Winter Dairying.

Winter dairying is certainly not very
profitable on most of our farms as it is
now carried on. In fact, there are
three months or more when cows are a
dead loss as far as returning any profits
for their keep may be considered. We
| keen them through the winter for the
good they have done, or that we eX-
pect them to do. Of course the one
| important consideration is to have
cows come into milk in the fall, so that
they may produce milk and butter
when these products are highest and
when there is most time to devote to
their care. Good care is IA most i'm
pOrtant matter in winter stock keep
ing for dairy purposes. Without milk
producing food, without warmth and
without most careful attention, it is
useless to try to make winter dairying
successful. Unusual attention must
also be given to cleanliness in the
dairy. When cows are stalled, their
udders and bodies will become more or
less filthy, and if any faint gets into
the milk, it is pretty sure to make it's
presence known in the butter. Then,
let much care be given to properly
bedding the stock. Employ no help
who will not be as carefully neat as
circumstances will allow. We happen
to know dairyman who gets 60 cents
a pound for his butter, but he will
have no help around him that is not
scrupulously clean and very careful
about milking. Then, provide con-
venient places for watering the cows,
SO that they need not be required to go
out and stand out in the cold and
storm to drink. Feed all the cows will
eat; give roots AS long as they last
and occasional bran mashes or slops.
All these things tell in winter dairy

THE MARTYR OF THE POOR MANS
HOME.

Since we reported Mr.. Stead's con
victiOn the full report of his trial has
reached us; and it contains nothing tC
diminish our conviction that not only
has the editor of the Pail Mall Gazette
done a grand service for the poor girls
of England, for whom nobody cared,
but that he was himself guilty of no
moral Offense. While others mock ut
him as masquerading in the garb of a
sworn libertine, we venture to pro-
nOunce him one of the needless heroes,
who are resolved to save the world at
any risk to themselves. Not one thing
appeared in the trial which makes him
unworthy of the confidence of the lead
ing philanthrOpists who have support
ed him. The Archbishop of Canter-
bury, and the Cardinal Archbishop OF
Westminster need not be ashamed of
their companion, even in the cOnvict's
suit.
Mr.. Stead's Offense was, at worst,
but IA technical one; and the worst
was made of that. He obtained child
without the consent of it's ''father,
mother, or guardian" The law makes
the father the custodian, when he is
living, and the mother, if she be Il
WI. ObCdtu
rett, obtained the child from the moth
er, without doubt with her full con-
sent, but with no formal consent from
the father. Mrs. Jarrett declares that
the mother sold her the girl for immOr-
al purposes, and that the father knew
it, and did not object. The evidence
seems to us to cOrrObOrate this state
ment, though the mother, who had
been several times arrested for drunk
enness, and the father, chimney
sweep, declare stoutly that the girl
was engaged as a servant. But it is of
no use to go into this part of the evil
dence. The witnesses on both sides
are Enthusiastically enough. 1t is clear
that Mr.. Stead believed that the facts
were as represented to him and so
they very likely were. But, however
the facts were, the fathers consent
was not obtained, and the judge de-
clares that the best intent makes no
difference in law, nor the best treat
ment, which the girl had and Mr..
Stead was convicted and must suffer.
Not one person suffers who broke the
law with vile intent, only those who
broke the law for a good intent, while
acting us detectives, with n view to
improve the law. Thus is the eXecu-
ton of law made CHASTITY and shock
ing farce. Those escape who would
make void the law, and those suffer
who magnify the law.
The home festivals of Britain will be
more happy for the great Improvement
in legislation effected through Mr..
Stead's efforts. But many household
will remember that the man to whom
they owe the protection of their girls
and the salvation of their families Oc-
cupies the felOn's cell. But the object
was worth the sacriice.- Editorial in
N. Y. Independent.

Cutting Feed for Stock.

This is the most economical method
of feeding up straw, stalks, second
quality hay, etc. By cutting these
cOarser folders and mixing them with
meal or bran almost every particle
will be eaten. But another point is
gained. Such folders uncut are hard
to digest; and a large bulk must be
eaten to get even enough to sustain
animal life and warmth through the
winter. Any assistance we can give
to digestion by previous preparation
of the fodder is so much help to the
animal, and this, when milk or fat is
, looked for, is an important considera
ton. Straw becomes a nutritious ar
ticle of food when little meal or bran
is mixed with it, and few pounds of
middlings will make it the equivalent
in feeding value to hay. When grain
is plenty and hay is scarce, the part
which oat straw plays in the feeding
ration is worth considering. When
much stock is kept, a large cutter
should be provided, and enough cut at
a time to last several days. Two or
three farmers can combine and pur-
chase large cutter, thus saving ex-
pense. But for a few head of stock a
common hand straw hand cutter will
be sufficient.
