Milo Maize meal you gave me. | had it
made into batter-cakes and was delighted
with them. My whole family liked them
very much.
| also rendered the stalks to my mules
They took hold of it readily and showed they
were fond of it.
| had an interview few days ago with
Prof F. NJ. Duncan, of Dallas, in relation
to his experience with the same plant. He
says he saved 10 bushels of good seed from
one-fourth of an acre. He let it stand in
the field till after the first Frost and then cut
off the heads and packed away in his barn
The seed has kept we'll and is now in good
condition.

tined to be of great benefit to this country

The undersigned visited Mr.. Geo. w. Ben.
sons home for the purpose of looking into
statements about Milo Maize. We exam
ined his stock, seven head of cattle and
three horses, and they were in good order
and evidenced good keeping through the
winter His large barn loft was filed with
hay and other forage, which evidently had
not been touched for feed Indeed, we saw
two bales of which Mr.. Benson's man told us
was bought last September, and that he had
had no call to use them nor any of the hay,
or else in the barn since the first day of No
vember, at which time he commenced feed
ing the stock with Milo canes and has fed
only those for roughness since that day and
thinks he has enough of the canes to feed
until the middle of April.
We examined the canes and they appear
to be as fresh and sweet, almost juicy, as
when they were put by last October.
We also ate light bread and bread made
like corn bread of Millo-middlings, which
was excellent, and the milk from the cows
was also very good. j. Il, WINTERS,

Killed by the Stings of Wasps.

Ono Use For straw.

Those who raise clover can find a
profitable way in which to utilize the
surplus straw. The value of clover
hay depends upon the curing. If ex-
posed to sun and dew until thoroughly
dried, it will be bleached, and half it's
value gone i'll the process. 1t must be
put up as green as possible. Right
hero straw comes in as a preservative.
Whether the clover be put in a bay OF
in the stack, by the free use of straw
it may be put up almost green, and
kept without danger of heating and
burning. BY alternating the straw and
clover i'll layers, the dry straw will
absorb the moisture of the clover, and
so cut off the connection that general
heat in the mass will be impossible.
Not only is the clover preserved in
it's natural good qualities, but the in
intervening layers of straw seem to
imbibe part of the aroma of the clo-
Yer. At any, rate, it is readily eaten
by the cattle in Winter, and 1 think
it much better for them to have q
mixture of this kind than O. sole diet
of dusty clover.
WHERE ouc ~ a. lGCle SnOfC OF nay,
this plan helps wonderfully to splice
out the fodder supply. 1t is needless
to say that the straw should be bright
and clean. Oat straw is the best Tor
this purpose, but any will do, Now
that the barns are nearly empty, the
straw may be hauled inside and put
where lit can be used OH the bay in hay
ing time. 1t will serve another n,ir-
pose in this way, and make just as
good manure in the end, as ifscattered
in the yards.

The Country Gentleman in a report
ola visit to the Holstein herd of Smiths,
Powell and Lamb, Syracuse, N. Y,
says:
Among the individual animals which
we examined was the COW Egis, now
eleven years old, and from her ample
size and capacious udder, no one could
hesitate to receive the statement that
she had yielded in a day not less than
SO pounds ounces of milk, and had
made in q week 10 pounds 10 ounces
ofbutter. shehasgivsn is, 1923 pounds
of milk in year, and before dropping
her last calf weighed l,945 pounds.
Tho quantity she gives requires
milking four times in twenty
four hours. The COW Aaggie (of
which u good portrait was given in
the Country Gentleman, page 100, OF
1882, also eleven years old, is noted
for being the first COW that gave over
$4,000 pounds of milk in year, and
"a pounds IL ounces ina day. Aag-
gle Ross has high record, and at her
present rate, her year, which ends on
July z, will exceed 10000 pounds OF
milk, or 10 tons! In the same field we
saw three COWS which had exceeded
10000 pounds each. A two-year, for
which 81 200 was paid when she was
eight months old, Came from a dam
which made 80 pounds 7 ounces OF
butter IN 80 consecutive days, win

