winterinE stock.


! At recent meeting Of the Sheboygan
County, Wis) Farmers Club, the sub
iect Of the most economical mode Of win
tering stock was taken up.
Mr.. Whiting said two years my oats
vera nearly cut Of, not weighing over is
or 20 pounds to the bushels, with straw
very light and short, Cat up the oats in
bundles and put III few shorts, and was
satisfied thatthey went nearly as far again
as to thrash and feed the oats, and horses
were in better condition than when fed
on hay and oats as has always been ms
practice.
E. i. Barrows recommended warm
but well ventilated stables, and stated
that he was now wintering bis
COW on unthreshed oats, CIT up with The
straw, at the expense Of Sc cents week
having paid "a cents bushel for oats,
not pound being wasted. The result
is highly satisfactory.
Mr.. Scribne- stated that you can keep
stock cheaper and better on wheat chat
and bran than on hay and oats. Feed
for yoke Of oxen or a span Of horses,one
bushel chat, and one peek bran twice
\ day, and straw at nooa. Wet the chat
and then put on the bran with salt occa.
sionaly; and ii i very lseaE,hy aud salts
factory food.
Mr.. Whiting concurs with the above
s.atement, il agreeing with his experience.
W. ID. Kirkland states he has half a
ION shorts, 2 bushels corn, and Q bushels
oats, to be ground and mixed together,
and feed straw. How much must be put on,
AMI shall The straw be wet with hot OF
cold waterl
Mr.J. Richardson answers, 4 quarts a
day aud hot water if possible.
Mr. Ashcroft If corn stalks are well
cured and cut up, my experience is, that
cattle will eat them all up.
Mr. ID. Knowles-WilI cattle eat feed
when it is wet up and fTozens
Mr.. Denison-In very cold weather,
mixes hav and straw together and cuts
them; but finds it a job 10 cut food foi
his whole stock, and few ofour farmers dc
il; yet thinks il good plsn to cut tne
and feed it moist ard warm, but finds II
difficult 10 do so cuts feed in proportion
TO his leisure time.
Mr.. Whiting thought one-third of the
value Of food might be saved by sieamire
but It was expensive to prepare for it.
Mr.. Richardson topped half his corn anc
put tops in barn, then cut up the res
and put straw with it. Cattle eat tina
which was toped clean, but will not ca
the other without cutting.
= Mr.. Albright said he fed few stalk
at a time, and in good season cattl'
will eat well and clean, if not cut; hi
cattle are now doing we'll on them, anC
he would not ask to have them cut. I'll
would feed them ia cold dry weather, ant
never o-er feed his stock.
Mr.. Paine has fed his cattle nothin!
thus far this winter but corn stalks, stray
and chaff, found when fed uncut bis cattl,
wasted more than half the stalks, but 70
two weeks he has cut and mixed hal
straw aud half corn stalks, and his stocl
eat all up and were never doing better a
this season Of the year, and bis cows give
as much milk as under any treatment b.
ever tried.
! Mr.. Scribner finds uniformity ia time
in feeding to be advisable; thinks it takes
less food.

sold TO various parts Of the South, until
only little Pink remained. The child was
aiken care Of by hef grandmother, who re
celved oft-repeatei assurances from The
owner that little Pink should never be par

DAYS, arrangements were made to sell the
child for $50. Ii was thought that wher

The girl was yesterday morning intfodue

At TIE close ofthe morning sermon, tho
pastor, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, took
the child into the pulpit, stated the casf
to the congregation, and made an eloquent
plea for her liberty, which drew tears from
many eyes. The collection plales were
then passed, and re.urned well laden witt

before the close Of the service, but lad,
in the audience sent word to the pasto
that she would make up the deficiency, il

was received with an irrepressible demon
