Give u Variety of Food.

The policy OF feeding any ami
NAL only one kind OF feed is a great
mistake. 1t is not possible for them
10 thrive thus. nor is this their natural
way Of feeding. Observe COW or
horse at pasture. If there is any
variety in the succulent heritage they
avail themselves OF it. Even weeds
are not disdained between mouthfuls
OF clover and grass. In the barnyard
in winter little bright straw will be
greedily eaten by animals whose usual
diet Is hay. People in cities who keep
q horse or COW. and have to buy every
thing they feed. are most apt to re-
strict animals and with least excuse.
By using u little forethought they can
secure variety OF feed. and all will
then be eaten, with less waste than is
the case where only one kind at time
Is given. Appetite fails from lack OF
variety in horses and cows, us it does
in men

Yoeding Horses.


Nearly cvery farmer has his own
ideas In reference to feeding horses,
and especially those who look after
their stock carefully and GEEK TO de-
rive from each the largest profit
Horses must be kept on the farm all
OF the time, and to more or less ex-
tent at least, they must nearly always
be ready for service. and this implies
keeping them in good. thrifty condi-
ton. The small amount OF feed that
may be saved by stinting the feed
when the teams arc ut rest, Is usually
more than made up blythe extra feed
requied to get them In the proper con-
dition for work. In order to get the
most work at the least cost with the
teams it is very essential that they
should DO In thrifty. vigorous condi-
ton. and this is fully as important
during the winter as in the summer.
Horses as we'll rs any other class OF,

but need an occasional change. TO

ton at the lowest cost This is
good ration. but when fed for any
length of time, the horses tire Of 1t
and need change. Unthreshed oats
run through cutting box and small
quantity OF bran added. is another
good ration. and oftentimes very
economical one; but it should not be
used exclusively too long. Straw,
clover hay and bran with little oil
meal is another good ration. Where
it is raised a ration OF part oats and
barley with hay or fodder can be given.
On the average farm there ought not

variety, and to make sufficient
changes to keep in good appetite if II
little pains are taken.

ShrInknge of Corn.

Old corn is worth more than new,
because 1t contains the concentrated
nutriment OF the grain after its water
has evapOrated. This moisture in
new corn is injurious, as it leads to
fermentation rather than digestion in
stomachs OF weak digestion. Besides,
this corn shrinks greatly in bulk while
thoroughly drying, the Western or
HorsetOOth corn more especially. II

his crib, he does we'll to take out

Al Bride VINO Was Coy.

At a small station on the Georgia
Pacific road bridal couple boarded
our train. They were of the cracker"
variety and their greenness at once at
tracted attention. They had tickets
for Atlanta and were going on u
tour" They hadn't been on the train
ten minutes when the bride was noticed
to be weeping. and pretty soon the
groom came back to where l sat with
the conductor. and said:
conductor. / wish you'un would
go'n speak to Mary"
Whats the matter with Maryp"
was asked.
'.She'un's a-wecpin' fur her ma.
Says she'un wants to go right back
home"
She'll get over it." said the official,
and the groom returned to his seat 1t
wasn't over ten minutes, however. be-
fore he returned to say:
Conductor. she'uns a'takin' on like
smoke. Says she can't abide to be
mar'd. nohow. and her wishes her dun
hadn't done it."
well. she'll have to make the best
of it," replied the conductor, and the
groom returned to console her. She
turned away from him. however. and
pretty soon he was back to say:
Conductor. she'un declars she'll
go home to ma on foot. never dun
sec anybody so onery."
Wasn't it marriage for lovep"
"Your shoutin it was! We'uns hev

Il guess she's little coy. That
will all wear off in time"
The groom went to the rear of the
car after a drink Of water and just then
the train stopped at a station. The
bride was up and out on the platform
like flash, and the car had not ceased
its motion when she leaped to the
ground. fell head over heels, and
scrambled up and started back up the
track on a run. The groom rushed
out of the car and jumped to the plat
form. and us he caught sight Of his
fleeing bride he turned to tile conduc-

II is not the agricultural college that
weans the boy from the farm. but tho
dude literary college that gives a
smattering OF science, the languages
(dead) and literature. 1t Is reliably
stated that in Ontario, where they
make business OF sending children
to agricultural schools. more than
eighty-fve per cent OF them go back
to the farm. And President Chamber
lain says he has often wished that he
could exchange two years study OF
Latin, Greek and philosophy for the
instruction that is usually given in q
real agricultural college.
One serious fault OF agriculture Is
the slight attention paid to root crops

absolute necessities. in the economical
production of the best and therefore
the most profitable meats. Our Eng
lish brethren are ahead OF us In this
matter, and they have discovered for
one thing that q crop sown in early
summer has available not only all the
nitrates available to wheat or oats or
barley or rye, but also tho large sup
ply OF nitrates formed In the soil dur
ing summer and early autumn. The
autumn and winter rains wash the
soil rather bare OF nitrates before the
cereals begin growth in the spring. A
largo part Of the nitrutes which would
be lost were II cereal crop grown is
assimilated and retained by root
crop; and when the roots are fed on
the land, we may return the nitrogen
TO the soil In the manure Of the ami
mails and thus enrich the land for a
cereal crop.

