"What is butter fat:' The fat or
fatty globules which the COW secretes
from the glands connected with her I'D
der. The COW also secretes another kind
of fat called tallow. These fats differ in
their constituent elements. as will be
shown when the analysis of butter is
given.

grass growing rapidly will have an eX-

stomach without full food supply, just
as green sowcd and va,hy fodder corn
has less than ten pounds of nutrimcnt to

was nado from grass alone than the year

HORNLESS CATTLE.


OF Them!
OF late there has been less said on the
subject Of dehorning cattle than was
written and said year or two ago. SO
far as we understand tho sentiment of
the cattle handling community it has
resolved itself to remove the horns on
bulls, vicious cows and steers that are to
be fattcl for the SHAMELESS. Good we'll
hchavcd cows will not as rule be dis
mautlcd OF their horn appendages 1t is
certain that the shortholn breeders and
the jersey breeders will never consent to
Il removal of the horns. On the con-
trary they viii devote much time, skill
ana expense in fling scraping, coloring
and polishing the headgear of their pet
animals.
The average cattle handlers, though,
would prefer cattle without horns,
though many of them doubt tho proprie-
" of dchorning. Mr. Morse, of the
Windsor farm. has given the subject of
horns or no horns much study. and has
some confidence that he can produce n
family Of Holstcins that will be born
without horns. He argues that curb
back is apt to be transmitted by horse,
and why not hornless head in cattle?
Defects are reproduced, whether natural
or artificial with considerable certain
tv. and the transmission becomes more
certain with each generation until the
popularity is fixed. There is some
logic in the gentleman's reasoning, and
we shall not be surprised to see hornless
heads, made hornless by breeding,
among the Windsor Holsteins
Ii j, altogether probable that breed
of cattle could be produced in time with
only one horn or without tails Patience
and perseverance in one direction would
accomplish almost any marvel of that
kind. These results are scarcely more
remarkable than the popularity of the
Poland China hogs, for instance, which
nave become fiXcd-the tip forward of
lhe top ct The fine ear, the heavy hams
and the color, which differs from all
.thcr breeds, or the dished face of the
mail Iork>hiroe; or to go back to cattle

Any theory that fails to result in eggs
u She winter Is a failure, however nice
IS advanced Any theory that suggests
mprdctic9lle Things for the locality for
which it is written is also useless. For
Instance, the advice TO feed oyster shells
to chickens in Dakota and wheat to them
n the New England states is not practi-
cal. Reverse the conditions or reverse
jhc feed, and the task becomes an easy
one. Oyster shells are plenty in New
England aud wheat in Dakota. The ad-
vice SO often given to give green food
is very good. and vet many people will
have but little TO give during the win
ter.
Fresh meat is recommended. Few
win have it TO spare, and yet nearly
every one has milk Il is good either
sweet or sour. and will largely replace
fresh meat. We know Of nothing better
OF more accessible to the majority of
farmers than milk. Il should be warmed

The pullets for next season should now
be selected. Those Matched early in
spring that do not begin to lay by De
ccmber, at the latest, should be killed
of. Those that do lay should be kept in
proper condition for laying all through
the winter, and it is best not to feed
them so as to make them fat. Keep
them growing, and bring them to an
carly maturity. If they are of good

Talmage, who is IN this city to-day

been used as extensively as Christ in
tended It to be used, would have saved
disoord and sorrow-the power of kind
ness. His text is ga soft tongue

Following is his sermon:
When Solomon said this he drove a
whole volume into one phrase. You, Of
course, will not be SO silly as to take the
words of the text in literal sense.
They simply mean TO set forth the fact
that there is tremendous power in a
kind word. Although it may seem to
be very magnificent, its force is inde-
scribable and illimitable. Pungent and
all conquering utterance: "a soft
tongue breaketh the bone -
II the weather were not so hot, and 1
had time, would show you kindness as
a means of defense; kindness as means
of usefulness; kindness as q means of
domestic harmony; kindness as best en-
ployed by governments for the tanning
and curing of criminals; and kindness
as best adapted for the settling and ad-
justing OF International qusrrels; but 1
shall call your attention only to two of
these thoughts.
And first, 1 speak to you of kindness as
e means of defense. Almost every man,
In the course of his life, is set upon and

preted or your religious or political prin-
ciples are bombarded. What to do under
such circumstances is the question. The
