Soft warm food in the morning, vegetables and cracked grain during the day, and whole corn at night, is good for a steady cold weather diet. If you are running incubators and brooders, be very careful of fire. There is more danger in cold than in mild weather, since it is necessary to have the flame higher. , Kuth Brown keeps the hatching eggs in a basket wrapped in a flannel, and the basket in the closet in the sitting-room. 6he is very careful^ to gather them before they become chilled.

Very likely you have put too much glass in that house intended for early chickens. If so, cover it with old carpet or shutters at night. Glass is warm when the sun shines, but very cold at other times. Hens that are expected to hatch this month or next, should be fed freely on corn. But this will do no good if they have not l>ecn laying for two months past Be sure your fowls get gravel and water, and some substitute for the grass and insects tliat abouud in the summer. If your fowls are roupy or otherwise unhealthy, don't breed from them. You had better buy eggs or get a new stock of fowls.?Farm Journal. The Value of Trees. Mr. Milo Barnard, whose home is near Kankakee. Iil., in itn address before the Northern Iilinois Horticultural society, covering a large experience during the last twenty-live years in planting trees for wind-breaks, groves and for other protection, concludes as follows: My timber has for several years furnished firewood for three families, as well as poles, stakes and posts in abundanee! the manles of all kinds have pro vided delicious syrup, the walnut trees have yielded nuts, and all have given ehade from the burning sun and shelter from the blasts of winter, both to mnn and beast. ThejJ protection to the garden from cold, spring winds is one great advantage. As I never had a fruit tree girdled by rabbbits and little damage done by insects, except the coddling moth and curculio, I think the groves of forest timber are entitled to a part of the credit, at least, for this immunity from damage, by providing a good harbor and food for the rabbits, as they eat the tender twigs of the forest trees (doing no harm if they do not cut the leader), and they have no occasion or desire to gnaw apple trees in open ground. The birds find their natural resting place among the branches and so increase that they keep most kinds oi insects in cfiecK. iuy forest tree planting has been to me entirely satisfactory, taken as a whole. It has transformed an open, bleak, windswept prairie into an attractive, sheltering, cozy, home-like farm, where the melody of the song-bird blends harmoniously with the evening zephyr as it goes whispering through the pines. Skilful Cultivation. Skilful cultivation should be the aim of every one who raises plants and crops. To make gardening and farming prontable, it is necessary to have something in return for every stroke that is made, and for every dollar invested. Even when only a few house plants are cared for, we expect to see growth and bloom in repay for our care, if not, our interest in them would soon be lost. We devote an acre of land to a certain crop; it costs for the season the interest for a year on the investment made for it, beside the expense of preparation, manuring, cultivating, harvesting, marketing, etc. Our crop is but half what it might be, or what good cultivation has proved might be obtained. The time and expense of preparation, of sowing, and of cultivation hnvc been as much as for a full crop, and the cost of harvesting and other expenses but little less; but apart of the land was too wet, and the planting could not be done early, as it should have been, and on the same account the manure that was applied, though there was not half enough of that, could only produce partial effects, and so, from these combined causes, we get back for our season's arnrV. nrrhans. the expenses and a little more. The interest and expense were fifty dollars on the acre, and our returns, all told, amounted to sixty dollars, giving a profit of ten dollars. At this rate per acre on the whole place, with what it provides for the table beside, with great economy, one may, perhaps, live along for a while, and the lana is growing poorer, and the value of the first investment is lowered?the place is running down. But at a little more expense in preparation, perhaps ten dollars on the acre, enough to insure the best result, making the whole sixty, instead of fifty dollars, as before, and the crop is twice as crreiit. and nerhaus further enhanced ? O" ~?7 tr x in value by its superior quality. All of this success, then, is profit?sixty dollars or more, instead of ten?an amount that makes prosperity and success, instead of failure.? Viclcs Magazine. Farm and Garden Notes. Old cream makes streaked butter. Destroy the nests of caterpillars now. There are many pit-falls in a peach orchard. Cut off sappy shoots from the main branches of apple trees now. It is a good thing to make manure anil a good thing to save it. Be sure and do both. A rat-proof corn-bin may be made by lining the inside of an ordinary bin with No. 4 wire. Wo should look more to our gardens and orchards for our medicines, and less to our drug stores. A well-fed cow's "first impression," of hay are more reliable than the ordinary analysis of the chemists. Bank' up the manure yard so that the water on the outside cannot get in, and that on the inside ran not get out. Try new varieties of seed corn, but don't give up your own until you have proof that there is something better. A tree is not a post. The post requires a small hole una deep; tiie tree a oroaa hole well filled with rich, friable earth. Young horses don't need to be broken, but to be taught what you want them to do. Instead of breaking a horse train him. If the knives of the reaper and mowing machine are kept iu a box of slaked lime r will not rust. So with other bright tools.

