The Mortaary Report.-Only six inter-

last month, but this does not represent the
number OF deaths in the city for that Pc
riod. No record is kept at the Auditors

and are inferred at Hollywood and else
where. There were number of such du-
ring November. The oldest person who
died during the month was aged ninety
years. There were several deaths from
Giphtheria-all infants. The condition OF
the city is remarkably healthy for its popu-
lation, which is over 5000.

Management of Cows in August,

uAhAa6CAhChe OA SO"b HI august
The cow, during .lactation, has large
draft upon her food to supply the flow of
milk. If the food is not sufficient to keep up
the flow of milk and also the condition of the
cow, one or both must fall off, and the latter
is usually the result. Good dairymen know
that when a cow shrinks her flow from short
rations, it is almost impossible to regain the
full flow of milk afterwards, even by the best
feeding. 1t is then not the mere loss OF the
milk for short period, while the pasturage
is short, but the loss of large proportion of
the milk for the remainder of the season.
1t the dairyman is prepared to give extra
food at this season of short pasture, beginning
generally in August, and to keep up the flow
OF milk, then the flush feed which comes
later in the fall will keep up his profits from
milk almost equal to the early feed of spring,
The result of whole season-profit or loss
often depends upon the management of few
weeks at the period of short pasture. If the
dairyman has not some green food, such as
oats or corn, to supply this deficiency, then
he should feed grain in small quantity to
carry them over. Cornmeal and wheatbran
ID equal quantities, or bran alone, will
answer the purpose-to keep up the condi-
ton OF the COW and her flow of milk.
We know many dairymen have a consti-
tutional' antipathy to feeding grain in summer
believing that grass is all that is necessary.
and that they have done their duty whether
the COW finds full or short pasture. But as
the cow is kept for profit and not for senti-
ment, every effort should be made to give
her an abundant supply of food to enable
her to pay profit. We have found it profita-
BILE to feed a small amount of grain during a
large portion of the summer, as the cow is
able to digest little concentrated food, be-
sides all the grass she can use and this extra
food pays a large profit, because it all goes to
the secretion of milk.
Dairymen should not study how little a

extra food-that until there is surplus over
the natural wants of the COW, she can secrete
no milk unless she does it at the expence of
her own system. We have noted Instances
where dairymen have produced double the
profit OF their neighbors during the season by
the use OF two pounds of corn meal and two
POUNDS OF bran per day, fed during two
months OF short pasturage, and this after de-
Quoting the cost of the extra food, The
elements of cheese and butter in bran, oat
meal, corn meal, pea and oil meal, cost from
two to ten cents per pound, which, when
elaborated into cheese and butter, are worth
from IL to IS cents, and this is the basis of
profit
