Query about Feeding.

very sensible correspondent of the
Springfield Republican writes as follows
"Will it pay to buy young cattle in the fall
to eat the coarse fodder, unless you can get
considerable more than the manure they
make? Some assert that it will pay better
man believes that it will be better for his
farm to spread the coarse fodder in the yard,
until it is sufficiently rotted to take to the
field, than to have it pass through CATTLE un-
less he can get thirty cents week for year
lings and forty-fve cents for two-year-olds,
besides the manure they make. When fod-
der passes through cattle, they get all their
living from it as well as their growth, and
what the cattle extract from the fodder GER
tainly cannot be in the manure. Just the
amount of sustenance the cattle draw from
the fodder it may be difficult to decide. /
think, however, that there can be no ques-
ton that the cattle draw three-fourths of its
strength. Hence it follows that the farmer
who gets no more for his cattle in the spring
than he paid for them in the fall loses three
fourths of the value of his fodder as a ma
nure, besides the work of dealing it out to
them. viii not some agricultural insttu-
ton take hold and investigate this subject
thoroughly, so that farmers may be able to
walk by the light of science, instead of crop
ing their way only by the aid of uncertain
experience ?"
Nothing, we think, would be more absurd
than to try to increase the manure pile by
the method referred to. The time and fod-
der would be wasted, the stock starved, and
the manure almost worthless. The only
sensible way-and whether this will pay, or
not, depends upon variety of contingent
cies--to increase the manure pile by feeding
stock is, to buy store beeves and feed them
the richest kind of food to fat them as rap
idly as possible, selling them, to be replaced
with others, as fast AS fitted for the butcher.
To feed poor fodder to young cattle is the
most ridiculous of all ways to get manure

Measuring the Children.

Every New Years Day, papa brings out
three long sticks to measure us children by.
He places each of us against the wall, and
then marks exactly how high our heads
reach We have just been measured; and |
find have grown nearly three inches, and
my sister Nelly has grown just as much as |
have. Albert, who is nearly a man, has
grown less than one inch during the year.
Now three inches does not seem much to
grow whole year; but when papa shows
me the marks on the stick, which he has
made year after year, as he measured our
height, and see how small was when he
first began, think it will not be many more
years. before | shall be as tall as my mother.
Papa says he will keep on measuring our
heights on the same stick, every year, until
we stop growing; and then he will give us
our measuring-rods, and we must keep them
to remember the days of our childhood.
Uncle John has been making collection of
different kinds of wood He saws off
piece of a tree, and makes the cut end very
smooth and then he can count how many
rings of growth there are on it. We find
that some of the rings are not half so large
as others. Papa says this is because in
some seasons there is little rain, and trees
grow slowly. do not believe rain has any
thing to do with our growing; but | could
not help thinking that the sticks which
were used to measure us children would
look, by-and-by very much like the rings
which mark the age of the trees some years
showing larger growth, and others less. |
wonder how much the children who read
this story will grow during this year. |
wonder how many of them know their own
height.-AppedI.

Cows with Calf.

An exchange says "A COW, for six weeks
before calving should be fed on hay alone,
and that of ordinary quality, during the last
two weeks the poorest hay and straw being
substituted and after the calf is dropped for
twenty-four hours she should have little
more than air itself, and then warm bran
mash, After this she may have little hay,
and after another tweDty-four hours it is
safe to begin gradually to increase the food,
until, at the end Of the first week, she may
have her full rations again. Cows thus
treated will seldom, if ever, be troubled with
the 'milk-fever.'" The idea contained in
this advice is good one, but carried rather
too far, we think, We do not believe it is
ever necessary to give a cow poor hay or
straw to prevent whichever. As soon as the
COW is dried off let her have a moderate
allowance of the very best hay, with an oc-
casional mess of bran, and, above all, see
that she does not drink largely (better not
at ally of very cold water. If she is kept
very quiet and carded every day, still better.
Pay constant attention TO the udder and
teats and keep the former free from milk by
frequent stripping, If necessary. This is
perhaps the most important precaution Of all,

A Boys Character.

He came into the school that first day of
the term. had never seen him before but
from that first day never grew tired of his
face. 1t had always a CHEEKY, restful light.
And was not long in learning that he was
one whom | could trust every time, for he
never failed me. In his lesson and his play
he was true to himself, his mates and his
teacher. Of course his progress was rapid
and his success sure. found that all
through the neighborhood his reputation
was established, and from the Oldest to the
youngest all trusted him. | have not told
his name--l have no story to tell of him !;
nothing, save of his patient continuance in
well-doing, and the predictions of all his
friends, that he will make noble man
such as the world needs. What then
Why, is it nothing to have found and
known such boy? Is it nothing to have
such a character in boyhood as he has won :
o boys, it is worth more than gold, more
than fine clothes, more than all your Holt
days and all your amusements put together.
1t will serve him when all these will be
counted as nothing. Through all his life,
wherever he is placed, it will command
wealth and honor, and love. The doors of
true nobility, of the best society, of the
richest culture, will fly open before it, All
the pure and beautiful aud true are drawn
to it like steel to the magnet.

could realize that they are building up FOL

such use and beauty as to delight and ben

future regret. E. o. p.

that fruit-growing was on the decline in this

treatment. | would have the land under
