Whole Fodder for Cows.


A series of experiments has been insti-
tuted and carried out by Mecklenburg agri-
cultural society, with view of determining
whether it is better to give COWS their fodder
In its natural condition, as to length, or in
short pieces, as when it has passed through a
hay cutter. The general results arrived at are
thus summarized. First: Whole fodder is to
be preferred because of the saving it effects
without detriment to the yield of milk, or
weight, or general health of the animals,
Second: This saving ia due to the whole fod-
der being better chewed and re-chewed and
mixed with saliva, whereby it is turned to
better account. A distinguished veterinary
surgeon has shown that when cut up fine, a
considerable proportion of the fodder passes
at once into the second stomach and SO is not
rechewed, and is consequently only partially
utilized. Third: The decrease in the amount
eaten at first, observed when whole fodder is
used, is explained by the greater demands
That this makes upon the masticatory appa-
ratus. This is especially noticeable in the
older COWS. Learning, Tor the acquiring of new
habits of any sort, becomes more difficult as
years advance, and learning to chew is no
exception to the rule. Hence it is advisable
to begin feeding whole fodder while the COWS
are young. Fourth: The greater slimness of
the belly when whole fodder is given is ex-
planned by the more complete disintegration
such food undergoes; none of the stems pass
intact, and consequently more or less hollow
into the stomach to distend it and put il on
the stretch. Fifth: The increased desire 20
drink is due to the increased employment of
the saliva. Sixth: The general Improvement
In health and condition under this form of
feeding is due to its being more agreeable to
nature.
A Good Horse
wind" says an old horseman, sis the
grand secret of a fast horse. Good lungs
will cover a multitude of faults; while, on
the other hand, perfection of shape and form
are useless when the wind is out. The chest,
therefore. in all cases, should be large and
capacious. In shape it may vary somewhat,
according to the service to which the horse is
to be put. Ii he is to be kept for slow work
and heavy drawing, the chest may be nearly
circular in form, because this shape is one for
strength and bulk, TO receive and bear I'D a.
gainst the pressure of the collar, while, at the
same time, sufficient room is secured for that
expansion of the lungs caused by slow, regu-
lar work. But if the chest is circular, let it
be at the same time deep, or else the lungs
may be cramped. A horse with a shallow
chest is worthless for any purpose. The rule,
then, is this: For draught horse, a circular
but deep chest; but, as you pass through the
different degrees of speed, up to the racer
and trotter, the chest will increase in depth,
compared to its roundness, until, for the
highest rate of speed, you must take chest
as deep as a greyhound, and at the same
time not lacking in strength"

Take House Cleaning EASY.

Don't tear the house all up from garret to
cellar. Clear one room and put in order be-
fore commencing another. Don't take up
carpets that will possibly do with thorough
dustlng; wiring out mop very dry and rub
thoroughly; they will seem most as good as
new. Carpets are generally worn and torn
more in taking up andputting down than
with six months use in living room. Don't
think your house must ''catch it'' because
some of your friends, with twice your strength
can do theirs; better leave some dust for seed
than SOW the seeds of disease and death in

DEATH IN A DISHCLOTH.

A lady correspondent OF the "Rural
World'', having been started by typhoid
fever in her neighborhood some time ago.
gives the following good advice about
dishclotls:
If they are black and stiff and smell like
a barnyam-it is enough-throw them in
the fire and hcnceforth and forever wash
your dishes with cloths that are white,
cloths that you can see through, and see
il you ever have that disease again. There
are sometimes other causes, but | have
smelled a whole house full of typhoid fever
IN one ''dishrag.n | had some nCighborS
once-clever, good sort of folks; one fal
four Of them We're sick at one time with
typhoid fever. The doctor ordered the
vinegar barrels whitewashed. and threw
about forty cents worth Of carbolic acid
in the swill-pail and department. | went
into the kitchen and made gruel--l needed
dishcloth and looked around and found
several and such rags" burned them
all. and called the daughter of the house to
get me dishcloth. She looked around on
the table. "Why," said she, there was
about a dozen here this morning." and she
looked in the wood box aud on the mantle
piece and felt in the cupboard. well"
said, IL saw some old black rotten dish
cloths as those. and you must never use
such again" took turns at nursing that
family for weeks. ana believe those dirty
dishcloths We're the cause OF all that hard
work.
Therefore, say to every housekeeper.
keep your dishcloths clean. You NAV
only brush and comb your head OH sun
days. you need not wear collar unlcs YOU
go from home-but you mus: wash your
dishcloths. You may only sweep the floor
when the sun gets right; the windows
don't need washing, YOU can look out of
the door; that SPIDERS web on the front
porch don't hurt anything-but as you
love your lives wash ont your dishcloth.
Let the foX-taiI grass grow in the garden
ithe seed is a foot deep anyway. let the
holes in the heels of your husbands foot
rags 90 undarned, let the sage 90 ungath-
cred. let the children's shoes 20 two Sun
days without backing, let the hens set
four weeks on one wooden egg-but do
wash ont your disclO,hs. Eat without Il
tablecloth, wash your faces and let them
dry. do without curtain for your win
dOws and cake for your tea-Dut for heay-
.n's sake keep your discloth clean.

The Shirt OF California.

The spirit of California has been
grossly caricatured. 1t is not land of
profanity and slang, The Dutch Flat
and Mining Camp literature that has
been dishcd up in equal parts of bad
grammer, shrcwdness and blasphemy,
and called touches of nature; the villains
that have been rhetorically made up,
girdled with zodiacs OF knives and re-
volvers; tobacco, bad speeches and
whisky, each worse than the other, in
their mouths, and then tricked out with
some school-girlish poesy of tender senti-
ment for something or somebody, to make
the injudicious suppose that the best way
to brighten little virtue is to PM upon
the dirty blouse of vulgar renegade,
whom nothing saves from prison but
the want of one, these absurdities hGve
tinged and tainted many mans
thought of the country, until when he
comes to see it he cannot recognize it as
the original of his grotesque ideal,
wherein revolving oaths have been sea-
soned to the taste with adroit dashes of
angelic nature, and murders condoned
for the tears of sympathy the rascals
shed for the widows of their victims.
