Winter Feeding of Cattle.

The daily allowance of hay to each
COW should be about % pounds, the
quantity varying somewhat with the
size of the animal. 1t is well to bear in
mind, when laying in the winter supply
that early-cut hay is by far the most
nutritious, as the early cutting saves, in
a nutritious form, material which later
on becomes woody fiber.
The value of roots as Winter food is
so widely acknowledged that little need
be said in support Of their use. Then
nutritive qualities are considerable, and
their vegetable constitution retains their
distinctive natural moisture, while the
large bulk which may he grown on a Civ
en- area at a comparatively small cost,
recommends them to every reason
ing man. A crop of 600 bushels of
mangelwurzels and 800 bushels of ruta-
bagas was raised upon one acre of good
land at a total cost of only S55. Fifty
pounds of roots and 30 pounds of hay
constitute a good daily feed for milking
COWS of average size. More hay should
be added if the cattle will consume it,
or its equivalent should be given in
straw or c~Orn-stalks, boiled if practic-
able. Add to this ration two quarts OF
corn-meal, and almost the excellence of
a Summer pasture is attained. If the
further addition of the two quarts of
cotten-seed meal is made, as recon-
mended in the case of p~asturing, the
results will closely approach the maxi
mum, and will prove a sufficient reason
for persevering in this diet. The value
of variety in food should not be forgot
ten. Carrots and parsnips, oats and
other grains may profitably form an oc-
casional change.

lowing particulars: The steamer had fine
weather on the passage, with the Exception of
the last two days, which were very foggv. it
being impossible to get any reckoning. and he
thinks he must have over-run his time. At 10

he first took for the Chebucto light. the fog

could not have been more than
one. He discovered. "a he
nearedthe light, that it was Sambro. and before
he had time to reverse the engines. he was
among the lodges northeast Of the island. The
steamer struck twice, and began filling fast
He then tried to run her ashore, but she sank
IN a few minutes. As soon as the shin struck
the captain ordered the passengers all on deck,
but they were all swept overborrd and drowned
by the heavy seas which swept over her. Two
passengers and five of the crew got into a boat,
and managed to reach shore. The captain. who
was at his post on the bridge when she went
down threw off his boots and coat and took
TO the forward rigging, but she sank faster
than he could climb, so he was Obliged
to let himself float, and after considerable
trouble caught the top gallant yard, and chung
there with one of the passengers, who also
managed to keep himself afloat until ) a. m,
Friday, when a boat put off from the island and
rescued them. The surviving passengers and

it is hot a paste made by mixing three
heaping tablespoonfuls of grated choco-
late with a little cold milk. Let this
boil for two Or three minutes, and serve
very hot. If the chocolatei is s~Weetened,
it is better not to add sugar, but let
each one add it ut the table if it is not
sweet enough, but if the unsweetened
chocolate is used, two desert spoonfuls
may be put in while it is cooking.
Cream is the greatest possible addition.

IlISs
In taking leave Of lily readers ] believe
that I can bid them no better farewell
nor render them thanks in any better way
than by touching upon one Of the CUES
tious of gravest moment here, namely, that
Of immigration. This question has, ~atlcast
for the time since the riots, always been
uppermoSt in the minds and talk Of DIR
planters; since that calamitous event the
scarcity Of labOUr and the various difficult
ties connected with the I8b0ur relations
have ever been narrowing the minds of
owners OF sugar estates; even at present
the depression of sugar prices is not their
worst care, for the prices may rise, but the
labour question is becoming more and more
serious.
The unanimous conclusion arrived at in
discussions upon this troublesome matter
has inyarpbly been about this: eve want
a good large immigration, rather SEQ
than 600 and rather coo than 400 Of
lahourcrs, this would set the labour
market right, this would enable us to give
the soil a proper cultivation at The right
time and would enable IT'S to put much
available land in cultivation, which we
now have to leave lying waste, AS it is
now the scarcity oflabom prevents MS from
getting done all the work, which ought to
be done; the people can come and go as
they like, for every one is glad to get them,
but thus they do not work steadily and
much Of the work, which the available
labour force could effect, il not done,
because the available labourers do not
choose to work, preferring partial idloness.
Further, too many go to live in the towns,
working only %irregularly in the cane fields.
And lastly, alas, too many Of the people
avail themselves Of the opportunity offered
them, not only on one OF the St1tetroasury's
estates, but all around CIlristjansted and
to the east OF TINS place, and turn squat
tcrs. We therefore must have a plentiful
immigration, which will fill up the vacant
places INC not only be useful to the plant
erS but also act as a corrective upon the
idlcrs and ~loafers, as these people, who can
now work or lie down much as they like,
will then have only the choice before them
of regular work or no work at all, and
would then necessarily prefer the regular
work, thus becoming good and useful
people instead Of Migrants and l%oaters.'
SO the planters say, and we do not see but
that their train OF reasoning is logical.
An immigration would have a beneficial
effect on our island, both as regards the
planters and as regards those of whom they
complain, the Migrants and l0aferS.
Therefore the next question, which natu-
rally arises and often is asked is this:
fought Government not to take this ques-
ton in hand. ought it not to take the
initiative for an immigration, effected
through public meansw
We would say, that, in case the means
were there, it would be but reasonable to
apply them for an immigration on the
reasons above stated. But now the means
are not there, and this Circumstance e~nforces

A Lively Incident.
Exchange.

