CORN MEAL AND CLOVER HAY
Corn meal and good clover hay will be
a proper combination of food to produce
milk, for corn is rich in starch and oil,
both good for butter; and clover hay
is rich in casine or cheese, so that
they possess both the carbonaceous and
nitrOgenOus elements in proper balance.
But corn meal is a heating food, and
mfust be fed with good judgment. It
must not be fed alone, but mixed with
q portion of the clover hay. A portion
of the clover hay should be cut into
short lengths, and the meal should be
mixed with twice its bulk of cut clover,
the clover being moistened so that the
meal will adhere to the hay, and both
be eaten together. If the meal is fed
with three times its bulk of cut clover,
so much the bette The meal being
mixed with hay, both will go into the
stomach together, and the meal, instead
of being massed in = limp or bolus, will
be distributed throughout the contents
of the stomach, will be raised and re-.
masticated, and thus not be likely to
produce teverish state of the system
Nicely cured early cut clover is q good
single food for milk, and corn meal will
add some other qualities SO as to give
some variety; but these two foods may
be improved by adding others so as to
give more variety. If dairymen should
grind half corn and half oats together,
or even one bushel of oats with two
bushels of corn, it would decidedly inn.
prove the ration. Oats are excellent for
milk. 1t will also be an Improvement
to mix 50 pounds of bran or wheat mid.
dIings with 100 pounds of corn meal
1t should always be borne in mind that
the greater is the food of the COW the
better better for the health of the COW
and better for the flavor of the milk and
butter.
If corn meal only is fed with the clo-
yer, then add six quarts of meal, fed in
two feeds, or better in three feeds, with
six or nine quarts of cut clover, at each
feed. Ifbran be mixed, then ten pounds
of the mixture per day; if oats and corn
are ground together, eight will do. The
cows should also have all the long hay
they will eat The ration, with water
and q warm, well ventilated stable, will
give return, from good cows. in every
way satisfactory.-Nation al Live Stock

HOE OUT YOUR ROW.

One day lazy farmer boy --n.i
Was hoeing out the corn, 4.
And moodily had listened long
To hear the dinner horn.
The welcome blast was heard at last,
And down he dropped his hoe;
But the good man shouted in his ear -
"My boy. hoe out your row."
Although "hard one" was the row.
To use ploughman's phrase,
And the lad, as sailors haveit,
Beginning well to "haze."
II can." he said. and manfully
He seized again his hoe,
And the good man smiled to see
The boy "hoe out his row."
The lad the text remembered long,
And proved the moral well,
That perseverance to the end
At last will nobly tell.
Take courage, man resolve You can,
And strike q vigorous blow;
In life's great field of varied toll,
Always "hoe out your row."

ENRICH1NG Poor LANDS There are
three principal methods of rapidly in
creasing the supply of plant food in any
soil. By feeding concentrated food up
on the land, as oil-c Ike, cottonseed.cake
ETC.; by the application of barnyard
manure, and the use of artificial fertili
gers. Which of these three methods is
to be adopted in any given case must be
determined b. the many conditions and
circumstances that surround it. 1t may
be that the feeding Of sheep with de
cortlcated cott"n- seed cake upon poor
pasture may be the quickest and best
best method of enriching the land. In
other cases the purchase and application
OF barnyard manure may be the most
profitable. When it comes to the arti-
hcial fertilizers, it should be borne in
mind that their true office is to supply
quickly one or two ingredients that may
be deficient in the soil-when these are
Known their use is to be recommended.

Said and Done.

Here is a bit of admirable advice 10 hired
men from The Western Rural. 1t is the
best policy" from a mere worldly point
Of view, to say nothing Of higher motives,
to act on Ephesians. vi, Z, 8. We know of
one farm hand who gets and doubtless
earns, $40 a month more than the avelnge
because he lives up to this high principle:
mo man who is selfish or lazy enough to
do as little US he can, and to do what he
does as poorly as it can be done. will ever
succeed. Such man will be hired man
all his life. Men in every subordinate
position, if they would make their mark,
mutt strive to make themselves apparently
indispensable. Every man competent to
fill position can do this; but he must re-
member all the time that he is not indis-
pensable. However, by a faithful discharge
of duty, he can make his employer think
SO, and. SO long as no necessity exists for
making a change. to wonder how he could
be able to do so without great detriment to
his own interests. No better rule toaccom-
plish this result can be laid down than this:
Work all the time as if you were working
for yourself. Ask yourself in case Of hes
itancy to labor over hours or little harder
than usual: What would do if this were
my farm. and this work needed to be done
just now? An answer to that question by
an industrious, conscientious man will cor
rectly outline duty, and action in accord
ance with it will make the hired man indis-
pensible. In such nun the employer
feels that he has in charge certain piece
of work, or of his affairs generally, an in
telligent, thinking being, who may be trus-
ted because he is such; but in a man who
is reckless, sinking all the work possible,
AMI often doing as much harm as good,
the employer feels that he has machine
which, like any other machine on his farm,
is good for nothing unless it is attended by
q guiding mind aud hand"

A peculiar method is requisite to make a
horse lie down, more particularly il you are
= stranger to him. Having accustomed the
horse to your presence, having fed him
from your hand, and stroked and caressed
and ':gentled" him, he will look upon you
as friend, and be ready to obey you. A
series Of little taps upon one foreleg, and
he IL down upon one knee; the other knee is
made to follow. In this position, the horse
will submit to be gently rolled over on his
side, almost as though in q trance. Let
each act be gentle, and he is content. Once
the horse is down he becomes your slave
and this first victory may be best confirmed
and subsequent lessons rendered less troub-
lesome, by feeding him with some choice
naorsel while he is down; or if he will not
eat in that position, directly he arises. Do
not let your victory have in it any sting of
defeat for him. The nearer that the train
er approaches to the spirit thus indicated,
the more successful he will be; and if he
wanders too far from it, he will achieve no
success ut all.
