Charley was to busy 20 answer Just

Your fears that slough hay Is not good
for calves are well founded. Though in
a dry year like the one Just passed, it is
of not so rank growth, and OF better
quality than it usually is, it Is at best
composed mainly of indigestible woody
fibre, and quite deficient in flavor. It
gives neither tone TO the appetite nor di-
gestive organs proper, nor is it safe fed
In large quantities, as it may cause dry
murrain, especially if water Is not pienG
full, or Is so cold that cattle will not drink
much of it. Avery common, but dan
ger5us practice is 10 sprinkle little
weak brine on the favorless hay at each
feed to induce the animals TO eat more.
II plenty of good water is furnished, no
great injury may be done, as the salt
creates a thirst for more drink; but
If water is withheld there is great dan
ger, especially ia no grain is fed Dry
corn fodder, which has been expoced

rough and grain food can be determined.
More grain is needed with good hay than
with poor, of course. By mixing the two
together before feeding, each aids in
rendering the other more digestible. The
grain as well as the coarse food is then re.
turned TO the mouth in Illuminating ami
mails and is masticated before passing on
to tne second, third and fourth stomachs.
When eaten alone by cattle, grain usually
passes over the opening of the first sto-
mach, and whole undigested kernels find
their way into the droppings The grain
passing into the stomach of the horse or
the true stomach of the OK is more easily
assimilated when mixed with the trough
ness" The rough hay gives bulk to exer-
else the muscles used in digestion and
furnishes some nuiriment, while the con.
densed grain foods make an average pro.
portion of digestible substance for the
whole. Equal parts of oats and bran
thus mixed with a sufficient amount OF
coarse fodder will make pretty good
ratIon-the needs of each animal vary so
much we do not venture the exact pro-
portion. Rather more weight of hay
should be used that of grain. Corn meal
and ground oil-cake occasionally added
will give profitable variety TO the food

Birds and Trees and Fruit.

There is great deal of nonsense
written about birds and their relations TO
fruit, owing 20 defective observation.
One writer has recently charged birds with
the oxidation OF sap forming gum around
cedars and pines. The trouble is vita
the borers, while the birda arc on hand
to eat the boters. But the funny part of
the story ia that ne believes the birds do
not caro- for the sap, but make 10 exude,
and form sticky fly trap on which in
sect. are caught. The birds then come
after the insects for dinner. This is
specimen Of good deal of science that
a class OF very imaginative observers
give us. Such birds might as well make
Gy paper, and are really TO be credited
with more wit than human beings. There
is no question about the reasoning
powers in all living creatures; but the
argument is absurd that, on such super
fetal evidence, attributes such foresight
TO our ssp-suckors. The simple fact in
the case is that borers have attacked our
pines and spruces all up and down the
Atlantic states, and insects are caught on
freshly oxuded juice occasionally, and
birds eat them when caught. Bus in
ysry short time the sap hardens over and
a gy can walk on il.
rhe habits Of birds vary immensely
with circumstances. In locality whore
food il scarce robins and cat birds eat a
large amount of stra sberries and rasp-
berries. But If such fruits are very
generally raised in any locality their
depredations will not be 10 all serious.
On that account it is best 20 take the use
full Dir dB into our estimate when plant
ing. Birds are exceedingly plentiful on
my land because veil fed and protected,
but the amount taken ty tn en- Is scarce

They pay for al they take by killing
worms AMI by their songs. could not
hire another orchestra as cheaply. They
must eat but none of our native birds
waste The English sparrow alone is
rascal. Him / will not feed He Is use
less when fed, and mutiplies so rapidly
as to eat everything before him. The
blackbird ia also rogue, who steals in
crowds and q full OF mischief | do not
think we have any use for him. The
crow il not by any means bad fellow,
except for his killing young birds. A
few heudfula Of corn flung about corn
field, will satisfy him, 50 that "a VIII not
pull. But / have seen them pail baby
robins out of their nests and fly of to
dsyour them or feed them to their own
young.
On the whole we must encourage the
birds 10 come TO as or We shall be unable
70 cope with insects. And II they do
come we must consider them a. part OF
the family, to be cared for, aud yet crows
are such wise fellows that they may be
quite different in habits in diferant 10
calities; on the whole do not dislike
them. Blackbirds, hawks and English
sparrows must be outlawed and the rest
OF our feathersd neig encouraged.

Mince he.

Mrs. Harris.-Mince PICS are a luxury
that many wise people abstain from, on
account of their indigestibility, yet from
early habit, special or holiday occasions
hardly seem complete without them;
while in May families, on account part
ly of their convenience, they are the
standard pic for the entire winter. One
essential is very finely chopped, tender
beef, in which there is no gristle. To
each poaLd after it is chopped, take 3
lbs chopped apples, half a pound leaf
suet also chopped, Id each of seeded
and chopped raisins and of curraRts, half
pound citron sliced very thin, one Id
brown sugar, the juice and grated rind of
2 lemons, half nutmeg, a teaspoonful
each of Gilman on and cloves, and enough
boiled cider to IN rake it spread easily.
When these ingredients are well mixed |
put the mass over the fire in preserving
kettle and cock it carefully until the
apples are soft and the whole has rich
taste. If not found as sweet as liked l
add more sugar.-Packed closely in jars
after this cooking, it will keep all Winter
in cool place, and it is but few min
utes work to make up the pies as needed.
