WINTER CARE OF STOCK.

do not make this appeal to those
who are raising thoroughbred stock
or who are devoting their time and
money to the most intelligent meth
DDS of stock raising, supplied with
new and commodious barns and sur
rounded by all the modern improve
ments, but to that more numerous
class of farmers whose barns were
built half century or more ago, and
whose methods of feeding and care
are even more ancient. To these
would l suggest the adoption of more
rational and remunerative systems of
winter care of stock.
Warmth is second only to feed for
the prosperity of any stock. Many
who read this have practiced turning
their cattle into the yard by eight
o'clock in the morning of winter
days, where they remain till four in
the afternoon, possibly being tied up
for noon feed, but more likely a
coarse fodder dinner being scattered
for them in the yard. / ask that all
such farmers should t1y for one
month the method of keeping every
creature sheltered all day, turning
out but once, about noon being the
best time, for drink. | am convinc-
ed that under this method cattle do
better and consume less hay. New
mich COWS may need more drink,
but pail of warm bran slop supplies
the want.
A single load of spruce, hemlock
or Eastwood logs if carried to the
saw mill will make large number of
half-inch boards or battens, if split
up in widths of four inches or more.
These should be nailed over those
cracks of the barn that have been
widening every year for an age. Hay
enough will thus be saved to pay the
saw bill. Better still. if around the
stable whole boards be nailed so to
leave few inches space between the
inner and outer walls, the space be-
tween being filled with straw or for
est leaves. The partition in front of
the cattle should be firmly boarded
up, drop door being fixed through
which to feed. The managers should
be SO partitioned off that no one ami
NAL can steal another's hay.
Regularity in feeding is essential
to success. also that no more feed be
given than will be eaten up clean
Feed a variety while possible, and
salt occasionally by dissolving coarse
salt in a pail of hot water, anc
sprinkling foddering of hay o.
straw. Frequent use of the cattle
card makes friends of the stock ane
pays in dollars and cents. A peck
ct full of corn nubbins will Undue,
cattle to promptly take their prope
places in the barn, while screaming
and pounding will ever cause disas
trous commotion.
1 1t is often said that winter is th,
time when we feed out all we cal
raise in the summer, as though i
were a season of dread with no prof
accruing, but to the thoughtful ant

should be a season of great satisfac

WHY CHRISTIANS SHOULD
LABOR IN THE CAUSE
OF TEMPERANCE.

One Of the greatest reasons why a
christians influence should be felt, as
well as seen, in the temperance cause
is because the object is in harmony
with that for which Jesus came on
earth to seek and save the lost. If
drunkard is not lost, who is? To
whatever extent he has become a
drunkard he is lost to himself, to bis
friends, to society and to God. oh,
how terrible human being lost to
conscience, to manhood, to God.
Reason and divine law are set
aside, present and future consequent
ces are disregarded he appears more
like maniac than man. 1t is
sometimes objected that temperance
societies are only aiming at the NOR
al and not the spiritual reformation
of the individual. If we admit this,
holding at the same time that moth
ing short of spiritual regeneration
will save some inebriates, while 9th
ers may be reformed from this sin
by the farce of the pledge and moral
associations. But why object to CO.
operating with such societies on this
account? Is not partial reform bet
ter than none? and is it not true that
sobriety tends to serious reflection
and an acceptance of the Saviour in
an evangelical sense? Christians
should take hold of this cause, for
without their aid it cannot succeed
they represent christianity, and the
christian religion is the only reliable
reformative system in the world.
Consequently those who wear the
''Shield of faith and WELD the sword
of the Spirit" are the trained SOL
diers capable of rendering the most
effective service to the cause of tenn
perance.
Temperance is an important branch
of practical religion, and christians
can cultivate it to better advantage
when associated with temperance So
cieties, than in any other way. 1t is
sad to note that when these societies
disband, temperance sentiment grows
low in the church. The truth is tenn
perance societies are the skirmish
lines of the church, sent out to feel
after the enemy, to ascertain and
prepare the way for the gospel, to
make its direct attack upon the eta
del of the heart. Such work will not
soil the garments of the purest chris
tians in the army of Jesus. Church
members should contradict the false
impressions occasioned by certain
class of professed christians, namely
that the church yields the temper
ance cause an unwilling support,
Such christians, Notwithstanding
their membership in the church and
their occasional fair speeches are
never heard to pray earnestly for the
cause, nor join total abstinence So
ciety; they misrepresent both the
Master and the church on this sub
ject and render it hard for others to
make the rue impression.

