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 acknowle lged that little need
be said in support of their use. Their
nutritive qualities are considerable, and
their vegetable constitution retains their
distinctive natural moisture, while the
large bulk which may be grown on a Civ
en- ca at a comparatively small cost,
recommends them to every reason
ing man. A crop of 600 bushels of
mangelwurzels and 800 bushels of rllta-
bagas was raised upon one acre of good
land at a total cost of only 500. Fifty
pounds of roots and 20 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 corn-stalks, boiled if practic-
able. Add to this ration two quarts OF
corn-meal, and almost the excellence OF
Summer pasture is attained. II the
further addition Of the two quarts OF
cotten-seed meal is made, as recon-
mended in the case of pasturing, 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

SEED CAKE. Beat to a cream one cup
of butter and two cups of sugar. Add
three tablespoonfuls of sweet milk, a
little salt, and vanilla or lemon, to the
taste, with two tablespoonfuls of cara
way seeds. Stir in -four in which a
teaspoonful of baking powder has been
sifted, and make the cake stiff enough
to roll. Roll out thin, cut in round
cakes, aud bake in a moderate oven.
This rule makes about seventy-tive
cakes.

A dainty way to make chocolate is to
set an earthen pot into kettle of boil

and cream mixed. Stir into this when
it is hot paste made by mixing three
heaping tablespoonfuls of grated ehoco-

boil for two or three minutes, and serve
very hot If the chocolate is sweetened,
it is better not to add sugar, but let
each one add it at 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.

pepartment OF patota rooster.

According to the latest roster, there are now
serving in the department of Dakota, Gen. Al
fred H. Terry commanding, the following regi-
ments:
Cavalry-Second and Seventh regiments,
twenty -four troops
Infantry-Third, Fifth, Eleventh, Fifteenth,
Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Twenty fifth regi-
ments; seventy companies
Artllery-Light Battery f, Fourth regiment
Allowing seventy men to each cavalry troop,
seventy i've to the light battery, and fifty men
to each infantry company the total strength OF
enlisted men and un-conmissloned officers
would be 1 ,255. The allowance to troops and
companies is large enough to include the regl-
mental bands and members of the non
commissioned staff If each regiment
had its full complement of officers present
for duty there would be, in the department
exclusive of the officers attached to depart
ment headquarters-95 second leutenants ia
first lieutenants, % captains ID majors, lieu
tenant colonies and 9 coloneis-533 in all.
Each cavalry regiment has II first and II
second lieutenants, and each infantry regiment
12 tirsts and 10 seconds 4 cavalry regiment
has three majors and an infantry regiment one.
The extra first are the regimental
staff Observation-Disclosures and quarter
masters Each battery has one second and two
first lieutenants. If all the commissioned and
non commissioned officers and enlisted men
were on duty therefore, the department could
show total strength of 4,590--a far larger
number than any other department could
muster
Gen Terry promulgates decision by Lieut.
Gen, Sheridan, that there is no regulation
which prohibits an army officer, while on leave
of absence, from visiting Canada or Mexico.

Marriage Among Convicts.

From the London ST. James Gazette.
A party of so women are this weel
leaving Bordeaux for New Caledonis
under peculiar circumstances. They
are, in fact, women sentenced to {
heightened term of impris oment fol-
grave offenses, who have elected to &C
to the French penal colony, where they
will each find husband in one of the
"convicts of the first class"-that is
those conyicts who have by their good
behavior entitled themselves to q gov
eminent grant of land and obtained per.
mission to marry. An inspectress OF
prisons recently made the round of six
central female prisons and Sc
lected the 80 inmates-al of them
described as young and good
looking who are now gong abroad to
make fresh start in the world. Once
out they will be housed in a religious
establishment at Noumea, managed by
a community of sisters, where bachelor
convicts of the privileged class will be
permitted to visit them, and as often as
a marriage is arranged the colonial gov
eminent will provide the bride with a
trosseau and set the couple up in house
keeping in small way. 1t was Prince
Napoleon, who, when he was minister
for Algeria and the colonies, introduced
this system of convict marriages, which
has given excellent results thus far.

The Buffalo Commercia

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
says it has the authority of an educated
and accomplished yiolinist for the asser-
ton that the popular belief that the
manufacture of superior violins is a
lost art is a sheer delusion. No bet
ter violins are made, or ever were made
than the best Of instruments now man
ufactured in this country. The collec-
tors and reic-mongers put fabulous
prices on a Stradivarius because it is a
curio and not because of its instrinslc
merit as violin or of its superiority in
anything but age, to the finest modern
Instruments. No trained and compe-
tent Judge of violins in this country ever
thinks of importing an instrument
from Europe or would give a straw
more for a genuine Stradivarius, so far
as use Is concerned. than fora first rate

Howling Dogs and Other Signs Of Disso1u

Howling Dogs and Other Signs Of Disso1u-
ton.
II think people are getting to be bet
ter educated, and, as consequence, are
less superstitious than they used to be, F."
said Patrick Drake, the undertaken, in
talking about the matter. 1--WE heard
a lot of these things in my time-I ought
to, I've laid away nearly 5000 people
but I never remember them. Ofcourse
you've heard that the bowling of dog
is a sure sign of death; that seems to be
generally believed in. The guttering
of candle is another. TO bring
dead body into a house means that
some of the people who
live there will shortly die; if a corpse
after death is not laid out straight some
people also believe that another death
will also follow. There are great
many more of these things but never
charge my memory with them. 1t is
now only in the lower and ignorant class
that you find people who believe in
them, and it is growing harder to find
them every year. Waking among the
lower Irish is also less common. The

somewhat, and the Americans least of
all.
''No, sir, I don't think anything ABOUT
it, but know that some of these signs
are a sure forerunner OF DEATH" said
George w. Latimer. II can't explain
why it is that dog bowls when per-
son is dying, but guess there must
BIS something in the air which
tells him of it, and makes him feel it.
If we were to study these things it
might often save us much trouble. What
do you think of this? A gentleman one
Wednesday night sitting in his parlor,
his wife perfectly well, singing and
playing on the piano with a lady friend.
Suddenly it flashed across the gentle
mans mind that if his wife were to die
a hat rack in the hall would have to be
moved before the coffin could be taken
out of the house. The idea just flashed
across his mind and then went away as
suddenly as it came, and he thought no
more about it, On Friday his wife was
dead and as they took the coffin out of
the house and he saw the hat rack being
moved, the thought that came to him
Wednesday suddenly returned. You
can't explain it nor can /. but we know
that such things always are happening

Testing Feed Corn.

Thinking farmers will lose no time in
securing a supply of good seed nor will
they trust to appearance, nor to any
mans word; but will carefully test it
for themselves, and thus be sure it will
terminate This testing of seed is not
at all difficult undertaking; to be
doubly sure three tests should be made
for one dip with large spoon careless
ly, 100 kernels out of the pile; for the
second, select 100 of the best, and, for
the third, 100 of the poorest you can
find
Take for each lot any convenient
dish, and fill it nearly full of clean
sand, and pour in water till it rises to
within a quarter of an inch of the top
of the sand; on the sand place the 100
kernels of corn, and over these place
any convenient cloth to retain moisture
and exclude light. Place the dish near
the stove so as to secure temperature
of 80 degrees, and not over ITO degrees.
In two days, and every day thereafter,
examine by carefully lifting the cloth.
Every kernel that has sprouted should
be removed and counted; in this way
you can tell what per cent. of each
grade will grow. If not over 10 per
cent. of the best kernels terminate, the
seed should be rejected, but in any
case you will know how much to allow
for worthless seed at planting time
