An experiment was lately tried at the
Munster Model Farm, in Ireland, for the
purpose of determining the quantity of roots
which COW could eat in cold weather,
February also the quantity of milk yielded
and its richness in butter. The following
results were obtained: Each COW, on the
average, consumed from 224 to 264 lbs. Of
roots (mangolds and ruta bagas mixed) per
day, and gave about twelve quarts Of milk.
Of this milk eight and oneffth quarts pro.
duced one lb. of butter. Tho cows were
next fed on 100 lbs. Of roots, five lbs. lin.
seed cake, FIVE lbs. bruised beans, five lbs.
bruised oats and ten lbs. Of hay for each
cow but the difference in the yield Of milk
was scarcely perceptible. Whether or not
the milk was richer, when fed on the richer
food, is not stated. The inference drawn
from this experiment by the person reporting
1t is, therefore, somewhat unreliable, espe-
cially as Il Is at variance with the results of
the very careful experiments of Mr.. Hors.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

The shadows Of lifo surround US on all sides,
and the sweet sunshine Of our existence only
serves to render them more distinct. Indeed,
life may be compared to long avenue Of trees,
in the centre Of which Is broad strip Of glori-
Gus light, and on each side gloomy masses Of
darkness, that seem struggling to meet and de-
YOUR that delicious track Of brilliancy.
So II is with man; on each side Of him are
shadows; but he may avoid them Il he chooses,
or make as much use Of them as the weary trav-
ellcr docs when he shelters himself in their re-
pose from the too scorching rays Of the sun.
Darkness has It's uses as well as light; it is the
carth's couch, and is as necessary to its healthy
existence as light for universal nature is made
up Of friendly extremes.
Not 50, however, reasoned young man, as be

Corn. oats. rye. and barley, are oil more or

Il most preferred. and is most extensively
used. On the other hand, few animals relish
wheat. and without exception always prefer
oats. corn, barley, or rye. where choice is
allowed them. Wheat was designed to sup
DIV the principal bread-food of the most &C.
tive and intelligent portion Of the human
race. Ever since the sons Of Jacob went
To Epypt to buy wheat, with double money
and present of little balm and a little
honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds, y
the whcat.growing farmers could always
find q market more readily than the producers
of any other cereal.
Though wheat is native Of the temperate
zones, yet II is remarkably hardy, withstand.
ing alike the hottest summers and the sever.
est winters. Its range of habitat is more
extensive than that of any other cereal.
From the cradle Of the human race to the
last clearing on our western frontier, wheat
can be grown. While some soils are much
better adapted to its cultivation than others,
there arc few soils so moor that thew cannot.

wheat Is Of very limited extent. It's pro.

has so ordered, that those things which are
most desirable shall be the most difficult to
obtain. As VIC have said, there is compar-
atively little land that will naturally pro.
duce good crops of wheat; but on the other
hand there is even less land which intelligent
and careful culture carnot make to Weld

But youth is ever hopeful, especially when It

met the same fate as his learned composition.

But FRANK was only one among thousands who
