Cows As soon COWS put on dry
feed. the milk falls of, but if they are we'll
fed, what ID lost in quantity is gained in
quality. A cow that is milking should have
at least two quarts of mixed corn meal and
bran daily, with much chopped hay as she
will eat. a COW will usually eat two bushels
Of tho hay in a day. Some roots in addition
would be useful. Dry cows should have ono
quart daily; it will not hurt COW to take on
a little fat at this season, nor make her milk
any less when she comes in.

How to Measure Land.

Land can be measured " til satisfactory ae-
ouracy for many purposes by pucinY. Five
PAGES are equal to one Inca. rod. \ man
having long legs will usually measure more
than a rod at five psces, while short legged
man will be obliged to step unnaturalIy long
to measure rod At FIVE PAGES. The correct
way is to measure l6! fee. on level ground,
then practice guaging the steps until one
measure one rod at every Eve steps. Then
one hundred steps or PAGES will be equal 10
twenty rods. II plot of land be two huns
dsed PAGES long aud fifty PAGES wide, call
every five PAGES rod, multiply the rods in
length by the number of rods in width. ard
divide the product by l60. the square rods in
an acre. Thus: 100 PAGES 20 rods, and 80
PAGES 10 rods, or 10 by 20. 200 square rods,
which divided by 16O, t acres.
A square acre is about 20S feet 50 inches

that if the distribution of outdoor relief was

distribution and showed that it averaged 40 to

through public channel was only. an evil; il
was unjust to the poor, to the Taxpayer, and
to the charity commissioners. If the poor
were supplied with COAL the charitable societies
could see that they did not starve.
