Feedinx Cattle.

In cattle raising much of the profit
depend upon the skill of the feeder and
the maturity OF the breed, two points
that were formerly never considered.
An exchange says: Feeding then con-
sisted in supplying the animal with
sufficient food to keep him alive and to
fatten him il necessary The quality
OF food was not generally considered,
nor was there much trouble taken to
find out whether it was suitable ra-
ton. The question Of early maturity
was never raised because unknown,
the common stock Of the country ma
turing late.
All this is now altered. The various
kinds of feed and the best methods Of
using them have become favorite sub
jects for discussion and disagreement,
while the experiment stations, with
their innumerable tables and formula
by which to construct a 'swell bal
-anced ration" add greatly to the gen
teral enlightenment and sometimes to
the general beWild for feeding

because the matter of price is one Of
the prime factors in the calculation
how to produce the greatest amount at
the least possible cost. This is Just
where the skill of the feeder comes in,
sand this is where experience counts.
He has learned the cheapest kind Of
feed in his locality and the proportions
lin which to mix them, and he knows
whether 1t is best to produce or pur-
chase them. He has also realized the
value Of variety in the feed

Bicycles In Japan.

An American wheelman who has
recently been in Japan, says: Heavy
iron bicycles, weighing from forty-fve
to sixty pounds, are used by few Of
the Japaneses in some of the larger
cities Of the empire and when the peo-
pie hear them coming in the distance
a general scattering takes place so as
to give the rider a wide berth, for he
frequently comes in forcible contact
with pedestrians, and sometimes col
lides with the houses, shaking the
flimsy. structures to their very foun-
dations. At Toxic became acquaint-
ed with a japanese bicyclist, who oc-
casionauy accompanied me on excur-
sions to places Of interest about the
city. Owing to the fact that the roads
are very narrow and without side
walks, he often had the misfortune to.
run down an imprudent spectator, and
both would roll in the mud. Then vic
tim and rider would get up, and each
would profusely apologize to the other
for the mishap. There is a Japanese
bicycle factory in operati in Yoke
hama, but as vet the vehicles turned
out are very cumbersome and very lit

I.iienthn1, the Flyer.

One Of the best-known and most
skillful fiers is a German named Lil-5
enthal, who, after years of study and
trial made, in the summer of 1891, a
pair of wings curved LIKE a great
birds. AS the result Of his studies
and experiments, he believes curved
surfaces better than fiat planes in
which he agrees with LIE Bris, Goupil
and Phillips, other students of the sub
ject. All these men believe that the
curved shape Of birds wings has
much to do with their flying helping
them to go against the wind--a
strange effect which the French have
named saspira on. =

Ezfenthal began to practise, Att first

he was able to sail as far as eighty
feet, he found that it was best to ar
range the wings so that they could be

instead of sprains which usually heal
in a few weeks
In 1892 he made larger wings, and
learned to sail further than before,
rising twenty or thirty feet from the
ground upon favoring wind. Since
then Lilienthal has attached to his
wings a powerful little engine, and he
is now making attempts to learn its
management. Just what he has done
is not known yet; but he has fewer ac-
cidents and improves as time goes on.

Stick to Good Horses.

All farmers will not completely aban-
don horse raising, but if there is to be
any profit in the business it will come
from the production Of horses with
good action and compact build. It is
worse than folly not to use the best
breeding stock. Choice animals, both
male and female, can be had at rea-
sonable figures. The offspring Of these
parents, carefully fed and properly
trained, will always be in demand.
Competent horsemen look for a grad
ual Improvement in prices, but larger
amounts will not be paid for inferior
stock. The animals must have merit,
and that kind can be raised almost as
cheaply as scrubs, after foundation
stock is secured.
