Winter Feed for Mich Cows.

The increasing demand for milk in our
cities and villages, and for glt-edged but
ter. during the winter season, is leading
some of our most intelligent farmers to
study more carefully the problem Of winter
dairyins. Il costs more to make butter in
winter than in summer, but if select class
Of customers in cities. or elsewhere, are will
ing TO pay for the increased cost Of produc-
ing il fresh in zero weather, then there is
no good reason why they should not be graf
fled. Is feasibility is already established
on small scale, and there seems to be no
discernibe limit to the demand for first
class article during the six months when the
pastures are barren. The farmer who has
the capital. can readily provide barn that
will make his COWS nearly as comfortable in
winter a. in summer, and shelter all the
food they need to keep up constant flow
Of rich milk. We have not vet attained,
perhaps, all the information necessary to Sc
cure the best rations for winter milking, vet
We are approximating toward that knowl-
edge. Some think they have found in en-
silage the ore thing needfGl. Yet some of
the parties dealing in gilt-edged begin to
complain of that made from rations consist
ing largely Of ensilage. We shall probably
have to put down early cut hay with the
favor of June grass in it. as an essential
part of the winter rations for first class but
ter. We doubt if the bouquet of the June
made article Cal be found elsewhere.
Another ration will be Indian meal, our
great national cereal, which is abundant and
cheap, and likely to continue So Then We
want green succu ent food with the dry fod-
der to sharpen The appetite and help diges-
ton. This suggests roots as another ration.
We have carrots, mangolds. and sugar beets,
all easily raised and cheaply stored in barn
cellars or in pits. And from our own ex-
perience in using them during several win
tiers, in connection with dry feed, We Judge
them to be safe ration in butter making.
Cabbage also is available and in districts re-
mote from large markets might be grown
for this purpose. Near cities it is probably
worth more for human food than for fodder.

state and all are looking for further light

Comfort for Late Risers.

The ethics of good sleep should form a
part of household morality. 1t is hardly an
extrayagant assertion that comparativly few
people. after childhood is passed, know BY
experience what perfect sleep is, and satisfy
themselves with a poor apology for this
most perfect refreshment. Rising tired and
weary from disturbed, imperfect sleep,
they proceed to summon up lost energies by
strong tea or coffee, which in its turn again
lnterferes with perfect rest at night; and
this process Of life, more than any mental
or physical labor, wears women out and

Both day of April, 1884 the amount have re-
ceived SINCE the amount have disbursed and
the amount in my hands now. These figures,
of course were furnished from the office of the

cry dollar paid by me since | came mere So
that there are in existence three separate vouch-
ers for every dollar paid by me- These vouchers
will, and do, establish the fact beyond all perad-
venture, that the statement made in the publ
cation of these words: The has paid orders to
the amount of $413. 600, is absolutely false and
is less by nearly $50 coo than the true amount
paid by me since May l, 1884
In fact all of these figures of the statement
as to the amounts received by me, paid out by
me and the balance in my hands, are false.
