DETRIMENTAL DAMPNEss,

Wet, mucby, black soil should be kept
for hay, and even this will be deficient
In nutriment as compared with hay from
rich, dry upland. The soft, succulent
herbage grown on damp soil is deficient
in bone-making material. and the moist
ure of the land tends to make the feet of
pastured stock soft and unsound. The
hoofs of horses reared on dry mountain
land can go unshod without injury, while
a case of footrot in sheep is never heard
of; nor have sheep ever been seen feed
ing upon their knees because of excessive
wearing upon the stony soil. Dry pas
ture is productive of sound animals, with
good bone, sound, tough hoofs and
good, hardy constitutions; while weak,
tcnderfooted and lymphatic animals all
come from soft, undrained fields where
the herbage is rank and watcry. Drain
ago of such fields is imperative for the
good condition of the stock, it is indis-
pensiblc for their health and sound lungs.
To breathe the vapors from wet ground is
injurious, and in investigating the causes
for disease which affects some herds and
flocks more than others, the characters of
the soil should be the first element con-
sidercd. The prevailing diseases of any
season are found where animals have
been kept on wet pasture or in damp
stables, and the splenic fever, blackleg
and tuberculosis OF cattle, and pinkeye
and influenza of horses, may in nearly
every instance be traced back to this in
furious effect of undrained land or damp
buildings.-NeD Yorb Tribune.

PROPER FEEDING.

The amount of food digested by any
animal is the basis Of the product To
increase the digestive ability of the ami
NAL is great step in the improvement
of dairy stock, and this should be made
a special point in the rearing of calves.
But as animals differ considerably in this
natural ability and as food that is not di-
gested is wasted or becomes a cause of
disease, every farmer should take pains
to measure the capacity of his animals in
this respect and make a note of it for his
guidance. When food is left uncon.
sumed the ultimate point of digestive
ability is reached, add the quantity con-
sumed should be made the special ration
oil that animal. In feeding calves the
ration should be made up of the most
nutritious food, but not such as contains
much fat. SKINNED milk, always given
warmed to eighty degrees, with ground
oats and bran in moderate proportions at
first, and gradually increased, is the best
for them. In feeding cows the product
OF milk and butter should be made
test for the quantity of food given. As
long as an increase of product is noted
the feeding may be gradually increased,
but special care is to be observed as to
the result of the feeding upon the ami
mails health. The first outward result
will be noted in the condition of the
udder with a decrease in the milk pro-
duct, and this is to be watched very
closely.-Ne,o York. Times.

feathered friends. Without comfortable
quarters for them you cannot hope for
many eggs in winter. If you have such
place give for their morning feed
mash composed of one part boiled and
mashed vegetables, one part corn meal
and one part shorts or midlings. Small
potatoes, carrots, parsnips or turnips,
any or all are good for this purpose. Mix
this feed up with hot water. Do not
make it sloppy, but as thick as you can
stir it. Add to this two or three times a
week, dash of red pepper, and about
once week little sulphur. Feed it
while warm, not hot. Onions chopped
fine and added to their morning feed are
excellent, and will help to keep the fowls
in good health. Do not feed too many
onions, however, or they will .impart to
eggs a decidedly unpleasant flavor.
formerly fed my fowls three times
day, but experience has taught me that
twice a day is preferable. l gave the
afternoon feed about 3 7. NJ, and l find
a mixture composed of various grains,
such as buckwheat, corn, oats, sun1ower
seeds aud wheat give the best results.
Caution is required in feeding corn and
sunflower seeds, as they have tendency
to produce fat, and an overfat hen will
not lay. My plan of feeding corn is to
give it to the fowls on the cob and let
them pick it off. This gives them exer-
else, which is very essential when they
are confined in small pens.
In addition to the above feed, some
kind of green food is necessary. Suspend
a head of cabbage by string from the
ceiling, Just high enough from the floor
so that the fowls will be obliged to Jump
to get at it. They will enjoy it greatly.
Probably the best green food that can be
given them is clover hay, chopped fine
and steamed. Let them have access to
crushed oyster shells and broken bone at
all times, and a feed of meat scraps once
a week is greatly relished. With the
above small extra care your fowls should,
and undoubtedly will, pay handsome
profit. If they do not, perhaps the most
profitable plan will be to cut their heads
of.

No Nickels for Nevada.

"This talk about introducing copper
cents in San Francisco reminds me of the
attempts made to bring five-cent pieces
into circulation in Virginia City," said
General Daniel O'Connell. "a dime has
always been the smallest coin there, and
the nickels that men brought in their
pockets from California had either to stay
there or be thrown away. No one in
Virginia City would compromise the
dignity Of the place by accepting them.
Finally dry goods merchant returned
from the city with lot Of the half dimes.
He didn't want to lose than, so he ad-
vertised a great twenty-cent sale. His
scheme was to give the nickels in change
for the quarters that would be rendered
for his bargains. Well, do you know,
sir, that as soon as the ladies got on to
his scheme they just boycotted his place,
and within two months he had to close
his shop. That stopped the nickel busi-
ness, aud TO this day dime is the small
est change you can get on the Comstock.

to you you lose five cents, and if you

A shrlek and Laugh Preseryed.

