You can save feed and trouble by gst-
ting rid of your poorest stock now. This
is particularly true Of sheep. Get rid Of
the miserable, scrawny ones that you
know will not winter over, or if they do
will be worth nothing when spring opens.
Better knock them in the head and sell
the pelts than to feed them all tho winter
for nothing. It pays to keep good stock
but poor stock never.
In putting away winter apples, give
them the coolest part Of the cellar.
Every cellar ought to have partition in
it, cutting off space large enough to
store apples, and then keep this room at
a much lower temperature than that for
vegetables. Instead of stuffing straw in
the cellar windows or banking dirt over
them, put in an extra sash outside of the
one that is in, giving four to. six inches
space between them. If the outer sash
is fitted close with weather strips, there
is no danger Of freezing. and your cellar
is light enough TO 60 into without can
die or lantern. A cellar perfectly dark
is nuisance.
A correspondent says that, apples will
not dry up COWS if fed in small quantities
at first neither will apple pomace, nor
pumpkins, nor anything else. TIE great
trouble lies in feeding too much to begin
with: Any change in the feeding Of ami
mails should be gradual, don't caro- what
the change may be. We have found this
rule true in various cases; and have no
doubt that the notion Of feeding pump.
kins dries up cows had its origin to feeding
too largely on the start.
A good lubricater for wooden axles is
made of six parts Of clean tallow and
two parts Of fine smooth plumbago. An.
other is made Of five parts of tallow, five
parts Of soapstone, one part plumbago,
and nine parts rosin oil; the talIow and
oil are heated and mixed, after which the
soapstonc and plumbago are added.

Oliver Crosnwellss Head.

A correspondent of the London Times
gives the following curious account Of the
varying fortunes Of the head of Lord Pro-
tector CROMWELL: Several imperfect
statements having lately appeared on the
above subject, let me explain what became
Of the remains of Cromwell. Partly from
printed records and partly from what
heard from Mr.. Wilkinson, to
whom some of the press have
alluded, Oliver Cromwell died 1T White.

1858, after = protracted illness. He had
long been suffering from ague, and his
case is cited in medical books as one Of q
man who died Of ague while our ware
houses were groaning with Peruvian bark,
which We did not know how to use.
During this illness he became so dis
tressed and debilitated that he would
allow no barber to come near him and
his beard, instead of being cut to certain
fashion, grew all over his face. After
bis death, the body lay. in state

Afterwards buried With moro than regal
honors in Henry VII s chapel in West
Minister Abbey, where it lay until, after
the Restoration, it was taken out of his
grave, IS were also the bodies of Ireton
(Cromwell's son-in.law) and Bradshaw;
the latter, as President Of the High
Court Of Justice, having pronounced sen.
tenoe Of death on Charles /. The three
bodies were taken ineearts tp the Red

.HOuseh0ld Hints.

It is 4 good rule that little children,
until their seventh year, should always
be allowed to sleep out, and not be dis.
turbed until they awake Of themselves
naturally. 1t wrong and injurious
practice, though exceedingly common, for
relatives to disturb the sleep of little ba.
bies with illjudged caressing and untime-
ly kissing. It should be impressed upon
the minds Of mothers and nurses, and
evermore insisted, that the sleep Of chill
dren should be = natural one, not only
never to be intsmperately disturbed, but
likewise never to be artifcially hastened
or prolonged. The foolish and wicked
custom of administering opiates to little
infants cannot be too severely condemned.
Even the usual arts for inducing slumber
by frequent practice among nurses, which
are born Of their impatience, the prac.
tices Of rocking, stroking the head and
the rest. should all bo strongly discouu-
tenanced.
