Changing the Diet of Cows.

Those who have dairy cows need to be careful in changing their diet. There is great deal to be thought of in this connection. it is fact, well established by the experience of dairymen, that COWS which are regularly fed with grain while they are at pasture, even if the pas ture is fresh and plenty, will give more milk and make more butter and cheese than COWS equally good, but living on grass only; yet if a liberal ration of meal is given to the COWS living on fresh grass, the first effect is to cause shrink in lhelr milk; and if the cows which have become ac- cnstomed to have meal with their grass, have their meal suddenly taken away, they will also shrink, the pas ture in both cases being equally fresh and plenty. The loss of milk Tn neither case can be charged to in feriority ofthe food, since the changes are the reverse of the other; while the effects are alike. The effect is due to change in the action of the stomach to adapt its character to the digestion of an established food.- Southern World.

Watering Animals.

Those who ask that in the matter of watering animals they should be treated very much as we treat our selves, are no doub: correct. One thing In the treatment of work horses Tn bot weather we are disposed to appreciate, viz: the custom of water ing them three times . day and no more. It is simply cruelty on the part of man toward hls beast, to compel the team to blow or now from early morning until noon or from noon until night, without allow
 ing 1t the privilege of refreshing draught. It is inconvenient, many times, to water the team during the forenoon and VIC are apt to think the time lost, but when the farmers mi
 lennium comes, there will probably be drinking troughs in every field, supplied from some elevated spring, or from a running stream. In the meanwhile time Host" in doing good, even though it may be in behalf of the dumb animals, IS well Host" it may be regained.-Southem World.

ries of the country, cows which could not be recognized as belonging to any distinct breed, but which would compare favorably with good cows of any breed of actual merit. As foundation stock on which to make crosses of the improved breeds, the cattle of the farmers of many sections of our country are we'll adapted, whether meat or milk be the point desired. There are good and poor common cattle, as there are good and poor specimens of any of the m proved breeds. Where they have been long bred, with care and some wisdom in the selection, the common cattle often have acquired an adap tation to their surroundings which no one of the improved breeds have on their first introduction.-The Breeders Gazette.
