FARMERS COLUMN.

Farm Work for February.

farm WORK Tor teDruary,
SEEDS of all kinds should be procured
now, that they may be on hand as soon as
spring opens. Dealers are overruu with
orders just at sowing time, and they do not
then give the quickest and most careful at
tention. 1t is of the greatest Importance
that only the best seed Of the choicest
sorts are used. Canvass the whole subject
Of seeds with much care, and il will be time
well spent. There is no economy in sowing
cheap seeds, and.when there are weed seeds
present it is great mistake and source Of
much future trouble.
MANURE.-The making and saving of
manure are among the most important la
hors on the farm in winter. The value OF
this product depends upon the character of
the food given to the animals; the kind age
and care of the stock, and the attention
that it receives after it is dropped. Manure
from the stables may be put in square, com
pact piles, which will retain sufficient heat
to keep out the frost and rot rapidly. By
adding the fresh manure to the top, and
forkin5 in the sides, the whole heap will be
in fine condition for use in the spring, and
will give quick returns on any field crop.
The worst arrangement is to have the drop
pings scattered over large open yard, to be
frozen and trampled into the mud.
FARM ANIMALS should be kept neat and
clean. Examine young cattle for lice;these
pests may be founds along the back and
neck of the animal. Rub the infested parts
with kerosene oil, diluted with an equal
quantity Of sweet oil or lard.
Horses that are idle may be kept in a
yard with an open shed for shelter, and il
| fed with lew ears of corn for their grain,
will keep in good condition. Work horses
need good stables and an abundance of
wholesome food. Use the currycomb and
brush daily, thus keeping the surface Of the
skin il vigorous and beautiful condition.
A sharp currycomb is 10 be avoided, as it
irrtatcs the animal. The keen points may
he filed d)wn.
Pres thrive in dry, warm, and well ven
lated prns. A large portion Of the swine
troubles come from too much dampness and
filth. The brooi sows need special atten-
tion, and should be provided with large
warm room, with fine litter. Give them a
mixed diet
PoULTRY.-To do we'll in winter, fowls
need sunny place where they may have suf-
tcient exercise. Brood hens need a warm
and quiet place to bring forth their early
chi KS. These will be ready for the early
market, and bring good prices.

A Dissertation On Man.

Man was made in dry
weather.
Man was made of dust.
Quite a number have never
recovered from their creation,
they are still dry.
1t is a mans nature to be
discontented. Adam had a
monopoly, but he could not
be happy without some one to
crow over.
For a while he knocked
around over the garden of
Eden, and then went to the
house, but he had to cook his
own supper, no stove wood
chopped, and things were in
a bad state generally.
The next morning it was
the same way. He had to
make his own bed and sweep
out. His socks were dirty,
arm would run through a hole
in his sleeve. So he was dis
satisfied.
The next night when he
went to sleep the Creator
punished him by making one
Of his ribs into a woman-a
great misfortune to the race.
1t has been six thousand
years since that rib was lost,
and yet man continues feeling
for it.
This is very feeling sub
ject.
Pursuit in this case is said
to be sweeter than possession.
After Eve got acquainted
with her mate, she vowed that
all the men in the world were
not worth Adam.
Goliath was a man.
He was bigger man than
old Grant, but he could not
stand SO many sings.
A fop is a male who is
ashamed of his sex, and at
tempts to conceal the fact that
he is q man.
Concealment in such cases
is attended with but little
trouble. 1t is only necessa Y
to part his hair in the miu-'
die.
The family man resembles s
an oyster on the half-shell.
The shell is known at
home, the soft side abroad.
Some men carry this re-
semblance in their faces. A
great many men have coun-
tenanccs like oysters.
job is said to have been a
very patient man. He had
boils all over him.
Many a man now boils all
o er himself when the preach
er reaches thirteelthly on a
hot summer day, and never
tn nix Of the grandeur of jobs
example.
1t is natural for a man too
disregard good examples.

A Trme Object Of Charity.

A few days ago young husband and
father died, leaving wife and four
small children in destitute condition.
That the young man was poor was no
fault OF his, for he was extremely sober,
and industrious when he was able to
work. None of the very few relatives
the young widow and her orphans have
are able to render but slight aid in their
sorrow and distress, though efforts will
be made to have them provided for as
soon as possible. Something is needed
for present wants until such arr nge-
ments are made. The name of the poor
widow in need would be published were
it not that her sufferngs are already as
much as she can bear without enduring
the modification sensitive woman
must feel by the public announcement
of her name. Should any charitably dis
posed persons wish to know more about
the family before contributing for their
assistance that information will be fur
nished at the RErUBIICAN office, and
from those who want no other assurance
than this statement of the worthy OBJ
ject Of the charity asked for, any con-
tribufion left II: this office will be
thankfully received 'and faithfully ap-
piled.

No risk I'm Marrying q Widow.

a man risks little in marrying a
widow. He runs no danger of dashing
any romantic female ideals of the high
and noble character of man. She knows
what man is, and knowledge has driven
from her mind all this nonsense. She
has found that man is il creature of a
narrow mind, of no high pursuits, of
few ideas, Of IA generally dull compo.
sition, of small passions, and largely
governed by his own bodily wants
that, if he is made comfortable by sup.
plying his physical appetites, he is
amiahle, like the anaconda, after full
meal. She looks for no hero, and is in
no danger OF being soured by that dis
appointment. Therefore he need not
fear that when the halo of the honey
moon has dissipnted, he will find in her
a taraway expression Of face and
listlcss manner, AS if expectancy had
failed. She knew the situation when
she accepted it, He will find that she
knows all the little wants which 60 to
make up man; knows how to crafty
them, and how TO regulate them. And
if she is not quite all his fancy painted
her, he has little reason to complain of
his practical hel pmate.
