Live Stock In the Fall.

October is pre-eminently the month
for forcing along all fattening stock.
The wastes Of the farm are fit for feed
ing out, and with good, sound grain they
should keep the animal with a good APP
petite and good digestion, and every
thing should tend to keep up a rapid
gain 1t is estimated that it usually
costs more to make one pound of growth
or fat in Il cold December than it does to
make two IN October, and unless under
some exceptional circumstances this es-
innate is probably nearly correct.

as possible Get the COWS and calves in.

The poultry yard should not be neg

were taught to go to the hennery nights,

may have done well out Of doors. Be-

beef scraps in the morning and whole
corn at night.
If the pullets can be separated, wheat
or barley might be substituted for the
corn with them, and part wheat bran
mixed with the morning mash, but if
they cannot be kept apart there is but
little danger in giving them the same
feed as the others. a growing pullet

Couldn't Confuse the Turtle.

A small boy in Maine who brought home
q mud turtle from pond a quarter of
mile away noticed that whenever set free
the turtle set off in Decline direction to-
ward the pond. The boy tried To confuse
the turtle in every way he could devise,
but the turtle was too smart for him and
always started off in the right direction as
if he knew where he was going aud was
bound to get there in the quickest time
possible. And now the boy has puzzled
the whole township by demanding to know
how that turtle knew in what direction his
ancestral pond lay.

In fattening cattle, as with other
stock it is important to secure the great
est possible gain in the shortest time
and at the least possible outlay. While
cattle are on good pasturage they can be
fattened very rapidly by giving a good
feed of corn. In nearly all cases in feed
ing corn to fatten this way it is best tc
commence with light ration and grad
ually increase until they are in full feed.
Moderate weather in the fall is the
best season to fatten all kinds of stock
One advantage at this time is that the
stock is usually in good, thrifty condi-
ton and can be fattened very readily.
The size of the ration that should be
supplied can be best determined by the
condition of the animals, and the time
to commence feeding must be determined
by the condition of the animals and the
time at which they are to be marketed.
With cattle under present conditions
one item is very important, and that is
to fatten well. The quality and condi-
ton are important factors in determin-
ing the price, and in nearly all cases 1t
will pay to feed literally until the cattle
are well fattened before marketing.
Especially when prices are low consid-
cradle loss is often occasioned by sending
to market little too soon, before the
cattle are fully ready, and often the diff
ference in the quality makes so much
difference in the price as to shut out the
profits. AS the supply of grass in the
pastures fails. good hay or corn fodder
must be supplied to take its place, and
the necessity for better variety be-
comes greater. While in fattening cat
tie, as well as hogs, it is quite an item
to make corn the principal ration yet it
is an exceptional case when corn alone
will make the most economical ration.
One of the principles of feeding that is
thoroughly settled is that no one material
fully supplies all the elements of nutri-
ton in the right proportions to give the
best gain at lowest cost. OF course the
greater part of the feed should be grown
! upon the farm, yet in many cases 1t will
4 pay to buy bran, middling and oilmeal
to feed in connection with the corn.
As long as good feed can be secured in
. the pastures it is of course best to allow
the cattle to run out, because they will
keep healthier, but they should be kept
as quiet AS possible Fattening animal;
need but little exercise. Give then
plenty of water, feed regularly all that
they will eat up clean, and if intended
for early market push the fattening al
much as possible and then market al
soon as they are fully ready.-St. Loui
Republic.

HORSE HINTS.


Observations Here and There That Are
Worth Noting.
The horses that have worn collars this
year made to order for them have not
had sore necks or breasts. II is cruel to
make a horse work in hard i'll fitting
collar. How do you like a shoe that
causes blisters, corns and bunions on
your feet? Air slaked lime is good for
gals.
To prevent a sore back on your saddle
horse, loosen the girths and leave the
saddle in place until the horse cools, or
about half hour
When your horse is heated from riding
or driving, do not let him stand in a
draft, and if very warn, rub him brisk
ly all over with coarse towel or wisp
of straw and cover him with light
blanket, which will absorb the perspira-
ton and prevent q chilling of the sur
face.
A small pasture for the work horses
where they can rest at night will be a
godsend.
Low managers are best for horses.
Be particular about the ventilation in
the stable. Keep the air pure without
drafts and keep it scrupulously clean.
1t does not seem possible that man
with common sense would compel
horse to stand in a stable cleaned only
once week, but such cases are too fire.
quent.
Colts are usually not weaned until
months old, although some prefer to
wean them at months. They should
be taught to eat oats and sweet hay or
grass while quite young, and a combina-
ton of food is excellent.
The formation of ringbone on the foot
of young colt can be stopped by firing
or by blistering. If the animal be a val
liable one, he should not be experimental
on without the presence or direction of
a veterinarian.
There is a great loss going on among
unthinlling and unobserving farmers in
trying to make horses fill places for
which they are not suited by breeding
or disposition. Every horse does not
have the patient disposition tosdo the
work of the farm. Some naturally move
so quickly that they fret under the re-
straint of the plow or a slow mate. 1t
puts no money in the owners pocket to
work such horse on the farm. Give
him work according to his qualifications.
Use or sell him for roadster, and let
the plodding heavy fellow draw the
plow.-Farm Journal.

