Dairy Notes.

H. E. Marquet, of Berks county, Pa, is
the owner of the champion COW of Pennsyl-
yania. She is 10 hands high, her weight
is 1850 pounds, and she is really remark
able animal in form and appearance. This
cow is between three and four years old,
has had two calves, one of which was of
extraordinary size, and she is excellent
in milking and butter making qualities.
"A young farmer in Sheldon, VT, bought
a dairy farm stocked with sixty cows.
During two years lie had sold, exchanged,
and reduced the number of his dairy cows,
so that last year he had but thirty-fiye.
He reports having made as much butter
from the thirty-fve selected cows as was
formerly made from the original sixty. 1t
is easy to see that in increased attendance
and diminished cost of feeding, with equal
products, his profits must be largely increas.
ed.
The nervous Temperament of a cow is
one of the first things to be considered in
selecting one for the dairy. A quiet, easy
going animal, imperturbable and careless
as to surroundings, will stand and chew
her cud, and it requires something very ex-
traordinary to disturb her milk manufac-
ture but find one that runs off upon the
approach of any one, and has chronic,
wild and startled look, and in nine cases
out of every ten she will be unsatisfactory
in the dairy.
1T is common complaint among dali
rymen that cows will not give down their
milk, and it would appear from the way in
which the matter is discussed that there
are some cows Of contrary disposition,
that persistently and stubbornly refuse to
part with their milk supply on demand.
There is nothing more fallacious. Cows
have no more the control of the matter
than we have when we sneeze. Some COWS
are more nervous than Others, and in con-
sequence more easily excited.

Improved Propagation by Cuttings,

Peter Henderson described last winter
in the .Agriculturist an improved mode he
was then using for the propagation of ge-
raniums. His object was, in the first place,
to avoid the exhaustion the parent plants
by the removal Of cuttings abruptly and
secondly to make sure work. He takes
the young shoot which is to be used as
cutting, and snaps it short, leaving it
hanging by small portion of the bark
This shred is sufficient to sustain the cut
ting, without any material injury from
willing, until it forms callus, which pre-.
cedes the formation of roots. In from
to 10 days it is detached and ported in Q
and inch pots. 1t is rather less shaded
and watered that ordinary cuttings, and
forms roots in about to 10 days MORE
Last fall Mr. H., propagated about 10000
plants of the tricolor class, without losing
one per cent. With the common method,
he thinks lie would have lost fifty per
cent. This mode is applicable to the
Ambition, Begonia, Carnation, Cactus,
Lantana, Oleander, &C., by using young
unripened shoots. If the shoot does not
break, but simply bends to knee, knife
may be used for cutting about two-thirds
through. $50

Feed for Working Horses.


We may feed too much as well as too
little. We may feed the wrong kind of
food, or at the wrong time This, we
believe, has been sufficiently demonstra-
ted. 1t is in general best to feed horse
less than lie wants to eat; this is to keep
up appetite, an important element in horse
keeping. Secure good appetite and di-
gestion will follow; this to a greater or
less extent; and where digestion is good,
there must good result to the animal. If,
then, the food Is not over abundant, and
appetite and digestion are good, there GER
talnly can no harm result from over-feed.
ing or any of its evils; these are all avoid
ed, and in the horse, as in human, they are
legion, open and obscure. But give fair
quantity ofgood food, and at regular times,
and there will be good eating, good diges-
tlon, and the system will get the benefit
and no hurt. The machine is not over
crowded, but works its proper work readi-
!!y. There is more sprightliness, animation
in the horse, he is not clogged or loaded
down, his system goes off freely, does its
work well, readily and with benefit. The
food is all or nearly all, used to support the
system; it is not to the body as foreign or
unnecessary substance, but it adds, helps
and gives strength. We are always pleas
ed when we see this kind of feeding, as we
do, horse is safe we know; he will do more
work, do it better, more willingly, is there
fore of more service. Ofcourse you are not
to starve him.
We were led to these thoughts by the
instance of a brothers horse, who has
adopted the mode we prescribe He feeds,
during the summer, one bushel of cut hay
mixed with twelve quarts of ground oats
and corn, equal parts, per day. This is
moistened when fed, and fed regularly at
stated times three times day. A DOCTORS
horse-it is worked hard, and it seems
wonder that it should thrive under such
treatment. But that is all the feed it has,
and when it Stacks in work still less is Civ
en-generally two or four quarts less.
When fed, it consumes its food in short
time, and then has the long interval till
another meal to do nothing, and nothing
to disturb the work Of the stomach but
it has much to do, as the business for the
horse is almost a constant one-on. foot q
good deal, and lying down much when in
the stable, no food to tempt it to be busy
when it should rest.
With all this work and this little allow.
ance of feed, the horse is in excellent con-
dition, full in flesh and lively at his work.
In winter he has hay given him uncut, un-
moistened, with about the same quantity
of meal This is done in consequence of
the cold which freezes the moistened mess
1t is held by the owner-who has sharp
lookout for the good qualities of horse as
well as his keeping-that this small allow
ance is of greater benefit to his horse than
larger amount would be. He says he has
tested this thoroughly, time and again.
Horses are fed too much, he thinks, as we'll
as not enough. There is mean in this as
in other things.

