A Generous Diet for Cows.

Professor L. b. Arnold says in the
Weekly Tribune: 4-r.all
Cows which are made to live chiefly
upon meal do not last as long as those
which live on grass. A highly stimu-
lating diet for any animal shOrtens the
duration of its life. Over exciting any
particular organ exhausts its functions
prematurely. But generous diet
one that fully sustains all parts of the
body-cOntributes to health and lon
gevity. Cows which have moderate
feed of meal while grazing will give
more and better milk. and hold out
longer than those which live exclusively
on grass. This is more especially true
with large mixers. So large share
of their food is converted into milk
that their bodies fail to be properly
supported. With such cows moderate
feed of meal daily while at grass gives
a fuller development Of vigor without
undue excitement, and contributes to
the duration of the ilk-prOducing
function as well as to an improvement
in the quality and quantity of milk.
Exhaustion, or failure to fully sustain
vital functions, is as fatal to duration
as over-excitement or over-exertion, and
from this cause more cows have their
time of profitable milk-producing short
ened from the lack Of meal than from
getting too much while at pasture.

Texas Cattle.

The scarcity of Texas hides is get
ting to be source of anxiety to tan
ners, who want to get heavy leather to
answer the prevailing demand. The
improving of herds has been going on
for some time on the cattle ranches,
and the long-hOrned, scraggy Texas
steers are getting scarcer every year.
There is more system pursued in rails
ing. Crossing the breeds, gives finer
stock and better meat, at the expense
of the hide, which in best bred animals
is finer, and does not make so thick
leather. New ranches are stocking,
and as the facilities for the business
are practically limitless, both in point
of territory and the readiness with
which stock can be marketed, the
future of the trade is a bright one. There
has been a marked improvement in
prices for the spring drive, as compar-
ed with prices paid year ago, in all
the classes from yearlings to three-year-
ofds, the advance being nearly so per
cent. At points on the Missouri river,
where range cattle are marketed. deal
ers have experienced great difficulty in
supplying good stock, and orders for cat
tie, that are peculiarly adapted for rang
ing. are being received at points remote
from the usual markets. All these en-
couraging indications of prosperity
conclusively prove the utility of exer-
cising judgment in selecting stock, by
which a high grade of beef cattle can
be cheaply raised, and also demonstrate
that Texas will retain rank at the head
of the beefproducing States.-Ameriean

And their efforts were not wholly
vain. But there was no hustle, nor ex.
citement. The few who were genuinely
interested bestirred themselves in a
quiet way. The parish air was not
even ruffled by the circulation of a
notice of the coming event. The birds
of the air must have told of it. for the
people found it out quite extensively.
But that is no matter, so long as the
Doozenburys didn't get wind of it.
And they didn't. Not a breath of it,
until the very evening itself, when one
after another, and some with mysteri-
Qua looking packages, came in upon
them unawares.
Then they suspected what was up,
and resigned themselves to the sur
prise, a pleasant and substantial fea-
ture of which was fifty dollar green
back, delicately sandwiohed in between
transparent, warm-hearted han d.
shakes, and supper, tempting enough
for the most fastidious appetites.
Where did il come from P That was
the question. The Dawsons didn't
know. The Nivens didn't, either. The
Crandalls brought dainty roll of
butter, and they couldn't tell. DR..
Disbrow was out of town, and had been
for two or three days. The Joneses and
the Shiverses said "it didn't come from
them, that was pretty certain"
And so the wonder went the rounds.
Annie HOlcomb looked as happy, as
she could look, but said nothing.
Judge Plympton kept still. And Dea-
con Sargent had nothing to say. All
the wise heads kept close mouths. 81
the question didn't get answered. But
the Pound Social was success.

Fortunate Accidents.

1t has often happened that an inven-
tion is the result Of the purest acci-
dent. Men may plan, study and try,
but often nature refuses to open her
arcana to their efforts. What students
by their earnest labor have thus failed
to accomplish has at times been revealed
as a result of gratuitous blunder.
An instance of this may be seen in
the discovery of cochineal-scarlet. In
1884 Cornelius Drebble died in London,
but before that occurrence he met with
a most fortunate accident. Having
placed in his window an extract of
cochineal and above it a vial of aqua
regia, by chance the vial was broken
and its contents spilled into the coch-
meal. The latter was instantly changed
to beautiful dark red, and he imme-
diately set about finding an explanation
Of the occurrence. After some search
ing he ascertained that some of the tin
by which the window frame was divi-
ded into squares, being dissolved by
the acid, had caused the change. He
communicated his observations to Kuf-
felar, dyer, at Leyden, by whom it
was brought to perfection, and was for
some time kept secret and known as
Kuffelar's color.
In a similar manner was discovered
the art of glass-etching. About 1870,
Henry Schwanhard, spilled some aqua
fOrtis upon his spectacles and observed
that it corroded the glass. He subse-
quently prepared liquid sufficiently
strong to corrode every kind of glass.
At present the substance to be etched
is coated with varnish, the figures
traced, and the glass in the uncovered
places is eaten away. Schwanhard's
method was different. He covered the
figures with varnish and then poured
on the corrosive BY this means he
delineated and etched on glass animals,
flowers, plants, and human figures. In
this case pair Of spectacles was de-
stroyed, but the art of glass etching
was made known.
Another of these fortunate accidents
bsfell Abbs Hany. While he was ex-
amining fine specimen of calcite, the
mineral fell and was shattered. Dis
mayed at his loss the learned savan
gathered up the fragments, but in so
doing observed that the substance, or
iginally crystallized in prisms, now took
OH the rhombohedral form. Here was
a key to the laws Of crystallography,
and he proceeded at once to break his
whole collection into pieces, and the
result has been of more value to the
world than all the neurological muse
ums that ever existed.-W. II. Smith,
N. d., Ph. d. IN Mishigan Christian
Herald.

