cause. The pulpit, the bench, the bar, the
medical profession, and the teachers of

Feeding Dairy Stock.

The following is the plan of winter
feeding of dairy stock used by the Hon.
Harris Lewis of New York. ..r
% ''At five o'clock in the morning feed
all the good hay that the cows win eat;
clean back the manure, and milk. After
milking attend to the hay, and if more is
required, provide il After breakfast
commence watering by turning the young
stock out first, and then the older, those
in each stable by themselves, cleaning
and busting the stable while the occu-
panls are out II the weather is stormy
however, no more are let out at once than
can drink together, and put back in the
stable immediately after drinking, where
each one finds a small lock of hay in the
manger.
Soon after noon each COW receives a
peck Of sliced roots; but not more hay
until nearly five o'clock in the afternoon
when they are all fed all the hay they
will eat up clean.
For old COWS, and those that have
MIXED down thin, meal may be fed with
the roots to good advantage in quantity
to meet the requirements of the COW.
But I am decidedly in favor of feeding

is usually termed coarse fodder. These
dairymen pity much, but their cows

Trimming Fruit Trees.

As this is the season for pruning or
chards we give the following which we
find in the Cincinnati Commercial.
"The skillful gardener when pruning
trees will use his judgment, SO that the
cut where the branch Is cut from will heal
over with new bark. This should be
aimed at in every instance. We will
here give general rule, though subject
to variations.
Branches from one to three inches in
diameter should be cut almost on level
with the trunk or arm; larger branches
should be allowed from a quarter to half
an inch between the cut and flush OF the
trunk or arm. II o fold of bark and
wood has formed at the junction of the
branch and arm, allow more space. If q
surgeon amputates q human arm he will
make calculations to leave enough flesh
and skin to heal over the bone; indeed it
would be ridiculous, If the bone was left
protruding.
So, also, should these principles be sp-
piled in amputsting branches. In the
place of leaving dead, ugly stump pro-
truding, cut rather close than otherwise;
the bark will fold over. in most cases;
make clean smooth cut, without crack
ing either bark or wood, and your trees
win 60 on as nature intended them, rich
In productiveness, rare in beauty and or

Scribner's for March contains the first
of the illustrated papers on the Drama.
The subject is Modjeska, and tells US
more than we had before seen about this
talented woman. The three portraits of
her are well worth seeing. There is an
account of the pastoral life of the ac-
tress and her husband on California
rancho, which they were not sorry to
give up and Madame prepares herself to
play in San Francisco in English. ,
The dramatic interest of "Hawarth"
is sustained in the chapters of this num-
ber, and few passages in fiction are better
drawn than the interview of Haworth
and little Janey Briarly in which the un-
conscious struggle between her untutor-
ed directness and bonestloyalty to "Mas-
ter Murdoch" and her prematurely dsvel-
'oped thrift are strikingly shown.
"a College Camp at Lake
George, ..The Old Mill at Newport, I"
"a Buffalo Huntin Northern Mexico" and
Lawn Planting for Small Places" are
prominent illustrated papers. -. D..

tern Schoolmasters," and ..De Gustibus"

Stockton has another of the droll "Rud-
der Grange Stories" entitled "Pomona's

up their usefulness as follows: IF you'd

or to persons In the ha0lt OF becoming lntox-
Gated. viii venture to say that no member
of this honse will object to these provisions.
No sane man will contend that Intoxicating
liquor should be sold to either of these class
es. Sections substantially like these have
long focmed q part of our Ohio law, where
they have produced excellent results in pro-
tecting those who are least able to project
themselves. Section provides suitable
penalties for the violation of the provisions
of sections and 2. .;...
The object of section four is to break up
those places where Intoxicating liquors are
sold contrary to law. These places defraud
the revenue, 6emorsijze our youth and pro-
mote lawlessness aud disorder generally. To
ihe evils of dram selling they add the moral
degradation which comes from concealment,
evasion of the law, and attempts to escape
the police. Heretofore the right of the po-
lice, under the law, to enter these places for
the purpose of exposure and prosecution has
not been clear. This section, properly enough
gives the same right to the police to enter
houses of this kind that they already have to
enter gambling houses or places where lottery
tickets are sold. II treats the implements Of
the trade in these unlawful rinkiug houses
as affording 'prims fscie' evidence, as ip the
case Of burglars tools and the furniture Of
gambling houses, that an unlawful business
is carried on.
Under this section the msior of police Is
authorized to send members OF his force to
enter all premises where intoxicating drinks
are sold contrary to law, to arrest all persons
engaged in the unlawful traffic and bring
them before the police court, and to seize
the Intoxicating liquors and convey them to
the Office of the major Of police. The per-
sons SO arrested are to be prosecuted, and,
upon conviction, to be punished, and the
liquors seized are to be destroyed and the
premises to be closed. This is thorough
process, but 1t is necessary to accomplish the
object, and do not see that any well-found-
ed objection can be urged against 1t. No
reason can be given for making this mode OF
procedure lawful against gambling houses,
and other like places that are kept In def
