Eenaarks BILE Success in Feeding

There are few farmers in New Eng
land better known than Mr.. A. Dawson,
Of Craftsb11rv, w., az he is a dealer in
cattle. and every year buys from I: 900
to 800 head here in ti,o north and sells
them south in Massachusetts, and Con-
necticut. Last November at bis farm,
III tie care Of his son. he had eight
grade Durham steer calves, about eight
hontIis old that weighed about 500
pounds each, and one native steer Of the
same weight These calves were tied
in good stable with chains about their
necks and watarnd regularly, and If the
day was sunny allowed to stay out lit
tie while. They were i'd hay of rather
poor vitality and each day fed
two quarts of white 1niddlings from
wheat and one quart of corn and cob
meal until March l., when good corn
meal was substituted fer the cob meal.
The result is, this spring, before May
J., the Durham grade calves weigh 900
pounds each and are Sold for $50 each
Or S1lO per pair Us tllr,,,' are mated. The
native steer with the same care and
feed only weigs $50 The winter rate
of gain is Indicated bv one pain that
gained 200 pounds in forty days.
What is remarkable is that thousands
Of calves are raised in Northern Yer
mont and sold because they are thought
unpro1itabls stock TO winter. What are
wintered sell IN spring for from $40 TO
$sl5, often for less: with this addition Of
meal these vearlings sold at price sim
liar to good three-vcar Odds or ordinary
four year Odds The quantity and com
bination Of meal WAS dictated by Mr.
Davlson,s best Judgment and long ex-
pe'ience. Fastening with chains seems
conducive to comfort, therefore TO
growth. The droppings of cattle is
sure index of their thrift. II the excre-
ment is dry and the animal costjve it
cannot thrive, and a too lux condition
OF the bowels is also bad indication.
The result Of this experiment is in har-
mony with the lesson Of the Chicago
Fat Stock Show, that the cheapest beef
is fattened early and continuously. Al
so it indicates that Durham grades are
preferable to native calves as feeders.
[ do not know OF an Instance Of 1uore
successful feeding i'll Vermont. One or
two calves are often extra, but here
eight We're selected, and it is feed ana
breed that give such a uniform good re-
suit and large profit on liberal feed

1888, and who entered into q secret mar
riage with the only daughter of
Charles Role, of No 81 Littloton

ing agent for the Prudential ill.,
surance company. and became intimate
with several respectable families. He
was q frequent visitor at Mr.. ROLES
house, won the affections of his daugh~
ter and demanded her hand in marriage.
The parents rejected the proposal, but
he persuaded the girl to consent to a
clandestlne marriage, which was per-
formed by the minister of the DeGroot
Methodist church. The young wife re-
turned to her home anu Perry went to
his clearinghouse.
Shortly afterwards q postal card fell
into the hands of Mr.. Role, which sat-
istied him that Perry had a wife living
in Schenectady. His lawyer visited
Schenectady and discovered that P Perry
had married woman III that city in
1881, under the name Of "George H
Percy" Perry had meanwhile gone to
Paterson, where he lived with a woman
named Harriet Shaw, whom he after
wards introduced as his wife and his
sister. Not long after, tie lawyer dis
covered that Perry was living in Peter
boro, Canada, with another wife,
two children and his mother.
He was there as Newbold, which
proved to be his correct name Hew
convicted Of bigamy in Toronto. He
made love to the jailer's wife and through
her aid escaped. Recently Mr.. ROLES
lawyer received a telegram from Mr..
Whitney informing him that Melville
had admitted his marriage to Miss
Role, but claimed that he had obtained
q divorce from her. The Newark wife

Improve :1asnt Of Etoca.

