Wintering Stock.
Tho natural temperature of all farm
animal° when in health is a little less than
•one hundred degrees. This temperature is
maintained at the same point during the
heat of midsummer and in the frigid weath-
•e ofour cold winters by the vital process
•of combustion, but when the temperature
of the animal ie raised above the Lorena
point by a highly heated atmosphere or by
reason of violent exercise, it is at once
reduced by perspiration. Food is the fuel
which is consumed in the animal to keep it
warm in cold weather, and the colder the
weather, the more food will be neceaeery,
unless other means aro u=.ed to keep the
animal heat. A warm barn, a warts stable,
a warm chicken house, a warm pig -pen are
not only groat savers of food, but make the
stook comfortable, and in ease of the cows,
they give more and better. milk ;. the pigs
grow luster, and the chickens lay more eggs.
In building a stable, or if the stable itt al.
ready built, it costs but a trifle to make it
tight and warm, se ea to give complete pro.
Motion to the animals, besides, there is
great satisfaction in feeling during asevere
storm, that all the farm animals are warm
and comfortable.
The economy of giving the farm stook
warm quarters during the winter is an
important footer in the item of expense,
.and, atthesame time, the matter of venti-
lation should not be neglected, for good air
is as important to the wellbeing of stock
as shelter and food. Of all the farm ani.
mala that aro shabbily treated and abused
.during winter, the pigs and young stook
fare the worst. They get the poorest feed
and the enldest quarters, as a rule. The
young stook live under• the lee of a straw
stack, and the pigs are served with a cold,
wet pan, without abed. Man's inhumanity
to man is said to be great, but his inhuman-
ity to animate is still greater.
Letus urge then, as a saving of money,
to keep the animals warm, and to treat
them kindly pays big.
General Purpose Farming.
Have our farmers, as a rule, studied and
,mastered the fundamental principles of
stook feeding and hygiene? Have they
got beyond the obsolete "general purpose
farming" idea? Have they leatned the
great economic fact that a man, in any
avocation, cannot do his best work by
spreading himself too meth ? Have they
learned to gauge accurately their own
individual capacities and adaptabilities?
Do they know the resources of their own
particular soils; their strong points and
their weak ones ; how to take advantage'
of the strong pointe and to remedy and
reinforce the weak ones ? • Do they common.
trate their chief attention npon the few
things they can do well, and make the
most of these? Or is the average farmer
still open to the accusation of being to- a
great degree, "Jack of all trades" upon the
farm, "and master of none?"
The manufacturer could not now do busi-
ness auccesefully on such loose lines.
This "general purpose farming" hardly
admits at alibi the division of labor upon
the farm, which, with the manufacturer, is
one of hie strongest points. Specialization
in agricultural produotion does admit of
some degree at least of increased akill and
efficiency, due to practice in the labor
employed by the farmer.

There does not seem to be any good reason
why farmers• should be exempt from the
necessity of carefully considering all the
conditions of lameness in the prosecution of
their business,andof conforming themselves
to those conditions. Men in other lines of
occupation are nob exempt. There are,.
indeed, many farmers who tore engaged in
the cultivation of lands, part, or all of
which, are unworthy of cultivation under
present conditions. Their labor is names -

A VALUABLE EXERCISE.
Walking Can Be Enjoyed By tke Poor as
Well as the Rich.
It is strange that in the rage for athletic
exercise which prevails atpresent, the good
old one of walking seems to be falling into
disuse. We all practice ib to some extent,
but very few to a really practical or profit.
able degree. The very foot of its being a
common thing of our everyday life has made
people overlook its value. Unlike most
other exeroisee, it can be enjoyed by the
poor as well as the ricti, and if practised in
moderation, by the weak aa well as the
strong. It ie not every young lady or wo-
man that oan play tennis, ride a horse or a
b,oycle or attend a gymnasium, but any
one, old or young, male or female, that is
not a cripple and is in fairly good health,
oan walk. Regular, brisk walking in the
open air would be the best medicine in the
world for many ills, imaginary and other-
wise, to which women, for the most part,
aro subject. In foot, physicians proscribe
systematic walks of reasonable length as a
part t their treatment in many oases, and
it is generally the hardest part to make the
patient obey. City and •country women
alike neglect to walk, though for somewhat
different reasons. Indeed, on the whole,
those in the cities deserve less to be accused,
although it was a pity girl that said recent-
ly that she did not ge out to walk for two
or three weeks unless obliged to in order to
do some errand..
In these days, when oar limes run to
every parb of the large oitiee and will take
ue eo quickly and easily whenever we wish
LO go, it is a great temptation to most
people to ride. The unfortunate habit of
hurrying is often responsible for it, for we
look at our watches, think how much time
we should lose by walking and decide that
we cannot afford it, In most eases it
would be not a loom but a gain. But in
the country, where in pleasant weather it
is a positive .delight simply to be out of
doors, the small amountof walking done
by the women is almost incredible. The
family keep, at least one horse and, if
they live on alarge farm, probably several.
It does not take five minutes to hitch up,
and wherever they are going, bo it only
half a tnile, they invariably drive. Or if
they aro living in a village they may not
own a horse. Then when the morning
house work is finished, the girls sib down
to sew or read or perhaps run to see a
neighbor a few doors o0. All this is pleas-
adt and well enough, but it should not
prevent their taking a good walk every
afternoon, of they would only be convinced
of the benefit to be derived from it. The
argument that housework furnishes suffloi•
nt exercise will net hold good. 'ib is
valuable in its place, but work performed
inside the house, often over a hot fire and
in close rooms, is a very different thing
from walking in the fresh air, and cannot
be trade to do instead of it,

