WINTER STlRLTEn OF LIVE STOCK. It should bo apparent to every thinking man that food serves as fuel in the auimal body, just as much as wood or coal serves as fuel beneath the boiler of tho engine. E;ich is an ngont creating force, writes a profes sor at Purdue University, Lafayetto, lnd. ir tuo boiler is surrounded by a thick layer of ice, it will requiro much moro fnel to crcato a certain number oT pounds of steam, than it will if it is situated in a temperate at mosphere. Uy tho satuo logic, if an animal is turned out iuto tho intense cold of winter, it will require more lood to keep up animal warmth and energy, than it would if tho body were kept in a warm stable. Any person who has carefully stud ied tho care of live stock realizes the truth of this. Consequently, tho best stockmen givo their animals suitable protection from winter cold. It is, however, to be greatly regretted that many owners of live stock turn their animals out in all sorts of weather. I have seen milch cows on bleak hill sides when the thermometer registered below zero, and the air was especially cutting. A rido of 250 milos across country, on a bleak winter's day, will show hundreds of cattle in cornfields or pastures when they ought to be in the stable. It is to be regretted that so few persons rcahzo the real loss in curred by such exposure. (Joe winter 1 purchased for the In diana Experiment Station six milch cows for experimental work. They were divided into two lots of three each. On lot wns given the shelter of tbe stable, while the other was kept out of doors during the day, in all kinds of weather, although sheltered in the stable nt night. For seven weeks this treatment was maintained. At the end of this period it was found that tho sheltered lot had given 1C1 pounds more of milk thau the unsheltered, had eaten less graia food to produce this milk, and had gained in weight over 20U pounds, while the unshel tered ones had lost in weight. As the sheltered cows had shown a financial gaiu of about $12 in tho aggregate, over the others, in increased flow of milk, cost of keep and increase in woight, it certainly paid to shelter them. Other experiments, especially with pigs, have bhowu the wisdom of giv ing reasouablo shelter during the win ter. In every case that comes to my memory, pork was produced at a less cost per pound where tho pigs were sheltered than where unsheltered. Tbe question of shelter, howovcr, should not be taken to an extreme It is essential for good health that stable have proper ventilation and sanitary conveniences. A stable filled with cattle soon becomes contaminated with impure i ir unless proper ventilation is provided, ibis should be secured so as to produce no direct draft upon the animal body. Plenty of sweet, pure air is most important. The writer has been in stables where the air was warm in winter, but it was also foul to an injurious extent. Had the air been a little cooler aud sweeter it would have been all tho better for tho cattle. A winter temperature of fifty do grces iu the stable may be safely recommended. It is not desirable tj go above or much below this. Owners of live stock can give fairly good protection to their stock at small expeuse by the use of straw, old boards or leave?, for wardinj oil the cold winds and rain. It is to be hoped our stockmen will gradually see the folly of turning their btock out into tho fields in winter, excepting for a brief uiriug, uu 1 will improve in their methods of winter keeping. It cer tainly will pay to give proper atten tion to this subject, if it will pay to keep the stock at all. New York In dependent. The I'uiVs Niii'lt Ceireuary.

KCIENTTFfC DISB WASIHNrJ, Many housekeepers spend half a lifetime at the work before they learn that there is nn easy, scientific, me chanical and cleanly way to wash dishes. It is not an uncommon thins, if one can get a peep into the average kitchen during this operation, to sou a pau of water, not very warm, but very greasy, with particles of food floating on tho top of it, and a pile of dishes covered with bits and soraps standing ready for a bath in this not very in viting liquid. The scientific dish washer either scrapes off or rinses off all loose par ticles from her dishes before she puts them into the water. She begins with the largest plates, putting them into tho pan first, then adding them by sizes until the pan Is full. Cups and other articles are placed around, then over all is poured hot soapsuds, not boiling hot, but quite as warm as the hands can be put iuto comfortably. The cups and sauces are, of course, the cleanest things. These are washed find, and by the time she has reached tho plates that may be greasy, they are warmed through and are cleaned with much more ease than as though they were suddenly put into the water nnd washed off. At this stage it is a good plan to put into the water, in addition to Boap, a teaspoonful of washing soda, which should bo kept in a convenient vessel over tho sink. It takes eoaroely moro thin half of the time to wash dishes in this way. Ono good housekeeper has a dish pan almost doublo the usual sizo.
