Shelter Saves Foods Profitable.

Every keeper of animals would actually profit
by a little study of chemistry and physiology.
Here is a short lesson: All kinds of food. as hay,
grain. bread, meat, etc, are, like wood, mainly
composed of charcoal (carbOn) and water, with
considerable nitrogen in some of them. To
prove this, strongly heat any of the above named
food materials in a coal pit, or better, under
glass Water, with some nitrogen gas, will be
driven off and can be found in the glass receiver,
while only charcoal will remain. Let in more
air, and the charcoal itself will mite with the
oxygen of the atmosphere, and also 90 of n
transparent, invisible carbonic acid gas. This
chemical action sets at liberty heat that was be-
fore concealed or insensible, the same as when
wood or coal is burned rapidly in 4 stove, produ-
cling an active fire: as when wood decays, but
gives oil heat so slow as not TO be observed. We
must have an even bnrning fire in both the ami
NAL and human system. If the surrounding at
mospheTe is cold, and carries off the heat rapid
ly from the surface of he body, We must increase
the internal production of heat by putting in
more food, or by surrounding the body with a
covering that prevents the escape of much heat.
Is il not plain, then, that by keeping animals
warm, by means of close buildings, shelter
against heat stealing Winds less food will be
needed, and there will be less waste of flesh in
making heati Any arrangement Of shelter, CO.
yer, stable, shed, blankets-auything that will
prevent the natural warmth from passing away
from the surface of any animal-wll be a great
saving of food required to keep mp the absolute
ly necessary internal warmth; will prevent loss
Of flesh; will allow the food to 90 more to adj
ding to weight of flesh, or the yield of milk, or
of wool. Shelter and external warmth in cold
weather are most economical and therefore prof.
table in the keeping Of farm stock.-4mericdH

When il comes to prevention, greatd may
be done during the winter season in burning the
alternating bugs, remarked elsewhere: can
not lay too much stress on the importance of win
ter work in burning cortstalks, old boards, and
all kinds of grass weeds rubbish, and litter
around grain fields, and even the leaves in the
adjacent woods, in and under all of which the
little pest hibernates- Next TO drowning out
the rascals cremation is undoubtedly the most
effectual mode of destruction. Next. let the
spring wheat he sown as early as possible, and
the ground rolled. The rolling will apply equal
ly well to the culture of winter wheat, though
| wonld not advise the early fall planting of the
last in sections where it is likely to suffer from
Hessian fly, for reasons not pertinent in this
nectiOn. Sow thickly. as the more the ground
is shaded the less the chinch bugs like it. If in
late winter the bugs are known TO he numerous
50 as to bode future injury-and the fact can be
easily ascertained 10y the ill-savored odor they
send up from corn shocks, and by their general
presence in the wintering places mentioned-it
will be well to plant no spring wheat or barley.
In short, just in proportion as We adopt an intel
ligent and clearly system Of culture, just in that
proportion will the chinch bugs become harm
less; il is, in great part and in its more serious
aspects, result of slOvenly husbandry, and
will luse its threatening character in the more
Western States, rs it has in those east of us, Just

Fross-Posts-stone Walls.

On dry soils. fence posts and stone walls are
LITTLE disturbed in winter. 4 soil freed from All
water that will drain out of il, expands but little
and room for this expansion is supplied by the
ibtsrstices between the PARTICLES Bnt If the
soil is saturated with water, this expands abont
an eighth of its bulk. If wet soil around fence
most freezes inches deep, it willexpand upward
i inch lifting the post that much up from the
unfrozen soil below, and it will seldom settle
back when the top ground thaws out Freezing
Is inches deep, will raise the post : inches Ev-
,.ry successive freezing and thawing continues
lifting the fence until the fence says or falls over
lin a similar way. alternate freezing and thaw-
ing breaks and tears the roots of growing plants
Two or three light freezings are worse than one
,lerp one mantle of snow saves this winter
killing by preventing freezings and tearings-
Winter crOps-as wheat, grass, etc.-will endure
the seyerest cold, if it he only steady freeze,
and the injury is far less naturally dry, or on
drained soils).
Stone walls are thrown out Of order, not by
the uniform freezing Of the whole soil under
them but by the unequal freezing and expansion
of different parts of the soil around and under
them and the quicker thawing and settling Of
those portions most exposed to warmth of the
sun. A ditch, or deep fnrrow, along one or
both sides of a wall, 10 drain of the saturating
water, will prevent sufficient expansion and con-
traction of the dry soil TO disturb il. like re-
suit may be obtained by draining the soil in
which fence posts stand. Where this is imprac-
ticable the only remedy is to drive the posts
down each spring as mneh as they have been
drawn up. On this account sharpened, or taper
ing, rounded bottom posts are much prefera-
BILE to those cut square off on the lower ends, As
these partly scrape of the soil, filling the space
below when driven down after lifting.-1meri-