"Yes-third house. They are very,

When the minister rang the bell
there was some delay in answering it.
Meanwhile the screen doors permitted
him to hear from the interior. Brown,
who seemed to be up stairs, called
over the banisters:
"Say, Helen, where in thunder is

'Who you talking to-" demanded q
voice from below.
''To you. Of course! If you were

'You do, ell? What did the pau
per Smiths have to keep house on?"
Solomon, you are vile wretch"
"Much Obliged, but it's living with
you that's done it!'
At this juncturc the minister was
ushered in, and Mrs. Brown soon ell
tered the parlor, extended both hands,
and gayly exclaimed:
"Ah! Pm SO glad! Solomon and I
both wanted to see you so much! Sol
omon-Solly, dear, hurry up and

And Solomon came down, painted
a grin on his face, and greeted the
good man with:

The condition and health Of . horse
depends very much upon the kind 81
stable it is kept in. There are horses
which suffer from disease of the ewes,
from coughs, from scratches and other
skin diseases, all ofwhich are produced
by the pungent foul air in the stables,
Farmers and Others who have horses
will take pains to keep their carriages
and harness protected from the strong
ammoniacal air of the stables lest the
leather may be rotted or the varnish
dulled and spotted; and at the same
time they will wonder why their horses
cough, or have weak eyes or moon
blindness, orsuffer from other diseases,
which, if they would only think for O
few minutes, they would readily per.
ceive are due to the foul air the an
imals are compelled to breathe every
night in the year, while confined in
close, badly ventilated stables. The
remedy is very easy. The stables
should be kept clean; this will prevent
the greater part of the mischief; and
it should be well ventilated. Thefloor
should be properly drained, so that
the liquid will not remain on it, to be
absorbed, and decompose, and pro-
duce the pungent vapors of ammonia,
which are SO injurious to the eyes,
nostrils, throat, and lungs; and this
liquid waste should be carried away
to some place where 1T can be absorb.
ed, and utilized. The floor should be
washed off ut least twice week with
plenty of water and then literally
sprinkled with finely ground gypsum
(plaster), which will combine with the
ammonia and fix it. A solution of
copperas (sulphate of iron) will have
the same result. a Lastly, the floor
should be supplied with absorbent lit
ter, which should be removed when it
is soiled. Ventilation should be pro-
vided in such a way as to avoid cold
drafts. Small openings, which may be
easily closed with slide, may be made
i'll the outer wall near the floor, and sim.
liar ones near the ceilingor in the roof,
through which the foul air can escape.
Pure air is of the utmost Importance
to the well-being of horses. As an in
stance of it may be mentioned the fact
that in the English cavalry stables q
complete system Of ventilation reduced
the average loss of horses from the
deadly disease, CHAMBERS, from one
hundred and thirty-two per thousand
yearly to nine in the thousands;
and when a similar improvement was
made i'll the French army stables, the
PERCENTAGE of death was reduced in q
similar ratio, with a still larger de-
crease of milder Observation-Disclosures

be sown, and the old ones dug up and
thrown away. And we should say

YOUTH.

Oh! strange inconsequence Of youth,
When days were lived from hand to mouth
And thought ran round an empty ring
In foolish, sweet imagining.
We handled love in childish fashion,
The name alone and not the passion
The world and life were things 90 small,
Our little wit encompasscd all!
We took our being as our faith
For granted, drew our easy breath
And rarely stayed to wonder why
We were set here to live and die.
Vague dreams we had, n grantler Fatc
Our lives would mold and dominate,
Till we should stand some far.off day
More gotlike than OF mortal clay.
Strong Fate! we meet thee but to find
soul and all that lies behind,
We lose Youths Paradise and gain
world Of duty and of pain.
