DISCUSSION OF THE RATIoNs.
The rations given in the preceding have all been fed or ar being
I'd by Wisconsin farmers, and their influence on the herds a TO
.ied of milk or butter is given in most cases. The average yield OF
milk per year for these herds is 5,So6 lbs. per cow, and of butter zoI
lbs. per COW. This is a remarkably good showing, and bears evidence
that Wisconsin danymen III aiming toward a high standard of excel
lence; and that some have already reached that goal When we
remember that the average yield of butter per cow for this State is usually
placed at Ia5 lbs. per year, the above average becomes still more cred
table.
IN CONCLUSION.
We ar constantly receiving letters from farmers asking for advice
in regard to the proper kinds of feeds for mich cows, and how to com
bine them % a to obtain frstclass results. It is hoped this bulletin
will assist those seeking information on these points.
The following daily ration may be considered a standard American
ration for mich cows, in full flow of milk, weighing about 1000 lbs.
Being founded on practical American feeding experience, its adoption
is recommended Is a basis for calculation of ratons for mich cows
under our conditions, in preference to VOLTS standard ration, now gen.
used.

Dickens as a Dancer.

My father insisted that my sister Ka-
tie and should teach the polka step to
him and Mr.. Leech. My father was as
much in earnest about learning to take
that wonderful step correctly as though
there were nothing of greater impor-
lance in the world. Often he would prac-
tice gravely in a corner, without either
partner or music, and remember one
cold winters night his awakening with
the fear that he had forgotten the step so
strong upon him that, jumping out Of
bed, by the scant illumination of the old
fashioned rushlight and to his own whis-
Ting he diligently rehearsed its Zone,
two, one, two" until he was once more
secure in his knowledge.
No one can imagine our excitement
and nervousness when the evening came
ON which we were to dance with our
pupils. Katie was to have Mr.. Leech,
who was over six feet tall, for her partner,
while my father was to be mine. My
heart beat so fast that could scarcely
breathe, was so fearful for the success
of our exhibition. But my fears were
groundless, and we were greeted at the
finish of our dance with hearty applause,
which was more than compensation for
the work which had been expended upon
its learning. Mamie Dickens in Ladies'
Home Journal.

Cruel Indifference,

"The other day woman who spends
thousands of dollars year on dress sent
for me and gave me an old garment to
make over for house wear, says dress
maker. "There were trimmings and
Innings to buy, but she gave me no
money. Of course it was taken for
granted that would furnish those. That
was all right. When the work was done
the bill amounted to $11.30, and had
less than 81 in cash. wrote an apollo
getic little note to my customer when
sent the dress home, asking for the
amount of the bill-if convenient. My
messenger returned empty handed. He
waited in the hallway of the rich wom-
ans house for half an hour, and receiv-
ing no answer to my note ventured to
speak to one of the servants about it.
The servant kindly said that she would
inquire about it. Soon she returned
with the message that Mrs. - said
that she had no time to bother with petty
bills then. In consequence my little
family had very skinny Sundsy din

The Welfare of Children.

There is a distinct advance in iptelli-
gent grownup interest in child life.
Mr.. Howells, Miss Larcom and Edward
Everett Hale have all given us interest
ing books embodying their own recollec-
lions of childhood. Mrs. De Land is
writing charming novel whose main
interest is in problems of childish psy-
chology, and Mrs. Burnett promises a
similar volume. During the recent
meeting of the Association of College
Alunine it was evident that one of the
most interesting branches of work taken
up by college bred women is systematic
and scientific study of the development
-physiologic, psychologist and ethical
of very young children. This recogni-
ton of the interesting points of the
young human animal is significant. 1t

child, but better times for his elders

himself round, the flying rebel saw a
single horseman, far in lead, charging
down on him; and the great stride of the
horse warned him that his own under,
fed beast must lose in that overmatch.
More carefully than before he braced
himself by his knees, taking steady aim
at the on-rushing shadow behind, Just
as red fash cleaned out from it.
His turning had saved the scout, for he
felt the wind of the bullet whizzing by;
but he heard, too, that rasping, indie
scribable sound of lead crashing into
flesh! One lurch, and the black was on his
knees, rolling over so quickly as to pin
his riders leg beneath him. On sped
the pursuer, followed close by others;
and the reb-with teeth set from pain
and rage-rested his pistol on his bride
arm and waited to make his last shot

cease firing" rang out in clear com.
mand; and the trained troopers fell
into twos, as they rode up behind their
! officer.
Covered by Evans pistol, the latter
rode on alone to certain death, his own
revolver silent in his hand. For, with
his brutal fire of battle hot in his blood,
the scout steadied his aim, and pressed
his finger slowly on the trigger-when
suddenly he grew dizzy from pain, and
fell back helpless. The next instant the
pursuit was on him and he was covered
by the officers pistol.

