Farm and Garden Notes.
Open and utilize a farm dairy.

Open and utilize farm dairy.
Practise keeping farm accounts.
Sharp tools save time. Sharpen them
now.
Don't neglect to give the idle horses
sufficient exercise.
Save all waste and refuse matter that
is available for the compost heap.
The owner of good for nothing cow
throws away time, food and labor
Nothing more important for cows,
and espec ally butter cows, than regu lar
and judicious sailing.
In growing onions. parsnips and car
rots good seed is all-important. Use
none of doubtful vitality.
Brooms dipped for few minutes in
boiling suds once q week will last longer
than they otherwise would.
Have you forgotten to provide dust
boxes for your birds; We are sorry if
you have; make them now.
Remember that wood ashes are of
great value, and secure all you can for
top dressing meadows and grain fields.
To prevent the smell of cabbage per-
meating the house while boiling place
on the stove dish containing vinegar.
Take care of meadows in fall, winter
and early spring, and two tons of good
hay to the acre will be surer than one
toa without care.
Oats supposed to be clean are so often
full of dust and filth and impurities as
to seriously weaken the appetite or i'm
pair the health of horses.
No better, cheaper or easier wav to
salt has yet been proposed than to keep
some Jumps of rock salt in the trOughs,
or IN boxes IN the pasture.
The question has been raised whether
warming water Tor stock in anv but very
cold weather pays, and whether it may
not even do harm for beef cattle.
1t pays to pillow the second crop of
clover under. 1t may seem like loss
of hay, but the benefit to the land will
more than balance the apparent loss.
With young stock especially, allowing
the fences to become broken is one prin-
cipal cause of stock becoming breachy
Either have good fences or none at all.
Toads are the policemen of the garden
They speedily transport insect depreda-
tors to a place where they will do no
harm. And this interior Jail is quite
capacious.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Get Acquainted With Your Horse

Get Acquainted With Your Horse.
Never ride horse without first max
ing his acquaintance and securing ms
good will. Go to his head, speak kindly,
pat him, look in his eyes. Whether you
are q friend or foe he will judge by
your voice, your eye and your breath.
Horses judge man as quick as a man
does a horse. Feed and water album
dainty at night after work and the animal
has had time to rest and cool off. Feed
moderately in the morning or before
work More horses are injured by hard
driving on a full stomach than by any
other process. Never let horse eat or
drink much when he is hot from work.
Study your horse. treat him according
to his nature, make him your friend and
he will do better and safer work.

To Fatten a Young Steer.

A young steer taken from Q herd ano
put in stall by itself will not feed for a
few days and perhaps for two weeks
after he gets reconciled he will begin to
eat, but two or three weeks will be lost
before the animal will eat freely. Tempt
the appetite by giving a little bran aud
cornmeal on some sliced potatoes or ap-
pies, with some good hay or some corn
ears, or anything that will be eaten
readily. Then gradually increase until
an animal OF 500 pounds will lake ten
or twelve corn ears daily, with fifteen
pounds of good hay and some little corn
fodder or straw. a change to cornmeal,
with two or three pounds of cottonseed-
meal daily, will be useful. At least two
months feeding will be required to make
an animal in fairly good condition fit for
good beef. A 1OOO-pound animal may
be expected to gain two pounds in
weight daily. 1t will be help to give
some fine cornmeal in the water A loose
stall Will be better than a narrow one in
which the steer is tied -Ne,O Yor',;

THE PUNCTUAL TIDES.

The punctual tides, with sullen roar,
Wash On the seacoast's peJbly floor;
Dark drift and floating wrecks they strew
Grinding the old and building new
And building new.
So the long years. with muffied sound.
Bring tribute from the far profound;
Hoarse winds and stopping clouds go by,
And man fares hence we know not why
We know not why.
The tides of time, they rise or fall
With that white waste that circles all;
Our years in vaster periods move,
AS our poor loves in lasting Love
In lasting Love.

