Americas Natives.

This description OF the natives as
they appeared to the English colonists
In Maryland was written In 1868:
They are very proper tall men OF
person; swarthy by nature but much
more by art; painting themselves with
colours in oyle, like darke red, which
they doe to keep the gnatts off. AS for
their faces they have other colours al
times, as blew from the nose upward,
and red downeward; sometimes con-
trariwise, in CRATE varietie and in very
gastly manner. They have no boards
till they come to be very old, and there
fore drawe from each side of their
mouthe, lines to their cares, to repre-
sent beard.
Their apparel generally is deere
skyns, and some furre, which they wear
like loose mantels; yet under this,
about their middel, all women and men,
at mans estayte, were rounde aprons
OF skyns, which keeps them decently
covered, so that, without any offence to
chast eyes, we may converse with them.
All the rest Of their bodys are naked,
and at times some OF the youngest sort
OF both men and women have just moth
ing to cover them. The natural witt Of
this nation is very quicke and will con-

Farmers and Fertilizers.

There are truths IN connection
with farming that are known and
have been expressed many times, and
yet are OF a character that require
repeating over and over and over
again, so as to keep them constantly
before the minds of farmers One OF
these Is a want OF knowledge OF the
requirements Of the farm as relates
to the application of fertilizers Most
of the States provide through their
experiment. stations for the deter
mination OF the fertilizing value OF
the various compounds that arc
thrown upon the market, and so far
as this goes is OF service and a protec-
tion against undiscoverable frauds
that might otherwise be practIced
upon the farmers. But with all
this, are they exercising as great care
as they should in the selection of the
goods they use? The requirements of
the soil should be fairly well uuder-

Is another point that ought also to
be considered, that variQns fertiliz-
ing elements exist IN very different
forms which present very different
commercial values as we'll as fertiliz-
ing values 1t Is important then
that the farmer should become suffi-

Winter Dairying.

With proper facilities, there can be
no question but that winter dairyine
pays better than summer. The COW
must be kept over anyhow, and the
additional feed required for the pro.
duction of flow of milk is nearly all
returned in dairy product. With the
right kind Of feed, the right kind OF
cows it being assumed are already
secured, it is easy to turn out choice
article Of butter at season when it
is scarce and commands high price.
Besides there is not the press OF work
in winter that there is in summer.
ana the cow goes dry at season
when it cosJs least to keep her.
Another point in favor of winter dali
rying is urged with great force. The
well-kept cow that has given milk
through the winter is wonderfully
stimulated In her milk flow when she
comes to grass, and her milking period
is prolonged. The Increased flow for
the year Is valuable consideration. -

To KEEP sheep healthy they require

need good supply of water.
CARE should be taken to clean out

sheep that show the least improve
ment. aaR

prices.
NEVER allow sheep TO be fright

A SHEEP kept thrifty will shear a
heavier and better fleece than one

In commencing to feed grain to
sheep, feed small quantity at first
and gradually increase.
TIE farmer that is too carelss to
give sheep good care will do better
with some other class of stock.
SHEEP OF different ages and condi-
tions should besortcd into different
lots and the weaker ones have a little

A Blanket OF Snow.

A winter covering of snow for the
fields, grass, or grain, Is extremely
beneficial, preventing deep freezing
of the soil, keeping the plants and
their roots at an almost uniform
temperature, and the almost daily
freezing and thawing that occurs on
land not thus protected. The cover
ing Of snow should be made as uniform
as possible by placing branches of ever
green's or any other obstruction about
the open spaces in fields and especially
upon the knobs and other elevations
where the wind sweeps away the
fallen snow. These distractions need
not be placed in position until the
ground Is frozen solid. when other
farm work is not pressing, and should
there be an open winter the protec-
ton afforded by the distractions
alone will amply repay the labor and
expense,
