Winter Care of Livestock.

There are few general rules for
the care of live stock in winter,
which are of universal application /:
FIRsr,-They should lilo dry
whether bedded or not. A dry floor
lis Tar better than wet bedding. Spar
or slat floors, through which urine
will quickly pass, and which give
the animals level standing place,
are especially to be advised. A
good degree of comfort may be had
on such floors, but full supply Of
dry litter--straw, leaves, swamp
hay, etc.-certainly makes all kinds
OF stock more comfortable.
SEcoND.-Shetcr saves fodder,
wherever lumber can be easily OBJ
tanned, to a degree which fow prao-
tical mon arc aware of. The warm
or the stables arc, the better, except
perhaps for sheep. But with close,
warm stables, il is essential that the
manure heap should be whore Il
will not eontaminate tho air, and
that there should be perfect venti-
lation, so arranged as not to cause
drafts of air.
THIRD.-As to feed. This should
DO given with the utmost regularity
and uniformity-never more than
will be all eaten up long before the
next feeding lime. Then the ami.
mails have m appetite for their food,
so that coarse fodder may be first
given, TO be followed with better,
and by grain in some form, IL this
bo part of the daily ration. This
is no doubt the most economical
system, securing the least waste and
best digestion of all kinds of fod der
used in The ordinary way.
FouRTH:-Grooming and care Of
the animals are q most valuable
means of keeping them in health as
we'll as OF saving feed. The skin Of
an animal existing in state of ma
turo is washed by every shower,
brushed and cardod by every bush,
licked by its mates, rubbed by the
ground in rolling, and in various
ways kept FREQ from denominations
OF its own calculations, from tho
stoppago of its pores by sweat, and
from its own inherent dirt. A
healthy skin means warmth, health,
life, and vigor, other things being
about right, and we can secure this
only by grooming.-[A American Ag'
riculturist.

won't do to say that the poor are
too lazy TO work and buy land and

this mean that these sydlcates are

acres in Texas and large tracts in
Arkansas? Why don't the United

The GoYernment gave away 100
millions of acres in Texas at one
time to a wealthy corporation to

land than is contained in any four

MISCELLANEOUS.
AZ the Deer OF the Year.

The corridors OF limo
Are full OF doori,-the portals OF closed
years:
We enter them no mere, though bitter tears
Beat hard against them, and we bear the
chime
OF lost dreams, dirge-like, in behind them
ring,
At memory's opening.
But one door stands ajsr,-
The New Years; while golden chain of
days
Holds it hslf-shut. The eager foot delays
That presses to its thresholds mighty bar;
And fears that shrink, and hopes that shout
aloud,
Around it wait and crowd.
1t shuts back the unknown,
And darn We truly welcome one moro year,
Who down the past a mocking laughter
hear
From idle aims like wandering breezes
blown
We whose large aspirations dimmed and
shrank
Till the years scroll was'bankf
We pause beside the door,
Thy year, o God how shall we enter in ?
How shall we thence Thy hi den treasure
win?
Shall we return in beggsry as before,
When Thou art near at hand with infinite
wealth.
Wisdom and heavenly health!
The footsteps Of a Child
Sound close beside us Listen! He will
speak,
His birthday bells have hardly rung week,
Yet he has trod the worlds press indebted,
"Come with Me p hear Him through His
smiling say,
Behold, am the Wsyp'
Against the door his face
Shines as the sun. His touch is n command,
The years unfold before His baby hand
The beauty of His presence fills all space.
" Enter through Me- lie saith, nor wan
der more,
For To- | am the Door,"
And all doors openeth He,
The newborn Christ, the Lord Of the New
Year.
The threshold of our loo ked heats standeth
near;
And while he gives us back loves rusted
key,
Our future on us with His eyes has smiled,
Even as little child.

At this point three or four indi.
viduals on the outskirts OF the
crowd began shooting, but the
Wicked took no notice of the fact
as he continued:
"The Lion can't partner with tho

the buzzard ! Sinks, sluggers, ours
and reptiles, | go!
Here the shooting increased ono.

through the Wicked's hat AS he

"But | will return, and when
do look out tor oceans of gore In
less'n year I'll dump your town
into the river AMI hold the site fur
private grave yard! Whoop
Yip-yi !-whoop
The Wicked held two shooters on
the crowd as he galloped off, and
the result was two men killed and
three wounded. A hundred bullets
whizzed around the fugitive, but he
turned the bend without having re.
eeiyed scratch.
Twelve months had passed away.
1t was evening when five horsemen
rode slowly into Bunko. Wicked
James wrode at the head of the pro-
cession. He had come to fulfill his
promise, and there was blood in bis
eye.
Allows this ere :" queried the
Wicked as they reached the brow
OF the hill and looked down upon
the town.
Gas lamps were burning IN every
direction !
The procession moved down to
the spot where the Red Eye Saloon
had stood year before, and again
the Wicked uttered growl of sur
prise.
The saloon had disappeared, and
in its place stood solid brick build.

The procession moved down to
the next corner over freshly laid
pavement. In place of "The Can.
Gan dive" WAS n fine opera house,
and across the street was great
hotel.
Like men who walk on the steep
root of a house, the procession NOV

was the spot from which the Wick

ago. No, it can't be Here are

The Wicked rubbed his eyes like
a man who has slept too long, and
he looked this way and that in
dumb amazement. By and by he
said:
"Boys, let's gin one old-fashioned
yell and break this mirage"
They clleG in chorus.
The echo had not yet died away
when men wearing uniforms and
silver stars suddenly appeared as If
rising from the earth. The Wicked
and his companions were pulled
from their saddles and hustle ed
across the square into prison cells,
and while yet they seemed to be
struggling in the embrace of some
terrible dream they were brought
into court and heard the observa.

judge:

LEANING TOWER Cracks of a danger
GUS character, necessisating the abandon
ment of several houses in the vicinity, have
been discovered in the cleaning tower" of
the old church OF st. Lambert, at Muen-
ster, in Westphalia The tower is there
fore to be torn down, in spite of the many
historical associations which render it SO
dear to the citizens of Muenster. For the
purpose OF demolition the scaffolding used
at the erection of the Cologne spires has
been put to service The wooden Gu
pola has already been removed. Be-
meath its shelter have stood for 300 years
the famous iron cages in which were
exposed the bodies of John of Leyden and
his two Anabaptist associates, put to death
in 1868. Having proclaimed himself king
and prophet and dispossessed the Bishop of
Muenster, John of Leyden was afterwards
taken prisoner, carried about from place to
place and at length executed in the city.
The three bodies were then inclosed in the
iron cages and hoisted to the top of the
tower, where they remained until few
weeks ago. The cages and other relics of
the time will be exhibited in Muenster
until the new tower, which is to be built
out of the old materials, has been con-
structed. The fact is not directly stated,
but we are left TO infer that they will then
be replaced upon their lofty perch, to con-
tinue what has certainly been one of the
most curious reminiscent exhibitions of the
spirit and manners OF former day.
