Let us, then, start in upon the new year with a will to make the most of the time. The hours, the days, the weeks and the months are what the years are made of, and it is for us to fill them up the best we know how. We can run the farm well, better than it was ever run before, and at the same time train the mind to reach forth after higher aims and to for attain to nobler purposes in life. a Let us strive to get on the right track, and to stick to it.

Cows are most sensitive to cold and hard fare, and the food we give them ought to be such as to keep up the heat of the body as well as the supply of the elements which go to increase the secretion of milk. A few roots will be greatly rel ished, and if bran or shorts are fed with them, so much the better. Hay cut short and steamed or soaked in hot water, with a little meal added, is a tidbit that point in the silo is that it ofno cow will refuse. The strong fers a constant supply of moist and succulent food through the winter. To pack corn in a silo does not add to its nutritive value, but just keeps its juices in their normal state. To some extent it may be said to carry June into midwinter. Strawberries well preserved are the next best thing to strawberries fresh. Germany signed, 1871. for some 1885.] MARCH, THIRD MONTH.

It is high time to get the tools in order for use by and by. A good toolhouse is a very handy place, and it offers a place to work on many a rainy day. Stock of all kinds needs a little extra care this month. The best cows will be the most apt to have some trouble with the udder. The bag will swell and heat with inflammation. Bathe it every two hours with hot soapsuds, hot as you can bear the hand in, rubbing off dry every time with warm flannels. Never put cold water on in such cases unless you want a confirmed case of the garget. |