The HOt-Bed Sash,

Those living in the close neighborhood
OF the city have some excuse that thew
have no need for hOt-beds to advance
crops ahead of the usual time, as every
thing is brought to their doors. But the
farmer, and those not so accessible. or
who have not the money to paw out
daily for everything that may be in the
market, had better make use of this old
fashioned help to the gardener-1he hot
bed. There are very few vegetables
that will stand days of travel and ex-
posure, and be as tasty as those grown
on ones own grounds or in ones own
neighborhood- They answer good
purpose for the million, and to those
who know no better, are satisfying: but
those who have the facilities to grow
something Of their own, or who live
away from the general markets, NAV. if
they so elect, have something better.
In the South, the hot-bed time will be
at hand; it will gradually travel North.
and to be in time when it does come
those who have hot beds should paint
up and get ready. Those who propose
to begin their use should be looking out
for ways and means. The sash part is
now very cheaply made by manufactur
ers; the box itself any.handy man can
make. The only other article wanted
for starter is the horse manure for heat.

It does not require much more time to
take care of a hundred sheep at this
season than it does for one or two cows,
vet they need to be looked after every
day. They need fresh water where they
can go to it when they please: Sheep
drink but little at a time, but drink
often, when not feeding upon green
grass or eating roots. They need fresh
bedding frequently. They need shed
that will protect them not only from
snow and cold lain, but from drafts Of
cold air. The sheep shed should be open
upon the south side to admit the sun
light and TO allow of the escape Of the
etfiuvia from the manure under them,
but it should be protected by board
fence high enough to shelter them from
the wind when lying down.
They should also be looked after each
day, and if there are any weakly ones,
or any that are not doing well, they
should be separated from the main flock
and given little better care and better
food No domestic animals are more
cruel to sick companion than the
sheep, and when one is unable to make
its way good among the rest, i will
be kept away from the feed rack, and
made a target for the butts of ITS COM
panions, until death releases it. They
should have exercise every day, when
they can take it without getting the
wool filled with snow or rain. Il is not
the cold that Injuries them, so much as
the extra weight they have to carry

from now until after lambing time, it
will be better to give little grain each
night, and reserve the roots until later
in the season. Roots are almost an alb
solute necessity to successful sheep
growing about the time they drop their
lambs. The grain may be either oats,
barley, corn or wheat bran. The oats
are best as steady feed, but the bran is
almost equal in value and costs less.
They like variety, however, and little
corn in very cold weather will not in jure
them.
When culling out the feeble ones,
examine them to see if they have ticks
upon them, and kill all that can be found.
The sheep tick, like all other parasitical
vermin, seem to especially like to swarm
upon a weakly, sick or poorly fed ami
NAL, and it is not unusual to find more
of them upon sic!, sheep than would be
found upon all the rest of the flock. Nor
is the sickness a result of the presence of
the tick, as some have imagined, as they
will be found always upon sheep that

Exposure to fire, writes Colonel Floyd
Clarkson in the Mail anil Express, brings
out the different characteristics of men.
Those who are naturally stubborn and
cOmbative become more so and make
the best fighters. The way men beha We
when exposed to the enemy's fire de-
ponds on whether they expect to be hit
or not. Some men, especially those
new to the work, go into charge firm
ly convinced that they are going to be
shot. OF course they are frightened
when they look at in that way. NO man
is willing to 90 deliberately to meet
death, and the idea of being hit, even
slightly, is not pleasant. Looking at it
in this way, the men become extremely
nervous, and in some cases it makes
them actually sick. When compelled to
go forward, they are so excited that
they hardly know what they are about.
Other men look at it differently, and
do not expect to be hit These are men
who have seen service. They consider
their chance of being killed so slight in
ordinary engagements that they act as
though they were Indifferent to fire. It
makes all the difference in the world In
their behavior, and it is the duty of the
officers to convince the men that they
will not be hit. They should even ex-
pose themselves to severe fire if necessary
to assure the men.
When | was in the Sixth Cavalry
down in North Carolina we had lot OF
new men. A charge was ordered and
the first company advanced. They were
in an open road close by a piece OF
woods. At the first volley from the
enemy they took to the woods. Then
ordered up the second company. The
men were white as ghosts, but they rode
through the fire. The cavalry charge is
with relvolvers pointed in the air, and at
the word "fre' the barrel is dropped and
the volley fired. In this charge the men
were so excited that most of their shots
went straight up in the air or over the
heads of the enemy. A couple of months
later the same men would ride and fire
as steadily and drop their bullets close tc
the OBJ ect aimed at.
Itrequires more nerve for men to stand
and receive than to ride forward and re-
turn it. The excitement of firing helps
keep the mems courage up. Only vet.

