Fall Care of Stock

] he rain, the frost, and the want of
sunshine cause the grass to grow in the
fall so luxurianuy that We often forget
of how little value it Is compared with
that grown in the SUMMER months of
midsummer. Most animals in late pas
ture that have no additional food giveR
to them are really losing flesh when they
should be gaining or storing up energy
that they may the better resist the cold
of winter. Nature provides that the
appetite of animals shall Increase with
the falling tenn perature, while man pro-
vides diminished amount of food in
order that he may try to economic.
Il cost far less to preserve a pound OF
live weis ht than il does to produce one.
Now Is the time above all others when
animals, especially the dairy COWS, should
receive liberal allowance of food at the
barn in order that the washy, lnnutritious
grasses may be supplemented. Then,
too, the animals, should be kept in the
barn or stables during the cold, rainy
nights. When the owner of cattle is IN
comfortable without his overcoat, while
out of doors, let him remember that CA
tie lying on the damp grass are nnneces-
sarily using up food or fat. Will we
never learn that the luss of every pound

How shall these losses be avoided The
answer seems plainly feeding literally
enough to prevent them But while DO
ing so we may feed in suoh a manner as
not to accom- plish our object with the
least expenditure; so We need to study
the economic side of this question.
First, animal on frost-bItten grass
should have their supplementary food
given to them dry Animals on dry food
should have supplementary food that is
sUcculent; such as mangels, ensilsge,
spples, potatoes, and green corn fodder.
In both cases the fall feed should have q
wider nutritivs ratIo-thst Is, should be
richer IN csrbohy drates-thsu when the
animals are kept in VAIN stables the en-
tire twenty-fCsc hours, or when IL sum
mer pasture. Il Is surprising 20 see how
our dairy COWS for the last two rainy
weeks enjoy dried corn fodder and hay.
We 90 not forget also 20 feed twice daily
two quarts of a mixture of equal parts
of bran and cotton seed II cal. although
the pastures are fairly good; the
result is that We get more snd
richer Inilk than We did in July and
August when We depend more exclusively
on the pasture. As the by-prcd1cts
mentioned or the manure resulting from
feeding them, is really worth three
fourths as much as they cost, it would
seem that We houid learn to purchase
literally these valuable producEs In-t=6d
o. commercial fertilizers to exclusively
enrich our soil.
Nov it will do no good, or but little. il

mails out in the open yard and under the

Use Of Concentrated Foods.

Concentrated foods, which contain an
excess of starch with too little of the
other ingredients found in wheat, lead TO
torpor and atrophy of the bowels, and
sooner or later there is actual disease.
Constipation aud rectal disorders are fast
becoming nation al disorders, aud where
ever these prevail ESPECIALLY the first
named) you may look for what are called
nervous diseases and brain affections
these later verging toward insanity; and
following this class of malsdies, or in
come ctiOn with them, We shall iud para
lytic diseases. Now there Is really no
need OF al these physical ills; We bring
these troubles upon ourselves. Nature
has given Us heslthful food products, and
in great abundance; but if We convert
these blessings Into just the opposite, We
have only ourselves to blame.
Another foolish idea that many main
tain is, that there is more actual natrl-
ton in meat than there Is in graius.
Never wss there q greater m stake. Turn
10 any reliable table giving the analysis
of foods ana YOU will see that the figures
stand the other way; there being three or
four times the amount OF nutrltive sub
stance in wheat, rye, oats, corn, and bar
ley than there is in the best beef or NUT
ton. Dried beans and peas are far more
nutritious than any OF the meats. Were
illustrations needed, we have all the
peassntry of the old world to refer to.

A battalion of Senoys had seized and i'm.

that it would serve 40 more. strong
hand arrested the mutiny at its begin

a drum-head court martial, found guilty,
and sentenced to be blown away from the

On the day of the execution the troops
were drawn up. English AID Sepoys, the
guns were loaded, and the prisoners led
forth to suffer the terrible penalty.
The word of command was given for
the first fOur criminals to be tied up to
the muzzie of the guns. As the men
were being bound four tall, stately grena-
diers stepped forward from among the

The English troops were few and there

moved to tears by the fearful death of

which, turned upon tie SepOys, would
defeat any attempt to rescue their com

Mai. Munro closed the English on the

pieces with grape. Then he sent the

close. The sacrifice OF few lives saved

The British vice consu! at Gambia in
Spain in recent report on the agTicul-
ture of Valencia, says that the English
farmer would smile to see the ValenCian
husbapdman ride out to his field mounted
on mule, which also carries on its back
his double shafted pillow. These ligh
blows, which are legacy from the Moors,
do no. penetrate over six inches, but are
quite sufficient for the warm soil, which
only requires to be "tickied TO laugh with
harvest" The spade is duite unknown.
After the land is super fcially scratched It
is narrowed by the sim pie expedient of
passing over a wooden board, about four
feet in length, tied at each eud by a rope
from the mules collar. On this the
driver stands, his weight being sufficient
TO level the soil for sowing. The old
fashioned soil, much more the steam
threshing machine, are too modern for
the ValencIans. They do thugs in
more classical style. The corn Ia trodGen
out by mules or horses muzzIed in an an
ti-scri plural way. This is a very hard
work for the animals, as they are kept at
continual trot in a small circle under
the fierce midsummer sun, while their
eyes have to be covered in order to pre-
vent glddiness. This treadlDg out of the
coru also breaks up the straw for fod
der and so combines the effects of the
threshing machine and the chat cutter.
The small birds have been shot by the
Yalencians, who are fond of shooting
and have 10 legitimate game, and the
conseq uences have been disastrous to the
farmer. The il sectivorous birds being
all gone the insects flourish and destroy
the farmers trees unchecked. Thus the
apple trees have by degrees been almost
destroyed.
