Wonders OF Diet.

The Roman soldier who built such won,
derful roads and carried such a weight of
armor and luggage as would crush the
average farm hand, lived on coarse brown
bread and sour wine. They were temper.
ate in diet. regular and constant in exer-
else. The Spaniard peasant works every
day and dances half the night. vet eats
only his black bread, onions and water
melons. The Smyrna porter eats only a
little fruit and some olives. He eats no
beef, pork or mutton, yet he walks of
with bis load of eight hundred pounds.
The coolie. fed on rice, is more active and
can endure more than the negro fed on tat
meat. The heavy work of the world is
not done by men who eat the greatest
quantity. The fastest and longest-winded
horse is not the biggest eater. Modera-
ton in diet seems to be the prerequisite
for endurance.

A Profitable Little Herd.

! At a recent exhibition of the North Ken
nebec Agricultural Society, Mr.. Joseph
Percval of Waterville exhibited choice
little string of four thoroughbred JERSEYS
of the Maine State Registry, of which he
gives good record. Mr.. Percival has
long bred Jerseys, as an amateur village
farmer would breed them. Con modest
scale), has had great faith in and love for
them as the ''tamily cow" and kept an
exact record of their produce. The three
cows exhibited by Mr.. Percival were five,
six and seven years old, respectively, and
two year old hefer. In connection with
his exhibit Mr.. Percival filed statement
of the produce of these four cows for the
first eight months of this year, from jan
uary to September 81, 1886. During
this period he sold from them 756 quarts
of cream, for which he received 1896. OS :;
1895 quarts of whole milk, at $19S. "A !;
2290 quarts of skinned milk, for which
was received sos 10, and 1873 pounds of
butter, sold at a uniform price of 25 cents
per pound, or a total of $50. 3S. In addi-
ton to the above, what skinned milk was
not sold or used in the family was fed to
shoat that is worth $500. This makes a
total of $4,000 or Sl29.l5 to each of the
tour cows. Their feed has been good hay
or good pasture when at grass. and six
pounds equal parts of corn meal and mid
dlings-an equivalent of five quarts OF
each. given at two feeds per day, night
and morning. The pTovender ration is
first scalded up with boiling water, and
then reduced to Cruel or porridge by
adding cold water. This is poured in till
pailiul is formed, when it is fed to the
cows when warm. Mr.. Percival thinks
his cows do better on provender prepared
in this way than If fed in any other condi,
ton; and upon this matter he has expert
mented considerably during the past fif-
teen wears. His customers all come to
the house for their cream and milk, which
materially reduces the cost of carrying on
the dairy. These facts in the manage
ment of profitable little herd OF JERSEYS
by one of the best private dairymen in
Kennebec county teach a good lesson to
our farmers

Autumn Flowing.

The one chief argument in behalf of fall
plowlng is that it gets the work out of the
way. If the blowing is done in the fall it
does not have to be done in spring, and
the seasons work at very busy period
is greatly forwarded in consequence. But
it must not be forgotten that this getting
the work done is really one of the least of
the many reasons why blowing should be
performed in autumn. The soil is pulver-
lied, the grass roots decay and furnish
nourishment to the crop to be put upon
the land, weeds are destroyed, insects
killed, and the soil better fitted for a seed
bed, by the action of frost and snow, than
could possibly be the case if
the land was not plowed till
spring. This is especially true OF sward
land, as stubble ground (corn or grain
stubble) is better to be plowed in spring,
especially in locations where the soil is at
all liable to wash. But farmers must re-
member that the highest benefit to come
from autumn blowing, comes where the
work is done early. The earlier the bet
ter-even if in August. 1t is now Octo-
Der, and the fall blowing, if not already
done, should not be delayed week long
er. The sod wants chance to become
thoroughly rotted before spring, and it
cannot be if not turned over till Just as
the ground shuts up tor winter. All argu-
ments, as well as the best practice of the
best farmers, favor the early turning over
of green sward in the fall for spring crop
ping.

AT the late National Farmers Congress,
held at st. Paul. Mimi, resolutions were
passed asking that the Department of Ag
riculture be made a Cabinet Department,
and the Commissioner an officer having
equal powers with other members of the
Cabinet. The Congress also proposes to
at once deal practically with the expan-
sion of the Signal Service so as to extend
its benefits to agricul,urists, to suppress
speculative trading. to regulate freight
traffic on railways, and to aid the protec-
ton of American industry by duties on
imports.
