Ration for Milk.

VIE all want COW to do her best.
What is her best2 Is it to consume nearly
dollars worth, or even dollars worth,
of feed day to secure an increase of q
few ounces of butter2 No. Should we
not consider her as doing her best when
she is fed economically enough to enable
her to hold her own and give most profit
to her owner2 But cows differ in so
many ways that no universal ration can
be recommended, not even one proper
toned to the live weight. When upon
grass or good hay they may vary the
amount of what they cat according to
the demands of the system, but as 1t is
swell known that while for deer or wild
cow the varied herbsge of the hilsides
may be perfect ration, for cow bred
for !, coo years to give more milk and
butter than any natural wild cow gives
to her calf, the ration of grass alone is
not sufficient to supply all tho wants of
cow giving large quantity of rich
milk. 1t should be supplemented by
grain and phosphate salts.
After giving the subject considerable
thought have come to think that ] per
cent. of cows live weight may always
be safely given to healthy cow, pro-
yided one-third of it be bran. We need
bran for the phosphates. Thus 1000
pound cow would receive daily ten
pounds of rich grain feed (say equal
parts of corn meal, ground oats and pea
meal and five pounds of bran. She
would eat less grain, but would probably
produce greater value in quantity of but.
ter, enough to pay for the additional
feed, and more, too. It is certain that
in testing cows to show their value as
economical milk and butter producers
we do not want to force them or train
them to eat more than they can perfectly
digest.
The enormous tests made by some Jer-
sey breeders have done injury to the
breeds by unsettling the faith of some
breeders in tests, and by causing other
people to feel as if phenomenal tests were
the only ones to strive for. Hence, as
they will not take the risk of high feed
ing of their cows, they make no tests at
all. The 'tgrass only' tests have, how
ever, been numerous, and some of them
excellent. The most satisfactory tests
have been made with grass and few
quarts of meal or bran, much as have
indicated. Colonel Weed, in N ?. 1ri-

The Cork Tree.

It is not generally known, perhaps,
that the cork tree is really peculiar kind
of oak, the cork being the soft cellular
bark lying just inside the exterior woody
covering. 1t is removed by making
several longitudinal clefts up and down
the trunk, and then girdling the latter
with horizontal incisions. The opera
tion is not performed, however, until the
tree has attained certain age, generally
fifteen years, and the first crop is en-
ployed only for inferior purposes. Seven
wears afterward the tr:e will have an.
other coating of bark, which is stripped
and used for making corks, and so on,
every five, or seven years according to
the quality of the ground. Between the
cork and the tree there is another bark
that is used for tanning, but this Is only
removed when the tree is cut down. 1t
is curious fact, too, that if any yportlon
of this inner bark be destroyed further
formation of the cork on tho injured
SPOT ceases. Culticator.

RELIGIOUS READING.
The Little Girl Of Gettysburg.

The Little Girl Of Gettysburg.
Twas Gettysburgs last day,
The dead and wounded lay
On trampled fields and ridges battle-torn.
Among the outer posts.
Around the guarded ho ts,
Rode Hancock, watchful, on the fated morn.
And lo little child,
With eyes and ,tresses wild,
Close to the lines had strayed, and met him
there,
And tightly to her breasi;
A heavy load she prest-
A musket!-all her slender strength could
bear.
"My brave and pretty dear,
Tell me, how come you hare
Uron the field before the fight is donel"
Then, at her lisped reply,
Tears dimmed the generals eye:
my papa's dead, but here's my papa's gun" !"

THE HOME DOCTOR.
Treatment of Bruises.

Tho St. Louis Medical and Surgica'
Journal says that for bruises there il
nothing to compare with the tincture or
a strong infusion of capsicum annuum
mized with an equal bulk of mucilage Of
gum-arabic, and with the addition of a
few drops of of glycerine. This should
be painted all over the bruised surface
with a came's hair pencil and allowed
to dry on, second or third coating being
applied as soon as the first is dry. II
done Immediately after the injury is in
flcted, this treatment will almost inva.
riably prevent the blackening of tn
tissue. The same remedy has no equa
in rheumatic, sore, or stiff neck.

Food For the Sick.

Solid food should never be given to
q sick person without the doctors special
permission. He will say when, in his
Judgment, its use may be begun safely,
and thus the nurse is relieved from all re-
sponsibility. A con, alescent's diet
should be digestible and tempting: The
appetite is beginning to return and must
be encouraged, except after typhoid
fever, when it has to be suppressed.
During extreme illness food IS a dis
agreeable necessity, to be disposed OF as
quickly as possible. There is no desire
for it, it is swallowed under compulsion
as a necessary but nauseous medicine and
to escape from the opportunities OF the
nurse. In convalescence it is looked
forward to with eagcrness, and the dainty
repasts are the events of the day. They
should be made to look as enticing as
they can be. and all the appointments
should be daintily bright and clean. A
teaspoonful of tea spilled in the saucer
from full cup seems trlhing matter
to q we'll person, but it is enough to
spoil the comfort of IN invalid's meals.
Food that is intended to be hot must be
served very hot on well warmed plate
set crer bowl of boiling water and COW
cred in It's transit from the kitchen. A
cup of lukewarm soup would be set away
untastcd, whereas if it had been really
hot it would have been eaten and en-
joyed. Things that are intended to be
cold should he left in the ice box or the
cool dairy until the last moment before
serving. Tepid blanc mango is not an
inviting article of diet, and custard,
which would be delicious ice cold, loses
its attractiveness when it is milk warm.
Strawberries and all fruit should be
placed on plate over bowl filled with
chopped ice, and sliced tomatoes should
be laid on ice Attention to these little
points makes all the difference between
comfort and discomfort, between food
being refused as unpalatablc or eaten
with relish. The prettiest china that
the house affords should be brought out
to embcllish the convalescent's tray. The
eye must be pleased as we'll as the palate,
and victory is won when the invalid
says: "Oh, how delicious it looks !"
Butter should be rolled into tiny balls
with the grooved paddles sold for the
purpose, and bread cut in delicate slices
divided into four.-Gooa Housekeeping.

The FouleSt Blot.


There is no fou!er blot on the face OF
our country to-day than the grog-shop.
Honest men who love their homes should
hate the saloon as they hate loathsome
disease. There is no reason why tue
rum-seller should be regarded by honest
men as any better than criminal. The
temperance movement in this country
will make wonderful progress when the
rum-se'ler is just where he belongs in
the estimation of respectable people.
The saloon has no respectability, because
it works only to destroy the elements of
self respect. ! It replaces hope with de-
spair, kills courage, dims manhood and
RUNS health. It has no right to the re-
spect OF man, and he who gives it even
the encouragement of silence is an en-
emy of morality. See to it that no son
nor daughter of yours can ever learn from
you that the saloon is entitled to any
thing but theR adherence. .-Rural Nsu
Yorker.
The Prohibition vote in Texas at the
recent election was from %, 900 to 80, 900,
being an increase Of. nearly 1000 per cent.
over the st. John vote. One of the
bition nominees for Congress came
within 100 votes of being elected, an
other cut the Democratic majority down
10000, and several Prohibition members
of the Legislature were elected.

The Same Fellow.

The man who in the summer days,
When perspiration damped the brow,
Closed tight your door and went his way
Is back again,
And, now and then
His fiendish instinct he obeys
To draw from men
Profanity, he rec!is not how
He leaves the door wide open now.
