tho FARMERS
Cattle in Winter.

As the years run, farm work Will
not press this month, and yet, if the
weather should chance to be mild
aud open, there will be no need ot
any loss of time for want Of some
thing to do. The chores about the
barn, in the woodshtd and the tool.
house will occupy a large share of
attention. and they cannot be neglect
ed. The 1.-Two stock of every kind is

will liso or fall in proportion to tue
care which they receive. Some folks
think, or seem to think, that if they
give cattle enough to Eat in cod
| weather, it is all the! can do. But
| ns man does not live by bread alone,
the cattle that minister TO his CON-
fort and supply hi, wants, do not
thrive by hay alone. Hay may keep
them alive, but to secure thrift we
must study their comfort in eveIy
way, and thi, requires us to look out
for cleanliness, good air, good water
and enough Of it, without exposing
time to the extreme cold Of stormy
weather. We think the card and the
curry comb ought to have exercise
every day, and they agree with a

change Of variety of food, alsr,
seems to be. desirable, though thele
may he some difference of opinion on
this point. We prefer to have few
roots to feed, or pumpkins, and il
we hadn't these We should want tt
give a small allowance Of meal OF
shorts IN addition to the regular "a
tions Of hay.
The old style Of winterlng cattle
in very many, if not most Of on
country towns, WAS rot calculated t
bring cattle out very we'll in TIT
spring. They went into the winte

and often not a very liberal supply q

Consomme-Rich broth, clarified,
becomes consomme. 1t is the best
and most nutritious food that can be
given to old people, because it is
easily digested, and does not require
any mastication: it ia, in fact, to old
people what milk is to the infant
Consomme is best in a liquid state
having the same nutritive properties
After having strained the broth, put
it back in the kettle with (for two
quarts of broth) two onions and two
carrots in slices, two raw eggs, few
ounces of chopped, lean beef; bea
tho whole we'll together, set on thu
fire, aud boil gently until clear. Th'
process will take about half al hour
then strain, and it ia ready. If it i
wanted very nutritious, use NOR
chopped meat.

The Wounded Heron.

A sportsman of Portsmouth, N. H.,
was recently rowing down through the
narrows in a small boat, one evening
about two weeks ago, when his atten-
ton was attracted to a pair of night
herons which were standing upon a
large rock near the waters edge. The
discharge of a gun by a man concealed
among the bushes on the rivers bank
was heard, and the birds took to their
wings, uttering cries of distress as they
few. When nearly an eighth of a mile
of, one of them was see to falter, and
it soon fell into the river. AS soon as
the boat drew near, the gentleman per-
ceived that the bird wa wounded, and
was swimming confidently toward him
as though claiming protection and help.
He extended n of his oars, and the
bird seized it with his sharp claws and
suffered himself to be lifted out of the
water. Upon examination the gentle
man found that the birds right wing
was broken and that fractured bones
were p%rotruding. A linen handkerchief
furnished bandages for the bleeding
wing, until upon arriving at New Cas-
tie, the wound was properly dressed by
a surgeon, who admired the fortltude
of his feathered patient during the pain
full operation. Portions of the bone had
to be removed, but the doctor thought
it possible for the bird to live with
careful nursing. Our friend brought
the bird to this city and under careful
treatment 1t soon regained its wonted
health and strength, and was pronoun-
ced a "perfect beauty" by many ladies'
who called to see him. The wound
healed rapidly and the heron was al
lowed to 90 In quest OF his mate as o o
as he could fly.

A Test for AduIterated Butter.

The city chemist Of Cleveland, DR..
Classen, in a recent report on butter
adulterated by mixture with lard gives
a simple method Of testing for this
fraud. The suspected butter is melted,
and about fifty grains of it poured into
a test tube. When this is cooled to the
temperature of a human hand. there is
to be added, mixing slowly by agita-
ton, 100 grains pure sulphuric acid. If
the butter is pure the mixture will at
once become yellow, and afterwards a
bright yellowish red. If lard is pres
ent the mixture will pass from the col
or last named to brownish black. Tur-
merle or annatto is frequently used to
color adulterated butter. TO detect
either of these dyes the butter should
be melted and shaken with twice the
quantity of alcohol. The butter hav-
ing subsidized, the dye, If any is present,
Will appear above I'M solution, In tile
alcohol, and tint 1t yellow, but from
pure butter nc color will be extracted

Humors of the Ostrich,

Like every other created thing the
ostrich appears to have somewhere or
other in his minute brain a latent sense
of humor. At least 1t Is very difficult
otherwise to account for the habit of
dancing attributed to him by obserV ers,
on grounds which, according to Mr..
HELLER, Of Graham's Town, are amply
sufficient. This gentleman thus de-
scribes a scene he witnessed in an
ostrich enclosure belonging to Mr..
Douglas, of Hilton, a farm about twelve
miles from Grahan's Town. "Out of
the enclosure given up to the exclusive
use of this polygamous family of three,
we entered through a locked gate into
a large enclosure or paddock, in which
were tifty-eight and two year OLD
birds. They all looked exceedingly
well, and though they did not dance
they seemed iull of life. They do some
times favor the spectators with a dance,
and 1t is II of the funniest of all the
freaks or habits of animals that evidence
a sense OF the jokeful were ever beheld.
We once saw some twenty nearly full
grown birds waltzing together. They
began with a sort of siding, slow revolu.
ton on their toes, moving their wings
gently up and down, and presently
they seemed to get into the spirit of the
thing without the aid OF any fiddler
that we saw, and spun round at a rate
that would have astonished any one
but a dancing dervish. In dancing
they swept round aud round without
ever coming Into contact with each
other"

"Two!" replied young smartness,
