Keep the Cows Warm.

What sight is more pheasant than row
of sleek, well cared for healthy animals in
winter. Outside the thermometer stands
close upon zero and the temperature is so
comfortable that we can we'll dispense with
our overcoat, From whence comes this
genial warmth ? No coal or wood is con-
sumed to raise the temperature. The
problem is easily solved. Here are fifteen
stoves, not constructed of iron or stone but
of flesh and blood, and in these stoves hay
and grain are burned constantly, and hence
the heat. 1t is the warmth radiated from
the animals that we feel, and this comes
from actual combustion, produced by the
play of vital or chemical forces within the
organisms.
A large percentage of the food supplied
adds to our store of milk or flesh, but is
burned to produce animal heat, or in
winter the supply Of food must be increas-
ed, to compensate for the loss by direct
radiation from the surface and through the
respiratory organs
No greater mistake can be made than
to house your animals in cold and open
barns. A shivering COW gives no milk, nor
flesh. To feed COW, or any other animal
in the cold, open air is about as foolish aud
wasteful as to place stove out of doors,
fill it with fuel, and to expect to receive
benefit by warming the atmosphere gen.
orally. Animals need protection and
warmth as well as human beings.

An Inch Yenr.

A Minnesota farmer gives, in the st.
Paul Pioneer, his experience of blowing a
field for wheat one inch deeper every year.
The first year he plowed the land over four
inches deep harvested II bushels to the
acre. The next season he plowed one inch
deeper and took off twenty bushels per
acre. Continuing to plough one inch deep
er next year, he harvested thirty-one and
a half bushels. He says, in conclusion ::
"Last fall did not go down for the extra
inch, feared if kept on until got 15 or 20
inches, the straw would grow 1s or 20 feet
high, and that won't stand the storms of
Minnesota but if wo want long straw and
heavy wheat, We must plow deep. One
inch deeper every year is plenty, until the
proper depth is reached, and if this rule is
followed strictly, our farms will be in good
condition many years hence"

POSTPONEWENT.
Fourth Gift Concert
of Public Library of Kentucky
A Gard to the Public.

The Trustees of the Public Library of Ken
lucky and the management of the Gift Con-
cert announce the postpOnement of the
Fourth Gift Concert until Tuesday, the 5lst
of March next.
The public will readily understand the
causes which have made this postponement
necessary.
The financial panic, which has for the
last two months paralyzed the business of
every section of this country and of Europe,
has prevented thousands from investing in
tickets. The epidemics pervading almost
the entire South have cut off large and
available market. And, too, the public
Judging from the efforts of these causes have
expected postponement and have declin-
ed to invest without a more positive assur.
ance of the drawing taking place on fixed
day.
All interested desire a full drawing, but
for the reason just stated this could not be
had on the Sd of December, but the short
pOstponement now announced will secure
it.
The management hss met with unprece-
denied success, The sales of tickets, the
proceeds of which have already been receiv-
ed, amount to over MILLION DOLLARS,
with a number of agencies in this country
yet to hear from, and all others in Europe.
Thus II drawing Sealing the gifts one
half could be had now, but the manage
ment deem it best to have a postponement
and a full drGtcing.
This postponement assures the sale Of all the
tickets and A FULL DRAWING. That this
determination will meet with the apprOba-
ton of nearly every one Interested is made
apparent by the very numerous letters re-
ceived from every section of this country
and the Canadas asking for a postpone
ment.
This action of the management VIII work
no detrimcnt &c any but will be for the good
Of all. By it the fortunate ticlet-holder
will receive their gifts IN f,U while it will
not effect those who do not draw gifts.
In making this announcement the man
agement eH,phaticd{ty state that there shat be no
further postponea,cat, and to this end all agents
VIII be imperatively required to close Il p
and transmit their accounts TO this office by
the 2lst of March.

