have had no experience with list
ing corn. and hence can only reason
upon the subject in the abstract, which
dislike to do for public use. see no
sound reason for the practice, and, in
fact. no reason save economy, and
economy in tillage has already been
carried too far. A few. of the essential
conditions of tillage are the most COM
plete separation of the particles of soil

practically possible to get, in order to
favor root development and easy after
tillage; the tightening and opening OF
the soil to the air in order to facilitate
soil disintegration, and that even me-
chanical division of the soil that fayors
an equable diffusion of moisture, air
and heat in the soil, and yet admits
after surface tillage in manner best
calculated to conserve soil moisture.
Listing answers neither purpose. Il

ground, leaving the surrounding soil
compact against the movements of

of too much rain this excavation re-
ceives an overdose of water. A loose
ridge of earth is rolled up to dry out.
It is true that after cultivation be-

trouble; but only partly oyercomes it.

An Expensive Fashion Which Il 8 aid to
Be Gradually Disappearing.
One of the notable features of fash
ion this year will be the gradual dis
appearance of bridesmaids from we'd
dings. Nothing can be prettier, in
theory always and occasionally IN
reality than group of whitehead
maidens attending their friend to the
altar and Illuminating the scene with
their decorative presence, but under
existing arrangements bridesmaids
are very expensive luxury. The
bridegroom has not only to give each
one of them a d aintily-costly present.
but he is expacted to furnish them
with bouquets as well.
There has of late been a tendency
toward very tiny bridesmaids. whose
tender age would naturally reduce the
expense of The parents in proportion
to their years. But even these are
disappearing in favor OF small So
called pages. who know SO little of a
pages duties that they alternately
tread on the brides train and trot aft
or it, but who do not expect either
jewelry or bouquets
The fact is that bridesmaids have,
SO to speak, raised their terms to such
an exalted height that human nature,
in the shape of exasperated BRIDE
grooms, has begun TO ask if they can
not be dispensed with. And this will
certainly come about unless. as in
'Ruddigore, there should be estab-
lished an organized brigade of bride s.
maids ready with their services on
every occasion and anxious TO ''hail

FEEDING FARM S7OIS&.
Five Rules Applicable to Both Horses and
Horned Cattle.

Horned Cattle.
The rules for successful feeding OF
stock of all kinds. and for keeping
them in good health, are few and sim
pie enough, yet it needs some judg-
ment and experience to follow them,
or to know when they are being OBJ
served faithfully.
First, and most important, should
be the giving of food at regular hours.
The first meal of the day should be
early enough to prevent the animals
from waiting long for it after they are
stirring in the morning, which IS
usually as soon as it is light enough to
see distinctly in winter and at sunrise
in summer. The last meal of the day
should not be given after dark. The
practice of going out to give last
feeding just before going to bed is
questionable one, and a good feeder
would not call up his cattle to feed
them after they have lain down for the
night any more than he would treat
his children in that way. During
short days of winter two hearty meals
at regular hours is often better than
three meals, or the noon meal should
be light one, and its amount may be
increased as the time extends between
it and the others.
Second rule. Always give enough
and never overfeed. Here judgment
is needed and watchfulness. If there
are any indications of failure to eat
the amount given, promptly remove
all that is left and make the next feed
ing less liberal If there is much UNI
easiness and desire for more mani
tested after eating the amount given.
do not give more then, to encourage
the habit of looking for supple
mentary foddering, but be more liberal
the next time.
Third rule. Watch the effects of the
food carefully. both in condition OF
the animals and in character of its ex-
crement, and vary the food in kind
rather than amount if any thing seems
wrong. A few roots or a change in
feed may prevent the necessity of en-
ploying a veterinary surgeon.
Fourth rule Remember the cold,
frosty mornings are more stimulating
to the appetite than warm, foggy
ones, and the coarse fodder which
might be rejected at one time would
be eagerly eaton on q colder day.
Fifth rule. After the animals have
eaten enough, clean out the feeding
troughs. D. not keep either good
food or oats constantly before them.
These rules are applicable to both
horses and horned cattle. and their
observance will result in sleek-looking
animals with less amount of food
consumed than is used by those hap
hazard feeders who never have de-
cent-looking beast. American CUftt-