The hawk family in Canada, called in

that regularly reside fn, or visit the

where rabbits, prairie doge, or gophers
abound. The gyr-faloone and the dunk
hawk doindeed feed mainly on game, but
they are northern birds, and rarely frequent
the settled districts.
The three hawks most injurious to the
Canadian farmer are, probably, the sharp,
shinned, which is very fond of young
grouse and chickens; Cooper's hawk, which
makes a specialty of pigeons; and the gos
hawk, the size of which enables it to parry
off full-grown game and poultry, on which
it almost exclusively feeds.
Toa GOSHAWK
(aocipiter atricapilltts) is one of the largest
and handsomest of its tribe. Many of them
remain in Canada throughout the year.
Adults vary in size from twenty to twenty
our inches in length. Above they ere

bead ; below is white thickly barred across
with zigzag lines of grey, and a few dark

Audubon gives the following graphic
account of this bird's flight. "The flight of
the goshawk is extremely rapid and pro-
traoted. }Te sweeps along the margins of
the fields, through the woods, and by the
edges of ponds and rivers, with such speed
as to enable him to seize hie prey by merely
deviating a few yards from his course,
assisting himself on such occasions by his
long tail, which like a rudder, he throws
to right or left, upwards or downwards to
oheoa hie progress; or enables him sudden-
ly to alter his course. At times he passes
like a meteor through the underwood, where
he secures squirrels and hares with ease.
When travelling he flies high, with a con.

stout beat of the wings, seldom moving in
large circles like other hawks, and when
be does this, it is only a few times in a
hurried manner, after which ho continues
hisjourney." Like Cooper's hawk, it is
veear- BRAVE AND DARING,
and one writer gives the following instance
of its boldness. " A farmer who resides a
fow miles from my office, wishing to per-
petuate the old New England custom of
having to chicken -pie' for Thanksgiving
dinner, naught some fowls, took them to a
log, severed tee neck of one, and threw it
down beside him. In an instant a goshawk
seized the struggling fowl, and flying off
some ten rods, alighted and commenced
devouring his prey. • The boldness of the
attack so astonished the farmer that he
looked on with black amazement. Recover-
ing his surprise, he hastened into the house,
and brought out his gnn, which secured
him bath hawk and fowl." The goshawk
was much prized in olden days, when hawk.
ing was an almost universal sport. Though
not belonging to the true falcons, which
were noble hdwke,' it was still a favorite
bird with which to take hares and rabbits.
In the noble hawks the second wing feather
is the largest, and they have dark hazel
eyes ; while the ignoble ones, euoh as the
goshawk, Have the fourth feather, longest,
and their oyes aro yellow or orange. In
England differenb birds aro allotted to
different persona, according to their rank
,end station. Thus royalty might use a
gyrfalcon ; an earl a peregrine ; o yeoman
a goshawk ; a priest a sparrow hawk ; and
a knave or servant a kestrel.

alarming mortality. In this case at all
events the public will desire to see the

Dir. W. S. Barker is a young
minister of Peterboro who has by his
great earnestness and able exposition
of the doctrines of the Bible earned
for himself a plane amongst the
foremost ministers of Canada. He,
with his most estimable wife, believe
in looking after tho temporal as well
as the spiritual welfare of mankind,
hence the following statement for
publication:
"I have much pleasure in re-
;ommending the Great Swath Ameri-
un Nervine Tonic to all who are
filleted as I have been with nervous
prostration and indigestion. Ifound

I must say, was completely run down

and also cheerfully recommends it
to her fellow -sufferers.

It is now a scientific fact that cer-
tain nerve centres located near the
base of the brain have entire control
over the stomach, liver, heart, lungs
and indeed alt internal organs; that
is, they furnish these organs with
the uecoisary nerve force to enable
them to perform their respective
work. When the nerve centres are
weakened or deranged the nerve
force is diminished, and as a resnlil
the stomach will not digest the food,
the liver becomes torpid, the kidneys
will not act properly, the heart and
lungs suffer, and in fact the whole
system becomes weakened and sinks
on account of the lack of nerve force.
South American Nervine is based
on the foregoing scientific discovery,
and is so prepared that it acts
directly on the nerve centres. It
immediately increases the nervous
energy of the whole system, thereby
enabling the different organs of the
body to perform their work perfectly,
when ri;ease a- once disappears.
It greatly benefits in one day.
Mr. Solomon Bond, a member of
the Society of Friends, of Darlington,
Ind., writes: "I have used six bottles
