Economical Feeding.

There is no question but that all
2 things considered, the most economi-
cal feeding of all kinds of roughness
is to run through good cutting box
Not only will there be less waste in
M beling, but better opportunity
;, ,.forded of making up ration.
With all kinds of roughDess fed whole
there is more or less waste. Stock
will persist in picking it over and eat
ing what they consider the best, while
more or less OF the rest will be wasted.
They can be starved to eating it all,
but this can be badly considered \
good plan. In very many cases it is
the waste in feeding that cuts into the
profit, and it is quite an item to avoid
this as much as possible, and this is
the advantage in cutting food. With
horse power and cutter the work
can be done at low cost and con-

another item in addition to this is
that whatever material is used for
bedding can also be used in better
condition than if used whole, and
where responsible care is taken to
make, save and apply all of the man
ure possible this'is quite an item.
Fodder, hay and straw can all be cut
ITO a good advantage, and then be eth
er fed seperate or combined with
other materials, as may be considered
best. When bran or oil meal is used
this cutting of the feed in this way
will be of special advantage, as
they can be combined with the cut
feed, and will produce much better
results than if both are. feed seperate.
With many there is too much of an
inclination to waste roughness
because it is a cheap feed, and this in
many cases materially lessons the
profits.

A poultryman says that fresh coal

rid themselves of vermin. There will
be also a good deal of picking of bits
of coal cinders by hens. These perhaps
serve in place of graveli in aiding the
digestion OF food eaten.

The practice of decking churches with
the evergreen is very ancient, says Chat
terbox. On this account our pious fore
fathers gave it the name of "holy tree,"
of which our word holly is a corruption.
Duppa tells us "that branches of this
tree were sent by the Romans to their
friends with their New Years gifts as
emblematical of good wishes, and the
custom is said to be nearly as old as the
building of Rome ITSELF" The holly
sometimes attains the height of forty
feet, and when of this large size the wood
is very valuable and is much used by
cabinet makers. 1t is white, hard, close
grained and takes very fine polish.
When stained black it is an excellent
imitation of ebony. The long and
straight tough branches are often used
for whip handles and walking sticks.
The leaves of the holly near the ground
are frequently much more prickly than
those toward the top of the tree. This
circumstance forms the subject of a
poem by Southey, in which he says that
though in youth buffetings with the
world may call forth harshness, yet
aman ought to pray that unkind feel
iIigs may daily wear away
trill the smooth temper Of his age shall be
Like the high leaves upon the holly tree.

was the spontaneous ovation of the Ger