Poe tic al.
Falling Leaves.


They are falling, slowly falling,
Thick upon the forest side
Severed from the noble branches
Where they waved in beauteous pride. 9,
They are falling in the valleys
Where the early violets spring,
And the birds in sunny springtime
First their dulcet music ring.
They are falling, sadly falling,
Close beside our cottage door
Pale and faded, like the loved ones
That have gone forever more.
They are falling, and the sunbeams
Shine in beauty soft around;
Yet the faded leaves are falling
Falling on the grassy mound.
They are falling on the streamlet
Where the silvery waters flow,
And upon its placid bosom
Onward with the waters go.
They are falling in the churchyard
Where our kindred sweetly sleep
Where the idle winds of summer
Softly DER the loved ones sweep.
They are falling ever falling,
When the autumn breezes sigh
When the stars in beauty glisten
Bright upon the midnight sky.
They are falling when the tempest
Means like Oceans hollow roar
When the tuneless winds and pillows
Sadly sigh forever more.
They are falling, they are falling,
While our saddened thoughts still go
To the sunny days of childhood,
In the dreamy long ago.
And their faded hues remind us
OF the blighted hopes and dreams
Faded like the falling leaflets
Cast upon the icy streams.

HIS True SroGY-A citizen was yesterday
halted near the Soldiers Monument by
frank-faced old man who had fence picket
in one hand and an old boot in the other. He
said he wanted 10 cents to buy bread with,
and the citizen replied:
Il don't know anything about you. There
are lots ofdead-beats and impostors around"
See here" begBn the old man as he laid
the picket and boot down. Il live on Gro
CHAN street, and Lean take you to forty men
who know it. We haven't had anything in
the house for week. Day before yesterday
| began eating the pickets OF the fence,
while my wife commenced on bedroom
door. l know everybody would think l was
liar, and so | brought one of the pickets
along. There's the marks of my teeth to
show for themselves"
YES, looks as if you had bitten in there"
replied the citizen as he scanned the picket.
Il don't like en-" continued the old man.
''The slivers kinder catch as they go down,
and the paint gives me the heartburn. After
two meals l changed off on to brick-bats. /
see you are astonished, but truth is my mot
to and here is the proof"
He pulled out piece of brick and held it
to the citizens nose. There were tooth
marks, and no chance for argument.
They don't agree with me-" sighed the
old man. The per cent OF nutriment doesn't
hardly come up to my standard, and bad
taste fingers in my mouth. l only ate half
dozen and then changed off to old boots. 1
take one out like this, soak it over night in
strong I've, shake out the pegs in the morn
ing, and then We boil it with an old bone,
sprinkle in q little bran, and thelsoup fills up,
ii nothing more. This is the fourth old
boot, and l suppose L might get along all
right for week or so, but to-day is my birth
day, and thought I'd like little bread to
sort o commemorate the OCCASION
The citizen looked at him, mouth open, and
not a word to say.
Il suppose l might skirmish around and
find an old piece of buffalo-robe and take it
for dinner, but if you had Just as soon lend
me 10 cents | think I'll acceptit.
The citizen handed out the money like a
maR in a dream, and slowing it down his
pocket the old man picked up the boot and
smelled of the heel, lifted up the picket and
bit off silver, and said as he moved away:
If you ever get down to brickbats call on
me for u loan. - Detroit Free Press
