The sweat from horses working or hotlv driven eats into the best leather fast 'enough, but for that poorly tanned it is almost immediately destructive.

A very slight covering will preserve tho plants. The main point to be observed is to havo the plants shaded, thereby preventing tho alternate freezing and thawing during the winter months. It is not so much the low temperature that injures these half-hardy roses as the sudden and fre quent changes which occur when the plants are fully exposed to the sun aud wind in winter. In the spring the plants should be pruned and all dead and in jured wood cut away, for it is upon the new shoots of the season that the flowers are prouuccit, and not on the old wood. 2ieto l'ori Sun. CACSR OF STRINGY MILK. Btringy milk, thought to be caused by dry feeding and the want of sufficient water, is really due to somo inflammatory condition of the cow. Tho feeding of plants and animals is alike in this, that tho food digested or utilized depends for quantity upon the amount of water sup plied and by which it can be dissolved or diluted. If a cow is stinted in water the whole system becomes disturbed and an inflammatory condition is set up which disturbs every vital organ, and especially the udder. Fibrins "is a product of in flammation, and when this appears in the milk it forms stringy clots, which are ejected from the teats with difficulty. It is not that the milk is too thick be cause of a deficiency of water in it. If the system is short of water the milk will decrease in quantity in even ratio. But whenever the animal is diseased in nnv way the milk glands in sympathy lecome diseased, and necessarily the character ot "Thortjulk is changed. SiUlicicnt nud pure water is necessary for the health of the cow. When the health suffers from this cause the milk becomes impure, be cause iu disease every secretion of the system is diseased, and at this season the 1 water supply cnlls for more than usual attention.

In both cases tho object must be to get as large a growth of stalk as possible. The larger the stalk is the richer and sweeter k be comes. If there is room and light this sweetness is changed to the Btsrch of the grain. But as fodder corn Is always own or drilled more thickly than that for grain, if the season is unfavorable it is injured all the more by tho presence of weeds. Fodder corn that does not tassel is scarcely worth harvesting, as cows will only eat it when forced to do so by hunger, and then fall off in flesh or milk on such a diet. Tho planted corn that can bo cultivated nt least one way never utterly fails, as fodder corn often does when tho gpason is not favoruble. If good for nothing else, it makes splendid foddeF, and sometimes better than that from which ripened ears have been taken. In growing fodder corn it is best to have a largo weight in few stalks rather than in many, so if we could grow the Mima weight per acre by sowing broadcast we would still prefer to drill far enough apart to run a cultivator be tween the rows. In most seasons, how ever, the large weight will bo iu the ; corn that has been cultivated and has grown largt enough to produce incipient ears. Cuuricr-Jvurnal. f FAEM AND OARDEK NOTE.

Mares used to warm stables cannot be turned loose on rocky hills in a cold and storm and thrive; nor can they produce the colts they should and would under care. It if not fiction but sobor fact that western farmers sometimes moved their stables rather than haul out the manure. Those farmers now haul out all tho manuro they can. When you have tho stables all ready for winter use, a good coat of whitewash will add to their freshness as well ai looks. Add a bit of glue to the wash and it will Btick better.

If the farmer would give the same at tention to his poultry that be does to his horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, they would succeed equally as well on .equal capital expended, or more properly, invested. Provide light substantial buildings, good food, keep houses and yards clean and neat, and shut out vermin and there should be success in nearly every in stance. SELECT SIFTIXGS.

Among primitive peoples all nuiinnls are supposed to bo endowed with souls, which iu ninny cases have formerly ani mated liuiiiun beings. Hence a likeness is often recognized between an animal nud some deceased fricud, nud the animal is uddressed us the person would have been, and honored with a kind of worship. Many tribes call themselves by the name of and even derive their pedi gree from some animal. Its cries be come the omens of the tribe, nnd thus originate the ilivinution and nugury of more civilixed nations. In the imxVern world the most civilized people among whom iinimul worship vigorously survives lie within the range of Biiilimiiiism.
