AGRICULTURE.

FEEDING WHILE AT PAsTURE.-lt will
som be time tor the old question TO re-
cur to the dsiryman whether or not it
pays to iced meal 10 tue COWS that are
living on good flush pasture While 1t
Is a fact that, taken alone there Is no
better food f)r COW than good pasture
vet the experience of many of the best
Jslr, men throughout the country is In
favor ef quite liberal feeding with corn
meal and bran, even when the COW IL
Oh The best Of pasture and apparently
DOING rs well as could reasonably be
expected Of her. 1t has been found that
while green grass furnishes the finest of
haSors and deepest of colcrs 10 the milk
and butter, yet there Is an absence of
richness of fatty matter in the milk that
q moderate supply of corn meal 10 the
COW will put iuto the milk 1talso helps
10 enlarge the fow OF milk, even though
the COW has apparently been doing her
best. When the COW has been living on
grass alone, if she Is suddenly gwen a
heavy iced of meal while at pasture she
is very apt to slacken up IN her supply
of min, aud the new experimenter I'M
mediately comes TO the conclusion that
meal nay do for other peoples cows
while at pasture, but his COW does bet-
ter without 1t. The fact, generally, is
that the violent change has disarranged
the cows digestion, which naturally
stops the flow of milk. There Is rigb3
way and a wrong way TO do everything
and the right way to feed COW meal,
not only while she is at pasture but at
any time, is to begin moderately and In
crease the quantity gradually SO thai
the COW can assinlliate her digestive or
gsns 10 the demand that Is made
upon them. The fact may be observed
If the meal is suddenly taken away
from q COW, only to more marked de-
gree.
1t is easy to note the evil effect Of q
change of diet with young animals, as
teaching calf TO live on skinned lnilk
after having nursed the COW. Such a
radical change often produces severe at
lacks of diarrl Oh. While the matured
animals are not SO violently affected by
changes OF food as the young are, Yet
they often feel the effects of 1t, and show
it at the pail. Cows; too, ale very
strongly creatures of habit, and they are
not partial TO changes OF any kind, ard
even when the iood is improved in rch-
ness IL nidwInter, the good effects of
the changes will not be marked, even
when made with the greatest care, until
the lapse of several days, and with some
COWS it may take weeks to arrive at Their
lest. 1ou much care In making chan
ges of food cannot be taken, and full
knowledge of the cows nature is neoes-
sary TO pIevent often making mistakes
that further Investigation wonld have
avoided altogether,

fools who believed that one mans meat
was all mems health, and one mans

Az old celery grower writes that there
are two causes for rust on celery. One
Is too great exposure to the sun, the
other Is earthlDg up or hoeing when the
ground or the lant is moist with rain
or dew, A cool, moist situation is best
for celery, and little shade is ro DIS
advantage. Earihlng up should be done
when the weather and every thing about
the plant is dry. A cause of both rust
and rot is the entraL ce of cal tn between
the stalks during Ill e process of earthiug g
up, and This is very apt to be the case
with celery OF tall, blal ching variety.

HoNR coNYoRr. There are certain

Of comfort or beauty, For one thing
there must be variety IN it, 1t Is
not necessary to huy whole set OF fur

An admirable plan to pull a sofa ont,
but if In dong SO great empty space
is left, the room " made bare. In suOh
a case the sofa could be turned so as to
break the stiff line, and yet remain
against the wall. Bot the great secret
of comfort and of giving an immediate
effect of pleasant living Is In the max
ing of corners. What does an open FIRE
amount to If an easy chair does not
stand in front of it. or q lovely view
from a window if the curtain has TO be
drawn up and the visitor stand TO look
out ? No, what we want is the chair by
the FIRE, the light on the table and the
lounge pushed near 1t; the easy seat
by the window where a good light falls,
ali ready and waiting. 1t is all in vain
to put baskets OF bright woods about,
magazines or portfolios of engravings,
TO give "home look" if the conven-
lent and comfortable seat is not added.
The visitor who coming in finds al easy
chair by the fire. and near it the little
stand with the magazine, can endure
waiting few moments, because he feels
that his welcome has met him, The
