COMMON-SENSE FEEDING.
One of the Most Costly and Cruel Habit.
IhatE Farmers HIVE.

One of the Most Costly and Cruel Habit
That Farmers Have.
When many a man sees, as he doe.
see, that animals that go on grass
in a weakly and sick condition, at once
improve, us they do often, it ought tc
be sufficient to dictate a better way O
winter feeding than Is entirely toe
common. Our animals are fed all
winter, in thousands Of cases, upon
dry, concentrated food, and, in one
way or another, in spring they show
the effects of it. The owner feels that
he must do something, and often it is
necessary to give medicines at once.
But as soon as the grass comes stop the
medicines, in ordinary cases at least,
and turn them into the pasture. At
first the grass will lack nutritious
qualities, and it may sometimes be
necessary to feed even a sick animal
something in addition. Animals that
are not diseased ought to have some
thing besides the very young grass.
But a sick animal will often be greatly
benefited by stinting it in diet, and in
such cases it may need nothing more
than what the imperfect young grass
will give. II we had an animal that
was out OF condition, or In
any disease short OF being
or verging upon a desperate case, we
should turn it upon grass as soon as
grass comes, and give 1t a trial before
resorting to medical treatment. We
feel that we can not say too often that
the custom Of feeding for months prin-
cipally upon corn Is one OF the most
costly habits that farmers have. 1t is
positively injurious to the animal, and
to every animal that is compelled thus
to live. Sometimes we do not see the
evil effects, but we may be sure that
they exist, for such a course OF feed
ing is in violation OF natures laws,
and they a not be violated without
the penalty, But we do see
the effects In thousands Of cases, and
see them often enough in our own
herds to suggest the wisdom of reform
n our feeding methods.
1t ought not to be ditflulU to see what
Tho result Of constantly feeding q dry,
'at-producing food is. Leaving out Of
he question altogether the fact that
such feeding d part of the system,
md the most important part, too, gets
40 nourishment, or scarcely any, the
tendency of fat-producing,
dry foods Is toward an
Impairment OF the digestive functions.
The system must have moisture. II
We deprive the system Of all moist
ire the animal would die. But fur.
ishing it with plenty Of moisture

est way. Experience shows that it
J better to furnish at least part OF the
loisture needed Incorporated in the
bod. 1t Is for this reason that green
rasses are so valuable, or at least it
a principal reason. 1t Is for this
eason that roots are so valuable as a
BOD. In place of medicines, therefore,
! many cases we would advise grass.
here Is one class, however, that the

ave suggested. They are the cases

What is the strong and agreeable

asked a reporter Of a well-llnown manu-
~facturer.
This question, or a similar one, we
are frequently called upon to answer"
he replied. when we tell inquirers
that it is chocolate which imparts the
peculiar odor, they reply: But we
never noticed it so distinctly in other
factories That is true enough, be-
cause there are few, il any, other
factories in which the chocolate used
on the premises is manufactured. But
the eonfecti0nerS are too wide awake
not to recognize that chocolate is the

see all first-class factories manufacture

''If you look into the windows of the
confectioners in Milan, Rome, Paris,
Madrid, Berlin, Vienna, Copenhagen,

doubt, be surprised to find that more
than one-half of the show-pieces

NATURES ~BAROMETERS.
Plants and Creatures Acting in the Ca
pacity of Weather

Sleeping is characteristic of certain
plants, and though it was at one time
thought that this might have reference
to the habits of insects. ii is now be.
lieved to be more dependent on the
weather. The tiny scarlet pimpernel,
the ''old mans weather-glass. opens
at seven o'clock and closes soon after
two. The daisy unfolds its flower q,

lions close up at about five o'clock, at
which time the white water-lily has
been asleep an hour and the mouse-ear
hawkweed two hours. The yellow
goat's-beard opens at four and closes
Just before twelve, and has for its En-
glish name "John-go-to-bed-at-noon "
Local circumstances influence the how-
ers In their opening and closing,
though they = pretty constant from
day to day. Many flowers close their
petals during rain-probably to pre-
vent the honey and pollen from being
rendered useless or washed away.
One OF the simplest Of natures ba-
rometers is a spiders web. When there
is a prospect of wind or rain the spider
shortens the tlaments by Which its
web is sustained, and leaves it in this
state as long as the weather is vari-
able. II it elongates its threads it is
a sign OF fine. calm weather, the dura-
ton of which may be judged by the
length to which the threads are let
out. If the spider remains inactive it
is the sign of rain: if it keeps at work
during rain the downpour will not last
long, and will be followed by fine
weather. Observation has taught that
tn spider makes changes in its web
every twenty-four hours. and that If
such changes are made in the evening,
just before sunset, the night will be
clear and beautiful.
