WINTER DAIRYING,

The chief aim in winter dairying,
writes John Gould, of Ohio, in the
American Agriculturist, is to get all
the milk possible between the last of
October and the first of the following
June, and for that purpose the COWS
ca've rs nearly as may be in Septem-
Der and up to the first of November.
l have unusual opportunities for
selecting choice cows from the
"springer" droves that are conferred
here for shipment to New York and
Philadelphia, 50 if COW goes wrong
her place is supplied at once with q
promising COW selected from hun
dreds. The aim is to have the dairy
of somewhat uniform size, and all
must answer in full to the dairy form
and type,
When the COWS come into the dairy
they are given little grain with soil
ing crops, like sweet corn and mlllet,
or oats and peas, I begin to stable
the COWS early, by the tenth of Oc-
tober certainly, and if there is cold
and disagreeable weather, such as is
frequent Fright off from the lake, !"
they are kept in for two days, or I'M
til the weather is warm. A COW must
not be allowed to shrink in the fall,
from either lack of feed or chilling
rains. BY the tenth of November the
cows are practically in winter quarters.
About the twentieth the silos are
opened, and, as rule, from Thanks
giving Day the COWS are left in the
stalls until Easter Sunday, often
three or four weeks later, according
to the weather. The stable is light,
very dry, we'll ventilated, never
freezes, and the COWS are tied in pairs
with halters in half box stalls. and in
every way made as comfortable as
possible.
As soon as the habit of eating in
the fields can be changed to stable
life, the cows are put upon two feeds
day, all that they will eat up clean,
and the rest of the day or night is
given to food digestion and assimila-
ton. This is found by far the best
method. Milking is the first thing in
the morning, then feeding The food
for the COWS consists of twenty-five
pounds of good silage, two pounds of
wheat seconds" and usually a pound
of oat dust; if not the latter some
other grain to the amount, making
total of three pounds for each of the
best mixers, and little less to the
others. AS soon as the silage is eaten.
a lock of hay, two or three pounds for
each, is put into the managers, and
needed time given to eat it. About two
hours after the morning feed, the cows
are watered. The water is in their
managers, and the troughs are fitted
with covers, so that they cannot lift

CELERY CULTIVATION.

Celery planted in beds or rows will
need frequent cultivation. The cult
vator run between the rows and the
use of the pronged hoe between the
plants will be all the cultivation
needed. This work should be done
once O week Do not allow the ground
to crust over. When the weather is
hot and dry it will form thick, hard
crust, which will stop all growth.
Celery planted i'll beds will require
still greater care. The narrow steel
hoe or the narrow celery rake will do
rapid and first class work in the hands
of competent man. Celery requires
n large amount of moisture, and one
way to get it is by frequent cultiva-
ton; the next is by giving the beds
generous watering. When the plants
need water give an abundance. Water
in the cool of the evening. A hose
attached to barrel drawn by horse
will quickly put it on without much
loss of water. When the small beds
are to be watered, a watering can will
be all that is needed. In the editor
experience watering once q week is
enough.
The long, green celery-worm that
feeds on the leaves should be cut in
two with pair of clippers. In the
dry seasons they become very numer-
Gus, and will seriously iniure the
plants if not taken in time. The eel
cry should not be earthed up during
hot weather. Keep the soil loose and
the plants growing. The middle of
September is plenty early enough to
give the first earthing up. The self
blanching celery will need the earth
drawn ITO the plants about tue 10th
of September. This celery comes
into market in the early tall. 1t is
quite delicate, and is hard to keep af-
ter it is once blanched. Baltimore

JAPAN TO FIGHT.
VIII Pursue the War With China to
Conquest.

The special session of the Japanese Parlia-
ment was opened at Hiroshima by the
Emperor in person, who requested that
the military measures presented should
be disposed of without delay, and
regretted that, through the OBJ
stinacy of China, the peace OF the
East had been disturbed, adding "But, the
war having commenced, we cannot cease op-
erations until our object shall have been
gained"
In the bill the war expenses are estimated
at $3.50, OOO, 0O0 of which $26, 900, 600 is to be
taken from the Government reserve fund.
Another bill provides for raising further
internal loan of 500, 600, 600, payable in in
stallments, with interest not to exceed six
per cent.
Under this resolution work upon the ships
pushed to completion, the additional de-
lenses heretofore proposed shall be rapidly
constructed and the necessary supply of
arms and munitions of war be secured with
the least possible delay.
An address in reply to the speech from
the throne was presented ty the Presidents
of the two chambers of the Diet, thanking
the Mikado for advancing the standard of
Japan by personally assuming direction of
the war, the natural results of which have
been the japanese victories on land and sea.
The address concluded as follows: "Your
Majesty rightly considers China an enemy to
civilization, and we comply with the Imper-
ial desire to destroy the barbarous obstinacy
Of that race"

a man or two and had the reputation
of being the gamest man in the noun

got into difficulty with man from
an adjoining county, and when the

Cancers Oh HOuse.Flfes.

1t is supposed that house-fies are an
aid to public health, as they are really
scavengers upon wings and remove lit
tie by little much matter that might
otherwise breed disease. In view of
this fact, some people will regret that
a disease analogous to cancer has APP
peared among them which is depriv-
ing thousands of them of life. It is a
fungous growth beginning in the It's
sues of the insect, pushing through

THE BUSINESS REVIVAL.
Comptroller Eckels Calls Attention
to the Increased Bank Reserve.

Comptroller of the United States Currency
Eckels says the recent marked revival OF
business is by no means confined to the great
financial centres of the country.
''The last call for a statement from tho
National banks were made on October q"
said Mr.. Eckels. eft showed an increase 10

900 Of loans and discounts. We estimate
that, IN addition to this, there was
an increase OF 10000 900 in outside
financial centres, but seemed to come from
every section of the country. indicating
very general and healthy revival. Com
pared with the statement OF one year ago,
however. the Increase is phenomenal-more
than $50, 900, 900. All this indie atcs res
toration OF public confidence, and more lib

SnOEING HORSES.

The greatest care is necessary to SO
shoe the horse that the relative posi-
ton of the leg to the foot in the nor
NAL state should be maintained, says
an English veterinarian. The bearing
of the shoe should be level all around.
If heel or toe, the inside or the out
side of the foot, were too high or low,
the relationship of the limb or leg was
disturbed-in fact, the whole mechan-
ism of the limb was thrown out of
gear. Unequal pressure, however
slightly occasioned, would surely end
in serious damage to the limb, and
among the frequent results of such
treatment is permanent injury to the
coffin bone. Contraction of the heel,
he maintained, was not an active dis
ease, but passive condition due to
the horse easing his feet SO as to mini
mize the pain felt at his heels from
bad shoeing. He had little faith in
mechanical arrangements for widening
contracted heels. "Shoe the horse, "
he remarked, $50 that the bearing
surface is properly maintained at the
heel, and expansion will follow as q
natural consequence. New York
