FOODS FOR TIE DAIRY.
The Best Feed for Producing MIA and
Butter.

Butter.
At the recent meeting Of the New
York nsjrymgu's AssociHtiau Mr.. Al
van Derendorf, Of Herkiuar County,
spoke Of foods for the dairy. A sum
mary Of his remarks is given by the
Country Gentleman, to which we are in
debted for the following;
Judicious feeding, he said, starts all
I Improvements, and these improvements,
thus begun, are perpeDuated by breed
ing. But feed g Is the basis, and there
is little doubt that the success of some
Of the great breeders was owing as much
to their knowledge Of the COM inations
Of food as 70 ANY thing else. To pro
duce what we want in any certain line
it is necessary to begin with the calf.

straw and five pounds Of clover hay is 3
better ration than eighteen pounds Of
straw and two quarts OF corn-meal. Clover
is rich in alhuminoids, and is n OF .he
finest foods to balance up the oarse fod-
ders like c~ornstalks, straw or very poor
hay. Knowing the feeding value Of the
different foods there is no difficulty in
using up every thing grown on the farm
to good advantage,
lnsolvent dairies are like insolvent

what is due, and the sooner they are got

will develop a naturally poor mixer
into u paying animal for the dairy.
Good cows are born, not made. The
common ration among dairymen is about
all the hay a COW will eat, with q GER
tain amount OF grain, usually consisting
Of corn, oats and wheat bran. This
ration may contain q sufficient amount
Of the nutrients necessary for Il full flow
Of milk, but the great objeCtiou to it is
that 1t is too expensive and limits the
number Of COWS to d given number Of
nnrRS.

"HAs AGENTS EVERYWHERE"


ut0i N'il
The Phenix OF Brooklyn is one Of the
wonders Of fire insurance, and one Of the
famous companies Of the world Its rapid
rise il popular favor is without parallel.
The familiar sign ''The Fheuix of Brook
Ign Has Agents Everywhere. ' while ap-
pareutly exaggerutive, is almost literally
true so far as the United States IS con-
cerned Should the reader, no matter WIKI
or where, wonder whether the Company Is

Ans this in part explains its success. An
other explanation is thai IL is as prompt
I and active in the settlement of losses as in
the pursuit Of premiums.
The headquarters Of the Company's w est
ern and Southern Department are located
in its own building at Chicago. In the
West and South il dees q business as large
rs, if not larger than, that Of any other
company. In farm insurance it leads,

Since its organization in 1858 the Pheuix

lief afforded by the redistribution Of this
vast amount among the people cannot be
accurately determined 1t has supplemented
credit, promoted trade and lostered all in

establishments have thus been enabled To
substitute the new for the old, while 4 still

"Bye-bye,' ejaCulated Sam, nurrving
into the library and unfolding NeIly's
paper, where he read:

We'll, I'm jiggeredm reared Sam, 'if
that isn't the greatest stuff! Just like

Nell did not answer. Sleigh bells
jingled outside: he ran to the window
and saw the sleigh just passing through
the gate, and speeding out Of sight; the
horse was tired Of waiting and vent of

Ill burn this mess up. Real girl talk!'
With this whitening sarcasm on his
lips, Sam put the luekless rhymes deer
into the stove and saw them burn with
impish glee. Then he set himself tc
work, and by dint Of perseverance and
reflection devised his own jingle.

interest may be helpful in having
justice done the faithful horse: Do NOT
let horses shoes remain on over three
TO Six weeks, dependent on the amount
OF use and the t~oughness and growth of
the boofs. Each time after taking of
the shoes, if the road permits, let him
go barefoot as long rs no injury follows,
as TINS expands the hoofs and keeps
them in more perfect condition. Some
horses can be used barefoot, of pave
ments' for months, or the whole year
round, and work better than il shod.
never allow the frog of the foot to be
cut out or trimmed unless somewhat
ragged, and then only a very little, as il
acts asa cushion to the foot and lessons
or ever prevents bruising when striking
a stone or any other hard substance.
