Extrmnesr To take no emusementis bed, for it do- prives the mind of needfol rest and recrea- tion ; so likewise is it bad. to be altogether given up to amusement, for then all serious objects are lost sight of. The true plan is to take amusement in moderation. To be very much in society is sure to deteriorate the human character, making it frivolous, and incapacltating it for taking abstract and elevated views ; on the other hand, a. perfectly solitary life Weakens the mind, lays it open to odd fancies and eccentrici- tieP, if not to hypooondria, and ends in some instances by altogether throwing it from its balance The medium is here also found alone salutary. Even in the simplest points of behaviour an extreme is to be condemn- ed. To be excessively gay, in a world where so many evils lurk around our every step, and so many Lonerous things call for our attention, is wrong; so is it to be al- ways serious, seeing that the world aloe contains materials of much happiness, and that guyety to a certain extent is positively nalnt‘xry.

The Far Reaching WNWo-O-w WW'W- > Mr. will proâ€" Another prolific cause of waste is in feed- ing stock through the Winter without shel- ter. It is as plain as that one and one are two that food used to keep up animal heat mskes neither flesh, fat, nor milk ; and yet a large per cent. of our cattle are still win- tered without shelter. I think I have proved by actual experiment that the same amount of food required to keep a cow or steerirom losing flesh if fed out of doors in all weather through the winter will add 100 pounds to it if warmly sheltered. We notice the loss quicker in milk than in ii: sh, and ina warm basement stable my cows have not decreased a particle in milk during the last three days, though we have had the worst blizzard I ever remember, mercury ranging for sixty hours from zero to 15 degrees below, the wind blow- ing a gale and the air filled with snow, so that one could scarcely see fifty feet for over half the time. Any farmer knows that if my cows had been out in the storm and cold they would have shrunk onehalf or more in their milk, and the same is true of the loss of fies 1 ; but it can- not be so quickly detected as that of milk. Some years ago I bought an agricultural boiler (a (50-gsllon kettle on a stove) ‘:"ith a large surface exposed to the air. I set it up out of doors, but soon found that on a cold, windy day I could scarcely make a fire hot enough to bring the water to a boil in it. 1 then moved it into a buildin where it was protected and found that saved half the fuel. This is a good illustration oi feeding stock exposed to the cold and storms of winter. Both for the sake of humanity and profit I would have warm shelter for every head of stock wintered, and would sell in the fall any stock which I could not so shelter. Ads of: numb Brute Iliat inn lluman Itch: g would be (Iallotl ll mean. A horse which had been in possession of the Peters family, in Bushklll, Pa. , for twenty years, and which was famous for the almost human intelligence he frequently dis- played, died recently. During the last few years of the home’s life he had been permit- ted to run at liberty, but was frequently hitched up to haul the dead bodies of cattle or horses that died on the farm to a. place near the Delaware River, Where the carcas- ses were buried. The old horse always stood near and watched the burials with great interest and attention. One common cause of waste is feeding poor stock. 011 how many farms can still be found scrub cattle that will not attein agrcater weight at three years old than good grade ahorthorns will at two? And yet it is often true that farmers will use a scrub yearling bull rather than pay for the services of a. thsroughbred shorthom. I have known many a. shorthom bull sold from a neighborhood where there was great need of improvement in the cattle because he was not patronized enough to pay his keeping. If you should offer one of these farmers 30 cents a bushel for his corn, when the established price was 40 cents, he would think you demented ; and yetby feeding it to the class of et-ook he Keeps he is virtually selling it below the merket price. Underfeeding is another common ceuae of waste, and yet many farmers actually think they are economizing by wintering three cattle on the amount of food two should have. How large a. per cent. of the cattle of your neighborhood weigh less in April than they do in October ‘3 A certain amount of food, celled ,food of support, in required to keep up the waste 01 the sys- tem, and no gain can be made unless more food is given than this. It seems to me just an unwise to barely feed enough to keep the animal from starvation as it would to only furnish fuel enough under the steam boiler to make the water scalding hot, but not enough to bring it to a. boil and generate steam. When once the water was at this point it would require but 8. small addition to the fuel to develop steam and give power to drive the machinery, but the parsimony which scrlmps the fuel ivolvee 9. total weate of all Hut is used. A cal-respondent of the Natlonnl Stock- man gives the following pithy points on thy lmpyrtant topic : _ Manufacturers are forced by the competi- tion of rivals to adopt the but possible methods and fiop every waste or they wil be driven to the wall. I have little doubt that on moat farms the wastes in feedlng consume a large part of the profits. l’osal- bly the enumeretlon of some waste: which are common, and which probably every reader can locate In his own neighborhood, will be found helpful. Some time ago thin horse fell sick. One day he was missed from an enclosure where he was being cared for. A search was made for him, and he was finally found lying dead on the spot where he had hauled the dead bodies of so many of his kind. As the place was out of the way of the old horse’s usual haunts, and as he had never been known to go there except when driven there with some dead animal, no one who knew the horse believes that he did not seek the spot feel- ing that he was about to die, and to save the trouble of hauling his dead body there to be buried. Among the instances told of his intelli- gence are the following : Lute one night a member of the family that owned him were awakened by a. great noise on a piazza. of the house. There was Ihe loud neighlng of a horse and a heavy stamping on the piazza floor. One of the inmates of the house went to £116 door. There was the old horse stamp- ing and kicking and neighing with all his power. The discovery was made that an out‘rouse near the dwelling was on fire. 'L'he old horse had given the alarm, and e disas- trous fire was prevented. One spring there was a. flood in a stream on the place. A bllnzl horse belonging to a neighbor got out of its pasture, and wander- ing down to the swollen atresm in some way got into the water. It swam about in 3. en'- cle, and was unable to reach either share, No one could render any ald to the poor animal, and there seemed no escape for it from drowning. The old Peters heme cams :ul-mg while the blind horse was strugglmg in the water, and, after a moment's survey of the situation, plunged in. He swam out to the blind horse, and headed it off as it turned to make its usqu circle, thus keeping its head pointed straight for shore as it swam By heading the blind horse first on one side and than on the other, he guided it safely to shore.
