Keep diligent watch over every ami

thinks every day as to whether his cattle
are growing poor or holding their own ;
whether they have comfortable place TO

Grain for Poultry.-There is no other
grain that is relished so well by fowls as
Indian corn. 1t must always continue
to be, as now, the American poulterer's
main reliance, for, although too fattening
to use in certain cases, it possesses more
nutriment for the price than any other
grain, and is always to be obtained. Corn
can be given ground and unground, raw
and cooked. Oats we prefer ground fine,
as otherwise the hulls are too harsh and
bulky. With wheat, bran and middlings,
wheat in the kernel, barley and buck
wheat, there need be no difficulty in
avoiding monotony. Rye, though the
poorest grain of ali, may be given occa-
sionally, and brewers grains, if conven-
lent

Grape seeds are recommended as an
excellent substitute for chicory, of which
our coffee is sometimes made nowadays.
The grape seeds when roasted and ground
are said to have an aroma like that of
East India coffee, and the taste of the cot
fee made from them is said to be similar.
The only objection to their general use
seems TO be that it would be more diff
cult to get enough of them than to send
to the East Indies for coffee.
A mans first obligation in these un-
comfortable days, is to see that everything
is done to free his family from all manner

needless perplexity. He therefore should

subserve the best purpose, and where 1T

exposing the health of those whose life

Fo77,eys Press says that if the money
