the shop upon some matters of business.
She was offering to part with her mag
nificcnt locks of hair, for which She
asked ten tlorins. while the hairdresser
would give only eight. At last, with
fearful eyes. the pretty girl consented3 to
the sacrifice, ana the hairdresser had al
ready taken the scissors in hand, when
the Englishman vented forth a thunder

what were the motives that compelled
her to such a Disagreement, and learned
that her parents, who had been in easy

taking his purse, drew forth two bank
notes and offering them to the girl said !:

girl, without even noticing the sum, ut
once responded in the.-affirmative, and he
delicately pulled out single hair, which
he rolled round his finger, placed in his
purse, and so went away. The hair
dresser then informed the young girl that
the bank-notes represented a sum of

tears-this time for joy-at the thought

Most dairymen suppose that hay is the
cheapest food for their COWS, and think 1t a
misfortune to be short of hay-which is, in
q sense true, for every one should try to pro-
duce all the hay required for his stock-but
it is seldom true that the market price OF grain
is higher than hay. If We consider the rela-
tive nutritive value of hay and grain, or
product of grain, we find that good meadow
hay or clover is no cheaper at $13 or $14 per
ton than good wheat bran or middlings is at
500 or 1921 per ton, or corn meal at 1922 or
$23 per ton or linseed cake or meal at 1872
or $33 per ton. Now, this does not mean
that corn meal middlings, or oil meal would
be Just as appropriate for the complete food
of a COW as hay. We know that such con-
centrated food would be quite dangerous to
feed COW without some coarse fodder but
ii means that the nutriment in these foods
will be as cheap to make up any deficiency
in the ration, at those prices, as hay at the
price mentioned.
Therefore, when hay is dear in the dairy
districts, instead of buying hay the dairymen
should buy grain in some form to help him.
The grain will be cheapest and his COWS
come through in much better condition for
the milking season than il they had all the
good hay they could eat. All a COW requires
over twelve or fifteen pounds of hay should
be made up in grain food. Twelve pounds
of hay and eight pounds of middlings per
day will winter thousand pound COW much
better than thirty pounds of hay per day.
But the ground feed should be mixed with
cut hay, moistened, so the ground feed will
adhere to it, and must be eaten with the hay
and raised, and remssticated Fine feed, fed
alone, is not raised and remasticated, but

Apples have this year been 80 abundant
that for the past two months in hundreds OF
pastures the cattle have not only had all they
would eat, but large number Of varieties
from which to choose. They have become
accustomed to the use of the fruit gradually,
as it ripened and fell from the trees, and con.
sequently have not in many cases injured
themselves by overlooking the stomach. We
should like 10 hear from correspondents who
have had cattle in pastures where they could
get all the apples they would eat Have the
cattle thriven better than with the ordinary
pasturage, at the same season of the year,
without the applesH Our own experience
this year has lowered our estimate of the
value of apples as food for cattle, having seer
so many thin animals that have fed on them
for the past two months as much as they
pleRsed.

ExDer,meD,s Inv Farmer.

A few years ago there was little or no ex-
perimenting done by farmers this was left
for the experiment stations, but we predict
that there will be much more experimental
work done by the farmer in the next decade
or 30 than ever before. He is waking up to
the fact that it is economy to know what to
buy before he buys it, to know what to SOW
before he sows it, and what his soil needs be-
fore he feeds it. A small portion of the field
or garden should be set apart to experiment
tai work in testing different varieties of fruit
or grain, the effects of different fertilizers on
his soil, etc. Thus theories may be brought
to a personal, practical test, and he will gain
an experience which will enable him to act
wisely and judiciously on larger scale. One
thing, however, is to be avoided viz, pro-
nouncing too quickly on the results, or gen.
eralizing from a single trial. For instance,
under certain conditions. concentrated fer
tilizers will do more harm than good. The
time and quantity, the method of applica-
ton, must be varied. WHAT will produce
good results on one piece of soil would not
on another and some popularity of climate
might make vast difference in the success
with which even the best of fertilizers could
be applied. So in the trial of new fruits,
new Implements, new methods of any kind
do not be in haste to pronounce against them
give them fair trial first.-RurGl Home
