then cast it away with pang OF de-

complied directly, and found there q
group of seven little girls, ragged, dir

was accustomed TO sec. Tho Judge
pointing to them (uttcrly homeless and
friendless), said -

Certainly, can take them all,

"Alll What in the world can you

AGRICULTURAL.
Care Of Dairy Stock.


At this season of the year, says the Amer
lean Cultivator, there is nothing on the farm
recurring more care than dairy stock. For
merly the intention and practice OF the
farmer was to have his cows dry at this time
of the year, in many cases not even reserv-
ing one COW in milk for family use during
the winter. Now this industry has changed;
butter can be made and sold as well in win
ter as in summer, while in point of fact 1t
can be made better in the coolest months OF
winter than in the hottest months of sum-
mer.
In the former case, this can only be sue
cessfully carried on through the use of warm
barns, which should never be SO cold as to
permit water to freeze within their walls.
Cows should not be allowed to run out in the
mornings after the grass has been much
frozen, as such feeding will give disagree
able flavor to the butter. Permitting dairy
stock to range over the fields on a cold raw
day. will shrink the butter supply far more
in value than the benefit to be derived from
any extra food supply obtained in this meth
Cd There is little if any butter in frozen
grass. A cold barn will materially shrink
the butter product.
With warm barn, daily feeding OF four
quarts of shorts, two quarts OF Indian meal,
half peck of carrots Tor peck of mangels
fed two months from now,) some early cut
hay and foddering of well-cured cornstalks,
sweet corn preferred, will keep up good
flow of milk, and yield good results III but
ter. 1t is not advisable to allow the stock
to remain out long in the yard during the
winter season, even though the sun may be
shining brightly, since there are often cold,
chilly winds even with sunshine, while on
such occasions the cows generally huddle up
in a sheltered corner. Better far to keep
them comfortable in the barn, permitting
them to take their exersise while going to
the spring for drink. Finally, do not neg
lect using the card or curry-comb upon the
cows, if not every day, then at least three to
four times week. Remunerative results
can only be secured through good care and
intelligent management.
