in sentiment, he said, were many. First
the opposition was too violent, too UNI
lust, sometimes too extravagant to last
another evidence of the law that reac-
ton of mind follows on great excite
ment. A second reason was the knowl-
edge that came to the nation from expe-
rience as time went on, that the alarm
had, after all. been unnecessary, and that
there had been no reason for the grave
prophecies of danger, and the panic,
fright and stringent measures on the part
of the executive and the country. The
third cause which he indicated was the
conversions, of which there have been
not few. England is not, in the eyes
of Catholics, heather country, needing
conversion as a heather country needs
it; but it is country which knows only
half the gospel, and the mission of Cath
oilcs is to make them know the whole of
it. Fifty years ago, the Catholics in Eng
land were an unknown sect; now there
is hardly family in the kingdom but
has relatives or associates ofthat religion.
Cardinal Newman cites, as another cause,
the great figure presented TO the whole
world by the late Pope Plus TX, and its
effect in favor of Catholics.

There is breed of fowls known in

everything else. They are large, fine
and fat, and from the superior quality
Of the flesh have obtained q notoriety
which commands ready sales at higher
prices than the common bird, when
placed side by side. This is the effect
Of breeding up until perfection has been
nearly reached; for these birds are no
mongrels, but pure and distinct of their
kind. The mongrel never arrives at
that fullness OF perfection that is reached
by the thoroughbred, neither does the
first cross, especially where the cross is
intense. like that Of the Brahma and the

CRIBBING HoRsEs.-A few weeks ago

was a boy he never heard ofsuch thing
as crib biting, and he thought it was
caused bv indigestion. 1t is generally
conceded that indigestion is the cause
producing irritation and uneasiness, ond
impelling the horse to take hold with lis
teeth and stretch his neck, and from this
grows the habit of wind sucking and
crib biting AS remedy, give one
drachm of copperas and half an ounce of
ground ginger in his cut feed. Perhaps
foo much cut feed is injurious. We pre-.
fer. when the horse has time TO feed
le;surely, to give uncut hay and whole
grain In masticating these they become

CAN FATNEss IN IA Cow LESSEN HET
MILK YIELDP-That cows may be toe
fat to give full flow of milk and hen;
too fat to lay, is Il current opinion among
farmers in some sections. which j. an
absurdity, ii seems to me; the fact being
that the COW or hen gets flC on account
of nom production, not that the yield of
milk or eggs is lessened by the accumu-
lation of flesh. Cows take on flesh when
supplied with rich food beyond their
capacity to convert it into milk. Ger
tain articles of food have a tendency to
produce milk, while the fat-iormlng
qualities OF others are predominant; Yer
were COW allowed SO small ration of
any kind, that she would decrease in
weight, the production Of milk would
not be increased thereby; but on he con-
trary, a diminished yield would be the
result. There is a limit to the profitable
conversion Of food MO milk; also limit
to the capacity Of COW TO seclotH milk;
but if, by high feeding with careful at'en-
ton to details, we tan GO the same re.
turns in -four years that otherwise would
require five, we are the gamers. ltsecns

THE Cow.-There is a good Old adage
that you cannot gather grapes from
thorns nor figs from thistles--but it may
be possible to reverse this and gather
thorns where you should have grapes.
and thistles where figs should grow
Sometimes this is the case where per-
son purchases an excellent COW, expect
iny her excellence to be substitute for
good hay and grain. Sometimes the
farmer expects superior COW to make
an abundance of milk and the best OF
butter from poor pasture, or from very
poor hay. 1t is in vain We endeavor to
keep up good stock unless it IL well fed.
Better breeds of cattle demand better
feed and more of it. There are many
ordinary cows which if taken and put
into some mems barns. and receiving
their fare, would be good deal above
the er or2ge. Good COWS must nave
warm barns and good care, with good
feed. Cold barns, poor hay and neglect,
allowing the animals on cold days to
stand shivering in the yard, Will soon
convert good COWS into very pool, ones.
if it does not finally result in the loss OF
the cow. Poor stock may endure such
treatment, but good, high-bred cattle
become even orse than worthless if not
properly cared for. DO not give COW
too poor feed because she is dry the in
fuence of good hay and roots at this
time will be found in The pail after she
comes in. For week or Two before she
drops her calf little meal may be fed
to advantage. If IA heifer is coming in,
look well TO her bag, for if she is going
to make good COW it will require good
care. even before she comes III.
