Fattening nm Old Cow In Milk.

FATTENING an old COW is general
ly slow and sometimes an un-
profitable process, unless she gives milk
enough meanwhile to pay for the extra
feed. A writer in the National Lite
Stock Journal, who has made good beef
of cows at sixteen to nineteen years of
age, causing them to weigh 100 to $50
pounds more than at any period during
their younger life, thus describes his
process, which he has, without excep-
ton, found satisfactory, the animal al
ways little more than paying at the
pail for all feed consumed, and "some-
times good deal more:"'
IF the old cow is quite thin and
skinny, as she is very likely to be, she
ould not be piled strongly with corn
meal on the start. This is apt to make
her feverish and to induce state op-
posed to thrifty fattening; besides, this
feverish state will render her milk
gargety. Give her slightly loosening
and cooling food at first, such as pump
kins, potatoes, sweet apples, succulent
rowen grass, one or two pounds of oil
meal, cheap molasses and clover hay,
or, better. green clover; and with any
of these may be given on the start one
or two quarts of cornmeal per day.
uc IoOu pC
creased. A pint to three pints
of cheap molasses, diluted with
three parts of water. and mixed with
one half bushel of cut clover hay, will
keep the stomach and bowels in excel
lent condition when beginning the
cornmeal. And all these foods will
make prime milk. Another food that
will be found successful, and in many
places cheap, is one bushel of flaxseed
ground with fifteen bushels of corn.
This flaxseed will render the cornmeal
Just laxative enough for health and the
fiaxseed is worth, as food, all it usual
ly costs. Cottonseed meal may also be
fed to advantage up to three pounds
per day. Linseed meal, made by the
new process, is excellent to feed with
cornmeal, as it has large proportion
of nitrogen and thus balances the corn
meal; but two pounds per day is suffi-
cient of this. The principal grain food
NAV properly be cornmeal, which is
usually cheaper for fattening than any
other grain. Bran and cornmeal 90
well together for feeding an old cow,
and after the COW gets accustomed to
the use of the grain you may feed her
six quarts of bran and six quarts OF
cornmeal in three feeds per day. 1t is
always better to begin feeding her on
pasture, beginning the use OF grain
lightly, as mentioned and increasing,
little by little up to her capacity. II
the COW be young that you desire to get
rid of because she is too small a mixer,
you may be surprised at the sudden inn
provement in milk when You try fatten'
ing her on the plan suggested. Many
dairymen do not know the capacity OF
their cows to give milk, because they
have never fairly tested it by full feed
ing."-M Y. Tribune.

instruction I'm Dairying.

A correspondent of the agricultural
Gazette, London, commenting upon
dairy news, runs into the subject of
dairy schools. He says: q Professor
Sheldon has said that in the future the
farmers sheet-anchor will be milk-sell-
ing. Certainly the extension of dairy
ing is the direction which the farming
of the future will take. This being so
it would be as shameful as surprising if
q vastly greater interest was not evoked
in an attempt to secure an improve
ment in the quality of our butter and
cheese. That such is much needed is,
also, too true. The fact that Danish
butter is beating English for the sup
plies of first-class hotels and on the re-
tail counters in many towns, this,
coupled with the complaints of butter
dealers as to the small proportion of
really first-class buffers, proves the ne
cessity of improving the products of the
churn. Turning from the churn to
the cheese vat, we lind the same state
of things, if not even worse, for it has
been estimated that e, 100000 a year
is lost in the production of the vast
weight of cheese of very medium quail
ity, and still more of inferior. Hence
it is a matter for rejoicing that in the
future we are likely to see dairying re-
ceive that attention which it deserves,
alike from the large aggregate value of
these two products as from the loss
sustained by the lower-class of products
Whether the increase of real dairy
shows will bring about the needed i'm
provement may be a matter of doubt,
but if they do not tend in that direction
they will grievously fail in their mission.
1t is to be hoped they may lead on to
other aids in that direction. Certainly
Enc land is behind other countries in
this matter. On the continent a great
effort is being made, including the most
useful of all, the establishment of train
ing schools. Ireland has got one or
more such schools for the Improvement
of her buffers. Soon we hope to hear
of some in England. for surely, we are
not to be behind the rest of the world. ="

"A young man named James Barry,
employed by quarry company of Port

den and singular manner. He was

overhangingthem were immense icicles.
The warm weather loosened them, and

after getting there. None of the other

Rule OF Calculating the Weight Of
Cattle.

By the following rule may be found
very nearly the weight of live animals:
See that the animal stands square; then
take his circumference behind the
shoulder -blade-this is the girth. Then
measure from the bone of the tail
which plumbs' the line with the hinder
part Of the buttock, and direct the
string along the back to the fore part
of the shoulder -blade-this will be the
length. Then work the figures thus:
Suppose the girth of bullock six feet
four inches. length five feet three
inches, which multiplied together
makes thirty-three square superficial
feet; and this multiplied by twenty
three-the number of pounds allowed
for each superficial foot of cattle meas
uring less than seven and more than
five feet in girth-makes 759 pounds.
When the animal measures less than
nine and more than seven feet in girth,
thirty one is the number of pounds to
be estimated for each superficial foot.
And suppose q small animal TO meas
ure two feet in girth and two feet in
length, these multiplied together make
four feet, which multiplied by eleven
the number of pounds allowed for
each square foot when cattle measure
less tnan tnree Ieet IN Sirtn-makeS
forty-four pounds. Again, suppose a
calf or sheep, ETC., to measure four
feet six inches in girth. and three feet
nine inches in length, that multiplied
together makes sixteen square feet, and
these multiplied by sixteen-the num-
ber of pounds allowed for cattle meas
uring less than five and more than
| three feet in girth-make 256 pounds.
-e
and hogs taken this way, will give the
weight Of the four quarters of the
auimal, sinking the ofial. A deduction
| must be made for animals half fattened
| of one pound in twenty from those
that are fat; and for COW that has
had calves one pound must be allowed
in addition to the one for not being
fat, upon every twenty.-Boston 1rau'

There was a grand time at Cumberland
Courthouse yesterday. II was County
Court day, and, in addition, it was well
known throughout the county that num-
Der OF speakers would be present to tell the
people what they know about the issues OF
the present canvass. The crowd IN attend
.uce was very large, and no crowd in this
section ever responded more readily and
with greater spirit to the magnetic appeals
OF The two popular orators OF the occasion.
Colonel J. p. fitzgerald, Of Farmyille,
first addressed the meeting, and II Is
agreed by those who heard him that be was
never in happier or more effective vein.
He addressed bis remarks principally TO the
issues Of the debt question. So numerous
aud SO telling we're the points which he
made that no brief report would suffice for
them.
Colonel s. +. Coleman, who closed the
exercises, surveyed the ground in an able
and ringing speech, which kindled The Ut
most enthusiasm among the crowd. There
is high hope OF success OF The Democratic
ticket among our people. Colonel Coleman
handled Cameron and his party with gloves
off, and carried the audience with him, both
W bite and black. He was severe on the Co.
alition, and denounced in no measured
terms an alliance, which he declared was
not based on principle, but on public plum
der.
Colonel Colemsn's speech ia regarded by
oil as one Of the best efforts OF his life. He
predicted a glorious triumph for Daniel,
Barbour, and Mckinney. DEH0CRAT.