Notes on Live Stock in Winter.

The farm animals ut this season are directly
dependent upon the care and attention of the
farmer. To pass the winter with profit they
must be well kept. Animals are very complica-
ted engines, and must be run by careful engi-
neers. The food they receive is the fuel, and
the daily rubbing, cleaning, etc, may be likened
To the inspection, cleaning and oiling of the en-
CINE The fuel must he equal TO the demands
made of the animal engine, else the machinery
will be run at a disadvantage, and therefore
with diminished profit. When the water is low
and the fire is almost out, the engine is a source
of loss to the owner. On the other hand the fire
may be brisk, and the boiler well supplied, but
some screw is loose, or part rubs another.too
closely, and the friction thus produced neutral
iZes much of the force. So in the animal ma
chine, all the parts must work haTmOniously to-
gether, or in other words there must he perfect
health to obtain the best results. An animal
may have the best Of food in sufficient quantity
and still pass hard winter, and without profit
to IFS owner. Food of the best kinds without
shelter, is in the animal economy like fuel in an
engine that is rusty and loose and ont of order
Both are expensive methods of arriving at desir-
ell results. Ii takes too much force TO run the
machine in both eases. As it is cheaper to have
4 good engine kept in good order, it is TO have
an animal in health and comfort. The thought
fnl farmer will see many other points Of likeness
between the animal machine aud the one con-
structed by human hands, hut this is enough to
suggest the importance of keeping farm animals
in a healthful and comfortable condition. by
means of warm stables with clean floors and
pure air.-imeTicdR AqricHlfHTist

Let the Frost HELM You.

Few fully appreciate how much freezing Of
the ground does to set at liberty the plant-food
locked mp in all soils. Water, in freezing. ex-
pauds about one-eighth of its bulk. and with tire
mendous force. Water. if confined in the strong.
est rock and frozen, will hnrSt IL asunder. The
smallest particles of soil, which are in fact on
ly minute bits of rsck, rs the mic roscope will
show, If frozen while moist brok Ell still finer.
This will 70 on all winter in every part of the
field or garden reached BIZ the frost; and rs most
soils contain more less elements that all
growing plants or crops need, a good freezing is
equivalent to adding manures or fertilizers.
Hence it is desirable to expose as much of the
soil As possible 10 frost action, and the deeper
the better for the lower soil has been less dra
upon. and is richer in plant food. Turn up the
soil this month wherever practicable. II thrown
into ridges and hollows, in field and garden, the
frost will penetrate more deeply. Further, plow-
ing or spadng the soil now exposes insects and
weed roots to killing by freezing. Still further,
soils thrown up loosely, will dry out earlier in
spring and admit earlier working, which is often
a great gain when dry day two may decide
in favor of a successful crop.-InerioaR IgricHi-

Burns and scalds-1mportan. Remedy.

