WINTER MICH COWS.
Why They Should Receive Better Treat.
ment Than the Balance of the Herd.

Why They Should Receive Better Treat.
ment Than the Balance of the Herd.
The winter milch COW is familiar
and useful. and often much-neglected
and sometimes much-abused animal,
not, perhaps. Intentionally. but from a
lack of due consideration. She is gener.
ally the most serviceable beast in the
herd. The mission she fills is so inn
poriant that she ought to have a place
on every farmers premises. Her milk
fills place in the dietary of country
home that nothing else can serve as
well. 1t is the cheapest. most pala.
table and most wholesome animal food
the farm affords or the villager can
purchase. and, in great variety OF
ways, improves the relish and value OF
other food of which it is made to form
a part. We say, give us winter milch
cow, if we can have but one. The
table in summer can take care of itseli
without milk better than in winter, but
we would not. if possible to have it, &C
without in summer. TO get all the
good this valuable COW is capable OF
turning out, she must have good care.
This she does not always get. One OF
her misfOriunes is, that she is turned
out 10 buffet the cold with no better
protection than her associates that are
not giving milk. She can not endure
the cold rs well as they. The fat and
sugar which they burn up in their bodies
to give them warmth, she turns out in
her milk, making the combustion of the
heat-producing matter in her body run
low. and she pinches with the cold in
apt to overlook this fact, and hence al
lows her to suffer with the cold, and to
diminish her usefulness also.
If. from undue exposure to wintry
winds, her teats crack and become sore,
aud she endcavors in her own way to
protect herself from the pain the hands
of the mixer occasion, she is liable 10
be harshly yelled at by an enragcd
mixer, and perhaps TO get whack
over the back or the hips with milking
stool, and made to suffer needless pain.
These are some of the abuses to which
this patient and inofiensive creature IL
compelled to submit, for which she has
our heartfelt sympathy. She should
have less exposure in the open yard in
cold weather than other cattle. Sine
should have warmer stable. and drink
oftener. and have a better supply Of
food adapted to her necessities than
other stock, for her needs are greater in
these respects. 1t may be needless to
remind the reading farmer of the prop
or treatment due to this COW in cold
weather. but it may not be amiss TO Jog
his memory little when the winter
winds are bowling through the north,
in regard 10 the keen susceptibility to
cold felt by his winter mich cow, and
also bring this matter 20 the attention
of all others who keep cows in full flow
of milk in the winter season.-NationGl

WINTER GAIN.
Why the Growth OF Stock Must BE Pushed
in Cold Weather.

Why the Growth OF Stock Must BE Pushed
in Cold Weather.
Experienced feeders do not need TO be
told of the Importance Of keeping stock
in good heart during the winter, main.
tanning good average gain as the only
possible way of securing return fol
whatever feed and care the animals get
from now till they once more run on
pasture. The value of animals. at SD
much pound live weight, can OF course
be readily calculated, and 1000 pound
yearling steer, ut - hundred, is worth
just $40; now it hardly needs reason.
ing process to understand that if this
yearling steer should weigh no more on
April 30th than he did December LIST, he
is worth no more then than now, and
whatever feed he has consumed, if it be
only $40 worth, has been absolutely
wasted, while if he should make gain
of $50 pounds, at cost of SIS, the
waste would amount to only So, and he
would moreover 90 on to his summer
feed in good condition and gain far
more rapidly than his companion, whose
ratiOns have merely served to keep him
alive. and whose summer growth will
barely begin till summer is half over.
The only plan is to keep pushing the
growth of the stock kept over winter as
much Us possible, knowing that the only
thing to depend on for the expense Of
their feed and care is the growth they
make during the winter and the good
condition in which they go to pasture
in the spring-a very important item in
reckoning upon q satisfactory growth
during the summer-so important, in.
deed, that were the winters growth to
cost its equivalent in additional food re-
quired over and above that required for
mere sustenance. so that the waste would
be as great as though no growth had
been made, there can be no question but
the extra food would be well invested.
Many young, inexperienced feeders do
not realize that an animal is more likely
to cat his head off when insuilicientiv
fed, than when crowded to his full
capacity.-National Livs Stock Journal.

