The Cheapest Food for Cows.

Most dairymen suppose that hay
Is the cheapest food for their cows,
and think It a misfortune to be short
Of hay-which is In sense true, for
everyone should try to produce all
the hay required by his but
1t Is seldom true that the market
price Of grain is higher than hay. II
we consider the relative nutritive
value Of hay and grain, or product
OF grain, we find that good meadow
hay or clover is no cheaper at @13 to
$14 per ton than good wheat or bran
or middlings at $40 or $2l per ton.
or corn meal at $22 or $23 per ton, or
linseed cake or meal ut $32 to $38
per ton. Now this does not mean
that corn meal, niddlings or oil
meal, would be just as appropriate
for the complete food Of q cow rs
hay. We know that such concen-
trated food would be quite danger
Gus to feed a COW. without some
coarse fodder, but it means that the
nutriment In these foods will be as
cheap to make up any deficiency in
the ration at these prices rs hay at

when hay is dear in the dairy dis
tricts, instead of buying hay the
dairymen should buy grain In some
form to help him out. The grain will
be cheapest, and his cows come
through in much better condition
for the milking season than IL they
had all the good hay they could eat.
All cow requires over twelve to
fifteen pounds Of hay should be

The Right Kind Of a Hay Cock.

Pushing or throwing hay into Q
bunch or heap, is not making cock.
A cock Of hay is q miniature stack.
We want to make it 50 that it will
shed water. In making q stack, the
first and most important rule is to
keep your middle full" And SO it
is in making u cock. The middle or
or center Of the cock must always
be the highest-not when you finish
merely, but at all times from the
start to the end. And in fact this is
all there is to it. Dressing up the
cock by trimming it up at the bottom
and raking down the sides with the
fork is all very well, but unless the
cock is well made from the start, one
Of our heavy showers will go right
through it. In old times, before
moving machines, and steel rakes,
and unloading forks, when the labor
OF making hay was far greater than
present, and when we wanted to
save it after we had got it, the old
man told us young ones, to always
turn your fork" We were not al
lowed to take u forkful Of hay and
set it down on the cock, but we
must lift it up above the cock and
turn it over, SO that the fork, instead
Of being under the hay, should be
on top. In our own practice we do
not always adhere to this plan when
starting the cock, but in putting on
the last two Or three forksful, turn
your fork" should be the invariable
rule. There is no special advantage
In making excessively large cocks.
In this climate, a cock fonr to five
feet in diameter ut the bottom, and
about five feet high, il well and COM
pactly made, will answer.-[Amcri-
can Agriculturist for August.

to the war 1t was custom for the

the demand for the nomination for

An official announcement Of the out
break Of trichianasis at Magdeburg,
Germany, there being lob cases, sixty
nix Of which proved fatal, states that
the epidemic" was traced to single
pig, and in every case to the eating Of
the raw flesh. When the German ma
tion at homo give up eating raw ham
and other pig flesh raw, trichinn-;n-
tested human bodies will cease to be
found there. and until that time an em-
barge upon the American hog will not
mitigate their sufferings from this tor
rible disease. The parasite is not con-
fined to the pig-is even rare in swine
unless fed on raw flesh garbage. Rats,
mice, various other vermin. barn yard
fowls, and other indiscriminate flesh
eaters are infested. The temperament
Of boiling water kills the germ. Hence
thoroughly-cooked meat Of any kind is
entirely free from danger.

TEE game Of judicial shuttlecock
which has been playing in Ohio for
several years past over the Scott
Liquor law, which taxed the saloons
selling whisky 1900 and beer 800,
seems ct last to be ended. The Su-
preme Court has just decided that the
saloon-keepers cannot recover the 81
O0O, 900 Of license tax which was paid
in during the first stage Of the game
when the law was supposed to be con.
stitudonal and before the era Of re-
versing decisions had set in. This de-
cision, like al the others, is reached by
. divided court, and the matter ends
with two judges still in dissent This
+ peculiarly unfortunate. Il is diff
cult to convince the people that judicial
decisions represent the very essence Of
justice and wisdom when tho judges
themselves are unable to agree in re-
gard to them. However, this last de.
cision viii probably be accepted =
final simply on the theory that the
matter must Be settled some time Or
other.

