Most of this can be obviated by hrst striking the animal a blow on the head with a light, long-handled sledge damuier. This produces stupor, and dciith is painless. Another way is to drop the open side of a long, narrow box down over the'animal,and then f urii box and hog upside down, when the knife can do its work, and box be righted again, and he can bleed out standing. But whatever the way, the slaughter should bo done with least possible pain to the victim and to the sensibilities of humankind.

Sometimes manure is used with the idea that it will heat, and thus furnish warmth to what it covers. Heallv it is i not si pood as earth, because, coaisc ! manure is really more porous.

A straw or cornstalk hank against a pit or cellar is excellent if covered with earth to keep a space of air that does not- mhve next the article to bo protected. But if the earth shows 'signs of freezing dry, as it probably wilt, a few barrels of water thrown on it during the coldest, weather will freeze into a sheet, and effectually prevent the ingress of cold air.?American Cultivator.

As a food for horses, unless cut and moistened, it is not at all desirable. But it is excellent for cows, when fed in connection with other coarse food.

If you are engaged in winter dairying try to sell direct to consumers. Chickens are as apt. to catch ci>lds in ' windy weather as en rainy days. Heavy feeding of fowls just before killing is detrimental to quality. Don't fodder stock on the ground when it is so easy to provide racks.

The nervous, excitable cow that forgets her work ' under excitement is the one that is more likely to "get left." Those who have used green wood undi-stand how wasteful its moisture is of the heat obtained. Wet coal is just as objections >lo, except for the fact that the heat, i! gives in burning is so much ! than the waste is not noticed. The | wood-shed or coal bin should, therefore, 1 bo not only covered, but protected so thai it may not be wet by snow drifted upon it. Copperas, or sulphate of iron, as it is : called, is recommended as a remedy for , parasites in the lungs and intestines ot ( lambs. It is fed with tine salt. The copperas should he finely pulverized and j mixed in the proportion of one part of j copperas to ten or twelve of salt. This ; mixture should he kept in troughs or boxes in the pasture, where the flock can have access to it at all times. Two parts of flour of sulphur added to the mixture will improve it, as the sulphur will have a tendency to free the flock from ticks. Ileiiornting Old Clothing.

There are certainly some total abstainers among our honorable Senators and Representatives, but it ib feared that they are in a minority.

Mrs. Sal lie Joy White lias contributed a very interesting series of articles 10 lYfrfeA u'ah-r, on "Cooking in the Public Schools," Jthe conclusion of which is given in a recent number. Referring to results realized from the experiment in Boston, she says: "If you could see into sonie of tlio homos, and know what amount of comfort has coine to them since the girls have learned how to cook well, you would be soon convinced that there is a moral as well as a practical side to the matter. At least one man has been led to give up his practice of going daily to (lie saloon at eleven o'clock, for the drink of whisky to "set him up," Ivy the nice cup of chocolate and tho corn-cake which his little daughter gives liim for breakfast, in place of the sloppy tea and dry baker's bread which he used to have.
