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

fact: "A Western railroad permitted an iu

against tho company. His drinking was
supposed to be an aid Iu the settlement of

by the doctors there that there was no help

rule People. This friend, nnon his return

Weaver had tried so inanv different medi
cines that ho felt It would lie a wnstn of
money, but as thero is always hope whllo
t'aere is life, determined to give "Fink rills"
a trial. He did so. and was astonished to
find before he had taken ouebox that he was
better. This was In Jtne, 18!4.that h com
menced taking them. Ho was still skeptical
nnd carefully watched himself, thinking that
tho relief would only be temporary. Tha
improvement waa apparently permanent
nut he again commenced taking them, and
before another box was Rous ha was able to
walk and also to do light work, which he
had never hoped to do again. Ho has taken
altogether only ten boxes.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
COOD WAT TO CLEAN BOTTLES.
The housekeeper should know that
a good way to clean bottles ia to take
a number of pieces of soft paper, roll
each ot thorn longtliwiso and put them
into tne bottle with come good not
suds. Lot stand until the paper is
thoroughly moistened. Then shtiti
well for a few moments and tho bottle
will be thoroughly clean. In empty
ing tho bottle, care should be taken
not to hold it over a bottler's tray or
wash basin, as the paper would
probably cause a stoppage. A little
Louse sand putnn hot suds and shaken
woll will clean bottles effectively.

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. Ie
it every dish is put silver and all
then the hot water is poured on,
largo quantity be,ng usod, and this is
really an economy in time and
strength, prcvideJ" water is plenty. As
fo? greany dish water, good house
keepers should never have it. An
abundance of hot water, good soap, a
little soda and dishes properly scraped
off before beginning are all thut is
rcqttirod. Dish cloths are among the
neglected items ia kitchen economy.
As a rule, it takes a good deal of nerve
to touch iho averago dishe'oth. It
should bo one of tlio first lessons
taught to the young housekeeper thut
her dibh cloths should be immaculate.
"I never hang my dish cloths up until
they are so clean that I could uso them
as napkins, were it necessary," was
the instruction of a noted teacher of
household science. It pays to take
time to put tho dish pan, kitchen sink
and cooking utensils in excellent or
der. If seuso uud bo la are used, but
little additional time is required, uu i
tho satisfaction of it is ample coiiipc J
