For steady diet to mich COWS we have
never found anything superior to rowen hay.
We like it even better than the early cut first
crop. 1t is finer, more succulent, aud gives
a greater flow Of milk. Cows eat it vora-
ciously, going at it after having been fodders
ed with FIRST crop for q time. with all the
eagerness with which they 90 for grass, when
first let out upon the pastures in the Spring.
But cows, like all other animals, man in
cluded, like little variety. No matter how
good the hay may be a foddering of it, three
times day for two hundred days, becomes
an old story. Mother, 'havn't you something
beside toast and cake for supper? said a
schoolboy. Yes, my son. but is not toast
and cake good enough? They are good
enough for six days in week. but once
week would like to have some mush, or
griddle cakes, or buiscuit. Dry bread crust
would be better than this everlasting toast.
II the cow could speak we have no doubt she
schoolboy.
Fortunately there is no more necessity for
combining cows to hay, good though it may
be, than there is of combining boys to toast
Grain is about as cheap as hay, ton for ton,
and for little bran and meal mixed the cows
will show their gratitude, not by words, but
by looks, and still more en- phatically in the
milk pail We say bran and meal mixed for
corn.meal is too oily, and, consequently, too
heating to be fed to mich cows. 1t pro-
duces rich milk for time, but it drives the
machine too fast. Garget and lnfammatory
diseases are apt to follow its excessive use,
and the COW fed heavily on meal seldom lasts
till old age Bran greatly promotes the Sc.
erection Of milk, aud furnishes an excrement
also rich in saline matter. but bran-fed cows
are apt to run down in flesh. There is not
adpose matter enough in bran to keep up
the vital warmth and rounded proportions
Of the animal Mix meal and bran in equal
quantities, by weight, not bulk, and wet it
well with tend water, and the quantity and
quality Of milk will be increased and the
health Of the animal maintained.
These consequences will still more certainly
| result if once day the COW is fed with q
peck Of turnips or some other roots. All
roots are succulent food, antiseptic in their
tendency, and they max variety which
the animal Justly appreciate.

A BARERAcK RIpsR.-fFrom the Roches.

A BAREBACK RIDER From the Roches.
fer Democrat.l Caleb Harris, of Hudson,
Mich, bears off the palm from all competi'
torsiin the daring and romantic feat of bare.
back riding. He left Buffalo on the 7th in
slant with two carloads of cows purchased
near Hudson, and destined for the line
dairy farms Of Madison county, In this State.
In the early part of the evening the long
stock-train stopped at Fairport, as mir.
Harris supposed, for supper, and he en-
braced the opportunity to look after
the welfare Of his stock. which was in
the forward end of the train. Finding all
in good order, he was abont returning to
the rear of the train when unexpectedly the
train started, as,d so rapidly that he deemed
it hazardous to attempt to get on the ca
boose when it should reach him. Resolved
not to be left, be mounted the train at the
risk of life and limb, and commenced walk
ing back to the.caboose, when he fell and
came near sliding off to the ground. He
now resolved TO make virtue Of necessity
and ride to the next station son deck"
After Drawing the storm, and cold and wind
a few moments he feared he might freeze to
death in that exposed position, and finding q
trap-door on the deck of the sheep-car
On which he stood he decided to ego
below and seek more comfortable quarters
among his woody fellow-travellers. Here
he was foiled again, for the door, firmly fas-
tened with ice or iron, refused 10 yield to his
attempts to force it open. The only remain
ing chance was to-" turn in " with bis horned
passengers snugly slowed away with "eVery
sitting takep," as it seemed to any observer.
1t was short, quick work. The scuttle was
lifted, and he -slighted on the back of a
frisky young Dnrham. She objected to his
rude intrusion In her quiet coach, and COM
menced to kick. She squirmed and twisted
and fdgeted till finding all her efforts
futile, she began to "belIow." It was no
use. The frightened animal was in tight
place, and our hero was master of the situa.
ton, and fully determined to hold out and to
hold on. Time seemed long, but on thun.
dered the train. At length they arrived in
Syracuse, where our friend found a release
from his eatue-car 80 Pullman" to the JOY
no less of his companion In the caboose than
of himself, and now congratulates himself
as the champion bareback rider of the world
having ridden fifty miles in three hours or
the LuRsaddled back Of a cow.

And the precious souls men have to save.
Another hog of different age
Now quickly walked across the stage,
And others following fast and faster,
Net the same most sad disaster,
Until. in fact, In brief, in fine,
I'd killed the rascaily twenty-nine.