SWIFT JUDGMENT. = During the
''crsuade,'' some earnest christian
women in place in northern
Pennsylvania went to the chief sa
loon keeper of the place and said !:
eve want you to look at the head
stones in our graveyard, and count
the young men who have gone from
drink sold by you. Is it not about
time that you should stop this bust
ness?' The saloon keeper, pointing
to license hanging on the wall, an
swered, ''There is the authority for
my business, and whatever may be
the results, I'll sell, if l go to hell
with my whole family. Get out of
this place! '' They went. their way,
leaving the saloon keeper in the
hands of God. Two weeks from
that time the eldest son went out of
the world fighting demons in delirium
tremens. Two months later another
son was run over by railroad train
and. brought home dead. Three
months later his wife died in luna
tic asylum. A few weeks afterward,
the last one of his boys was brought
home on a shutter dead-killed in a
row in a neighboring saloon. This
man is now a lunatic.-ChristiG,

Swept into the Stream
One Thousand Acres of Land and s.Ieight
Smart of Bears.''

On the deck of big Mississippi steamboat stood
an aged Southern planter. Indicating by sweep
OF his arm the waters the boat was passing over, he
said to a passenger from the North 'sWhen I was
twelve years old L killed my first bear on a new
plantation my father then cutting out of forest

That was mighty good plantation, and there was
right smart of bears there too. But that thou

1t is putting strain upon the figure to say that
great forests of youthful hope, womnly beauty and
manly strength are swept in the same way every
year into the great, turbid torrent of disease and
death. Yet it should not be So That it is so is a
disgrace as well as loss. People are largely too
careless too stupid to defend their own interests
the most precious of which is health. That gone,
all is gone. Disease is simple, but to recklessness
or ignorance the simplest things might well be
complex as proposition in Comic Sections. As the
hinge Western rivers, which so often flood the cities
along their shores, arise in few mountain springs,
so all our ailments can be traced to impure blood
and a small group of disordered organs.
The most effective and inclusive remedy for dis
ease is PARKER'S TONIC. 1t goes to the sources
of pain and weakness. In response to its action,
the liver, kidneys, stomach and heart begin their

EDUCATION AS TO TEMPER
ANCE.

The evils of intemperance, if I'VE
accept so good an authority as the
Medical Neaus upon this subject, are
seen by physicians more frequently,
perhaps, than by any other class of
men. if we accept the officials in our
courts and prisons. Rum is the
most fertile source of physical dis
ease and deterioration, to say moth
ing of it's results, wastefulness,
crimes, and moral destruction.
To combat this gigantic evil, the
Woman's Temperance Union has be-
gun at the beginning. They aim at
the education of the young in the
principles of physiology and hygiene
as applied to alcohol, opium, and
their congeners. To do this they
propose to obtain the enactment of
laws in all the states similar to those
now in Vermont and Michigan, viz,
that there shall be in the public
schools as one of the regular studies,
elementary scientific instruction in
in physiology and hygiene, which
shall give special prominence to the
effects of stimulants and narcotics
upon the human system. Public
sentiment shall thus be created by
public knowledge of the character,
extent, and influence of the evil. 1t
is in the school-house that the dram
shall find its strongest foe. Give it
twenty years and it will win. These
women mean business, and they go
about it in most business-like way.
Their plans for work are as elabo-
rate as those of any strong political
party. No prentice hand has sketch
ed them out. They use no invec-
tive, no polemics, no sarcasm, no or
atory, but hard, scientific facts, and
well-founded statistics. And if sys-
tematic work will win, they will not
lack for it, They have six depart
ments; preventive, educational,
evangelic, social, legal, and one on
organization, with numerous subdivis-
ions. Last year at ST. Paul, through
their inspiration, the American med
ical association passed strong resolu-
tons deprecating the alarming
prevalence and i'll effects of intern
perance," bespeaking conscientious
caution" on the part of the profess
sion in prescribing such potent
drugs, and welcoming "any change
in public sentiment that would con-
fine the uses of liquors to the uses Of
science, art and medicine As 6

TRIFLING WITH DANGER.-I was
