Skill nml pnicticc are Bcedcsi to
I tnkv out tlic intcstincß neatly, without
rutting or breaking tiiem and aoiling
the lleali. Run the knife lightly down
marking the belly atraight, cut to the
bone between the tliiglm, and in fror.t
of tlie riba and below, and aplit the
n :ir bonea with an axe carefully, not
to cut beyond lliem ; <i|K'n tlie alMb>-

The fingers, rightly used, will do
most of the severing. .Small strong
j strings, eut in proper lengths, should
be always at band to quickly tie the
severed ends of any small intestines
cut or broken by chance. Ancx|>ert
will catch the entire ollal in a lurgc
tin pan or wooden vessel, holding it
bclHit n himself and the hog. I'n
skilled operators, and those opening
very large hogs, need an assistant to
hold this. The entrail, and then the
liver, heart, etc., lazing all removedll
thoroughly rinse out any blood or
tilth that may have escaped inside. !
Spread the cut edges apart by insert
ing a short stick lietween them toad

drippings is over, or the hanging
posts are wanted for other carcasses,
remove the dressed ones, and hang
tlu ni in a cool cellar or other safe J
place untill the whole llesh is thor j
oughly cooled through. ')r if. for 1
convenience and easier ork, the car" i
cnascß are cut up Itefore cooling, let j
all the pieces lie apart for at leal half
a day. Removing the lard from the

Pre paring for Spring in tho Garden, j
Wherever a < rop is taken ofl.it
will Is- great gain to manure and ,
plow or spade the Isnd, leaving it 1
rough during the winter. All such j
wotk a* making paths, laying drains ;
etc, is more advantageously done!
now than when the pr*-ss of spring i
work is at hand. If new frames are 1
needed, or st'aw mats, or crates for
marketing produce, or garden tables
aic requred ; if implements are to be
made, repaired or Knight— whatever
can IK- done in the present months—
will save much value bit* time in the
spring. Now. and nil through the
winter, add every thing to the msnurc
pile that will decompose and increase
its bulk and value. Among the pre
parations for spring is the pricking
out into cold frames, the cabbage,
cauliflower and lettuce plants from
neds. It ia important to act the
plants of cabbage and cauliflower
d iwn to the first leaf, so that the
stein, the |Mirlion moat readily injur
*l by freezing, may be covered. The
sashes should not be put over the
nlants until there is danger of severe
freezing weather. Other frames should
IM- made ready for very early lettuce.
I lie soil is to lie spaded and enriched
and made ready for planting, and the
frames then filled up with leaves. If
there are shutters at hand to cover
them, all the better. Earth is often
wanted for hot-beds, seed boxes, etc.,
at a time when the ground is still
frozen. Lay in a guod supply of
fine, rich soil, under a shed, or where
it can he bad when needed.
T ICR supposition that the introduc
tion of farm machinery would cause
a displacement of farm laborers has 1
not leen born out by the facta, ss at '
no period has there been a greater
demand for human labor than at the |
present. harm hands are always I
, scarce In some sections. I
Tho Caro of Fowls.
Poultry keeping is much better
adapted to women than the milking 1
of cows, which many of them still do ?
though not as many as formerly. The 1
care of chickens is especially in their 1
line, and many a woman would suc
ceed with poultry who now finds it 1
hard to live by some branch of sew- 1
ing, or what is about as bad, trying
to teach music or write poetry for
magazines. Care and patience, united
witli natural tact, would bring a
handsome reward in many cases.
1 he only sure cure for egg eating
js the axe. Rut to keep fowls from
acquiring the habit, feed them plenty
ol cheap meat, and such as comes
from the table. 'I hey rarely acquire
the habit if constantly at large, un
less in winter, when insects are gone.
Rut in confinement, with no variety
to eat and nothing to do, they both
I learn to eat eggs and to peek each
Other for blood and flesh. I ced rm at, ■
j scraps, crushed Ismes, grease, mar"
row. anything coming from animals
or birds that they like. Arid they
don't mind chicken imat, either.
Ihe study of poultry diseases is
not as important as that of animals,
liecause a sick fowl is usually very
small, and the time required for prop
er treatment is often worth more than
the bird itself. The aim should be to
keep the flock in health, which usuul
iy is not at all difficult.
Early chickens arc easily raised in
a warm, dry barn cellar, where then
is plenty of lermenling manure to
scratch over. Have an opening on
the south side, with plenty of light,
and then if the place is rat proof, as
| it should l>e, they will do better than
, out of doors in July, when it is too
■ hot and lice abound.
It lakes more skill to succeed with
fowls when kept up most of the time,
than when at large, because, when at
large they help themselves to many
things that arc important to a variety I
i l or instance, there is grass, which
I many think not necessary. Rut fowL
| eat a great deal of grass in a year.
and when confined even on a iod tin V
' will soon eat oil and kill out a con
j sidcrable area. When this happens

Hrecding From Grade Sire-.'*
If a pure blood male can U- ob

a single season - n rviec would rcim

Weil l<! not be wi-e to breed from a
I grade. \\ c admit that it is quite
! possible fur a grade to get Utter
j progeny than some pure bloods. It
i sometimes happens that a half blood
ha Iwsn so strongly impressed by
I the prepotent blood of its sire that
its vital force is entirely controlled
by it. and it, in turn, impresses upon
its progeny wholly pure blocs 1 chat*

Rut the progeny of many grade
sires seem to take to the scrub side
of the blood : and it is this unccr ;
tainty that we would have breeders
provide against, and, therefore, ad vise
pure-blood sires in all cases where
they can he purchased at ||oo to iL'flft
This can now lie done, and, in many
cases, by tisking calves of a few
months old, among the the three or |
four most widely distributed breeds
of cattle—Short horn, Hereford, Jer
sey, and Holstein—they may lie se
cured for even less.
A prepotent half blood may, possi
bly, become the foundation atock for
a new strain of blood, even superior
to its sire, for, by the beat selection,
the sujierior element is constanlly
strengthned and concentrated, until
it wholly ejects from the progeny the
scrub blood, and it becomes a posi
live working unit force ; then it can
set up as a distinct strain of blood,
able to stamp its impress indelibly
upon its offspring. This is breeding
toward the best—merit being the
foundation. Rut the general breeder
is not skilled in such selections, and
would make a bad job of it. He
should, therefore, always get pure
blood, if within his reach, and this
will seldom require selection, but give '
him a valuable grade of stodk with 1

If there is a large accumulation of

Trees should be pruned regularly,

an occasional treatment. They should

Parsnips, salsify. and horseradish are
not injured by hard freezing; all

and a sufficient supply of the hardy
kinds should also lie taken up. If
the cellar is not warm, a supply for
tbe present use may lie kept io boxes
or barrels, and covered with earth to
prevent shivering.
A whiter says thai a year's ex
perience with broad wagon wheels is
conclusive as to their value. A•
inch tire will carry two tons over sofl
ground with greater ease to the team
than a inch tire will carry one ton.
The wheels are not so much strained
by stones and rough tracks on the
road, and the road is not cut up, but,
on the contrary, is packed and keeps
smooth.
SiiKI.TRR roa Swixk.— ]f kept dry

considerably less food, than when ex

saved from various diseases and oc

Thus, those who take good care of
their swine, art net only treating
them with a humanity which ia highly
commendable, but tfiey add, thereby,
an extra profit in rearing and fatten
