Volume 32. e tarm and Xionotludd. Winter on the Farm. It is difficult to suggest niaeh thhtiie new in the operations of the farm for these opening months of the year. The labors of the season are simple and not so exacting asat'some other times. Th6 - e is the stock in the bats that is now es pecially dependant on our care, and its thrift and prosperity hang chiefly upon judicious and liberal management. We can stint in food, we can neglect to give it minute care and attention to promote its comfort and growth, but the reedit it ill inevitably affect our pockets sooner or later. There is nothing to be gained by neglect, and self interest ought to lead unto give it our earnest thought and study. Cattle not unfreqnently suffer in wip ter for want of water, They are turned out per l haps twice a day, and left but long enough to help themselves if they would. But unless let out immediately after a full feeding of dry food they will not always incline to drink at first, and the owner gets impatient and will hot wait- They are tied up again and cotii pill, dl to wit till towards night perhaps before they are let oat again. They may then drink too freely of extremely cold water often to be got only by breaking through the ice. This is a bad way to do but it is by no means uncommon, It is the fault of the feeding. If they are red properly there is little difficulty in induc ing them to drink. It. is a great convon knee to have water brought into some %rarin place in the barn cellar, where' it (1.1,..s not freeze over, and where stock can have ease access to it. . We do not believe it itra good planito keep animals exposed to the cold storms In the yard through our long winter ddys can stand a considerable degree of cold without much suffering, to be stare, hut many farmers leave them out. in all weathers, often when if they could have the r choice they would very quickly seek shelter in the barn. But we would not ou the other hand, keep them too warm. That is, perhaps, about as objectionable as to err in the other direction. Our New England barns are not, as a general rifle, open to this objection. They are in too many cases too open and cold, though now and then, there is a tight and poorly ventilated stable that is an exception..— For feed at this season, we like to have some roots, especially Swedes and ruta bagas. They make a very palatable change from dry hay. Cattle relish them too, and we believe in humoring the appetite it little. Maugolds are better to feed out later, sae after the first of March. The marigold' keeps improving in quality, it is said, till the spring. It is quite important .at this time of the year to provide a sufficient supply of warm bedding for stock, and the "arts" and coarse h.iy and straw that are reject ed by the cattle may be used for this pin. pose. At other and warmer seasons sand -makes a vtry clean and useful litter and we like to use it freely, but it, does riot impart that warmth that is needed; -in extreme cold weather. Leaves that were collected in the fall are excellent for this purpose, and they have the advantage that they are not so full of weed-seed as the coarse hay from the mangers. It we :;11,1 plenty of leaves we would nethern fr,elv for bedding now. They mak& dap .:,if manure also, and if any farmer neg ted to store up a lot of them it was a mistake that ought to be borne in mind to correct next year. After attending to int- chores about the barn and the Wood— hilr there will still be some leisure time to .lev.ite to readine and study. Education al later is the greet want of our times, especially in this country. We need all the light we can get to farm profitably in a severe elimate and a som, what sterile exhausted soil. Now it would be perhaps ungracious to intimate that farm labor in New .I,lngland is not as educated and intelligent as that in any portion of the civilized world. Certainly it ought to he with our boasted system of common schools. But somehow or other., the practical results when compared 'with those obtained in England is not only in telligent but we know it is profitable, for the-tenant farmer even can and does af— ford to pay from five to tweaty•five dol lars per acre, annnal rent, and neceisity compels him to bring the highest degree of intelligence to bear upon the farming operations. If we should admit, there fore, that it does not pay to be a farmer here, we must admit the want of greater intelligence in the management and the development of our lands, for certainly tin-same intelligence ought to p'ay better than in England, on account of the un- I, incrons markets by which we are. sur rounded and which are as easily accessi ble, and the lower price which the owner ship of land involves. We eau =see no n-al reason why farming, with the same intelligence, should not pay as well hete as in England. Sex to .Eggs. A correspondent of the London Jour.- hal of Virticulture, refernng to. this fluestion;says: Last Whiter an old country poultry keeper told me he could distinguish the scx in eggs. I laughed at him, and ws,s none the less skeptical when he told me I) the following secret : "Eggs with t e air bladder on the centre ofths egg wi I productgockerels ; those with the bla - der on one side will produce prillets."+ The old man was so - certain of the truth of his dogma, and his poultry yard so tiir confirmed it, that I determined to inake experiments upon it this year. I have done so, carefully registering every egg A ‘bladder vertical" or "bladder '-on 'one Side," rejecting every one in which it was not decidedly one or the other, as if onlY very slightly out of theroentre. The fol lowing is the result ; fifty-eight chickeap were hatched, three are dead, eleven are vet too young to decide upon - their-seas of the forty-four, every one has turned out exactly true to the old man's This of course, may be an accidental cbincidence, but I shall certainly try tht experiment apin. A poultry keeper in Westchester coun ty, N. Y., sends a local paper an account of the results of some experiments in this direction, as follows: "Last summer I hatched 121-chictil troai cage selected on tido principle; 119 of which were ellets. 1 always ,select ega of medium-size, believing them to be the best fur the purose. .1 then get a large lamp ( kerosene ) ,apd take sung in my right hand, betweed the ltitkostr and the two forefingers, big end' irriPer% most, and hold it as sear the light as pos sible ; then lay the little finger of tUe left baud across the middle or the egg; Thili will throw the light it the egg then turd it around slowly and you will perceive dark spot the size of a three cent piece directly in . the centre of the largeend - or on one aide. As I raise poultry for eggs and for Market, I of course set only . ego for pullets, with a few for cockerelito place cocks of JastA?ear. The 122 eggs Which were hatched all had the air bubble on one tide;and were expected to hatch nething _but. pulletS uud outyone half per cent did fail• to hatch pullets. • - EZEI;== piocellantous.

