Farmer's Calendar.

THERE'S nothing like the eye of the owner who loves them, to

make cattle thrive. It is all

wrong to keep them out in rough winds and storms. A cold draught of air is as bad for them as for you. Don't you know

that a flock of hens will take cold in a draught as quick as a boy? In the round of chores, you have time now to look to the wants of all the live-stock well fed, and clean. No one on on the farm, to keep all warm, the farm ought to let this month pass without giving much time to books. They are the voices of the distant and the dead. They bring to us all, the society, the companionship, the very spiritual presence of the greatest and the best of our race. time you give to the study of good books will not be lost. It will tell on the farm, on the mind, and on the heart. We shifting must strive to make better men, to as well as to do better work,
