Apples for Mich CO,os.

Yes, you need never fear TO feed any
apples to mich COWS, when you have
surplus which you wish to dispose Of
There is an abundance of apples, this
season, aud many OF the earlier ones, es-
pecialy, will be allowed to 20 to waste.
Now if instead Of letting the windfails
and unripe apples rot as they fall, you
would pick thcm up and feed to COWS CIV
ING milk, the increase in quantity would
well repay TOR all the trouble, provided
discretion and good judgment are used /;
nor will the cows be injured thereby. at
least, such was the TACT IN the case which
came to my knowledge 4 few years since
when there was a grest abundance OF APP
pies. | elsewhere mentioned the same
thing at the time, and here give the sub
stance Of the experiment, being personally
acquainted with the experimen'er. The
farmer Wa rising tour-score years and
had a great quantity o. apples, same as
most others IN the same locality. He re-
voIved the question in his mind what to
do With the apples. To make them into
cider was out of the question, for want Of
casks to put it IN Several other plans
were equally impracticable, and finally he
hit Oh the idea of feeding them to his
cows He had one which gave only a
small quantity of milk, and with her he
began bis experiment, thinking, perhaps,
that there could be but small loss should
the experiment prove failure. He COM
meneed by giving two quarts at feed,
and gradually increased 1t up to half a
bushel. The COW began to increase the
quantity of her milk till she nearly. or
quite, doubled in quantity. The milk
and cream was tested at every stage, aud
found to be equally as good as when grass
alone constituted the feed. To make as
surance dOubly sure, he stopped feeding
the apples, and Immediately the COW fell
of in her milk TO her-former yield At
ter few days, he began feeding again,
and former results we're attained. 1t must
be understood that the apples were amix-
ture Of varieties, the majority being sour,
and windfalls at that. Being pleased with
the result thus far, he began to feed them
to his other COWS with good results, the
gain in milk being about fifty per cent,
and the quantity and quality of butter
also increasing in somewhat like ratio.
| would state here, that the grazing was
rowen feed OF the meadow.
The only secret Of success was in COM
nencing to feed in small quantity, and
gradually increasing to the capacity Of
the cows appetite. Now, should any of
your readers try the experiment by turn
iug mis- cows into the orchard, and allow
them to eat at their will, to begin, and
should the COWS be badly injured or killed
thereby, do not throw the blame where it
does not belong. By commencing with
small allowance, once day. the quantity
may be increased daily till the maximum
feed Is reached in one or two weeks, and

HARRY BAssErT, for three years the
favorite race horse OF ihc Eas', died al
the stock farm Of his owner, Colonel Nc
Daniels, near Trenton on Saturday. BY
Lexington, dam Canary Bird, this horse
did as much to establish the fame of that
great sire as any horse that ever started
on the American turf, and his winnings
during the three years be was running did
not fall far short of $4,000. He was
bought by Colonel McDaniels when a
yearling from II. Z. McGrsth, of Ken
lucky, for 1890. At that time he did
not bid fair to make much of race horse,
but as a two-7esrs-old be started with IF
teen horses in the Nursery stakes at Je-
rome. and although not a favorite by any
means came in fine winner. 1t would
be long list that gave all the races that
Harry Bassett started in during the season
Of 1870 and 1871. He was entered in
nearly everything to which he was eligible,
and always came in near the FIRST, although
he won but one more race in 1870, the
Kentucky stakes atSaratOga. His season
Of 1871 ended with winning the great
Bowie stakes at Baltimore, tcur-mile
heats, the winning being $4,000. 1t
was the first aud only time a tire, years
old had been able to endure the long aud
cruel run, but before that he had taken
the Belmont and Jerome stakes at New
York, the Jersey Derby at Long Branch
and the kenner aud Travers stakes at
Saratoga, in all Of them beating fine fields
Of horses. But Bassett's fame was made
in 1872. After winning the sweepstakes
at Jerome he started against Longiellow,
then the king Of the turf. and won the
Westchester cup, two and half miles
Two weeks later, at Monmouth, the two
met again, and this time the Kentucky
horse got away with the rich purse aud
Monmouth cup. The fall meeting at Sar-
atoga brought the two horses together for
the Saratoga cup, and 10000 people wit
messed the gamest race that ever was had
in this country. LongfellOw broke down
ten yards from the string, but was then
TOO far behind Bassett to have won. He
lowered the record of the race that day
three seconds. One day shortly aiterward
Bassett broke down whilst taking his OK
eIcise and went into the stud, but his foal
have not done much to support the fame
o! one Of the hardest, gamest horses that
ever faced starter. Recently Colonel
McDsnieIs had refused $4,000 for the
horse. Six years ago he refused SAC, 900
cash, offered by Pierre Lorillard.

A cable dispatch in another column
announc the death of Mehemet Ali aud
twenty Of his suit at Yacovn, in Albania.
under circumstances that must lead to
an open war between the province and
the Turkish Government. The death of
Mehemet Ali recalls the story of this
Saxon peasant boy from the time he
sprang into the Bosphorus from Meek,
lenburg brig and swan to the barge of
the great Ali Pacha (afterward one of the
most famous Grand Viziers who ever
ruled in Turkey to his appointment last
year as GeneraI-in chief Of the Turkish
armies, and his return. only few weeks
ago, to his native Prussia as Turkish
Pieni potentiary to the Congress Of Berlin.
His family is Of French origin, as the
name. Detroit, indicates. His ancestors
fled from France on the promu cation of
the elict of Nantes, and young Detroit
was born in Madeberg, saxony, in 1927.
His father was staff trumpeter in the
Nicholas regiment Of cuirassiers. and
the youth was apprenticed at thirteen in
warehouse. He soon grew tired Of this
life, and making his way to Rostook ship.
ped as the ships boy on Mecklenberg
vessel bound for the Levant. Like Lord
Beaconsfield, be had marked out his am
bit'on and openly boasted that he would
realize it. Under these circumstances he
started out to become pacha. BY the
daring and carefully planned act above
referred to, after his vessel arrived in the
Levant, young Detroit made bold dash
for the future. Rescued from the Bos-
phorous by Ali Pacha, he cast himself at
his masters feet and said in the family
French Of his Madeburg barracks home,
Il am the son ofa Prussian officer and
Christian, but / desire to embrace Islam.
Take me, good sir, under your protection
He made wonderful progress with the
Turkish language and entered the military
school with the splendid prestige Of Ali
Pacha's favor. He was graduated an
officer in 1853 and participated in the
siege Of SiIistria. The campaign in Mon
tenegro and in Arabia followed, leaving
him colonel in 1868 and making him
pacha Tor generaD in 1865. He distin-
guished himself repeatedly during the
nsurrection in Crete and also in Monte
negro. In 1873 he was appointed to the
chief command of the forces in Thessaly
to stop the excuses of the bandits there.
During the active part of the Russo
Turkish war he commanded at Sofia and
afterward on the LON. While there he
was for few weeks Commander-in Chief
of the entire Turkish armies. His presence
at Berlin is too we'll remembered to need
reference.
