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.

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.

It is a simple very matter and costs only a few glass cold. covers and a little extra care. It is a great thing to be able to supply the table with these things a few weeks earlier in the season.

ink, which does not harden quite so quickly. It has to be renewed every few days to make a sure thing of it. 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.
