Economy of Full Breeding for Milk,

Large yields of mi TX must neces-
sarily, says the National Live
Stock Journal, be the result of a
large quantity of food consumed,
for the cow cannot create milk out
of nothing. She is not a miracle
worker But does it follow that a
large product of milk costs more in
proportion to quantity than me-
dium yield?
Now, the cow must be supported
before she gives any milk. After
the food of support, all the food she
consumes must go to the produc-
ton of milk or flesh, and if the
cow is a good mixer it all goes to
milk; in other words, after the food
of support the extra food all goes
to profit-that is, either to milk or
flesh. And it is equally clear that
all the food consumed to support
the system of the animal is lost un-
til the point of production is
reached. After the producing point
is reached, the more the animals can
eat, properly digest and assimilate,
above this, the greater the profit.
This would seem to be too plain
to require illustration. What would
any one think of manufacturer
who used a steam engine for power
who should say that he could not
afford fuel to get up full steam be-
cause the last half of the steam
cost more than the first half. Now,
if there is only fuel enough used to
heat the water just below the boil
ing point, it will consume good
deal of fuel to do this, but no pow
er will ever be. produced by it, and
this fuel is all thrown away. The
fuel required to keep to water
heat up to two hundred degrees on
ly requires fifty per cent. added to
give one hundred pounds of steam
pressure and set the machinery all
at active work. 1t is evident that
if only half steam is produced it
costs fully three fourths as much
as full steam, and consequently all
the work that is done with this
half power is done at an additional
cost.
Just so, when the cow is only fed
so as to produce half yield of milk,
it costs more than three-fouths as
much as full yield, and the half
yield is produced without, or even
at loss. Now, to produce steam
most economically you want a we'll
constructed boiler and engine; but
whatever the boiler may be, it
costs less in proportion to work to
run it to it's full capacity than to
half its capacity. So, if you desire
to produce milk at the least cost
you must select cows with ca.
pacity to turn the largest amou nj
of food into milk-the larger the
amount the more cheaply will the
milk be produced. OF course the
best cow is the one that can digest
and assimlate the most food, and
turn all the extra food into milk, in
stead of laying on flesh and fat. Il
is the business of a skillful dairy
man to select such COWS, and ther
make full use of their machinery
to secrste milk, by full feeding

The Horse Of NsgsaaA.

The following exquisite story is
related by Lamartine, the great
eastern traveller. 91t1lf nl
| In the tribe Of Neggdah. there
was horse whose fame had spread
far and near, and Bedouin of an
other tribe, by name Dahar, de
sired extremely to POSSESSES it. Hav-
ing offered in vain for it his camels
and his whole wealth, he hit at
! length upon the following device,
by which he hoped to gain the OBJ
ject of his desire. He resolved to
stain his face with the juice of an
herb, 10 clothe himself in rags, to
tie his legs and neck together, so as
to appear like a lame beggar Thus
equipped, he went to wait for Ma
Dor, the owner of the horse, whom
he knew was to pass that way.
When he saw Nabor approaching
on his beautiful steed, he cried out
in weak voice:
Il am a poor stranger; for three
days have been unable TO move
from this spot to seek for food. I
am dying. Help me and Heaven
will reward you"
The Bedouin kindly offered to
take him on his horse and carry
him home, but the rogue replieds
81 cannot rise; l have no strength
left" sr6 81
Nabor touched with pity dis
mounted, led his horse to the spot,
and with great difficulty set the
seeming beggar on his back. But
no sooner did Daher feel himself in
the saddle than he set spurs to the
horse and galloped of, calling out
as he did so:
at is /, Daher; / have got the
horse, and am off with it."
Nabor called after him to stop
and listen. Certain of not being pur-
sued, he turned and halted at a
short distance from Nabor, who
was armed with spear.
"You have taken my horse, said
the latter. .'Since Heaven has
willed it, l wish yon. joy of it; but
/ do conjure you never to tell any
one how you obtained it."
''And why notg" said Daher.
Because" said the noble Arab,
another man might be truly I'LL,
and men fear to help him. You
might be the cause of many refus-
ing to perform an act of charity,
for fear of being duped as l have
been"
Struck with shame at these words
Daher was silent for a moment,
then springing from the horse, and
embracing its owner, returned it to
him. Nabor made him accompany
him to his tent, where they spent
some days together, and became
fast friends for life.
This beautiful instance OF show
ing kindness to enemies, and
taking the spelling of our
goods joyfully, is very noble in one
who has never learned the princi-
Piles of self-denial and forgiveness
from the gospel of Christ. And il
is shame to those who profess to
follow the example of the holy Je-
sus, that they are so often selfish,
and levengeful, and impatient, and
so frequently suffer themselves to be
loutdone in acts of Christian benev-
olence by many a poor supersti-
tious child of unbelief, whose works
of uprightness might well adorn
the faith of the Lord Jesus.
Friends, if you love the Saviour,
let your affection for him be mani
tested by good works. Then you
will be living epistles, "knoWn and
read Of all" And the Son OF God
will fulfill that sweet promise unto
you: sf
"If man loves Me, he will keep
My words: and My Father will
love him, and we will come unto
him, and make our abode with

What Ia Tariff.

The difficulty is not in under
standing whit the tariff is, but what
the effect of it is. 1t is a duty lev
led on imports to prevent foreign
fabrics from coming in competition
with American fabrics and for rev.
enue. Two factories in the same
locality-one prospers and the 9th
er goes down, the free trader takes
one as an absolute demonstration
of his theory and the protectionist
takes the other as an equally ire
futable proof of his ideas--when
the fact is, one proprietor was a
business man and the other was
not. One general idea that leaves
out of consideration these perplex
ing deductions and surmises is this:
America is the richest country in
the world in crude materials and
her facilities for utilizing and man
ufacturing them are as good or bet.
ter than the best. Foreign produce
tions. are as good or better than the
best. Foreign productions, even.if
made as cheaply, would have to
pay ocean freight to reach here.
With these advantages in her favor,
could not America successfully com
peteson free basis with the worldT'
If she could her manufacturers
would make as much money and
her people would buy goods much
cheaper. This idea does not apply
with respect to articles, the mate
rial for which is not found In this
country, and our industries In this
field must be protected by tariff
sufficient to cover the difference
in the cost of producing or making.
The idea then should be TO adjust
each item upon its ownImerits upon
the basis here indicated, making It
conform to the requirement, "a tar

lection" Figures do lie when ypu

A LynDville farmer got his reci-

rugged himself up with straps, had
leg drawn up under him, his chin
reined down on his breast and was

and screamed. She thought he
was trying to commit suicide and
when she finally dropped to the

for an hour remonetized and recar-

But it was not introduced into

There are now three more in France,

exceeds three million liters. No
