ARCADIA. 0. Srnt. . Isl


EDs. JKFF.-The country presents
quite lively appearance just now. The
farmers are busy cutting corn and SOW
ing wheat The farmers are be>towing
ground this year, having realized the
fact that they can only obtain good
yield in this manner. The slight showers
of rain which fell last week were much
needed. Water for stock is quite scarce;
many farmers have also found it neces-
sary to feed their cattle owing 20 the
shortness of the pasture.
The picnic, held near Marion Chapel,
last week, was "A very pleasant affair.
The attendance was not as large a. was
expected, owing to the weather having
an appearance of rain. DIR. Jones, of
FindIay, delivered an interesting address
on the occasion.
\ party of the Arcadia boy, engaged
in game of base ball last Sunday
They seemed to have hut little regard
for the Sabbat! Themselves. and their
conduct was a great annoyance to other
people. We hope they will not repeat
the game again on Sunday.

FEEDING Cows WITH HMEAL.-A dairyma
says, as there have undoubtedly been cases of
injury from high feeding, farmers should
learn that meal should be fed understanding
ly. The effect of the feed should lie watched,
and if there are any indications that it il in
furious, it should be reduced or changed AZ
once. If the meal has been fed dry, 1t may
be well to mix it with water for Jew days,
and notice the effect, II auy, of the change.
Or wheat shorts or rye meal may be substitu
the for, or mixed with, the meal. Either Of
these will probably cause cows to give larg-
er quantity of milk, but they will not keep
in as good flesh as they VIII on corn meal
alene.
In my practice aim not only to keep up
the flow of milk, but also to keep my cows in
good condition. To attain these results,
consider either grain or roots absolutely nee
essary. prefer, and consequently usually
feed, clear Indian meal. To cows which are
drying up give two quarts per day, feeding it
dry. To new milch cows l give from four to six
quarts, mixieg it with water. do not often
feed more than four quarts day, and think
there are but few cows which are well fed
with hay and cornstalks, which can eat more
than SIX quarts a day without injury When
rye is worth no more than corn, 1 sometimes
use half rye and half corn, and feed to new
milch cows only about six quarts a day; but
when rye is worth more than corn, rather
sell than feed 1t to COWS,

The Oldest Timber in the World.

Probably the Oldest timber in the world
which has been subjected to the use Of man,
is that which is found in the ancient temples
of Egypt. 1t is found in connection with
stone work which is known to be at least four
thousand years old. This wood, and the only
wood used in the construction Of the temple,
is in the form of ties, holding the end of one
stone to another in its upper surface, When
two blocks were laid in place, then it appears
that an excavation about an inch deep was
made in each block, into which an hour-glass
shaped tie was driven. 1t is, therefore, very
difficult to force any stone from It's position.
The ties appear to have been the tamarisk, or
shittim wood, OF which the ark was construct
ed, sacred tree in ancient Egypt, and now
very rarely found in the Valley Of the Nile.
Those doyetailed ties are just as sound now
as on the day of their assertion. Although
fuel is extremely scarce in that coun.ay, these
bits of wood are not large enouge to make IL
an object with the Arabs TO heave on layer
after layer of heavy stone for so small prize.
Had they been OF bronze, half the old temples
would have been destroyed years ago, 50 pre-
cious would they have been for various pur-

DoN'T ABUSE THE OLD HORSE The
cold winter has come, hay is high, and grain
costs tine dollars, and many old horses, II
they could speak, would say, 1--WE dread the
winter" If the old faithful servant that has
worked for you so many years is not quite as
strong, or quite as fleet as in years gone by,
perhaps he is worth as much to you as to
anybody. Good care and generous feeding
will make even all old horse more valuable
than if starved or abused. If your business
requires younger and smarter horse flesh,
keep the old one for the women or children
to drive. Old acquantances are often safer
than new ones. If you cannot keep both,
give the old one TO some old farmer who you
know will be kind 10 him, with the promise
that he shall not trade him off to some brutal
master, but will keep him as long as he is
worth keeping, and then kindly lay him

lected as soon as they begin to show signs Of
old age.-N. H. Farmer. ..-