IF them are worth quoting, for instance;
"Treasures that are laid up in garner

"A thousand pieces of gold are not as
precious as one day of study"
Though thou vert born in the poor
mans hovel, if thou hast wisdom thou shalt
be like the lotus flower growing out of the

"When a basty word hath once been

misfortune. 1t is as it were, the echo an

And so on through two volumes Do the
western nations furnish better samples of
wisdom than these?
The japanese are making rapid strides
in education They have an imperial uni
versity in which are taught law, literature,
science, engineering, med cine and agricul-
ture, the professors being Japanese, Ger
mans, Americans and English. They have
normal schools for boys and girls, CONNER
cial schools, military and naval academies,
a musical academy, a fine art school, a deaf
and dumb school, and many other institu-
tions the leading idea of which is to as
simulate the national ways of thinking to
those of European countries. Compare
the Japanese young men you may see in
the United States with those who began
their studies even so recently as 1860, and
the two seem to belong to different worlds.
Their strides have been equally rapid in
other fields of development, and in some
respects they can discount their western
neighbors. The total mileage of rail ways,
the first of which was begun in 1870, is now
upward of LOO miles, and the profits have
steadily increased year by year. The fares
are extremely low. The principal cities
and towns are connected by telegraph, and
the principal islands with the mainland by
cables. The rate for 10 word message &c
any part of the empire is about 10 cents

 CAST ALL YOUR CARES ON GOD.
 A man got mp in New York prayer meeting and said: God is my partner I did business without him for 90 years and failed every two or three years. l have been doing business with him for 90 years and have not failed once" Oh, take the supernatural into all your af- fairs! 1 had such an evidence of the goodness Of God in temporal things when entered active life I must testify Called to preach at lovely Belleville, in New Jersey, I entered upon my work But there stood tine empty parsonage, and not a cent had I with which to furnish it. After preaching three or four weeks the officers of my church asked me if did not want to take two or three weeks vacation. I said Yes" for I had preached about all knew, but feared they must be getting tired of me.
 When 1 returned to the village after the brief vacation, they handed me the key of the parsonage and asked me if I did not wan5 to go and look at it. Not suspecting anything had happened, I put the key into the parsonage door and opened it, and there was the hall con- pletely furnished with carpet and pie lures and h track, and I turned into the parlors, and they were furnished, the softest sofas l ever sat on, and into the study and found it furnished with book cases, and went to the bedrooms, and they were furnished, and into the pantry, and that was furnished with every culinary article, and the spiceboxes were filled, and a flour barrel stood there ready to be opened, and 1 went down into the dining room, and the table was set and beautifully furnished, and into the kitchen, and the stove was fall of fuel, and match lay on the top of the stove, and all 1 had to do in starting housekeeping was to strike the match. God inspired the whole thing, and if ever doubt his goodness, all up and down the world, call me an ingrate. 1 testify that have been in many tight places. and God always got me out, and he will get you out of the tight places.
 But the most of this audience will never reach the eighties, or the seventies, or the sixties, or the fifties, or the forties. He who passes into the forties has gone far beyond the average of human life. Amid the uncertainties take God through Jesus Christ as your present and eternal safety.

4 Modern Gallant.

A fine illustration of courtly Spanish grace and chivalry was witnessed in Glasgow on the occasion of Senor Sara sate's concert there. When the cab con taining Senor Sarasate, Mme. Bertha Marx and Mir. Otto Goldschmidt drove up to the entrance to the concert hall, it stopped about yard and half from the curbstone. The famous violinist jumped out, and taking his music books laid them on the top of the snow and ice so that his fair partner might get dry shod into the hall. The onlookers were lost in admiration of the courteous act, which recalls the well known story of Sir Wal ter Raleigh and his mantle. .--London Tit Hts.
