FARM. GARDEN AND OISEH0ID,
Efening for Beef and Milk,

As a general rule, we have not found

something, of course, will depend up
on the price of grain. Where corn is
very cheap, and butter and cheese very
high, it may be made to pay, and still
there IS another object, viz flesh, to be
good, tender, and juicy for food, should
be laid on quickly. Even an old animal

tells IT . farmer who has practiced for
q number of winters past feeding for
beef and milk at the same time. He
made in experiment wear ago in Jan
nary, on a COW weighing abont one
thousand four hundred pounds. He fed
about twenty pounds of corn meal per
day, with what hay she would eat, and
gave her otherwise good care, and
found at the end of the month she had
gained forty pounds, and had given
INN twenty-five pounds of milk per
day which for the thirty days would
make seven hundred and fifty pounds :;
allowing ten pounds to the gallon,
which would make seventy five gallons,
worth say twenty cents per gallon, max
ing ~ even fifteen dollars Cost of six
hundred pounds of meal, say six dol
lars, which would leave, after allowing
Tor gam III flesh and care, handsome
margin. The next month she failed to
eat the same amount of feed, and did
not give as much milk, and did not
gam IN flesh.
Farmers cannot, rs a rule, estimate
milk at twenty cents per gallon, nor at
much more than half the amount. Our
advice would be, when beef-makinc. to
iced Tor that purpose alone, and make
the animal lay on fat as rapidly as pos

5000 rifles from India, and sixty Eng

Ameer OF Bokhara, too, applies to the

the Army Worm.

The army worm is on the march IN
Tennessee, and--carrles everything be
fore it No mortal enginery is suili-
cient to stay the course Of the ihalanS
of ver;nin when once on its course of
destruction. Near Nashville, Tenn,
they crossed river and invaded a GelG
of rye and swept it to the ground. The
man who owned grain fields beyond,
mustered his men and tried to stay the
horrld host. He dug deep ditch and
filled 1t with water, and scattered straw
along the bank and set it on fire, and
yet struggling millions of the worms
got safely through his lines and mus
tered for fresh onset.

California Law Against Betting,

The practice of betting ON elections
has grown to such proportions of late
years IN California that it has been rec
ognized 10y the Legislature as public
nuisance. Persons who may be dis
posed to back their opinions on APP
preaching political contests are remind
ell by the press of that state that the
law declares that every person that
makes, offers or accepts any bet or
wager upon the result of an election, or
upon the success or failure of any per-
son or candidate, or upon the number
of votes to be cast either In the aggre-
gate or for any particular candidate, or
upon tbs vote to be cast by any person,
is guilty of misdemonor. And this
mlsdemcanor may be punished by fine
of not exceeding 50, 600, or imprison
ment for Il term not exceeding five
years. At that price, election bets VIII

The whole area of Maine Is about
50, 600 miles, of which the great prim-
eval OF northern forest contains about
20, ooo square miles. 1t is largely com
posed OF tail pines. There are about
800 lakes III the state, covering nearly
1000 square miles. Nearly ali these
lakes lie at the head OF the rivers which
run tp the sea, and their great altitude
gives to their descending waters an i'm
mense power. RanSely Lakeis 1900 it..
