The best rule Is to keep farm tools
tioused when not in use. If. however
.hey have been loft out until now uo
tiino should bo lost in getting them
n. The wastage from exposuro of
?ostly implements is enormous every
rear and it is responsible for consider-
able of tho bard times that some farm-
?rs complain of. No matter how soon
tools are rusted out. the farmer cannot
sseapo pitying for them.

Iiecau.su pigs huddle together at
night and thus keep thomsolvcs warm
many think that shelter is less impor-
tant for thoni than for other stock.
Their feeding-plnep especially should
.thvay.s bo covered and protected from
winds. 'The pig has little hair on its
body and is more aoiiaitivo to cold
than any other farm stock. After be-
ing huddled up under cover all night
their exposure in feeding is all the
more likoly to bo injurious.

At this season cows that calved in
Spring give only it small amount of
mill; especially if duo to drop a calf
next Spring. There is little pressure
on the cow's bag and she will not on-
ly show no auxiety to havo the calf ro-
lievo it bill will generally drivo it
away if it attempts to suck. Turn

Sow is the time to turn tho rum with
ft Hook of owes to have them drop
their lambs in April or early in May.
if the ewes are all in good flesh they
will mato pretty evenly. When n ewe
has mated with the buck slio should
bo placed in a separate enclosure.
Those so poor thai they refuse to
breed are probably not worth winter-
ing. The late iumli which limy might
bo induced to breed will not bo worth
much and the owe a year from now
will probably depreciato in valuo. The
rapidity with which sheep run tlown
after passing their prims is tho great-
est drawback In tho sheep-breeding in-
dustry. RIM'S IX KNCil.ASI).
The oatnnd potato crops in England
nud Ireland are turning out much poor-
er than was expected. 'This means an
increased demand for American wheal.
Our own oat and potato crops are be-
low the average so that however high
the price may go in Kuropo they arc
not likely to bo largely exported In
-Urs country the scarcity ot any favor
ite article of food as potatoes has less
effect than m Europe in diverting con-
sumption to something else. Our peo-
ple generally eat what they like best
regardless' of price a pretty sure sign
that workingmen hero are belter paid
than anywhere else in the world.

It is a mistake to harvest parsnips
too early. This is a crop which slight
freezing decidedly iniprores in fpialily
taking off a rank tas which roots
grown on rich ground often have.
Parsnips nro often left ia the ground
all Winter without being injured; but
they liiusl be got out very early in the
Spring as after new growth begini tho
root becomes strong in taste and even
poisonous. After one or two frosts
enough should be got in tha cellar to
Ust through the Winter when those
left in the garden cannot be dug. It Is
nooossitry to cover them well wllh soil
to prevent tho roots from drying up
or top from aproutlng on account of
too high temperature.
KCONOMI.IXO HEAT.
Coal is advancing in price and it be-
hooves nil who purchase fuel to moke
It go as far as possible. There Is much
difference In stoves in this respect
somo burning coal to ashes with little
waste. A ooal aiftor to save the cinders
Is an Important item in household econ-
omy. nitti ns Important ns this Is
banking around cellar walls and stop-
ping cruviceR above the basement. By
theso moans heat niuy bo kept In
though it is not safe to do this nt the
expense of thorough ventilation. Many
farmhouses built a few yonrs ago In
flush times for money are larger than
their owners now wish they were. It
costs too much to warm Iheiu aside
from the debts too often incurred in
their construction.

It is not iilono nor chiefly the nutri-
tion in carrots that makes Ihcm valua-
ble feed for horses and other stock in
Winter. They have nn admirable ef-
fect in keeping llio bowels open loos-
ening the hie and thus promoting
healthful circulation of the blood. A
stalled horse kept on dry feed through
the Winter becomes bilious just as hu-
man beings do who lead sedentary
lives. We havo not got into the habit
of dosing horses for biliousness' nor
need wo. A mess of carrots daily with
half tho usual amount of grain will
keep a horse in better working order
than oats without the roots. In most
places carrots can bo bought by the
quantity at about half llio price of oats
and pay the grower well ai that.

The Lyons (X. V.) Republican tells
a very interesting story of how a boy in
rhelps X. V. successfully managed a
largo farm. 'Two years ago ho was
left by llio death of his father with a
farm of ninety acres burdened by n
mortgage of $1100 ami a widowed
mother to support. Ho whs then
fifteen years old. 'Taking the advice of
a neighbor the mother allowed the boy
to run things in his own way. Ho has
developod a natural genius for success-
ful farm management which includes
of course some pretty hard work. He
has plowed cultivated and harvestod
good crops has run a small milk dairy
has repainted llio house and paid oft'
the entire amount of tho debt. Last
Winter he taught school and thus
earned some extra money. Hi his
spare timo be writes interestingly for
local papers and Is koeping up a sys-
tem of t'hautauqua readings. This
young man will bo heard from hero-
after. Wo would gladly givo his name
but tho Lyons paper does not furnish
it. The only caution needed by this
inodol young farmer is not to overtax
himsolf and thus destroy what prom-
ises now to be a lifo of great useful
lies. American VuUivntnr.

Only Making Matters Worse.
Commodoro Vnnderbilt's thorough
ways of doing business are proverbial.
At one time some of his laborers ap-
plied to havo tho:r time reduced to the
eight-hour system. The Commodore
ordered thoir time reduced to seven
hours and paid llieiu prorata. Not
liking this turn of affairs one Irishman
said to another: "Mike I wish the
Commodoro was in li !" "Falx"
answered Mike "that same wouldn't
