Indoor Work.

The importance Of planning for indoor
work during stormy days is not fully ap.
precsted. There are many things that can
be done as we'll when il rains, sS during
fair days. With small farmers, the thresh-
ing Of the little amount Of grain raised may
be done by hand in stormy weather. The
tools should be thoroughly cleaned ,mended
and painted ifthis s needed aud put away to
be in readiness for the busy time OF spring.
A good days work may be given to the re-
pairing aud oiling OF harness. There are
enough jobs that may be done under sover.
to fill all the rainy days, if there is only
planning for IT, At this season there may
be feed racks needed, and day at the tool
bench is far more profitable in every way
than one spent in lounging, especially if il
be done at tho village store. Make tn,
most of evcry day, and not count stormy
days as blank ones.-AmericaH Agricui

Parsnips and Satisfy.

Tho same treatment in winter will not
onswer fer all root-crops alike. Boets and
carrots are the least hardy ofall, and when
frozen lose their sweetness TO a marked ex-
tent. The parsnip is not only not injured,
but many think il lie greatly improved by
freezing. If the amount OF sugar is not ac-
tually increased, ts flesh is so modified that
it tastes sweeter. The parsnips aud satisfy
are our very hardest roots (though we
should include horseradish,) and may be
left without harm in the soil where they
grew. But as we can not depend upon find
ing the ground open at all times, a share
should be dug to supply the table. These
may be packed in boxes or barrels, and il
they are to be kept in the collar, should be
coyered with sand to prevent ihem from

Kind Treatment of Animals.

No animal appreciates kind treatmen.
more than heifer Naturally gentle, it is
only by neglect that she acquires habits
harmful to herself and annoying to her
owner. The writer has seen calf six
months old made the object Of torment for
sport by group Of "smart" boys. The hei-
fer had bundle Of corn stalks bound under
her body by a stout cerd and was then set
at liberty fin the barn yard. She ran and
kicked, and finally broke through a weak
place in tho fence and hurried away to the
back of the field. The creature was never
afterwards the gentle animal she would
otherwise have been. The fright made her
afraid of all mankind, and especially Of the
boys by whpm she had suffered. In somo
such way as this, most OF the "wildness" in
farm ami nails has its origin.
At this season, when the young stock are
for the first time brought inta closer rela-
tions with the owners or keepers, il is OF
great importance to employ kindness and
gentleness. s.-Agriculttrist.

Young Fruit Troes.

Many seem to think that when they have

the trees require. A neglected old orchard
is sorry sight, but neglected young one

ground, will disfgure many trees in q short
time by browsing their tops or gnawing the
bark. Fences and gates need look ing to-
Young trees, especially those set last spring
or this fall, should haYs a mound Of earth
at the base, not mere heap thrown up
carelessly, but made smooth and firm, in
the form of a sharp cone, IL or Is inches
high. This will not ouly aid in keeping
the tree upright, but will prevent the at
tacks Of mice. Should snow be deep enough
to cover the mound, mice may work under
it while it is light and newly fallen, and it
will be necessary to go through the orchard
aud press the snow around each tree with
the foot. Rabbits will work on the snow,
not only barking the trunks, but we have
known them, when the snow was sufficient
ly deep, to cut Off the end Of every twig
within their reach. These animals have a
great aversion to blood, and will not touch
trees that have been smeared with it, In
large orchards, blood is procured at a
slaughter house, and applied to the trees by
means of a swab, made by tying few corn
husks to stick. Rabbits are IN good oon-
dition this month, and the use of traps will
prevent mischief and afford material for an
excellent pie or frcascs. Sometimes snow
is very damp, ard as it falls, lodges in the
tops Of the trees and accumulates there. II
this is allowed to freeze, the branches will
be badly injured should there come a strong
wind. When snow thus gathers. it should

until spring. The work could hsys been
started q month or two earlier, but much
can yet be done in all but very cold locali-
ties. It is Of little use to try to make q gar
den on wet land. Unle;s the soil has nat
ural drainsss, tile or plank drains should Be-
laid the fret thing. If sod land be selected,
apply good dressing Of manure, break II
up, and let it lie until spring, when anoth-
er manuring and plowing, with thorough
narrowing, will be needed. The success in
the garden depends largely upon the
amount of manure applied to ii. Stable
manure to the extent Of so or so loads to
the acre is needed, or if SO much cannot be
obtained tho lack should be supplied by the
use of ground bone, hsh-guano, superphos-