CoEGREss is now perplcxed with ques-
zion which gave birth to the great Grange
movement. Mr. MCCBARY, has reported
bill, which proposes to somewhat regu-
late interstate commerce. 1t provides
that persons engaged in railroad com
merce shall not make unreasonable or eX-
eortionate charges, and that they shall not
make unjust discrimination in the matter
Of charges 1t is argued that the charges
6xed by great railroad corporations, are
not fixed by competition, but by combina-
tion, as competition is impossible where
ever combination is possible. The only
competition is between land transpOrta-
non and water transportation. There are
but two alternatives, either the regulation
OF railroad commerce among the States
by means Of national legislation, or else
by letting them remain permanently with
out any regulation at all The States
cannot regulate them. Attempts to do sc
by the State will be held void, as the stat
nte of Pennsylvania has been held void
It is a question of great magnitude, as il
involves the rights of States, but as the
rights of Southern States have been SCI
aside whenever it suited the purposes OIL
the Radical leaders, it may not disturb
their conscience7 now; but they Elay thinl
1t prudent not not to interfere with tn,
rights of Northern States.

THE Convention which met here Mon
day made one mistake, 1t was we'll
enough to make provisions for conven-
ton TO nominate candidates for the coun.
ty offices, as the election comes off in
August; but it is entirely too soon to put
candidates in nomination for the Legisla.
ture. The election for Governor, Congress
men and State Legislators does not occur
until November. We have no doubt thai
other gentlemen will be willing to dc
service for the State and that they will in

meets in May, nominate for the county
offices, and appoint the first Monday il

The RartIett Platform.

The platform adopted by the Conserva-
tives of Shelby County has excited so
much comment, that we lay it before our
readers:
Whereas, this meeting has been called
by anti Radical citizens of Shelby county
to secure the united Cooperation of the
Liberal, Conservative and Democratic
voters thereof who desire rigid economy
and honesty in the administration of
county and State affairs, the speedy re-
duction of OnerouS taxes, and the election
of competent and efficient officers, regard
less of nationality or previous political
affiliations; for the purpose of setting on
on foot such movement as will secure
harmony of action in the conduct of a
liberal, progressive policy in the APP
preaching elections; and fully recognizing
that the Democratic party is the only or
ganization now in existence in Shelby
county confronting the Radical party, and
that under its organization, characterized
by spirit tempered with liberality and
conservatism, these objects and purpose s
can best be accomplished, and success
achieved in the approaching election, we
adopt and promulgate for our future
government the following platform of
principles. Therefore, be it resolved,
First-That it is the duty of all good
citizens to make united effort to secure
the most competent and reliable men for
office, that the laws may be executed
impartially and the burdens of taxation
be distributed equally among all classes.
SccOnd-That honesty and economy in
our local government, reduction of taxes
| and expenses, prompt and right settle
ments with public officers, exposure OF
corruption, and the punishment of delin-
quents without fear or favor must be en-
forced
Third-That taxation should be equal
and uniform, and no one species OF prop,
erty be taxed higher than another.
Fourth-That we recognize the equali-
| ty, befOre'the law, OF all citizens, and that
in the selection Of candidates for office,
| capacity and honesty shall be the test OF
merit without regard to nationality or
| former political predictions.
Fillh-That all efforts to array our
race or class against another is odious to
the genius of the American government,
destructive of public peace aud prosperity
and subversive of Republican institu-
| tons
| SiNth-That the agricultural and me
| cha meal interests OF our country are the
foundation of its prosperity, and that
wisdom and justice demand that these
interests shall be protected against the
eXactions of mOnOpolies, and should bt
tostered by judicious legislation.

The Banner says: Our exchanges from

ligious enthusiasm. Meetings are crowd
ed with interested and sympathizing audi
tors The week of prayer, which was
generally observed in all the churches the
first week of the present year has, in
very maug cases, resulted in revivals,
which has continued with growing power
from the first weeks of the year till now.
In the Baptist and Methodist churches of
the country revivals have been the rule
rather than the exception, while Presby-
tcrian churches are the next largest shar-
ers in the good results ofthese awakenings.
