CARE 01 Srovx.—Every animal on the farm which is now thin in flesh will have a hard time of it this winter, unless it receiv. es extraordinary care and attention. Some- how, nature has provided that all healthy animals should be fat in the fall, as 4 con~ dition for passing the rigors of winter com: fortabiy or even safely, and coming out healthy, sound and vigorous in the spring. there is no compromise in Nature’s laws, and if they are violated or dvviated from the penalty must be paid ‘ without declara- , tion or discount.’’ ‘The breeder who would | thrive by his occupation must conform his pract'ce to these simple laws. It is not

| pretended, of course, thatalean animal, which is so, not because it is really uns healthy, may not be fattened or brought into good condition during the winter months, but that it costs too much to do it ' that it is bad economy, and that the necess- ity for it ought to be avoided, and will be avoided by every good farmer i in all cases, There is no better evidence possible that a farmer is running down hill and will sooner or later reach the bottom, than to see his stock, whether horses cattle, sheep, hogs or chickens, poor and werk.

good health the work should not discour- age him. He will pull through. He should not get excited; he should not worry. He should keep cool ; and the best way to do this, in more senses than one, is te keep steadily at work. Work will clear the mind and cool the body. But it should be ener- getic, spirited work, not slow prodding drudgery. Every stroke should he direct~ | ed by the mind and be given wi ith a will. It is such work that tells.
