Childhood Troubles.

, Who ever heard of old age--old age,
with its long and tender memory
speak slightingly Of the sorrows of
childhoodP s This is reserved for the
preoccupied and callous middle age to
do. From the indifference which many
grown people exhibit toward the griefs
Of the very young, it might be inferred
that their own childhood had become
an indistinct vision, or at least that it
no longer possessed aught of interest
for them. The little troubles of chill
drenp But all trouble is relative, and
great and small, in this respect, are
movable terms. Sorrow itself grows
old; even the sacred vehemence Of grief
felt for the lately dead suffers mellow
ing change as the years lapse. How do
we know but that in another life the
most considerable tribulations endured
in this take rank with the troubles oi

had made an average weight on grass
alone of 1865 pounds, an average
gain Of 247 pounds, or 156 pounds per
day. They were housed Nov. lst, and
fed with ten pounds ground feed per
day-five pounds in the morning ana
five at night-composedo of equal parts
corn, wheat, oats aud barley. Az
noon they had feed of ten to fifteen
pounds of roots, and hay was kept
constantly before them. Once day
they were turned out for water. This
feed was continued up to Dee. Is,

Now the thoughtful farmer who is
getting fifty cents bushel for wheat
will find food for reflection in the re-
suits of this Interesting experiment.
1t looks very much as if all the grang-
ers of the Northwest had gone to work
| to make money by the most difficult
route-by raising wheat; while the
grass, which grows itself, was really
the best and most profitable crop, and
| most easily converted into money. If
the cash that has gone into farming
implements and labor in preparing
soil for wheat, had been put into barns
and cattle, Minnesota and Dakota
| would have been richer by far than
they are to-day, and the farmers
would have cared very little whether
wheat was worth fifty cents or one
| dollar, or whether the grangers or
railroads and elevators were "on top
in the Legislature.
One thing has been gained, however
by the cultivation of the land in grain
crops: 1t is now ready for tame grasses
Manure 1t we'll, seed it down to clover
timothy, blue grass, orchard grass
and alsike, and you will have green
pastures when the ground freezes solid
in November. With tame grass, Mr.
Powers experiment might have run
from May to Nov. on grass alone
and probably, cattle would have gone
out to grass one month earlier-Farm

CATTLE RAISING IN THE NORTHWEST.
There are thousands of farmers in
the Central and Eastern States who
fully believe that Minnesota and Da-
kota are adopted only to wheat grow
ing, and put on an incredulous look as
soon as people who invite them to this
region, being to talk about its possi-
bilities for stock raising. The long
cold winters are a terrible bug-bear
TO those who know nothing about the
effect of cold in a dry atmosphere on
both people and stock. Nor do these
doubters consider the facts that the
grasses, the cheapest food for stock,
grow only in perfection at the north,
and that cheap land, cheap pasture
and cheap hay would more than conf
pensate for the extra two to three
weeks of winter feeding here, as COM
pared with the southern part of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri or Kansas.
Mr. James B. Power of st. Paul, Sec
onded by his brother, Mr.. w. A.
Power, who is uperintendent of Hell
endale Stock Farm, Richland county,
Dakota has done O real service to the
Northwest by keeping a careful record
of gains and weights made from turn
Ing to grass April 80. 1884, to the
close of the year, a record which they
continue to keep carefully noting re-
suits of various experiments. The
purpose of Mr.. Power was to learn by
actual test what farmer could do
with cattle, feeding only the products
Of his own farm, without buying from
the miller or using oil-cake. The re-
suits as given below are very satisfac-
tory, and will give stockmen stronger
faith than ever in the future of the
Northwest as stock and dairy region
The conditions of the experiement
were these: April 30, 's4, cattle were
carefully weighed, one by one, before
turning to grass until October Is,
when they were put into fields and
barn lots and fed oat straw and corn
fodder, no hay or grain. During all
this time they had access to pure
stream of running water. The follow
ing table gives the result. with the
gain in pounds and percentage of gain
in the 200 days:

FARM NOTES.

AMONG THE FARMERS OF LOUISIANA.
I am very much interested in my
interviews with farmers and "truck"
raisers who visit the Exposition. AS
a rule they are listless, dead and-alive
people, the women being by far the
most wide-awake. judge the people
to whom I refer are small landholders
who do very little work with their
own hands, but employ few laborers
at low wages to make" their corn
and cotton. The small farmers are
not readers, they know little of the
world beyond the limits of their own
State, and few of them are glad of the
opportunity afforded by the Exposi-
ton to bring their families thus in
contact with the great unknown
world of agriculture, art and knowl-
odge of all kinds. They are surprised
at the excellence and variety of kinds
of corn shown from New Jersey, and
invariably beg hard for some Of the
large ears of the "Chester Co. Nam
meth," or some other equally large
yellow dent corn. Like some others
they judge of the value of variety Of
corn by the size and length Of the ears
and they listen with incredulity to
me when tell them that our best
farmers prefer generally q smaller
cared variety, like the Leaning"
for example. L have had many an
opportunity to give lesson in select
seed-corn, which hope will be of use
to those we'll meaning people who are
SO greatly behind the times in matters
of their own vocation. The fact is,
very few farmers select seed-corn to
suit me.--Col. Weld in American
Agriculturist for March.