are dropping on all sides. l remember

the face of the enemy's fire. 1t seemed

that they dropped their guns and ran,
leaving US to gather in some prisoners
and leave the ground clear for the in

remember an incident at Chapulte-
pee that tried the nerve of the men. A
forlorn hope was ordered and every tenth
man was told off. One of the men who
was detailed was so badly frightened
that he became very sick. He was con-
vinced that he would be shot, but he
went through the charge, received bail
on his belt plate and came out all right

Raising TurnipS.

A piece of newly cleared land, rich in
decayed vegetable matter, is, without
doubt, the best of all for a turnip
crop, aud on such ground, If not sown
SO thickly as to hinder their growth,
very little is required beyond getting it
into fine mellow condition for receiv-
ing the seed. In this respect, for thin
ming out afterward, whether sown in
this manner or in drills, is not only
troublesome, but is disturbing to the
plants that remain. The seeds are so
very small that it is quite difficult to sow
only the right amount. l think them a
much more useful crop than many do,
for they can be fed to stock to great adj
vantage after other green food has be-
come scarce. Their value as a table
vegetable is well-known, and the best
varieties for that purpose can usually be
sold so as to make it profitable to devote
small plot every year to their cultiva-
ton. Quite often they can be made a
second crop, and they succeed en- any
clean, well-prepared rich land, and are
not injured by light frosts.-NeO York

Value Of Corn Fodder to Dairymen.

EaIue OF corn Fodder to DairYmen.
OF course no more can be in the slo
than is put in, and analyses of ensilage
so far show that there is little, if any,
gain i'll the digestive value of food from
SLIDING. The feeding experiments and
analyses made at the New Jersey, Wis
consln and other agricultural expert
ment stations show that SLIDING, very
slightly, if at all, increases the palatabil-
lty or actual value of corn fodder as
food. If equal quantities of corn fodder
are taken and one we'll cured and the
other sliced, they are equally well
eaten by cattle, and the products are
of substantially the same value. Hence
the popularity of the silo and of SLIDING
largely rests On the more economical
preservation of the fodder; and the de-
gree of that popularity shows plainly
that our methods of dry curing corn
fodder were so wasteful that we realized
only traction of its value. Professor
Henry has found by actual trials that q
good Wisconsin yield of fodder from
one acre GAPS pounds) with 300
pounds Of bran and $3.50 pounds of corn
meal, will make 500 pounds of butter
with COWS capable of making $50 pounds
of butter per year. The prices of meal
bran aud butter will vary with the To-
cality, but in few cases they will be such
that computation on the basis of the
above statements will not show that the
fodder has a surprising value. If the
silo has shown us the real value of corn
fodder, the study and money put in silos
and SLIDING have been well spent. and
the information gained worth its cost

efficient instrument in education than
1t actually is. 1t has often been point
ell out of late that rs it is at present
taught IN our schools poetry is simple
tortured into Il fitting subject for ex-
animation. Poems are chosen for
reading not SO much because they are
of kind to appeal to the feelings and
experience of childhood, but because
they afford excellent material for an
examination paper. What, for exam
pie, could be more absurd than to
place Paradise Regained" in the hands
of pupils of fifteen or sixteen? That
poem, the enjoyment of which, accord
ing to a high authority, is the last re-
ward of Il consummated scholarship, is
in truth, of all poems in the world the
best fitted to engender IN boy life
long disgust for every form Of poetic
production. Short poems judiciously
chosen and taught from the point of
view of Fenelon would certainly 60
far to be counter balance that deaden-
ing of the emotional side of our nature
which Darwin SO sincerely regretted in
his own case as the result of exclusively
realistic studies
But after all, if Fenelon's notion be
correct, it lies with each to make the
most fruitful application of it for him
self. Thoroughly to master one poet
and enter into his spirit is in any case
a finer discipline than the cursory
reading Of thousand. This is indeed
the counsel of all the great masters of
knowledge. Historians have been care
ful to tell us that they never really un-
derstood history till they had thor
oughly mastered one period and it
used to be the earnest advice of an en-
inent professor of philosophy to his
