Now is the time when the man who has
good field of fodder corn to cut for the COWS,
while they cannot find sufficient feed in the
pasture, is thankful for his forethought in
providing it. Now, too, he who has it not
makes good resolutions in regard to the fu-
ture, and declares that another year he also
will SOW fodder corn. Let us hope that he
will not forget those resolves before the time
comes to put them in force.

to my mich cows, to cut il in the morning

Fa.tenlng an Old Cow VIM /.

Fattening an old COW Is generally slow
and sometimes an Improbable process, unless
she gives milk enough meanwhile to pay for
the extra feed A writer in the National
Live 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 exception, found satisfactory, the an
imal always a little more than paying at the
pail for all feed consumed, and "sometimes a
good deal more -
'If the old COW is quite thin and skinny, as
she is very likely to be, she should not be
piled strongly with cornmeal on the start.
This is apt to make her feverish and to induce
a state opposed to thrifty fattening; besides,
this feverish state will render her milk gar
getty. Give her slightly loosening and cool
ing food at first, such as pumpkins, potatoes,
sweet apples, sueculent rowen grass, one or
two pounds of oimeal, 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. The food
must be gradually increased A pint to three
pints cheap molasses, diluted with three parts
of water, and mixed with one.half Iushel of
bAh SAoNol my Will Abbp Nub hlOulhGu anu
bowels in excellent condition when beginning
the oornmeal. And all these foods will make
prime milk.
Another food that will be found successful,
and in many places cheap, is one bushel of
haxseed ground with fifteen bushels of corn.
This haxseed will render the cornmeal Just
laxative enough for health, and the flaxseed
is worth, as food, all it usually costs. Cot
tonseed 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 cornmeal !;
but two pounds per day is sufficient of this.
The principal grain food may properly be
eornmeal, which is usually cheaper for fatten-
ing than any other grain.
Bran and cornmesl go 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
eornmeal in three feeds per day. 1t is always
better TO begin feeding her on pasture, be-
ginning the use of grain lightly, as mention

The Commissioner of Agriculture, whoever
he may be, appears by common assent to be
general target for criticism and abuse. DIR.
Loring, notwithstanding his supposed supe-
rior qualifications for the office, comes in for
his full share. Even LeDuc was less severely
criticised. He has been called the 'dress pa
rade" commissioner, and accused of making
high-sounding, finely worded speeches that
contain very little practical matter. He is
also accused of design to belittle the work
of his predecessor without much regard to its
merit. 1t is charged that he betrays hope
that the work of lie Due and Prof Collier, in
aid of the development of the sorghum sugar
industry, should come to naught; that he de-
prec iates what has been done for this pur-
pose, and suppresses the report of the nation
al society of chemists endorsing the scientific
and practical value of Prof. Golfers expert
ments and discoveries in the manufacture of
sugar from sorghum cane. The disposal of
the appropriation in aid of this industry, in
lump, to manufacturers for prize essays at
$1,000 apiece is claimed to be refusal to have
anything more done, directly, by the depart
ment in behalf of sugar making.
The Elmira Husbandman, very able and
widely circulated agricultural Journal CRITICS
es DIR. Loring without mercy. correspon.
dent of that paper says that since the depart
meut ofagriculturew was created, though we have
sometimes had men at the head of the depart
ment who did not exactly meet public expec-
tation, there has never been so complete a
failure as that which the last year has shown
in the administration of DIR. Loring. Wash
ington paper says: 1.-THE noble chief is most
of the time travelling in all directions, max
ing illustrious speeches on well-informed mat
ters; and when at Washington his social du-
ties make it impossible for him to attend to
his department duties, his time being absorb
ed in receptions, dinner parties and religious
festivities. But the doctor has large num-
Der of strong friends, and it is claimed that
all the criticisms against him have their origin
in unworthy motives. We doubt if there was
ever commissioner of agriculture who was
not repeatedly and persistenty denounced as
unfit for the place. DIR. Loring is only get
ting what seems to attach to the position

It was doubtless n surprise to many to hear
President Chadbourne, at the Bridgewater
meeting, advise farmers not to send their boys
to college But man who has been a college
president all his best days ought to be able to
form pretty correct judgment in such mat
ter. 1t must not be supposed, however, that
the president is opposed to colleges, but only
to the custom or fashion of sending boys to
college who don't want to go and who would
be better off somewhere else. He said that
if one-half the boys that yearly enter our col
leges were permitted to do something which
they like better than college work, It would
be better for them and far better for the
world.
He believes the time will come when the
schooling will be done chiefly at home. On
visiting Iceland he was surprised at finding no
public schools, but more surprised TO find the
best educated people probably in the world.
The home should be constant school of
experience to the child, and there is no home
in the world that can equal home on the farm;
and we are making a mistake in educating so
many farmers sons and daughters eff the
farm. Parents should see that their children
acquire love for nature. They should en-
courage them in the study of natural objects
plants, stones, minerals, animals and insects.
There is material enough within reach of ev-
cry boy brought up on farm, were il used
to make laboratory or museum fit for the
study of an Agassz
Too much time is wasted in schools over
difficult arithmetical puzzles and in learning
the hard geographical names of places that are
of no special interest to the scholar and prob
ably never will be. The child should be taught
that to be useful is duty and just as many
should be kept at homea as possible, for enough
will be drawn away without making an effort to
push them. Ifa boy is determined on getting
better education than home or the public
school can give him, then help him by all the
means in your power but do not send him
away from the farm to college. The farmers
home of the future will be not only the best
place to be born, but good place to live and a
good place to end ones days.-MGss. Plough

The general rule followed by persons who
attempt to fatten animals is to give them all
they will eat up clean. A careful man will
regulate the quantity of meal so as not to
eloy the appetite that is, he will take pains
not to over-feed so that the animal will re-
fuse to eat at ALL This often happens, and
when it occurs there must be a cessation of
meal feeding for few days in order to allow
the overtaxed stomach to regain its tone, and
the renewal of meal feeding must be begun
with small quantity Mt first and be grad
ually increased until the animal will again
consume the amount which the owner desires.
l am satisfied that great deal of meal is
wasted in the fattening Of animals. No two
animals are alike in their ability to digest and
assimiate rich food, such as corn meal Very
few farmers ever think Of this and generally
feed all alike. They imagine that a COW is a
COW, and a steer a steer, hence they give each
of the same species the same quantity. This
is a mistaken idea As long as the manager
has been emptied they think the animal must
be gaining rapidly as much food as has been
eaten.
A careful inspection of the excrement in
many cases would reveal the fact that con-
siderable portion of the meal put into the
manger passes through the stomachs Of the
COW or steer without being dgested at all,
and is voded without having lost any of its
substance. When particles OF meal can be
detected in the eTcrement it is evident that
there is a waste of food. Very few farmers
pay any attention to the manure of their cat
tie to examine its condition or consistency.
This lack of observation leaves them ignorant
of the proper condition the excrement should
be in TO indicate perfect digestion, and
healthful condition of the stomach-hence
they continue to pour feed into the manger
without stint, until a eloyed appetite, or an
attack of scours, which is another indication
of an overtaxed stomach, warns them that
they have made a mistake. have known
the sconrs to be attributed, by farmers, when
it affected their beef cattle, to a cold slipping
on the ice, or to something else; they never
