OYERFEEDINe You've ANNALS
The great danger in feeding young
animals is in OVERRIDING it. A wri-
ter in the New York Times has OF
late made the discovery that young.
calves can very easily be kept from
growing, and indeed, can be
brought to lose weight by overfeed-
ing with warm skinned milk,
doubtless the very best food for q
young calf under four months old
Overlooking with the most nutri-
tioas and digestible food unduly
taxes the digestive organs, and at
once stops their action. It does
more and worse it loads the in
testinal canal with undigested and
irritating matter which infames the
mucous membrane, causes disorder
of the vital functions, and draws
upon the system for matter with
which to supply the waste. Not
only is no growth made, but pre-
vious growth is drawn upon, and
the young animal wastes its sub
stance. The same effect occurs
with full'grown animals fed for fat
tening when the injudicious feeder
supposes that if four quarts Of feed
will make q pound weight Of flesh
and fat, eight quarts should make
two pounds, and acting upon his
supposition learns that the rnles Of
arithmetic do not apply to the
practice OF feeding animals, and
that addition and multiplication
may at times become substrection.
So that not only must food be
chosen in reference to its nutritive
qualities and it's digestibility, but
the ration must be spportioned to
the actual and healthful require
ments Of the animals.

THE SUMMER FALLOW.

The summer, or bare falloW, was
formerly considered the best meth
cd of preparing land for the wheat
crop. The exposure Of the soil to
atmospheric and other influences
for whole season has an excellent
effect, but it is not necessary. A
crop may be grown, and if rightly
attended to, the succeeding grain
crop may be as good as when pre-
ceded by season of fallow. The
good results of fallow are the
most evident upon clay land. The
mechanical texture Of the soil Is
improved by the frequent plo"-
ing and stirring, thus opening
the soil for the free entrance OF
the air, and the better circulation
of the soll-water. These mechan'
ical improvements facilitate the De
composition of some of the constlt-
uents of the soil, liberating Potash
and other essential elements OF
plant-food from the locked-up and
insoluble chemical compounds OF
the soil. The Ammonia of the at
mosphere, which enters the soil
with the rain, is more readily ab'
sorbed, and, last but not least the
vegetable matter in the soil is more
quickly and thoroughly decom'
posed, and thereby made available
for sustaining the growing plants.
All these points are gained by q
summer fallow upon a heavy clay
soil, but with a light soil there is
no such demand for mechanical i'm
proyement, and no corresponding
advantage gained in a chemical
point of view. Nearly all that can
be gained by 8, year OF clean cul-
ture is obtained by a hoed or root
crop. With it the weeds can be
killed as efectually as in the fsl-
low; the soil will receive enough
culture to make it sufficiently open
for the circulation Of air. There will
be a large gain in the amount OF the
aitrates and other valuable nitro
gen compounds. In the fallo"
these are formed during the hot
months of the year, and, being
very soluble, are washed out of the
soil by heavy rains, while, If there
is a crop, the nitrates, etc., are
taken up ss food, and stored away
to be used for some succeeding
crop. Besides, the root crop will
furnish a large amount Of excellent
food for the farm stock, and finally
yield a quantity Of valuable manure,
to be returned to the soil. With a
root crop introduced into the rota-
ton, there is seldom a demand for
g summer fallow.-American Agrs-
cuLturiSt.

A simpler instrument than the jews
harp it would be hard to conceive,
but the process of manufacture com.
prises no fewer than thirty separate
operations. The inventor Of that
humble instrument, which has been
vibrating all over the world for CEN
turtles, is unknown to fame. At the
beginning Of the present century the
was developed by combin-
ing several different instruments,
each with a separate pitch, and IN

Consumption.

II is said that $4,000 people die
annually in the United States,
alone, from this disease. In some
sections Of the country, one death
in every three is from consump-
ton. This can be- and should be
avoided; our people are too care
less abou. an ordinary cough or
cold, aud other symptoms of lung
and throat affection that leads to
this disease. You should arrest it
while in the germ. Two or three
doses of DIR. BOsauko'5 Cough and
Lung Syrup will relieve an ordi-
nary cough or cold. 1t does not
dry up a cough like many prepar-
ations en- the market and leave
the disease behind it, but acts di-
rectly on the throat and bronchial
tubes, removing all the phlegm
and morbid matter that accumu-
lates in the throat and lungs. 1t
allays all irritation, and renders
the voice clear and distinct. Sold

How Gold is shipped.

When gold is shipped from the
United States to England it is
usually put in strong canvas bags.
Each bag contains $4,000. Ten of
these bags are packed in strong
iron keg. Thus each keg contains
$4,000 The average rate Of insur-
ance is about 100 on each million
of dollars. During the last twenty
years every keg of gold that has been
shipped has been taken out of Wall
street to the vessel by one man, old
John Barclay, who is said to have
grown rich at the business. He gets
81 for every keg taken on his truck
and he often takes forty of them at a
load. The loss 10y abrasion from the
shipment of gold to England is about
$3.50 on a million. The United
States government is now putting its
gold into bars for shipment instead
of shipping the coin. Each bar or
brick is valued at S4 500. The bars
are packed in kegs of sawdnst to
prevent abrasion.
