Bnicxs AND S'fIl.\\\'.—Dl‘. Digg has discovered a striking analogy between the brickmakiiig operations ofthe Israel- ites in Egypt and those of tire present day. In the first instant straw was rc~ quircd in the manufacture ofu perfect brick; in the latter straw is an essential thing, as is shown in the inibibatioii of juleps, an clement in the manufacture of modern bricks, wlierc straw is invariably used.

I'ix Up the Implements.

During the winter every implement and machine that will be required next spring and summer should be overhauled and repaired. Examine the plows, and if they have been neglected and are rusty, wash off all the dirt, and then apply with a swab fastened on the end of a stick, a mixture of one part sulphuric acid and two parts water. Bub the mould-board and other parts that are rusty with this liquid until the rust is all removed; then wash it off and rub it dry. Then smear it over with crude petroleum or some other cheap oil, and next spring you will be saved from the loss and anoyancc of clogging. ‘lvery farmer should buy a barrel of petroleum, and use it freely on all his wuggons, machines, and imple- ments, etc. It will kelp the iron from rusting and the wood from decay, and in cold weather it is a usefullubricuting oil. \Vo find it absolutely essential to keep on hand several sizes of carriage bulls. IVith these and a brace, and a Ietof bits, nearly all ordinary fractures can be easily repaired. It is a great convenience, also, to have a vise, and to keep on hand an assortment of uncut nuts, with the tools for making the thread in them and also on the bolts. Alltbcae things can be obtained at a hardware store, and a fur. mer who buys them will never regret it. But it is necessary "to take anything to the blnckamith’s shop, now is the time to do it, and when it is repaired, clean ofl'thc rust, paint it with Iinsrcd oil, and put it awn for use in the spring. II the farmer or III: son would go over all the implements, machinery, wagons, hay racks, tools, etc., paint them, oil and tighten the bolts, and see that everything [4 ilrong and in good order, it would not,

only greatly lessen the blackimith's bill, but would save much precious time and no little annoyance next spring and sum~ iner. The winter is also the time to make wliiflIe-trccs, and three-horse even- crs. It is a great advantage to have an extra set of these on hand.

Said a farmer who does not take the igllllllltt’l'sflfl.‘ Journal to a neighbor who does: ‘ You want more stock to make manurc.’ It was an innocent remark, but out friend is as fond of an argument as was llr. Johnson, and replied : ‘ 'I‘hat remark indicates a lack of just ideas on the subject. It is as absurd to suyI want more stock to make man- urc as it would be to say I want more stoves to make ashes. IfI burn fifty cords of wood the amount of ashes will be the same, whether I use three stovesor a doz- cn,ond if I used in all the fodder I have it will make little dilfcrcnce, so far as the quantity and quality ofthe manure is con- cerned, whether I keep a large number of cattle, sheep, and pigs or a small number. The value ofthe manure heap will de- pend an the grain, hay, straw, and stalks used on the farm, and not on the slock.‘ There is considerable truth in what our friend says, and we are glad he has so far profited by the teachings of the Journal that he realizes that the value of the manure depends on the food, and not

on the kind of stock it is fed to. It is a great mistake to be overstocked. There

is no possible advantage—notean iiithc manure heap—and not unfrequcntly the loss is very great. Better sell a part of the stock and feed what is retained all they can eat—enough, at all events, to keep them in ii thrifty, healthy condition. If an animal is not gaining, we are losing all the food it consumes. By providing warm, sheltered, dry, and comfortable quarters we can save a considerable amount of food, but. after all is done, the animal stillrcquircs about 2;. lbs, of Iiay per day, or its equivalent in straw, for each 100 lbs. of live weight, to sustain the vital functions and keep it from los- ing in flesh. \Vhat we gain in milk, flesh, or wool, is derived from the food consum- ed in excess of this amount.
