FARM AND GARDEN.

lsRING STOCK.-It is excellent practice to
gyOck in the best possible condition by the
he ',e winter comes. Experience teaches that
ST ntering into winter quarters in good con-
can be kept without difficulty; while an
beginning the winter in poor condition.
,a Isl. nding an abundance of feed, careful
S"uolng and the best attention, will invariably be
poor order in the following spring; particular
~ Is this the case with common stock Fat stock
consume less amount of food than poor stock,
because there is not so much required to keep up
the animal heat.-1Tibune Farmer.
COOKING FOoD FOR HENs-When eggs are
scarce 1t pays well to give extra care to the hens
Generally, cooking food for animals does not pay
but In the cold months, or at any time when hens
are wanted to do their "leyel best.n it does pay
to cook food for them 1t is good plan to keep
big iron pot hidden under the kitchen table
and into it throw parngs of all kinds all sorts of
table refuse, and fill up with small potatoes
Cook until very soft and keep it on the back of
the range all night in order to have it warm in
the morning. Before feeding mash all well, and
stir in bran, meal, or middlings.
THE HEALTH OF THE COws-The followingis
from The Country Gentleman: Health may be
promoted by studying the effect of different foods
fruitful cause of disease in cattle is the steady
FEEDING f dry, woody, fbrous food. This produces
impaction of the manifolds, and general derange
ment of the system. In the rations generally
given it will be noted that there is more or less
oil meal advised. Oil meal seems to have similar
effect upon the system to turnips or other roots.
1t produces a gentle relaxation of the bowels,
and counteracts the effect of dry, fbrOus food In
many dairy districts flaxseed is purchased at %
moderate price, say from 130 to $50 per bushel
and it will pay the dairyman, or feeder of cattle
or horses, to buy few bushels of haxseed and
grind it with his other grain. One bushel of flax
seed mixed with twenty bushels of corn and oats
and all ground fine together, will, by reason of its
oil, render them slightly laxative, and assist
terially in giving proper action to the digestive
organs This will answer instead of oil meal
1t will show its effect by givinga soft. mellow skin
and glossy coat. By studying the effects offood,
the feeder may prevent most of those diseases
that render the services of the farrier necessary.
Food is all the medicine that is needed
The National tribune., 1881-11-12

turned the colonel and he related the brave feat
of our hero to the listening whites.
"Well youngster you're a cute one, ant 30
mistake John Chamberlain is glad to shake
hands with you"
The speaker-a tall, rugged-lOoking man, clad
in the leggins and frock of hunter-advanced
and shook hands with Berry.
"Heres something to remember me BY he
continued "When you look at 1t, remember that
John Chamberlain gave it to you"
AS he spoke, the hunter slipped over Bertys
head cord with a medal attached to IT.
But what the boy treasured as most precious
was his mothers kiss on his forehead, when she
heard the story of her sons manly thoughtful
ness and his brave feat of arms.
None of the women-folks had received any In
jury, and that night the farmhouse was noisy
with rejoicing. The settlers loss was easily re-
paired. Strong arms took hold and helped him,
and before a month was passed another barn
stood on the site of the old one, and was filled to
the ridgepOle with a generous crop of hay.
For many years no other Indian depreciation
scared the good people on the Swamscott, and
Berry Hilton from boy grew to be a man.
But no Drawer deeds marked his manhood than
the one he performed when, in his boyhood, he
saved his fathers life and much blood at the set
Element by swift speed and a sure hand.

JOHN PLouGHMAN,s PROVERBS.

He who boasts of being perfect is perfect in
folly
You cannot get white flour out of a coal-sack.
Every head has soft place in it, and every
heart has it's black drop.
All mems faults are not written their fore
heads; and it is quite as well they are not, or
hats would need very wide brims.
There's fire in the flint, cool as it looks wait
till the steel gets knock at it and you will see
The best men are men at the best, and the best
wax will melt.
Being all Of full of faults we ought to keep
two bears and learn to bear and forbear with one
another. We ought to use our neighbors as
looking glasses to see our faults in
Every one must row with such oars as he has,
and as he can't choose the wind, he must sail
with such as God sends him.
If the cat sits long enough at the hole she will
catch the mouse.
The morning hour carries gold in its mouth.
He who drives last in the row gets all the dust
in his eyes.
An honest man will not make dog of himself
for the sake of getting bone
A rogue's purse is full of holes.
He will have blisters on his feet who wears
stolen shoes.
Little expenses, like mice in barn, when they
are many, make great waste.
Hair by hair heads get bald.
