MAKING BUTTER WITHOUT Hay.

The scarcity OF hay complicates the
feeding problem, especially for those
engaged in dairying, writes William
West, of Illinois. I have eighteen cat
tie and five horses. All the rough
feed I possessed last fall was straw
from ten acres of short oats. and ten
acres of shredded corn fodder. The
problem wns what to feed the cows 80
as to get an average of one pound OF
butter per day from each COW MIXED,
as I needed that amount to supply
customers. I began feeding corn fod.
der as would hay, adding liberal
ration of corn, bran and corn.and-cob
meal. This method, however, con-
sumed the fodder too rapidly, much Of
it being wasted, and the milk yield
was not satisfactory. then changed
my,method to the following, with much
better results: Six bushels of mixed
straw and fodder are slightly moist
ened with salt water. To this is added
one bushel of bran, one-half bushel OF
corn meal. six quarts of oil cake meal,
and the whole mixed with fork. This
is fed to nine COWS each morning, and
the same amount is given at night.
The ration gives better results than
any mixture of these feeds that I have
ever tried. Bran is worth $l1 per ton,
corn twenty-five cents per bushel-to
which five cents is added to pay for
grinding-and oil cake 500 per ton,
thus making the daily cost of the grain
ration for nine COWS about seventy.

of corn three times day. They are
in better condition than when given
all the hay they will eat. The cattle

MANURING FOR ROOTS.

Roots require large amount of
available nitrogen, but it is never ad-
visable to plow under large quantities
of stable manure where they are to be
grown. This makes the soil too dry
for the best growth, and it also fur
nishes most of the nitrogen in the hot
test weather when the roots need it
least. Turnips grow hollow and pithy
when manured with stable manure. 1t
is also likely to breed worms, which
will attack the roots and make them
worthless for marketing. Soluble
commercial manures that will stimu-
late early growth will pay. Later in
the season the soil, if fairly rich, will
develop enough fertility without man.

Tar EVOLUTION 0? BEATTY.

\ clever girl has transformed n
brown dress that was black and severe
into a pretty afternoon dress by using
little green velvet and lace. The
velvet WAS cut into a large pointed
collar and pointed cape. Two bands
were put on the sides of q lining some
six inches wide and band of inser'
tion stitched with lace and two pieces
of wide lace gathered under the capes
to fall over the velvet bands. The
whole thing is adjustable, and can be
worn with any other dress. Ofcourse,
the necessary thing to begin with is
good dress with fresh stiff sleeves.

A TENDENCY TOWARD BRIGHT coLoRs.

Everywhere in fashions domain the
tendency is still towards bright colors
and striking combinations, both in
dress and millinery. Red, fawn,
mahogany, green aud gold, for ex-
ample, are blended in one spring cos
tune. Vests and wnistcoats are very
gay this season, and bright soft-tex-
tured cloth is very frequently used in
their making inst -ad OF velvet or
brocade, and when covered with braid
ing, partly hidden by silk and bead
appliques, or banaed perpendicular|y
with spangled gimp, it proves most
effective.

FEEDING THE FIRST MILK TO A COW.

1t is taking wholly unnecessary
trouble to give the first milking Of a
newly calved COW to the COW. This
should be given to the calf, for which
nature intended it, not only as the
needed food, but as needed medicine
to clear the bowels of the accumulated
matter at the time. It is depriving the
calf of its proper nourishment and
throwing it away on the COW, who has
no use whatever for it. Any decently

The largest tunnel ever built-the
underwater section Of the Blackwell
tunnel, under the Thames-has just
been finished. It is twenty.seven feet
in diameter and one mile in length
and connects Poplar on the north side
of the river with Greenwich on the
south. Nearly 1000 feet of this tun-
mel had to be driven by compressed
air. The accuracy Of the survey and
the danger of the work may be i'm
agined from the statement of the en-.

Fifty years ago in the senate of the

was used by Daniel Webster:

No one ever accused Daniel Webster
of being less than patriot, and yet
those who now entertain the same views
which he expressed on the money ques-
ton are charged with espousins the
cause of anarchy and reputation.

Mr.. Hanna made a practice of taking
luncheon at the Lawyers club in the

Wall street financiers to go there, and
every day they have surrounded the

Fully $10,000,000 of Wall street money
has been pledged already. OF this large
amounts have already been paid to Cor
nelius n. Bliss, the treasurer of The

said recently that S20,O00.000 might be
necessary to elect Mckinley, and if
needed it would be forthcoming.
While a great deal of money which

the names OF individuals, many of these
subscriptions are authorized by cor
