Muckiadvice is given regarding the sheltering of stock in \cold weather, and such advice_ is usually followe by -farmers taking, every , precaution possible to prevent suffering among the stock which has been kept over for wintering. But, unfortunately, on some farms the work is performed too well, and that which is a benefit and a blessing in winter Is quite ob jectionable in "summer. Wodiseuss and take measures to properly venti late our _dwelling's because -we know it is uniafe 'to risk our health and lives in places that are not at times exposed to the circulation of the air and the entering of the sun's rays. As we thus care for nurselves, how important it is for us also to be' care ful with our_ stock if we wish tto be successful, for they are helpless and dependent. ; As winter 'approaches barns 'and stable are. made as near ", air-proof" "as they can be. Most of them have a small window, at least, which is in aufflelent for purposes of ventilation, and is but seldom used, for fear of Cold draughts. As the frost seals up all that is injurious to the animal in the cold season, no objection can be made to the farmer endeavoring to make his stock comfortable, but how is it in summer? Once a stable has been put in complete order, it seldom receives a second repair. - until the second _ winter. Dpring the warm monthA stock suffeis very much for want of ventilation, and a window or two will not answer. Stables are al -ways in a condition of impurity, ,be as careful as we may. The strictest cleanliness possible will_ not avail 'without sunlight and a free circula tion of air. Nearly all the diseases of the eyes of horses are occasioned by ammonia gas in stables, and one half of. the lameness of horses is causedthe strong alkaline sub stances u ual to stalls. The beat in stables is gg very oppressive—more so than-in dkrelling houses—and hence cattle and horses become debilitated and unhealthy.'' Stables are securely locked at night, and every Precaution taken against thieves, which' is a part of the routine in simmer as well as in winter, but if - the 'doors were left open at night, and the animals allow ed perfect freedom, farmers could for themselves notice that horses and cows would all sleep out of doors, even if the weather was not very , favorable. _ • . With sheep, soi necessary is pure air to them ,that fatmers would not think of confining them for a single night. -He gives them a shelter open on one side in winter as well as sum mer; and. hogs; receive pure air on account of the Structure of their pens. But horses and cattle are unnecessa rily deprived . of free air . 4 . --nol, inten tionally, for they reccived.more care than the sheep and hogs—'sirriPly be cause an:old-time custom has ordain. ed that . one window,:small in size and barred across with rods, Will ventilate a barn or stable. Poultry, also, suffer from confinement in close. quartets. It does not ' matter how. much. range may 'be alllowed them (luring the day, the precautions taken to guard against weasels and other depredators that close •them-at.night sometimes proves disastroris. On in vestigating the cause of chicken chol era ?have never had any difficulty iu tracing it to crowded quarters and impure air. Hog cholera can' we its origin to thelsaure cause, and many forms of . distemper in cattle are ,known. to have been caused by-lack of ; free circulation in ,the , stables, even when they appeared to be - clean othetwise. It is A. subject 'worthy the consideration of farmers. ,for stock.sbould be as carefully and ten— derly provided for in summer as dur lug the,cold months of January, Feb nary and March. • J. Horrie,Amusement. Many very pretty little chemical experiments may bemade ,; by the sun young people,. which will use.and astonish those around them. As, for instance,a with so'simple an article as red cabbage, a very beautiful effect can be rendered in the following man ner : Cut three leaves of cabbage into small pieces, and after placing them ilia I.4sin pour a pint of boiling water - over them, letting them stand an hour; then pour off the liquid into_a,decanter. - It will =be of fine blue color. Then take four wine glasses, into one, put six drops of strongi 'vnegar; into another, six drops of sOution of= - soda; into a third, the same quantity of a strong solution of alum : and let the fourth remain, empty\ Fill up the glasses from the decanter, and the liquid poured into the glass containing the acid will quickly become a beautiful 1 red ; that in the glass containing the 'soda will\be a fine green ; that pour ed into the empty one will remain unchanged. By tuldinia little vine gar to the green, it will ibbnediately change to red; and on adding a little of solution of soda to the red it , will assume a fine greeri-thus showing the action-=of acids and alkalies on vegetable blues. Light. for 'Horsis.- The horse, although - it looks straight forward ,much more' than moat animals, yet does _ not do so nearly as much as man, and therefore requires in )his habitation an arrange inent of tight different from that'in its owner's dwellings. Give the horse the light from onside only and it will direct only one of its eves to it, but the other , eye will be in the shade ; this inequality weakens both eyes. Put it in such a position-that . it looks into the dark, which is certainly un natural, when taken out of the stable the, abrupt change from dark ness to light will harm it. To place it straight against the light gives the latter a blinding effect which is also injurious to the eyes. The horse sta. - ble should therefore always receive light from abOve, either through sky lights or through windows placed near the ceiling in the wall to which the animal's head is turned as he stands in the stall. Moreover the stable should be always bright— bright is daylight; for the hope is not . a night or twilight animal, and is in no need of an artificial darkness, like fattening stook. • I Points in a Pig.

