The greatest daily gain in live weight
from birth made by any of the prize win
ners at the recent birmingham cattle show
was 2.54 pounds, TO be credited TO Mr..
Pixies cross bred steer, which gained the
second prize in the yearling class, the gross
weight being | ,56S pounds at the age of GA
days. Sir J. Swinburne's first prize beast
i'll the same class comes out with daily
gain of 2.34 pounds. The latter record
was just beaten by Hereford exhibited by
MIR. A. Z. Turner, of Pembridge, which
was second in the yearling class for that
breed, weighing ] 1856 pounds at the age of
667 days, and thus having made daily
gain of 2.3S pounds. Among the prize
winners over years old the best record is
2.35 pounds, gained by the shorthorn
which carried off for Mr. II. Wright, of
Norton Heath, the champion prizes at
Norwich and Lincoln, the live weight of
the beast being 2,226 pounds at the age of
9i4 days. The Queens Hereford, which
came very near winning the principal prize
of all, and which did gain the champion
prize given for the best OK or steer, made
n good record, weighing 1916 pounds at
the age of 81 days, and so showing daily
gain of 2.05 pounds. Mr.. Stephenson's
champion Aberdeen COW, being over 5l
years old, of course does not come into the
daily gain comparison, having been kept
for breeding purposes till few months
back.

livery one knows the piteous bleating
that young calf makes when separated
from its dam. 1t is not alone the frequent
supply of food that it misses, but even
more the tender fondling and loving at
tentions which she gives it. Tied up
where II cannot reach her, the calf soon
begins to feel uncomfortable. Watch how
the old COW fondles it, and we may easily
guess why. Every little while, with her
rough, moist tongue, she will lick its back,
neck, and sides, while the calf, though
only day, or even less, old, stands in evil
dent enjoyment of the operation. When
ever calf is pitfully bleating take soft
brush and initiate the cows action as
closely as possible. The bleating will
cease, and if the grooming is given two Or
three times a day this most mournful of
all noises will be etfectuallv STONED.

on the contrary, you will enjoy life more
han ever. How can you accomplish this
result? Easily: cut down your doctors
bills. When you lose your appetite, and
become bilious and cOnstipated, and there
fore low-spirited, don'trush off to the family
physician for a prescription, or, on the
other hand, wait until you are sick abed

THE FARMER.

Henry Stewart, New York farmer, ar
CUES that one ton of clover hay contains
8 or 10 per cent. of albuminoids, while a
ton of timothy hay has only d per cent. of
these valuable nutrients. Glover hay
is always cheaper than timothy, and
oftentimes 80 to 80 per cent. cheaper.
Hence farmers should grow timothy for
sale and clover for feeding out to their
stock. Again, Mr.. Stewart claims that if
ton of straw containing 2 or p per
cent. of albuminoids is mixed with ton of
clover hay, the mixture contains the same
nutritious substances as two tons of tim
othy hay, certainly another argument in
favor of feeding the clover.

A Parable Concerning a Snake.

FROM tne cover.
A farmer once found a rattlesnake.
Having caught it and put it in bag
he carried it home, and called his
neighbors together saying
"Behold, | have captured a snake,
and it is big and strong; now, what
shall do with it ?"
Then one of the men said
"This is avery harmless looking rep
tile. Think be might be allowed to go
wherever he pleases."
Another said
"My friend, do you not know that
this harmless looking serpent has a
sting? Now, the efore move that all
people, ana specially young people,
be warned faithfully to keep out of the
way OF the serpent, lest they be
bitten"
This counsel seemed to impress the
assembly favorably.
Then third speaker began In this
wise
"Since the bite OF this reptile is SO
very dangerous, would submit that
1t might be we'll to make certain rules
aud regulations; as, for instance, that
he is not to go abroad on the day that
is called Sunday; and that he must
not be allowed to sting anybody vino
is not OF age; moreover, that he shall
not be let out from his cage at all until
a council of citizens shall so decide.
"And finally" said this wise and
thoughtful man, 81 suggest that an
oath be administered to our neighbor,
the keeper OF the snake, that he will
faithfully carry out all these pro-
Visions
Now it came to pass that all the
neighbors were so moved with these
words that with one voice they cried
out
"So let it be, "and so the axe still
lives.

