shut out the Cold.

The temperature of the living ami
nal body cannot vary greatly, and
therefore when the weather grows
colder there is an increased demand for
food to he consumed in keeping up the
natural heat \ low temperature is
an expensive condition, as every farm
er who has wintered his stock well
knows. There are two general meth
DDS of overcoming the wearying or eX-
hausting effects of severe cold wealth
er: giving the animals an abundance
of rich and palatable heat-forming
food, and securing them from exposure
in warm and comfortable stables. \
happy combination of these two meth
ODDS is the one to be provided by every
stock raiser who looks both to the com
fort of his animals and their prOtita-
bleness.
If stables generally could be warmed
with safety by stoves, there Is no doubt
that IA saving in the amount of fodder
would result Much can he done in
| this direction by keeping the animals
| in well-built stables, and free from all
chilling currents of frost-laden air.
The writer has in mind a stable, where

winter nights, because the stable was

A few hours of patching the walls,

pecuniary light, this method of keep

returns. There is no farmer who, be

afford not to house them well. He may
let them eat at will from the stack Ot
the best hay that is made, but if they
have no more shelter than the stack
affords, he may come to the conclusion
common to all bad agriculture prac-
tice, that farming does not pay. Lei
this be word in season for all thost
who may profit by it. Stop the cracks
in the stables. and save pain for YOU
animals and money for yourself. TAKE

pearl as large as hazel-nut, which
the gentleman did not hesitate to ap-
propriate. Thereupon the clam, smil-
ing clear way round to its back hinge,
returned to the water and disappeared
with a gurgle of satisfaction. This
affecting incident, besides showing
that even the humblest works of crea-
ton are capable of noble emotions,
teaches us the fine moral that we
should always be kind to animals, in
which respect it is much to be preferred
to the southern and western yarns re-
ferred to, which seem devised simply
to entertain the minds of the frivolous,
and convey no edifying lesson at all

The Iowa Constitutional
amendment.

A case testing the validity of the
prOhibitory amendment to the cOnsti
tuition, adopted by vote of the people
of Iowa in June last, is being heard
before the supreme court. The par
ticulars of the case are as follows
The state constitution requires that
all proposed amendments shall pass
two consecutive legislatures before go
ing to the people, and that such amend
ments shall be spread upon the jour
nails of the two houses, with the yeas
ANA nays voted thereon, and that the
language of the proposition shall, of
course, he the same in every particu-
lar that passed each house. In this
case the record of the seventeenth
general assembly shows that the
amendment originated in the house,
passed and went to the senate, where
it was changed beyond recognition,
and finally a substitute for it was
adopted. This substitute was in turn
amended, finally passed, and was re-
turned to the house in IA slightly differ
ent form, three words being admitted,
but in no way changing the sense.
1t passed the house, but was not
| spfeau upon une journal as Uhe recon-
/ structiOn requires. 1t was then re-
ferred to the eighteenth general as
sembly, and by that body passed i'll
due favor. The enrolled copy of the
amendment is correct, and the same
as that voted upon by the people.
If the court holds that all constitution
al law is mandatory, there can be no
other result than the overthrow of the
amendment. The briefs in the case
are carefully prepared, and it is quite
likely that the judges have been look
ing up authorities on the points in
vOlved, so that a decision will doubt
less be reached without delay.

The following story is told of Arte-
mus Ward When he was boy he was
fond of playing cards, an amusement
he was obliged to indulge in surrepti-
tiously, as his good mother did not APP
prove of it. One day as he was deep
in a game, supposing his mother was
absent, he heard some one approach
ing the door and Immediately gathered
up the cards and thrust them into the
pocket of Il coat hanging against the
wall, which he supposed to he his own.
A dreadful mistake on his part, for it
belonged to the minister who was stay
ing there for while. The next Sun
day there was baptism in the lake at
which this minister Officiated in this
same coat. AS he entered the pond,
the water bore up the skirts of the
coat, reversed the pockets, and the en-
tire pack of cards tiOated out and COW
cred the water for quite IA space, much
to the horror of all the good people
present, and the confusion of the I'M
fortunate divine who saw himself wad-
ing through an array of jacks, kings
and aces, dreadful to contemplate. 1t
is said that the youthful Artemus, who
was Immediately suspected, was treat
ed to the punishment which his esca-
pade deserved from the hands of his
maternal relative.
