The great secret in wintering cattle
cheaply is having proper stabling and
a proper quality of hay. 1t is well
known fact that warm weather and an
abundance of grass will make cattle
grow faster than anything else; and
when they are deprived of these il fails
upon US to provide the best substitutes
we can, and the nearer we approach the
real the greater our profits will be. For
warm weather we must substitute a
wIrm stable. Not close, damp, lily
ventilated one. but one that can be
closed and be made comfortable against
a blizzard, and made more open on
milder days. Ii cattle are not kept too
warm in mild weather they will be bet
ter prepared to stand cold snap. They
should never be left out all day in a
storm, when accustomed to a warm
stable They should have exercise, but
l would rather deprive them of this for
a day than expose them TO Storm
En-.
Up to the age Of six or seven exercise
is OF far greater importance chan edu-
cation, and children cannot possibly
have too much fresh air in order TO be
robust, of course avoiding undue ex-
posure to excessive heat or cold. If left
to itself a child will rarely exceed the
reasonable bounds of fatigue, and a
free and unfettered use of each portion
of the body will promote healthfulness
and grace.
Let them run wild. so TO speak, ill

become well-formed. strong and healthy,
and there will be then plenty of time

Those who make butter on farm
should properly weigh it and make it
into pound prints. or even larger
sizes if in rolls. Let the rolls be
wrapped in clean muslin cloths, the
ends nicely drawn over so as to make a
neat package. Then fill large crock
OF tub with strong brine and immerse
the rolls in it; put a weight on to keep
them from floating, and when ready for
the market they can be taken out and
sent to the grocer. who in turn can sell
it to his customers without breaking il
all TO pieces. The butter will not alb
sOrb salt from the brine. because butter
and salt never make alliances this on

nor viii it take up additional moisture.
Being completely covered with brine, it
will not be influenced by the air, and
will remain comparatively fresh and
sweet for a long time. The lscSic acid
would also slowly develop under this
treatment. especially if lit be kept at a
reasonably low temperature. Another
plan is to thoroughly wash the butter
while in the granular form with brine,
and when free from buttermilk place
the granular butter in muslin sacks
holding two or more pounds. to suit the
wants of customers, and put the sacks
into brine, as before stated.-Er.
