CARE OF STOCK.

AS the season is now al hand, after
the unusually open weather, when the
utmost care must be taken uf all live
stock Il include all animal life on the
farm), the prudent farmer will not trust
his cattle aud horses to the care OF II
chore boy or person who has no capital
invested, and who cares nothing for the
wcll-bcing Of the animals under his
charge.
How many of lis have seen the miscr-
able condition of the farm yards OF a
certain class of farmers, who from sick
ness or other cause are unable to person
ally attend to their stock during the
winter. Doors off their hinges, shovcls
and forks broken, manure almost block
ing up the entrance to stables and every
thing having Il most terrible look to one
accustomed to order and punctuality.
If Il farmer is too idle or too ill to at
tend to the barn yard himself, and can
not afford proper hand to do so, he
should not keep any live stock during
the winter. 1t is inhuman to leave poor
animals dependent on boys or chorc men

they will not do it, and the result is Sc

Provide good, dry quarters for the

Hay for horses ought to be of the best
quality: it should never be ovcrripc
Equal parts by weight of corn and
oats ground together make a good grain
ration for COW.
As no two animals are alike, it is wise
to consult their special appetites and de-
sires when feeding them.
Bc sure that there are no cracks or
knot holes in the hcn-housc through
which the cold winds can whistle

1t is Il waste of cash product to feed

The small potatoes that are so little

They make the best kind of material for

INTERESTING CULLINGS.


II ell0 M001C00O ma0oOl00m,
Ghastly ard grinning skulls were
there, adorned in crowns of gold.
Dark and parchment dried faces were
seen, with their golden hair, rich as
ever, and twisted with gems and
golden nets. The cardinals wore still
their miters and red cloaks and splendid
rings. On the breast of Cardinal Car
los (son of Ferdinand y was a beauti-
full cross of white enamel, with the ef-
figv Of Christ in black and surrounded
with emeralds, and on his hand a rich
sapphire ring.
On that Of Cardinal Leopold, the
son Of Cosimo II, over the purple
planeta was q cross of amethysts and
on his finger jacinth, set in enamel.
The dried bones of Vittoria della Ro-
we're Montefeltro were draped by a
dress of black silk of beautiful texture,
trimmed with black and white lace.
with great golden medal on her
breast, and the portrait of her as she
was in life, lying on one side and her
emblems on the other; while all that
remained of herself were few bones.
Anna Louisa, the Electress Palatine
of the Rhine, daughter of Cosimo III,
lay there, almost q skeleton, robed in
q rich violet velvet. with the electoral
crown surmounting q black CHASTITY
face of parchment, medal Of gold,
with her efRgy and name on one side
and on her breast q crucifix of silver;
while Francisco Maria, her uncle, lay
beside her, a mass Of putrid robes and
rags.
Cosimo l and COsimo II had been
stripped by profane hands of all their
jewels and insignia, and SO had Elean-
ora Toledo and Maria Christina and
many others to the number of twenty.
The two bodies which were found
in the best preservation were those of
the Grand Duchess Giovanni d'Aus-
tria the wife of Francisco /, and
their daughter Anna. Corruption
had scarcely touched them, and they
lay there, fresh in color as If they had
just died. The mother, in her red
satin, trimmed with lace, her red silk
stockings and high heeled shoes, the
earrings hanging from her ears, and
her blonde hair as fresh as ever, and
equally well preserved was the body of
the daughter-the color of their faces
scarcely changed
And SO, centuries after they had
been laid there, the truth became evil
dent of the rumor that ran through
Florence at the time of their death
that they had died of poison. The ar
senic which had taken from them
their life had preserved their bodies.
Giovanni dele Bande Mere was also
there-the bones scattered and loose
within his iron armor and his rusted
helmet with the visor down. And
this is what was left of the great Me-
dici.-Blackwood's Magazine.

The Warmest Winter Yet.

The three sO-callcd winter months
We're the warmest for 40 years, aud
they will furnish cause for reflection
on the part Of the meteorologists for
some time to come. Various unsatis-
factory theories have been advanced to
account for the unusual barometrical
pressures, to which are closely allied
changes of temperature. A continued
high barometer off the coast and chang
es of pressure favorable to an indraught
of the heated airs of the gulf stream
and warmer ATTITUDES are now held to
be the principal causes of the abnor-
nal weather, which even the repetition
of u March blizzard cannot now re-
duce TO the average of even ordinarily
warm winters.
Judging from the previous records,
the assumption might be made that
warm winters occur every 10 years,
although the figures do not quite carry
this out for every decade. Yet 1880
was comparatively warm season. the
average being 81 degrees for the 3
months; 1S59-60 was the exception.
which, it may be said, proves the rule.
as that year showed weather that below
the 40 years average, the thermometer
showing 27.9l degrees. However. in
lS69-70 the records again go above the
average, with 305 degrees. In l819-8O
the winter, with the exception of the
40 years, the temperature being 4.95
degrees, or about degrees below that
of the last three months.

All work and no play will make Jack dull boy;
