last week and business quite unsatisfactory
There was a pretty full stock offering, but
buyers apparently lacked orders or were hold
ing off in anticipation of lower prices, the in
creased receipts giving strength to the latter
position. Holders, however, a rule, were not
disposed to make concessions, although buyers
gained a little in the matter of price on the

Midwinter lettings.

By some people it is thought that the
winter is a season in which farmers
have nothing to do. But at our farm
we do not find it so, for the truth is we
hardly find any leisure, we see so much
to do, except evenings, and these we try
to turn to good account by the reading
of our books, magazines and papers,
which ought to be found in every farm
house in the land. These are now so
cheap it seems that no family ought to
be so poor that they cannot afford to
have quite a good deal of reading. If
a family does not have all that it wants
to read it can exchange with the
neighbors, and thus, for little money,
get the reading of number of publ
cations. Four dollars seems good
deal to some to pay for magazine, but
in such cases four neighbors could each
pay a dollar, and each in turn have the
reading of it and have week to do it
in. Other high-priced publications and
books could thus be enjoyed by num-
Der of neighbors. 1t is not every neigh
Dor / would like to do this kind of part
nership business with, but there are
others who are careful, and with such
it will work well.-HOme Farm.

Keep the Best Calves.

1t is the custom with majority of
dairymen to sell off their calves and
replenish their stock by the purchase
of cows in the market, where the value
of the COW for their use can be esti-
mated only by her appearance. This
is not a judicious plan, for it must often
result in disappointment, no matter
how promising the animal may be.
A much more satisfactory course, and
the one adopted by the most successful
dairymen, is to select the heifer calves
from the best mixers in the herd and
raise them to take the place of the
cows sold off because of age or acct
dent, or because no longer found to be
profitable. Where pains is taken to
secure a good bull from supe rior
milking strain to use in the herd Sc
lections can be made from the calves
that, when properly raised, may be de-
pended upon to prove profitable milk
ers, and thus the herd be improved
from year to year, 1t will cost less to
raise the calves than to buy cows and
the result will be much more satisfac-
tory.-Lire Stock Journal,

Saving Chilled Fowls and Pigs.

There is nothing like a good warm
bath for restoring young animals or
fowls which have become chilled. We
had brood of chickens which got out
of the coop and camped one night by
the side of the barn. In the night a
severe shower came up and in the
morning we found them cold and all
but one apparently dead. We gave
them warm bath and all but two re-
vived-and, as the old woman said of
the small baby, lived and did nicely.
Don't give up the pigs for dead until
you have tried a warm bath. A cor.
respondent writes as follows in an ex-
change: A few years ago / experienced

ticular attention to your wants so far
this winter. What do you want, any
way?"
Hen" want a good, comfortable
house for winter. 1t should be rain,
wind and frost-proof, with plenty of
light, sunshine and good ventilation.
And give us a good earth-floor that will
stay dry, have it well bedded with
leaves and straw for us to scratch in for
grain and have trough for us to eat
scalded feed from"
Former" You are getting choice,
think. Will not the old house do if it
is cleaned out and patched up some?
Times are hard and have so much to
do"
Hen" Just come into the old hem
house at nine o'clock p. NJ. and four
O'Clock A. NJ. and stay with us one hour
and if you are not the sickest man from
accumulated stencil and the lousiest
man you ever saw q imagine / can see
you SILVER now l will say teeth are
better than brains"
Farmer" If that is your condition
l lCont go near you. | think there are
few trees in the woods that might be
you"
Hen" That sounds like business.
Under our former treatment you could
not expect much of us, but well treated
we will shell out the solid meat that
sells at high prices now for ready cash"
Farmer" How is it you don't shell
out now? You have plenty to eat and
have free range of the farm"
Hen-"I have not had good meal
for month. Bugs, grasshoppers, in
sects and beetles are all gone, grain all
shut up in the barn and granaries. And
now, when | need it the most to grow
my new suit for winter and get ready
to lay you lots of high-priced eggs, you
give me poor rations.'
Farmer" Well, what do you want
in store for winter, seeing you have
more brains than teeth?"
Hen" Provide for us maize, oats,
wheat, bran, buckwheat, cabbage, pota-
toes, onions, beets, turnips, meat scraps.
cracklings, butchering waste, etc.
Farmer" Is that all you want in the
feed Incl"
Hen" Well, in fact, we want some
dried clover, more tender and sweeter
than that Terry keeps his horses on"
Former" Oh, come nowl You are
not going to eat everything on the
farm, are you, even down to my hay?"
Hen" No, sir; not hay. We want
young, tender clover cut, then dried in
the shade, as on the barn floor; then
in winter, when everything is clothed
in white, cut this dry grass fine and
steam it for hours in hot water; then
give us chance to hide it for you"
Farmer" Is that all you want pre-
pared?"
Hen" We want nice lot of road
dust gathered for our toilet-room and
stored in some dry place for winter use
a few loads of gravel, old plaster,
lime, charcoal, ETC., for appetizers and
toncs."
Former" Come, now, old hen, don't
get to putting on airs"
Hen" No, sir; we just ask for
necessities. Dust is our preventive for
lice. We have no teeth; gravel is our
grinders, which, without our feed, is
almost worthless to us."-J. NJ. Y, in

