Another way is to drop the open side' of a long, narrow box down over the animal,nnd then turn box and hog upside down, when the knife can do its work, and box he righted again, and he can bleed out standing. But whatever the way, the slaughter , ehotild be done with least possible pain ! to the victim and to the sensibilities of] humankind.

Air at per- ' fect-'rvit in ->? ? of iho vary Uuat nonconductor*. and it is none the worse if ( protected behind a block of ice. Much | of the banking loves its effectiveness as | the season advances, because the materials of which it is composed di tout by the expansion of frost, and this admits j ( currents of outside air to the centre of j the heap, or whatever is to be protected, j s Sometimes manure is used with the idea j that it. will heat, and thus furnish t warmth to what it covers. Really it is j not si pood as earth, because coaisc ! manure is really more porous. The ; proper place for porosity is inside rather ' than outside. A straw or cornstalk bank against a pit or cellar is excellent if eov- ! erod with earth to keep a space of air ! v that does not move next the article to be ! protected. But if the earth shows "signs s of freezing dry, as it probably will, a few t barrels of water thrown on it during the v coldest, weather will frccAc into a sheet, . and effectually prevent the ingress of | cold air.?Amerimn Cultivator. (| FOODKK full, gfe'J^KT,. , Most barn doors are large and swing \ on hinges. It is dUUeujL.to open them I when the wind is hiisk; they are apt to s fly entirely open, aiy.l ..tfcic cold air rush- ] ing in makes the atmosphere inside frigid ' j as that on the outsidtf. .This chills the*' ;; animals, and, of course,, they require, the ,, more fodder to generate'' internal heat, j, As well might one keep the door closed and throw out a forkful of hay to the ^ tv;ind. t All outside lower barndoors should he hung on rollers' and there . ?... o i - - niviii'i it iMiiiiu '111 convenient jj places, and thru when a person is to pass ^ through the door can he pushed just far enough to allow hitn to pass.

Pieces of siding olT, loose l>oafds,.gapiug...cracks ,l and knotholes sometimes consume more '' teed than the animals. Shivering beasts " require more fodder (fuel) to keep warm-, \ ei and, however well fed, if they do not ^ shrink in flesh, they seldom gain, and | rows always shrink in milk in cold n weather. s< The proportion of increase in fodder rt that an animal will consume in a cold a stable to keep its warmth up is not : r known, but can be approximated by a j u si nple prtce-s.

CI.OVKR HAY FOI{ SWINM ANI> POn.TlST. Clover hay is a very valuable stock- ' food, when properly fed, hut it is objectionable for some kinds of stock. As a food for horses unless out and i loistened, it is not at all desirable. Ihif it is excellent for cows, when fed in connection I with other coarse food. I'nless pr iperly n< harvested and securely housed, clover- fo bay is likely to become musty an 1 unfit ' sh to be used. Many farmers seem to think of that well-cured clover-hay is valuable : Ti only tor imrxw, uaftle and sheep, vet it. mi can be used to good advantage n~ * i; W) lor both swine and poultry.

When m ^rcen foo<l is scarce, this method of n* feeding, once in a day or two, will be found to supply the fowls with the vegetable food so much desired in the win- m tcr, and a supply can generally be obtained from a neighboring fanner. Those who doubt that poultry will eat the ;l| clover hav should, during the winter, put * \ small supply of it in a convenient shal- ?' low box in the chicken house, and see how soon the birds will clean it up ami j in look for more. It can be dry and just as j it comes from the barn floor, and some poultry breeders feed it in this way. This 0, can be done when you are assured of a plentiful supply, nnd can so arrange the ^ feeling box as to prevent the fowls from ,,, scratching the hay or chall around and si wasting it. A still better method is to ??' wet the finely cut clover with mashed potatoes or meal and feed warm.?Ameri~ , can Agriculturist. I S | (I 1 in FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
