tible, help very much to digest coarse
fodder aud grain food. The grain should
be finely ground and given dry, with
good hay and sufficiency of the roots.
In this way old animals may be made
profitable when otherwise they would be
fed at loss.
The more watery the food is the softer
and tenderer the flesh will be, but the
meat will not be so valuable for use.
Some persons think that cut food. wetted
and mixed with the meal, makes the best
meat. It will no doubt make the most
weight, and when animals are to be sold
on loot it is the most profitable way of
feeding. But when an animal is fed for
home use dry food will be found to make
the most economical meat, as the shrink
age will be less. A COW or steer of 1000
pounds weight will consume daily during
the fatteuing twenty pounds Of hay,
thirty pounds of roots, and ten pounds OF
cornmeal. This ration may be decreased
as regards the hay and roots and the
meal increased as the appetite remains
vigorous. Just so much as will be eaten
clean may be safely given. II the hay is
cut, one-fourth less will be sufficient,
but the rule should be to give all the
grain food that will be eaten and fill W
with hay and roots and as little water as
may be needed, which will not be mucl
if half bushel of roots per day can be
eaten. -Nep York Times

FEEDING FOR FAT.

To fatten an old animal is difficult for
several reasons. The system, weakened
by age, calls for less vigorous appetite,
aud sufficient food for new growth is not
eaten; digestion is weak and assimilation
is imperfect, and thus the cost of the
food is out Of proportion to the increase
IN weight. 1t is always more profitable
to turn off mature animals while thew are
still vigorous. At ten years the limit of
prohtableness in COW is fully reached
II not passed, and it is time then to get
rid of her, while feeding is not thrown
away. Moreover, as the feeding for fat
is long process when the animal is
thin, 1T is better to begin the fatteuino
some months 10 advance. If it isa cow
the feeding should be begun while she is
milking aud kept up during the season.
then while the weather is still warm she
should be dried off and put on the final
feeding. This should be gradually in,
creased so long as the appetite is main
famed and a frequent change OF food
should be given. When any beeves are

BREEDING noRNLEss cows.

In the breeds of cattle which naturally
have horns, the process of dishorning
after one or two generations produces
progeny that are naturally mooleys.
The shape of the head is also changed
when dishorning is done at an early agel
and with it the character of the animal.
The more active and nervous the breed
the greater is the need of breeding it
into the moolcy, especially as this is
done without apparent injury to its
other and more valued characteristics. =

HE WILL USE HIS POWER
THE PRESIDENT ABOUT TO MAKE
NEW DEPARTURE.
Duties to Be Restored on Sugar, Coffee,
Teas and Molasses From All Countries
Except Those That Have Negotiated
Reciprocity Treaties - Far Reaching
Effect of the Proposed Embargo.

New YORK, Dec. 17.-President Har-
rison, according to Washington
special, has decided to exercise the
power vested in him in the reciprocity
clause of the Mckinley tariff bill to
issue a proclamation restoring the
duties on sugar, coffee, teas and molas-
ses from countries that have not ne
gotiated reciprocity treaties with our
government. The proclamation, says
the Washington dispatch, will take
effect on January l, 1892, and will be
issued in few days, certainly not later
than Christmas.
The effect of the proclamation will be
far-reaching. The only countries that
have concluded reciprocity treaties with
the United States, and will consequently
not be includedin the proc lamation, are
Brazil, Cuba, Porto Rico, San Domingo
and the British West Indies. The
treaty with Germany is not yet ratified
and reciprocity treaties are now pend
ing at the state department with Mex
leo, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Salvador,
Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Ecua-
dor, but until these treaties are ratified
into accomplished facts the president
will not take official cognizance of them.
As soon as each treaty is ratified, how
ever, the embargo will be removed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. LIT is impossi-
bic at this time to obtain an official ut
terance of any kind in regard to the
report that the president has decided to
issue proclamation restoring the du-
ties on sugar, molases, coffee, hides,
ETC., imported from countries that have
not negotiated reciprocity treaties with
the United States, under the provisions
of the Mckinley act. The government
officials dismiss all inquirers with the
simple statement that the report is alto
gether unauthorized. 1t is expected
that an official announcement will be
made in a few days.

Buying Coal.

Householders who may never have
acquired the habit of laying in winters
supply of coal in summer or fall, and
whose regrets for failing to do so are
heard with the regularity of the annual
advent of cold weather, may stop repin-
ing. 1t is true economy to buy little
coal at time. Coal men will tell you
that this fuel rapidly loses in quality.
The gases pass off by exposure OF some
thing of that kind, and with them the
heating power diminishes. There is one
thing, however, that is a necessity in
making the most of this kind of thrift.
The coal bought in small quantities
should be taken from fresh shipments.
There is no profit in buying coal that
may have lain for weeks in yard 1t
should come fresh from the cars in order
to get the best service out of it.-New
York Times.
