they are crowded rapidly, they al
ways appear weak IN their hind

them entirely. An intelligent
farmer says that he and his neigh

bone-meal in such cases. and find
that a small quantity mixed with
the daily feed will prevent any
weakness and strengthen the ami

To make Il successful and pros

those in any of the other profess
sions-it is necessary not only to
enable him to make improvements
and progress in his profession, but
also to enable him to enjoy the
pleasures which his calling is so
well calculated to furnish. Educa-
ton enables the farmer to become
an ornament to society and to fulfil
the purpose for which man was
created to secure happiness for him

Creator. Let therefore be exploded

Cows.-Now that pastures are
dry and bare, a provision of green
fodder will be found acceptable.
When green fodder is given, a
regular ration of one ounce of salt
daily should be supplied. A COW
giving 10 to II quarts of milk per
day will consume 80 pounds of
green fodder with 1 quarts of grain,
every n hours. When green fod-

keep the COWS in a dark stable
