"Yes," she replied

Are you going out to see another man

'Yes," Dumley said reluctantly, Il am
afraid shall have to; he is waiting for

''Well,' said the landlady's daughter, Il
don't like Mr.. Brown very much either,
and l will tell you what to do. When you
return from seeing the gentleman outside
who is waiting for you, just step over to
where Mr.. Brown is sitting and breathe on
him. That will paralyze him"

WastefuI Wintering.

New York Tribune.
Much feed is thrown away every winter in
the common management of stock. l do not
mean the fodder actually wasted in the farm
yard or stable, but that which is fed especially
to younger animals For instance, suppose
feed four calves and six yearlipgs all winter and
in spring they no larger than in the previous
fall, how much of the fodder they consumed is
wastedl l will have a pile of manure proper
tionate TO the fodder eaten but it will be worth
no more than the cost of the labor in taking care
of the stock. In order tc realize any gain on
these animals must wait for the extra growth
they may make in summer pasture This, I'm
doubtedly, is the actual result of wintering a
large proportion of the young cattle in this
country. They are fed enough to keep them
alive or it may be better than this, to enable
them to about hold their own, that is, not to
fall away much Brethren, there is no profit in
that kind of management, as you can all see
When an animal is fed enough to maintain
life and locomotion, and this, of course, is nee
essay, such additional food as it may have will
naturally if it isn't required to keep it from
freezing (which is not often the easel make
growth, If young one, and more flesh if it is
matured or full grown. This growth, or in
crease, will be according to the kind Of food
given If the food is coarse or weak, such as
straw or poor hay, the animal cannot consume
more than enough to maintain vitality; hence
stronger or richer food is essential to profit l
should expect to obtain this, with calves, by Civ
ing them each quart day of bran and oil meal
mixed two parts bran and part oil meal.
They would be kept in roomy stable, with a
rack of hay on one side and feed boxes for the
meal on another, and trough in the stable for
water, to be carried to them l would not let
these calves out of the stable once during the
winter. 1t would be cleared out every day, and
a little fresh litter scattered on the floor.
If these calves had a feeding of roots with their
meal should consider their management about
perfect, but all the roots had might be needed
for the fattening cattle But the calves would
get all the hay they would eat The yearlings,
on the contrary would be tied in stable with
halters This treatment would get them ac-
customed to being handled, making them gentle.
They would be fed double the quantity of the
same mixture bran and meal, with change
from hay to cornstalks. They would be turned
into the yard in the middle of the day for drink.
This two quarts of meal would make growth, and
in the spring 1 would expect them to be larger
than they were in the fall, and in equal, if not
better condition. This would more than pay for
the meal, because they would go into pasture
strong and vigorous, and begin to grow at once,
which would not be the case if they had moth
ing in winter but the coarse fodder, for then it
would take month perhaps to get them started
so that they would thrive.

Feeding Hay.

Breeders Gazette.
Concerning the indefinite quantity of the hay
ration in the most reputed feeding experiments
referred to in a recent issue of the Gazette it
may be observed that feeding hay is matter
that requires considerable Judgment. Animals,
like men, when the opportunity for exercising
preferences is presented, are apt to consider that
the best only is good enough for them; and if
more hay is given than they require, will pick
out the tenderest and sweetest portions, and
leave the remainder, which not only wastes
valuable feed, but encourages the habit of
dalntiness in the animals which is conducive to
anything but thrift Animals that pick over
their food, smelling and poSjng every blade and
stem in apparent hesitation as to whether to
eat or not, do not compare in thrftiness with
the good square eaters, whose appettes give
them good relish for reasonable quantity of
any proper food The general practice is to
feed enough" which is correct enough when
lust sufficient is given, and very incorrect when
great quantities are given to be trampled under
foot otherwise wasted. But with hay IN
bulk, it is not easy to gauge the quantity given,
and, even if this were possible, it would vary
materially with the quality of the product, al
though where good grain ratlons are given, vari
atoms in the quality of hay are not so important
We remember once weighing some hay that had
been passed through cutting machine, and
that great big pile OF 1t, uncut. measured only
few bushel basketfus after the machine had
done with it, weighing seven pounds and half
to the basket or just half the weight of coarse
wheat bran weighed at the same time 1t is not
possible, in the practical operation of the farm,
to be strictly accurate in such matters but
whatever departure there may be should be, so
far as possible, controlled by calculation,
and not left altogether to accident The
farmer cannot have chemical analysis made of
his hay to ascertain its exact nutritive value,
and he cannot weigh out to each bullock so
many pounds and ounces; but he can, consider
ing the quantity of grain he is feeding and the
average quantity of the hay make up his mind
about how many pounds he should feed. If he
does this, and finds part of it wasted, he can de-
crease the quantity and if the quantity should
be insufficient, his practical observation will
soon disclose that fact to him Having made up
his mind about how many pounds to feed he
will have 10 guess and weigh few times until
he can approximate somewhat the desired guam
tity and will have basis or starting point from
which to increase or decrease the ration Be-
sides, he is pursuing a method, and there is
nothing that contributes so much toward sharp
ening ones powers of observation and ripenng
his experience as the habit of doing everything
according to some fixed method or plan.

TRADE AND COMMERCE.
with the Coming of Cooler Weather Both

with the Coming of Cooler Weather Both
wholesale and Retail Trade Improving.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. %.
Careful inquiry among the wholesale and re-
TAIL merchants gives evidence that the volume
of trade has increased since the mercury worked
down toward zero Especially will this remark
apply to dry goods, fancy notions, boots and
shoes, and groceries. The largest Improvement
is found in the natural pace-in retail trade
and should therefore spread gradually until it
takes the larger movements of trade and manu-
features themselves under its influence. Stag
nation has lasted so long that expectations have
become very moderate, and in any event the in
reference of winter with many branches of in
dustry will be felt in the usual manner; but the
more active consumption of goods now reported
is encouraging merchants to buy more freely,
and in return raising the hopes Of manufacturers
and producers. Closely connected with this IS
the welcome fact that with but few excep-
tons, the people accept the result
of the election as matter of course
and are quite ready to turn to the matter next in
order, to wit their regular daily pursuits and
business. Manufactures do not yet show i'm
provement but in many places employers are
preparing to continue production at reduction in
cost, with the usual result of discussions and
occasional difficulties with their work people.
There is feeling that prices have reached the
lowest point, and this will give all concerned in
production the courage necessary to meet the
sacrifices which the long-continued depression
has formed upon them In the local markets
there were but few changes in quotations to-day,
sad those indicated firmer prices. The butter
market is getting into better shape; there is a
GOOD demand for poultry, and prices nigh
enough, although lower than Thanksgiving

She's clear in her jaws, she's full in her chine,
She's heavy in flank, and wide in her lon;
She's broad in her ribs and long in her rurp,
A straight, fiat back, with never hump;
She's wide in her hips, and calm in her eye,
She's firm in her shoulders, and thin in her thigh;
She's light in her neck and small in her tail. -
She's wide in her breast, and good at the pail;
She's fine in her bone, and silky of skin,
She's grazer's without, and butchers within"
