FatteninG Oatt1n-

The Ontario Agricultural College re-
port enumerates the following points in
fattening cattle:
Most animals cat in proportion to their
weight under average conditions of age,
temperature and fatness.
Give fattening cattle as much as they
will eat, and ofttimes dag.
Never give rapid changes OF food, but
change often.
A good guide for safe quantity OF
grain per day to maturing cattle is one
pound to each hundred OF their weight;
thus an animal weighing 1000 pounds
may receive ten pounds of grain.
Every stall feeding in the Fall will
make the Winters progress more certain
than 80 per cent.
Give as much water and salt at all
times as they will take.
In using roots it is one guide to give
Just so much, in association with other
things, so that the animal may not take
any water.
In buildings, have warmth, with COM
plete ventilation, without currents, but
never under 40 do. nor over 20 dg.
Fahrenheit.
A cool, damp, airy temperature will
without corresponding result in bone,
muscle, flesh or fat, much being used to
keep up warmth.
Stall feeding is better for fat-making
than box or yard management, irrespect-
i've of health.
The growing animal, intended for beef,
requires q little exercise daily, to promote
muscle and strength of constitution;

Keep the temperature of the body
about 100 dg. not under 95 DC. nor over
105 Dc. Fahrenheit.
Don't forget that one animals meat
may be another animals poison.
1t takes three days of good food to
make up for one of bad food.
The faster the fattening the more
profits, less food, early returns and bet

1t pays to keep one man in constant
attendance on every thirty head of fat
tening cattle.
Immediately when an animal begins
to fret for food, Immediately it begins
to lose flesh; never check the fattenine
process.
Never begin fattening without a def
mite plan.
There is no loss in feeding cattle well
for the sake of the manure alone.
No cattle whatever will pay for the

Gen. Joe Wilson and Col. Clifton Bell

Bell; ''she had Il slight attack last night,

Bell. ''In fact l feel safe in positively
asserting that she has. Her penchant

Gen. Wilson, ''by the fear that youl

THAT doesn't bother me so much,

A six-months experience with the
Brush electric light, in a large railway

The knnarant Wastefulness Of Nature.

Life is sown broadcast, only to be fol-
lowed almost Immediately by a destruc
ton nearly as sweeping. Nature Gre
ates by the million, apparently that she
may destroy by the myriad. She gives
life one instant, only that she may
snatch it away the next. The main diff
ference is that, the higher we ascend,
the less lavish the creation, and the less
sweeping the destruction. Thus, while
probably but one fish in a thousand
reaches maturity of every 1000 children
born 6O4 attain adult age. That is, Ma
turc fiings aside 999 out of every 1,0OO
fishes as useless for her purposes, and
two out of every five human beings.

of Col. Percy Yerger, paid the family
of the latter visit. Tom is from Vir-

ladies are proverbial for their modesty
and innocence.
One morning Tom Yerger actually

of Susie Yerger, a young lady of six
teen. She was very indignant, and she
asked him angrily:

THE DYKES VICTORY:

The OgIethOrpes Worried, and the Fa-
vorites Score Another Run in the
Championship Race.
About two hundred and fifty people as
sembled at Base Ball Park yesterday to
witness the second championship match
game between the DiXies and ogle-
thorpes. The game throughout was
atrociously played, resulting in score OF
Il to-. The Dixies won the toss, sending
the OgIethorpes to the bat, and went into
the field determined to win the game, and
the way they made their opponents hunt
leather was a precursor Of the finish. The
game opened mildly, the Dixies
scoring three runs and the OglethOrpes
one in the first inning. The second inn
Ing was a mutual goose egg" In the
third inning the DiXies ran IN another
score. and in the fourth inning the fun
began. The Dixies led of with i've runs,
batting Hirt's pitching al over the neld,
and retired the OglethOrpes with a smut
OUT which they held through the nth
and up to the sixth inning, when the
victims sent their second and last runner
across the plate. The batting of the
bikes was effective in the'last part of the
game, while their opponents were unable
to get on to the lightning pitching OF
Perry in any shape.
The pitching and catching of Perry and
Ash was puzzler. and there are few men
who are able to stand between them.
While the playing of the Dixies is criti-
callv excellent, the men are possessed Of
an unsurmOuntable cOnceit that detracts
from their dignity in wonderful degree.
Tbs OglethOrpes are mostly men OF
light weight. bat are good players,
when not ratified by the heavy playing
of their opponents. One of the best plays
of the entire game was a running fly
eaten in the out field by DOdd, of the
Dixies.
The game Yesterday continues the
champions still in the front, where they
are liable to remain until the close OF the
season. The following is the score:
