Winter Feeding of Mich Cows.

Mich COWS require extra feeding in
winter time to keep up generous
flow of milk. During this season, even
with the most careful feeding, the
quantity of milk is most sure to dimin-
ish. but the milk is richer And so we
see the winter-butter diaries run with
out loss, while those which supply
milk to customers fall short in their
supplies and lose money, although the
customers are benefited by the better
quality of the milk. And just here is
where the dishonest milk producers
would equalize matters by diluting
with water. There is better help for
this loss, however, than this dishon-
est dilution-selling water at good
milk prices. This is done by judi
cious feeding. The following daily
rations will keep up both the guam
tity and quality of the milk: We give
not quie maximum figures; the quanti-
ty may be slightly increased or dimin-
ished, according to circumstances:
Corn fodder, fifteen pounds, or twelve
pounds of hay, to which may be added
five or six pounds of good straw; corn
meal, four pounds, and to this it would
be well to add four pounds of wheat Or
rye bran. When the fodder, hay or
other forage is of Indifferent quality.
about two pounds of cotton-seed meal
should be used, which will make up for
the deficiency in the fodder.
The milk produced by such feeding
is rich in cream, and the skinned
milk has great density, and is rich
in color and flavor. Where it
is not convenient to procure cotton
seed meal. corn meal and mill feeds
may be used with advantage. Three
pounds of corn-meal and the same of
coarse bran or middlings will make a
rich food for a COW, given with hay,
corn fodder or even with good straw.
But for the winter the great resource
of the dairyman is the root crop. A
few hundred bushels of mangels or
sugar beets are of remarkable value,
and if half bushel daily be given,
chopped up finely, or pulped up in a
machine made for the purpose, with
hay or fodder cut fine and all well
mixed together. the yield of milk will
not only be greatly increased, but the
health and digestion of the animal will
be preserved.-Fdra and Firaside.

Queer System of Bookkeeping.

A little man, who runs a prosperous
drug store on Cottage Grove avenue.
has a system of bookkeeping that is
probably without duplicate from one
end of the city to the other. His dis
itinguishing trait is an inability to re-
member names He has a score of
customers whom he has traded with
1 for years, and whom he knows by sight
as we'll as he does his own brother.
but hose names he could not call of
to save himself from hanging. Tie
consequence is that when three or four
of these customers have called in one
evening, and have made small pur-
ichases which they wished chalked up,
his little book contains entries some-
thing like this: '.Man with the Black
Whiskers, cigars. Zoe. 1.-The Short
necked Man, Paregoric, Zoe" THE
Handsome man with the Gray Dilldalls,
soc worth of Jamaica Ginger" and so
on. This is the only set of bookkeeping
that the little drugstore man INDUCES
In, and he says his creditors are all
good and never let him lose money by
1t. But il would be interesting to
know how he'd address his envelopes
II any of his debtors let their accounts
run long enough to necessitate the

which arrive at the coast, the skin

creatures TANKS, bearing witness to
the scarcity of external food during
the course of his long, forced march
from the interior. A starved small
camel in this state of health far more
closely resembles a Peruvian llama
than any one who has only seen the
fine. wellkept beasts in European
menageries or geological gardens could
readily imagine
But water is even scantier in the
desert than food; and against want of
water, therefore, the camel has had to
provide himself, intentionally at least,
If not strneturally, quite as much as
against want of heritage. His stomach
has accordingly acquired the nox.er of
acting as an internal reservoir. and he
can take in as much water at the Bahrs
or Wadys- |aere he rests for awhile on
mis- toilsome march. as will supply his
needs for four or five days together.
There are soRe differences in this
respect, however, between the two
chief varieties of the camel. The
African kind is most abstemious, and
best adapted to sandy deserts; the
Bactrian, product of more varied and
better-watered country, is larger and
stronger. but less patient of hunger
and thirst, while at the same time it
can manage to subsist and to make its
way into somewhat rocker and more
rugged country.-Graat Allen. in Pop

HOW TO KEEP ROOTS.
The Proper Way of Storing Turnips Al
Beets Through Winter.

The Proper Way of Storing Turnips and
| Beets Through Winter.
| Succulent roots, as turnipS, beets,
carrots and parsnips, require two es-
sentials for keeping through winter-a
cool temperature and a sufficiently
moist surrounding to prevent wither-
ing or drying up. Warmth and moist
ure, acting together, produce rot;
warmth and dry air cause speedy
shriveling. Roots which are not in
jured by freezing, when compactly
| surrounded by earth, may be left in
the ground all winter where they grew
such, for instance, as the parsnip,
which is all the better in quality tor
the freezing which it gets. The car
rot will sometimes pass the winter in
the same way, but more frequently
| it is rotted. But this treatment
will not answer if the roots are
| dug and then buried in earth and
afterward frozen. They must remain
where they grew; and as they have
| gradually enlarged in growth, they
have crowded and pressed the earth
outw ard, and thus left no interstices.
An unbroken face of earth surrounds
them. Even potatoes may be frozen
without much harm if thus left and
thawed in the soil where the tubers
grew, but any crevices or interstices in
the soil will spoil them.
These facts teach some useful prac-
tees in storing roots for winter. Such
as turnips and parsnips. which shriyel
easily, must be well and compactly
surrounded with a porous, moist sub
stance. as fine Or pulverized moss,
slightly damp sawdust or peat. Those
which do not require moisture, such
as potatoes, will keep we'll if only
always cool (not cold). On the
other hand, winter fruit like Baldwin,
Greening and Russell apples. may be
packed in dry bran or dry forest leaves,
which will partly protect them from
cold currents of air, and prevent rot
ting or willing
The same general principle will APP
ply to roots OF nursery trees. Those
which remain in the ground through
winter, have the roots and the soil in
which they grew thoroughly frozen,
but no harm happens to them if they
thaw in the ground. But if frozen after
digging, and thawed IN contact with
the air, they will as certainly perish.
And they will be greatly injured if not
killed If, when heeled in, large inter-
stices are left in contact with the roots.
Finely pulvervized earth should be
placed in close contact with them