Sailing stock in Winter.

Our impression is that stock, and
especially mich cows, are not gener-
ally supplied with salt SO regularly in
winter as they are at pasture in sum-
mer. There seems to many less need
OF salt with their dry feed than with
tho green heritage they get at pasture.
Yet the stock are no less eager for it,
and it probably is rs necessary to
their well-being. The only caution
about giving 1t in winter is not 10 al
low the salt to mix with snow. This
produces intense cold.

Cows Losing Their Cud.

There Is no such disease as cows
losing the cud, and the various
nostrums intended to supply it are USE
less. When the COW does not remasti-
cate her food 1t is a sign that she is
not well, probably from too much dry
and innutritious feed. A bran mash

Household Hints.

HousenOlu hints.
To take out spots from wash goods,
rub them with yolk Of egg before
washing.
The best way to fry apples Is to
halve them, remove core, put some
butter in frying pan and put in the
halves the cut side down, then add
little water and let boil dry; then fry.
To clean hair brushes, put u table,
spoonful Of ammonia into tepid water,
dip them up and down until clean,
then dry with the bristles down. In
place OF the ammonia, they may be
cleaned by using "a teaspoonful OF soda.
The fashion OF sewing tiny sachets
OF fragrant powders in the corsage OF
dresses is not new, and is certainly
very agreeable one. There also the
perfume used must be no stronger
than violet or eau d'Espagne. amber
or Orris-roOt
Ivory may be bleached by placing 1t
for an hour In solution OF alum;
then polish It with piece OF woollen
and wrap 1t In linen to dry. Another
method is to take peroxide OF hydro
gen. and to one pint OF it add one
ounce OF aqua-ammonia. Warm it
anc soak the ivory in it for twenty
four hours; then dry and polish with
chalk.
When any part OF a dress skirt or
drapery has been torn or soiled, It
can often be successfully covered by
changing the arrangement OF
draperies. or by an ingenious dispose
ton Of trimming. in harmony with
what iss&lready In use. A rent should
always be darned with ravelled
threads OF the material, and well
pressed on the wrong side. on several
! thicknesses OF heavy cloth.

stock aud D4iry Notes.

Wnen n man complains tnat MS mn
gers get so cold while he is milking,
we are ready to hear him complain
that for some reason his COWS do not
give big messes. A temperature that
makes fingers uncomfortably cold in IL
few minutes is. not calculated to help
the milk production OF an animal that
must endure it twenty-four hours per
day. Cold fingers at milking means
less milk.
Don't adopt the idea that good
beef animal must be poor mixer. 1t
is erroneous. Good calves to grow
into beef animals can not be raised
without plenty of milk, although it
may just as well be skinned milk il
something is used to replace the cream;
and we cannot have plenty of milk
without good mixers for dams. The
best beef animal. because the most
profitable, comes from u breed OF cows
that will raise good calf and with
milk and butter pay for their keep
besides.
The milk and butter test fever has
subsidized. The tests became generally
discredited. and at the best they had
little practical value. Stuffing COW
with all the milk producing food she
can handle has little practical interest
to the dairyman, and is OF little value
as evidence in favor Of breed. But
every dairyman should test the animals
OF his herd, not to see how much milk
they can give when force-fed, but to
determine which animals pay the most
or the least for their food-which are
the most and which are the least profit
able when full fed and wisely fed. The
test must take account OF the quality
OF the milk us we'll as OF its quantity.
Unless the dairyman makes these tests,
how can he know what animals he
should keep and what he should sell?

THEY ARE SINCERE.

A good deal of distruSt and denuncia-
ton has been directed at the Mormons,
in view of the possible application Of
Utah to become state. 1t is assumed
that the apparent abandonment of
p0lygamy is a pretenSe to promote state
hood and give them home rule. The
Republicans have insisted that the dis
solution of the Peoples or Mormon
party IN the territory and division upon
the lines OF national politics was one of
the means to effect the desired end.
Confidence is a plant of slow growth
in treating with the MOrmOnS, but.
if pOlygamy is abandoned in good
faith, the Mormon issue may have
small place among public and pol
itical questions. No man outside the
Mormon church should be better able TO
determine the sincerity of the profess
sions OF the church leaders than Judge
ZANE. the chief justice of the supreme
court of Utah. He is Republican, ap-
pointed by Republican president, and
man of exceptionally judicial and i'm
partial mind. He was OH the bench in
Illinois many years, and had the conf
dence of all parties. He has presided
at all the trials of MormonS for polyg-
amy in Utah, and has kept close to the
spirit of the severe enactmentS. He has
an article in the last number Of the
Forum giving his views of the situation.
He believes that when the president of
the church and his advisory cohorts for
malIy renounced polygamy they were
were in earnest. A variety of circum-
stances, including something of an in
splrati0n, go to confirm the belief. The
slow processes that brought the elders
to this point are detailed. but their con-
duct and the events following are evil
dence to the judge that they are not
playing game. He believes that the
law he has vigorously executed has ex-
tirpated polygamy, and that no relig-
ious eXgency will ever revive it. With
its abandonment, he sees nothing
in the Mormon church to cause popular
concern. 1t will cease to be political
force or element. The territory is grow

people of limited literary attachments
