RATIONS FOR COWS.


Make n Distinction Between Feeding for
Butter and for Beef.
We must make a distinction between
feeding for butter and for beef. We
must find out the inclination of the
cows-what they will do with the food.
The first thing a COW should do is to
pay for her board and her care. If
they will not do this we do not want
them. They must, however, go further
than this, and give up profit. There
should not be much hustling about the
COW stable If the cowman is in hur-
ry to go to the village, let him start the
Chores little sooner rather than
bang the cows about, Milking should
be done with our. might, mind and
strength. Talk has no place in the
stable.
Good clover comes next in the order
of inexpensive rations, In the pasture,
the aftermath or in the stable. 1t
should be cured when there is the most
honey in it. Glover does not impoverish
the soil. The more we grow of it the
more our soil will grow of other crops.
The short crop of hay with us, three
years ago, when we had to feed grain
to our cows to get them through, proved
to the farmers of this section that feed
ing grain to cows is an advantage, as
our cows never did better.
Next to the clover comes corn. The
sowed fodder corn is poor enough, not
better than sticks soaked in water
Hundreds of acres of such trash are
grown and called food. Corn should be
put in drills and the kernels one foot
apart-to get the most yield of real
food. Green rye is good In the early
spring, also oats and green corn in their
turn. The old pastures must be plowed
up and reseeded; many If them are run
out, and it takes too much territory to
pasture our cows. We can run cheap
fence around part of them and put on
some other crop to renew them, ad
then reseed them.-Nathan Clark in
| Farmer Stock Breeder.

chief virtue lies in the fact that it can

well as when close to the ground. There
is no special plan for the gate. 1t only

BLOOD Letting in Persia.

In Persia blood letting is the same pam
acea for well nigh all tleshly Ills to-day
that il Was with our ancestors IN the days
OF bluff King Hal In the spring every
Persian HES him TO the barber surgeon to
have that professional phlebotomist re
lieve him of say, half a pint of blood
One sunny March morning sat up on the
bala Khana Of village chapa house and
watched the barber bleed a goodly share
of the whole male population. With his
arms barred to the elbows, bunch of raw
cotton in lieu of lint beneath his arm, and
his keen edged razor inserted beneath his
cap, the travelling tonsorial artist took up
his position on the bank of the irrigating
ditch that ran through the village Of Las
grid. Candidates for his services soon
began erowding about him. Each sturdy
ryot barred his right arm to the shoulder.
and got one Of his neighbors to bind a
handkerchief tightly just above the elbow.
He then presented himself TO the barber,
The tonsorial artist pressed out with his
thumb and foretlnger the small vein he
wished 70 slit, and, with the air of IA man
who knows his profession and its import
ance, deity inserted the point Of his razor.
The blood spurted out IN tiny stream;
the villagers squatted down on their
launches and watched 1t bleed, occasion
ally working the elbow joint TO stimulate
the flow. Half a pint is considered about
the correct quantity for an adult TO lose
at one bleeding; the basber then com
pletes his services by binding on a small
wad OF cotton.
Many prefer being bled in the roof of
the mouth, instead of in the arm. / OBJ
served that these were old men mostly,
and judged them TO he knowing custom
ers, who had wise theories of their own as
to why the mouth bleeding was prefer
able to the others. | have seen as many
as thirty or forty Of the Persian BARRIERS
patients squatting in low row ON the
bank OF a stream or ditch, each one let
ting the little stream of blood from arm
or mouth squirt into the water. Thomas

Russian Fondness for Display.

There is no people on earth so fond Of
display as tie Russians. The imperial
family sets the example with the money
wrung from the poor, the princes and
mobiles follow, and of course the private
citizens must keep up the fashion. Their
hospitality is proverbial. 1t is their great
est pride Strangers are always enter
tanned in the most lavish manner, and
one who carries to Petersburg or Moscow
letters Of introduction from influential
people, is sure to be wined and dined as
long as he remains.
But behind all this ostentatious display
is practiced an economy which the people
try to conceal as If they were ashamed of
It. The private portions of the gorgeous
homes The living rooms, are usually plain
and comfortless, and the cost of dinner
party is sufficient To keep the family for
month or more, 1t is SO in all the royal
residences The show rooms are gcc-
geous but the living rooms do not keep up
the standard. They are plain and poor
enough to make fair average. The
ladies OF the ordinary household have
their party and dinner dresses from Paris,
but the garments in which they appear
when not on dress parade are made by
their own servants ut home-always plain
and often shabby. Eieroy Curtis,

The Poor Help the Poor.

There is true poverty, which no one
sees; a false and merely mimetic poverty,
which usurps its place and dress, and
lives, and above all drinks, on the fruits
of the usurpation. The true poverty does
not go into the streets; the banker may
rest assured he has never put penny in
its hands. The self respecting poor beg
from each other; never from the rich. To
live in the frock coated ranks of life, to
hear canting scenes Of gratitude rehearsed
for two pence, n man might suppose that
giving was thing gone out of fashion;
yet it goes forward on a scale SO great as
to fill me with surprise. In the houses OF
the working class, all day long there will
be foot upon the stair; all day long there
will he knocking at the doors; beggars
come, begears go, without stint, hardly
with interinission, from morning till
night; and meanwhile, i'll the same city
and but few streets off, the castles Of
the rich stand unsrmmoned,
Get the tale of any honest tramp, you
will find it was always the poor who
helped him; get the truth from any work
man who has met misfortuncs, it was al
ways next door that he would go for help,
or only with such exceptions as are said
to prove a rule; look at the course of the
mimetic beggar, it is through the poor
quarters that he trails his passage, show
| ing his bandages to every window pierre
ing even to the attics with his nasal song.
Here is a remarkable state Of things in
our Christian commonwealth, that the
poor only should be asked to giye.-Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson in Scribner's Maya