Essex SOW, which ought at the time to
have been well-housed and receiving
particular care, was, by some error of
omission, left unnoticed, and she had
in some way got under corn-crib and
was fastened into an enclosure made
there by wide slatwork around the sup
porting posts of the building. The
sharp, cold winds of early March had full
sweep through the place, and there was
not so much as a straw to make bed
on the smooth, hard-beaten and then
frozen clay. There the SOW was found
in the morning, with one half-frozen
pig nesting close to her and eight
other newborn pigs scattered about on
the ground, no two together, believe,
and all stiff and apparently lifeless.
The SOW had evidently been moving
about, trying to find soft or sheltered
spot, and had finally settled down fairly
content, or perhaps wholly discour-
aged, with the only pig having life
enough left to make a noise and attract
her attention. 1t was sorry sight,
and most of the little bodies were dirty
as well as rigid, some having open
mouths filed with dust. Called to the
spot, l had the SOW hastily moved to a
warmly-bedded pen with her one pig,
and after examining two or three of the
others abandoned them as dead, taking
one of the cleanest in my overcoat
pocket, on returning to the house, as
sample of the loss. On taking it from
my pocket it was no longer stiff A
sympathetic and sensible housewife
suggested thorough warming, and in a
few moments the little thing showed
signs of life. The others were then
brought in, and, after sponging and
washing out their mouths, were wrapped
in flannel and put into pretty warm
oven for few minutes. Movement
and effort to breathe was soon OBJ
served, and then each was gently rubbed
and induced to swallow a small tea
spoonful of cream, containing half a
dozen drops of brandy or some kind of
spirit. Faint grunting soon followed,
the dose was repeated, warm wrappings
continued and within two hours seven
of the pigs brought to the house were
as lively as crickets and calling loudly
for something to eat. One of the
largest, very likely first born and long
est exposed, never revived. AS those
of the Essex breed usually are, this
SOW was very quiet, and one by one the
pigs were, before noon, returned to her
breast. There was subsequent loss
of one pig, but the SOW raised seven of
average health and strength, where an
almost total loss had seemed certain"

Profitable Horse Breeding.

"Observer writes as follows in the
american Cultivdtor: "The breeding
of fine horses is matter which must
be of interest to many of your readers.
We are told by Mr.. Wallace not to
breed our mares to stations that are
nottechnically standard according to the
ideas of half dozen men in New York
or somewhere else. Mr.. Wallace ad-
vised us but few months ago to breed
large, rangy mares to well-bred stall
lion that would weigh 1000 pounds
and stand sixteen or sixteen and one
fourth hands high, with good open
gait of three minutes or better. He
said that the young man that would
follow these directions would succeed
financially. The same author now tells
us not to breed to a non-standard horse,
no matter how well-bred and promising
he may be. Any stallion that has a
record of 2: 80 or better and has one
of his get in q 40 is eligible to registry
as standard, no matter how he is bred ;
but stallion that has record of 2:30b,
no matter how good horse he may be,
is not standard, unless he is by stand
ard horse and out of mare by a
standard horse. A stallion that is a
grandson of standard horse of great
excellence, and whose dam is by a
standard horse, no matter how well
bred, is not standard unless the dam of
his sire is by standard horse. There
are half dozen large, well-bred, fine
gated stations in New England that
are not technically standard; but be-
cause they are not are breeders obliged
to take their mares to little, inferior
horses, with no gait or anything else to
recommend them, simply because they
happen to be technically standard?
think that the good sense of the breed
ers of New England will lead them to
stint their mares to well-bred, good
sized and fine-gaited stations, whether
standard or not. All things being equal,
of course the standard horse is pre-
ferable. There was pair of mares from
Boston sold last spring that weighed
about /, 100 pounds each and stood
sixteen hands high for 81 500. Their
sire was not standard, but had a record
of q 300. These mares were own sis
tiers, six and seven years old. Many
cases of the same nature could be cited.
| for one shall breed to the stallion
that has individual excellence rather
than to horse that is technically stand
ard and has nothing to recommend him
but his good relations"
There is much good sense in COB
servers" remarks, There are goot
standard and standardized horses, bu
there are also good horses which are no
standardized, even were speed only
considered. If horse be standard
bred, or even if he be " standard ,
himself, he is by no means certain t.
prove a sire of 2: 30 and better progeny
And horses have other uses than tina
of trotting a mile in 2: 30 or better
Pedigree is good thing enough, es
pecially when it is behind an excellen
animal, but there are plenty of peopl
now who learned good deal of pedi
grees in buying Jersey cattle.
