CORN AND MEAL.
Reasons Why They Should BE Fed in Cold
Rather Than in Warm Weather.


Reasons why They Should BE Fed in Cold
Rather Than in Warm Weather.
Corn is very readily digestible and is
rich in oil, which in cold weather is a
most valuable factor, as it serves to keep
up the heat of the body more directly
than starch and similar substances.
With oats and barley it may form one
third of the grain ration of hard-worked
draft horses, and will keep their coats
glossy and be in every way benefit,
certainly worth more than its weight
in oats. Fed alone or in larger proper
ton it has tendency to make horses
sweat easily, and it is said to become
quickly exhausted. 1t is not safe to
feed it as freely as oats or barley, as
there is danger of impaction, just as
would be if wheat were so fed. No
doubt it is best fed ground with oats,
and the proportions already indicated
are probably the most satisfactory, the
meal being fed upon cut hay.
For cows in milk, corn meal may
form, with bran, the exclusive grain
ration and may be fed at the rate of
one pint of corn meal to each one hun
dred pounds of the cows live weight, No
doubt it will be found Just as good in
Great Britain as here, 1t gives quality
and richness to the milk, color to the
butter and abundance to the flow if the
COW is good one; but if she is inclined
to lay on fat such feeding will cause
her TO fatten, even though in full milk,
and if she gets too fat she will 90 dry.
For sheep corn is excellent, but
should be fed whole and a little at
time. For swine, the universal expert
ence from Maine to Oregon and from
Canada to Mexico, is that it will make
more and better pork than any other
food. For poultry it is in this country
the universal grain, but it is not always
the best. 1t is adm rable for its fatten-
ing properties, but for laying hens and
growing fowls it is not well to use
much. Corn fed fowls, ducks and
geese are firm-heshed and vet tender
They bear transportation alive with
little shrinkage. True yellow corn
makes yellow butter and yellow fat in
fowls. English and French tastes de-
mand white-fleshed poultry with pale,
lardy fat, and so they fettcn poultry on
rice and their fancy market fowls have
about as much flavor as boiled rice.
The American market demands yellow
fleshed fowls. with fat as yellow rs June
butter, and corn is the food to produce
that in all poultry.-Ercha9qe.

WE WE'RE CHILDREN ONCE.

We were children when we thought
That the heavens were very near,
And that all our mothers taught
Would tomorrow lie made clear;
When we questioned everywhere,
Dreading not Il full reply,
When the world was just rs fair
And us distant as the sky.
When the marvcls that we dreamed
Waited for our waking looks,
When our fairy fables seemed
Truer than our lesson Looks;
When for all who well had striven
Sweet the ready garlands grew,
And when sleeping, unforgiven,
Was what nobody could do.
We were children when we feared
Only darkness, never light,
For our troubles disappeared
Always, II they came in sight;
When our love was like our breath
Careless, natural. unperceived;
When we wondered about death
As u thing to be believed.
When we drew a severing line
Good from evil, night from day
On the one side, all divine;
On the other-look away!
Just because we seemed to know
Nothing wrong could touch the pure,
And. our loved ones all were so.
When all WEAKNESS of life
Was but waiting for bliss,
When all bitterness and strife
Could be finished with kiss;
When all spoken words were meant
When no promises could break,
When all storms were only sent
For the pretty rainbow's sake.
Over all the lovely scene
Necessary darkness flowed;
Now the years that intervene
Hide that once familiar road.
We remember all the way
Oh, it was so fair, so dear!
Where ii led we can not say,
But we know it led not here.
For the labor wins no crown,
And the strong hope dies in pain,
And the twilight settles down,
And love comforts us in vain.
We have watered lifeless plants,
FalsehoOd fills the common air,
Every foOtstep descendants,
There is parting everywhere.

Enter and the path shall wind
AS string of tender light,
As living wreath untwlned.
Nature wastes no drop Of dew,
Past the dying root it flows;
What you did you never knew
TIL there sprang sudden rose.
Every branch breaks out in song
CAN that birds say must be true)
Right grows in the heart of wrong
Yours the task to let it through!
Every gathered leaf decays;
Wait for one immortal wreath!
What is love with life that plays
To the love that lives in death2
Twilight grows so sweet aad clear,
We can tell that morn is nigh;
And our dead have come rs near
As our childhoods happy sky.
Did the darkness only seem?
Was 1t all our own false will?
Was our life little dream?
Father, are we children still?
