WINTER CARE OF STOCK.


There is a great diversity of opinion
in regard to the proper way of winter
ing cattle. Of course We all aim to get
the greatest amount of flesh from a
given amount of food, and to do this
properly we must understand and we
governed by physiological laws. Every
one who was taken the pains to inform
himself in the matter, knows that diges-
ton only takes place perfectly. in a
Illuminating animal, when the stomach
is full hence we should feed when we
do feed, with the object to induce this
perfect digestion; for it is the same
with our horned dependents that it is
with ourselves it is not the amount we
cat, but the amount we digest that
makes us fat. If we feed our stock as
soon as it is light in the morning, and
feed all they want, or all they will eat
up clean. digestion will not have taken
place properly before four o'clock in the
afternoon. dc not say they will eat
no more before that time, for they will
a dozen times day if you give it to
them, but it does them no good. L
know of men who make a practice of
feeding their cattle whenever they hap
pen to be in the barn, because they
think they are hungry. and they may
be sure they always will be hungry when
fed in that way and SO will man when
he lunches between meals. Some will
say, "What, only feed twice day, when
they eat all the time in summer" When
they are running to grass, of course
they are longer about it, because it is
slow picking, but they pick till full
just the same, and then lie down. Of
course it does not take so long to digest
green succulent food as it does dry hay,
and they are sooner ready for the next
meal.
Let US 90 back to a horned animal,
before he has horns-the calf, aud do
nine men out of ten feed their calves
more than twice day? A young ami
NAL, of whatever species, wants to eat
oftener than grown one. certainly
now what is the sense in feeding cali
twice, and a grown animal three or four
times day?
Some men feed their cattle from three
to six times day because they think
they are hungry, and they may be sure
they are. and they may also be sur,
they will be until they educate thei
stomachs Alright The stable door can
not be opened, but what they are al
on their feet. Not so where two meals
per day is the rule any amount of rat
thing around and working in the stabl
will not drive them up; such, at least
is my experience. Care should be takel
not to overfeed. for it is nearly as bad a
starving, and in my estimation is on
great cause, if not the sole cause, of tn
NANCY scurf on cattle in the late winte
and spring.
Let any one at all skeptical in tn
matter of digestion examine the manur
. behind stable full of cattle fed thre
4 or four times and another fed twice
and tell me if he sees no difference
l Does he not find straws from one hal
to an inch and half long in the form

HOMEMADE FLOWER POTs Save the
tin fruit cans, and convert them into
tasteful flower pots in the following
manner With can opener cut off any
rough or projecting portions of the COW
er, leaving narrow rim to project in
ward. With pair of pliers, or small
hammer, bend this rim down. This
gives 6rmness to the top of the can.
Punch three or four small holes through
the bottom of the can. Then paint it
with varnish made of gum shellac dis
solved in alcohol, and colored with
lampblack and yellow ochre to give a
dark brown color. The cans may be
Ornamented by FASTING on them little
medallion figures or pictures. They
are handsomer than the ordinary flower
pots, require less watering, and keep
the plants free from all insects, owing
to the presence of iron rust in the can.
One Of the prettiest arrangements for
plants we have seen, was window with
two narrow shelves placed one above
the other, on which were these home
made flower pots. containing heliotropes,
geraniums. pinks, begonias, petunias,
fuchsias, and other plants, all as thrifty
as if grown in greenhouse. They
should be showered once fortnight with
lukewarm water, using a whick broom
for the purpose. and watered sparingly
every second day. On very cold night:
newspapers may be placed between the
plants to protect them from frost

A TINE TO DIE.

Dear reader, there are many reasons
to justify your anxious inquiry about
your future well being. The wonder is.
not that you are now so anxious but
that you have lived so long without
being SO yea, the wonder is that all
men do not feel the same concern about
their everlasting future that you now
feel. You do we'll to be anxious, for
remember you are mortal You are des-

mortal mould, are destined to pass away
from the stage of life into the world un-

And the prophets. do they live forever 2"
You are marked victims of the King of
Terrors. You are appointed to die.
The fact of your death. the time of your
death, the manner of your death, the
place of your death, are all as much
appointed as the fact, the time, the
place of your birth. and the bounds of
your present habitation. The place
that now knows you will know you no
more forever. Your name will but live
in memory; you yourself will have pass

world beyond death is reasonable. 1t is
the highest wisdom, land the more SO when
you remember that death which is GER

certain as to the time of it. You must
die. some time. You may die at any
time. You may die soon. You may