Sugar Beets.

Thirty tons of sugar beets are raised
to an acre, worth five dollars ton; one
ton of beets makes 1860 pounds of sug-
ar in France, a yield of about seven per
cent. The beet is said to be richer in
saccharine matter in this country, as
ours is yet virgin soil.--York Dispatch.
The above figures are slightly mis-
leading. The experience of two thou
sand farmers in Maine, Massachusetts
and Delaware was an average of
just ten tons Of sugar beets to the acre.
Fifteen tons were obtained in some
cases, but the lower figure was the
average. Now, the results obtained at
the Portland, Maine, factories were 420
tons of sugar from 1000 tons of beets;
this gives us just 120 pounds per ton,
as the Dispatch can easily ascertain by
very simple arithmetical calculation.
Between 1860 pounds and 120 pounds
there is a slight difference. Ten tons
of beets to the acre would yield 1000
pounds of sugar and this is what our
contempory evidently meant, instead of
1,5OO pounds for every ton. Such a
yield as is above stated would be 78
per cent. of sugar, instead of per cent.
as the Dispatch says. What the Dis
patch meant to say was that the beets
contain 6per cent. of saccharine matter.
The average cost of growing beets in
this country, as demonstrated by the
Delaware Beet Sugar Company, which
grew 300 acreson lis own account,
was $50 per acre. Here is the whole
trouble so far. We must grow more
tons to the acre before we can make it
pay. This can be done when our farm
ers understand the business. But
meanwhile it is well enough that any
statements that are given to the public
shall have the merit of accuracy. Let
the Dispatch be little careful here
after.-New Era.

Successful Moving Of a Large Hotel.

At recent meeting Of the Engineers
Club, of Philadelphia, the secretary
read a detailed description of the NOV
ing of the Hotel Pelham. at fremont
and Boylston street, Boston, for the
purpose of widening fremont
S rect. This hotel is built
of fresstone and brick, 96 and 50
frontage. The Boylston street wall is
supported Oh eight granite columns
IL feet high, 3 and 4 feet square.
There is a basement and seven stories
above the sidewalk. Height above
tramwsys on which it was moved, 96
feet. Weight, 5000 tons, exclusive of
furniture, which was not disturbed
during removal, as also were not the
occupants of the stores on first floor
and some of the rooms, the various
pipe connections being kept up with
flexible tubes. Careful experiments
with models showed that if the low
or part of the building was firmly
braced, there was no danger of shift
ing in the parts above. The general
arrangements consisted of heavy and
substantial stone and brick foundations
for iron rails and rollers, and the
building was forced to its new position
by fifty-six screws, 2 inches in diameter,
half inch pitch, operated by hand
against timbers arranged to uniformly
distribute the pressure against the
building. Much care and ingenuity
are displayed in the details of the ar
rang gements and work. Two months
and twenty days were occupied in prep
aration. The moving itself was begun
on August Fl, and finished on August
25, but the actual time Of moving was
but Is hours and 40 minutes. The
greatest speed was two inches in four
minutes. The hotel moved about one
eigth of an inch at each quarter turn
Of the screws. The whole distance
moved was 13 feet 10 inches. Four
thousand three hundred and Hfty-one
days were required for the work. The
whole cost was about $4,000. This
is the largest building that has ever
been removed, although larger have
been raised, which latter is much
simpler and less risky operation: The
complete success of this undertaking
is shown by the fact that cracks which
existed in the walls prior to removal
were not changed by the operation.
Paper was pasted over them before
commencing, that any change might
be seen.

Winterlng Cattle and Sheep.

At a recent meeting of the Lenawee
County Farmers Club, the subject for
discussion was the best method of win
tering cattle and sheep.
1. H. Schreder hoped to get informa-
ton in regard to sheep, as he had
been out of the business for
some years, and had bought some
to winter. He thought good stabling
of real Importance in wintering cattle.
1t had been question whether to feed
hay when he had plenty of bright straw
and good stalks with small amount
of grain. He would stable milcb cows
during the night. and let them out
days when pleasant. Give plenty of
water. He had put up windmill
this season, and hoped to furnish water
in abundance.
Mr.. Russell yards day time and sta
bles nights, feeds mill-feed and oil-cake,
AMI gives plenty of water. Would
not feed store sheep grain until near
spring, but would feed hay at night
and stalks mornings.
The expense of oilcake is $50 per ton,
and 1t is good economy to feed it with
other feed, as he considered one pound
worth two of mill feed; would feed one
tenth oil-cake to other feed. Would
not feed much corn-meal, as he consid-
cred itpoor economy. ''
Mr.. F. Rector stables everything,
feeds calves hay twice a day, also fat
ting cattle; feeds stalks in stable and
straw in the yard during the day.
Feeds sheep hay at night and straw in
the morning, under shelter. Thinks
stalks and straw, with grain, will give
as good results and as good as wool.
He commenced feeding shelled corn;
light in the beginning of winter, and
increased to ard spring Would keep
them yarded from the commencement
of winter, and shelter nights, and al.
ways when a storm. Give access to
water in the sheds at all times, but
this winter was going to salt them
! twice week. Thinks it good plan

Careful experiments have n

Careful experiments have proved
that corn which is hilled will blow
down more readily than that which has
level culture. This can be accounted
for by the fact that corn roots run very
near the surface, and when hills are
made they are confined to the small
space covered by the hill; while in level
culture the roots run from one row to
the other, thus enabling the corn to
stand strong as nature intended, and
in no way liable to be blown down ex-
cept by winds of unusual violence.
