Barley as a Milk Producing Food.

In accordance with your request for
information concerning the value of
barley as milk producing food, permit
me to state that barley is the main cereal
crop In the Northern Europe countries,
and Is there considered a very valuable
feed both for fattening and for milk and
butter producing stock. 1t is not fed as
much to milk cows as to swine, since
wheat bran may generally be had at the
same, or less, cost and is often preferred
by dairymen, even when there is no diff
ference In the price of the two feeds.
When fed to milk cows, barley is pref
erably ground medium fine, or at any
rate crushed. 1t should be fed dry. In
stead of feeding it alone, a mixture Of
barley and oats, sown, harvested and
ground together, is often fed, the ratio
between the two cereals being as one to
two, or as two of barley to three of
oats, by Weight. This feed is considered
of greater value to milk cows than pure
DdIlCNi eiiSC TIC oilShti1 SOiehlPaliilk
tendency of barley is csunteracted by
feeding oats with 1t; oats fed alone will
be apt to produce looseness of the bowels
and by feeding mixture of both cere-
ais the digestion of the cows is there
fore kept In good order.
Barely has a beneficial effect on the
quality of both milk and butter, and like
all our more important grain foods may
be fed safely to the various classes OF
farm animals, whenever its price is such
as to allow 1t to be used to advantage as
stock food.
The prejudice which some farmers
have against 1t as stock food, as far as
appears from the evidence at hand
comes from unfamiliarity with its use
for this purpose. II fed ground and ir
moderate quantities, none but good re
suits will follow.

BOOK BINDINGS.

1t is related of a certain famous editor
that whenever he was handed copy to
read the first thing he did was to turR
to the last sheet and blue pencil out the
last sentence without ever reading II.
He did this because he said any one
could write an article, but 1t took gen
ius to know when to stop. Rarely was
he wrong-the article always read better
after his doctering.
Writers of books are afflicted in the
same way. Their closing sentences are
nine times out of ten as superhous and
awkward as the extra good-byes ladies
indulge in when trying to break away
from each other.
Taken at random from books which
have been published this season, one
finds remarkable array. In Gilbert
Parker's "When Valmond came TO Pom
tiac" the last sentence runs;
"Their figures against the setting sun
took on strange FURNISHED radiance,
SO that they seem as mystical pilgrims
journeying into a golden haze, which
shut them out from the view beyond the
hills as the hngelus sounded from the
tower of the ancient church."
George PASSIONS "a Study in Preju.
dices," which was favorably noticed,
ends for the husband and wife in this
CHASTITY wise;
"Cecily was soon sleeping like tired
child, and his own eyelids gradually
closed. How long he slept he never
knew, but he was awakened by strange
sense of chill and desolation which
seemed to strike him to the very heart
Rhoda was standing by his side, and
when she saw that his eyes were open
she gently unclasped Cecily's hands
from his-and folded them upon her
breast"
"Chiffon's Marriage" by Gyp, is not
marked by brilliancy of epigram for Its
ending:
sand with a warm embrace he muir.
INJURED tenderly, earessingly: For |
should be very much surprised II |
should ever deceive you, dearest
Mrs. Burnett's "a Lady of Quality"
ends with quotation of the inscription
on the heroine's tomb when she dies of
old age.
"Here sleeps by her husband the pur-
est and noblest lady God ever loved, yet
the high and gentle deeds of her chaste
life sleep net, but live and grow and will
do so as long as earth is earth"
Robert Barr's ending of "a Woman
lntervenes" is pat because 1t is a climax
not to be appreciated except on reading
the story:
because your treacherous friend
Whetworth sent me your letter apply
ing for a situation. You got the situa
ton, didn't you, John'"
Gertrude Anterior In her dashins
novel, "a Whirl Asunder," knows how
to make point valuable, Those who
have read the story know how dramatic
and effective is her last sentence:
"Helena turned and went back into
the forest"
Anthony Hopes book of short stories
Comedies of Courtship" ends multitu-
dinously, of course. The end OF the
principal story, "The Wheel Of Love,
cannot be given, because 1t has no bear

We farmers wives seldom think of
modifying our bills of fare for the Len
ten season, but we fully realize that
there is a gap between the hearty rich
winter fare and the dainty young vege-
tables and fruits of early summer.
Southerners call this season "pinch
time" and every housewife who aims
to place, three times day, tempting
variety of food upon her table, will agree
with me that the word is not misno-
mer. Would it not be we'll to turn our
attention to the possibilities of fish and
eggs as the basis of our meals during
this season for the sake of variety, If
nothing else2 If fresh fish are not to be
procured, the canned and dried may be
converted into savory dishes. Canned
salmon is good served with drawn but
ter gravy. Hard-boiled eggs sliced,
chopped parsley or lemon juice may be
added to this gravy by way of variety.
Salmon is also good in croquettes and
salads. Many dishes of which dried salt
Goldfish is the basis find favor In our fam
lily during the spling and summer. Cod
fish toast stands first upon the list. The
fish is shredded, freshened and fried to
light brown in butter. A cup or more
of rich sweet milk, salt and pepper to
taste, is added, and when hot pour over
crisp slices of toast. Try this for a
breakfast dish.-Cor in Elk.

That It is only step from the sublime
to the ridiculous is well illustrated by
the following amusing incident that hap
pened few Sabbsths ago In a well

small folks of the customs In certain
countries of claiming the prisoners

one came and released them they would

How are the mighty syndicates
fallen! The House popular loan
idea is more than indicated in
the amazing success of the semi
popular 100 million gold loan
wrested out of the hands of the
administration by popular in
dignation against secret deals.
Over FIVE times the amount adj
vertised for was bid, or SIS mil
lions, at a premium ranging
from par to nineteen. The aver
age premium is 1112. This shows
there is implicit confidence both
in this country and in Europe in
the ability and disposition OF this
country to pay its debts as well
as its bills in 100-cent dollars.
This is the fourth bond issue
since February, 1S94-all to re-
store the gold reserve drawn
down by deficit. The saving by
publicity as compared with the
rate at which the administration
sold to the secret syndicate, is
about six million dollars on a
100 million loan. Thus, the adj
ministration has repeatedly sac
rifced the taxpayers. The les
son is-"Take the people into
your confidence, Mr.. Cleveland. "
Mr.. Morgan of the syndicate,
gets large slice of the loan, but
at a price about 4percent. higher
than he would have got under
his bunco-game. No doubt had
Carlisle offered the bonds at a
stipulated price, he could have
sold them at 113 to lis.

The excuse that the Southern
whites have always offered for
suppressing the negro vote is
that it was necessary to pro-
mote good government. Let the
negroes vote, they said, and ig-
norant adventures would get
the Offices and condition would
be created intolerable to all re-
spectacle citizens. 1t is gener-
ally admitted that in no South
ern State has the suppression of
the colored vote been more
thorough and complete than in
South Carolina. The govern
ment there is essentially a white
mans government as it was be-
fore the negro was enfranchised.
Neither in the selection of state
officers or national officers does
the negro participate. Neverthe-
less we find at the head of the
