which accompany western cattle-graz-
ing. But one special point needs to be
carefully considered. This is that feed
ing old OF full-grown stock is only throw
ing away feed. This has been so clearly
shown of late years as to admit of no
doubt whatever. A statement made at
the recent fat stock show at Chicago
showed this in the clearest manner. A
two-year-old steer gave profit of nearly
fifty dollars on its second year s feeding;
the next year the profit was only seven
dollars. The profit lies in feeding young
animals from their birth or their wean-
ing and pushing them constantly until
ready for market, when the sooner they
are sold the better for the feeder. Thou
sands of young calves have been sent
from New York and Pennsylvania to.the
Westduring past years to be reared and
fatted. The competition with the native
western calves led to the discovery that
the young creatures carried with them
germs of the mostfat disorders and the
State Governments were appealed to to
stop the traffic. Fortunately these inno-
cent calves can be fed at home more
proftably than they can be sold to the
western feeders, and in the feeding of
them farmers may not only make money
but may so improve their farms as to
greatly increase their productiveness in
the great staple crop of wheat.-M Y

What if old Dob, the horse, should say:
"a L m sick of muncbing oats and hay,

" Well live no more life like this,
But take taste Of tarts and pies, VI
And cakes instead of grass and tiies'2
What if the chicks should peep forlorn,
We re tired to death of crumbs and corn;
Give us some sugar now to eat,
Rasins and candy nice and sweet?
What If the lambs should bleat: tsAlas,
That we must always II bible grass;
Why not have oysters, CLANS and fish,
With pudding for a dainty dish?'
What If little boy I know
Should p0ut his lips and gTumble so Il
And whine; Il won't have this or that
wish were a dog or cat? sfe-
Whatif my little girl should cry: .1eGr
To eat this mess, will not try,
For bread and butter is such stuff,
Ofit I'm sure I've had enough'2
What If they both should go without
The food they take with such a pout?
For there are many hungry poor,
Who sadly pass from door 10 doer,, s.r--.
Whose hearts would thankful be to-day
For food these grImblers throw away.

An experienced farmer recommends
that oats be soaked sufficiently to swell
before feeding them to stock. Ground
oats are in proper condition at all times,
but millers are not partial to grinding
oats, and many farmers feed them un-

partly torn away, and facility of diges-
ton increased. Poultry will carefully
pick out the soaked grains from the dry

Dogs and Swans.

Superintendent Conklin, of the Cen
tral Park. found, during the past sum-
mer, that the swans on the lake were get
ting killed at night by some prowler-
whether beast or human he could not
tel-and hetook his station in tree one
evening where hecould take inthe situa-
ton. In couple of hours dog stealth
lily approached the shore of the lake,
looked carefully around. and then gave
utterance to sharp quick bark. In an
instant half dozen dogs bounded from
a thicket near by and ali but one plunged
into the water, swimming boldly towards
the island where the swans were kept.
That one remained on shore as guard.
When the swimming dogs had almost
reached the island, Mr.. Tonklin sighted
the guard and shot him. There was a
tremendous howl from the murderous
gang in the water, for every dog of them
knew that danger was in the air. Three
OF them died before they could get
ashore, and the others escaped, but the
swans of Central Park have never been
disturbed since then.--N. 7. Commercial

An Actress Life,

When have we read anything sadder
than Maggie Mitchelrs story of what is
an actress lifeg She is what is called q
successful actress, and thus she writes to
the North american ReUiew:
1t would be bold for. me to pretend
to descry the chances of success for the
actress of the future It is lottery, this
profession of ours. in which even the
prizes are, after all, not very considera-
BILE. My own days, spent most of them
far from my children and the comforts
and delights of my home, are full of ex-
hausting labor. Rehearsals and other
business occupy me from early morning
to the hour of performance, with brief
intervals for rest and food and a little
sleep. In the best hotels my time is so
invaded that can scarcely live comfort
ably, much less luxuriously. At the
worst, existence becomes torment and
a burden. am the eager, vet weary
slave OF my profession, and the best it
can do for me-who am fortunate enough
to be included among its successful mem
bers-is to barely palliate theisuffering of
a forty week s exile from nv own house
and my family.
g For those of our calling who have TO
make this weary round. year after year,
with disappointed ambitions and de-
fested hopes as their inseparable CON-
pany. lean feel from the bottom of nv

and drearier; each year robs it of one
more chance, one more opportunity to
try and catch the fieeting bubble in
another field.''
