It is AN old saying that shelter is feed.
While it is true that good shelter will
ave a large amount of food that stock
'ould be compelled otherwise to con-
ume to save life, yet it viii not do to
urnish only shelter, they must have
God besides. But if we wish to save
one half or one-third of the food that
would be required TO feed them in a GER
tain condition, we can do 50 by provid-
ing shelter. That is to say, an animal
exposed to the cold, storms, winds, and
weather. and compelled to sleep on the
cold, frozen or wet ground, will require
at least one third more food to keep il
in good condition, than it would require
to keep it in the same condition if in
warm, dry shed or stable, " here no such
exposure was experienced. As our
crops have been cut short by the drouth
this year, and it is necessary to save all
we can, the advisability of making
shelter of some kind, must be apparent
to all.
Every farmer has the material at hand
to make cheap shelter. If he has not
the boards or plank he can 90 to the
woods and cut posts and poles and make
covering of straw or cheap hay. He
can put up mind breaks about his ward
or sheds, and make comfortable omar
ters for his stock He can thus save
food, and save the Cravings of con-
science, for conscience must reprove the
owner when his stock stands shiverine
IN the fence corners exposed to the pitt
less storms. The COWS refuse 10 give
milk, the cattle and horses lose their
fiesh and spirit, their bones daily be-
come more visible, and if the graveyard
is not a recipient of their carcasses IL ia
a wonder. From such farming as this
deliver us. It is unehristian. inhuman.
No one has a moral right to keep more
stock than he can keep comfortably.
But on the point of economy it will paw
TO make shelter. The food that will be
thus saved viii more than pay for maxi
ing the shelter, letting alone the hu.
manitarian question entirely. Corn
stalks can be used as a covering.
1t is not profitable to keep stock un-
less it is kept thriving. It is the worst
economy that a man can use to let stock
lose IN winter all they have gained in
summer. They not only bring no re-
turn for the feed in winter, if allowed to
get poor, but lose that and all they have
gained in summer besides. If stocks
are always kept thriving, in winter or
summer, they are daily becoming more
valuable, and what is fed to them value
Is received for. There is a gain instead
OF a loss. Every day they lose in flesh
the farmer loses. Every day they gain
re farmers pocket gains.-RasraI

A Vegetable Curiosity.

There grows in the low, sandy savan-
mas of North Carolina, near Whining
ton, the dtonea musipuloa, or Venus
hy-trap. 1t is of the vegetable king
dom, and feeds on flies, insects or
small animals. IL is a native of that
locality alone, and is one of the great
est curiosities of the age. It is said
this plant can beat the alligator in the
performance of catching flies. It is
earniverous vegetable, and will not
flourish unless nurtured by meat diet.
The manner in which this phenomenon
OF nature captures its prey is thus de-
scribed; Each leaf is tipped with an
aPpendage shaped like the open covers
of a book, with the corners rounded.
and the edges fringed with stiff bristles,
This proves a deadly trap to every in
sect that alights on it, for instantly on
feeling the irritation it shuts together
as If by spring along the midrid, and,
Interlacing the bristles, holds the luck
less victim tight until his struggles and
life cease together. But this trick of
fly catching is not practiced merely for
wantonness. The strangest part of all
the proceedings is, as soon as the insect
is enclosed in this living prison, for nu-
merous minute glands immersed in the
texture of the walls, the saliva-like
liquid, q sort of gastric juice, is given
out that moistens and dissolves all its
ANk A..
the system Of the plant by absorption.
When the nutritive portions of the in
sect have thus been consumed, the trap
slowly uncloses, and is ready for an
other insect The process is repeated
with rapidity but once or twice, for, as
in al, cases where plants have the ca
pacity of motion. the sinews of the leaf
grow stiff with age, it loses its sensibil-
tiles, and gradually decays.

Half Alive


It is a sad thing to pass through life only half
alive. Yet there are thousands whose habitual
condition is one of languOr and debility. They
complain of no specific disease; they suffer no pos
tive pain, but they have no relish for anything
which affords mental or sensuous pleasure to their
more robust and energetic fellow beings.
In nine cases out of ten this state of lasstgde and
torpor arises from morbid stomach Indigestion
destroys the energy of both mind and body. When
the waste of nature is not supplid by due and
regular assimilation Of the food, every organ Is
starved, every function interrupted.
Now, what does ommon sense suggest under
these circumstances OF depression The system
needs Touslng and Strengi hening not merely for

wig No. being trifie longer, and so

mark that he must really have his hair
