The testimony accumulates that it is
better to feed mich COWS but twice per

than to spend it in any other way. The

get livelihood doubtless does not be-
1ieYe the above.

worry himself much whether his farm

ing grass, or not. The land that viii

would pay no bills of her husbands
contracting. It is said that she first
employed the man who is now her hus-

then proposed marriage to him fourteen
times unsuccessfully, offering to give
him $12O year and a horse and car

captured him. This was five years

seems not to have run without jars
since that time. The couple have

THE FARM
sheeD LosIng - VooL

OIdish sheep are apt to lose wool
from their bellies if grain fed, especially
in feeding with corn. The cause IS N
digestion from overlooking. This
produces fever, and the extreme heat
under the sheep when lying down de-
stroys the fibre OF the wool, and loOsens
it from the skin. 1t is very hard to
feed old sheep corn, without Over-feed-
ing. In extreme cases ciumps of wool
are loosened from all parts of the body.
Such sheep are utterly worthless for
keeping. After lingering through the
winter their owner has their hides and
some very poor wool in the spring for
their keep. The experienced sheep
breeder viii not keep any sheep longer
than six years, and he will not feed any
sheep with corn except those he is fat
tening, and even then with great eau
ton.

THE APIARY.
Preserved Honev Comb.


According to the Pail Mail Gazette,
a remarkable discovery has been made at
the Cathays Yard of the Taft Vale Rail-
way Company. A large elm tree, grown
IN GIOucestershire, was being cut up
into timber, when, right in the very
heart, cavity measuring eight feet by
seven and One-half inches IN diameter
was discovered almost completely filled
with a comb of the honey bee, together
with a squirrels skull. No means of
access to the hollow was discOYerable,
neither was decay anywhere apparent.
and around the cavity itself no less than
fifty rings, each ring denOting a year.
growth, we're counted; the outer bark,
too, being without a flaw. The hollow
was of uniform size throughout, and
presented the appearance of having been
bored with an auger, and great though
its dimensions were, it was practically
filed with the comb, proving that the
bees had been in possession for several
years. Empty combs of the queen bee
also showed that they had swarmed.
How the bees got there can only be
guessed, but it is surmised that a squir-
rel once occupied a decayed hole in the
tree, cleared away the decay, occupied
the cavity as its home, and there died.
Then the bees entered into possession
and filled the hole with comb, when by
some means the entrance, which must
have been small, became stopped, the
larger quantity Of grub and fly being
taken as demOnstrative that the nest was
not voluntarily deserted. Then for fifty
years the growth of timber went on.
The entrance being absolutely Obliter-
ated and the hole being Theoretically
sealed, the comb was preserved from de-
cay for half century, to be found at
last in the way described.

THE sTOCK-RANCH.
UuItlvatLng Colt Courage.

A horse that is naturally courageous
may be made cOwardly by abuse. If he
often receives blows the fear of them is
uppermOst, and any unknown noise is
imagined to be a coming hurt, to escape
which Is an uncomfortable impulse.
Forgetting that temper is the valuable
quality of the horse-its owner tries to
break" its temper-tO COW the animal.
The horse should be trained, not broken;
and training requiring hrmness mixed
with much kindness. AS abuse Will
make it cOwardly, SO kindness will make
it courageous. The basis of courage is
confidence, and the first point is to Sc
cure confidence of the colt. The next
is to make the colt sure of his surround
ings. If he has confidence in his trainer
this will not be difficult. If he SHES at
stump or a rock, ride or drive him up
to it. Drive him nearer and nearer to
the cars until he is no longer afraid of
them. Have the whistle sounded when
his head is turned toward it, and repeat
this till he ceases to start at the sound.
Handle his limbs and touch them with
a strap until he no longer shrinks.
The courageous horse, the one with
the spirit trained, not broken, is the
horse that does the most work. Among
horses, it is the one with trained spirit,
with fine temper, that does the least
harm, the most work, and in danger acts
quickly and intellige ntly.-ECcbange

SCIENTIFIC Rreeding.

