Live Stock Notes for February.

The fourteenth of February is said to
be the stockholders mid-winter, and so
in fact it is, very nearly. The last part
OF the winter is, however, really more
trying to live stock than the first, and
they need more careful feeding and
better protection against changes. Con-
trary to former practice, young cows are
nowadays quite frequently MIXED
nearly up to calying. With old COWS it
makes little difference; ;but great mixers,
especially great butter cows, are in
danger of having milk fever, and it is
thought that there is less danger if the
flow of milk does not cease. Cow stables
should be warm. sheep pens on the con-
trary must DO airy. AS ewes approach
yeaning, increase, their ration of roots
separate them in small pens from the
flock, and take care that the early lambs
do not get fatally chilled. 1t is well to
cut the straw used for litter into foot
lengths. Breeding sows reed close.
warm pens, with plenty of litter and
good feed, in which cooked vegetables,
potatoes, pumpkins, tnrnips, and raw
apples may be well mixed. Horses need
care to prevent colds when used on the
road. Always have large blankets ready
to cover them when standing. Injuries
from callling and from kicks, as well as
from falls on the ice are not infrequent,
anil should in every way be guarded
against. As spring approaches, the
Importance of having definite plans for
work for the season will be felt, and
whatever good ideas may occur, should
be made note of for future reference.
Implements may be overhaulet and put
in order, so that when the time to use
them comes, they will be ready, and
vexations delays, and losses saved

delivered to customers, will keep per-

We have no doubt, that family going

use one or two. bottles a day during the
ten days and notice no difference
between that,used on the first and on

1t would seem to be truth appreci-
able by all, and especially by professors
of the healing art, that to remove the
disease, not to alleviate its symptoms,
should be the chief aim of medication.
Yet in how many instances do we see
this truth admitted in theory, ignored
in practice. The reason that Hostetter's S
Stomach Bitters is successful in so many
cases, with which remedies previously
tried were inadequate to cope, is attri-
butable to the fact that it is a medicine
which reaches and removes the causes
of the various maladies to which it is
adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague,
liver complaint, gout, rheumatism, dis
order of the bowels, urinary affections
and other maladies are not palliated
merely, but rooted out by it. 1t goes to
the fountain head. 1t is really, not
nominallY, radical remedy, and it en-
dows the system with an amount of
yigor which is its best protection against
disease.

FARMERS COLUMN.
Feather-Bono-Uss for tho usolss,


Few readers of the An. Agriculturist
are aware that the coarse wing.feathers
of turkeys and ducks, which can not be
used for busters, and are generally a
nuisance about the m-yard ,are of any
value. Poultry Faisers especially, will
be glad to learn that recent invention
has created demand for these hitherto
worthless feathers, and that company
is now manufacturing out of the quills
of feathers, and excellent substitute for
whalebone, which by the way, is becom-
ing scarce and dear.
The feathers are first stripped Of their
plumage by revolving shears, then the
quill is divided into halves by delicate
machinery, after which the pith is re-
moved, to be used as a fertilizer. Analy-
sis has shown it to be rich in nitrogen,
and therefore very valuable on the farm.
The split quilts are cut into narrow
shreds, and braided into strong strands
by machinery. These strands are in
turn combined, until there is produced
a firm elastic band, so strong that great
power would be required to break it.
This is sewed lengthwise many times
through with colored threads, the
feather-bone taking various colors from
the kind of thread used. Though the
business is only few months old, a
hundred persons are employed, and it is
daily increasing. Patents have been
secured in the leading Europeon coun-
tries, and large offers have been made
for the right to use feather-bone in
making whips, corsets, etc., but the
inventor chooses to reserve his rights.
One who has never given any attention
to the subject, scarcely comprehends
the demand for substitute for whale
bone. This commodity is said to be
even better for most purposes than the
whalebone which it initiates.
