When the sun is shining, every small bush is hung with dfa- mond drops. There are sparkling aisles of steel stemmed trees and the rarest device of mortal builder could not equal this wiuter palace. Trees that were once covered with vines and leaves are now hung with crystal icicles and when the wind blows the crushing ice can be heard through the forest. Though the woods are beauti- full in summer, we all have to admit that there is peculiar charm about them in winter that we cannot help liking.

THE WOODS IN WINTER.

The woods in winter are bleakest when there is no snow on the ground. Then the cold north winter wind makes the boughs groan and rustic along the echoin,g pines. The hunter, who spends both night and day in the woods, knows something of the stern solitude of the lonely forest in winter. Then no birds call or sing, no bees hum; he sees only the tracks of anil mals and now and then catches a glimpse of solitary partridge or rab- bit. As soon as the snow falls, the woods are transfigured into palaces,
 and the noontide penetrates even the depths of the darkest parts. At dusk of evening the departing gleam of the sun shows the trees looming up like stately sentinels. There are banks of snow heaped up in deep white silence, and the moons rays throw fantastic shadows on the snow and now land then discloses to view track of fox

A Winning Text.

When the Duke of Ormond whose
family name was Butler was going to
take possession as lord lieutenant of
Ireland, he was driven. by storm on
to the Isle of Man, where Rev. Mr.
Joseph. a poor curate, entertained him
as Hospitality as his means permitted
On his departure the duke promised to
provide for him as soon as he became
viceroy The curate waited many
months in vain and at last went over
to Dublin to remind his grace of his
promise. Despairing of gaining access
to the duke, he obtained permission to
preach at the cathedral. The lord lieu
tenant and his court were at the
church, but none of them remembered
their humble host till he pronounced
his text, which, it must be acl1nowl-
edged, was well chosen, yet did NOT
the chief butler remember Joseph. but
forgot him." The preacher was at once
invited to the castle and a good living
provided for him.

In the yeGr 1910 the most wonderful
automaton that has ever been con-
structed was exhibited at Exeter ex-
change London. This automatic Won
der represented country gentleman
house, and was of such intricate and
elaborate construction that no one dis
puted the claim of the exhibitor when
he declared that he had worked twenty
seven years in perfecting it. 1t showed
the regulation English country house,
with parks, gardens, cascades, temples,
bridges, etc, besides over 100 appro-
priately clad human figures in the gar
dens, on the bridges chopping wood
and at various building operations. In
the park were several deer moving
naturally about and four horses and a
coach following the meandering road.
Besides the above the figures of boys
were seen fishing from the bridges,
while a boat load of ladies and gentle
men regularly rowed across an en-
1argement in the brook much to the
CONSERVATION of the natural looking
figures of geese and ducks which were
padding about in the water. The
whole of these animate and inanimate
figures were inclosed in a space only
four and one-half feet square.

A Foolish Prejudice.

The average dairy farmer has his
share of unfounded prejudices, and if
they are unfounded then they are fool
ish, says Hoard's Dairyman. One of
these prejudices, which stands like a
veil between his eyes and the truth, is
that which relates to pure bred dairy
cattle A great many farmers are
breeding their herds down instead of
up because of this prejudice. Any man
who uses a grade bull shows that
prejudice, and is breeding his heifers
and future COWS down
If these men would study this breed
ing question, if they would obtain by
reading the ideas and opinions of the
best posted breeders, if they would re-
feet for moment how all develop
ment in an upward direction has been
obtained, they would cast this prejudice
aside and use only pure bred males.

The Thehan Sphinx.

The Theban sphinx was said to be a
monster sent by Juno to lay waste the
country around Thebes. 1t had the
head and bust of woman, the body
of dog, the wings of a bird, the paws
of a lion and human voice. 1t at
once became the terror of the neighbor-
hood and devoured all who could not
solve the riddle which it propOunded,
"What animal walks on four legs in
the morning, two at noon and three at
night?' Oedipus, attracted by the
promise of King Creon of his crown
and his sister in marriage, came to
Thebes and declared that man goes on
all tours in infancy, erect on two legs
when upgrown and supports the in
frlnities of age with a staff. On hear
ing this correct solution the sphinx
dashed her head against wall, and
the land had rest.

In an address before the Minnesota
Dairy association l. A. Sweet gave his
methods for making his dairy cows
average him $6S per head per year.
Summarizing Mr. Sweets address, we
have the following central thoughts:
Breed or buy a good class of dairy
cows.
Provide good, warm, we'll ventilated
stables for winter, with plenty OF the
right kind Of feed
Feed regularly and abundantly. but
not more than necessary.
Milk speedily, but gently, never NAL
treating or exciting the COW in any
way.
Make pets of your COWS, and treat
them gently and kindly at all times.
Never expose them to cold in winter
don't let them run in the yard any
day that is so cold you cannot work
out with bare hands.
Warm their water in winter
Provide plenty of good bedding, with
a drop behind the cows to hold the ami
mai refuse, SO the cow will be kept alb
sOlutely clean at all times.
Never let the COW out around the
straWstac1s and in the cornfeld to fill
up on an article of food that will not
produce milk. Let the dry COW and
the young cattle pick on this.
Give her uniform feed and care
don't turn out one day, keep in the
next, turn into the field the next, and
SO on That will make her uneasy and
will dry ner off-she dislikes changes.

A Scientist on silage.

1t has been determined that one
cubic foot Of hay in the NOW contains
about 4.3 pounds of dry matter and
that cubic foot of silage in thirty
six foot silo contains about SO pounds
of dry matter. From this it is evident
that a cubic foot Of space in a silo Of
proper depth will hold more than twice
as much dry matter as the correspond
ing space i'll NOW 1t is also true that
on the average a larger amount of di-
gestible feed can be obtained from an
acre in the form of silage than in any
other way at like expense Making

While pure breeds are to be adyocat-
ed, as a general principle, yet it is a
fact that the intelligent farmer OF to-
day can make very rapid progress by
selecting COWS according to what they
can do.
Some of our best dairymen, who milk
over 100 COWS each, do not confine
themselves to any particular breed, but
buy COWS absolutely on their merits.
The result is that they have obtained
many long and deep mixers which
give milk producing large percentage
of butter fat.
These very good COWS can frequently
be picked up at $40 or $50 per head,
while aspure bred COW of the same ca
pacity would cost from 500 to 5000
