Thoughts for the Month.

Alexander Stephens, one Of the wisest Geor-
gians. said that no farmer should be per-
mtted to keep any kind Of stock which he
would not shelter during the cold and bitter
months of the year. January, with its chilly,
driving winds and rains, is always trying
upon young cattle and older ones that are
thin in flesh The farmer should provide
specially comfortable quarters for these, II
he cannot conveniently house all the dumb
brutes of the place. 1t is not only humanity
but. in protecting cattle from the rough
weather, there Is economy in the highest de
gree. Cattle that are housed and sheltered
always require less food to keep them fat
and comfortable through the winter. And
not only this. but there is great saving in
manures when the cattle are housed and well
bedded Reliable estimates show that the
manure annually saved from COW. alone
kept properly housed each night in the year
is really Of more intrinsic value on a farm,
than ten G~lars' worth of commercial fertili.
zerS II costs but little to make shelter for
the cattle on the farm January is q good
time to look after the work. If 1t has not
already received the necessary attention.