There's management for you A Covington man died and they put him on ice; but he•awoke in the night and yelled out,'Why didn't you put some more wood that stove ?' The Boston Transcript says of a recent operatic performance : 'The ladies, the baritone, and the bass were good, and so were the tenor's intentions.' That farmer understood human nature who said: 'II you want to keep your boy at home, don't bear too hard on the grind stone when he turns the crank.' He who is wise now buyeth his girl's little brother something nice, and so get. teth the little rascal to make himself scarce whenever necessary hereafter. A Rochester, N. H.,man recently made a fever some practical use to the world.— He took thirteen eggs to bed with him and hatched nine chickens from them ; at least, so they say. They have a new test for intoxication in Canada. Ville!) a man can pronounce 'reciprocity' without tripping, he is writ— ten down sober ; lint 'sip em prossumtv' is a tital pronunciation. Washington Irving once alluded to a man of superior pompossity as 'a great man, and, in his own estimation, a man of great weight. When he goes to the West he thinks the East tips up.' John Frode is no more. You probably don't know him. He lived in Western Missouri, and on entering the smoke house of a friend to see how the hams got along, a trap-gun blew his head off. • Mr. Tardy, of Alabama, kept a shoot ing appointment yesterday,with Mr. B.D.

A good many people were recently de— luded into going into an apothecary's shop in a village on the Hudson, to see a red bat which, had been captured and was on exhibition. They saw it and it was as red as a brickbat usually is. Julia Ward Howe says that the finan- cial incompetence of 'me* in general is becoming everyday more evident to the world at large: • It is especially evident in the morning, when their wives haye gone through their pockets over night." When John Doom, of Kansas, took the napkins from the hotel table and wip ed his feet on them, and then kicked the stove over and threw the chairs around, they decided that the only way to quiet him was to lodge some buckshot under his ear. A lad who borrowed a dictionary to read returned it after be got through,with the remark : 'lt was werry nice reading, but it somehow changed the subject wer ry often: It was his sister that thought the first ice cream she tasted was a little touched with the frost. The Chinese have names which corres pond in frequency with the Browns and Smith's of Anglo-Saxon Chitstiantlom.— Those most frequently occurring are Ching, Cbang,Wang and Shih, which are the equivalants of gold, long, prince, and stone.

Walker's California Vinegar Bitters ere a .purely Vegetable preparation. made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal pro perties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question Is almost daily asked, " What is the cause of the unparalleled &mess of VINEGAR B/T -=as? " Oar answer is, that they remove th e cane of diapsw, arid the patient recov em his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualifies of VINEGAR Birrass in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or In flammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. • If men will enjoy good health, let them use Vp;roAn Brrrana 'as a medicine, end avoid the use of alcoholic stimulants in every form. No Person C4lll take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Grateful Thousands v proc_n ta INSOLE BrrrEns the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. Bilious, Remittent, and Intermit tent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of oar great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mis sissippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Bra zos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah,lioanoke,James,and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and An tumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual beat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dn. J. WALszs's VLNY.EIAIi BrrrEus, as •- - they will speedily remove the dark-colored viscid matter with which the bowels are _ loaded, at the same time stitardathrg the secretions of the liver,and generally restor ing the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bil ions Attacks,Palpitation of the Beart,lnflam mation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Scroftila,or Evil, White Swel lings, Ulcers, Erysipelas Swelled Neck, Goitre, twrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Tulluumations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc., etc. In these, as in all other constitu tioal Diseases, Weix.rui's VLVEGAIt Brazils have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate awl intractable cases. 1313E51:13 •••- • - - - For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. —Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To gaard against this, take a dose of WeLmEn's VDT. EGAD Enrols occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pus tales, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scarfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin,Tape, and other Worms, lurk ing iu he system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed- No sys tem of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthel mantles, will free the system from. worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wom anhood or the tarn of life, these Tonic Bit ters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Jaundice.—ln - all cases of jaundice, rest assured that your liver is not doing its work. The only sensible treatment is to promote the secretion of the bile and favor its ro moval. For this purpose use VINEII6II Brr =BS. • Cleanst the Vitiated Blood when ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eniptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. _.....000 $8.000,000 450.000 300.000 $85.003,00 0 $4,500.000 B.
