Spring and Summer Feed for Mich

COws-X. A. Willard writes; There is
a great difference of opinion among
dairymen in reference to the kinds of
grain best adapted tomilch cowsinspring.
If a dairyman has raised and has on hand
a surplus of corn, or barley, or oats, he is
very apt to feed one or the other as best
suits his convenience at the time; and if
grain is to be purchased, the matter of
priceshas more of a controlling influence
than what is best adapted to the animal
economy. Many prefer to feed in spring
nothing but hay if of good quality,
claiming that the cows will be healthier
when turned to grass, and that the net
profits from the dairy will be greater
than where grain is used in spring feed
ing-in other words, hat the value of
the grain fed in spring more than bal
ances receipts from the extra quality of
cream and butter produced, and hence
that grain feeding in the spring must be
very poor economy. Another says that
nothing is gained by having the COWS
d" coming in milk" early in February or
March; they prefer the months of April
and May, as not only more agreeable,
but actually resulting in great profits.
They argue that cows g coming in milk"
early in the season are more exposed. to
cold and storms, which must inJure the
health and weaken the constitution of
the animals; hat it sooner wears out the
COW and yields no more extra net profit
than when a later date is had for begin
ming the business of dairying. Why,
they say, should one do extra work in
milking and nursing stock through the
bad weather of February and March,
when the result from stock calving thus
early not only is no pecuniary gain, but
brings positive injury to the herd
Others, again, insist that greater profits
are realized when cheese and butter max.
ing is begun early in the season. But il
we assume that cows are to come in mill
as early as March, then some kind Of
food other than hay-at least hay a:

TOPICS FOR THE FARM.

Raising Articles for HOgs.-Select a
field that you do not intend to use for
any other purpose, for, when once
planted it is difficult to get artichokes
out of the land. 1t will produce plants
from seed left in the ground. If it were
turned to pasture of course the plants
would soon die out; but it is better to
fence off a portion, pillow it up and plant
it in artichokes, and every fall let the
hogs into the artichoke lot to feast upon
the tubers. Late in the spring pillow and
harrow the lot, keep the hogs out till
fall and there will be acrop of artichokes
again to feed the hogs the following win
ter. If before frost the stalks are cut,
cured and stacked up, they willfurnish
excellent forage for horses, cattle and
sheep. They can be dug like potatoes
and fed to hogs cooked, which is an i'm,
provement. Plant in rows three fee
apart, and fifteen inches apart in tn,
row, and run a cultivator between tn,
rows a few times in the spring to destro.
the weeds.

Satisfy. or Vegetable Oysters.-N

are surprised, says the American Farm,
that this useful and delicate favored
vegetable is not more generally grown.
1t is one of the most delightful of our
autumn and winter vegetables, is as
easily grown as the parsnip, and keeps as
we'll through the winter. 1t gives a
variety when the list of vegetables is
small. All who are fond of fried oysters
should certainly try it. They will be
surprised to find how much of oyster
taste it furnishes. Only the root of the
plant is eaten, and to prevent the roots
from growing forked, as they are apt to
do, the manure must be buried very
deep. The best way is to open a trench
eighteen inches deep, place the manure
at the bottom, return the soil and SOW
the seeds in a drill a little more than an
inch deep, so as to tempt the roots to rur
straight down to it. The drills may be
one foot apart, and when the plants are
two or three inches high they should bt
thinned out so as to leave six inches be
tween each two plants. Sow the seeC
early in the spring, and the roots will b,
ready for use in October and continu'
good through the next winter and earl.
spring. By having the ground covered
with litter before frost, they can be KEEP
and dug whenever wanted. 1t is well
however, to take up a portion befor

Wy, there would be no serious cause for

with the exception. perhaps, of the torDe-
do department., our naval arm is ridicu-

are twenty ships which, in event of war
with any European power, would be avail
able for active service. Is it not about
time that congress took this matter in
hand, and gave it the attention its supreme
Importance demands2 Why not appoint q

such examination is had, we are simply

Our NAVY.

FROM the 81 Louis hepuOllcan.
Secretary Thompson, though as innocent
OF nautical knowledge as he well can be-,
IS throwing a great deal of interesting and
valuable light upon ''the finest navy in the
world" He has discovered that the seven
new sloops of war, built under Robeson' 8
administration, are considerably worse than
any of the old ones. The "Enterprise" Z"
sprung leak on her first voyage, and had
to run into Norfolk to avoid going to the
bottom; the Huron" is said to be so thor
oughly rotten that she will have TO be re.
constructed from the keel up; the Ranger"
IS undergoing extensive repairs in ia
pan, aud the other four are kept afloat al
more or less risk to those on board. Du-
ring the last thirteen years the enormous
sum OF $l30000,000 has been spent in
repairing alone. Here are some specimens
IN that line OF business: The original
cost of the Pensacola" was $500. 600.
She was repaired at a cost of 81 ,OOO, 600.
The original cost of the 'sKearsarge" was
$500 900. She was repaired at cost Of
over $600,000. The original cost of the
'Lackawanna" was $45O,00O. She was re.
paired at cost OF $766,000. And so or

A Scared Conductor.

Sweet are the uses of retributive justice.
In passing through train on the New
York Central railroad to collect tickets,
the conductor encountered, east of Utica,
colored man who had neither ticket nor
medium of exchange, and, after desultory
discussion, stopped the cars and kicked
him off the platform. A few weeks after
ward, the conductor took chair in bar
ber-shop in Albany, under the ministration
of colored man. The barber covered
bis customers face with lather.' whipped
out glittering razor, and, while he was
improving its edge by means Of strap
that dangled from the wall, remarked to
the gentleman in the chair: Say, boss,
you doesn't know me. does you? Does
you remember de fellah you lanlbed from
your train up at Tribes Hill2 Dat was a
bad thing for you to do, sab, an / remem.
bers it well" Right here the conductor
bounded from his chair and danced around
the room with the lather dripping from hi'
chin and his hair standing on end. HI
was finally induced to resume his seat, OF
the barber's pledging himself to do NJ
mischief, but he did not enjoy the shave
and breathed more freely when he was
outside Of the shop.
