Matters OF Fact.

A CALL has been issued for State
Convention in Kansas, January and

State.

Straw in Place OF Hay,

Col. T. d. Curtis has been expert
menting in feeding farm animals upon
straw in place of more costly hay, and
amount of grain be given with the straw.
Last winter he found himself short of
hay but with plenty of straw, and he
gives in the New York Tribune his eX-
perience in substituting the cheaper for
the dearer fodder. The straw was fed
chiefly in col w yather, as the animals
had better appetite then than after the
weather became warm in spring, A
horse ate eighty-four cents worth of meal
and sixty cents worth of straw in seven
days, that would have eaten two dollars
worth of hay in the same time, if hay
alone had been his food, thus making n
saving of more than one-fourth. Mich
cows, working oxen and young cattle all
did well with straw and corn fodder as
part of their ration. The butter made
was of excellent quality and the milk
yield highly satisfactory. He found that
bright straw for horses driven on the
road is superior to hay, as they will not
so readily oyer-till themselves as with
hay. Plenty of grain must be given
with straw to animals at hard work. He
believes that farmers can afford to sell
portion of their hay. and then purchase
grain to feed with their straw and make
a profit by the exchange. 1t is no new
thing to feed straw in winter to farm
animals, but it was not till such cXpcr-
imcnterS as Professor Sanborn and the
agricultural chemists showed the philos-

Athletic Games for German Boys.

German boys are to be taught to play
games. The Prussian Minister of Edu-
cation has determined it, and it will be
done. Herr Won GoSsler's circular on
the subject, just published at full length
by the Cologne gazette, is a very able
and remarkable document. For some
time German public opinion has been
much exercised about the physical con-
dition of the boys in the higher schools
of the country. They We're excellent
scholars, but rather poor specimens of
boys-listless, inactive, unenterprising,
often appallingly short-sighted, the raw
material of professors perhaps, but not
of soldiers and men of the world. Ger
mans have awaked to the necessity of
better physical training, and, true to
their character, they are setting about
it in their own thorough and methodical
fashion, with a Minister leading the van
and the whole admirably drilled bureau
crazy in column at his heels. There
can be little doubt that the action of the
Government, prompted as it is by a gen
eral widespread public feeling, will re-
suit in a remarkable change in the
character of German education. To in
door-drilIing and gymnastics, already
pretty universal, outdoor exercises.
especially games requiring skill and
agility, are to be added. Spontaneity is
no longer to be sacrificed to discipline.
If ever German boys learn to play cricket
and football-both, by the way, recon-
mended by the Minister-or any equiva-
lent games, English schools will have to
look to it, English education is at
present as far ahead of German in the
training of the body as German is ahead
of English in the training of the mind. -

4 WINTER SONG.

O, Summer has its roses
And the laughing light south wind
And the merry meadows lined
With dewy, dancing pOsies;
But Winter has the sprites
And the witching frosty nights.
o. Summer has the splendor
Of the corn-tieldS wide and deep,
Where scarlet peoples sleep
And wary shadows wander;
But Winter fields are rare
With diamonds everywhere.
o, Summer has the wild bees,
And the ringing, singing motto
In the robins tuneful throat,
And the leat-talk in the trees;
But Winter has the chime
Of the merry Christmas time.
o, Summer has the luster
OF the sunbeams warm and bright,
And rains thar fall at night
Where reeds and lilies cluster;
But deep in Winters snow
The fires of Christmas glow.

to the Times that in 1854, being invited, by
prominent gentlemen of this city, to be pres
