FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

IL your dairy has no pedigree, start
one at once.
The COW with a ruflled ternper will
yield poor milk.
ALL straw aHd no hay will turn
bright heifer into dull COW.
A GOOD way to choke valuable COW
is to feed her uncut vegetables.
A DIRTY strainer reflects as badly on
the mixer as on her who washes it.
Too MUCH carbonaceous food in the
dairy will make fat beef faster than
butter fat
A COW THAT begins to lose flesh be-
fore the winter is gone will be spring
poor by the month OF May.
DO NOT let the milk get cold before
il is carried from the milking stable to
the dairy house to be strained.
GIVE the animals plenty of room in
the stable IN which to lie down, if you
would make them comfortable.
SAwDUsr in the manure heap repre-
sents so much inert matter; land
plaster is an absorbent that is also 4
fertilizer
TO FEED economically, and yet suf-
ficieutly, give the cows only what they
Will eat up clean. Trying TO stuff them
beyond this limit will result in loss and
not gain.
Do NOT feed the hay down to the
bare boards in the NOW over the
stable for if you do the ingresS OF
cold air from this source win result in
a veritablo exposure to your dairy.

The Moral of the Tale.

In a little southern town, where the
least happening was of vital impor-
lance and lengthy conversation, a
worthless citizen entered store during
the proprietor's absence and distracted
his entire cash capital, done up in two
canvas shot pouches. The robbery was
soon detected, and the robber found.
He made a full confession, delivered up
the money, something over a hundred
dollars, and was dragged to the county
Jail, several miles away.
The incident however, furnished
conversation for the entire community,
and the daring robbery was discussed
on all sides The news came to cOun-
try house, and was retailed at length
to the family in the presence OF small
Ethiop, who acted as sub-butler and
chore-boy, After the capture and i'm
prisonment of the offender had been
related, the mistress, wishing to point
the moral to the miniature darkey, re-
marked:
"Well, that is what comes of steal

FOOD FOR THE DAIRY.
Why Farmers Cannot AFFORD to Feed Hay
to Cows.

Most Of the hay substitutes are sub
stitutes in furnishing the required
bulk rather than in furnishing an
equivalent in nutrition, and the prac
teal question is how to use them in
order to obtain increased dairy prod
ucts. The best feed is the one which
accomplishes most economically the oh.
ject in view, and the best use of feed
for dairy purposes is that which meets
the need of the animal Coarse fodder,
hay and hay substitutes are deficient in
the nutriments best calculated to pro.
duce large milk flow. To insure this,
these folders must be comb with
feeds richer in protein and fat to make
a well-balanced ration. There is such
an abundance of cornstalks and stover
produced on most of our farms that
there is no necessity for our giving
much attention to the less valuable
coarse products till these are better
utilized.
Of the crops ordinarily grown, the
corn plant will doubtless furnish the
larger part of the hay substitutes. 1t
would be of advantage If our farmers
got more into the way of growing 9TH
err crops for winter feeding, The
legumes Glover, peas, etc. deserve to
take more important place in dairy
foods. Not one of sixteen rations eX-
amined contained clover hay or hay or
ensilage of the legumes. Some of the
reasons why some OF the legumes are
especially valuable may be concisely
stated as follows:
Their large percentages of protein
compouuds-w serve to form blood,
MUSCLE bone and milk-and their con-
sequent feeding value, which exceeds
that of the grasses, corn fodder, corn
stover, or straws. They may be used
to supplement these folders in place of
the concentrated heterogeneous feeds,
such as bran, cottonseed, linseed and
gluten meals, etc. Hay from the To-
gumes is twice or more than twice as
rich in protein as that from grasses,
Their power of gathering large guam
titles of plant food from natural
sources Many, if not all of our cons
mon legumes acquire considerable
quantities of nitrogen from the air.
Their roots penetrate deeply into the
subsoil, and they thus obtain plant
food from depths beyond the reach OF
plants with smaller root development.
Their manurial value. When the
crop is fed, most of the nitrogen, phos'
phoric acid, potash and other fertiliz
ing ingredients go into excrement
liquid AMI solid, and if preserved make
a rich manure. The large amounts Of
plant food left behind in roots and
stubble after removal of the crop fur
nish cheap and valuable store Of
plant food for following crops, Farm
and Home.

Hard times and the people can't

verdict given by nine-tenths of our leg

that we spend heap more money out

than we are likely to realize. For eX-
ample, as a nation we drank 5000, 00O,-
900 glasses of whisky last year, for
which we paid the barkeeper about
$6O9, 600, 900, or $50, OOO,OOO more than
all the appropriations of congress for
government expenses. Besides this, we
drank last year nearly 50, 900, 900 bar

act IL, 7S5, 1863, 200 glasses, which repre-

Teutouc hilarity of over S617,OO0, 900,
which means an average of so for each
man, woman and child in the whole
population. Then we spent last year
nearly S254,OOO,OOO for cigars and
cheroots, and over S22, 900, 900 for cigar
cites. Of chewing and smoking tobac-
co we consumed about $50, 900, 900

United States spend annually for drink
and tobacco the almost incomprehensi-
BILE sum of 81, 641 1903, 400.
THE mind is incapable of grasping
the largeness of the total, but when it
is remembered that this is more than
the circulating medium of the United
States, that is, $27 per head more than
the per capita circulation; that proves
that the head of every family suppos-
ing he handles the purse strings, pays
out $l95 annually for drink and tobac-
co and that every dollar in the United
States goes each year over the bar or
the counter Of some tobacconist, some
idea of its magnitude can be obtained"
1t is of course, possible that there
exists some subtle and undiscovered
reason why the people should not take

reason may be, it certainly has no

A PALM READERS MISTAKE.
She Got Hold of the Wrong subject aud
Was Downed.


A new chromatic light was visiting
in Brooklyn the other day, and app
peared with her friend at small social
gathering. A Brooklyn girl of wit in
telligence and culture, and one who is
we'll known for her devotion to church
work, was introduced to the new palm
ist. 1T wasn't long before the palmist
was reading the hand of the Brooklyn
girl in the midst of an excited group of
guests.

mancer with pompous solemnity, has

girls. The palmist overheard, but gave
no sign.

horror of being blue stocking and
read few books. But you delight in
society. That is your real field. AS
for religion-well, you sometimes think
of il, that is all You don't really care
anything for it."
Then she scrutinized the hand of the
Brooklyn girl more closely.

base of your life line" she remarked

very near being fatal. AS for your dis
position, you are very good tempered. -
