Does it Pay to Mess Cows9

OSo ~ ~ ~ N1VSS SO"8t
This subject was up before the Clor-
iden (Ohio) farmers Club at recent
meeting and, according to the Geauga
Republican, pretty thoroughly discuss
ed. Judge Taylor appeared to think
that there are exceptions to all general
rules, and exceptions to this rule. The
rule in this case he thinks, is in favor
of messing. On old pastures, where
tare is abundant during the flush of
feed in May and June, wet mess of
shorts or corn and oats can be used pro-
titably, but, if the feed ia all green and
fresh, dry mess should be used with q
little hay, to prevent securing.
Every man should be his own Judge
of the feed and the condition of the
stock, and mess accordingly. He does
not think, if a COW is messed judicious-
ly, that it shortens the term of her util-
ity. He once owned a cow that he
messed good deal, and she was a
good cow until she was nineteen wears
old. To make improvement he would
not buy pigs or chickens of miller, or
a COW of man who has kept but one
COW and messed high.
A. d. Hall says he usually messes in
the spring and feeds sowed corn in the
latter part OF summer and fall. Thinks
it would pay to mess through the sum-
mer, if mill feed was not too high and
could be got readily. Sweet whey may
be good to mix with mess. but has
known the milk of a whole dairy spoil
ed by messing with sour, bad whey.
Cows that are properly messed give
more milk in quantity, and better milk
in quality. He spoke of one factory
where they have resolved to mess oil Of
the COWS the coming season, that they
may get more milk, and that each pat
ron may be equitably rewarded 70,

An Excellent Ferfilizer.

The Boston journal of Chemistry
says that as a top-dressing for fruit
trees, vines, gram crops, or garden
crops of any sort, on ground that has
been somewhat exhausted by cultiva-
ton, the preparation described below
will be found very useful. 1t would
improve the mixture, however, to add
to the ashes about a peck of good,
newly slaked lime, which would bring
the potash of the ashes to a caustic
state and enable it more speedily to
soften and dissolve the bones, which,
when lime is thus used, need not be
necessary in the absence of the quick
lime. With its use in this way, and
with sufticiency OF good cnbleached
wood ashes, the bones, which have
been merely cracked up with the ham,
mer, may be easily softened.
Take one barrel of pure, finely ground
bone, and mix it with barrel Of good
wood ashes during the mixing add
gradually about three pailsful Of wa

Lend me light, good friend.
Twas thus We smoked at ease
Before the hurting shell
Swept past and left US these.
Well, well, tia past and gone,
We don't regret the loss
Those chits Who pass us hy
And live their heads toss,
Ten years ago could scarce
Restrain the widest cheers,
When we marched proudly past.
Then We Were volunteers.
When men and pluck were priced,
We gave each what he could,
Our lives were trines then:
We did as brave Tnen should.
When honor spurred our pride,
And men to arms upeOso,
Amid the ranks we met
while battling with our foes.
How many fields We won,
How many losses felt,
More know 30 well as those
Who passed the fiery belt
OF hurting shell aud ball,
on bftsthng bay'ncts crossed,
As man to man we fought,
As ground was won and lost.
Our cars were steeled sgainst
The cries Of these who fell;
Our anger gave US strength
To face the shot and shell.
Our feet were swift and 6rm
To stem tho tide that rolled
Along our broken lines,
Till victory was told.
And when we met defeat,
We held our peace like men:
Kept back the bitter tears,
And faced the foe again.
We never gave it up,
Nor yielded to our fears
The world WA looking on,
And We were volunteers.
And when the shot plOughed through
Our ranks both righ. and left,-
When men foil thick rs leaves
Before the blast that swept
Our ranks aside, like chat, -
Ev'n then we bore in m nd
That time that tries men's souls
Would pay them back in kind.
Hard beds, hard fare, hard knocks,
Twas little else We had
For four long years, my friend,
And then peace made us glad.
Glad though We hoped like toads
On wooden stumps like these;
We soent in for the war,
We staid and conquered peace.
When fever laid US low,
And parched us with its thirst,
Though aching pains shot through,
And racking, did their worst

that which follows the present life, when
the imperfections and infirmities of the

mind was that of Shakespeare. An imag-