The sod upon which this year's corn crop is to be planted, whether plowed or not, is a bet- * ter place for it. All seed should be of the best. Seed ! of doubtful quality is dear at any price. ^ A full, vigorous germ makes a strong j j plant and a shrunken or damaged one a ^ ! weak plant, if it makes any at all. j I It is worthy of note that sumach is the most valuable tanning plant known. f Large quantities were gathered in Vir- ^ ginia during the past season, and yielded handsome returns for the labor expended. t Grow a crop of peas in the old orchard t and let the pigs harvest it.

Whatever conduces E to the comfort, health, and contentment e of the cow promotes an increased flow of r j milk, and the reverse is just as true. t When cows gnaw boards give them g 1 charcoal mixed in the meal, and ground c bone. They should also have roots and a i: : sprinkle of wood ashes on them. We had b i two calves eat up a barrel in winter, but 1: | when summer came they ate no more r | wood. The stomach is disordered. Give r | them some sulphur also. Feed more 1 bran than meal. q The excessive feeding of hogs is less c common than it was twenty or thirty i years ago. Few people now* relish pork v made from hogs which have been fat- c : tened until blinded and only killed when f the animals were unable to walk to their L ; troughs and eat. Such masses of lard are t ! not healthful eating, while to most tastes p ! excessively fat pork is not palatable. j Hogs confined in pens crave carbon t in the shape of charcoal and bituminous n I coal, and ashes, or other substances con- " , taining alkali. This is especially notice- P j able when confined to an exclusively corn ! diet. When running at large, they eat n j rotten wood to correct the acidity of the c i stomach. It is not a bad plan to keep l: soft coal slack on hand where hogs can ? : have access to it. y Many farmers in places where their f land is swept by fierce winds find it prof- 1 i itable to plant apple trees in masses Large d i enough to make a windbreak on the side si I of the farm most exposed.

At a recent lecture delivered in Philat .

Commenting on Lieutenant Greely'a 1 liscovery of coal within the Arctic u irele in Greenland, Mr. W. Mattieu v Villiams expresses himself as dissatisfied b vith the prevailing notion which de- it nands a sub-tropical climate for the li ormation of carboniferous deposits. He i las himself described the deposition of I he coal that is in actual progress at the v (resent time in Norway, within four de- f [rees of the Arctic circle, and believes hat similar deposits may be found farther orth. No very violent alteration ol en- 0 late, therefore, need be assumed to e*- a lain the Greenland coal. v Scientific men have been perplexed for t lany years over the phenomenon of a s ertain well at Yakutsk, Siberia.

Like 11 localities in Northeastern Pennsylvania, that neighborhood has suffered j greatly the past winter by the raids of j oxes on the poultry yards of the far- j aers. Bunnell's flock of chickens had j teen reduced to one hen, although traps J nd all sorts of d^ices had been tried to j oil the raids of the foxes. A short time 1 go Bunnell t went to a neighbor's to oin mm in a iox nunc wnioa nau oeen , nade up for that day, taking his dog < rith him. He had been gone but a few 1 uinutes when a big fox came into the loor yard, where the last member of Bunnell's flock of poultry was feeding, , nd chased her past Mrs. Bunnell, who ras boiling soap at the back of the . louse, and into the house through the ipen kitchen door. Mrs. Bunnell ran after the fox, carry- , ng a clothes pounder as a weapon. The i icn ran upstairs and into a bedroom, and tid under a bed. The fox followed, and vhen Mrs. Bunnell reached the top of ( he stairs the fox was.coming out of the >edroom with the lien fluntr over his boulder. Mrs. Bunnell struck at him J vith the clolics ])ounder, and the fox re- j reated into the bedroom and went under he bed, where he leisurely proceeded to tiake his breakfast of! the hen. Mrs. Bunnell made him a prisoner by closing he door, and then ran to the neighbors, caching there before her husband nnd he rest had started away on the hunt. She told the story of the hen and the ox, and the hunters returned with Mrs. Bunnell to have some sport with Reylard. When they arrived at Buunell's hey found that the fox had jumped hrough a window pane in the room and scaped. Big tufts of hair were fast to he jagged edges of the broken glass, ,nd a trail of blood leading away from flip fox had landed in the snow howed that lie had not got away with whole skin. The trail was followed our miles. Then the fox took refuge in , crevice in some rocks. He was routed ut, and the dons soon killed him. 7 O A South African Sea Serpent.

Acording to the despatch a huge monster _ ,ras observed in Moorehead's bay, Urahili, by eight or nine people.

According to the account j unished by those who witnessed the t ight, the monster appeared to proceed c t the rate of about eight miles an hour, * occasionally plunging into the water, laking a noise as if a sea was breaking eavily on an open shore and causing 1( jam to extend about twenty yards on ? itlier side of it. It appeared to be about fteen or twenty feet out of the water, _ nd its whole length was computed at i ot less than ninety or a hundred feet.
