TINS view OF the case. il would seem that

of raising hay or grain; especially in Sec
tons where the soil is well adapted to
pasturage. or where pure water and plenty
of grass are found. But as a general rule.
the man who keeps large numbers Of
cows for the purpose of the profit TO be
made out of their milk during the summer
season. rarely raises a sufficient amount OF
hay DC, TO carry them through the winter.
and as soon as the cheese making season
ends, i obliged to dispose of a part of his
COWS at reduced rate, especially those
that are farrow-and purchase again in
the spring at high prices. These cows are
bought up at low iigHres by the farmers
who have plenty of hay and other feed for
them; and the purchaser expects. and
often does make profit in various ways
such as making manures for the farm. the
increase in the value of the cows, in the
sale of the calves, and the high prices they
get, when sold to the cheese factory men
in spring. So we see that the dairy farmer
suffers some losses, and that his seeming
gains are not all real. We sat down to
write something about the winter treat
ment of mich cows, but feel obliged to
write this way by way of introduction.
And it is to those farmers that winter
cows We would say, give them especial
care during the fall and winter, if you ex-
pect them to pay you; commence to feed
and to house early, do not allow them TO

1t is often desirable to prevent the
sprouting OF potatoes in the cellar in the
spring and early summer. This can be
done by exposing the potatoes to the fumes
OF burning sulphur. The flavor OF the
potato is not injured in the least by this
procedure. nor is its vitality diminished

milk. The milk of cows which do not
have access to pure running water. should
be refused at the factory.

The HENRY +. MILLER PIANO-FORrRs.-
The instruments from this establishment
are rapidly coming into public notice
and favor, and already occupy foremost
position among frst.class pianos.
Mr.. Miller is himself practical mechan-
ic, and u thorough musician, and the su-
periority which these pianos have over 9TH
ers, is owing in large measure TO the
careful supervision which each instru-
ment receives from the manufacturer be-
fore it is allowed to leave his establish
ment. The award of the contract to tur-
nish the public schools of Boston with
pianos must be very gratifying 10 Mr..
Miller. and is a testimony Of the musical
public to the high position which these
instruments occupy. The serere test that
they have received at the New England
Conservatory of Music. and at many 9TH
er public institutions where they are in
constant daily use, Is = guarantee OF their
many excellent qualities, and especially Of
their durability. They are used and rec
commended by uOst Of the leading must
hns Of Boston.

WASHINGTON, January 20.-The
Presidents special message to-day re-
peating the recommendation in his an
nual message relative to the armament
of Notifications, and in time of peace to
prepare for war, naturally raised the
question among members whether there
was any probability of war with foreign
powers, and whether the President had
any knowledge leading him to such sp-
prehensiOn. Some members could see
no grounds for fear, while others thought
some serious difficulty might arise be-
tween the United States and Spain, and
it was, therefore, proper that our ports
on the gulf should be prepared against
a sudden assault by Spanish vessels
in the event of hostilities growing out
of the Cuban question.
