To gather the leaves from the valuable woodland where they constitute the only fertilizer, is a blunder Examine the harness for weak spots before starting out. The horses generally feel good in cold weather, and try the harness severely. A "bacon rind" will help the axe in splitting hard wood as much as did the saw in sawing it, anil a little of that same on the axe helve will give a better grip. A fifty cent thermometer in thc cow stable may save a man fifty dollars' worth of feed, gain him fifty dollars' worth of extra butter, and teach him five hun-J drcd dollars' worth-of cow sense all in a single winter. This finger board points straight to thc note you will sure ly have to pay if you sign any order, agreement, contract, ac knowledgement, receipt, or any other paper for a stranger. If so situated that you can not raise lambs for the first early markets, have them come after thc grass has started, and thc weather is warm, and put them on the early winter market at eight or nine months old. Ewes carry lambs five months. Where's the sense in com paring warm water w ith a hole in a froen overrun a hundred yards from thc stable for the cows drink ing ? No man with gumption, not to say humanity, lets his cows drink in such a place. Dairy and M.kA. Is everything snug and warm ? A good breeding sow is a good investment. More clover hay, more colts, more (odder com, more cows. Do not winter licks on tr.e sheep, nor worms in thediorscs. He is a w ise farmer who puts his surplus marcs to breeding." A colt six months old will do well if fed good hay, and one quart of this ration: one part oil meal, one part oats, and two parts of bran. colt a year old or older, should have twice or three times as much, according to size. The cast is slowly warming up to an appreciation of draft horses. Thc idea is to go slower, take bigger loads and last longer. Thc nervous trotting horse goes' all to pieces when hitched to heavy loads. A walking gait saves both nerve and mysclc. It is thc economical gait."
