FARM AND HOME.
How to Feed COrn.Stalks Probably.

The rearing and feeding of animals is
receiving, as it should from farmers and
herdsmen in all parts of the country,
greater attention every year; and especial
ly is this true of dairymen, whose only
hope of gain rests in their success in OBJ
tanning paying yields from their cows.
Corn-stalks enter largely into the fall feed
of dairy cows and how to feed them is the
important question. The common prac-
tice is to feed in the bundle, as but few
farmers feel able or willing to use cutting
machine. This feeding in the bundle,
without any preparation, [ am fully salts
fled is very wasteful, as not only are the
butts left, but frequently nearly the whole
stalk.
l have learned by experience that little
brine sprinkled upon stalks once every
day, just before feeding, is of material adj
vantage in many respects. The weak
brine will cause the cows to consume near
ly all, even when fed whole, the flow of
milk increases, the condition of the COWS
improves, and they show greater content
ment especially is this last remark true
on cold, windy and rainy days. l find it
much better as a general rule, when it can
be done, to feed salt on the food, instead Of
feeding it alone. In no case should more
than one day be permitted to pass without
brining the mornings feed. The brine
should not be strong, only enough to fur
nish sufficient salt to the cows.
OF course the cows should have access to
plenty of water; this brine food will cause
them to drink more and thus increase the
flow of milk. Let my brother farmers try
this land they will thereafter place greater
value upon corn-stalks.-LiUe.S Stock, Form
and Firesioye Journal.

Brief Sayings by Josh BilliEgS.

Don't be afraide, yung man, tew make a
blunder once in while not all the blum
ders are made by the sinsere and honest.
l must respekt thoze, l suppose, who
never make emmy blunders, but don't luv
them.
like them kind of folks who, if they
do once in while weigh out pound with
only thirteen ounces in it, are just as apt
to make the next pound weigh nineteen
ounces.
luv my phailings. 1t il theze that
make me pheei that have that touch of
nature in me that makes me brother tew
every man living.
There liz q great deal ov poetry in gin !;
but the poetry and the Gin, both of them,
are kussed poor.
How natural it IL for a man, when he
makes mistake, to kOrrect it by kussing
somebo y else for it.
Pride seems to be quite equally distribu-
ted the man who ownes the carriage
and the man who drives it seem to have it
just alike.
If we give up our minds to little things
we never shall be fit for big ones. L knew
a man ence who could ketch more flies
with one swoop of his hand than anybody
else could, and he wasn't good at amy
thing else.
