ANIMALS.
The Peculiarities and Likes and Dislikes
of Our Stock.

The Peculiarities and Likes and Dislikes
of Our Stock.
Why should we ignore the likes and
dislikes of our stock? Even if no care
for their own happiness prompts us to
inquire what would most crafty their
natural appetites, the desire to see our
cattle thrive ought to stimulate us to
study their likes and dislikes, and thus
learn what Nature and animal hygiene
require. Have you ever watched a COW
browsing where unwholesome weeds
formed the largest feature of the
pasturep You could not fail to have
observed, had you taken the trouble,
that the weeds and mischievous vegeta-
ton were studiously avoided by the ami
NAL. 1t is safe assertion that Nature
instinctively leads animals free to fol-
low the bent of their own desires, to
forage on only what will be for their
good; the closer we can get to these
silent limitations by the dumb animals,
the nearer we are to the philosophy of
good breeding and rearing of stock.
Stock fed continuously upon the same
food, as is so often the case, must be-
come extremely tired of their diet, as
woild be true in greater degree in the
human family; and food eaten without
relish can hardly be of the same eff
cheney as that which is taken up with
avidity. A good appetite bcspeaks
health and capacityto do something
with the food devoured. No one will
fail to keep the appetite vigorous who
appreciates the value of keeping his
stock vigorous and thrifty. A world Of
wisdom, which only the careful OBJ
server is accessible to, is locked up in
the natural desires of animals, and the
results of good work in handling stock
will run parallel with the amount of
this knowledge we have been able to
Gull from our experiences. 1t will be
well before adopting innovations in the
character of food stuffs. such as are
constantly being thrust before the
stock-grower, to test them by Natures
laws of fitness, and of the likes or dis
likes of an unpampered appetite in the
cattle. National LiUe Stock Journal.

HOLLAND.
A Country Which Owes Its Existence to the
Industry of It's People.

A Country Which Owes Its Existence to the
Industry of It's People.
Living in country which owes its
existence almost to the industry and
labor of man, it is not surprising to
find that scrupulous economy and
great foresight are the characteristic
virtues of Dutch workmen. Few coun-
tries possess population that fulflls
with more exactitude the domestic and
social duties. What they have acquired
with trouble they keep with care. He
cares little about politics, and wastes
no time, as his neighhor across the Bel
gian frontier does, in political agita-
tons. His ambition in life is to better
his condition. The questions of the
moment, the topics of the day, have for
him but little interest. He prefers his
Bible to his newspaper, the health of
his family to the tavern, to the reading
room, or political meetings. Jealous
to the last degree of that liberty which
he possesses, he wishes for no more and
likes better to enjoy in peace those
immunities which he has. Holland is
not a manufacturing country. Scat
tered here and there in different parts
of the kingdom may be found cotton.
flax, silk and wooden mills. The man
ufacture of spirits at Scheidam, and
the cutting and polishing of diamonds
at Amsterdam are both important in
dustries. In spite of his contentment
and economic habits, the Dutch work
man is poorly paid. The nominal sal
airy of good mechanic, of carpenter,
a Joiner, a plumber, or q smith, for
example, may be estimated in the
largest towns of Holland at about four
dollars per week The working-man's
wife adds. perhaps, for washing, eighty
cents to dollar. and the man himself.
by working additional hours, some
times earns thirty to fifty cents more.
1t is possible, therefore, for hard
working family to thus manage to earn
from five to five dollars and sixty cents
per week. The average Dutchman
lives in the most frugal fashion,

Practical Hints Concerning Attire and
Adornment.
Vests are now made so narrow that
ribbon three inches wide will serve. for a
stylish vest. This begins at its natural

slopes to point at the waist line. where
it may stop, or else widen again below
to its greatest width. This vest is in

toned down each side, with tiny but
tons and holes, or else it may be made
more dressy by passing under revers
on each side of velvet, which is three
inches at its greatest width, and there
fore may be made Of velvet ribbon.
Imagine, for instance, q dress of dark
blue wool with narrow vest of the
striped canvas ribbon, ecru or blue in
the center, and the side stripes of gilded
and scarlet heraldic figures. Or If the
dress is of black wool, the vest may be
of MORE ribbon. or of mohair with white
galloon for both vest and reVers, while
for black surah, silk or grenadine
beaded galloon with large beads will be
used for the revers, and the vest may
be of the dress material if it is too cost
ly to have beaded vest. Another less
costly way is to have two or three rows
of galloon alternating with bands of the
material, forming plastron that begins
at the neck and stops at the top of the
first dart; this has the effect of making
the waist look fuller and shorter, while
the narrow vest appears to leugthen it,
The V-shaped piece for front and back is
made of velvet, beaded grenadine, lace,
etc. The simplest muslin dresses have
tucked V in back and front, while those
more elaborate have the points set in of
embroidery. The skirt is round in the
house-maid fashion, and its only or
naments should be tucks two inches
wide
For elderly women useful dresses can
be made of the notified mohairs sold at
twenty-five cents yard; these are sin
gle width, and sixteen or eighteen yards
are re 1uired. They should haye rows
of two-inch tucks across TIE front ex
tending just above the knee, and above
these wrinkled apron hemn2ed and
stitched in rows; this is sewed to the
belt of the foundation skirt, and the
plaits on the side are then made fast.
The back is plated to the back of the
belt in a very small space. and is plated
again lower down to form pulled tour
nure, from whence it falls to the foot in
plaits that meet in the middle; there are
about five or six on each side. For
young girls this mohair in fawn-color,
or in changeable navy blue and brown,
can be well made up in round tucked
skirts and belted waists, or else worn
with jersey; trimmed with white braid
they will rival the more costly blue,
white or striped fannels for boating
and mountain dresses. -Harper's Ba-

YOUTHFUL INEBRIATES.
Two Ten Year Old Boys Drink Themselves
Into Insensibility.

Into Insensibility.
The limp form of two ten-year-old,
dirty, ragged boys, John Murphy and
James Murray. was carried into the
armory yesterday. They had been
picked up in an alley after they had
drunk themselves into complete insen-
sibility. When arraigned before JUS
tice Foote they were weak and their
brains badly muddled and no satisfac-
ton could be gained from them. Clerk
Clingen asked for continuation, which
was granted. This should be looked
into" he said to the court "Here are
two little boys to whom liquor has been
sold, and they say hundreds of other
boys can get liquor as easily as they
can. This is an outrage against public
decency, and the saloon keepers ought
to be punished.
"My opinion is that men who viii fur
nish little fellows like these with liquor
ought to be made acquainted with the
upper end of lamp-post," put in the
Justice.
''Say, mister, " volunteered one of the
little boys, as he pressed one hand
against his aching head and the other
against his turbulent stomach, "Il

Watering Horses.

Horses working in the field require
watering more than three times day.
When a horse plunges its head deep
into the trough to drink, it is injurious
ly thirsty, and has been suffering. While
the owner visits the water jug kept in
the shade about once every hour, he
scarcely ever thinks of his team, labor
ing in the dust and suffering from thirst.
1t is a good plan to carry a supply of
water to the field for the horses on a
light drag which is as easily taken as
to drive the horses or lead them to the
field in harness alone, and it would be
a grateful change to carry bunch of
fodder along, to give them mouthful
when they rest at times. Regularity in
watering horses is point which ought
to be carefully observed. because they
will worry, when thirsty, until relieved
