We have frequently fattened oxen by
feeding corn-meal. In some instances
one OK would consume fifteen quarts of
sound meal per day. Twelve quarts per
day per OK were no uncommonl large
allowance. III those oxen were not sup
piled with hay they would eat large guam
titles of straw or dry leaves or the litter
from the horse-stables. Their appetite
did not crave more nourishing feed, as
there was as much nutriment in the meal

But the stomach required more bulk.
That concentrated food in the form of
heavy meal needed to be mingled with
some coarse and light material that would
prevent the food lying so heavily on the

Feeding Meal to Live Stock.

The practice of feeding live stock on
corn-meal without any grass, hay or straw
Is not, as l.. w. Miller appears 10 think,
a new and recent discovery. Scores OF
farmers fifty years ago, who are now
among the departed, frequently kept a
portion of their cows, young cattle and
horses on meal and wheat bran without a
mouthful OF hay or straw When the
country was first being settled the pioneers
of the wild old woods often had des-
perate struggle for healthful existence.
Their limited crops were often drowned
out during one part Of the growing season
or dried up by the scorching sunshine and
drought ut other times. TWAS no uncom-
mon occurrence for a farmer to travel
twenty or thirty miles through the forest
10 procure few bags Of meaf to feed his
stock, without hay, cornstalks or straw.
The oldest farmers OF our country are well
aware that live stock will subsist on meal
only. Yet they will all agree that their
stock will thrive far more satisfactorily
If they can be supplied with some grass
or hay also, In connection with the meal
consumed. Many years ago some farm-
ers having only d few cattle were 80 inn
poverished that they were Obliged To go
TO tine forest every day and cut down a
number of trees, SO that their cattle could
forage on the buds aud small twigs.
Strange as il may appear, others carried
their cattle through on browse only, until
grass appeared, without meal, without
bran, without shorts, hay or straw. THIS
practice is one step in advance Of Dir
Miller's practice OF keeping live stock on
meal alone. Bat there was not farmer
in the country who would not aver nj
once that those cattle which had subsisted
on browse would have been more health
full and thrifty If each one could have
been fed few quarts of meal or some
good hay daily In addition TO the bass
wood browse. We have in mind some
INDECENT families having only one COW
who could procure neither meal, fodder
nor browse to keep COW from starvation.
80 the father would shell neighbor's
corn, accepting the cobs only rs remuner-
alton Tor his Smelling the grain. Those
corn-cobs were then broken into fragments,
stepped in hot water during the night or
day, and q few pounds were doled out 10
keep the furnishing brutes from starving
until grass appeared. This was the best
thing that could be done under the cir.
meager quantity Of nourishment, Ms the
chief chemical constituents OF corn -cobs
consist Of potash, A trace OF soda and
woody fiber. Yet the cows survived until
grass appeared. But who would think OF
advocating corn-cobs as an economical
feed for live stock Of any sorty When.
cattle were required to subsist on browse
they allied themselves well Yet would
they not have been far mere thrifty If they
had been supplied with few pounds
OF meal each per dayf Now, then, reverse
the superstition. II those animals had
received no hay, straw, nor other coarse

Some species of trees seem TO be spe-
cially injurious TO vegetation beneath their
shade, and of these the butternut and
hickories, or walnuts, are conspicuous ex-
amples. The fact is frequently noted that
clover, corn and hood crops are especially
liable To injury. We have often seen
clover killed outright around butternut
tree for a distance equal TO the extent OF
its branches, and also presumably of the
underground branches or roots. AT the
same time clover will thrive under apple,
pear or other fruit trees where the ground
Is not unsuitable, and the failure under
butternut and walnut trees suggests the
query whether il IL caused by the roots OF
one Kind of trees eXhausing the moisture
near the surface while the Others draw il
from the suhsoil, or whether IL may not
result from the direct injurious effects OF
the drippings. of water from the leaves and
branches. Many farmers believe that but
ternut and walnut leaves poison the soil
for certain kinds OF crops. In order TO
test this question we are instituting eX-
periments, taking butternut leaves and
spreading them on few feet square OF
clover TO note the effect next summer
II the leaves are really poisonous 10 veg
eJation the effect will be seen away from
the trees as well as near them Our guess
is that the butternnt roots exhaust the sub
soil moisture worse than the Ioots Of other
trees. Butternut makes a poor shade,
and this tends to keep the land dryer
We noticed last fall that young clover Of
last seasons growth grew quite well un'
der but,ernut tree. The bad effect seems
not to be manifested till the second year,
by which time the cloverroots should
strike the subsoii

waiting crop that anything which detracts
from It's growth 10 great loss, and 1t is
highly important that we should know
wherein the injury consists. We are en-,
tirely convinced that fields kept mainly
for tillage should be numbered with few
or no trees, and especially that those kinds
most injurious to titled crops or clover
should be removed. They are as much
worse than rocks In field rs continued
injury is worse than an inconvenience.
BY making the soil less productive, trees
in cultivated fields become one of the worst
obstacles 70 good and successful farming.

sent quite an imposing spectacle. The
chariots, cages, elephant. camcls and
horsemen, will form an interesting scene
and evidently please the larger multitude

keeping his vast hippodrome in New

great show travelling under the able adj

The menageric Is Of unusual extent
and excellence. Not only does 1t contain
fine collection of beasts, with which
people arc generally familiar, but il
boasts of some rare and peculiar features
in animals and birds, not usually found
in the travelling caravan. Cleanliness and
