Winter ( are of Fapui Uorin.
No farmer can afford to do otherwise
than give his horses the best of care
during tho winter months. This does
not imply undue pampering in any
case, but simply such care as will keep
them in good, thrifty condition not
overly fat, neither poor and discouraged
looking, with hair standing the Mrong
way.
Farm horses should be comfortably
stabled in winter, but not all of the
time. On pleasant days they should be
turned out in a suitable yard or small
pasture, if the yard Is so situated as
to be sheltered by buildings or stacks,
there will be but few days too disagree-
able tor the horses to have their out-
door exercise. Our barnyard is located
north and east of barn, with a cattle
shed on the west, and is protected on
the north by a dense grove of box elder
trees, but, in addition to this, we have
for several years built a long rick c:
hay just outside of the north fence a?-

the weather had moderated toward j

while this is efficacious, yet the cost and

way to treat milk as it comes from

yet a satisfactory one, is to cool it to

•J. \. Hardy, Kansas—I use no ther-
mometer in my hen house, but try to
keep the temperature comfortable. In
building a suitable hen-house, one must
be governed greatly by the amount of
money to be invested and at the same
time have a warm, light and con-
venient winter house for the birds. For
a cheap, warm, winter house, suitable
for this climate, select a location slop-
ing to the south. Make an excavation
say three feet by twelve feet by thirty
feet, with the thirty-foot side to the
south. Cover, as in any ordinary case,
making the height from five to six feet
in the clear. Have the doors in the
south. The entire south side above the
giound should !)e covered by glass. This
will admit the light and the sun all
day long, and Water will never freeze
in the house. In your coldest winter
days your birds will be found working
in the litter as happily as in summer.
It will give you winter eggs and your
show birds will not have frosted combs.
The only objection raised by the people
to this one-half underground house is
dampness, which opinion is a mistake
if your glass is of the proper slope. The
sun, shining on the bottom of your
house every day, will make the ground
as dry in a week as a western Kansas
cornfield.-Farmers' Review.

A Small Boy Tells What Hens Are.—A
boy's composition on hens reads as fol-
lows: "Hens is curious animals. They
don't have 110 nose, nor no teeth, nor no
ears. They swaller their vittles whole,
and chew it up in their crops in side of
'em. The outside of liens is generally
put into pillers and feather dusters.
The inside of a hen is sometimes filled
up with marbles and shirt buttons and
sich. A hen is very much smaller than
a good many other animals, but they'll
dig up more tomato plants than any-
thing that ain't a hen. Hens is very-
useful to lay eggs for plum pudding.
Bet yer life I like plum pudding. Skin-
ny Bates eat so much plum pudding
once that it set him into the collery.
Hens has got wing,"., and can fly when
they are scart. I cut my uncle Will-
iam's hen's neck off with a hatchet, and
it scart her to death. Hens sometimes
make very fine spring chickens.

Buying Milk and Water—Yet another
novelty is to bfe recorded. A Sheffield
mllkseller sold an inspector some
liquid, which on analysis proved to be
milk and water. This was not denied
by the vendor, who not only told the
inspector what ho was buying, but ac-
tually produced in court two customers
who informed the stipendiary that they
had for a long time been buying the
mixture, well knowing it to be a com-
pound of milk mixed with water in
the proportion of one quart to every
two gallons. It is difficult to believe
that anybody can be anxious to pur-
chase milk and water, and actually to
prefer it to milk; but, verily, there is
no accounting for taste.—The Dairy
(England).

the credit of Mexico be it said that I do

Is produced here and to the discredit of
my own land bo it also said that con-
siderable of the stuff is shipped in from

seems cruel, and certainly does not pay,

all the time, du^ and night. On the
other hand, it is no less cruel and un-

they can alonj? the fences, around old

While it may often be expedient to
let colts "rough it" to some extent, the
wide, clean, comfortable, well-bedded
stalls should be at. the service of "Dick
and Dan"—the farm team—whenever
they will be better oft therein than out
of doors. Aside from any pecuniary
gain or loss, it is a great comfort of a
winter's night as i lie between the
warm blankets and listen to the storm
without, to know that the horses, my
companions In labor, are as comfortable
as a clean, warm stable, good food and
plenty of bedding can make them.
Horses should, if possible, be induced
to lie down much at night. Ours in-
variably do; we often find one or more
down in the morning, and they do not
always spring up the moment the door
ns rolled back either, as it is our aim
to give them a feeling of confidence and
rest when in the stable.
For several winters past we have
cleaned the stable out regularly twice
each day, the manure and soiled etrawr
being thrown in the yard, and from
there hauled upon the farming land.
Some seem to think it «i great waste to
bed horses so lavishly, but we con-
sider it a great saving, to say nothing
of comfort and cleanliness.
On most farms straw is abundant and
cheap. Great stacks are allowed to rot
down while the horses are compelled
to lie upon the bare floor, the hair of
their bodies and benumbed limbs ab-
sorbing liquids which should be ab-
sorbed by a thick bed of straw, and
with it conveyed to the manure pile
next morning.—Geo. C. Pettit in Ohio

months past references have been ap-
pearing in old country journals show-
ing that they regard very seriously the
competition from America. Our Mon-
treal market report iu this issue states
that Canadian shipments of sheep have
this season run up to over 180,000, an
increase of 51,000 above last year. The
direct basis of the clamor for a sheep
embargo is that scab (a disorder with
which British flocks have been overrun
for years) is eaid to have been discov-
ered in several shipments. A sheep
embargo would compel the finishing of
all sheep here, so that they would be
ready for the butcher before shipment
from Canada, as Is now the case with
cattle. We understand that steps have
been taken at British ports of landing
for largely increased slaughtering fa-
cilities, which adds color to the news i
that a permanent live stock embargo j
is on the tapis. The complaints of th* I
British farmer have been many anil
loud, and under cover of the crusade
against animal diseases (with which
we must admit Britain has been sorely
affluted) they will accord whatever ad-
vantage may come from shutting out
all but finished stock, thus getting rid
of the competition of an inrush of
cheap animals for feeding purposes, be-
sides, as they put it, closing one possi-
ble avenue against disease.—Farmer's
