NKW'H, FAITH ANI> HUOUKHTIONH. tin tint or rut NATIONAL W ALT ANK l Till INttlLI Every farmer in hit annual rrjierxeace Jtteovert tumething of value. Write it nail tern/ it to the ' k A <l ricultural Kititor of Ihr DKM'H HAT, JiclUfonte, I'enn'u," that other farmert amy have the benefit of it. I.et communication* be timety, and be tare that they are brief and well /minted. IT is a-wrong notion that cattle must be kept in a barnyard all day or a part of a day to get exercise. How much exercise will they take during the entire day '! .lust enough to get from one pile of fodder to another, or to find, if they can, a warm spot to stand on. If you do not believe this, watch a cow and see. Fasten cattle in the stable so they i can get up and down easily, and this is all the exercise they require. Now is the time to thin out poultry ; cull out all the hens over two years old, and keep no more cocks than are wanted for next season's use. The fact is that unless you have been more careful in breeding than farmers gen erally are, you lind ln-tter keep no cocks of your own raising, but send them all to the pot, and get an in fusion of new blood, of your favorite breed, by getting a well bred cock from some of the established and respectable breeders. TIIE forty-pound fat lamb costs less in food than any forty pounds of growth added afterwards, and inings about three prices |>er pound. Take pains to have the lambs come large and strong by feeding the ewes well now. This gives thein an excellent send ofr, and when they are once well started, proper care and plenty of feed, in addition to the milk of the irrlt fret rirr, w ill make them reach the forty or fifty pound mark at an as tonishingly early age. THERE is no crop raised which yields so large an amount of food and with sollttle labor as Indian corn, and it is none too early now to Isar in mind that much of the success of the next season's crop depends upon the thoroughness of all the prepara tions which are to Is- made for it. One of the most important malt* rs connected with the "getting ready" for the crop, is to IK? sure that your seed is good. Much of last year's corn crop in this county was husked and cribbed in a damp condition, and we very inucb fear that those who dejK-nd ujton getting this seed corn from the crib will sutfer disappoint ment when they watch daily for its "coming up." The severe cold of the last few weeks must have penetrat ed to the very "marrow" of corn in open cribs, and any tliat w as not thor oughly dry, is more than likely to have its germ destroyed by the frost. It will not Im- laltor lost to place s l>ox of good soil in a warm place and plant In it a numlier of grains of the corn you intend for seed. The nnm lcr which "come up," when compared with the number you plant, will give you a pretty correct Idea of what ; percentage of your spring planting you may expect to see germinate. As the wood supply of the country decreases, the amount of coal con sumed by the farmers rapidly in creases. Indeed It is rarely Hint we now find a farm house in which there is not at least one constantly burning coal fire. Most fanners arc well aware of the value of wood ashes ss n fer tiliser, but few place the proper esti mate upon those coming from the coal stove. Experience long since taught us that they have a decided manurial value, and that in addition to this, their mechanical effect upon the heavy clay aoiln which abound in our county is very happy. We coun sel all our farmer friends to carefully save all the coal ashes, so that in the spring they may lie applied to the land. In support of our own opinion we quote from the Husbandman a report of an experiment insde with coal ashes "applied at the rate of 200 bushels to 20 square rods, or 10 bushels to the square rod. The soil was compact and heavy. The ashes were drawn on late in the autumn and spread on the ground, which had been recently plowed. In the spring the plowing was completed, thor oughly mixing the ashes with the soil. The ground was planted with garden vegetables. The beneficial result was in the correction of the heavy character of the soil, the ashes acting mechanically and not as a manure, and producing a satisfactory improvement." Youngest Meat Most Profitable. f>#r <>f lti lluml New V"rk<-r. The youngest beef is the most pro fltahie; it is certainly the most palat able. The farmer who fats and slaughters a two-year-old steer or heifer has some choice, tender meat at the lowest possible cost. 1f he fed the steer till four years old the meat would cost bO per cent. more.

