The following from one of the most careful
dairymen Of England in relation to the feeding
and care of milch COWS corresponds nearly to
the practice OF the best and most successful
dairymen in the United States. It will be
noted that in England as in the United States
the craze for cooked food is not participated
in by practical men. The writer declares;
| know of no food for summer equal to grass
grown on sound newly-limed or well bOned land,
an allowance OF meal made from home
grown corn and maize. Oats, beans, peas,
wheat, barley, and wheat-bran, are all good,
and are better mix together in such proportions
as the state OF the pastures and the condition
OF the COW indicate. The extra food in the
form OF corn, meal, and bran, should consist
chiefly of crushed oats and bran.
For winter keep have found good hay, sound
swedes grown on good land-and without being
forced by artificial manures- maize, meal, and
homegrown coEn and bran to answer well.
Good oats straw is far better than poorly secur-
ed hay. Crushed oats, carrots, and sweet up
land hay produce irst-class butter in winter.

TO any other root. When the land is too strong
for roots, sweet ensilage may, with advantage,
be used as a substitute. think il better not to
give breeding cattle, except for few weeks at
ter caviDg cooked food believe that the d.
gestive powes OF COW largely fed on cooked
food become impaired, and though she may yield
more milk in the winter she will not thrive
well in summer. In-calf and heifers
should always be pastured separately from those
which are not in cBlf.
This cow-house should be lofty and we'll ven
tilated in the ROOT, aud should have southern
aspect, and should be on rising ground.
The stalls for pair of ,250-lbs cows should
be fully eight feet wide otherwise, when in calf,
they might not get sufficient rest. The floor
should slope little, that the water may read
lily get away, but the cows should stand on gra-
ted wooden platforms raised in front about three
inches and behind about four inches from the
ground. BY this arrangement the cows stand
on level surface, and less straw il required for
bedding Cows shonld be groomed daily when
housed and should be turned out for water and
exercise in winter twice daily.
In relation to the grooming Of cattle it should
be remembered that it is not necessary when
cattle and horses are kept in yards and sheds.
Animals exposed TO the weather are provided
with scurf which collects outside the skin,
forming a blanket, it were, to protect them
from the changes OF weather. In the case of
animals kept in stables, however, which do not
get exercise, the careful cleaning Of the skin by
the brush is most important, especially in mich

The Water Works Deficiency.


LETTER FROM CAPT. HOXIE CRITICIsING THE
MANNER IN WHICH THE WORK HAS BEEN
CONDUCTED.
The water works deficiency appropriation is
the only District matter before the House ap-
preparation committee now, everything else
having been disposed Of Mr.. Wilson, who is in
charge of District matters, says he expects this
matter will be reported within a few days. The
committee have been about ready to report
several times, but each time some new infor-
nation on the subject has come before them to
demand their attention and delay final action,
Mr.. Wilson has received letter from Capt
Hoxie criticising the manner in which the work
upon the water works extension has been con-
Quoted. He says he was the originator of the
plan to cut the tunnel through solid rock. and
contends that it could have been done without
striking assures had those in charge of the
work sunk the shafts as deep as he contem-
plated in his plan. He submits plans by which
he says the work can be completed at an ex-
pense of about 5000, 900 instead OF the $500 900
asked for for that purpose. Among other things
he suggests the use of concrete instead of ma
sorry to fill in the assures Of the rock met with
in tunneling.
Mr. Wilson will have conference with Gen.
Newton before making his report, and will
probably favor the plans approved by the engi-
neer department. and recommend an appropri-
alton accordingly.
