Live Stock in Winter.

All life upon the farm requires
greater degree of watchfulness in win
ter than it does at other seasons of the
year. In summer, for instance, there is
free range in the open air with plenty
OF exercise, and all that the animal
needs in the way OF food or drink. or at
least that should be the case. The ami
NAL is comparatively free to make its
own selections, and usually does so,
with sufficient wisdom to insure its
health. But with the winter comes i'm
prisonment and greater degree of de-
pendence for necessaries and comforts.
In the summer it can sleep in the open
air. with the green grass for bed. In
the winter it must, or should have, pro-
lection from the cold, stormy weather,
and bed furnished it. Its comforts
should be studied. for discomiorts mean
either falling off in condition. or the
consumption of food without improve
ment. Having supplied it with adequate
shelter, its bedding should be comfort
able and especially should it be dry.
All stables should be so constructed that
the beddings of animals should not re-
main wet. and that can be prevented by
arranging to carry off all water. Some
recommend slat floors, through which
the water can run and thus keep the lit
ter as dry as it practically can be kept.
1t need not be stated that saturated
bedding must have a tendency to chill
the animal, either when it lies down up
or it, or rises from it, and the object to
be sought in the winter keep of stock is
warmth. We ought to avoid the ne
cessity of feeding to keep up an UNI
necessary waste OF animal heat and il
that were not a consideration, the
preservation of health, which is always
endangered by permitting an animal to
lie or stand in that condition, shou d be
sufficient to prompt us to keep the ami
NAL well housed and otherwise COM
Portable. ..I.. ~
We must not forget, either, that sun
shine is grand promoter of health, and
that it is just as necessary to our ami
mails as it is to ourselves. Stables ought
to be arranged so that the sunshine can
get into them some portion of the day.
Fresh air and sunshine are the cheapest
things that we have, and we ought to
utilize them We hardly. need say,
therefore, that we are not partial to
basement stables. But il such are used,
even though we may not be able to get
the sunshine into them, by all means
J let us have the best possible ventilation.
| When stables can be constructed so that
they can have the benefit OF the morn
ing sun, and are well ventilated, they
constitute the most perfect stables. -

Consumption OF Watch Glasses.

According to the Rerue Chronone-
trique. there are annually manufactured
$500. 900 watches, and during the last
fifty years more than 10000, 900 have
been put ON the market; there remains
vet for us to add a stock of not less than
50,000, 900 of old watches, which makes
a total of S6,000.000 TO $1,000, 900
watches requiring glasses. The new
watches consume nearly 1000, 200,
which makes an annual consumption of
not less than $4,000, 900 of glasses. But
we must add that every matchmaker
away from town sees the ne essity OF
always having on hand an assortment
corresponding to thewants of his custom
ers Then if we take into account chill
dren's watches, lockets, compasses,
etc., one finds ones self with astonish-
ment in the face of an annual consump-
ton which cannot be less than 100,-
900, 900 of glasses. Scientific Ameri'

RICHMOND.
Gov. Camercns's Message 10 the
Legislature.
His Views on the State Debt
Question.

RICHMOND, VA, January 6.--Goy-
ernor Cameron sent In his first mes
sage to the General Assembly to-day.
In it he recommends the atf4p ion,
without unnecessary delay. of the
measures which shall provide for the
discharge Of public obligations upon
the basis set forth in the act passed
by the last General Assembly, and
known as the 'Riddleberger bill. p"
Great misapprehension exists, he
says, as to the purpose of the people
of Virginia in regard to the final
settlement of all controversy con-
cerning the State debt As he under
stands the views and will of the
people, they do not intend to re-
pudiate any just obligation, but to
assume and pay that portion of the
principal which is properly chargeable
to the present State of Virginia, and
to restore all classes of creditors to
a plane of equality.
True Indebtedness of the State, he
says, should be determined by CONS
putting the full interest to the date
of settlement from the period when
Virginia lost control of and ceased
to draw revenue from the territory
embraced in West Virginia.
Second. By crediting against the
sum total of the principal and interest
so obtained, and acknowledged pay
ments on both accounts made by
Virginia since the portion of her
territory. If this shall be done and
provision made for the liquidation of
the amount so found to be due
no charge of Reputation can
he laid at the door of the peo
pie of this Commonwealth. AS to the
rate of interest which can and should
be paid on the principal SO ascertain
ed and assumed, the Governor
says all parties in the State are
agreed that the present rate of tax
alton cannot be increased, and that
three per cent. is the largest rate of
interest that can be provided for
with certainty. The Governor con-
tinues: We are supportedin this con
not only by the financial ex-
perience of many years, but also by
the fact that the proposed interestisas
great an average as the rate paid by
the debtor class of the world on
public securities at the present day,

Guiteau case will present the law
points to Judge Cox tomorrow
morning.
His honor will rule upon them
Saturday morning, Immediately after
the opening of the court. Davidge
will then make the opening argu-

Mr.. Scoville will reply for the de>
fense on Monday, and will be fol-
lowed by Col Reed and Guiteau,
who will be permitted to address the
jury, if he desires to do SO. Judge
Porter will make the closing argu-

Mr.. Scoville remarked this morn

four days. If this expectation is
realized the case will probably go to