pastor 10 make public explanation d
all the sad and peculiar circumstances
Of his constancy and fidelity. which
proved to many more wholesome ser.
mon on these topics than anything that
could have been written from an
abstract standpoint.
This peculiar conduct on the part OF
poor Frank continued for several weeks;
but at length the end of it all came Day
after day he continued to pine away,
growing thinner and thinner, and more
and more Respondent, more and more
restless and uneasy. One Sabbath
evening in the latter part of August he
appeared at the church as usual, and
after the service returned with the pas
tor to the parsonage. and after few
moments disappeared. This was the
last ever seen or known of him. at least
by those with whom he was formerly
associated. What became of him is q
question no one has ever been able to
answer. though diligent inquiry and
search was made by the family and
others in every direction. That he
was killed by any one in the neigh
borhood seems highly improbable, since
he was general favorite wherever
known, and besides had the sympathy
of all who knew anything of his Pc
culiar history. That he was stolen
is equally improbable, because of his
utter disregard OF the ovcrtures or
enticements of any person. Is it too
much to suppose. in the absence Of
evidence to the contrary, that the grief
and loneliness of his isolated condition
his intense sorrow, if we may use
such term, for the sad end of his
young master so weighed upon his
canine heart that he wandered off, and
alone in his sadness and grief laid him
self down in some unfreguented nook
TO die of that same malady which often
times at1iicts even to the members o.
the human family under like circumstan-
ces, and known as a broken heart
Whatever we may imagine concerning
his mysterious disappearance. is no.

A Pretty Story with an Exceedingly Patri.
otic Termination.
Fast colors, or colors that will not
fade. are always desired by the ladies
when purchasing or making up fabrics
of any kind. An exchange tells how a
lady once had a silk dress dyed in very
fast colors. Tim Lockwood was joker,
and a jolly fellow generally. In the
years agOne he had charge of an impor-
tant department in dye-house in Nal
den. On certain occasion. Mrs. c.
sent in nice white silk dress to be
dyed. The fabric was slightly soiled,
and she thought this would be the
readiest way Of cleaning it. She was
not particular about the color. With
the dress she sent this note to Tim:
Exercise your own taste in regard
to color; that is. if you have any taste.
! would like the color or colors to be
bright, and warranted not to turn pale
or run"
Mrs. c. and Tim were old school,
mates, and they joked each other ON
every possible occasion. 1t so happened
that on the very day when Mrs. C-'s
silk came to hand. Mr.. Lockwood had
received from Lowell a stamp or set of
stamps, for printing the United States
flag; and perhaps the reader can fancy
Mrs. C-'s emotions when her silk
dress came home covered with beautiful
Yankee flags, the veritable stars and
stripes. With the dress came this note:
"REsPEcrRD MADAN-You bade me select
fpwN
pale or rum When these colors pale should
like to know It. and will warrant them NOT
to run They have been tried by the Eng.
lish, on more than one occasion. and BY the
piratical Tripolitans, and more recently by
the Mexicans; and think am safe in war.
ranting these colors to stand Arm on every.
occasion" =
The colors are still fast and enduring,
although this happened many years
ago.-Youth's Companion.

The Palace of 81 Pardo,

The palace where King Alfonso of
Spain died, ElPardo, is gloomy square
building. adorned with many flowers.
and belonging to no particular period
of architecture. 1t was originally a
hunting-lodge of the Castilian Kings.
and was enlarged by the Austrian
Princes. while the interior is plainl fur
nished in last century style; the only
valuable decorations being some quaint
tapestries representing the life Of Don
Quixote. A huge oak forest surrounds
the palace, making the house damp and
very unhealthy for the poor young King
in his delicate condition. Only about
three hundred people. all connected
with the palace, live near. and Ell Pardo
has no railway close by, but is an hours
drive from Madrid along bad road

NEMESIS.

When he and she were ten and eight
His little wife was she:
And both were quite content to wait
Till a man he should be.
They played together as they grew:
A tyrant lord was he
they'd quarrel when the clock was two
And make it up at three.
At fifteen he on girlish toys
Looks down with scOrnful mein:
And she disdains to play with boys
At feminine thirteen.
His matrimonial vows are cool,
At love he gayly mocks;
She boasts dearest friend at school,
And daily frightening frocks!
When twenty sees him quite q man,
Its bliss has one alloy:
She laughs at him behind her fan
And calls him such boy,
For she has lovers now galore,
Who smiles and favor crave
And lac who tyranDized of yore
Is now her humb est slavei
They now are middle aged: tits said
His chin beard now covers:
AND strange to say she's not yet wed,
In spite of all her lovers!
But vain for her to sigh for him, ID,
For so the story tells
Grown weary of caprice and within,
He's married some one else2

Thirty years ago elephants had to
be brought up in ships from Burmah
to Calcutta. They were not allowed
much fresh water. which was kept in
iron tanks arranged down the middle
of the vessel in front of them. These
tanks were closed with round lids that
screwed in, and as they had to DO
opened night and morning to give tho
animals drink the cunning creatures
soon found out the way of unscrewins
them and helping themselves in the
night when all was quiet. Men had at
last to be put on as sentries over the
tanks, OF the whole supply would have
been drunk up in couple of days.
Another thing they did was when they
received their allowance of sugar-cane
in the morning they would Immediately
lie down upon it and then try to steal
from their neighbors If any delay
took place in serving out their food
they would trumpet and bang their
trunks against the water-tanks. Great

people on passing ships wonder what
the vessel had on board. - Chatterd0r.