When we consider that all the various
breeds of cattle, and all the best speci-
mems of the breeds have been developed
and brought down from the same com
non ancestry, We are ready to acknOwl-
edge the powerful influence of care, of
feed, of science in breeding, and de-
velOping a farm animal. Hence it may
be seen that true, scientific, skillfuI
breeding is like clay in the hands of
the potter: For we should bear in min d
that the pOnderous draft horse and the
small Shetland pony have been bred
and developed from the same far back
common ancestry. This is equally true
of cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry. In
the present century more real progress
and improvement has been accom-
plished than in all previous centuries.
In the horse department the great per-
formers on the turf have decended from
two or three distinguished families. In
the first decade of this century only two
horses had a record under three min
utes. In the last decade $40 have been
admitted to the 2:30 class. Has this
been accomplished by pedigree alone,
or rather has it not been done by a
judiciOus combination Of pedigree, feed,
care, and performance by the scientific
mating of the very best perform ers,
both on the side Of sire and dam?
Hence the vital importance of intelli-
gent, scientific breeding; or breeding
for a purpose. Two bodies Of equal
weight, set in motion on the same line,
the one with the greater velocity over
taking the other, is hindered in It's
speed by contact with the slower body.
Equally true is it with coupling a SUI
periOr animal, made so by actual per-
! Torrance, skill, care, feeding, and
| breeding, with an inferior animal, made
so, it may be, by neglect in care, feed,
| and breeding. The result must of
necessity come far short of possible
success. AS increased velocity pro-
/ duces stronger momentum, so an animal,
backed by the momentum of skilfuI and
fauItIess pedigree and brilliant per-
formance, coupled with his equal, must
produce highly successful results

IT is related of Matthew Arnold that
he was once bored during a long jour
ney by an ignoramus who would talk
literature to him. Arnold would not
dispute with him; but, when, with the
portentous seriousness of one who has
discovered a great truth, he said, "In
my opinion William Shakespeare was
a great poet, Arnold warmly grasped
his hand, and with equal gravity said,
do let me shake hands with the only
admirer of my favorite poet" A story
Of a different kind is told of Doctor
Oliver Wendell Homes. Travelling
down to Gloucester once, he was
dragged into long conversation, which
ended in a countryman's taking the
''autocrat's" hat and saying, ct read
something in the paper the other day
about the size of great mems heads,

Notes

GOOD soil makes good cattle; poor
soil, poor cattle.
NEVER wash a horse with cold water
when he is heated.
FEED your horse three times daily,
but never overfeed.
WATER before feeding, but not while
the horse is hot from work.

stick to cattle must also resolve that the

Cutting Fodder for sheen.

Sheep are fond Of fine, soft heritage,
and, as is known, will pick OF the leaves
and fine branches of the best cured
clover, leaving the body of the stock
uneaten. And Of cOrn-fOdder they never
eat more than the leaves, tassels, etc.
They pick over straw, but eat only the
chaff and fine parts. But when hay is run
through a cutter and cut very fine, they
will eat it quite clean. Even straw cut
fine, viii be mostly eaten by sheep. In
a large experience in cutting fodder we
have found the saving in cutting for
sheep even greater than cattle. When
the fodder is cut it is easy to mix with 1t
ground feed or grain, and the sheep
Will then eat the cut fodder and grain
together, lnsurlng q reconsideration OF the
grain and its digestion and assimilation.
In fattening Of sheep, cutting the coarse
fodder viii be found very advantageOu
first, because much fodder viii be saved
and the grain better utilized; second.
because the sheep can safely be crowded
in fattening, without danger of disease,
when the grain is always eaten with
coarse fodder. When sheep are fed
heavily with grain alone, it is not rPised
and remasticated, and sometimes Is
likely to produce fever in the stomach;
but when the grain IS eaten with cut
fodder it lies light and porous in the
stomach, and is we'll acted upon by the
gastric juice, which can circulate freely
through the mass; the food is then
readily digested, and passes through
the system without creating any irrita-
ton. As coarse fodder is raised and re-
masticated, the grain mixed with it is
also raised and remasticated. Using
short cut coarse fodder makes it most
convenient to feed great variety Of
food that sheep are very fond of-corn,
oats, middlings, oil cake, peas, un-
marketable beans, barley, etc. We have
no doubt that cutting feed pays for all
our farm stock, when feeding is carried
on upon a considerable scale, for
then the cutting Will be done with
ample power, which enables two tons Of
fodder to be cut per hour, but with only
a few animals it is likely to cost more
than the gain in fodder.
