Care of Cows in Autumn.

An enterprising farmer of Western New
York communicated to us recently his
practice in the management of his cows
during the season when grass begins to
fail. He says the great secret of rearing
and feeding stock successfully is, to keep
what you get-to save every pound of
flesh and fat that is produced The ques-
ton lying still back of that is, how shall
the flesh and fat be retained? What to do
and how to do it is the question. Hith-
erto have always commenced feeding
my COWS meal in October, and continued
the regular extra feed through November;
and we made more butter in one of these
autumn months than in any other month
of the grazing season. have pint cup,
with tlaring sides, that holds when dipped
in deep and heaped up full, about two
quarts of good Indian corn and oats, of
equal parts, made of the pure grain.
never "cob" my animals. I am down on
that cob system of management. With
every fifteen bushels of corn and oats l
mingle, before it is ground, about one
bushel of faxseed. This improves the
quality of the feed for animals of any
kind, as ground 1axseed, when mingled
with grain, is far better for mich cows,
for horses, for fattening sheep, or for
young stock of any kind than oil meal.
sow little 1axseed every year for the ex-
press purpose of having the seed to min

Teach Boys the Use of Mechanical Tools.

YOUNG boys should be taught to use
tools with efficiency and skill. Little
shavers like to drive nails. When our
boys were scarcely old enough to handle
a nail hammer we allowed them to go on
the roof of building with us and drive in
single nails after the nails had been
started. By this exercise they soon learn
ed to handle a hammer and drive nails
satisfactorily. Our father used to lock up
his augers and chisels to keep them from
being damaged by the boys. This was
great mistake. We have ever been accus
toned to let our boys have free access to
every tool in the shop. Besides this, they
were instructed frequently in the use and
care of edge tools, as if they were our
equals in life. Such thing as lock to
keep boys from using certain tools was
never seen around our premises. Many
small boys are exceedingly ambitious to
make something But nothing is so dis
heartening as to attempt to do something
and then fail because they have no tools.
When we moved to the city workshop
was provided and tools furnished. The
result was, our boys, as soon as their
school hours were passed, fastened to the
workshop, which kept them out of the
streets, and they never manifested any de-
sire to go to places of public resort. They
have always seemed to find great satisfac-
ton in the workshop. If they had a de-
sire for more tools, which were not ex-
pensive, the tools were purchased. The
result issthey soon had several saw mills,
on small scale of course, trip-hammer,
thrashing-machine, railroad and grist mills
in their shop. If they needed nails, or
lumber, such things were not withheld.
A few dollars expended for set of
mechanical tools for boy is as properly
appropriated as other money that has been
expended for food and Bible. If we had
but 800 to bestow on son, one-half of
it could not be more satisfactorily appro-
priated than to procure $50 worth of
mechanical tools. Let boy have beau.
tiful set of bits, mallet, hammer, saws,
planes, and a bright set of firmer chisels,
and, our word for it, he will make far
better student than if he were required to
make his auger holes with gimlet, or to
cut out plank wagon wheel with an
auger and jack-knife.-N. ". Herald.
