Debts are ugly shadows that hang over too many homes. Interest money not only eats up most of the profits, but it marks with anxiety the countenance of him who has it to pay. As the stock on the farm at this season of the year depends entirely on the farmer for food, he should try to understand the particular wants of each animal, and to feed in a manner to secure the best results. Never trust feeding the stock to irresponsible hired help. Good judgment and long experience are required to feed milch cows to the best advantage. Give the oldest boy a colt and the next younger a calf to care for, and see that they are properly instructed how to feed them. How is the woodpile getting along? The first good sledding should be improved to get the wood home. When eggs are forty cents a dozen the poultry must not be neglected. Provide a warm, dry location for the house, and then see that the laying hens have a variety of food; the wife and daughters will be glad to deal it out, providing they can have the money the eggs bring. Give the hens, as well as cows, warm water to drink during the coldest months of the year. Full Moon, 4th day, 8h. 14m., evening, E. Last Quarter, 12th day, 1h. 51m., evening, W.

EVERY farmer should have a snow plough; the boys delight to ride on them to plough out the paths; they save time and hard labor, and keep the boys good-natured. Early lambs must be closely looked after this month; give them a clean place where it is warm and yet well ventilated, with plenty of sunshine. To make them grow as rapidly as possible, a pen should be built in one corner, with a small opening where they can pass in and out to eat meal which is beyond the reach of the sheep. But the mothers should not be neglected; give them sweet hay and a sufficient amount of roots and grain to secure a good flow of milk. Very early lambs bring prices that pay the farmer for keeping his sheep in the best possible condition.

IT is time to settle down on some plan of operations on the farm for the coming season; it is very poor policy to wait until the busy season commences before deciding what crops to grow in each field; if the decision be made now, the seed can be tested before planting time, and thus avoid planting seed that will not grow. If tomato plants are to be grown, it is time to prepare the hotbed; in doing this, see winds that the manure is in proper condition to secure good bottom heat; to make it so, pitch it over a few days before placing it in the hotbed. If the farm implements have not already been put in good order, do it at once; it is a very shiftless practice to delay the repair of tools until the busy season arrives. Every farmer should have a repair shop and a set of tools so that during the winter he can make simple repairs; the more difficult ones should go to the wheelwright and blacksmith. Breeding sows should be kept in warm, clean quarters, and a close watch kept on them when the pigs are Milder. dropped. Milch cows during this month require even more care than in January or February; give them a daily feed of roots, and it pays well to warm the water during the cold weather. Hens should be set this month if early chickens are desired. ent. . SPRING BEGINS. 21 Fr. St. Benedict. Very high tides. 22 Sa. 21st. 6१८. 23 E 5th Sun. in L. Passion Sunday. 29 Sa. V. low tides.
