The Feeding Instinct.

Some men have an instinct that teaches
them how much feed of what kind and
when to feed il to animals. In dlfTeren
men this instinct is developed as apply
ing to different kinds OF animals; some
| men are always successful in feeding
pigs, some III sheep, and some in cows or
other kinds of stock. | know man wGo
can get better returns from cows out of
| a given quantity of feed tnsn his neigh
bors; with pigs he is not q success by
any means.
l have neighbor who keeps his horseS
in the best of condition of any farmer in
this vicinity. Some time ago he was in
my bsrnyard and had one of his horses
with him, fat, sleek and well groomed.
and well trained. We we're looking al
my cows when he said: Il DON'T see boa
it is, but l can't keep my cows in such
fine condition as you do yours" He then
sdded: Il give them all they want 20
eat" l found on inquiry that be was
feeding heavier than l. Just then one OF
my horses was led out of the static, ana
/ said: That is just the case with me
in regard to horses; yours are always
in first rate order; now look ct that
horse and com pare him with yoQTs. Ny
horses have all the good necessary, but
they do not look IS well SIS yours" Here
was case IN point; the feeding insti1c.
of my neighbor was in the direction of
horses, mine Of cows. 7 have never mad
q lot of COWS that looked Ill kept, aud If
I have certain kind of feed | can tell

How Many Times Should,a Cow be MIXED
DAILY

The question is asked: How many
times should a COW be MIXED daily an
what would be the effect of more or less
frequent milking upon the quantity and
quality of the milk" As rule. and with
ordinary cows, twice milking sutfices. and
it is as often as it can be protitably done,
in con junction with other farm work.
But there are extraordinary cows that
ought to be MIXED three times day
once every eight hours.
ThiN would be profitable, and add
greatly to the COWS comfort. 1t would
also stimulate nature to an increased flow
of milk TO meet the extra demand. There
would, therefore, be greater quantity of
milk. The quail would also be improv
ed, or, rather, the milk would not be So
impoverished by the absorption of tie
fats after it is secreted Repeated ex
perinents show that the longer the in
terval between mllkjngs, the poorer the
milk. II MIXED as fast as secreted, there
is reason TO belive it would all be strip
pings. "-United States Dajryman.
Ii frequent milking during the day will
increase the quality aud quantity OF the
milk, we are inclined to agree with the
Dutchmau who had just tapped a fresh
ksg of beer and pRrtook OF a hearty
draught Of the foamy beverage and said,
1T efer vhas to have one l=etIe Shersey

Scared uut II ones sven senses
Detroit Free Prs

This expression arose In this way: Bc-
cOrding to very ancient teaching, the
soul OF man, or "his inward holy body,
- compounded of seven properties which
are under the influence of the seven
planets. Fire guimstes, earth gives the
sense of feeling, water gives speech, sir
gives tsste, mist gives sight, flowers give
hearing, and south wind gives smelling.
Hence tbs seven senses are anlma-
ton. feeling, speech, taste, sight, hear
ing, and smelling. Common sense does
not mean that good sense which is CON-
mon or commonly needed in the ordinary
affairs CT life, bu5 tae ssuse which Is com
mon TO all the five, or the point where the
FIVE senses meet, supposed 20 be the seat
o. the soul. where Z judges what Is pre-
scented By the sense, aud decides the

The reason why q certain number of
consumers in all large cities are willing
20 pay what, TO farmer or an average
consumer, may seem extraordinary pri-
ce-, says the American Agriculturist, is
because they get buffers of high fiavors
which are always uniform. The makera
of these buffers nearly all use clover and
meadow hay and corr meal, III varying
proportions with other coarse fodder and
meals The makers who produce the
finest fiavors prefer clover and meadow
hay, cut on the green side just before
maturity, and carefully cured, fed with
corn meal, enslage apd roots. Forage
plants harvested just before maturity
contain their maximum OF nutritlve mat
ter, and therefore their highest hsvOrs.
When the cOloring matter of plants is
allowed TO bleach out, as in hay or corn
stalks, the flavor, or the best part Of il
goes with 1t. This fact is one OF the best
reasons for the practice of feeding ensi-
lage, for by no other method of treating
fodder corn can the color he so well
preserved. The Swedes and Danes use
small quantities of rape cake combined
with their grains aud folders to produce
the uniform favors which their buffers
possess. The Englishman uses q wider
range of mixtures, including fine clover
and meadow hay, small quantities of
carrots, or mangels, middings, shorts,
bran, pea and oRt meal, corn and cotton
and linseed meals in various proportions.
In the United States, the farmer has
everything st his command for feed
which he can desire, with corn ensilage of
the best qnsllty. Successful feeders
compound their rAtioDs from many sour
ces rather than few, as much for the pur-
pose of maintaining health and vigor of
digestion as for the food of varied fiavors.
At present prices, there are no cheaper
bases for dairy rations than gluten and
cotton seed meals. Aixed with enough
bran or shorts or whatever else is cheap
est on the market. With hay a. present
prices and plenty of cora stalks, most
men will be able 20 construct cheap
ratjons from the most abundant materi-
ais. Due care mast be exercised at all
times to avoid exclusivepess in com

