WINTER FEEDING IN THE DARYL is
important that the dairyman should sc
feed his cows as to cause them to hold out
their milk to the end of the season; and
no dairyman can afford to have shorter
season than three hundred days. Unless
he feeds something better than dry corn
stalks he cannot expect to prolong the
season of lactation through December
and if his herd do not come in till the
middle of March, they should not go dry
till about the middle of January. If he
has provided fodder corn, cut in blossom,
bound it in bundles and set it in large
shocks, so as to remain green and bright,
he will find little difficulty in keeping up
fair flow of milk; but this should be fed
with good clover hay, or with four or five
pounds of wheat middlings per day. If
he is obliged to feed ordinary corn stalks
and he is provided with feed cutter, let
him cut these stalks into short lengths
and mix two quarts Of middlings and one
quart of corn meal per bushel, after moist
ening the cut corn, and then let it lie in
mass for about twelve hours and warm up
some; this will somewhat soften the
woody fibre of the stalks and render the
whole more digestible. The new process
linseed meal may be purchased at one
cent per pound by the ton, and the dairy
man cannot make better investment
than to purchase enough to feed each COW
one pound per day. If it is continued all
winter, he will find his herd in most salts
factory condition in the spring, and Will
have no trouble with them when they come
in. A little oil meal is the best substitute
for grass in the winter-at least till dairy
man shall supply themselves with green
ensilage of the various kinds of grasses,
preserved in silo, so completely, as to be as
sweet and succulent as when cut. This
day may arrive in the future, and then
winter feeding will be the continuation oil
the summer ration-grass. National Ltue.

SHOW RESPECT FOR WoNES-There il
nothing in which young men are 80 thor
oughly mistaken as in the low estimation
they form of the integrity of women Not
of their own mothers and sisters, but Of
others, who, they forget, are somebody
else's mothers and sisters. As rule, nc
person who surrender. to this debasing
habit is to be entrusted with an enterprise
requiring integrity of character. Plain
words should be spoken on the subject, for
the evil is q general one If young men
are sometimes thrown into the company OF
the thoughtless and depraved women, they
have no right TO measure all women by
what they see of these, than they have to
estimate the character of honest respectable
people by the development Of crime in our
police courts. Let our young men remem-
Der that their chief happiness in life de-
ponds on their utter faith in women. No
worldly wisdom, no misanthropic philoso-
ply, no generalization, can weaken this
truth; il stands like the record of itself
for il is nothing less than this-and should
put az everlasting seal upon lips that are
wont to speak lightly OF women.-Lynn

PRESERVED POTATOES. great draw
back in the past in the way OF an extended
export trade of potatoes from this country
has lain in the fact that in ocean voyages
the vegetable is susceptible to sweat and
rot, and on arrival the losses from this cause
are often found to counterbalance the profit.
This inconvenience seems to be overcome
by the recent invention of q machine fol-
pressing and preserving potatoes in such a
manner that they may be dried and Kept
for number of years in any climate. II
is said that no oxidation or fermentation
takes place in the process, and that often
the potatoes after they go through the en-
tire process retain to great extent thelr
natural taste and original freshness. We
understand that shipments of these pota-
toes made to England recently, more par
ticularly those from California, have COM
manded earnest attention, and that the de-
mand for them largely exceeds the present
Il sSemess ts aae nee as
thing being done by simple machine,
which is capable of preserving six hundred
bushels of potatoes in twenty-four hours.
The machine not only presses the potatoes,
but lays them on tray in concave form
with the hollow side down. After the
pressure they are put into drying apparatus
where they remain for two hours, then
they are ground into coarse meal resembling
cracked rice. The first shipment Of pre-
served potatoes to Liverpool brought the
handsome sum of $3.50 per ton more than
all expense of shipment. Last year about
twenty tons were shipped by one San
Francisco merchant which brought forty
five English shillings per hundred weight,
or at rate Of 81 80 per bushel for green
potatoes. This surely would leave a good
margin for cost Of preserving and profits.

The exact truth seems to be that revivals
considered as q working system by which
to multiply conversions and recruit the
churches, are more and more distrusted
II is as il nature should suddenly start up
to do by enforced operations and violent
methods what she has been appointed to
do through the regular processes of the
seasons. There must be thousands and
thousands of people who dread these peri
odic excitements, as there are certainly
thousands more who remember them with
feelings of revulsion. 1t may seem ungra-
cious to criticise any method through which
people become Christians, but the (Epsco-
paO church, at least, prefers a method
which stands to reason and nature, and
which builds people up in Christian charac-
ter by those orderly processes which are
attended with no revulson and dread, save
the dread of sin and its disastrous conse-
auences. The Churchmln.