Four years since (Sep, ~ the .imericdn Agri-
caltwist recommended the use of Bicarbonate OF
Soda, that is the common cooking soda, for most
kinds of burns. Since then frequent experiments
and observations, the opinions of physicians, and
the best Medical Journals, have more than con-
frmed all then said. As burns and scalds
always liable to occur, and as this remedy,
though simple, has proved to be extraordinarily
useful, it should be fixed in the mind of every
one. The soda, and the carbonic acid so readily
set at liberty from it, have anRsthetie, antisep-
tic. and disinfecting properties-all highly bene-
fetal for bnrns.
For slight burns cover all the injured parts
with layer of powdered soda. For deeper burns
but where the skin is not broken, dip linen rags
in solution made by dissolying about one-thIrd
of an ounce of the soda in pint of water; lay
the rags on and keep them moist with the soln-
ton. For very severe burns, followed by suppu-
ration formation Of pus,) apply the rags in the
same way, keeping them moist; but frequently
exchange them when dry for fresh ones, and
carefully wash off, with the soda solution, any
matter that has accumulated underneath, so
that il may not be absorbed into and poison the
blood. Leading European medical journals give
numerous instances in in which, by the above
treatment, extensive burns of very severe char
acter have healed speedily, leaving little scar.

Bee Notes for December-Results of the
Past Season

1t is generally known that losses in bees last
winter and spring were very heavy. l think
| that fully two-thirds of the bees kept in the
country were lost. From this fact it reasona-
bly, supposed that the supply Of surplus honey
would be limited. While this is true in many
States, l find that in New York we have secured
by far the largest yield per swarm, that the State
has ever produced. In fact, believe that such
an average per stock of surplus honey has
never been known. i have recently spent
two weeks in studying the New York City
market, and the observations there made, lead
to the above conclusion. met many of the best
bee keepers of our State and saw the product of
many more apiaries. A point worthy of notice
is the excellent quality of the general crop.

Remedy for Scarlet Fever.

The San Francisco Chronicle says that Robert
Christie, of the Protero, suggests a remedy for
scarlet fever which he AYERS has invariably
proved successful. 1t is very simple, and lies
within the reach of those whose limited means
preclude them from employing the services of a
physician, when physician is out of reach.
IL is this: Take All onion and cut il in halves I;
cut out portion of the centre, and into the cav
ity put spoonful of saffron; put the pieces to-
gether. then wrap in a cloth and bake in an oven
until the onion is cooked 50 that the Juice
will run freely, then squeeze ont all the juice
and give the patient teaspOonful, at the same
time rubbing the chest and throat with goose
grease or rancid bacon, il there is any cough or
soreness in the throat. In short time the fever
will break out in an eruption all over the body.
All that is then necessary is to keep the patient
warm and protected from draught, and recovery
is certain. Mr.. Christie says he has been EN-
ploying this remedy for many years, and never
knew it to fail when proper care was taken of
the patient after its application. One family, in
which there were five children down with the
disease at one time, recently, used this simple
remedy upon his telling them of it, and every
Of the little ones recovered in short time
1t is also good in colds qunsy, etc. Cut this out,
and paste il in your scrap book.

A GRAY DAY.
By rmIIr BouEkE xAEsrox.


Forth from q sky Of MINDLESS gray,
POurs down the soft, persistent rain.
And she for whom sigh in vain,
Who makes my bliss now makes my pain.
Being far frum me, this Autumn day
So far away.
Upon the waters void and gray
No floating sail appears in sight
The dull rain and the humid light
No wind has any heart to spite,
This dreary. weary Autumn day,
With love away.
Where shs Is may skies not be gray,
But sunlight thrill the vital air
All, were she here or were there.
Skies might be dull. or might be fair,
And l not heed. 80 she this day
Were not awey.
No gull wings out 'twixt gray and gray
All gray, rs far rs eye can reach;
The SEA too lisfless seems for speech
And vaguely frets upon the beach,
As knowing she, this Autumn day,
Is far away.
All. like that sea, my life looks gray
Like forgotten land Il lies,
With no light on il frUm her eyes,
Lovely and chzDgeful as those skies
Meath which she walks this Autumn day
So far away.
Bat they shall pass. these skies Of gray,
And she for whom / sigh in vain,
Who makes my bliss and makes my pain,
Shall turn my gray to gold again,
Being not, as now. that future day,
So far away.