There was a man lived near Put nam, Mass., who hod a favorite dog. a Maltese cross cat and twenty-nine hens, with their natural guardians and consequent broods and accom panying enemies. Something nightly invaded this man's palatial hennery, sucked a few eggs and ate a tender weetling little chicken now and then. Tin? man investigates!. The robber was a terrible enemy of hencoops, the American P. <\, or the Arctic polar eat. The man carefully opened two or three eggs, he poisoned them with Paris green and strychnine and laid them on the floor of the hen house. At a late hour the next morning he gut up, and went to look at the dead p. e fpolaris catharlicus). The first thing he saw was a dead dog. his own favorite dog, midway between the house and hennery. He wept with grief and rage, and wondered who could have lieeu so mean and cruel. The next tiling lie saw in the Coroner's line was a dead .Maltese cross eat. He shuddered and said: "I can never tell my wiftr of this." Then he fom I two dead hens, and his heart misgave him. He went into the hennery and counted eleven more dead liens, ami then he knew that what the dog and cat couldn't eat the hens had finished. He picked up six hens that were just passing into the gloomy SIHMIC of the shades. And. while he gnashed his teeth and rehearsed little speeches to himself, he saw something with his nose, and, looking afar off on the sandy hillside, he heard the p. c. that lie hated creeping among the rocks to his soli tary lair like the south wind passing over a bank of fish, stealing and giv ing night-blooming serious. "Ah! thus," he said, "from childhood's hour my fondest hopes have passed away: the cake is dough, the milk is sour, a general flavor of decay comes willi the breeze from yonder lulls; O cup of sorrow's bitterest dregs! grim death the dog and Maltese kills, but spares the thing that sucked the eggs." Liquid Manure. One of the most successful garden ers we know of, uses liquid manure largely. He has a large tub, a dis carded whale-oil cask or sugar hogs head will do, holding several barrels, sunk partly in the earth, near the middle of his vegetable garden. He has a cheap trough, made by nailing two four-inch strips together in the sha|e of a V.to conduct the water from his sink s|K>ut into the tub, whenever it is needed. It is not far from the well, and extra water is run from the pump into the tub, whenever it is needed. Into this tub all the slops from the chambers are emptied during the summer. Another line of cheap troughs conducts the liquid manure to any desired part of the garden. With a long-handled dipper, he stands at the tub, and waters the growing vegetables and fruit tree*, as their wants demand. He always has fine fruits and vegetables. When a house stands several feet higher than the garden, the tub or vat for holding the liquid manure ran lie kept wholly above ground, and the water be drawn otr by a plug at the Ivoltom of the vat. This will save the labor of dipping. The results of using liquid manure upon growing vegetables are astonishing. If the ganlen is large and the wastes of the house are not sufficient, it is easy to increase its quantity by placing a few j>ounds of guano in the vat, and add ing water from the well or cistern. The water should have the lencflt of one day's sun, and be applied just at evening, or very early in the morn ing. TIIE following may lie accepted as an approximate to the average quan tities of milk given by the different breeds of cows : Natives produce an nually 1794 pounds; Jersey. 3820; Ayrshire, 4300 ; Holstcin, 45517. ASIIKS are, for many soils, a stand ard fertiliser. Places where a tree or brush heap has Itecn burned often show the effects of the manuring for years.

Keep away from the fire. Use snow if you can get it : if not, use the coldest possible water. Last winter our little boy of five years froze his feet while out coasting at considerable distance from the house. He cried ail the way home, ' and the case seemed pretty bad. 1 I brought a big panful of snow and put his feet into it, rubbing tbem with the snow, liut my hands could not stand the cold. 1 was alarmed to see hi in keep his feet in the snow so long, but lie could not bear them out of it. It was half an hour before he would take them out. and then the pain was all gone, and when I had wiped thein dry and rubbed them a little, he was entirely comfortable, put on his stockings and shoes, and went to play. He never afterwards had any trouble with his feet on account of this freezing. His sister got her feet extremely cold, anil put them at once to the fire. Her ease at first was not so bad as her brother s, hut the result was much worse. Her fi-et were very tender all winter, and she suffered from chilblains.

The "bricks without straw or clay" idea, is of wide aj.plication as to farm animals generally—to cows and bens making milk and eggs; to sheep making wool; to growing colts, calves, lambs, pigs, etc., making flesh and 1one: to working animals making muscle to supply the place of that used up by exertion of strength ; to all animals, human included, making fat to supply that used up constantly in keeping the body warm, especially in winter. All must have the raw materials to manufacture from, and among these water not ice cold, or nearly so. in full supply, is one of the indispensable elements—not the only one. A Word or Two for Stock Owner*. The IHSI cows are usually the thinnest ones and the largest caters. The warmer the stables are kept for animals the less food will they require. Winter and spring butter is often injured in flavor by allowing cows to eat the litter from horse stables. "Horn-all" is chiefly caused by poor blood and poor circulation, and cxjK.siire does more to produce this condition than anything else. TIIF. following graphic portraiture of a too common but eternally profit less treadmill experience is credited to "a well-known Illinois writer "1 he average \t estern farmer toils linrd, eaily and late, often depriving himself of needed rest and sleep—for what ? To raise corn. For what ? To feed hogs. For what? To get mgney with which to buy more land. For what? To raise more corn. For what' To feed more hogs. For what? To buy more land. And what does he want with more land ? \t hy, he wishes to raise more corn— to feed more hogs—to buy more land —to raise more corn—to" feed more hogs—and in this circle be moves un til the Almighty slops his hoggish proceedings." Here is a wonderful difference. Part of it is evidently due to the animal j itself, but without any doubt the 2,005-pound animal would have been more profitable a year earlier than at the end of 1,197 days. The enor mous weight of 3,125 pounds even is produced at a comparative loss, while the 11-year-old boasts had "cafcn their heads off" many years before. These were cows and, of course, may have paid their way as breeders, but It exemplifies the prin ciple thst two years a beef ani mal loses money.