Among the speaking cylinders relig-
iously treasured by Inventor Edison at
Orange, N. j., is one that was impressed
with the voice of the late tragediaE.
John Mccullough, when in the madhouse
in which he died. With wonderful power
and pathos he used TO quote at random
passages from his favorite plays, but in
variably ended each passage with that
indescribable laugh of raving maniacs
which thrill the blood IN the veins of the
most hardened to human sufferings and
sentimentality. That laugh was partly a
shrek and partly gasp, and the two
component parts are rendered by the
phonograph with astounding realism

FEEDrNa For Eaas IN wINrrn.

At this season of the year, when eggs
command a high price, the main object
with all who keep poultry for profit is to
force the egg production up TO the highest
possible point, says Emery S. Pugh in the
american Culticdt0r. It would be well,
however, to select few Of the choicest
fowls from the flock to be used for breed
ing purposes, aud place them in a sepa-
rate apartment, and not stimulate them
TO egg production until eggs are wanted
for Matching purposes. II this is done
you will have better chicks than you
otherwise would. Fowls forced TO their
utmost now will not produce such strong,
vigorous offspring as those that are not.

HE WAS CONVERTED TO ENsrLAoE.


A neighbor who doesn't keep COWS had
been buying his supply OF butter from
another neighbor. The buyer had con-
vinced himself that he possessed very
keen discernment, and had formed
prejudice against ensilage, believing not
only that it spoiled butter, but that he
detected bad favor st once in butter
manufactured from this food On meet
ing the son of his butter making friend
one day, he gave orders to be informed
as soon as the silo was opened, and he
would procure his butter elsewhere. The
boy reported the order to his father, who
quietly forbade any such proceeding.
After a while the silo was opened and the
cows fed judiciously for four weeks.
Then one evening the dairyman called
upon mis- customer in a friendly way, and
in the course of conversation the con-
sumcr repeated the request to be informed
when the silo was to be opened. The
dairyman remarked: every well, I sup
pose you have found the butter all right
so far" go, yes, was the immediate
response. $50 far it is all right" "Ha,
hal" laughed the farmer, ~ have been
giving my COWS all the ensilage they
would cat for a month" "There," said
the wife of the buyer, 'T told you that
our butter had been much improved dur
ing the last four weeks" The result was
a complete conversion of the neighbor
who supposed he so disliked cnsilage
products. The moral OF this is, that if
cows ration be judiciously balanced,
the milk, cream or butter will be above
.uspicion. 1t is natural for the cow to
give good product, but she must be fed
good food regularly and in sensible guam
titles aud proportions. s.-Homesteaa

About the first of October last, an at

based upon charges which had been
made against him in New York state.
The supreme court OF this state has just

dismissing all charges against him.
Mr.. Baum's troubles in his old home,
are best told by an article which appeared
in one of the New York papers about the
time he came here. We quote the fol
lowing from the paper:
mo case has ever come to light in this
city that has excited nor discussion
among the residents than the one over
the attempted disbarment of Peter M.
Baum from practicing at his profession
as an attorney-at-law. Mr.. Baum was
born in Herkimer county and read law i n
the Office of the Hon. Robert Earl, one of
the associated judges of the court of APP
peals in this state. In 1874 he began
the practice of law in Duchess county,
and continued to practice there until
May last, when he came to the city of
Syracuse, where he has resided ard
rracticed law with success up to the
present time. While he was in Duchess
county, he had as a law partner, the Hon.
Guy G. H. Corliss, the present chief jus

justice in the United States. Mr.. Baum,
while in Duchess county was engaged
in some of the most exciting and import

That day was the seventy sixth anniver-
sity of her birth and she is still hale and
hearty. Coming from Indiana nearly
two years ago, Mrs. Moore has bravely
faced the hardships of ranch life, and is
now the owner of some choice lands near
Great Falls. She still reads without
glasses and attends to her W house
hold duties. She is a strong democrat of
the Jetfersonian school. and still remem-
beers many Incidents of early politics
which she tells in an interesting manner
She remembers distinctly the campaign
during which jackson made his success
full canvass. On her birthday she was
the recipient of a number of useful
and valuable presents. After congratu-
lations and good wishes had been ex-
pressed, the party sat down to a sumptu-
Gus dinner. The TRIBUNE extends con-
gratu.ations to Mrs. Moore, and wishes
that her days of usefulness may still be
long continued.