recently at Leipzig at the age Of GS
years, was the last male descendant Of
the poet, and for many years had been

favorite Of Mendelssohn, whose pupil
he had been in his youth. Many o

The Boston Saturday Erening Ga
zette tells this story Of the late Rev.
DR.. Thomas Whittemore. One Sum
day Messrs. Ruggles and Lucas, his
sons-in-law, attended his church. DR..
Whittemore never used notes, and on
this occesion was very diffuse. When
the sermon was about half through,
Ruggles pulled out his watch. Whit
temore saw him and at once stopped,
Looking over the pulpit he said
"Young man, you can put that watch
back, for you cannot by looking at il
shorten my sermon one minute" One
can imagine tho sensation in the au'
dience and the feeling Of Ruggles and
Lucas. Suffice it to say that they never
afterward attended church when they
knew their reverend father-in-law was
to hold forth.

which she thought she recognized as
the father Of q girl working near her
at q perfumer's. The girl came, recog-
nized her father, and his clothing also,
and swooned. Coming TO, she fetched

worked in Paris. They all signed the

body had been found at Mendon, near
which their father often worked. Tho

Miscellaneous Notes.

The estimated wheat yield for 1885
is 363, 100000 bushels.
There were 100000 sheep in Mis-
souri, in 1884 than IN 1882.
Level culture for potatoes is grow
ing In favor everywhere.
Strawberry plants that have fruit
ed two seasons should be dug over.
The exclusive feeding Of clover to
cows gives hard cheese and soft but
ter.
Cutting Of soft wood plants, such
a. geraniums, can be made this
month and next.
Damp hay, half-cured, will mould,
and the old idea OF salt being .
preservation is absurd.
Good butter and cheese cannot be
made from the milk Of cows which
are deprived OF pure water.
Rosin and tallow in equal parts
make good covering for wounds in
fruit trees and other trees.
The caulifiower thrives in rich,
moist mellow soil and as it is rank
feeder requires high manuring.
Fill your chura but half full and
see that your temperature is right,
II you expect the butter to come
readily.
The use OF kerosene Us an insect
icide on fruit trees should be follow
ed with judgment: an application
will do great damage.
Carbonate Of soda is an excellent
remedy for scours in calves. Rhu-
barb stalk boiled down is also said
to be good for the scours.
At this season the hens need grass
as well as stock. II they are kept
in confinement pieces Of grass sod
should be placed in the yard daily.
A good use to make of weeds that
are allowed to mature in the fields
is for mulching fruit trees. Pull
them by hand and put them in a

THERE are indications that the Nor.
mons think Of leaving Utah to estab.
lish themselves in the Mexican State Of

have never been entirely subdued BY

Brigham Young Jr. and Herbert T.

in Utah to be the purpose Of the lead
ers Of the Mormon Church to transfer
their headquarters from Salt Lake
City to this point in Mexico, and begin
there the building OF . city of refuge
for the faithful who find that they must
get beyond the reach OF the laws Of the

Of the Mormon organization, is now II
years Of age. but lie found it necessary
to make the long and arduous journey
from Salt Luke to Sonora in the dead
Of winter to confirm the treaty made by
Grant and Young with tile yaqui In
dians. Within q few weeks the Mex
ican troops have gained decisive VIC
tory over this tribe. and it seems likely
that ito power is broken and il so the
Mormon treaty cannot be of much
value. The Mormons arc now attempt
ing to buy from the Mexican Govern
ment the lands which they tried st
first to secure from the Inlians. The
Mexican authorities are disposed to
not with some caution. as they know
pretty we'll the trouble the polygamists
have caused in the United States. In
deed. they have informed the Mormons
that the Mexican laws do not tolerate
polygamy, and if they come there they
must expect to be law-abiding. The
Mormons are no doubt anxious to 90.
cure place Of refuge outside Of tho
United States, but they may have some
difficulty in effecting . lodgment in
Mexico.
