SToodumt do not always realize how mttch coojer the nights are now and. the cattle are left unprotected from cold and storms unitil titey show. the effects of this treatment by falling off in lesh. Where sheds are provided, to whiio th cattle ain ha , aeess at night, "r dtiinsteidiathef',2to cost of these will be founD .be money well invested, for whatever secures the comfort of the stock will add to its growth and thrift. Partotiarly sh'owld comfortable quarters be p)rovided fori the cows that are in calf and the young stock. Where a cheap sld can be provided so easily with straw and few poles, or a lt:le lumber, there is no excuse for alloting the dattle to fall off in flesh for want of shelter in the od weather, and show the effects of this for months afterward. Now Is the time of year to plan for such protection where it Is needed. A GREAT loss in many farms is oc catloned from the fact that the fields are not uniformly fertile In all their parts. If they are naturally the same kild of soil,the evening-up process will be comparatively easy. Sometimes the defect will be found In a depression where stagnant water remains. Hero underdraintng will make the waste place at least as good as the balance of the fld, and probably somwIhat better. In such places underdrains will often pay for themselves in. single crop, for when they are made they enable the entire eld to be plowed and the crop to be got in earlier and in better c6nd i tion.____ FAntEn s differ in their estimate of the value of rock as a permanent fertil iznr. Many think it pron table to use it on wheat lyconeation with manure, while many have dechled that to use it on all crops to the exclusion of regular hosphata would deplete tbeir so l of potash. This vics is correct. Heavy crops of corn and clover will exhaust the plotash and unless this depletion is made good and potash in some shape is returned to the soil the land will not respond to the demands of the tiller. POTAsE ns one of the most essentIal elements pertaining to fertility and wherever it ci delcent, marked failure Is the result. Ammonia can be sny plied in nearly sufilcient quantite. from grain fed manure and the opinion has bec me general that the air gives d wn almost a sudicient amount, hencoi the belief that it a not best to pay thu increased price of phosphates that grade high in ammona. Phosphates that grade at least 10 per cent, phosphoric and from 5 to 0 per cent. potash, with * '2 per cent, ammonia are deemed best adapted to all soils and crops. Tr E importance to vegetation of.an abundant water-supply is shown by a consideration of the amount of mois ture which .is perspired b.y healhy plants. . sunflower, only three and a half feet high, with 5.010 quare lncits of' surface exposed to. the air, gives off as inuvisible vapor from twenty to thirty avoirdupois ounces of water every twelve hours. This is more than passes through the skin of a man. Most of the common cultivated plants -such as wheat, beans, peas and clover -exhale during live months of growth more than two hmuidred times their drzy weight of water; while twice its weight of water passes from the Corne lian cherry in twenty-four hours, NUTi TinEs FORt 8HADE--The idea of iplanting edible nut hearing trees wvhere shade is desired,instead of those which are solely ornamental, is not new, but the suggestion is one that will bear thinking about, by those who cont emplate planting shade or ornamen tal trees. Chestnut, walnut, hickory nut and butternut trees are all nearly as fine In appearance as horse chestnut sand maple, andl, aside from the souarce of revenue whichi will in time accrue to their owners from the 'fruit, the timber of such trees laiaways in demand, and the tree itself niay become p)rofita ble should it be came desirable at any time to remove It. TJJE manure from most barnyards is never so thoroughly drawn oult on the laud as it should be. Generally only the cc.arser portions mixed with last year's straw are considered wvorth drawing awvay. In old barnyards there are of(ten rich deposits ot' earth which have been accumulating for years, andi that, spread thinly as top dressing, will produce far more effect the .present . season than may bui expected from the manure made the past Winter. A oooD, cow should yield 805 pounds of butter a year, allowing for the time she is dried off.

"I have a irlend," said Dr. DIq Lewis, "who can lift 000 pounds, and 1 yet is an habitual oufferer from kidney and liver trouble and low spirits." The doctor who was one of the wisest and safest public teachers of the laws of health, wrote: "The very marked testimonials from college professors, respectable physt- i clans and other gentlemen of intolli genco and character, to the value of Warner's safe cure, havo greatly sur prised me. Many of these gentlemen I know, and, reading their testimony, I was impelled to purchase some bot tles of Warner's safe cure and analyze 1c. Besides I took some, swallowing three times the prescribed quantity. I am satisfied that the medicine is not injurious, and will frankly add that if I found myself the victim of a serious kidney trouble I should use this prepa iation."
