A ¥ ARM NOTES, WINTER CARE OF Cows -—The ar- rangement of the barn and yard should 1e such as to reduce the labor as much us possible. Excessive warmth is not conducive to robustness health or profit, 1£ a man’s house is kept closed up and heated with stoves to a temperature of eighty degrees, and his food and drink are all taken hot with a view to pre- venting the effects of the cold and to sure more comfort, the dwellers in that house will become sick or diseased; the impure air will polson the blood; the warmth will relax the skin, dry it and open the pores, and the slightest draft will cause a fit of shivering ard induce colds. It is in precisely such houses that sore throats, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and other diseases are so frequent, while in the house where the windows are thrown open to the breezes, and the cold, brisk, pure air is welcomed, and exercise and health give warmth, fed by the abundant oxygen of the fresh air coursing through the bloed, there are health and vigor and comfort. It is the same in the dairy. I’lenro-phenmonia invades those herds which are kept in close, warm, unwhole- some stables, and the dreaded tuber- >ulosis finde there its prey; while from the wide airy stable, well ventilated and filled with pure cold alr, the well fed cows will emerge to frolic in the snow, and enjoy themselves in the Lright sun- shine and the crisp air, when the ther- mometer marks down nearly to zero. Except in stormy weather, the cows should spend at Jeast three or four tours every day in the yard, pieking some rough exercise, soil wiih the manure, balf, it should Le drawn around the plants so as to cover the stems to the same height as formerly, but no higher.

The cover should be like a pillow slip, slightly larger, and long enough to tie at one end with a satin ribbon. This end is then fringed for an inch, Soft India silk, either plain or flowered, is an appropriate covering. Ir plain, work some appropriate motto on it in etching stitch, such as “Give me of thy balm, O fir,” Rose leat bags are made in the same manner. Square sofa pillows, covered with satin or silk, with a strip of white linen over them, are new and serviceable, Only the part exposed by the linen need be of satin or silk, the rest may be of muslin of auy color, The strip of hnen should have a hem an inch wile, which may be hemstilched or not, according to the time you have to spend in fancy pillow with a heavy silk cord, white, or of any contrasting color.
