shine in stables are OF vast lmpOrtanc,
to the general health and thrift of farm
stock, and they should always be con.
structed with view to admitting a.
much as possible of both. In old barn.
and stables where the stock quarters arc
dark land where they are dark thew are
usually damp it will be good idea t.
put in some new windows to admit light
and sunshine into them. The present
is good time to attend to this, and the
considerate person will see to it.-IEx.
The Brady Sentinel administers the
following wholesale advice to the owners
of sheep:
| Three years ago; when cattle seemed
to be declining and the sheep business
was on boom, large number of our
cattle men in the country sold their
cattle and went into the sheep business.
In short time after they sold, cattle
commenced going up until they reached
point that no one thought they would
ever reach. The result was that great
many who sold cattle and bought sheep
regretted it, although wool growing
proved to be fine business. Since sheep
have deprecated in value and wool is
down, we see great many wool growers
who are anxious to sell their sheep and
invest in cattle. To such men we say,
| Improve
! them, and you will find in the end there
is money in the business. There is a
financial depression all over the country
and it has not only affected the price of
wool and sheep, but cattle have also de-
preclated in value, as has almost every
thing else. Such state of things can
not long continue, and the probabilities
are that those who stick to their sheep
/ will next fall see considerable reaction
in the price of wool and sheep, and by
spring wool will bring such price as
will satisfy sheep men that they have
the best paying business in the country
a New York State importer of cattle,
gives the following information in his
catalogue concerning the Guernsey
breed of cattle: The ordinary methods
OF butter making on the island are as
follows: The cows are MIXED three
times day, and the milk is set in earth
enware jars; it remains in them until
quite solid, and then the whole mass is
churned, leaving only the very sour
milk and buttermilk for the calves.
Golden butter results, which commands
the highest price, exceeding very mater
tally that obtained for the butter made
on the sister islands. In all the gardens
may be seen the tall green stems of the
Guernsey cabbage, with a few leaves
remaining on the top. AS the plant
grows the lower large leaves are plucked,
and in them, as dark green wraps, cool
and deWy, the Guernsey matronS bear
their butter prints to the handsome
stone market in St. Peterport, and there
await their customers. The young
calves are ordinarily kept in dark pens
until turned out to nip grass, and it can
not be said that they are pampered; in
deed, a more liberal feeding would
doubtless give them a more desirable
early growth, as it is quite evident when
the young animals of the few generous
feeders are inspected. The cattle on
almost all the little farms are tethered
the pins are moved three or four times
a day in regular manner until the line
of cattle feed over the field, and are
then taken back to crop 1t again in the
same way.
Pasturage endures for many months,
and the grasses are Extremely nutri-
tious, enabling the farmers to produce
from their COWS an expected average of
a Guernsey pound of butter Us or for
each day of the year without high feed
ing. Cows yielding Ii pounds or butter
per week are very common, and much
larger records are authenticated.
Read this concerning the effects of
imagination:
The case of DR.. Taft, of Hartford.
who was informed by eminent physicians !
that one of his lungs had been destroy /
ed by disease, and that he could not live |
six months, but who did not believe it /
and lived on comfortably till sixty years /
of age, leads the New York Hour to |
comment on the frequent plumbers +
about certain internal maladies and the |
effect of the Imagination upon physical
health:
sit cannot be doubted that every wear
thousands OF people are frightened into
their graves by unfavorable reports on
the condition of their lungs. Each vital
organ has disorders and weakness pecu-
liarly its own; and the lungs have their
share. Pain in the chest is always at
tributed by persons affii tied, to diseased
lungs, and the influence of the magma
ton upon the vital organs is so power
full that the malady may be quickly in
creased. There are some forms of
fever which induce terrible
aching in the chest. The victim knowing
nothing Ofpathology attributes the cause
to either pneumonia or consumption,
and begins at once to break down. Con-
sultation with an ordinary country
practitioner usually veriies his fears,
and unless he dimes at Widespread
table and has good appetite-which
seldom accompanies malaria-he either
gives up and dies, or hurries away to
health rest for con sumptives.
Heart disease is another popular
humbug which physicians too often sup
port. The heart is the most vital of the
physical organs, but, like all the others,
it can and does endure a great deal of
abuse. It is very easily affected SYM
pathetically, so any temporary disorder
Of stomach, lungs, or liver may make its
action irregular or cause pain which
seems to be located directly in the heart.
Almost every one has many acquaint-
ances, apparently healthy, who have
told him in strict confidence that they
have heart disease.
Itshould be remembered by the aff1ict-
ed or the frightened that all the vital
organs are out of sight, and that the ex-
treme of skill and experience can only
imperfectly ascertain their condition.
The kidneys are the only exception to
this rule, for their condition for the
time being can be judged to some extent
by what comes from them. But even
this test may be misleading, and it is the
means of a frightful amount of abuse
