Weak Lungs.
IS very one knows that physical exer
cise invigorates the muscular system:
tiiat the constant action, within limits,
of any muscle enlarges and strengthens
that muscle. It is the working of the
same law that giics fullness and vigor
to the blacksmith's arm. This law is
physiologically universal, and therefore
applies to the lungs.

Dry Earth for Ilediling.
When cows choose to lie down in th&
yard or pasture, says an owh'inge. it.
will be seen that they choose the bare
ground rather than the sod or bedding
of straw. The same is true of sheep.
We haie taken this hint and furnish tho
cow stables with dry earth bedding.
Leaves and straw are poor absorbents in
comparison. In tho pig pens dry earth
has no equal. In very cold weather wo
add straw or leaves, but until the weath
er is very cold the animals will be more
comfortable with a bed of fresh soil or
of soil changed once a fortnight or week.

winter season. Many farmers confine
their operations, in winter to hauling
wood, tilling the ice-houses, etc. A
smaller class, mrc enterprising, draw
out the manure as it is made. The
very best farmers keep all their avail
able force busy all winter. There are
many kinds of farm work that can be
performed very advantageously in win
tor. If it has become necessary to lay
a stone wall in any part of the farm,
and the -tones are in piles, so the can
be 'got at. they can be drawn i.ow much
cheaper than next summer. 'lho.e
who have nei or tried it would be sur
prised t si .- how much easier a loaded
sjone-lmat dra'.vs when then is a btlle
snow on the ground. When tin- simiv
is a little ileep.r. a sleigh can be ml
stituted for a stone boat. ' I'anniTS who
haie stones to draw trom meadows 01
other fields would do well 1.. prepare
for drawing the stones in the winter.
Small .stones can be piled in heaps, and
large ones can be raised from the
gnTund. merely to keep them from
freezing down. Large stone- can be
handled in winter bi impl hifi'ing a
rope around them, ami with the im
portant adianlage of not plowing up
the field. I think that .-itch sit-nes art
much more e:isiii handled with about a
foot of snow on ihe ground, as tueh a
depth of snow tends to preieut any
pitching or rolling, which alw.iis cau-t-s
annoyance. Stones for building pur
pose, can be hauled to hotteradiantago
in winter than in summer.
Winter is a g I time t prepare for
changing or repairing the leuce- on tin
farm. In drawing manure in winter il
is not adiisable to pile it, utiles- tor the
purpoe ot decomposing straw or kill
ing foul seeds. I haie followed the
practice of hauling manure fieri win
ter, and I think the iinst hi iieiii ial re
sults follow the practice of spreading ii
directly from the sleigh. I haie to go
oier the fields in the spring ami lueak
up the large lumps, but this is benefi
cial. The manure is -ry much inure
valuable when applied in a green state,
and when it is mingled to a git at ex
tent with froen liquid manure, than if
it has been allowed to leach and dri for
months before being Used. A icri
good sleigh for this purpose is made
with wooden runners, and it is best to
provide a tight box for the liquid
manure. When the manure is all out.
it is disposed of. tin-re can be 110 lur
ther waste and it fertilizes the first crop
on that field. The true principle ot
farming is alwais jo keep ahead of the
work. Chri.-ti t.i I itimi.
Ti::htiiig the Canker Worm.
It is very common for writers on eank
?r worms "t j recommend that the trees
to be protected be treated w ith printer's
ink quite frequent"!, beginning in cto
ber or November, and continuing the
practice till the trees arc leaied ut in
spring. It is not improbable that the
moths may occasionally mature sulli
eictitly in their pup.i skins to burst them
and come forth, during unusually mild
weather in autumn, but in aicr.ige cars
the number that coiue out of the ground
before spring will probabli be found to
be ery small. Mr. (). A. Hillman,
whose apple orchard on his farm in
.Marlboro' is one of lhe best in the lit ini
ty. has made the habits of the canker
worm a study, and ha found that the
female moths which are wingless, very
seldom crawl up the trees till the liiM
reallv warm day in spring. His method
of protection is printer's ink spread upon
strips of paper some s"- inches wide,
which arc wound around the trunks of
the trees and fastened by two or more
carpet tacks at each end of the band,
the paper reeeii ing one application of
Ihe ink early in tin' spring, and then the
trees are examined en-ry warm day till
the moth begins to nnne, when the ink
is again applied. His observations lead
him to belieie that the moths moie al
most soldi by night, and that the great
er portion leaie the ground the same
night and immediately following the
first warm day. lv watching clo-elv.
and bi baling the paper all in phi-e
and colored by one application of ink.
he is able to know hi the few scattering
moths caught, just about the right time
to ghe them a sticky path to travel in.
Last spring, a very warm day in April
gaie promise of starting out the moths
in full numbers, and by painting the
bands of the entire orchard one after
noon, he was enabled the next morning
to see nearly the whole preiious year's
crop of moths imprisoned in the sticky
mass. The number w hich crawled up
later was too insignificant to be woitli
pai ing much attention to. unless utter
extermination of the species be aimed
at, which would be an undertaking of
no small moment where an orchard is
surrounded bi trees belonging to care
less neighlNirs.
At tho dose of the pairing season, the
tacks are drawn out from one end of the
paper bands and they arc allowed to
hang loosely, during the growth ot the
tree in summer. Pcfore winter the pa
pers are replaced, and if the trees arc
now too large to be encircled by the
bands, the ink is bruhcd over the inter
vening space on the bark ifse'i. .'.

