Feeding Cows.

Some lows are easily fattened. Some
cows are poo for the dairy on this ac-
count; but some poor cows will neither
milk nor fatten. What is good for one
SOFT of cow is not always good for an
othe~, and it may not always pay to
feed a COW that can not be made to fat
ten. A dairyman should understand
and know his COWS, and thee is no bet
ter way of becoming acquainted with
them than through the feed-box. A
neighbor once said to me: That is the
poo est cow / ever owned, and l am
thinking of knocking her on the head"
"Have you given he fair Trial before
you convict her?' l asked. ''Well,
she gets thu same feed as the Others"
said he. 'sNiy dear fellow" 1 replied,
"cows are like folks; you can't Judge of
one by another. Now, you give that
cow some extra feed and see what she
will do. Give her trial; think she is
a good cow if YOU give her a chance"
And he gave het trial. The more
feed he gave her the more milk she
gave, until she came up from five quarts
a dav to twelve. Then he tried all his
herd in the same way. He soon found
which cows should be kept and which
should 90 to the butcher, and some he
thought the best were the worst. The
feed that made some milk made some
fat. Now, a daifyman wants milk, and
fat in the milk, and not on the ribs. 1t
is the cows that put the feed upon the
ribs instead of into the pail that should
be weeded out. Never mind their looks.
Handsome is as handsome does And
lust now this test should be applied to
all the cows, and those that Will not re-
spond in any way should go Oft in the
quickest way, if it is to the orchard to
be buried under an apple-tree. Those
that make flesh and fat should 60 to the
butcher when fit, but as a rule it Goes

Winters AdmOnitiOns.

The cold weather admonishes us that
if the stock is 10 be kept in good con-
dition the feeding must be increased in
proportion to the decrease of the tenn
perature. The first Office of the food
consumed by an animal is to maintain
life, and life means warmth. 1t is the
vital heat which keeps an animal alive.
If the temperature falls one degree
below the normal and necessary heat
the animal becomes diseased, and unless
the temperature is raised it will die. A
certain quantity OF food must be oxidiz-
ed in the body to keep up this warmth.
AS the outer temperature falls there is
increased radiation from the body, and
heat is lost. To provide for this waste
of heat more food must be consumed,
or, instead OF a larger quantity, the food
must be richer, that is, containing more
carbon or nitrogen, the oxidation of
which will produce more heat. With
proper shelter and tight, warm stables
there will be less waste of heat, and
consequently less food will be required
than with poor shelter and open cold
barns. The first consideration then for
the farmer should be to make his ami
mails comfortable. As he knows how
grateful on a cold morning a cup OF hot
coffee is to him. let him provide warm
bran slop for his cows. and follow it up
with generous feed of cut hay and
meal. The result will be seen in the
full milk-pail and the thick cream from
the cows and the continuous and health
full growth of the calves. This COM
Portable lodging and generous feeding
is the key to successful winter dairying,
and when butter is thirty-fve or forty
cents pound it will pay to give the
cows the best of care.-N. 7. Times.

Upon What Success Depends.

The success of the farmer depends on
the skill he applies The cost of beef
begins with the seed of the crop. and
not the bread of the stock. Seed-breed-
ing Is as much an art as stock breeding.
The cost of al animal life hinges on
plant life. and good seed is founded in
correct breeding. The law of variation
enables the farmer to elevate the stand
ard in vegetable life. Never is a stock
breeder successful unless he fixes the
standard in advance First we should
breed for vigo-. second for quality, and
third for quantity The man who does
not breed an animal for vigor and con-
stitGtion viii certainly fail, for animals
are susceptible to disease, and so with
plants. Therefore you must breed for
yigor. Millions are annually lost in the
lack of care in the selection of seed.
There is quality iu plants. and as civili-
zatiou grows Older it grows more par
ticular about these Qualities Poilett
went into a wheat field and selected the
best typical head, from which he took
the best typical seed. and planted it for
a series of years, establishing Pollett 5
pedigree wheat, increasing the size of
the head from four to six and three
from forty-seven to I5j-
Corn is one of our grand crops. In
selecting your seed take it from an ear
on the lower Joint of the stalk. This is
q law of importance in the tillage of
soil which should be followed. Long
con tinued in-breeding impairs the vigor.
but the standard must be first estab-
lished by in-breeding. The wheat of
England won't make the maccaroni
which the Italians eat. and facts won't
enable me to say whether Northern
wheat or Missouri wheat, planted year
after wear, is best. The wheat of { am
bridge. England, carried long dis
tance, yielded better than in the Cam
bridge district, which is supposed to be
due TO the change of soil and climate.
Potato growers are unanimous in the
belief that a change of soil and climate
is desirable. Large potatoes yield bet
ter than small. ard two-eyei better
than one. and three-eyed better than
two. though there is much opposition to
this theory. the press generally holding
to the contrary. Turnip seed planted
year alter year from poor turnips would
detrsct from the vigor of the product,
but would produce turnips as long as
the seed terminated from turnips, be it
good or bad. The contrary of this is
pretty generally believed, but it is I'M
true.-Prof. Sanborn.

