ITEMS FOR FEEDING DAIRY Cows
a good butter COW ought not to eat less
than from six TO eight quarts of meal
per day, but not clear corn meal. Bran
is not worth much to make butter, but
mixed with corn meal gives health and
thrift. The meal, If fed alone, passes
directly into the "third stomach, :"
without Temasticatiou. The water the
COW drinks may increase the quantity
of milk, but it will not produce butter.
Meal fed with hay, cut fire and wet
down together, gives good returns.
DO your cows drink ice water in the
winter, and with rainbow backs stand
shivering i'm the cruel blasts of a fierce
northeaster? They will burn the dol
lar that might convert failure into sue
cess, to keep themselves warm. DO
you feed without racks n muddy barn
yard? Then the dollar that might make
you successful, is daily trampled into
the mud. DO you feed your COWS
but hay and straw in winter, and keep
them on short pasture in summer?
Then you neglect to put dollar into
the expense scale that might put two
or five into the other scale.

AGRICULTURE.

REARING AND BUYING CATTLE,-In
many parts of the country IL is a very
general practice to almost entirely sep
arate the business of breeding and rear
ing cattle from that of fattening them.
similar division Is, or has been, very
commonly made as to rearing and using
dairy cows. Farmers on whose fields
are TO be found hundreds OF steers
often do not rear even one calf; rely
ing on purchasing, either In small lots
from farmers who have grown few
steers, or buying "store steers" In the
great markets, as at Chi ago. I'm
uoubtedly this practice has often given
larger profits than could have been re-
ailzed II smaller stock had been rear
eu ana ied on the same farm, Nor Is
the practice one which can be opposed
as necessarily contrary to sound bust
ness principles. Some localities and
some farms are better II tied for rearing
stock than for fattening them, and the
reverse Is equally true. Oftentimes
the FEEDER OF large numbers of cattle
can DO the work with less expenditure
than can the small farmer with a half
uozen mead or even a smaller number.
but while all this Is true. the safe plan
is certainly to combine the two branch
es OF the business as a general rule.
rms Is especially true at times when
profits promise to be small at best.
within the past year or two, for In
stance, the cases have not been rare In
which the purchaser Of lot of steers
mas round the selling price, after they
mad been kept for some months on
grass or grain, to be little if any above
the price paid Tor them. II may be
that the cases are equally numerous I'm
which the seller of ".store cattle" has
not received as much as they cost him.
But IL is clearly true that the man who
both rears and feeds, stands better
chance OF making at least small profit,
from one or the other, than If he con-
fined himself to either one. The loss
on the one may be balanced by gain
on the other.

CELLARs.-There are hundreds of
houses in the country, that are built
over dark, noisOme holes Of dampness,
impure air, decaying vegetables and
rotting timbers, says the American
Builder. These holes in the ground are
called cellars, but they are so unsuited
for the purpose which they are design
ed to serve that they deserve rather to
be called "death-traps." Light is as
essential to the healthfulness and pur-
ity of a cellar as 1t Is to the dining
room or parlor. The requisite of a
good cellar are freedom from dampness
light, and & temperature low enough TO
prevent decay, and there is no difllcnl-
ty In securing these conditions if cell
lars are only constructed above ground.
Dark, close houses are VIGOROUSLY un-
healthy, and every possible device is re-
sorted to light and admit air currents
In them; yet we see cellars that are a
hundred times worse than the darkest
of houses left without light or ventila-
ton, to breed the germs of disease and
death. All houses require cellars, both
for the storing room they afford and
their contribution to the comfort and
health of the dwellers; but there is no
reason why sanitary laws should be set
at defiance In their construction, Meth
er is there any necessity for cropping
about in darkness, and, besides, when
light IS admitted there is an immunity
from the danger of fire which attends
carrying a light into darkness, and
which, from accident or carelessness,
results sometimes in disastrous fire.

POTATOES UNDER STRAw.-The Gull
ture of potatoes under straw Is a sim
pie matter. The seed should he placed
on the surface of the ground, at short
distances apart, say rs inches, and then
carefully covered with straw. III the
ground is comparatively free from
weeds, the straw need not be more
than six inches thick; but If the land
is very foul the covering of straw should
be at least foot deep. Rye straw, if
it has been bound up, will lie closer,
more solid to the ground, and need not
be so thick. The light must be exclud-
ed from the potato, and it will grow
and take root in the ground. There
must be straw enough to produce dark
ness, and that is all that is required.
The straw does not turn to mould dur
ing the season, but packs down and af-
lords complete protection, so that the
hills of young potatoes form on the top
of the ground with nothing over them
but the mulch made by the straw. OF
course, there is no cultiyating or hoe
ing, but if weeds make their appearance
above the straw they must be pulled
out.

FACTORS AND BROKERS.

Yesterday at noon there was q meeting OF
the cotton factors at the Cotton Exchange
rooms. for the purpose Of considering again
their action abolishine the quarter OF per
cent brokerage from and after the first Of No
vember next. The call for this meeting was
provoked BY communication on the subject
by the brokers.
Many OF the factors were disposed to re-
consider their decision, Or. rather, POSTPONE
It's execution till the month of January. for
the reason that 1t would iniure tie smaller
brokers. After some discussion. however. the
communication of the brokers was construed
as threat. implying that the buyers and
brokers would. Ii not given satisfaction. use
their majority in the Exchange to break It uD.
It was thereupon resolved to maintain the de-
csion Of the cotton factors, as published by
them, that from and after the first Of Novem-
Der next the factors would hot pay the quar-
ter OF / per cent to brokera or buyers, and
would not charge same to the planters.
AN EVENING CONSULTATION.
Last evening a committee, composed Of
prominent factors, met at the Cotton FIX
change to consider propositions rom tue
brokers, but after prOtracted consultation
they declined to indorse any OF the PROPOSE
lions submitted and failed to agree on
recommendation and they adjourned with
out having accomplished anything.

ALL SAINTS DAY,

Tomorrow ls day sanctfied by the most
holy associations, for 1t is cotisecrated TO the

OF loved eyes that once beamed and are now
closed forever2

ers the graves Of the departed. Their beauty
and fragrance are fit emblems of the purity
Of grief and the brightness Of hope. Grief

gent with the glowing idea of future reurion.
Then let our people take all the flowers OF the
land and strow them over the graves OF the
loved ones departed. Let the tear Of Love,
the prayer Of Faith and the smile Of Hope be-
dew, consecrate and illumine the cities Or the
dead.
Greatpreparations have been made through
out all the mournfu resting places III our
city. The tombs have been repaired and
freshly painted, the Expresses trimmed and
everything is ready for the greetiRn from the
