hay as short as oats, or shorter, and mix
with bran shorts. or middlings and feed
as other food. Hogs soon learn to like
it, and, if soaked in swill as other slop
food, is highly relished by them. In
winter use for the hogs the same hay
you feed to your horses and you will find
that, while it saves bran, shorts or other
food, it puts on flesh as rapidly as any
thing that can be given them. The use
of hay can be commenced as early as the
grass will do to cut, and when run
through the cutting box can be u.ed to
advantage by simply soaking in fresh
water till it sours
This is the most trying season of the
year for cattle, as sudden changes from
green to dry food are very injurious.
house them nights and feed hay morn
ing and night with roots at noon-time.
Do not keep them in the pastures when
the frost has stolen all of the sweetness
from the grass. And do not turn them
out into the yard when the sun does not
shine or before noontime when it does.
Two Or three hours in lie middle of the
day when it is bright and sunny, is all
they require, and the roots should be fed
to them at that time. Warmish water
is always better for them than that
which is icy cold. A pailful of hot
water is easily obtained After GER
tain age COWS and oxen should be stall
fatted and killed. 1t is the poorest
economy to keep either old or inferior
animals. They eat more than they can
supply and you are the loser.
IT is common practice among some
dairymen to give their cows, while dry,
but scanty living. When cow ceases
to give milk, or is dried up, any food is
considered good enough for her. ]
think this is great mistake, and the re-
suit is diminished product of milk,
both in quantity and quality when she
does come in. There is great draft on
the system to sustain the calf while the
cow is carrying it, and to keep the cow
in good condition good feed is as impor-
tant as when she is giving milk. 1t is
my opinion that ST. worth of food when
cow is dry is worth 81 so when she
comes in. An animal in poor condition
can not digest as much food as an
animal in good condition. If the cow
is poor when she comes in she will not
digest enough food to digest the system
and, at the same time to make a large
quantity of milk.

Tenacity of Life In q Beetle.

A correspondent of Notes and Queries
gives the following remarkable instance
of beetles tenacity of life: A relative of
mine, while recently cutting loaf of
bread, found embedded in it beetle.
A small portion of the loaf with the
insect on it was cut out entire, and after
a lapse of about five minutes the beetle
began to crawl out, apparently mono the
worse for it's incarceration. 1t is, of
course, we'll known that beetles are fond
of warmth, but I should not have
thought that one would have SO COM
fcrtably survived some hours spent in q
living tomb, escaping the danger of being
crushed to death in the making of the
bread, and subsequently the risk of being
killed either by sufocation or the heat
of the oven.