| arterial system Is much lessened. while
| the quantity Of the blood remains I'M
charged. By these occurrences extra
work is at once put upon the heart in
/ forcing the blood into the arteries, and
| by the same chain of events the vessels
are subjected 20 extraordinary pressure
| from within. Under these conditions
some of the many small arteries of the
| lungs presently become oyer-distended.
They are Tow unable to longer contain
! their contents-the biood-the elements
of which now leak out into the air
| spaces and there ccagniates. This es-
sentially is pneumonia, by it as much
of the lung as is thus blocked up is
practically useless for the time being.
and the proper circulation of the blood
is much impaired.
In feeble persons the approach of
pneumon Is often insidious and in
some cases the disease is fully estab-
lished before its existence is suspected.
This may be due to the fact that at times
the symptoms point directly away from
the affected organ-for instance. to the
brain. as is evidenced by commissions in
children and early delirium in the case
of adults Briefly, the symptoms of
pneumonia are as follows. namely:
General isposit;On-malaise; one
severe chill or frequent small ones;
cough. with pain in the side from coin
cident pleurisy; the skin is hot and dry;
the heart beats hard and fast; the
breathing is labored and rapid: the d.
gestive apparatus is also disturbed. At
the onset children may vomit and be
convulsed. as just mentioned. Indeed,
when much of the lung is blocked up
every organ in the body is more or less
deranged. This is mostly due to imped-
ed circulation and to alterations of the
character of the blood. especially the
retention in it of undue amounts of car
bon, which acts as poison and blunts
the activity of the organism, and the
patient finally perishes by this, or the
blood becomes SO disorganized that it
can no longer be circulated and the pa
tient is destroyed by heart clot"
The treatment of pneumonia must be
left exclusively to the physicians. but
while waiting the coming of the doctor,
efforts should be made to relieve the
initial chill. To this end hot draughts
of any kind may be given the patient,
and warm baths, followed by frictions
of the skin, may be made use of. Hot
footballs and bottles of hot water,
tightly corked, placed in the patents
bed are also useful. Much pain in the
side would suggest the use thereon OF
mustard plasters. Pneumonia is one of
the diseases that can oc asionally be
limited by appropriate treatment in its
incipiency. for VIII CHI reason it is pru-
dent to have medical advice early

What MAY Follow.

From this time forth the most in
genious minds of every civilized nation
will have all the capital they require
to make practical air ship. A few
successful flights will start literally
thousands of men in every country in
aerial enterprises. At first, of course,
only short voyages will be undertaken.
1t will be an expensive mode of con-
veyance for many years, and will at
first be mere toy, but eventually it
will change the face of the world.
There will be no spots on the globe in
accessible to man. The South as well
as the North Pole will yield up its
secrets. Dark continents will disap-
pear, and every savage tribe and ma
tion will be under the control of civil
lied powers. Cities will be built on
hill and mountain tops. The human
race, like the birds, will become mi
gratory, inhabiting the warm regions
in winter and the cooler zones in sum-
mer. Indeed, the imagination is stag
gered at the possibilities of aerial nav
igation. Monthly for No

The Florida Orange Crop.

A Florida paper says the outlook Tor
the orange crop this year is splendid.
The reports from all parts of the state
are not in, but all these heard from
report splendid prospects for large
crop. The old groves are bearing
heavily, some of the trees being loaded
heavier than ever before, while the
number of young groves just coming
into bearing help to swell the total.
Florida and her fruits are beginning
to occupy the place they deserve, and
especially is orange-growing becoming
an industry of mammoth proportions.

Fresh Fish Food.

A step forward, and very import
ant one in the distribution of food
fish, has been taken in the running of
a fast train between New York and
Boston. 1t is curious but indis-
putable fact that our country with its
long coast line and with supply of
fish which, both in variety and flavor,
surpasses that of any other country in
the world, has hitherto done so little
to supply consumers with fish that
are fresh and palatable. Outside of
Fulton Market there isn't to-day in
New York city single restaurant
where an epicure can go with an as
surance of ordering a fish that is not
ancient and flavorless. In many parts
of Europe the sale of fish that are not
alive in tanks is forbidden by law,
and, if we are not mistaken, the same
prohibition prevails in Japan and is

The Malheur Region.

Mr.. J. H. Joslin, the civil engineer,
returned Wednesday from sojourn Of
over four months in Southeastern Ore
gon, where he assisted Special Agent
Teller in examining government sur
veys as well as running the line between
Baker and Grant counties.
Mr. Joslin says one feels the enthusi-
asm of an explorer when going up the
Mslheur valley, which will atno distant
time be one Of the finest valleys in East
ern Oregon, and which is now practical
ly unsettled. About four-fifths of the
land can yet be taken and water gotten
easily from the river; dozen settlers
could locate in body and take out a
ditch at slight expense. This country
is only thirty-ive miles from Caldwell
By Sovey's ferry and is naturally tribut-
airy to US. Willow creek valley is all
fine land but is pretty well taken.
The country along the line between
Baker and Grant counties is generally
lava beds, with some portions first-class
stock ranges for summer; there are
small winter ranges, all Of which are
taken. Water is scarce and where
there is any it has been appropriated.
Mr.. Joslin has returned TO stay for
The winter, as will be seen by his "shin-
gle" in another column.
