Be SOciable With Your Cattle.

Said farmer TO me, last spring
When we were drawing out manure,
let the boys drive to the lot, and | stayed
in the yard, because could put on better
loads. An the COWS commenced to give
more milksright off," Now this man is
an active, industrious, intelligent, expert
enced farmer; and yet, when he is piling
manure in the yards his cows give per-
ceptible increase in their milk. Why
One of his handsome grade short-horns
that he is so proud of, seeing him around,
goes up to him and says, as plain rs COW
can say: "Give me lock of hay" and
he gives it to her. Another says: Mr..
Stevens, don't you think that rack wants
cleaning out 2" and on looking, he finds,
and wet hay-seeds and rubbish at the
bottom. He scrapes it all out and rubs il
clean with some straw, and as soon as his
load is filled, and while he is waiting for
the next wagon he gets a little feed and
puts it in the rack, and the COWS eat it and
feel grateful. Between the next loads he
takes the curry-comb and brush, and gives
one of the cows good cleaning. The
other COWS come round him, and he has
gentle word and friendly pat for each of
them. He is good looking man, and
the cows ike to look at him. He is a
gentleman, and his presence has a sooth-
ing effect. They chew the cud of con-
tentment and peace. AS he goes past the
pump he asks the cows if they want a lit
tie fresh water. They had not thought
about it, but they drink just little to
please HIM. And so it goes on all day.
No wonder the cows give more milk at
night.-A0ericn Agrtculturtst.

The Products OF Wheat.

Important additions to our knowledge
of chemical composition and the nutritive
value of some of our common feeding
materials for cattle have been made by
Prof. Storer, of the Bussey Institution of
Harvard University, in analysis of West
crn shorts (bran), middlings and shipstuff
Until lately, very few trustworthy analyses
of American vegetable products have
been made, and it has been necessary 10
depend upon tables of European an
alyses for estimates of their compost
ton. The name given 10 the byproducts
from the manufacture of wheat into flour
vary in different parts of the country.
Shorts" and bran are generally
synonymous. Middlings" is usually
applied to a meal.like product, ranking
in composition and tineness midway be-
tween shorts and flour. The terms mill
stuff in Boston, millieed' in Chicago,
and "shipstuff" in the South, seem all to
apply to mixture of shorts and mid
dllngs, which include everything not
Hour that is separated from wheat. On
comparing his own results with the most
trustworthy European analyses, Prof
Storer finds that these products in this
country are somewhat dryer than the cor
responding European ones. Three sam
pies of Western shorts, for instance, aver
age llG5 per cent. OF water, while the
average of European bran was 1924 per
cent. This difference Prof Storer is IN
c.ined 10 attribute to the greater dryness
OF the atmosphere in this country. There
was similar difference in the amount of
aloumiholds, the average in American
shofls being ll.15 per cent. and in Euro
pean bran 1874 per cent. For this two
reasons are suggested First the -four,
which, as Is Familiarity known. contains
less albUminoid (nitrogen) than bran, is
less completely separated from the bran
here than in Europe. Second, Western
shorts often lose weight in storage and
transportation. In standing in heaps they
untreQuent!y heat" and " shrink" to the
extent Of 20 per cent. OF the original
weight. In the process of fermentation,
70 which this is largely due, the albu.
minOids would be found to suffer decom-
position and loss.
Analyses Of Prof. Storer show that
these American wheat products are very
valuable as food for domestic animals.
In the latest tables of Wolf, of the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, at Hohen-
helm, IN Germany, European bran is

what Disease Have

How often do we hear this question asked
by persons suffering. from dizziness and pain
In the head, with a dull stupid feeling, pain
in the side, back or shoulder, a heavy load
on the stomach after eating, faint, all-gone
sensation at the pit OF the stomach that food
does not satisfy, cold, clammy feeling in
the hands and feet, with hot flashes at times,
a bad taste In the mouth, with foul breath,
attended with great depression OF the nerv.
Gus system and evil forebodings, and with q
tired weakness that sleep don'trclieve, urine
scanty at times, with sediment after stand
ing. One physician calls the disease liver
complaint, another kidney disease, another
dyspepsia, and still another impurity " the
blood But none succeed in efiecting cure
The fact is that these symptoms indicate
that all of these diseases are present to-
gether, and to remove these symptoms we
must take remedy that will act upon all of
these organs at once. The best article that
we know Of is made by the Shakers, and Is
