Farm Experience.


INFERIOR HAY FOR CATTLE. Last
winter kept pair of two-year-old
steers that did not have a mouthful of
upland hay for more than half the
winter, and the meadow hay that they
ate was of quite inferior quality. gave
them three pints per day of corn meal
and wheat middlings mixed, and no
other provender. These steers gained
two inches in-givth during the winter
and were worked some, too. There is
no trouble in keeping cattle in a thriv-
ing condition with inferior hay aud a
small quantity of provender. Eastern

How DEHoRNED ANIMALS ACTED
On the 25th of last april l dehorned nv
bull, two vicious cows-the terror of the
herd-three yearlings and four calves.
They showed signs of very little pain.
and when let loose went to eating and
directly to chewing their cud The
cows were fresh in milk and did not
shrink at all in their quantity that
could see, but their spirits were broken,
and they were quiet and inOffensive. The
bull had the conceit all taken out of him /;
he was no longer man-killer and is
driven by the cows not yet dehorned,
but which soon will be.-A Vermont
Farmer.

CORN FODDER CURED IN THE Cock
About fifteen years ago a small quantity
OF corn fodder was cooked up, and
through neglect four cocks were left in
the field until December and il was theI

provided corn fodder for the months o.
September and October and sometimes
for November and December Gradually

and for ten years had been put up green
In that time the corn on about fifty
acres of my own land had been cooked
directly after cutting, and not a dollar
in value has been lost through rot, moulC

thin, and is heavily cared up, perhaps il

A Costly Inkstand.

Perhaps the most elaborate and costly
inkstand in the country is the one now
in possession Of Robert II. Lincoln, of
Chicago, and which stood for a time on
the private desk of his father when the
latter was the occupant of the White
House, II seems that one of the dele
gates from Arizona in Congress in 1865
had become so fond of President LIN
coin that he wished to give him some
memento of his friendship. He sent to
Arizona for 400 ounces of silver, which
was nodded by Tiffany Il Co., into a
handsome and uniquely decorated ink
stand. The material itself cost $500
and the bill for the work upon il was
Ss62, 1t had not been month before
the assassination occurred, and for TWEEN
ty-two years since then it has lain in a
vault.

ding ten cents per day for grain, IL
makes the actual cost $37 for keeping
COW seven months. The past season
my ensilage, to take the place Of hay, has
cost me S4.70 including interest on land.
The cost OF grain added to that makes
the cost of wintering a COW seven months
S25. 40. A dairy of fresh cows fed on
these rations should produce lhree-fourths
OF a pound of butter per day, or 160
pounds for the winter, making the cost
of butter, with hay and grain, 23.12
cents and with ensilage 16. O6 cents. The
balance in favor of ensilage is zoo, or
difference of $11.29 per cow.-W II.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Handy Farm Implements.

Handy Farm Implements.
All farms where beets or carrots are
grown for stock, or a large garden is cul.
tivated, there should be a hand garden
plow. There are many kinds ofthese now
and a very good one can be had for four
OF five dollars, and while not substi-
tute for the hoe, they are valuable to
stir the soil and kill the young weeds.
and one will do the work Of half dozen
men with hoes.
Ladders are usually conspicuous by
their absence on most farms, vet they are
cheap, and if well painted, durable and
very convenient.

