VOLUME XXIII---NO 80
Protection of Stock in Winter.

IA righteous man Is merciful unto
his beas'," saith the Bible. One Of
the greatest sins of the Southern far
mer is his neglect of his cattle. We
hardly know a farmer in all the South
who provides adequate shelter for his
cattle during winter and the chilling
rains and cutting winds of Spring.
After providing a stable for his horse
les and mules, with perhaps shed for
his milk COWS, the remainder Of the
stock are allowed to shift for. them
selves by seeking such protection as
the lee side Of a barn, crib, or out.
house can afford them. A good far
mer and true patron should take
pride in his stock of every kind, and
they can neither look well nor do
weil.if exposed constantly to severe
weather in any climate. Every ami
NAL should have its own shelter in
this Southern climate-sheeps,t hogs,
cows, calves, oxen and %sout cattle, as
we'll as horses and mules.
1t is often the case that enough
fine animals are lost in a single spring
to pay twice over for the erection Of
tight, good shelters, which would last
thirty yeaas.
This climate is quite as fatalto cattle
as more Northerly climates. IF cattle
tie are fed they. become Injured to the
cold of the North, where the temper
ature is not so variable and changes
not so violent as in the South. The
sudden Northers Of Texas, slaughter
thousands of cattle every year, and
herdsmen and.cattle-raisers are be-
ginning to learn the value of shelters.
Cattle on the prafries, if they can
have their way, strive to get to shell
ters Of timber before the norther
comes on, as their instinct or per-
haps their natural reason forewarns
them: but often times their less saga
cious human masters prevent them
from seeking shelter and they die by
the wholesale.
No good farmer should allow another
winter to come lson without having
ample shelter for all his stock.-lAe

a Chit Of Eighteen.

"a chit of eighteen !" Yes, I heard her,
The wretched old thing, with her
sneer;
And I felt in the mood for murder,
AS she lavish'd her lies on the ear
Of that cynic, Sir Anthony We're.
And thought, though it capital sport is
TO laugh at young girls when first
seen, ,
And though forties may spit aquafortis,
There's revenge for chit of eighteen.
