sented to the members of tile Cabinet. Daring
the session Mr.. Hale formally declined the Off ce

strained to reconsider his previous deter

Der OF the Appropriations Committee,
severe one, and he did not think it consistent
with bis best interests to accept the arduous
duties OF the office in view of his impaired
health. The President expressed his regret at

er he would reconsider his resignation he said
emphatically: "No, L WAS in earnest when /
resigned, and would be glad to be relieved to =
morrow" He directed First Assistant Post
ments which were presented to him, declining
to settle any questions or decide any matters ex-
cept such as were necessary to keep the depart
ment going.

Hints Ahnut Work.

A sharp eve is of the greatest use this
cold season. Stock needs watching with
care. No falling off in condition should
be permitted. A little extra food now will
do great good, and will doubtless save a
large expenditure two months hence. Be-
sides, it is easier to keep up than to bring
up the condition of an animal.
Cellars need ventilating and an extra
protection against sudden cold snaps.
A plentiful supply of water is quite in
dispensable to the welfare of the farm
stock Ice-cold water is injurious and
wasteful A bucket of such water will de-
stroy the good effect of several good feeds.
The Water-trough should be kept free from
ice, and it should be emptied as soon as
the stock has been watered. Many people
believe that sheep can live without drink
ing, but this is q great mistake. All ami
mails FED upon dry feed need water frequent
". Snow is no substitute for water.
Young stock need especial care, and eX-
posure to damp in mild or thawy weather
is more hurtful than dry through compar-
atively severe cold.
Vermin should be watched for. A week
ly allowance Of sulphur given in some salt
will tend to keep down vermin. Sulphur
rubbed up with lard makes a good appli-
cation against lice if rubbed along the spine
of the animal infested. Whale oil is also
a'good application. Carbolic acid and kero-
sene should be used with caution; they
may do more harm than good If too freely
used.
Farm horses kept in the stable and only
worked occasionally should be fed and
managed with care. A common mistake
is to let them do nothing for several days
and then "put them through" A sharp
trot for mile or two until thesweat starts,
will do no harm, but rather good, provided
they are rubbed dry afterwards. But to
drive them rapidly, eight or ten miles, let
them stand in the cold for an hour or two
and then drive them rapidly home, and
give them little care when they get home,
is thoughtless and cruel.
A warm bran mash is a good thing to
give horse when he is brought home hot
and exhausted from long journey. Blan-
ket him at once, and rub his ears and legs,
and then rub his belly and TANKS, and such
other parts OF the body as can be got at
without wholly removing the blanket. If
your man think this too much trouble, and
willInot do the work willingly, discharge
him. Better part with man than lose
good horse.
;. Cows that are expected to calve in March
or April, should, as a rule, be dried of this
month. New mich cows, or cows that
calved last fall, should be fed literally with
food favorable to the production of milk,
such as roots, bran, corn stalks, clover hay,
and three or four quarts OF corn meal per
day. Warm slops or cooked food Will IN
crease the flow Of milk. Warm and well
ventilated stables are also essential. II the
cows are turned out to water, be careful
not to let them stay out long enough TO get
chilled. Farrow cows that are giving milk
should have an abundant supply Of rich
food They may have as much as four or
five quarts of corn meal q: day. II they
get fat instead OF giving milk, you Can dis

THE POOR HOUSE.
Report of the Commissioner


From Tuesdays proceedings of the
County Court, we make the following ex-
tracts from the report of the Commission
ers:
They report that they had the farm rent
ed last year to Thos. G. Murphy, who was
appointed Superintendent of the Poor also
House.
He made his report to the Commission
ers, from which we make the following
extracts:
There are tweuty-four inmates at pres
cnt, males and Is females. There have
been So inmates in the Asylum during the
year, and an average of 33. He then gives
a lengthy report of the condition of each
inmate, and their names and ages. lie
further reports that there was raised on
the county farm four tons of hay, four
hundred head of cabbage, one hundred
and twenty-five bushels of wheat, three
hundred and fifty bushels of corn, two
hundred dozen of oats, thirty bushels of
turnips, fifty bushels of Irish potatoes,
five bushels of beans and peas, twenty
five bushels of sweet potatoes, and forty
gallons of molasses.
The Commissioners of the Poor further
report that the expense of the institution
amounted to 81 $50, exclusive of what was
raised on the farm, and that the average
cost of each pauper was $5l So, exclusive
of the farm products.