Chief Jus,ice Waite, of the supreme court, had funny experience the other day, and as he related it to any number ot friends, the story has had a vide cir culation in society. Several weeks ago he had an imperative engagement in Baltimore Like all great men he is probably absent-minded. He went up tc she court, and afseY 2 moments session adjourned the court, and went leisurely to the Baltimore and Ohio depot which is only short distance from the capitol. As he got ont of the street-car, he found he had ten minutes in which to purchase ticket and get seat on the train. As be vent up to the ticket office he dis covered, to his surprise, that he had only a fe~ pennies in his pocket He had neg ected to supply himself with "scrip for the journey.' He looked around the vaiine-room but saw no one he knew. What vas to be done must be done 'quickly-his engagement was an im- postanf one. So he filed up in the line b the ticket-o6sce and when he reached the window, the chief justice smiled an avful smile across the fnll vidfh of his anpls mouth, and asked the tickse-aeens Il ke knew him.
 No. l dsnt," snaried the agent, " and vhas k more, doat want to. Whas do you wantr'

 70, know you. know all the bloods, but that dodge won't work On me. Take your ugly mug out of the window, and get out of the way of people who have money
 The chief-justice glared- He could not hne the young man for contempt of court. He felt cheaper and worse than if he had been a real fraud. He blushed and perspired, so that the agent had his firm belief strengthened. The chief-justiee dashed out of the railway station to see if he could not 6nd some one to identify him. He had only five minutes left. lt was too short time to run to the capitol He saw DO one. Across the street there was saloon and eating house. The ef-justice made a rush across the road, but he stopped at the door. What if he should be seen going into common gin-mill? What would people say-and it was a rare chance if any one in there should know him. Spying a private entrance, he rushed in and accos.ed the proprietor with the frantic inquiry of "Do you know mel"
 "Yes, bet yer head do. yer honor," !" said the short-haired freckied-faced man, behind the bar. "Ye are the boss av the shuprame coort. see ye livery day goin' by here on the carrs."
 Twill you cash my check! have no time to explain" Here the chief-justice grabbed piece of paper upon the desk near by and began to write hurriedly.
 "Shure 1 will. I've seen old byes off on a tear before get out of money thrust me, SOFT. Is it ;winty ye want !- here it is Will ye have drop before ye run!'
 But before any other explanation could be made the chiei-Jussice had grabbed the moaey and was running across the street. In some way the ticker agent had learned of his blunder during the judges absence, and was all politeness when he saw the money. MT.

 At ia o'clock in the day a strange quiet comes upon the streets. Paris is at break fast-at least, that is what ii is called dejeuner. But the fast really has been broken four or i've hours earlier with a cup of coffee and a piece of bread and butter. and business men and mechanics had gotten through with a considerable part of the days york before London had become fairly awake. One can work very well on a cup of good coffee for several hours. Everybody breakfasts tor, as we say, iunches) at the cafes-men, women and children. Very often the tables are set ont on the sidewalk. It is % al the costliest eafes, at the cheap ones, and SO on down to the '' Bouillons and " Cremeries," where the poorest classes eat. Breakfast is taken very leisurely. n consists of soup, fish, meat, vegetables and wine. The cooking in the good restaurants is most delicious. There is an artistic simplicity about the dishes not high seasoning, but delicate oppo- sition ef elements, bringing out by simple means the natural flavors of the meats. Where there IS tendeTloin, for example. it is cooked quite as simply as with us, because that is flavor not 10 be im- proved; but when it is neck of mutton then the hne art of the cook shows out. l have never eaten tomatoes or string beans or eggplant 90 delicious as they are here, each served as a separate course. am convinced that if . truly great French chef should come to Ches- apeake bay and make a study of our terapins, our wild ducks and our bay mackerel he would cook them all simply as we do: but think he would cook oar soft crabs and hard crabs, our trout and sheepsheads and our oysters and clans in style that would make us dissatisfied with the old methods. The almost uni. versal accompaniment Of dejeuner is wine. It is usually diluted with water or seitzer in siphons, and taking too much wine at that meal is almost unheard of. l have walked the streets ofthe city from the Batignollcs to Bercy. and from the Bois de Boulogne to Belleville and the abauoirs, and have never ye. seen drunken person in Paris. or course, there are such things, and in the low braxeries men and women, too, may be seen sitting at the tables with poisonous looking stuff in front of them. Still the fact that in nine days walking have seen no one drunk goes far to show that drunkenness is no, so common here as it is in English and American cities.
