Turning Cows 20 Grass.

In turning COWS to grass, the queS
ton often arises whether it is better to
keep them confined to a small inclos.
ure, until grass becomes SO large and
plenty that they can fill themselves
readily. and subsist wholly upon it,
or to give them the range ofthe whole
pasture, or large share of it, and
let them change gradually from hay
to grass as the latter slowly comes
forward. These questions annually
occur to every dairyman, and are
answered, sometimes one way and
sometimes the other. They are ques-
tons that ought TO be carefully con-
sidercd. Those who favor the prac-
tice of keeping COWS yarded AID en-
tirely away from grass. ill they can
live upon it wholly. urge that the ap
petite of the COWS is so much affected
by taste of grass, tnat they viii so
far lose their relish for hay as not to
eat enough to keep up their flesh and
strength, and consequently are best off
not to taste it at all, till there is
enough for them to subsist on wholly.
This is one view of the question:
Those who prefer letting their cows
run over a wide range and nip the
glass; as soon as it starts, say that it
is better for them, or any other stock,
to change from dry feed to green,
gradually and that the season for dry
food always too long, is stretched to
its utmost, by prohibiting taste of
grass till it is plenty enough to live
upon. - 4s8sa - y s.g1 -
There is some force in this reason
ing. A sudden and radical change of
food, either for man or beast, is al
ways attended with i'll consequences.
The condition of the stomach and
bowels, and the quality of the diges-
tive agents, adapt themselves to the
nature of the food. To break up at
once long established order Of things,
deranges all the operations of the
system and impairs their functions
In turning mileh COWS suddenly to
grass they are usually made sick for
several days. They become uuneryed
and weak, and their milk is often so
much affected as to work badly to the
cheese-yat. for a week or more. A
diarrhea sets in and the loss of flesh,
BY securing. is often greater than that
occasioned by loss ofappetite for hay
have always found dairy COWS to do
better, the season through. to make
the change from dry food to green. a
gradual one. If there should be any
tendency to falling away from scanty
food. it is better TO keep them up by
the use of little grain. than to make
too sudden change. Lire Stock jour

converting the opposition on a contro-
verified point of church ethics. z

and then were gone two or three
months on a wedding tour, before they
settled down to a winter Of soirees, and
gay evenings out. 1t was exceedingly
pleasant for awhile, and Maud thought
her mammals fears entirely uujusrif.
able. She was very happy, and Her.
bert had been extremely considerate
and kind. To be sure, they hadn't
spent half dozen evenings alone as
| yet, for callers had dropped in, when
they had not been at any gathering,
and for quiet, social chat, at least,
they had not found much time. 1t
was exceedingly pleasant to go into
society, and be admired so much; but
by and by it began to grow wearisome
to Maud; the constant dissipation was
tiling her, aud she cared less and less
for it, ane proposed to Herbert to have,
now aud then, quiet evening at home.
But he Was averse to the monotony of
home enjoyments, and Maud soon
learned that he remained very unwil-
lingly, and as anything but the
agreeable companion be was found IN
society. SO she ceased to request him,
and when tired, or indifferent about
going remained alone, while he was
making. himself merry at some batch
elor entertainment, or public gather
ing. .l,
Maud perceived that he had faults
not so easy broken, and that this but
terfiy existence was not always going
to satisfy her. There was no happy
hours together, with music, social chat
the reading of a new book or recent
poem; and so she stifed the better
needs OF her nature, and soon ceased
to care for the things that would have
made her "a betTer and truer woman.
Ten years passed by. Alice Rupert
was married, and to Harry Browning,
who had an hon, before his name.
He was talented, and polished by tray
els, and contact with intelligent minds,
in the world where Mar. Kingsley still
reigned, as one of the queens of fash
ionable society. They often met !. she
looking as fair as ever, save slight
look OF WEAKNESS that often crept into
her eyes when she sat thinking of the
rich possibilities her life once unfolded.
Herbert was as much a society man
as ever, but rurnor said he had run
through much of his fortune. He was
delicately attentive to young ladies,
and, having no talent to put ir use
for the benefit OF himself or the world,
the fnture would probably see him in
the same niche he9ow occupied to the
of himself. if no one else.
And Maud Well, don't envy her, for
we query, she did not regret it'
