HOW OF&EN TO FEED.


After once commencing to feed to fat
ten, 1t is an item to see that the stock
are Ted regularly, and that they are
gwen all that they will eat up clean at
each meal in order to secure the best
gain at the lowest cost. To fail to feed
enough is to fail to secure the best gain ::
to give more than they will eat is to
waste the extra feed. In order to de-
rive the largest profit IN feeding stock
1t IS necessary to take every advantage,
and neglect to do this will lessen in pro.
portion the profit. With nearly all
classes of stock in feeding to fatten bet
ter results will be had by feeding three
times day, but it is important that the
feeding be done regularly. To feed part
OF the time three times each day and
then miss few days and feed only twice
IS not good plan. Better results will
be secured by feeding twice regularly
every day than three times part of the
time and only twice the rest.
That is, regular feeding twice a dav
will give better results than irregular
feeding three times day. In determin-
ing the number of times to feed the farm
work must be considered. If the other
work Will not interfere with the feeding,
it is usually best to feed three times, but
1t must be done regularly. The feeding
should be done at regular hours, and,
when possible, it should be given in
daylight, dividing the time as evenly as
possible. Animals soon learn their hours
of feeding, and if they do not get their
meals at this time, even when they are
well fed they will fret and be loosing to
some extent at least. A good plan is to
look over the work that is to he done
while the stock is being fattened, and
arrange the time and manner of feeding
so that it can be done regularly with as
little interference as possible.
If it can be done three times a day
all the better; but if not, feed
only twice. Begin gradually to increase
The fattening rations until they are given
III that they will eat up clean, and then
zee that this is supplied every day.
Hogs and cattle are the principal stock ,
attened at this season; it is best to push
hem as rapidly as possible and then ,,
market as soon as they are ready.-St. ;

KaOlin.

Kaolin is the Chinese word given to
the clay from which hard porcelain is
made. This material is found in some
granite rocks in IN advanced stage of
decomposition, the feldspar, their most
important element having lost the great
err portion of its alkali and become con-
verted into kind of earth. By agita.
ton in large quantity of water it dis
solves readily; the refuse, composed of
quartz, mica and undecomposed feldspar
sinks by its own weight to the bottom
of the tank, while the kaolin is carried
into other receptacles from which it is
removed and dried for use. In this state
it is very white, and though not so
plastic as ball clay, contains little more
alumina and less iron, which accounts
for its resisting much better the action
of the fire.
Pottery is divided by eminent author
tiles into three classes. The fist is that
of soft pottery, which may be scratched
by iron. The second are hard opaque
potteries. which cannot be scratched by
iron. The third are hard potteries, but

Iron in Ancient History

That the Hebrews. Greeks md

IRON Is known. About half q century
ago metallnrgical students declared
that, ancient as metal weapons might

After prolonged study the late DR.,

STABS IN THE STOMACH.
Unexplained Fatal WOunding Of
Nah All Lee.

John Mahoney was passing along Pacific
street, near kearny, at an early hour yester-
day morning and discovered Nah All Lee
and long knife lying side by side in a big
pool OF blood. From two wounds in the
abdomen the unconscious Mongol was still
bleeding freely. The wounded man, who is
a member of the Ming Yeong Society. was
removed to the Receiving Hospital, where
his wounds were dressed.
An attempt to induce him to talk, with
the aid of an interpreter, was at first without
avail, because he was too weak from the loss
of blood. Finally lie recovered sufficiently
to say that he was a shoemaker by trade,
and as he was going down Pacific street he
met another Chinese. He says that without
word of warning this man plunged shoe
makers knife twice into his stomach and
fed, leaving the blood-stained weapon be-
mind.
Lee says he does not know his assaiant,
but 1t is thought that the stabbng was the
outcome of an old highbinder feud. Detect
ives Cox and GlennOn made an inyeStlga-
ton, but failed to discover anything new.
The affair is still draped in mystery. aud
some say that the wounds were self-in-
flicted Police Surgeon Williams believes
that the wounded man will not survive.
Lees condition was slightly improved last
night. Detective Cox said he had gathered
enough evidence to show that there is little
doubt that Lee stabbed himself, with sui
cdal intent. He was somewhat demented.