No doubt sufficient interest has been 'awakened- in the syetein of ensi lage to cause the building and tilling of hundreds and perhaps , thousands of silos the coming season through out the United States. Up to the present time only about half a hun dred, courageous and enterprising farmers have made the practical test of the value of this system upon their own, premises, yet the unanimity of sentiment regarding its permanent value seems quite remarkable and augurs well for the future. The grand army of farmer's will await the expe rience to be gained by the pioneers of progress during the next twelve months. Up to the present:time lit tle knowledge concerning ensilage has been:added to the facts made known by hi. Auguste Goftirt,-of France. The evidence adduced thus far in this'country has a bec simply corroborative and, to no small de gree, cumulative, yet little varied in its .character—a fact which is cer tainly favorable to the importance of the system. It .would seem impossible that all the advocates of the cosi; lage, including mang_who leive given: it practical test and-many who are' careful observers, Sound reasoners and good farmers, can be mistaken' in - this matter. if even 'half is true that is claimed for ensilagr, then its generalifzidoption must s ork a n ( plete - revolution in the pro - 11:c,Lion of milk, butter, cheese, beel . *;:aa t on and poultry, especially in •• Eastern States... It may be well t - ,se ,into careful consideration. thl rt,voltition thus to be effected in' ew England 'agriculture, and the change to be - wrought uprin the supply and demand of farm products. Only a few years ago' farmers were astonished. to learn of the results of the soiling system, of the possibility of keeping a cow on the - product of one or two acres; yet. this is insignificant as compared with the,opportunities . offered by ensilage of feeding. ten cows for Six winter and Spring - months upon the produce -. of two. acres of land. Even the fac-.- tory operative in the suburban tricts - can • afford. to have an acre of.• tatia if:he may kccp'his two cows on half an acre, have his garden on the other half, and revel in pure •tnilk ant. "'June butter" the year round. Let us draw a picture: Irthe silos to, be ! built • this year prove as suc•,.. &seta as, thOse erected and filled ' - last kear, in future ilie farmer who doesn't. practic• - : • e_nsilage will be the exeeptiOn. - consequence the fodder crops'of the country will _be doubled, meaning, of 'course, 100. per cent. .increase in _dairy produets, meat, roots andother farm produce:,. Our loeal markets . arc to-day' over-. stocked, for instance, with the article of Milk; hence ensilage must reduce the .number of milk farmers-one-half, unless the reduced cost vastly in creases the consumption. Our mark eta are. fully supplied with butter, cheese, mutton and beef. Double Vie_ supply., and one of several events must folloW Low cost-may increase con - suMption, • or stimulate emigration from . sections- where - food is dear ; else the farmer must change his pro ducts.Or compete in foreign markets . with the agrictilturists of other coun tries., Other,nations, notably France and - Germany, understand the system of ensilage as well or perhaps better than our people; hence the results of their' silos' will meet us in the foreign markets of the world, and produce a material! decline in all the corrimcxll ties which go to sustain life. Con sumers all over •the world will hail with delight cheap food and cheap Cottonseed Meal • Cottonseed meal has been growing in favOr, for, the production of milk since its introduction: For quite - a: number of years it was regarded with more or less suspicion anti prejudice, and it generally understood to be, dangerous to the health of cows to be 'fed • except in very small quantities • but-experience ItaS proved that. it, is less likelY to produce garget in cows than Indian meal, and equidly good or bettCr for the production of milk' and , bUtter. Cottonseed meal has a -decided valtie above that' of Indian meal in the manure Produced from feeding it. By carefully-Conducted analyses it has been shown that tlic• fertilizing quality contained in.•the mantire produced from -one ton of cottonseed meal when compared with the cost of the same Amount - of e'hent-; ical, fertilizers in - the market is worth $27.50, while the meal itself is worth only from $25 to $27. If che,mistry is correct there is great advantage in - -feeding it, as' the manure produced is worth more than the meal costs, - And it, is , certainly very valuable in prcw dueing milk and bkter., The value •pf manure from one-ton of In:lian meal is,,; according to the same au- Wortkaboutthe 8:1114, as that front 'best English hay, which is about ;so that-it Will be seen .that there is' a leeided advantage in feeding cottonseed; meal over that of Indian meal.— MdsrsacittfsOls I'lollo, E:== • DELICIOUS PINEAPPLE CUSI4I6 : - , ,•-• 9n the -day before you wish to mie -, the custard, peel and pick to pia.* with two forks - a nice pineapple.
