What Feed and How Much.

An experienced dairy woman comes
at the question of feeding the cow in
the following breezy way: 81 have one
fixed belief which nothing can alter,
and that is that so long as the food is
not too rich or concentrated a milking
cow should have all she can eat, ex-
cept for the three months previous to
calving. And even then it is quite pos
sible that 1 err in reducing the feed too
much, but am SO afraid of milk fever
that I prefer to err, if at all, on the
safe side. Take a lot of cows in pas
ture. Some are soon satisfied and lie
down, while others continue eating, as
though they could never get enough.
We don't go out to the pasture with a
scientific book in one hand and stop
those cows from eating and tell them
they have had enough-so much di-
gestible matter, so much starch and so
much fat, etc, and that if they are not
satisfied they ought to be, and have got
to quit Not at all. We recognize that
the cow is the best judge in the pasture.
and to great extent think she should
be the best judge in the stable, too, if
we are reasonably careful as to what
her ration is composed Of"

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

THERE is no advantage in having the
fruit trees grow tall
POTASH fertilizers are better than
manure for stone fruits.
THE Moore's early grape is one of the
very best of the early sorts.
THE best time to set out evergreens
is in the spring before they start to
grow.
THE pillow In an orchard will not hurt
if used frequently and commenced in
good season.
In majority of cases ali unnecessary
growth of wood is a waste of energy
with the tree.
ANY land that is rich enough to grow
a good crop of corn is rich enough to
grow good crop of grapes.
ONE reason why many fail to make
forest trees grow is that the changes in
the condition of growth are too much.
PLAN the garden so that as fast as
ready to take its place, and in this way
keep the ground occupied.
THERE are few better remedies for
black rot than good culture and the
cutting out and burning of all diseased
limbs as soon as they are discovered.
ONE of the very best places for dump
ing coal ashes is around the fruit trees;
they not only act as mulch, but they
help to keep away insect pests.
For garden. especially, heavy soil
may be greatly improved by the addi-
ton of sand Scatter evenly over the
ground and mix thoroughly with the
surface soil.-Green's Fruit Grower.

MISSED THEIR CHANCE.
Remorse of the Sorehead Republicans
Over Their ShortaIghtedness.

Remorse of the Sorehead Republicans
Over Their ShortaIghtedness.
A good part of the soreness of the re-
publicans over the present politico-
financial situation is no doubt due TO
the renorSeful consciousness that they
threw away in 1890 a great oppor-
tunity for leadership and party success
When Speaker Reed was moving
heaven and earth to hang up the free
coinage bill in committee, and keep IL
at all hazards from going to presi-
Dental veto, he was really booming his
party to defeat 1t is easy enough to
see now that if he and the party lead
ers had boldly thrown down the gaunt-
let to the free-silver men, had hailed
the chance of a strong veto and a de-
faint campaign on the issue OF honest
money, they would have driven the
hating democrats into alliance with the
silverities and into inevitable defeat
The republican party seemed almost
predestined for such a work as that;
and If the old clear moral sense had
not gone out of it, it is inconceivable
that it would not have seized the OPP
portunity of doing 1t. But the long
years of jobbing and bargaining over
the tariff and of seeking power through
shrewd intrigue had done their fatal
work, and so, instead of bold and reso-
lutte attitude in which would have been
safety and triumph, the best wisdom of
the party could agree upon nothing
better than that miserable dangling be-
tween the devil and the deep sea known
as the Sherman lawn. Y. Post

The young Annie Tree.

Cool soil, bare from cultivation or
mulching, is especially adapted to the
production of clean, growthy apple
trees. If the trees be trained with low
heads when young they will soon shade
the soil, keeping down weeds and grass,
give no chance for sun scald and facili-
tate the work of picking. 1t will be
much easier also to spray such trees for
insect and fungus pests. Windstorms
do not tear them up nor destroy the
bloom so badly. The objection that
low heads may favor growth of moss
and fungus is met by the fact that these
trees are more readily kept open than
heads high up.

PLANTS FOR BORDERS.
Some Valuable Hints from an Experienced
FIoriculturist.

Some Valuable Hints from an Experienced
FIoriculturist.
There are new varieties of border
plants introduced every year by florists
and seedsmen, and some of tn en- are
well worthy of trial. The variegat-
ed-leaved cOleus has become very popu-
lar for this purpose within the last few
years, but there is an old plant, recent
ly introduced for this purpose, that in
some localities has supplanted all other
border plants, and it is the white
leaved geranium, Nine. Salleroi. 1t
is one of the finest plants for the Dor
der that one can plant. The habits of
this geranium are different from any
other variety. 1t sends out innumera-
BILE little shoots from both root and
branch, forming itself into beautiful,
compact little bushes, making it very
desirable border plant They root
readily from cuttings, and besides sep
arating each branch they can be cut
into two-inch lengths, and planted in
the border, and every slip will grow
and form symmetrical clumps, the
whole border averaging about six
inches high with nothing visible but
the deep green, white-edged leaves.
They will stand hard wind, heavy rain
and extremes of temperature better
than the tender coleus, and retain their
foliage until late fall; then lift the
plants and crowd them into boxes with
little more soil than will adhere to
the roots, and store in the cellar until
spring, watering two or three times
during the winter, so the roots will not
dry out. A few of them ported make
very desirable window plants in win
ter, the foliage presenting more de-
sirable appearance on account of luxu-
rance than the scraggy stemmed speci-
mems one often sees displayed in win
dows, of the coarser varieties of the
geranium.
A beginner can start with one or two
small plants any time during the sum-
mer, keeping them in pots until the
following spring, when they can be di-
vided and planted in the border. max

little cost This variety never bios
