There is good deal said about keep

II is claimed that animals eat much less

one quarter. is saved. L would like to
have somebody who has weighed the feed
to see what the difference would be, state
how much less COW would eat in tenn
perature Of ninety degrees above zero than
in temperature twenty degrees below.
By the way, some have argued about saw
ing hay by battening up their stables and
making them some ten or fifteen degrees
warmer in cold weather.. should judge
that cattle in hot weather would live on a
very small ration Of feed. Now, while !
believe 10 keeping cattle in warm stables,
and know that . COW will give much
more milk than when in cold one, l do
not believe they eat so much less then, as
claimed by most writers. / believe my

Inever give my COWS any less meal or hay
in the warm day than in the cold, that l
am aware OF. and don't see but COW
kept up in barn in summer eats as much
as in the winter. Most Of us keep our
work-horses Ia the summer at the barn,

amount Of feed they eat in winter. l
would like to ask how much less man

Compelled to Dance.

A story has just come to light in Can- ton, Ga., which affords much amusc- ment to natives at the expense of three Boston dudes, whose connection with the opening of a Georgia marble quarry took them there. They have had much amusement with mountain hoosiers and delighted in showing off their superior accomplishments. While on the way to Tates Wednesday they met two harm less-looking country boys who, bare footed and with but one suspender over their shoulders, were trudging to town. The Bostonians stepped in front of them and ordered them to dance to @ Massa- chusetts juba.
 When the mountaineers became satis- fled that the Bostonians were in earnest they pulled out two ugly-looking revolv- CTS and changed the programme by ordering the dudes to dance. Thinking to humor the joke and thus escape easily they danced awhile, but the boys would not let them halt. For five hours under cover of revolvers the Bostonians danced such jig as has never before been seen. When the time was up one of the moun- taineers exclaimed: "Now, dang it, run P The Bostonians were only too glad to do so and reached town footsore and weary. They are now seeking legal | redress,

Ants That Do Mischief.

The Sauba ants of tropical America carry their agricultural operations to a dangerous extent Dwelling in under ground nests, they sally forth upon the trees and cut out of the leaves large round pieces, about as big as a shilling. These pieces they drop upon the ground, where another detachment is in waiting to convey them to the galleries of the nest. There they store enormous quan- titles of these round pieces, which they allow to decay in the dark, so as to form sort of miniature mushroom bed. On the mouldering vegetable heap they have thus piled up they induce fungus to grow, and with this fungus they feed their young grubs during their helpless infarcy. Mir. Belt, the Naturalist in Nicaragua" found that native trees sui fered far less from their depredations than imported ones. The ants hardly touched the local forests, but they stripped young plantations of orange, coffee and mango trees stark naked. He luB6u1OuolJ hCCOuulS TUT Iu1S CuIlOuS fact by supposing that an internecine struggle has long been going on in the countries inhabited by the Saubas be- tween the ants and the forest trees. Those trees that best resisted the ants, owing to either some unpleasant taste or to hardness of foliage, have in the long run survived destruction; but those which were suited for the purpose of the ants have been reduced to nonentity, while the ants in turn were getting slowly adapted to attack other trees. In this way almost all the native trees have at last acquired some special means of protection against the ravages of the Ieat-cutters; so that they immdiately fall upon all imported and unprotected kinds as their natural prey. This ingenious and wholly satisfactory explanation must of course go far to console the Bra- gillian planters for the frequent loss of their orange and coffee crops.

ADVICE FOR THE BOYS.
Burdette on the Hard Way of the Trnns
 RressOr.


 RressOr.
 My son. you say it is "so hard to he good" You say it is easier to break all of the Ten Commandments than it is to keep one of them.s We'll, you mis- take. It isn't hard to be good. It's hard 10 be bad. An, yes, my boy, it's hard to be bad. Not right at the time ? oh, nol The wine is sparkling, the songs are stirring, the stories are brim- ming with humor and the air is full of laughter. You are just as bad as you know how to be, and it is lots of fun to be bad, and you never want to be good -ob, yes, it seems to be very easy. But the next morning, my boyP Where is the difficulty then? Who feels seri- ous in the morningp Whose head can't be covered by a tub2 Who is afraid and ashamed to go out on the street and meet people? Who doesn't want to see anybody? Who wants to hide? Who wonders where he was last night, and whom he met, and who saw him, and what he said, and where he went, and how he did? Not the boy who went to the sociabIe and ate cast iron pound cake and washed it down with faded lemonade. Not the young man who passed the evening in the company of the good, goody at the de- batting society.
 An, no. He didn't hear the rollicking songs that you heard, my boy, and he didn't hear the racy stories that "broke you all up." But he is feeling much better than you are this morning. He finds it easy to be "good;" very easy, indeed. But to be bad, to have the headache, to have a sour, rebellious stomach, to have uncertain eyes, to have treacherous memory, to have sense of shame, to have dread of sunshine and horror of daylight, to have a set of quivering nerves and faltering speech, to have raging thir st that water cannot appease and gnawing hunger that loathes food, to have dread of meeting your mother, my boy, and fear of see- ing your sister, and shame of speaking to your good old father-this is hard, my son. This is being bad. And look me in the eye, Telemachus, look me in the eye-honestly now, honor bright, do you think this easier than being "good ?" My dear boy, you may call your ''good" friend a milksop and a ''mammy boy" if you will, and you may in your better moments sometimes say you would like to be "good, but it's so hard; but just weigh the ''good" and the "bad," weigh them honestly, and tell me, tell me honestly, which is the harder, to be "good" or to be 'bad. " An, my boy, it is easier to be "good." ''The way of the transgressor is hard. |"

The Physical Year.

There continues to be great deal of uneasiness among the department peo- pie about changes, says a Washington letter writer. Perhaps there is no class of employees in the departments who are more disturbed than the colored people. The colorod employees of the Government are the aristocrats of their society. Some of them have aocumu- lated fine properties. l know of one colored messenger who has four or five sons in the departments. The family all live together in one house. Their aggregate salaries must reach over 5000 a year. The ancient cook of Gen. Sheridan we'll illustrates this pan icky feeling among the members of her race. "Aunt Mary" has been Sheri- dams cook for long period. When he left Chicago he set her up in small shop there. Her daughter married one of the messengers in the War Depart ment. She recently came on to visit her married daughter. She has been in Washington now about two weeks. The other day she expressed her opinion on the situation to n lady friend of Gen. Sheridan's. Aunt Mary said: "Gen. Sheridan, he is all right and was pow. erful glad of it. Desc yer Democrats can't get him out no how, but all dt odder niggers will have to go by de end of de physical year."
