Mistakes in Feeding Grain,

Grain, being concentrated, supplies
the fat and starch more readily than the
coarser foods, but it is cheaper to use
those portion of the gram for breeding
stock and young animals that contain the
largest proportions of the clements of
growth, and bran and middlings will give
inc pest results for the purpose. 1t may
be safe to feed nothing but hay to the
cows if they are in very good condition,
allowing, however, an occasional mess of
bran and linseed meal. Large messes of
corn meal should be avoided, but ground
oats may be used by way of variety.
The growing calf or colt will net thrive
unless 1t is given a liberal supply of food
containing the mineral matter SO
necessary to It's rapid development,
which cannot be procured from grain
alone. Hay is, therefore, more valuable
than any otter crop.

Lime TN the Food.

All foods contain lime, but there is a
deficiency of lime in many of the foods
used almost exclusively ferstock. There
is only II pound of lime in twenty-five
bushels of wheat or corn and when we
take iuto consideration that the dam
must not only appropriate a portion of
this lime TO repair her OWL bodily wastes
but also to furnish bone for her embryo
young, it is plain that grain is no a suit
able food for breeding stock unless fed in
connection with food that abounds in
lime. Hay, grass or green food of any
kind tends TO supply the de.
ticiency, as 100 pounds of good clovcrhay
contain three pounds of lime as well as
other minerals that are required. Glover
is also highly heterogeneous, supplying
flesh forming elements and also contains
a proportion of heat producing sub
stances. The farmer who is expecting
his mares or COWS to come in should not
fail to supply a liberal amount of clover

There is plenty of room for fruit on
every farm. Farmers give special atten.
zion to apples, but one-.enth of them
grow peaches, pears, strawberries, grapes,
raspberries, currants or cherries, even for
home use.
Corn left standing in the field is not
only injured by exposure but the shocks

and rabbits, destroy OF waste q large por-

The American hog shows more fat and
produces more lard than those of Europe,
due to u large corn crop. The best
way to dispose of corn Is to convert it
into pork, and the fodder into beef.
Use a thermometer in the stable. cellar

Rice CAN eat more chocolate creams at a

than any girl in the profession. She
buys her bonbons by the five pound pack
age, and eats them between meals and
with every course but soup. Her chum
is Bruno, a big, black Newfoundland,
who goes out with her every day for a
three mile breath of fresh air and travels
with her on the road. Bruno has a bunk
in the baggage car, but his mistress pro-
vldcs him with a lambs wool slumber
blanket, and the friendship he makes
with the train men insure him the best of
care.
at home Fanny Rice is the wife of a
dentist, and her marriage has not been a
failure. She is mistress of a pretty flat,
over which she presidcs with queenly
grace, usually,attired in some long, cling

Bodies Buried at Sea.

"Why are the bodies of passengers
who die on ocean steamships ut sea
thrown overheard instead of being
brought to portP" WAS asked of a NAVY
officer.
alt depends upon circumstances
whether it is advisable to bury a per
SOL at sea WHO dies on s%hipboard," was
the reply. 'lf the vessel is within a
day or two of the end of the voyage,
there is no good reason for not bring
ing the body into port, although a
superstition prevails among sailors
that if a dead body is kept on board it
means the inevitable destruction of
the vessel. And it is often the case
that when a body is shipped on board
"A vessel to cross the ocean the fact is
kept from the knowledge of the sail
ors."
"1t is contcnded by some that the
burial of q body at sea is not attended
with the solemn ceremony thatit ought
to be?"
"a burial at sea casts a gloom over
the whole ship, and it is natural for
the officers of a vessel to avoid osten-
tation and display. All mariners are
firm in their conviction that when a
person dies at sea, unless within a few
hours run to port, the body should be
given up to the deep. As Il rule, YES
sells are not provided with any place
where a body may be kept, MOI do the
medicine chests contain any drugs or
chemicals by which it can be embalm-
cd. Some of the lines, l believe the
White star and French Transatlantic,
carry metallic collins in which the
bodies of those dying at sea, when the
urgent requestof their friends is made,
may be placed until the vessel reaches
port. But there is no law, as some
have asserted, which makes it compul-
sorry to bury a body at sea.
LAS for the burial service, the body
is usually sewed up in canvas and
heavy pieces of iron. and either CRATE
bars or shot. are fastened to it to
cause it to sink. Then the body is
taken to the gangway and the officers
and crew are asscmblcdby the captain,
who reads the Episcopal burial SER
vice, as prepared for such occasions,
the ship being stopped meanwhile.
The service being completed, the plank
upon which the body rests is tipped up
and the body slides Into the ocean and
sinks, being carried down by the
heavy weights. Then the vessel is
put on her course and goes ahead.
Surely there is nothing inhnman or
unbeconling in this.n-New YORK. 7,i-
