Care of Dairy Cows in winter.


We know no better authority on
dairy matters than John Gould. He
writes in an eastern Journal as follows:
The drought this summer was wide
extended and, in fact, covered to
large degrees the great dairy sections of
tn country and as a sequence cut short
not only the feed for the COWS, de-
priving them of fresh after-feed, but
in a number of localities the farmers
are already feeding to some extent the
stores OF food laid by for the coming
winter. Not only has this had its ef-
feet on the supplies of butter and
cheese, but will be more seriously felt
in the winter to come. The stringency
in commercial and financial circles will
make in many cases enforced economy
at the farm, and it will seem almost
out Of the question in many quarters
to buy extra feeding stuffs for the cows.
This means two things: Shortened in
comes from the diaries and COWS going
through the winter "scrimped" for food.
which means again lessened
supply from these diaries in
the year to come. Here are
a few suggestions that will be an aid
in the matter: Better have cow starve
in a warm stable than to SILVER Off the
greater part of a deficient ration Early
in the fall fix UP the stables very tight
and comfortable Tar paper and old
boards will. with willing hands, do won
ders for cold stable. Bank it up high
and tight, so that no air can blow under
it. In some way floor it overhead, so
that all the heat cannot lose itself among
the rafters. Commence as soon as the
nights get chilly and cold rains set in,
to keep the cows in over night. Make
computation of the feed and feed as near
two full rations day as you may. Bet
ter feed twice than oftener and small
rations that never satisfy. For one win
ter do not try to warm the barnyard
with cows. See If a COW made comfort
able will die if she is in a warm barn
twenty-three hours and thirty minutes
day for the four winter months. Get
good wire brush and spring card and see
If good and occasional carding will not
be as good as a quart of meal. Feed all
the coarse stuffs in the managers so that
it will not get under foot and save it
all.

Winter Protection of vines.

The following extract from a bulletin
just issued by NJ. A. Thayer Of Wiscon-
sin gives valuable information for those
of our readers whose latitude is too
severe for exposed vines:
The best winter protection for black
berries, raspberries and grapes. consists
in laying them down and covering light
~ with soil All old canes and weak
new growths should be cut out and
burned soon after fruiting. leaving only
strong, vigorous plants. II these have
been we'll mulched in summer with green
clover, clean straw or caorse manure, as
they should be, less earth is required by
using this mulching. In laying plants
down the rows running north and
SOUTH, commence at the north end. re-
move the soil from the north side of the
Hill about four inches deep; gather the
branches in close form with-e. wide sEarlk.
raising it toward the top of the bush and
press gently 10 the north, at the same
time placing the foot firmly onfthe base
of the hill, and press hard toward the
north.
If the ground is hard or the bushes
old, a second man may use a potato
fork instead of the foot, inserting 1t
deeply close to the south side of the
hill and pressing over slowly, bending
the bush in the root until nearly flat on
the ground The bush is then held
down with a wide fork until properly
covered. The top of the succeeding hill
should rest near the base Of the preced-
ing one, thus making a continuous COW
ering. In the spring remove the earth
carefully with a fork and slowly raise
the bush. With hardy varieties and in
mild winters sufficient protection may be
had by laying down and covering the
tips only. Grapes being more flexible,
are laid down without removal Of earth
near the vine.

