Plans for the Seminary.

1t is not for us to propose the plans
upon which the seminary should be
established or the rules by which it
should be run, but that is left for the
fathers and leaders in Zion. As be-
lever in the capabilities and future Of
our race. we feel called upon to agi-
tate the necessity for such an institu-
tlOn.- We would simply say that in
the beginning there is no need for
high college curriculum or high
sounding titles. All great institu-
tiOns begin small and work up. Two
good, pious, we'll educated ladies OF
a well educated preacher and his wife
might start such an enterprise with
the backing of our great connection
Let us hear good report in the
conferences on education and let this
question of female seminary be dis.
cussed- Let some good lady or gen.
tleman be encouraged to begin the
work at once. All the help needed
will be forthcoming as soon as the
work is started in earnest.

winterluE stock on Meal.

Can stock be wintered safely on meal
alone G.. S. c., Essex County, n. y,
says in the American Cultivator Several
years ago experiments were made for the
purpose of determining this question, and
the result Seemed to warrant the conclusion
that it is possible to carry animals through
the entire winter with no other feed than
about three quarts daily of clear corn meal,
Such concentrated feed, however, seems to
be a wide departure from that intended by
nature, as indicated by the stomach and di-
gestive organs Of the animal Where hay
is very scarce and high, it may answer to try
the experiment for brief period, but it
would be much better to give a ration OF
coarse straw, to distend the stomach, OF
even twigs of bushes and trees, than &c
coniine the animals to meal alone The
Orange County Farmer gives the following
account of an experiment by a Mr.. j
Dewitt Smith, who wintered two yearling:
and a two-year-old in 1887, feeding then
no hay during the whole winter, and NJ
coarse fodder except about a half bushe
per day of cut straw or chaff, moistened
with warm water and the meal sprinkleC
over it, The whole amount of straw fec
through the winter did not exceed j0l
pounds per head The weight per day o
grain fed he could not give, but the tota
cost Of grain for the three head during tn,
entire winter was $40, or an averag,
per head of So. TO- They came through tn,
winter in prime condition, and he was 5,
well pleased with the result of his expert
ment that he is trying it again on a large
scale, having ten head of young stock which
he is now wintering in this manner.

The loss of human life was so great in
the recent snow-storm and blizzard in the
Northwest that the lesser consideration,
of loss in live stock and other property
have not so far received much attention
Intelligence on this point is somewhat mea
gre, but from what can be learned it seem.
that the farming districts come in for NOR,
than the usual share of losses following
such visitations. a good deal of live stock
persisted in the aggregate, but particulars
are not attainable. Vague rumors of losse,
here and there in the range country are

the truth respecting them can be known
Many isolated dwellers on the prairies have
had all experience since the first of tn,
