this, there is no need Of working the but

This was at a time when live stock sold
at high price and is taken to cover differ
ent wears The last cows feed was twenty
pounds of hay per day about seven pounds
at a time, fed morning, noon and evening,
with four quarts Of potatoes morning and
evening in addition to the hay. The first
fourteen days she churned - pounds Of
butter, or three pounds daily.
when first tried the experiment Of
feeding cows in winter, fed two with
meal two quarts morning and evening
which was considered a moderate feed The
result was | soon had gargettv cows; so |
left off that feed and fed potatoes to mich
cows, and the result has been no garget
If COWS are kept in warm stables that do
not freeze, and have access to good running
water in the shed and drink morning and
evening, and are fed regularly every day
they will keep fat and their butter will be
as yellow as summer butter without color
ing. If you have COW come in in the fall
or winter, you can make more butter in the
winter months than you can from pastur-
ing If you feed a cow 20 pounds OF hay
cut the middle of June, and peck of pota-
toes-four quarts in the morning and four
at night-she will eat her feed up clean
and when comfortable and warm will begin
at once to raise and chew it again until all
is thoroughly mixed and prepared for di
gestion and thus will be ready for the next
meal. After supper the COW begins the
same process, which lasts until between
eight and nine o'clock, after which she lies
down and sleeps as we do. You will not
find cow chewing her cud after that hour
When she has raised her food and chewed
it over, it begins at once to do its work in
the formation Of milk and flesh so that the
COW is kept good beef while she furnishes a
good flow of a rich quality Of milk which
makes just as nice yellow butter in winter
as in summer. The COW that made in four
teen days ~ pounds of butter, or three
pounds daily, and yielded 633 pounds in -
months, was fed 20 pounds of hay per day,
cut in the middle Of June, aud four quarts
of potatoes morning and evening. The

Change of the Fn, Element. in Fodder.

1t has been claimed that no change is
produced in the fat contained in folders in
It's appropriation in the animal system .
this is denied by Prof Cooke of the Yer
mont experiment station. who makes the
claim that it has to undergo some change
or other in passing through the system Of
the animal before it can finally be laid up
the same as with the other nutritive ele-
ments. This point seems to have been
pretty fully proven in experiments tried by
DR.. Rabcock at the New York experiment
station, by taking a COW and testing the
physical characteristics of the fat of her
milk, after which she was fed largely with
cotton seed meal. the oil Of which has
very great difference from the oil Of but

that in passing through the organs of the
animals the cotton seed oil had in some way
been acted upon and these physical proper

that the sulphurized oils which exist in ON
ions, turnips and some other vegetables,
will carry with them their strong flavor and

the feeding of turuipS in small quantities
immediately after milking produces little
or no change of flavor; which goes to show
that even these oils may be acted upon and

Parkers' Army Coffin.

DostOu IrdNcltTs NdSlllus tOu Lcttcr
A veteran of the regular army said to me
while in a reminiscent mood: ''The widest
madcap of the.federal army, during the late
war of the rebellion, was Dwight Parker,
who was on Hancocks staff. Brave as a lion,
handsome as apicture, he was the ideal soldier.
Dwight got furlough after he had served a
long time at the front and behaved himself I'M
til his arrival in Philadelphia. There he pro-
ceeded to 'inaugurate howl as you boys say
now, but we used to call it "a spree He Just
climbed all over the town. If there was any
resident who didn't know he was in the city it
wasn't his fault. He did the best he knew how,
and Dwight wasn't man of mean abilities in
that line either. Right in the middle of this
spree he went to the uundertaker's and got
measured for coffin. This, with plate bear
ing his name with blank space left for the
date of his death, was forwarded to the Cont
mental hotel Dwight was very proud of it.
and celebrated its arrival in a manner peculiar
to himself. When his furlough had almost ex-
pired he packed up his baggage and his coffin
and started for the front. Hancock and the
officers of the staff were at first inclined to look
upon Parker's coffin as something CHASTITY but
everything went in the army in those days, and
finally all hands got SO accustomed to seeing
the thing around headquarters that they began
to use it as sort of waste paper receptacle.
What became of it? Well, / don't remember.
Parker died several years ago on Governor
Island, MY, but he had a brand new coffin on
that occasion, for saw it. l guess Parker
was the only soldier on either side who carried
his coffin with him during the war"
