Roses in winter are not often
killed by cold but by the drying
out of moisture which cold often
causes. We have known roses in
cold frames where the thermometer
must have been down to zero Who'll
ly uninjured, when they often sui
fer seriously by frost of twenty
degrees in the open ground. Oiled
muslin stretched over the bed is a
good idea, because it partially
arrests the evaporation which ends
in death. 1t is also now we'll known
that bright light is often a great
agent in the death.dealing evapo'
ration of our cold winters, so that
the oiled muslin, aiding darkness
against light, ought to have merit
in preserving it.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
SHOEIHS FARM HORSES.


Numbered with other questions
that are argued by practical, selS''
BILE men, and likely never to come
to any decided settlement, IS tne
one. "Shall farm horses be shod or
not p That this controversy must
be settled by each man for hlmseii
lies IN the fact that some horses
under certain conditions can go
without shoes, and in truth are
better without them but that no
horse under all conditions can WORK
or travel barefooted. In an article
on this subject in The American
Aqricultmist appears the testl-
mony of various individuals Ill
different sections of the country
A correspondent writing from
Iowa considers it an unnatural pro-
ceeding to shoe a horse. lie say''
"If one examines the hoof OF a
colt that has never been shod IL
will be found that there is a sharp
edge on the under side. The OBJ
iect of this IS that the animal may
90 on smooth roads. IT the horse
is never shod this protection re-
mains as long as the animal lives,
but in shoeing it has to be cut OIL
and it will never grow as perfect
again as it was naturally" This
correspondent believes that mr.
shod horses can do all necessary
farm work in both winter ana sum-
mer. A correspondent from ONO
writes "My advice is don't snoe
your horses, Keep the colts ieet
properlv trimmed while growing,
L
as You would shape a fruit or orna-
mental tree, and when he is OLD
enough to work he will be able TO
do without shoes, unless it be for
some special purpose"
From Wisconsin correspondent
writes of his experience with both
shod and bare footed horses: "Our
roads are not very hard, being
country roads, where gravel is not
plentiful. My horses are sound
and their feet good, but when |
tried to work them without shoes |
found 1t would not do; their feet
soon became tender and sore. If |
we're obliged to use them every day.
even in winter, | should have them
shod; for there are days when the
roads are in such condition that it
would not be safe, neither could
they draw a load without ;hem."
Many farmers do not give suf-
ficient attention to their horses
feet, though they may curry and
rub their hide well. The feet, how.
ever, should have close inspection
and care, for if these become I'M
sound there is little work to be
gotten out of the animal. To this
end the floor and bedding should
always be kept dry and clean, that
manure may not become caked I'M
der the foot, and every morning
the hOOfs should be examined and
freed from any such accumulations.
A soft frog should be guarded
against, for it causes an animal to
90 lame with very slight cause. a
little alum water and brine applied
once a week hardens the frog

THE JUSTICE ''UHJINED" THEM.

BELLAIRE, MICH, Dec, H.
John Henry Lawson and Sarah
Jane Clawfeld went before a justice
of the peace a year ago and were
married. They quarrelled and a
few DAYS ago agreed to be divorced,
walking eight miles Saturday to
see the old Justice who had married
them. The Justice put on his ju-
dicial look and sternly said: "Un-
iipe hands" AS they were sitting
ten feet apart thiswas hardly nee.
essary. "NOw, John Henry Law
son, you stand over by that side of
the house, and you, Sarah Jane

will well and truly assign, transfer

which she may stand seized at the
time Of the dissolution of this
partnership; and do you further
promise not to remove the same
goods, chattels, children, clothes
and bedding from the said town

the premises of the said party
without the written assent of the
said party of the first partW
81 do said John Henry.
SARAH Janc," hold up your right
hand" said the justice.
A like oath was administered to
her, ending with: "John Henry
and do you further promise that
you will in future do nothing to
modest or make afraid, so help you
God ?"
81 do yehemently asserted
Sarah Jane.
Stepping to the door and gazing
around the adjoining country, the
Justice loudly said "Ilear We, heal
We, hear ye! If any man has aught
to say why this couple should no
be unjined asunder, let him forever
stand forth and say it or hold hi

No objection beng made, he sol
emily concluded : "Then, by VIRTUE

GLEANInGS.

The farm animals are now entire
~ dependent on the farmer for
their food, and he who understands
his business will deal out the feed
at such times, and in such quaint.
ties, as is best for them; but this
is a work that requires long, prac-
teal, and good judgment; it is not
every man that can learn to feed
farm stock without waste. While
one man will possess the wonderful
faculty Of making the cattle eat up
the coarse fodder clean, another,
try as he will, the cattle will waste
more than one.t third, if not half Of
the coarse fodder, and the cattle
will not look in as good condition
as those that are made to eat the
fodder up clean.
Onions should, in winter, be kept
dry in garrets, though heat will not
iniure them like other crops; very
heavy freezing will hurt them /;
slight, will not. Potatoes are ser
iously injured by air and light; a
cool dark place is best; the old
fashioned pit out ofdoors gave good
results. Squash and pumpkins
must not freeze; a dry placeis best.
Winter radishes go with root crops.
Sweet potatoes are Southern pro-
duct, and can be kept only when
the heat is steady at or somewhat
above 50 degrees.
When working for extracted
honey two or more kinds of honey
should never be put in the same
cask, where each original flavor
cannot be detected. All receptacles,
even those new, should be well
rinsed with pure cold water, and
after well dried, waxed, if of wood.
en- structure, before using. Either
extracted or comb honey should
be stored in warm, airy rooms, free
from impure air.
Hog crop statistics given by tho
Department OF Agriculture, says
the Rural World, show the hog
supply to be below what it has
been for three previous years in
the great swine aud cOrn.growing
States. From this it is inferable
that hogs will command good prices
for another year at least. The
great scarcity of food would, by
natural law, hold prices up.
The garden needs more manure.
This fact should always be kept in
mind, aud every bit of waste that
is likely to leave any value, me-
chanical or otherwise, as manure,
should be added to the heap. 1t
is wonderful what a lot of manure
may be got together by those who
keep this always before them.
If any eggs are to be expected at
this season of the year the laying
hens should have warm houses,
and be regularly fed with a variety
of good feed; never iced musty OF
sour feed, nor keep hens in house
that is not properly vontilated.

Five WAYS 10 stop or Cure a Cold.

1. Battle the feet in hot water
and drink pint of hot lemonade.
Then sponge with salt water and
remain in a warm room.
.. Battle the face in very hot
water, every five minutes for an
hour.
3. Snuff up the nostrils hot salt
water every three hours.
4. Inhale ammonia or menthOl.
5. Take four hours active exer-
else in the open air.
Summer colds are the worst OF
all colds oftentimes, as it is then
very difficult to protect ones self
properly. a ten-grain dose of qui-
nine will usually break up a cold in

set the blood actively in circulation
will do it, whether it be drugs or

Attention is again called to what
ought to be a well known fact
namely, that nothing will keep a
stable so free from odors as the
free use of dry earth. Everybody
who keeps horses or cattle will
find that it pays, with interest, to
keep on hand a plentiful supply OF
fine dry soil to be used daily. A
