That the outward fcfm-both as tc
horses and cattle, as well as of the
smaller classes of farm stock-is of the
highest Importance, there can be nj
question. Outward shapes are made
primarily by the formation of the frame,
and secondly, by the size and formation
Of the muscles. When we have added
to this the placing thereon of a becoming
fat deposit, we have the whole story as te
outer contour. Yet these do not give us
the whole truth. They give us the
anatomical formation only, while those
things we cannot look inside and see,
namely, the manifestations Of physiology,
the digestive and assimilatiye forces, the
tendency to rapid growth, to health OF

strong-is rarely practiced in feeding.
The beast that needs the best morsels is,
as q rule, the n that gets the poorest.
There are, as is well known to farmers anc
feeders, animals in every collection, ne
matter what the breed, that are strong in
appetite, digestion and muscle. These
individuals drive all comers-get the

to farm beasts that are fed tout In the
open, where the weak are required te
compete with the strong, else go without
food.
Regarding the surface as related to the
deep-seated parts in the matter of ability
to yield valuable product and contribute
to the general profit, it is not unfair t.
make comparison with the mine; as, In
this case, no matter how attractive those
parts are in sight, we look deeper dowr
for the main results.
As limited, no full success can come ol
any plan of feeding that sandwiches the
strong and weak together, no barriel

WATER FOR SHEEP IN WINTER.

5, A good many farmers think that sheen
do not require water in winter, and
especially when there is snow on the
ground. This undertaking the need
of a good supply of water for their focks
in cold weather, causes much cruelty
and leads to the practice of false economy.
If sheep will live by eating snow, it is
no evidence that it is best for them, anv
more than for any other farm stock. Ii
good clean water is provided daily in a
warm place sheep will drink it twice a
day, and sometimes T%oftner. They do
not drink much at a time, but a little
water is a necessity for their thrift during
cold weather. Weekly Witness.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
PRODUCTS or WILD LAND.

Uncultivated land is not wholly unpro-
huctive. In some places people make more
ready money in an easier way by harvest
ing and selling wild berries than they can
by the poor farming methods they give
to their partly exhausted cultivated land.
Yet where wild berries are profitably
grown, cultivated berries of the same
varieties will be still more productive,
and pay even better if properly managed.
A farmer ought to be ashamed to let ma
ture's unassisted methods excel his best
efferts.-Americdn Cultivator.

SPREADING MANURE IN THE WINTER.

Manure made in the winter should.
when it is possible, be spread as it is
made, IN the land where it is to be used.
1t is a fact that cannot be ~controverted,
and has been abundsntly proved both by
reason and practice, that manure is never
worth more than it is the day it is made.
Nothing is added to it, but usually much
is lost from it by lapse of time. Except
on steeply-sloping ground, the manure is
safe from all danger of loss, and is put
where it will do the most good when il
is spread on the land direct from the
stable. There is no more handling of it.,
andif is rained upon all that is dissolved
from it goes into the soil, just where it is
wanted. Hence it is a convenience and
an economy to haul out the manure and
spread 1t as soon as a wagon load is
gathered.-Ameriean Agrieulturist.

Ventilation.

We have now come to the time OF
year when we shall sit with our win
dows closed and our doors also, says
the Lndies' World. and shall conse-
quently feel the loss of that pure air
which we have hitherto admitted
through open doors and windows. Not
only shall we suffer this loss, but we
shall have 10 endure the untold evils
that accompany the warmth Of stoves
aud furnaces.
We can do much, however. TO miti-
gate these evils by judicious ventila-
ton Of the houses. but it will require
some management and q little study to
accomplish this. The simplest method
of ventilating a room is by opening the
windows from the top aud putting II
mp from the bottom, allowing the foul
warm air to escape, and pure air to en-
ter. At open fireplace helps greatly
to keep the air pure. II the bedroom
windows are guarded by shades and
blinds one at least may remain open
all night, provided it does not subject
the sleeper to q draught, and the effect
will be highly beneficial. They should
IlDSI ttIlllulb w uOut III Aua aPd't-
ment heated by a stove or furnace, as
carbonic-oSides escape from either as
ordinarily manufactured.
Air is sure to become unwholesome
whenever it stagnates long, so that the
best thing one can do is TO make it cir
culate, or at least 10 set II in motion
outward from the room. and this can
be done. as we have said, by opening
the windows at the top and bottom. If
windows and doors are opposite each
other, open both, if it is only for sixty
seconds, and let a strong rush Of cold
air come in; and this will drive the
heated foul air ont.
On coming into the room after this
ventilation, no one with any sensibility
can fail TO discover the healthful differ
cnce between foulness and purity. This
simple act of ventilation should be per-
formed in every sleeping chamber
where lamps have been lighted and
people sitting before retiring. This
thorough air cleansing will be needed
in addition to opening the sashcs and
leaving them thus with blinds closed
and shades drawn down.

many you are seated in a rude chair.
with mysterious arrangements for the
head which you never find quite in the
right place and the officiating artist
winds his razor about your face with q
vehement sweep that would cause, l
should think, nervous prostration in
one who had disturbed his nerve CEN
tiers by forms of industry not com
mended by medical advisers. The
friction of the swift razor, kcenly WHIP
ing the skin, is, however. sufficient 10

and spare him from imaginary evils.

was done he seemed 10 think his work
was accomplished. but, on being adj
monishcd that the situation was IN
satisfactory, he would dip the corner
fresh ones, in a shallow basin of water
and rub the sharply : cleansed and
smarting cheeks softly twice, using
three fingers each time. When any
thing more was wanted he understood
il to be the application of vinegar"
an aromatic aud piquant fluid, which
makes a distinct impression on the
skin just reapcd. That young man
could never be induced to dress the