Winter Work That No farmer should Neglect

Winter Work That No Farmer should Neglect
When the season is mild, and the ground
in condition to permit of blowing, the
work that can be done this month should
not be delayed. The difficulty with many
farmers is that they do not take advan-
tsge of the oppor 'uuities in winter of
getting - much outdoor work done be
fore spring as may be possible. The
corn land should be plOwed now, if it can
be done, for in this latitude there are
often weeks of open weather some sea-
sons that 3ause the frost to leave the
ground. By blowing such ground the
frost kills the outworms and reduces the
clods. The hauling of the manure is also
work that may be done, but to save labor
in the spring it should be spread evenly
on the ground as fast as hauled OUT.
Manure that is coarse and in a rough con
ditIon should be retained in ths barn
yard.
1t is important that the manure heap
be handled once or twice during the win
ter. Only the fire, decomposed manure
should be handed out. The coarse
material should be made into another
heap, well packed and saturated with
urine, in order TO get the manure fine be
iOfo sprung. y MISS the uS6p Is given
care too much heat may beEenerated and
the materials injured by ''fre-fauging,
with loss of amonia. This is prevented
by turning the contents of the heap over
occasionally. The objection may be that
the handling of large quantities of
manure is laboriOus, which Is true, but ii
pays to bestow the labor. To haul ost on
TO the fields mass of coarse rubbish, con
si5tIng of cOTnstalks and straw that have
undergone no change, is to haul that
from which no benefit can be derived for
d long time. Before any kind of manure
can be available to plants it must decom-
pose and become soluble in water. This
process may be quick or slow, according
to its preparation in the heap before 1t
reaches the fields.
The grapsVines should be trimmed in
cold weather. If the work is deferred
until spring the vines will "bieed" Oose
sap and be weakened. The raspberries,
black5erries and all small fruits can be
trimmed in winter and the old wood cut
away. The Strawberries can be MANFRED
and the asparagus beds looked after, it
being the earliest of the vegetables.
The manure for hot b. ds must be
saved, and 1t will save time to cut away
all the Surplus branches of the orchard
trees

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

1t is not within the province of this article
to set forth tho portentous events just pre-
ceding the Inauguration of Abraham Lin
coin; tho fierco four sided campaign of 1850;
the long winter of anxiety and gloom; tho
successive retirement of congressman as seven
states seeded; tho rumors of intended assas-
sination and the secret night journey of Mr..
Lincoln to Washington. Nevertheless, these
things must be borne in mind by ono who
would understand the scenes of that inaugu-
ration. Gen. Winfield Scott, then lieutenant
general of the United States army, and in
command Mt Washington, was firmly per-
suade that n riot was planned for inaugura-
ton day, during which an attempt was to DO
made to assassinate Mr.. Lincoln. He there
fore organized the militia of the District and
disposed of his available force of regulars as
seemed to him best, calculated to prevent
bloodshed.
Gu .ho 81 os March, 1867, tho retiring
president, Buchanan, and Mr.. Lincoln rode
together to the Capitol, the president driving
to Wizards hotel for the president-elect.
They rode between double files Of n squadron
of District of Columbia cavalry. In front of
them marched n company of sappers and
miners, and behind them came the infantry
and ri1enen of the district. On the roofs of
all tho highest houses along Pennsylvania av-
enue were placed squads of riaemen from the
regular army with orders to watch the win
dows on the opposite side and fire upon them
in case any attempt should be made to fire
from those windows upon the presidential
carriage. A small force of regular caval-
ry, the only one that could be obtained,
was detailed in squads to guard the street
crossings on Pennsylvania avenue, each squad
retiring by side streets rs the presidential
carriage passed and taking up its position
ahead, so that each street crossing was thor
oughly guarded. A battalion of District of
Columbia troops stood near the steps of the
Capitol, and at tho windows and wings
specially detailed riflemen were placed. In
