Health OF the Cattle.

In relation to exercise, Mr.. John Dry
den. minister of agriculture for Ontario,
says:
IF the herd once established is to be
maintained and improved, attention
must be given to the care and feeding
of the animals. The first thing that
meets us is the subject of health. In
my Judgment the best health can only
be secured and continued by placing
the cattle in the most natural condi-
tions. do not mean to turn them into
a field regardless of there being found
in it sufficient food for their sustenance;
but mean placing them IN such condi-
tons as nature would provide, where
there is an abundance of food right at
hand. In countries where cattle can
Craze outside for a large portion Of the
year there is undoubtedly an advant-
age. believe that the pure atmosphere
of heaven is the best element in which
these animals can live; but in our
country the climate is such that we
must shelter them from the storm and
the severity of our winter weather. If
they must be confined, let the ventila-
ton be strictly attended to, and let it
be constantly remembered that your
animals need fresh air just as much as
you do yourself"

An Art Gallery Experiment..

An interesting experiment is now in
progress in South Kensington museum.
1t relates to showing pictures under ar
tificial light without changing the
color. Capt. Abney has so arranged it
that the most important actinic rays
OF light are excluded. 1t is on the prin-
ciple that while the rays which cause
the paintings to fade are excluded
the effect Of white light is OBJ
tanned. The method adopted is the
closing OF skylight with alter
nate layers of green, blue and yellow
glass. Visiting artists declare that
the pictures exhibited under this light
are seen in their true colors The pub
lie has not the least idea that there is
any difference between the lighting of
this and that of any other gallery. The
experiment is being tried in what is
known as the Raphael cartoon gallery.

sought to save woman from

Big Tom," as the convict was some

good nature. He went to prison weep

grieved. He thought of the years and
years which must drag away before
the prison doors would open to him,
and he moved about like a weak, old
man. The prison officials felt to pity
the man, but convict is q convict and
all must be treated alike-all who show
obedience to the rules. They sized him
up as a child-like and goodnatured
and yet they said to each other as they
talked of him:

Utilizing skimmilk and Buttermiik.
From Farmers Review Stenographic
Report.)

Report.)
At the convention in Lansing, the
following question was asked:
In what manner can the skimmilk
and buttermilk be used to obtain the
most profit?
Mr.. Gurler-I do not know as can
answer that question in satisfactory
manner. I would prefer to put them to
use on the farm, feeding them to calves
and pigs. These two foods are under
estimated by farmers in their value for
growing young stock. l think that in
our locality, the farmers do not give
them one-half the value they possess.
One great trouble has been that the
creameries do not pay enough attention
to the matter to see that the skimmilk
and buttermilk are kept sweet for use
on the farm. 1t is thus not returned
| to the farmer in the condition it should
be in. But that is point that can be
remedied. The creameryman can, with
| little trouble, take good care OF the
skimmilk. have demonstrated to my
own satisfaction that can get 20 cents
per hundred weight for skimmilk when
I can sell the live hogs for cents per
pound. The Vermont experiment sta
ton has done some good work by
| showing what can be done by feeding
skimmilk to calves.
Mr.. Brownie have had some expe-
rience in feeding skimmilk to pigs, and
we have changed our hogs from old
ones to the kind that will mature in
from six to seven months. In that way
We get rid of two or three filters OF
| pigs per year. Practically, buttermilk
and pigs is about all we're selling from
the farm now, except butter.
Mr.. Connell-There is difference in
location, which will determine whether
we should grow calves or pigs, for we
have to depend largely on the market

What will he do with the child?"
The two men working at the trip
hammer with Big Tom had fallen back.
He had control Of the machinery which
worked 1t. The answer to the ques-
ton could be read in his eyes. Men
had wronged him under cover Of the
law. He had been deprived Of liberty,
degraded and disgraced. Death were
more merciful than such a sentence as
his, and in dying he would secure re-
venge. A piece of iron had been left
under the hammer. There was heard
the sound of crash! crash! crash! as the
mass of iron rose and fell at regular
intervals-that sound above the mo-
notonous hum Of the machinery.
"Ie will thrust her under the ham,
mer!
So thought each guard and each con-
vict-so thought the father whose feet
seemed chained to the floor and whose
face was was whittier than the dead.
One OF the guards could have touched
a button and signalled the engineer to
shut off steam, but he did not move
a hand. Either guard had a fair mark
TO shoot at, but their pistols were not
lifted. Up and down-up and down
went the hammer. but suddenly the belt
was thrown over on the loose pully and
the mass rested on the anvil. 1t seemed
to those who looked as if they had been
looking through mist-such a mist
as rises from earth of summer morn
ing. 1t seemed to them that this mist
| thinned out-cleared away before the
influence of rising sun, and by and
by they saw the child nesting on Big
| Toms hairy breast, one hand smooth
ing his cheek. and seeming to come
from long distance off they heard her
childish voice saying:
mo, you wouldn't hurt Nellie-you
wouldn't hurt Nellie! What makes
you cry? Have you got little girl,
too? Won't they let you go home to
see your little girl?"
And the convicts advanced step by
| step-and the guards crept forward,
and lo Big Toms tears were falling as
he Rugged the child more tightly and
kissed her fair hair and rosy cheek.
There was silence yet-silence as he
walked to and fro and wept and Sob

child in its fathers arms, wiped the
tears from his eyes on the sleeve of his
striped jacket. and with God bless

sir!' he returned to his work and the
hammer was lifted and held in waiting
for the hot iron to be placed on the
anvil beneath. The guards motioned
for the other convicts to go back to
their benches and forges, and minute
later the visitors had gone and work
was in full blast. The long-expected
outbreak had come and gone. For
thirty seconds Big Tom had felt such
raging hate in his soul that he was
transformed into a human devil. The
child had smiled into his burning eyes
her soft touch had lulled him-her
words had brought back his reason
Was he punished? No! A year later
he was pardoned, and to-day another

rATTENiNe HOGS COSTS ONE CEN,


The editor recently heard of a farmer
fattening hogs at less than one cent a
pound. This was made possible through
the sowing of Salzer's King Barley,
yielding over 100 blu. per acre, Golden
Triumph Corn, yielding 200 bu. per
acre, and the feeding on Sand Vetch,
Teosinte, Hundredfold Peas, etc. Now
with such yields, the growing of hogs is
more profitable than a silver mine.

Draft Horse to the Front.

The revival of draft horse breeding
in the horse breeding states, after this
unprecedented decline in breeding for
three years, is simply the law of supply
and demand. The revival of business
and commercial industries calls for
more big draft horses, while the supply
of good horses is far short of the de-
mand, and must be until we can pro-
duce new supply and mature them fol-
the markets. Prices meanwhile must
advance and the weights increase to
1900 and 1000 pounds, while in 1892
1,G00 pound horse was a good draft
horse. Farmers have about concluded
that they will stick to the farm, and II
they farm draft horses are the most
substantial, reliable and profitable
branch of stock breeding.
The revival of draft and coach horse
breeding throughout the Western states
means greater prosperity. Already
these horses top the markets, and the
