stabllng Cattle in Winter.

At a recent meeting OF In Ohio Farm
ers' Club the subject of stabling cattle in
Winter was discussed and much valua-
bic experience related. The sum and
substance of the whole matter; as de-
veloped by the experience of. those
present, may be thus summarized: 1t
pays to shelter cattle in Winter in rigor-
over climates. Stock and feed there all
the stock the farm will carry. In a
word, keep as much stock as the farm
can supply with hay and straw and
corn fodder. Make good this bulky
feed by the addition of grain, mill-feed,
hominy meal, oil-cake meal and similar
materials, as can be had at best terms.
Feeding the last-named materials in
creases the value of the rough feed, as a
larger per cent. of it is digested when fed
with other ratioDs; the contracted feed
also greatly improves the manure pile.
Growing animals cannot digest enough
straw in cold weather to keep up heat,
flesh and strength. There is, in such
practice a shrinkage and loss of flesh,
which means, in the end, loss of time
and feed. This loss may be prevented
by small outlay for ad-
ditionaI feed, as has been sug-
gested. The great advantage gained by
IeeG1ng under Snelter,ln auultlon 10 tue
easier fattening of the animals when
kept warm, and their better condition
generally, is the saving of all the solid
manure and urine. This last is a very
important consideration when estima-
ting the profits of stabling cattle. The
majority of farmers do not believe that
it pays to have corn made into meal for
feed for cattle. The refuse corn, with
straw and fodder, a little oil-meal cake
and a few roots serve every purpose, "a nd
there is no waste.

THE FARM AMI HOUSEHOLD
Agricultural Items.

We would like to. quote here Mrs.
Emily Naples extreme truth that
much ofthe misery of women is due to the
practice of squeezing a No. 4 foot into a
No: 3 Shoe" Bat the sex deny the corn,
and so make the statement inadmissable
as an agricultural paragraph.
The great cost of transportation from
the far west has rendered farmers there
studious of every means of condensing
their raw produce into saleable forms of
bulk and weight. There is continual
progress in that line of useful art, and it
is said that the effect is very ~perceptible
In reduced tonnage reported in railway
returns.
Farmers, as much as any class of men
in the world, ought to keep scrap books,
and fill them with agricultural matter
clipped from apers and magazines.
Such books are always handy and val
liable for purposes Of reference. They
are indispensable to men who desire to
keep we'll informed in regard to any pro.
iesslon, science or enterprise, or to
know the tone of public opinion as to
current topics of thought.
Professor ]. X. Macomber, of the
Iowa Agricultural College, deserves hon
orable place on the lengthning list of
those who dare to speak out against OBJ
nous wrong. Four years ago he
exposed in print an influential
company who were deluding
the public with lightning-rods for which
great claims were widely advertised, but
which were worse than useless, having
no ground connection. The concern
brought against him a noisy suit at law
Tor $4,000 damages, but he maintained
his cause, finally had the satisfaction of
driving the frauds out of lowe, and at
the last term OF the United States court
the case was dropped, at their costs.
In nearly every portion of what are
now called the central western states,
Kentucky blue grass comes when others
disappear. 1t has proved reasonably
hardy in Wisconsin, and grows luxuri-
antly in nearly every portion of Illinois.
1t varies in size and appearance under
varying conditions of soil and climate.
In Central and Southern Illinois, and in
other western states within smaller lines,
It is reckoned by many farmers as the
most valuable of all pasture grasses. 1t
starts in the spring, and after it becomes
we'll set it is hardly surpassed, so far as
~permanence is concerned. 1t endures

day says: I'm the regulation of diet,
much certainly is to- be done in dyspep-
tic cases by attention to the
articles that are to be taken;
but 1 am satisfied that much
more depends upon the quantity; and 1
am wen disposed to say, that the dys-
2eptic might be almost independent if
any attention to the que lily of bis diet,
if he rigidly observed the necessary re-
strictions in regard to quantity" The
very strong mon and the very active
men are moderate eaters. And why?
Because it takes a large amount of nerve
force ID digest food. Great eaters con-
centrate their nerve force in their stom-
achs and so have little left for brain or
muscle.
One very frequent cause of the de-
rangement of the stomach is rapid eat
ing. The food half or not at all mastica.
ted, and mixed with water instead of
saliva to make it easily swallowed, is
put into the stomach and this organ is
required to perform not only its own
and the salivary glands. DR.. Abernethy
told one of his patients who was suffer-
ing from dyspepsia that eff he'd chew
his food half as well as he did his tobac-
CO lie would be we'll in a month"
Another frequent cause of derange-
ment of the stomach is eating when one
is tired. The hearty meal of the
day should be neal the middle of the
day or ct the beginning. never at its
close. Those who turn day into night
may eat heartily at six o'clock, but the
man who goes to bed at nine will sleep
best on a hearty breakfast and dinner.
So long as n keeps the stomach and
the rest of the ~alimentary canal in sound
condition the Uanpral baalth UilI ha
good. The stomach is the source of
supplies, the kitchen, the granary of the
body. Health waits on sound diges-
tion." Every disorder of the body is sg-
gravated by disordered digestion, and
every function of the body is rendered
easier by the healthful performance of
the functions of the stomach.

The Waushakum,' yellow flint in Mas

corn will prompt the Offering of infe-
riOr stocks, which should be
guarded against. Last year some
5000 bushels of corn were carried from
Nebraska and Kansas into the Missis-
sippi Valley for seed, hut it proved a
failure. Seed-corn from southern &C.
tons o the corn belt will doubtless be
offered for planting further north, but is
unsuitable in most cases, as has been
well proven by experience, although in
good seasons it may mature a crop.

Corn Famine.

The general failure of the corr crop
of 1883 to ripen fully has created what
may we'll be called a famine in seed corn,
especially in the northern tier of States.
Professor Henry, of the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural College, estimates hat the farm
ers of that State must purchase 80, 900
bushels of seed-corn for next springs
planting. In New York, especially in
the eastern counties, the farmers are
better of, but poor seed is a general
condition throughout the corn belt.
Some varieties are notably an excep-
ton to this rule, especially "Sibley's
Pride of the North" which ripened in
New-England, New York, and so on
through Michigan, Wisconsin and North
ern Iowa. Messrs. Hiram Sibley & Co.,
the Rochester and Chicago seedsmen,
claim this TO be the earliest and surest
to-ripen Of the Dent varieties. In some
sections it has excelled even the flint
corns of the Canadian type. The good
