
Neither of the natural outlets OF the river
can be depended upon at all times for
varying occasionally through the agencies
of high and favorable winds to seventeen
or eighteen feet. We require from twenty
to twenty-five feet. The system of irri-
tating the bar and trusting to the current
to carry off the mud raised by the screw
Of the dredge boat has succeeded in main
tanning a depth Of about eighteen feet at
either pass: but when the active work is
suspended. there is a relapse of shoal
water. and all has 70 be done over again.
We are informed by gentlemen who
have made the mouth Of the river a sub
ject Of careful study for many years. that
the alluvium carried to sea by the current
sets TO the westward when it comes in con-
tact with the sea; hence the greatest
depth is found 60 the eastward, where it
is proposed to connect the river with deep
sea soundings by canal. This canal is
the grea: work which we wish to urge
upon the attention Of Senators Cameron

ton brought before Congress at the next