STANTON MAKESABLUNDE
THE U. s. OFFICER SALUTES THE
REBEL FLAG AT RIO JANEIRO
And Is Promptly Detached from Com
mand by the Secretary of State
Capt. Picking Placed in Command of
the American Ships There.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The navy
department learned late today by tele-
graph from Rear Admiral Stanton, in
command of the United States naval
forces at Rio de Janeiro, that this officer
had saluted the flag of Admiral Mello.
commanding the insurgent fleet. The
salute was unauthorized by any in
structions the admiral had received. 1t
was an unfriendly act toward a friendly
power and the secretary Of state issued
an order detaching Admiral Stanton
from command of his squadron and
turning it over to Capt. Picking, the
next officer in rank. This was in reply
to a telegram of inquiry.
Secretary Herbert early today saw the
Associated Press dispatch from Rio de
Janeiro saying that the American naval
commander had exchanged visits and
salutes with Admiral Mello Of the in
surgent fleet. He was loath to believe
that the statements were correct and
expressed his doubts to a reporter who
called upon him. If Admiral Stanton
had merely exchanged an ordinary un-
official visit on business matters with
Admiral Mello the secretary would not
have been surprised nor probably would
he have taken any further notice Of it
as it said at the navy department that
this would not be improper. But the
secretary saw at once the serious and
unfortunate nature of the action
taken by Admiral Stanton and how
it might be construed by the lawful
government of Brazil. He therefore
lost no time in promptly cabling to Rio
de Janeiro for all the facts in the case,
to which he received a prompt reply
with the result noted above. Naval
officials talked with on the subject are
puzzled over Admiral Stanton's action
and are at a loss to account for so
serious a detection from duty on his
part 1t is said that Capt. Picking
will remain in charge Of the fleet of
American ships in the harbor possibly
permanently, or at any rate until
successor to Rear Admiral Stanton is
appointed. Commodore Ramsey, chief
of the bureau of navigation, said this
afternoon that it had not yet been de-
termined who would be appointed to
succeed Stanton.
Information has been received at the
state department from Minister Thomp-
son at Rio Janeiro to the effect that the
rebels claim to have established pro-
visional government in the state of st.
Catarina with M. Lorano as president

RuIe. and Notes on Feeding.

Stock foods are composed of substances
usually arranged into six groups.
l. Feed animals as much as they can
digest without injuring their health.
The results Of experiments by the Mis-
souri, station are summed UP as follows:
A. Stimulate the digestive capacity of
your animals by a variety Of food, salt,
etc.
l. Water-The amount varies with
kinds Of food. 1t is of no economic i'm
pOrtance.
2 Feed a balanced ration" 1. e., one
in which the composition is in proper
ton to their needs.
5. Carbohydrates group includes
the starches, gums, sugars, etc. They
produce fat and heat
g. Food is required to maintain animal
heat; save food by providing warm but
ventilated shelter for your stock.
G. Fiber-This substance has about the
same composition as the carbohydrates,
but it is much less digestible; 1T is of
but little value.
2. Ash-This is the residue left after
burning away the cOmbustible portions.
1t supplies the mineral ingredients to
the animal body. A portion of the ash
has a manurial value.
T. Faiths substance produces animal
heat, or is stored up in the body as fat
for future use One pound of fat will
produce as much heat as two and one
half pounds of carbohydrates.
8. Protein-This is the nitrogenous por-
ton Of the food. 1t is used in the animal
economy to form muscle and all other
heterogeneous portions of the body; 1t also
aids in the formation of fat. 1t Is the
most valuable ingredient.

4 BAD LION LOOSE.
Wallace Kills n Horse and Injuries
His Keeper.

NEW YORK, Oct 26.-Wallace, a big
lion belonging to BOstock's Australian
circus, which was being removed from
barn at 129 Z. Eighteenth-st today, es-
capped from his cage and mangled and
killed a horse and badly injured his
owner, Frank Bostock. Two women and
two children, who were in the building,
were rescued with great difficulty by
being taken through the hay loft door
Of the structgxe. There was a scene Of
wild confusion and the other animals
in the building We're frantic with fear,
their yells adding additional terror TO
the scene After three hours stubborn
resistance the lion tanner and four as
sistants with the aid Of iron rods heated
TO a white heat, succeeded in getting the
lion Sultan into his cage and securely
confined. He was cowed, but not con-
quered, and on finding himself once
more in captivity and smarting from the
numerous burns he received during his
efforts at attack, he rOared and whined
in the most blood-curdling fashion. AS
soon as he let a roar the crowd outside
scampered in all directions. In fact It
did not require the service Of the police
to keep back the immense crowd.

of grain and seeds from the different
states and countries have been exchang-
ing their products for planting and SOW
ing. Great numbers of samples have
been carried away during the summer.
The wide scope of territory into which
these samples go makes the chances
good for a thorough Introduction of the
weevil.
A meeting of the executive commits
sioners from the different states has been
held and the giving away Of samples Of
grain has been ordered discontinued. An
examination of grain will be made by
an expert and the extent of the ravages
reported. In all probabilities the entire
grain exhibit will be burned on the
ground after the fair. Those who have
taken samples Of any kind of grain away
from the fair should use due diligence in
preventing the weevil from spreading or
destroy it at once. This is one thing
that the farmers in this country did not
anticipate when they welcomed their
neighbors from the other parts of the
world in friendly competition at Chicago.

