FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Mots about work. —_o— Lambs, and yearlings woes that are not to be bred from, may be put together and kept serrate from the other sheep. If any of the flocks have the scours, a table spoonful of a mixture of prepared chalk and peppermint in water sbouid be giv en once a day. Costiveness is quickly remedied by a little linseed oil•cake meal. Fat hogs should be finished n' 'as fast as possible. Those intended for home use should be finished upon dry shelled corn, witu pare water only for drink.— This will produce firm hard pork. Store hogs will t.o bes• u ion cooked food, and in place of corn, boiled potatoes mid bran will make excellent feed. Buckwheat is too heating food for pigs, and should be avoided. Brood sows may Lave the' com pane of the boar, if pigs are wanted In March. The increased value of the first litt.er of p;gs will pay for a pure bred boar. Nothing is more certain than that it pays to breed only from pure blooded males of whatever kind or breed they may be. But blood will not stand in place of feed. Brooded pigs are most profitable and thrive best where there is a full corn crib. Riot craps and potatoes should be stored In dry pits, in preference to cellars beneath the house. Ventilation should not be neglec ed ; wisps of straw should be placed in the tops of the pits every six Feet apart, for this purpose. If any are still in the ground, they should be harvested without delay. A good sub stantial and permanent root house, hr a convenient place, will be found valuable. Repairing roads should not be put off any lat,r: Every farm should have a per. toaretit road through the center, which should be kept in good repair. Road masers should see that mudholes and bad spots in the roads are filled with broken stone. Mending roads with earth at any season is waste labor. There Attalla be a Biake's stone crusher at every country mill where toad material can be procured. One year's use %timid pay for it. In nothing are we so behind the time as in the condition of ourcouutry roads. Upon st ritly days triter. will be found plenty of oocopatNot in repairing harness, cleaning and putting away fouls, work ing in the carpenter's shop. repairing grain bugs, etc. Such work is recreation. As this is the season for selling pouhry, let there be a good supply kept for home use, and those which are kept for breed ing should he well cared for, so tn•tt they may lay ..arty. The poultry house should be kept clean and well whitewashed, if it has no', been already done. Keep the plow running in the cote stabbles u the eround is frozen. The long winter evenings should be devoted to study and domestic entertainment; in which the younger sho,ild be joined by the older ones. There ate few things which will more readily make farm life agreeable to children, than the pleasant evenings hich may - be spent in a farm house, with books, papers, toys, and games, in which the old folks renew their youth, again.— It is the want cf this companionship which makes country life so generally dull and uninviting to young people.— Agricullurist. Facts For Farmers If you invest morey to tools, and then leave them expos. d ,tu the weather, it is the same as loaning money to a spend thrift without security—a dead loss in both cases. if you invest money in books and nev er read them, it is the same as putting your money in a bank, but never draw ing either principal or interest. If you invest money in fine stock, and do not feed and protect them and prop erly care fer them, it is the same as dressing your wife in silk, to do kitchen work with. If you invest your money in choice fruits and do ^ot guard and give thorn a chance to grow and prove their value, it is the same as putting a good 'hand into the field with poor tools to work with. If you invest your money in a good farm and not cultivate it well; it is the same as marrying a good wife and so abusing and enslaving her as to crush her energies and brake her heart, If you invest your money in a fine house and not cultivate your mind and caste so as to adorn it with intelligence and refinment, it is as if you were to wear broadcloth and a silk hat to the If you invest your money in fine clothes and do not wear them with dignity and ease. it is the same as if a plowman were to sit at a jewelers table to make and ad just hair-springs, If you invest your money in strong drink, it is the same as turning hungry hogs into a growing cornfield—rnin will follow in both cases. If you invest your money in every new wonder that flaming circulars proclaims it is the same as buying tickets at a lot- tery office, where there are ten blanks to one prize. if von invest your money in the last novel, it is the aame as employing a bail• ors dandy to dig your potatoes• Mon for Horrekeepers --o-- A saddle put on lonely, with a stack girth, is very irritating to a horse, and soon produces a sore back. A harries kept soft and pliable with good neatafoot oil will last almost a life. time. I. is stronger, because slightly elastic and will seldom wear off the hair. A horse left uncovered when.not in ex ercise will soon grow a heavy coat of comae hair. This becomes a !linden:ince to rapid motion, and should be prevented by judicious blanketing. Your horse's shoes will hold no longer if the clinches are not weakened by the file in finishing. Insist that the file does not touch the end of the nail where turn ed over. Some horses hare a habit of stepping on one side of their feet, perhaps to avoid pressure on a hidden c .rn. That part of the shoe exposed to severe wear should be:protected with steel. .All carriage shafts of right construct= ion should allow the body of the animal perfect freedom. and only touch at the well padded saddle, and full collar. An over reaching horse—one whose hind feet are frequently bitting the foi ward shoes—should wear heavy shoes for ward and light.ones behind. The theory Is, thaf the_heavier hoof will be thrown a little farther ahead at each step than the lighter one. Wonder is the d&ughter of ignorance. Minotlamions. The Doubt Dispelled. . Wm.