THE HOUSEKEEPER.
Uses j0r hiote B"edd.

There are so many ways TO utilize stale
bread, that 1t seems wonder so much is
wasted in many households. We see it
thrown in garbage pals, or left to mould,
by many an economical servant who would
be glad to use it if she only knew what TO
do with it."
1t makes delicious grddle cakes when
soaked soft in cold water. Three small
slices, with water enough to cover them,
should be sufficient, when the milk and
flour are added, to make nearly two quarts
of batter. Some cooks prefer 10 put in one
egg, while others like them fully as we'll
without. When the bread is soaked soft,
make it fine with a spoon, add the milk
and sufficient -four to stiffen enough so the
cakes can be easily turned. If sour milk
is used, add to the batter one even tea
spoonful of cream tartar, dissolved in a
little water, and one even teaspoon of soda.
This is a good plan to follow in all uses of
sour milk, as it seldom contains enough
acid to entirely counterfeit the soda. OF
course, when only small quantity of sour
milk is used twice as much cream tartar as
soda should be taken, for when the milk is
entirely sweet the proportions are three
even teaspoons of cream tartar to one of
soda.
French toast is always a favorite dish
with children and most grown people, and
can be made of thin slices cut from , stale
loaf and moistened in milk and egg; two
eggs to pint of milk, and then fried on
griddle with mixture of butter and lard,
or butter and beef drippings. 1t is eaten
with sugar or syrup like griddle cakes.
Ofcourse all our readers are familiar with
the ordinary bread buildings, but all may
not know that pieces of bread which
are not too hard can be made into a resem-

gravy from which fat can be taken, left

IiastI8U Corn on TfOqs.

There is no surer way to waste corn than
to feed it in the ear, hard and indigesti-
BILE, to hogs late in the fall that have been
used to other and softer feed. The hogs
will not eat it WE'LL as their gums are ten
der and the hard kernels make their months
sore. What they do eat gives them little
good, as may be seen by examining their
excrement. Kill such an animal after one
or two weeks feeding with corn in the
ear, and its intestines will be found worn
thin by the rough food it has eaten. We
doubt whether there is ever profit in feed
ing unshelled hard corn to hogs at any
age. 1t is perhaps the most convenient
way for the lazy, shiftless farmers; but,
like most of his expedients to avoid
trouble, there is no profit in it.

The greatest part of the work in killing
and dressing hogs is getting ready. When
the water is properly heated and the fires
brightly burning, few hogs, more or less,
make little difference. The cleaning Of
the inwards makes bad muss in and around
the kitchen. Now why cannot farmers
who have each two or three hogs work to-
gether in killing and dressing them? The
proper way, of course, is 10 take turns year
by year, so that the little extra labor in
volved in doing the work on their own
premises may be divided. Or one farmer
in neighborhood might we'll afford to
provide superior conveniencies for hog
killing, and his neighbors could still better
afford to make a moderate but profitable
remuneration for their use.

If the stomach of the horse were more
fully understood its feeding would be more
carefully attended to. The benefit that
comes from food comes through the pro-
cess of digestion that is carried on in the
stomach, and even while the process of
feeding is going on. In comparison with
the OK, the stomach of the horse is small.
1t is claimed that the stomach of the OK
has capacity of $50 quarts, while that of
the horse is only about sixteen quarts 80,
rs consequence, whatever is In the
stomach after it is filed must be expelled
into the intestines if feeding is continued.
In that case, If the process Of digestion is
Incomplete the result Is an expulsion of
the food without serving the purpose for
which it is intended. For that reason, in
the use of concentrated food in connec-
ton with coarse fodder, there must be an
exercise of Judgment or the feeding will
do little good. Thus oats may be fed to a
horse and followed by hay TO such an ex-
tent as to expel the oats wholly from the
stomach, in which case the only benefit de =
rived is from the amount of digestion 60
ing on during this period of eating. The
Office of the stomach being to digest the
heterogeneous portion Of the food, and as a
stomach full of oats contains about four
or five times as much heterogeneous matter
as when filled with hay, either the stomach
must secrete its gastric juices five times as
fast or the period of digestion must be
five times as long. If a concentrated food
like oats is to be fed with hay the latter
should be fed first and then the grains,
thus giving ample time for digestion be-
tween feeding.
