MILK COMES FROM FooD.-We know
many dairymen who give their cows a
small grain ration all the season. and keep
ing strict account of the yield of milk,
show that they make money by this liber-
ality. One who feeds fifty COWS told us
lately that he fed four pounds of mGdlings
per day through the season, finding that he
was fully paid In the extra milk and the
COW was in so much better condition IN the
fall that it saved him the whole cost of
this extra food in wiutering. He has fol-
lowed this system for ten years. He called
our attention to neighbor of his keeping
about the same number of COWS, who fol-
lowed what he called the economical plan
let his cows puck for themselves--both
taking their milk to the same factory.
Good feeding produced $40 per COW; poor,
$27, difference of sixty per cent. III favor

can be found in almost any dairy town.

class he belongs.

ECONOMY IN FEEDING. ALL food beyond

to the owner, and that in two ways: First,
the food is lost; and second, the animal
is not kept in the best condition for get

is overloaded and It's digestive apparatus
more or less disarranged. Just inside the
limits of assimilation Is the point to have

AGRICULTURAL.

PoT 'ToEs.-In order to have the best
success in growing potatoes, and to secure
a healthy, vigorous growth and crop free
from rot, says Thorburn, it is necessary to
plant as early as the ground can be got
ready. Select rich soil and plant in rows
three feet apart and the sets one foot In the
rows. To kill the young weeds, run q
light steel tooth harrow over the field
lenSthwise Of the rows; this will allow the
crop to get the start of the weeds, besides
breaking up all lumps and levelling the
ground ready for the cultivator. If wood
ashes and plaster can be procured sow u
good dressing over the field alter the pota-
toes are up. II very early crop is de-
sired 1t will be necessary TO sprout the
potatoes before planting. Cut the pota-
toes into pieces of any size desirable
and place In warm, light room from
four TO six weeks before required for plant
ing in the open ground. During this
time shoots will start out strong and
vigorous, so that as soon as planted
they wlll send out roots and grow much
more rapidly than those treated in the ordi-
nary way. Another method ia TO place the
sets in hotbed two weeks before they are
wanted. aud then lift carefully and set out
on fresh horse dung, so that the heat will
cause them to start at once. Ii the Colo
RADIO potato beetle makes its appearance the
vines must be busted with Paris green
mixed with about eighty parts of plaster,
or, what is better, mix the Paris green In
water, two tablespoonfuls to pail, and
apply with small brush or broom. Take
care TO stir the mixture often or else the
Paris green will settle at the bottom. Two
or three applications during the season will
usually suffice 10 clear off all the beetles.

THE health of cows may be promoted by
studying the effect of different foods. A
fruitful cause of disease in cattle is the
steady feeding or dry, woody, hbJous food.
This produces impaction of the manifolds
and general arrangement of the system.
OH meal seems to have similar effect upon
the system to turnlps or other roots. 1t
produces general relaxation of the bowels
and counteracts the effect of dry, tibrous
food. In many dairy districts faxseed is
purchased at a moderate price, say from
$I.13 to ST. so per bushel, and it will pay
the uairymen or feeder of cattle or horses,
10 buy few bushels of tiaxseed and grind
il. with his otner grain. One bushel of
taxseed mixed with twenty bushels OF corn
and oats, and all g,oupd fine toeether. will
by reason OF its oil, render it slightly lax
alive and assist materially in giving a
proper action TO the digestive organs. This
will answer instead of oil meal. 1t will
show Its effect by giving a soft, mellow
skin and glossy coat. By studying the
effects of foods the feeder may prevent
most of those dist ases that render the SER
vices of the farrier necessary. Food is all
the medicine that is needed.

FAMOUS LONDON PREAoHERs Simeon Gill bert, the editor of the Advance. iu the course of a recent letter to his journal from London. gives an interesting description of some of the more widely known of the fLpndOn preachers. Sturgeon, he says, has magnificent voice, that makes itself heard from the first word of his sermon to the last, by everyone of his 1000 hearers. It is of agreeable quality, and 1t is "ht for assertion if need be, but equally sympathetic, winning and pursuasive." His preaching "is Biblical, yet.eminently Scrip. turai and ever textual." lie never writes his sermons, and. gives only short time to spec cial preparation. He is capable of passages of surpassiag beauty and vivldness of descrip- tion, but 'Le waetes none .of his resources in the support of mere side shows" He has the advantage of grand audience, containing great number of admirable men and women as any stranger could see at glauce." The deep galleries extend all the way around the church, and the pulpit is thrust far t" the front in the midst of the congreA ation. Of his per sonal appearance, Mir. Gilbert says: '.His rather a light beard. 1n form he IS not tall, Z but is thick-set. His face wears some trace of the physical pain which he endures He dreads the winter" Though Newman Hall
 Is COngregationalist, his church is independ- ent. For the most part the service of the Established Church is used. The uorganza B tion of the church is Congregational at lot- -N tom, but most of it's affairs however, are managed by q b"ardof Elders, ahrat half whom are Baptists. Dr. Gibson, formerly of Chicago. was found occupying fine church in one of the most desirable parts of the cify. On one side of his church is a Jewish syna
 gogue and on the other is Professor Huxiey's