His ruse had told. He had drawn of
pursuit from the girl; and even then hi:
trained ear caught the beat of Blazers
hoofs upon the hard road behind. She
had gained the trail and quarter of a
mile start! Now for himself; for the
foremost federal was within twenty
yards of his still unseen foe.
A flash of the heavy pistol, sound
betwixt groan and roar, and the
Yankees horse plunged forward to his
knees, rolling his rider in the snow. A
touch of the spur, a shake of the bit,
and Evans blackwell trained to that
kind of work-was dashing southwark
at half-speed. skimming tree-trunls
desperately close, but choosing safest
way wholly unguided, while urged ever
by spur and voice.
On came the pursuers, strung out
through the dim woods, handicapped by
heavier mounts and ignorance of the
way, yet gallantly pressing after the
flying enemy-not knowing if he were
one or dozen.
Now and again the carbines rang,
more than one chip of bark flying near
the scouts head, and one bullet whis-
thing close by his ear. But it was rae
ing aim, and the wood was darker rhnn
without; so Evan stuck to the shelte rs
long as he might, before striking Jdt
into the woods trail. He was gaining
on the federals, too; and fainter beat of
hoofs in front, and fainter still, told
him that Carolyn Clay was past pursuit
was safe at last!
Into the road he dashed: into the road
soon strung the pursuit; and with a
yell and touch of both spurs the scout
gave the black his head and raced for
freedom.
Then, straight ahead rang out dis
tant shot-a pistol, his trained ear told
Evan; and his heart grew as lead, for
he knew the federal had used the car
bine. The girl had met some check
was fighting her way through!
Clinching his teeth and bending far
over the neck of his foaming steed,
Fauntleroy drove both spurs cruelty
home, racing ahead needless of bullets
whistling by, every fiber of his brain
strained to listen. No more shots-no
sound of hoofs; only deaths stiffness
ahead. But from behind the thud of
hoofs drew nearer, spite of his increased
speed-nearer still! Then, wrenching

leaf was sharp and clear.

Hoof-muffied by damp sand of the lit
tie ascent, the stranger horsemen trot-
ted nearer still. Ghost-lilSe and silent
they moved into view, a solitary rider in
advance, the moony vapor rolling round
him
"Who seemed the phantom OF q giant in it."
On the troopers moved-two-two
more-two again, until the practised eye
of the scout counted twelve; taking in,
through night and mist, the outline of
cape, the differing seat, the precise gait
of federal cavalry.
If Evan Fauntleroy knew what fear
meant, he certainly had never obeyed
the divine injunction sufficiently to
know himself in that respect. In the
front of the charge, in long and lonely
scout, in still more trying test of lying
inactive for hours under heavy fire, the
boy had ever been utterly oblivious of
danger-had ever carried a jest upon
his lips. But now beads stood upon his
brow, spite of the piercing cold, and he
could hear his heart humping audibly
close under his chin. For never had

port, because of a bullet, faced him.
Now, a woman's safety and freedom

Gus tension could scarce refrain from
giving one red-hot "rebel yell" and
dashing out upon them.
Then the seeming endless agony was
over; the last riders had passed, disap-
peared, and were ascending the hill be-
yond the hidden watchers and not a
suspicion had that ostrich of e scout
commander that his prey had been so
near and-missed
. Then the southern woman-like all
her sisters, forgetful of danger, of self,
OF all save her loves labor-whispered:
"Thank God! we can make the Ferry
now"
And in answer, clear and shrill and
loud from the road beyond echoed the
neigh of horse; and ere Evans quick
hand could clinch his reared muzzle the
roam had answered full and strong.
No time to lose now One chance,
and only one!
"Quick! the woods road! Remember:

Quick! for yourself!-for little Fairfax
And in echo came from the road:
Halt! Right about Forward

Instantly the girl wheeled her horse,
trotting rapidly between trees for the
narrow road-the reversed scouting
party moving fast towards them,
guided by the neigh. Once she turned,
crying:
"Comel Evan, you promised!'
And the boy answered, cheerily:
go on! Faster-for Fairfax's sake!
I'm coming, "-adding through his
clinched teeth: when I've held them

Without even a glance he knew that
their carbines were unslung, and the
least sound would bring a volley to drop
him out of saddle. From the vantage

four dash by, straight for the little
trail for which the girl was making, too.