The Tree-Planter'.- Opportunity.
It is the season for making out a list
and selecting trees to be set in spring.
Those who will trust a wandering and
wholly irresponsible agent with this im
portant work choose to incur risk, and
almost always find that they have met
them. The wiser wai b? t go to the
grower, who has a character and a busi
ness at stake, and is pretty sure to raise
the varieties that give inst -ati-faction
in the particular locality while making
trial of new sorts of promise. The pur
chaser can then see whole rows of tu'
kinds he determine to plant, and -an
mark with colored string or otI""u'"-'

Artificial Heat for Fowls.
During the cold winter months, when
the iheruiom 'Ser not only goes far be
low z.ero but remains there and we draw
closer to our tires or furnaces, exposing
otirsclios as little as possible to the se
vere cold, we naturally think more in
regard to theti-e of artificial heat for
fowls, and perhaps some of us are in
dined to make experiments for our
selves. This is a good idea if properly
carried out. but one should understand
thoroughly just what he proposes to ac-compli-h
by this experiment.
At the fir-t glance it seems to be the
mo-t 11 itural tiling in the world to give
fowl- the benefit of artificial warmth, on
the principle that what is beneficial for
man cannot be hurtful for fowls. Rut
let a- consider the question for a mo
ment. If your solo object is the f.itten

If 1-. hi wish to breed from your pres
op. stock retain a portion of it iu your

to re-ort to artitieial heat, as it .-urely

a ilebilitati-d stock.
On the whole, then, for jrcneral pur. ;
;ostij. it is In-tter not to rely on extrane
ous heat, but have your fowl-hou-cs well .
protected and as large a proportion of
iriasj in the -uth ami east snies a- v
sible. Thi- u ill usually furnl-h sufticieat
warmth, and even where it is a little
coo! it is better for the fowls (admitting
the loss of a few eirrr- at the present
time), than it i- to furnish too great an
amount of heat and thereby render your
entire stock weak and debilitated. This
course would also prevent allowing the
fowls any range, as the change from a
heated room "to the cold air without ;
would be too great a one for safety.
The varietyT however, makes quite a
diiTerence. as a hardy, vigorous fowl like ,
the Pivmouth Rock will "endure change
of all kinds much better than a delicate
one like the Spanish. The Plymouth
Hock, moreover, does not necessarily
demand the range required by the
Spanish and Leghorn, and for thai rea- .
sjn. as well as many- others, is the best '
breed or varietv forgeneral use. F. II. -t