DIRECTIONS for protecting trees against
the codlng moth: The moth deposits its
eggs in the calyx of the young fruit in O
few days they hatch, and the worm bur.
rows into the core of the apple. In about
three weeks it attains full size and escapes
from the apple and takes shelter in the
scales Of the bark of the tree or other such
place. All wormy fruit should be picked
or knocked off, gathered from the ground
and disposed of before the worm escapes.
Scrape and clean the bark of the trees thor
oughy during the early spring, and see
that no cocoons are left in the crevices
Place bandages of old cloth, carpet or rags
around the trunks and large branches of
every tree some time in the month of June
to trap the worms; examine these every
few days and kill of course, all worms that
are trapped

The CoURTEsIEs OF LIFE. WIN. Wirt's
letter to his daughter on 'the small, sweet
courtesies of life, contains passage from
which deal of happiness might be learn
ed: 81 want to tell you secret. The
way to make yourself pleasing to others is
to show them that you care for them. The
whole world is like the miller of Mansfield
who cared for nobody-no, not he--be-
cause nobody cared for him. And the
whole world would serve you so II you
gave the same cause. Let everyone, there.
fore, see that you do care for them, by
showing them what Sterne so happily calls
the small cOuitesies, in which there is nc
parade, whose voice is too still to tease,
and which manifest themselves by tender
and affectionate looks and little kind acts
of attention-giving others the preference
in every little enjoyment at the table, in
the field, walking, sitting or standing"

An Italian professor has made some very

The National Ltve Stock Journal as
serts that hams have decidedly better fla
vor, and the meat retains more natural
color, when nothing but plain salt is used
in the curing. If the work of sailing is
carefully attended to, the hams, when cured
with salt alone, will be ready for smoking
at from six weeks to two months, accord
ing to the size of the hams. Salt-petre has
tendency to harden and redden the meat.
1t undoubtedly hastens the curing Proooet
but it does so at the expense of the flavor.
Another thing, boys, must be seen to;
the old SOW must have good warm nest

A good warm straw bed or dry leaves will
bring them out warm and smiling in the
morning when you carry out the warm
mess which answers for their toast and
coffee. Yes boys, keep the dumb animals
which are in your care, as comfortable as
you can. 1t is their due from US, and it
pays to do it, besides its being kindness
to them.
DIR. James of Waterbury has not put shoes
on his horses for two years, driving them
winter, summer, spring and fall with bare
feet without any trouble. The DOCTORS
theory is that nature has provided for the
horse; that horse can travel over all kinds
of roads; that the hoofs will be moist
that the frog coming to the ground keeps
the hoofs properly spread and free from
founder and other diseases.
Plants, like animals, differ much in their
habits and the different sorts of food on
which they subsist. The broad-leaved |
clovers, turnips and mangels abstract from
the air large portion Of their growth,
while the narrow-leaved grains and grasses
partake more Largely of mineral food, which
they draw from the soil. This fact will
explain the great advantage of rotation of
crops
For long time the tendency of the best
English breeders has been towards the early
maturity of beef animals as the most profit
able system of feeding. The animals are
fed under cover

As late result of scientific research, the
public is informed that dangerous poisons
are formed within the bodies of dead poul-
try from which the entrails have not been
removed for some time after death, and
that human beings may, and, as matter
of fact, have lost their lives in consequence
of eating the flesh of fowls in this condi-
ton. Common sense has always taught
that poultry certainly could not be improved
by the presence within it of mass of pu-
trifying intestines; and, now that science
has given authority to the lesson, let us
hope that all municipalities will follow the
lead of the few which have prohibited any
but cleaned poultry being offered for sale in
their midst.

what strange that though the note of warn
ing was sounded 30 frequently and so long
ago, it should not have excited attention.
II is not too late now to adopt precaution,
il what is reported be correct. 1t is high
time that the sanitary condition of milk and
flesh producing animals was ascertained,
At present there is ample scope for free
trade in these diseases and death-dealing
articles of food. What with private slaugh-

check whatever. --SanitdrtGn.
