"SNAP SHOTS" says loosely
off you will continue to speak the
truth courageously it will not be long
before you will make the hair stand
up straight on somebody's head.n
That's very good in theory, but
speaking the truth courageously
sometimes leads the speaker to lose
his hair altogether, and his scalp
with it.

TIE move to erect a $25 900 building

THE move to erect $25, 900 building
on the University grounds for the
Young Mems Christian Associa'
ton is something that should be en-
outraged. AS matter of course the
University should not in any sense be
denominational institution; but that
the shadow from such building as
this now proposed should reach the
steps of our great Texas educational
home would seem to be matter ofgood
cheer to the homes from which young
men and ladies are sent out to be
grounded in all that makes the foun-
dation of good and useful lives, as it
would also seem to be in perfect keep
ing with wholesome and rounded
perfection of the University itself.

They Assure = Sufficient supply Of Pure
Water for stock.
Having noticed several articles on the
subject of pure water for stock. and
knowing its importance, and also that
there are many localities where it is
impossible to bring the water from
springs or depend on the small supply
from wells, ! would recommend a we'll
constructed cistern or a number of els
terms connected together. Let us look
to the roofs of available buildings at the
first source of supplying water. Take
q roof say OF 42x5a feet. including pro-
jections, and we have 2.is4 square feet
OF surface. Allowing the annual rain
fall to be 3Sla inches. building of the
dimensions given would catch. in .
year. 52.i11 gallons, or 1868 barrels.
which had much better be utilized in
this way than to be allowed to drip
into manure piles, thus washing their
goodness away. A cistern large enough
to hold 1868 barrels would have to be
90 feet in diameter and % feet deep.
but as the rain does not all come at
once. and it is not all used at once. the
dimensions need not be quite SO large.

Keen Economical Gown.

The cow for economy is the one that
from quantity Of feed will produce
the most and best milk or butter This
cow will not be any larger than is nee
essary to do her work and she will not
store up lot of fat that will be of no
practical use to her owner. She will
eat much more feed than wasteful
cow, but here one point showing her
true economy comes in: while she eats
more feed she gives a. larger per cent.
in return than the wasteful cow. and if
we take herd of economical cows and
compare it with larger herd of waste
full ones we will only have to furnish
the food OF support for the smaller
herd while we get as much milk or but
ter as the larger herd gives. The diff
ference between keeping herd of
economical cows and a wasteful herd
may be the difference between profit
and loss: it certainly will be a differ
ence of a wide margin in the profits

In February, 1866. when Gen. Grant
was stationed in Washington. as com.
handing general of the army. the
French minister, who still occupied the
Corcoran house at the legation. issued
invitations for the most magnificent
ball which has probably ever been CIV
en- in Washington. NJ. Montholon. be-
ing q warn personal friend and admir-
er of Gen. Grant, issued orders to his
steward at the outset of the ball that
the general was to be treated as a
special guest of honor, and the best
wine that the cellars afforded placed at
his disposal. The next day the steward
approached the minister in great per-
plexity and inquired in an amazed way
who was this Gen Grant to whom he
was to give the best of everything and
who had shown himself SO far appreci.
alive of the honor accorded that he had
called for no less than sixteen bottles OF
champagne. nine bottles of brandy and
whisky ad libitnm. The explanation
which shortly transpired was that the
order having been overheard by party
of young fellows. they took advantage
of the stewards credulity, prefacing
every demand for the choicest liquors

AN EXCELLENT PLAN.
BENEFITS Incidental to Keeping vssiee
Of Live stuck.

Benefits Incidental to Keeping = Variety
Of Live stock.
One of the benefits derived from
Keeping IL variety of stock is that farm
products can be used to better advan-
tage. In growing the necessary grain
more or less straw and fodder will be
secured, which. if properly managed.
will make cheap food. and where a
system of rotation is carried on more
or less grass for both pasture and hay
will be grown.
With good shelter young cattle,
horses or mules can be kept in good
condition during the winter with very
little grain il they can have plenty Of
fodder, and during the summer grass
in the pasture can be made nearly or
quite their whole feed. While hogs
will make a fair growth with good pas
turage it is generally profitable to feed
them some grain even during the sum
mer. Cattle can be pastured during
the summer and fed largely upon fod-
der during the winter until they are
three years old, and if comfortably
sheltered will need but little grain.
With good pasturage they will be in q
fair marketable condition in the fall
when they are three years old.
Horses, mules and sheep can be kept
in the same way and can be made
ready for market with very little
grain. Hogs, however. must be fat
tened largely upon grain, and more or
less grain is needed by the work teams
and milk cows In raising grain for
them more hay and fodder than will be
needed will be secured, and by pur-
chasing mill feed to go with them all
can be used to q good advantage. This
plan admits OF having considerable
acreage seeded down to grass for
pastures and meadows and lessons the
labor considerably. BY feeding all Of
the products out on the farm. with the
exception of the wheat, and buying
more or less mill feed to use in connec-
ton with the grain and fodder will
make great saving, and applying all
Of the manure possible the fertility of
the soil can be kept up.
OF course everything that can be
used for feed should be saved and
every advantage be taken to secure all
Of the food possible. and then feed out
to the best advantage in order to realize
the largest profit Prairie Farmer
