sheltsrlnr stock.

We do not think II has been fully
beat into tho minds OF a certain class
OF farmers.yet, that shelter 10 neces-
sary condition OF success In stock rails
Ing. But the thinking and progressive
farmer does not deny. but advocates
the necessity OF some sort OF shelter
for stock to protect them from the
storms OF winter and to save his feed.
For 1t Is we'll established fact that II
requires certain amount OF food TO
keep up the normal animal heat In a
horse. an OK. COW or any animal.
Now, II by reason OF lack OF shell
ter, more feed Ia necessary to keep up
this heat to normal temperature. 1t
is just that much feed wasted that
might have been saved II the animal
was sheltered. Many farmers make q
practice OF letting their stock stand
out all day In u driving rain or blind
ing snow storm, and their barns emp
ty OF all stock. Such practice is
ruinous; It is a drain on the farmers
income that he can In reality Ill az
ford. Even the ''south side OF a straw
stack" is very poor shelter; in fact as
n rule, 1t is the poorest kind OF shelter.
How often do we see cows and horses
crawling up close to stack, or by the
side OF building, or in fence cor
ner for what poor shelter 1t will afford
against the biting wintry blasts. Any
man that will permit such thing
ought to be put through the same pro-
cess himself; it would at least bring
him to his feelings II not TO his senses.
In experiments that have been made,
it has been proved that it has taken a
very much greater amount OF feed to
keep the Same stock In good condition
when not sheltered than when it was;
in some cases almost double the
amount. Any farmer had better keep
less stock and shelter 1t better than to
keep n great amount and half freeze 1t
to death.

Planting Trees From wood Lots.

In very many places young trees
from wood lots are planted out in
lawns and along roadsidos for orna-
ment Very rarely do they prove
satisfactory. Trees in woods are ten
der. because they have never been ex-
posed to storms, as trees in open
ground always are. Hence when ex-
posed to these new conditions they are
apt TO die. Another reason for their
failure isthat their roots rarely spread
to great distance. They. go down in
much the same shape as the tops OF
the trees 20 up. When exposed to
winds their tall, slender tops bend
over and prevent the roots from get
ting firm hold OF the soil. Cutting of
the tops to one or two buds partly
prevents this, but these trees are
never equal to forest seedlings grown
In nursery rows, whose side roots are
developed by frequent cultivation.
The price that these seedlings bring
is really cheaper than going to the
woods and selecting trees without
charge

Remedy for Burns.

A celebrated remedy for burns is
made as follows: Take fifteen ounces
OF the best white glue. break into
small bits and soak In quart Of water
until soft Then dissolve by means OF
water bath, and add two ounces of
glycerine and six drains OF carbolic
acid; continue the heat until thorough
ly dissolved. On cooling this hardens
to an elastic mass covered with shin
ing, parchment-like skin, and may be
kept for any length OF time. When
required for use 1t is placed for few
minutes in water bath until su fiji
GENTLY liquid, and applied by means
OF a broad brush. 1t forms in about
two minutes shining, smooth, Aexi-
BILE and nearly transparent skin. This
preparation costs but trifie, and is
easily kept at all times ready for use.