THE DYNAMITE BLEW UP.
Accident In the Tent of a Camper
The Injured.

NEW WESTMINSTER, B. c., Oct
25.-A shocking accident occurred at
North Bend yesterday. Fire broke
out in the tent of a man camping a
short distance from the station and a
number of villagers were attracted to
the spot. Among them was Mrs Charles
Austin, wife Of the Canadian Pacific
yardmaster, and other ladies. A box of
dynamite decorators, the presence Of
which was unknown to the spectators
suddenly exploded, scattering the metal
shells with terrific force in every direc-
ton. Half dozen persons were struck.
The worst sufferer was Mrs. Austin
who received no less than eleven of the
shells in her head, arms and body
They pierced her clothing and pene-
trated the flesh, some of them to the
depth of an inch. She is in a dying
condition. The others injured will re-
cover.

Feeding wheat to Young Pigs.

In reply to an inquiry an English pa
per says: 1t would answer to buy pigs
and feed them on wheat if you have a
little barley meal and some wash to go
with the wheat for the first month.
am quite sure II would answer if you
bred the pigs and did not have to buy,
because 1 have proved this in some care
full experiments. Wheat is now the
cheapest food for making pork, and very
little other meal should be added. Last
summer 1 saw a farrow of nine pigs
made into small bacon on nothing but
wheat meal and a very little milk and
wash or swill. These pigs paid remark
ably well, but they were bred on the
farm. / have found that pigs come on
faster with wheaton meal than any other
food, and keep in perfect health. Neither
is this singular, seeing how much higher
returns in fat and flesh-forming quali-
ties wheat gives than any other meal
Pigs will do we'll on pure wheaton meal
after three months old, and this proved
last year. You would do well to feed the
animals on to bacon, as they would come
in in the winter when big pigs are in
season. When swine are dear the more
seldom one goes to market the better.

THE WHISKY WAR.
New Turn OF Affairs I'm the south
Carolina Case.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. 2I-The
whisky war assumed an entirely new
phase. Gibbs Whaley, the counsel for
the state. has filed a petition in the
United States court asking Judge Simon
ton to issue an order TO the receiver Of
the South Carolina railway forbi6ding
that road to receive any Intoxicating
liquors for transportation into the state
unless it has the official stamp of the
state dispensary on Il. The question is
an interesting one and involves an inter-
probation of the interstate commerce
laws. BY making the application the
state submits the question to the court
and admits its jurisdiction The constf-
tutionality Of the dispensary act will
therefore be directly a question.

Electricity on the Farm.

Mr.. Ferris, who designed the great
Ferris wheel at the worlds fair, has
this to say about the practical future of
electricity:
II am persuaded that modern life will
be absolutely revolutionized so far as
it's practical, everyday life is concerned,
within the coming ten years; and cleo
tricity largely will accomplish it. With
in few years every waterfall or avail
able bit Of water power will be chained
and converted into electric force. Along
the highways will run electric lines on
which you will find not only passenger
but express and freight trains. These
lines will ply between the principal
cities and towns of the country They
will gather up the products of the farm
and dump them at the freight offices Of
the great trunk lines. The electric car
will bring the farmer his mail, and, in
stead Of being the lonesome affair that
1t is nowadays, the farm of the future
will be IN clote touch with the town and
city. Electricity will run our street cars,
turn our machines, heat our homes and
buildings. do much of our chemical work;
by electricity we will cook, and for that
matter do everything that is now done
by steam and coal.

What seeds you kill with the cultivator
will save time hoeing. Beans and weeds
do not grow proftably together. No
crop pays better than beans for
cultivating and keeping the ground