Country Geatlemon. mean the broad
bladed fiat shovels such as are used for
handling coal in unloading cars. / find
them so convenient for scraping up the
stables, for handling chaff or sawdust,
or shoveling meal or potatoes, that
shall never do again without one of them.
They are made with a blade Ia inches
wide, and in handling all light material
are very speedy.
A narrow long handled spade is great
convenience. never could use heavy,
short handled spade long at a time
without a lame back, and for years have
kept one of these light spades and used
it with great satisfaction. / buy the best
steel gravel shovel and have it cut down
to six inches wide and ten inches long,
and think that l can do one-third more
work with the same outlay of strength
than with an ordinary spade in all light
work such as spading along the rows of
grapevines, raspberries, etc.
Feeding and Watering Horses.
The feeding of a horse should be
varied according TO the purpose for
which the animal is employed, and the
size, age, etc. In many stables all the
horses are fed the same quantity without
regard to constitution or need. Ex-
psrience and good Judgment will soon
enable one to decide the quantity needed
by each horse to keep it in good con-
ditiou. If driving on the road is the
pr ncipal work of horse. more grain
should be fed, in proportion to the hay,
than If used Tor farming or slow work.
For large road horse, four to six quarts
OF oats, and eighteen pounds of bright
hay, daily, are generally sufficient. A
horse that is kept for general purposes,
or family driving, may be fed oats in the
morning and uncut hay. At noon, cut
hay mixed with feed made of oats and
corn ground together, in the proportion
of two of oats and one of corn, if at
work; but when not at work, the noon
ration may consist of uncut hay. The
evening ration may be of cut hay, and
feed with little uncut hay afterwards.
Timothy, cut just before blossoming,
if well cured and kept stored in
a dry place, makes the best hay for

four Hours-Great Damage Done.
BALTIMORE, March l3.-For the first
time in the existence of the telegraph,
Baltimore was cut off from communica-
ton with New York and Washington
for over twcnty-four hours from Sunday
night. Not only were the wires down,
but hundreds of telegraph poles long
both the Western Union and railroad
lines are broken. A mild rain set in
Sunday morning from the east, but soon
tile wind Yeered to the northeast, blow
ing u gale and by nightfall the worst
blizzard that has swept this section in
twenty ycars was blowing. The tenn
peature fell twenty. degrees in ten
hours. By0 o'clock Sunday night the
snow was six inches deep, and all conf
munication cut of. The wind WIS
blowing about fifty miles IN hour.
Travel through the streets Of the city
was dangerous, as tin roofs and chin
neys went flying along the streets. Tele-
graph poles holding twenty or thirty
wires each were blown down in differ
cnt parts Of the city.
The tide yesterday was lower than ever
known in the memory OF the old wharf
men, being Mt least l2 feet below the
level OF the ordinary low water, and rs u
consequence many deep draught vessels
lying IN the different docks were ground
cd. At the county dock, foot OF Broad
way, the water was so low that the bot
tom was barred and persons could walk
dry sAod on the soil thus exposed.
After 8 O'clock tlic fire telegraph system
was useless. An alarm could not have
been sent in from over dozen boxes,
and the city would have been practically
ut the mercy OF the flames had they
broken out. The old watch tower SyS.

bclfry and relieved at intervals. 1t is
the'opinion of old baycaptGius that Sun
day night was ono Of the worst ever
experienced on Chesapeake buy, and as
the notice OF the storm was SO short
there have doubtless been many dis
asters which will be reported as soon as
the vessels begin to arrive, No vessel

THE STORM AT WASHINGTON.

No Signs of Abating = People Afraid td
Venture on the Streets.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March l3.-The
fierce wind storm which struck Wash
ington last Saturday night and which
has continued on uninterruptedly since
that time, shows no signs of abating.
The day has been cloudless, but the
force OF the wind has kept in doors all
except those who were compelled to
brave it. At Q o'clock this morning the
mercury had dropped to u degrees
above zero, and the velocity Of the wind
had increased to 40 miles per hour. The
work done yesterday in the way OF re-
pairing the telegraph wires leading to
the city and clearing the distractions
from the railroad trucks was to large
extent undone by the wind OF to-day,
Between Philadelphia and Washington
over seven hundred telegraph poles were
down. The cut Off between this city
and New York seems to be Hopeless Tor
the present ut least.
The railroads situation is practically
unchanged since yesterday. No trains
are arriving from further north than
Baltimore and none are being dispatched.
As there is no telegraph communication
the railroad officials have no information
MS to when to expect trains, or how far
train leaving here in the direction Of
New York would be likely to go.
T'rafns left the city for Baltimore on
schedule time but the trouble was that
there were no postal cars or postal clerks
TO send with them. The cars and clerks
that should be here are delayedat points
on rOutn To this City.
