FARM and HOSEHOLD.
FALL FEEDING OF Mich COWS

!
The pastures begin to fail, as "a
rule, the latter part of July, from
which time soiling in part, either
with green corn fodder, lucerne,
millet, oats OF clover, must be re-
sorted to for keeping up how Oh
milk until COWS 60 to the after
math. 1t is an important point 10
the dairyman that the flow OF milk
be kept up, for if cows are allowed
to fall off when the pastures fan, IL
is next to impossible to bring them
back again by fall feeding.
AS the season advances and &C.
casional frosts occur, COWS are very
liable to fall of in their milk yield,
if precautions are not taken to
prevent 1t. Not only has the grass
lost much of its nutritive value,
but cold storms and frosty nights
reduce the general tone Of the AMI
malls system. 1t IS wise, there
fore, at this season to use a little
bran or ground grain. or a little
corn. 1t will also pay to house the
animals in inclement weather, even
if the temperature is not very low.
A COW in milk is very susceptible
to changes in the weather, as all
attentive dairymen must know.
Remember that at no season OF
the year does stock, and especially
mich cows, require more care than
during the cold, stormy weather
liable to come in the autumn.-
Shelter and extra feeding pays at
such a time, for VIVA. is lost during
the fall Is seldom regained through
out the entire winter. Good shell
ter is economy in that it saves feed
for every one knows or ought to
know that unless an animal is kept
warm by artificial means, large
percentage of its food goes to
furnish warmth. This subject has
been so many times considered
that any additional remarks seem
superfluous. So no more will be
added except a quotation from as
good authority as Wizards "Prac-
iical Dairy Husbandry;p
The secretiOns are always DIS
tnrbed by influences, that cause
pam or uneasiness, and every
shlver Of a half frozen COW Will
make itself felt in the milk pail
1t will often, therefore, be matter
of economy for dairymen TO begin
feeding cabbages, the tops of roots,
or small quantities OF grain, inst
as soon as the grasses Of pas.
ture have been touched with irosts
A daily allowance of bran, shorts
or ground feed of barley or oats,
or oats and corn, in the proportion
OF two parts oats to one of corn,
will be of great service in keeping
up flow of milk and at the same
time keeping the animal in health
and condition.

How to Treat and Feed Calves.

a New York farmer says in the
World "Let the calf run with the
COW till the milk is fit to use. \
new born calf is weak like baby;
its stomach is not strong enough
to digest a quar-, or two of milk
that is drunk quickly or poured
down its throat only twice day,
and it is cruel to compel il to DO
80. Il needs 70 suck a little at a
time and often. Besides il learns
TO drink much easier after it has
grown strong by ranuing with its
mother two or three days. By all
means use a calf feeder, which
makes a calf suck the milk in a
natural manner. Try this once
and your calves will do 50 much
better that you will never raise
another without the feeder. After
it learns to suck the feeder which
will not be long, it can be taught
to first drink a part of its mess
and then suck the rest, and so
weaned from the feeder gradually.
Finally, don't he so cruel as to feed
a calf only twice a day for the first
few weeks.
"In teaching a calf TO drink it is
generally necessary to lei it suck
your finger while holding Its mouth
in the milk. Strange to say, there
are even now farmers that don't
know this, bat will let the poor
thing 60 hungry till it will either
drink or has to be killed.
Gan excellent calf-feeder is made
10y boring a one halfinch hole
through the side OF wooden pail
Just above the bottom and directly
under one OF the ears. Then take
d piece Of nursing bottle tubing
three or four inches long "a short
piece can be got Of any druggist
aud a strip Of heavy sheeiiug about
five inches wide and q loot or two
long, with wide hem or fold
on one edge, aud roll up the tabe
snugly in the 9th tin it makes a
roll large enough to fit rather
tightly Ia the hole 10 the pail, bat
not tightly enough to press the
rlbber tube together and close il.
The folded edge Of the cloth makes
ie end of of the roll laser THAI
the other. Now draw this roll
larger than the hole from the in.
sile Of the pail, fasten the inner
and larger end with few tacks,
hem down the loose edge OF the
cloth, and it is done. The milk
runs slowly through the tube, and
the calf learns TO suck the thing at
once"

They Saw They We're Cheated.

Old Deacon Blizzard, "about two

Don't be tempted 20 keep too
many fowls together. Small focks
carefully tended will give much
better results.
Have your ben house so con.

possible.
The rOOsts should be low, es-

There should be ample means Of

SLEEP AFTER A MEAL.
THE BRAIN SHOULD REST WHILE
THE STOMACH DIGESTS THE
FOOD.


THE STOMACH DIGESTs THE
FOOD.
From the Westminster Review.
There is a widespread supersti.
ton, cherished by the great ma
jorlty of the people, that to sleep
Immediately after they have taken
food is to endanger health, to IA
vor the onset of apOplexy, etc.,
a superstition based on the assump'
ton that during sleep the brain is
normally congested. There is, no
doubt, such a thing as cOngestive
sleep, bat during normal sleep the
brain is anemic. When a person
has taken a fairly abundant lunch
or dinner the stomach demands a
special influx of blood wherewith
to accomplish its work of digestion;
no organ can more easily comply
with that demand than the brain,
which, when in full activity, is suf-
fused with a maximum amount OF
the vital fluid. But derivation
of blood from TIE brain to the stOm-
ach can only take place, except in
exceptionally full.bloOded and Wig
orous persons, on the condition
that the cerebral functions be mean
while partially or wholly suspend
ed. Hence many people after TAX
inc dinner teel indispOSed for men,
tai action and not a few long for
sleep. The already partially
anemic brain would TAIN yield up
10 the stomach a still further sup
Div of blood and yield itself u to
refreshing sleep. Doing so ltga'ns
new strength meanwhile digestion
proceeds energetically and soon
body aud MUD are agall equipped
to contnue in full force the battle
of life. But superstition the child
of ignorance, intervenes, declares
that sleep during digestion is
dangerous, adnoniShes the would
be sleepers to struggle against
their perilous inclination, and
though telling them that after din
ner they may sit awhile, assures
them of the alage, "After supper
walk a mile"
The millions of its victims con-
tnue, therefore, the strife to which
! it condemns them and ignore the
suggestions offered to them by the
lower ANIMALS, who have always
practiced the lessons Of sound
physiology by sleeping after feed
ing whenever they are allowed to
DO SO. Hence the human brain
and human stomach OF such vic.
tins contend with each other
during the digestive process; the
brain impeled by superstition,
strives to work and demands blood
to work with; while the stomach,
stimulated by its contents, strives
to carry on its marvellous chemistry
and demands an ample supply of
blood for the purpose. The result
OF the struggle is that neither is
able to doits work well the brain
is enfeebled by being denied its
natural rest daring the digestive
process and the healthy function of
the stomach degenerates into
dyspepsia.
