Stock in Winter.

AS the season has now arrived fox
combining stock, and they are prevented
from taking the amount of exercise they
obtain in the milder portions of the
year when they are at pasture, in order
to maintain their good health greater
attention is necessary to the require
ments of the animals. One of the most
important of these is frequent supply
Of salt. Mankind as a rule does not
partake of a single meal without having
it Literally seasoned with this important
natural product. The craving of ami
mails is of a similar nature. The hunter
knows that the wary deeer can be sure
ly allured to destruction by the magnet
ic-like influence of the salt-lick, and
there quietly awaits the arrival of his
victims. Domestic animals have the
same longing for salt, which can only
be satisfied by frequent and liberal al
lowances. We are told by African trav-
elers that children in that distant land
are often seen sucking Jumps of rock
salt and enjoy them as much as chill
dren here do the "mintstickn The
horse, particularly, relishes this nutri-
tious seasoning; and to the hog it can
be given in its food in increased quanti-
ties with beneficial results. The sheep
being smaller feeder requires less
quantity than swine. Salt in its pure
state is fatal to poultry, but when mixed
to small extent, with their food, has
an excellent effect. -GermdntoWn Tele-

Cheap SmOke-H0uses.

A good Smoke-housc is Il necessity on
every farm. large or small, where any
meat is cured at all. There exists no
reason why every farmer who slaughters
swine should not have the delicious
sugar-cured hams rs we'll as the more
ordinary fare Of picked pork.
A good smoke-houlse does not ncceS-
sarily imply an expensive one All that
Is Imperative for u >moke-hou>e is Il
room of sufficient size which can be
filled with smoke and shat up tight,
with convenienccs to hang up the meat.
A sweet, clean caSk has efficiently
served as a Smoke-house where only Il
few hams We're to be smoked In most
OF the smoke-hOuSeS on farms the fire is
made on stone slab in the middle of
the floor. In others Il pit is dug about
one foot deep in the ground and the fire
placed in that.
In some Of the improved smoke
houses the fire is made in a pit outside
of the house and the smoke commune
Gated to the house by means OF pipes
Stat shelves are provided in other houses
upon which the pieces Of meat are laid
(skins DOWN during the smoking pro-
cess, instead Of being hung up, accord
ing to the old mode
a plan common in sections of Mary
land and Pennsylvania is building the
smoke-houSe upon a brick wall and over
a brick arch. through which number
of holes or spaces are left in the brick
work for the smoke to pass through. Be
meath the arch is the aSl-pit, and a door
opens into this. The door to the meat
room by this arrangement is reached
with the assistance Of a ladder.
Meat, in whatever sort of smoke-horse
it is prepared. should be continually sur
rounded by smoke produced from ma
terial that imparts a pleasant flavor, as
good hickory wood or corn cobs. While
the smoke ought to be continuous. the
smoking process must not be fastened
to such degree as to raise the temper;-
tllre sufficiently to make the fat ooze out
OF the meat, or to prevent the creosote
in the smoke from thoroughly permeat-
ING its entire substance In u word, the
fire from which the smoke arises should
neither be permitted to die out nor blaze
up in flames: Old smoke-hotlScs should
be thoroughly cleaned out previous to
use, and the cOnyeniences from which
the meats are suspended examined to in
sure their being strong enough for their

Mixing Of Corn.

1t appears from experiments that while
some appearance of mixing in two sorts
of corn takes place the first year, the
complete crossing is apparent only the
second year in the crop grown from
these mixed ears. Every farmer is IA
miliar with the variegated ears where
sorts of two colors are planted near each
other. Prof. Beal reports an expert
ment where he planted an early, eight
rowed, yellow dent, and through it a
single row of yellow flint. Before flow
ering, the tassels of the flint corn were
all cut off, making impregnation by the
dent on this row necessity. There
was no trace on the ears of the flint of
any crossing with the dent the first year.
The next year, however, the flint corn
showed all gradations from the dent to
the flint. He reports some varieties as
being less affected with crossing than
others, and names the red or brown va
rieties as having the greatest fxity of
type, which accords with our own OBJ
servations. To prove the influence Of
climate and locality in changing corn
without crossing, he says that the King
Philip corn went to Kansas and in three
years was sent back well marked with
dent.-Couaatry Gentleman:

in large heaps heat is generated and
decay rapidly follows, conditions
which should be carefully avoided
Ventilation of cellars or pits in which
such roots are stored is usually neces-
sary, but this will not prevent the heat
ing of the roots in the center of large
heaps or bins, because the cool air will
not reach them even when those on the
outside are frozen. The better way is
/ to divide up the crop into smaller lots;
then it is easy to control the surround
inc atmosphere. More roots are lost
every winter through keeping them too
warm than too cold, and heating,
sprouting and decay usually follow
careless storage of root crops in gen.
eral.
With ornamental bulbs and tubers
the same rules should be observed as
in the preservation of those that are
useful. Those coming from cool eli
mates should be kept cool, and those
from warm climates warm. Tuberoses
can scarcely be kept too warm and dry
during the winter, and a warm room is
a better place to store them than dry,
cool cellar. Gladiolus bulbs should also
be kept dry and warm, for if the air is
moist as well as warm, they will GER
tainly sprout before the time arrives
for planting out in spring. Dahla
tubers are more delicate than sweet
potatoes, but will keep sound in mod
erately cool and dry atmosphere. The
safest way to keep them, where per-
son does not possess greenhouse, is to
pack in kiln-dried sand and tight bar
rels, and then set them away in dry,
warm room where they will not freeze,
or in a warm cellar, and as high on the
shelf as convenient. The tubers should
be examined occasionally during the
winter; if too dry add moisture, and if
too moist take out and dry them and
return them to the barrel. There is,
however, greater danger from moisture
than dryness, because few persons. ex-
cept professional gardeners, take up
and dry their tubers and bulbs properly
before packing them away for winter.
The lifting is usually done in a great
hurry and at the last possible moment
before the ground freezes up, and then
the roots go in covered with wet earth
or mud, there being no time or conven-
fences for drying and properly prepar-
ing them for their winter quarters. N

Il WISH.

If could find the Little Year,
The Happy Year, the glad New Year
If | could find him setting forth
To seek the ancient track
I'd bring him here, the Little Year,
Like peddler with his pack.
And all Of golden brightness,
And nothing dull or black,
And all that heart could fancy,
And all that life could lack.
Should be your share of the pedder's ware,
When he Indid his pack.
The best from out his treasure
a smile of yours would coax,
And then we'd speed him on mis- way
At midnight's failing strokes
And bid him hurry round the world;
And serve the other folks.