The improvement uf stock may seem
ingly be an expensive matter, but if We
will but notice that Improvement is
simply an investment which never fails
to return q large dividend. there will be
less hesitation On the part of those who
do not readily adopt new methods in the
matter of breeding stock.
Nature has wisely ordained TINT the
male reproduce itsels at Will, while the
female, though capable Of Reproduction,
is restricted to periods and limits. The
former, therefore, is thus enabled to i'm
prove every herd and flock on his farm
through the agency of the males. in adj
vantage which permits nina to confine
himself to improvement without the
assistance Of thoroughbred females,
which would entail heavy expense on
those who make stock-raising in large
numbers a speciality, but as the male
transmits it's qualities to it's offspring al.
most unerringly, the character of head
or flock is completely changed in a
few years. Take any herd of common

be no uniformity Of color, size or shape.
By the introduction Of thoroughbred
bull, the succeeding generation. which
will be half breeds, will show all the adj
vantages Of the cross in their improved
appearances, quicker growth, and pos
session OF superior traits for the dairy
OF the shambles. The improvement be-
ing carried further, the three-quarters
bred animals will be uniform in general
markings, color and points, thus max
ing the herd more attractive, as well as
further increasing their power of pro-
duction.
AS there is no possible limit to i'm
provement, there should be no reason
for even the federation Or existence Of
scrub stock. Through the male line,
may be made changes Of structure in q
few seasons so valuable and important
as to enhance the price of all the stock
on the farm, often the venture of an in
vestment in d thoroughbred male being
. turning step from loss to profit. :

Hfnts FOR House Adjournment.

Honsekeepers usually believe that the
great spring renovation is not satisfac-
tory without the addition Of "some new
thing" to the house Paint and paper
will accomplish a wonderful transfor-
nation, and little articles Of neetllework
will give freshness and grace for the
next seasons. Rattan chairs and
touches ore upholstered in Light chintz,
giving q summer appearance with com
fort.
The Decorator and Furnisher sup
plies this suggestion for the treatment
of walls and ceilings: "a lovely effect
is gained by having the walls clear
birds egg blue, with dado and frieze q
rich dark blue, while the woodwork is
a dull Indian red in two shades, or the
walls pale yellow, with dada mud fr1eze
d rich orange yellow. A low toned
Antwerp blue and warm gray an wood
work is harmonious, while Pompeian
red and dado, and light red friezo, with
salmon -colored walls and two shades of
bronze green with dark red in grooves
on woodwork, presents an elegant ap-
pearance.
A mistake is often made by selecting
carpets Of the same color as the paper.
A contrast is preferable.
At the spring fairs embroidery has
been displayed with taste, and, alas,
sometimes with want Of taste. That
any one in these days Of art work should
produce green tidy worked with an
mharmonious blue ribbon seems almost
incredible, that some one else should
deliberately embroider large, bright
pink perfume bag with yellow flowers
is also mysterious, but such evil deeds
and others like them are constantly OBJ
truding themselves before public notice.
Perhaps they are more noticeable be-
cause they are rare.
The crazy quilt mania still RACES,
but with less intensity. eff you could
see my especial beautiful quilt" the
needle workers exclaim, "vou would not
say that the making of it was time
wasted" The search for silk pieces
and peculiar stitches still continues.
Each silk square must ne surrounded
with different variety of fancy stitch
and when the quilt is composed of one
hundred squares the ninety ninth stitch
is often difficult to find. Aprons are
also made in the crazy quilt style, de-
pending in their effect upon the ingen-
uity of the maker. Plush balls are used
to edge these aprons.
A pretty idea for the lining of bureau
drawers is a scent bag of quilted pink
or blue silk. Over the quilted lining is
q covering Of pineapple silk, embroid-
cred with branches of daisles or violets
and edged with white lace. Bows OF
satin ribbon are placed at two Of the
corners. .ss3 <sszss s

High Death Rate in Russia.
The paucity Of medical me

The paucity Of medical men in Rus
sia, writes q correspondent, and the hab-
it's of the. rural population, combine
to make the Russian death Rate the
highest in Europe. Excepting the two
capitals. where there are many German
physicians, there is no district in the
Empire sufficiently supplied with doc
tors. According to the latest returns,
the average duration of life in Russia
is only twenty six years. The mortali-
ty among infants is frightful. More
than 60 per cent. die before they reach
their fifth year. Nearly 1900, 600
children perish every pear. OF 5000,
600 boys, only 8, ITO 600 attain the age
of military service-that is to say, their
twenty fifth year; and Of these at least
4, 0O0, 900 are found by reason Of short
ness of stature and weakness of body,
unfit for military duties.
