satisfaction In Constantinopie.

Constantinople, April 26.-The tri-
umphant success of the Turkish arms
has caused the liveliest satisfaction
here. The following telegram from Ed
hem Pasha is posted everywhere:
"Larissa was occupied by the cavalry
of the imperial army The Hellenic
troops fed in disorder, abandoning a
large quantity of arms and ammuni-
ton"
This has been put up as a bulletin in
many places, while the people are also
reading Edhem Pasha's dispatch an
nouncing his possession Of a strategic
position in front of Tyrnavo, which runs
as follows:
"The hill Of LesdalSi, the most Inn
portant dominant point to the north OF
Larissa, was taken by the Ottoman
troops on Friday. Hamdi Pasha's di-
vision, having left Koskesi (Karya), ef-
fected a juncture with the other inn
perial troops at Millorin. The town of
Tyrnavo. which is situated two hours
from Larissa, was occupied by the Elias
soma army corps. The Ottoman troops
continue to advance toward the plain
of Larissa."
Osman Pasha has been given secret
instructions. A dispatch from Smyr-
ma says lndl the Ieullst WIN MSAt NoiA-

A Hole in the Hog Trough.

Somewhere, and at some time, we
either read or heard of farmer who pen
ned a lot of promising pigs to fatten for
market He made rich slop on the
kitchen stove and poured it literally into
the trough and all the spare milk went
into the same receptacle. But his pigs
became thinner as the days rolled by lie
increased the quantity and richness of the
slop. but the pigs would not take on either
flesh or fat After weeks of such liberal
feeding he became disguised and called in
a neighbor to obtain his opinion about
his mysterious case. This neighbor being
close observer soon discovered the secret
that yelled the apparently strange occur.
ance There was hole in the trough and
the food leaked out and was absorbed by
the pourous soil beneath and beyond
When this leak was stopped the pigs were
soon fattened, bur after a serious waste oil
food. Most of the poverty that attlicts the
farmer. if analysed, would be found to be
superinduced by leaks-by holes in his
hog trough.
There are few farmers who do not suffer
from leaks of one kind or another When
he feeds his stock too much or too little,
or issues to them food not suited to the
purpose, he may be said to have hole in
his hog trough though he may not suspect
i Buying costly implements and leaving
them exposed to the weather when not in
use is evidence of leak. Neglecting re-
pairs when they are needed is another
hole in the hog trough.

Milk from Thin Cows.

1t is a great mistake 10 allow a mich
COW to become very thin while she is Civ
ing milk. If she be a deep mixer, she
will never become fat. however highly fed.
All that the COW receives in feed in such
case above what is needed to keep her in
thrifty condit n, goes into milk and but
ter, and is worth in that form far more
than what it costs as feed 1t will be time
enough to restrcl feed when the COW be-
gins to fatten and the milk to dry off.
Probably, even then, some succulent feed,
in place Of part of the grain the COW re-
ceives, will check the tendency to tat en-
and hold the COW to her milk longer than
she otherwise would. The trouble with
COWS thin in flesh is that their milk will
have always less of butter fats than that
from COWS which are in good condition,
but not fat at farrowing time. An old far
mer once said that year when hay was
plenty and cheap, and corn or other grains
were scarce, was always followed by high
prices for butter the next season. Too
many farmers rely wholly on coarse feed
for their cows during the winter months.
Some grain in addition would be much
better. SO that the COW is not made too
fat to have her calf come safely and with
out csked udder, for herself the more fat
is put into her, the more she will put into
the milk pail next summer
The Somerset reporter., 1897-12-16
Winter Care of Breeding Cows

All the time the COW is bearing her
young she is determining by her own
condition what its future dairy capacity or
prepotency shall be. If she is well fed
with succulent food and is giving daily a
large quantity of milk she will ve-y prob
ably transmit this characteristic to all her
heifer calves when they grow to be cows
1t is thus doubtless that all our best breeds
for the dairy originated None came from
cold, inhospitabe climate or where sue
culent feed cannot be had. The use of
basement barns to winter cows in, and of
corn ensilage to feed them with. are essen.
tial points il the best dairy stock is to be
perpetuated in our Northern china es
SO the farmer, when giving the best and
suCcuent feed to his cows caring young.
may count not only on the extra amount
OF milk which they are thus able to give,
but equally, also on increasing the ability
of their progeny in milk and butter pro
duction For this reason also it is best
to hold the COW to her milk as long as we
can. 1t may not pay the trouble of milk
ing, but every pint or quart drawn from
the udder checks the tendency of the COW
TO fatten, and thus impress that charac-
ter on her progeny.
The Somerset reporter., 1897-12-16

The English farmer thinks himself well
compensated in feeding cattle, if he can
get the manure for his labor. II his cattle
fully pay for all they consume, he knows
that the increase OF his crops will figure
up satisfactory profit. The Englis h
feeder cost of food is much higher than
the American feeders. The former feeds
largely of the oil-cakes imported from this
county, which in turn greatly enrich the
manure ;but the American feeder fattens
mostly upon corn, which being composed
so largely of starch and other carbo-
hydrateS that produce fat does not enrich
the manure so much. The manure from
a ton of corn has only about one-haIf the
value of the manure from a ton of the best
clover hay. and little more than one
fourth of that from A ton of inseed or cot
ton seed meal.

The Next Years Wood Supply.

This is one of the best months in the
year to cut trees for the yearly fire supply
on farms where wood constitutes the
whole or part of the fuel. Possibly the
wood might dry out better if cut in August
while still in full leaf. But nobody wants
to do any chopping in the woods at that
hot season of year, with millions of mos
quitoes ready to eat him up. There is
much less sap in wood in December than
there is even in January. The wood cut
now can be split and worked up more
easily in December than it can be when
the trees are cut while in leaf. There is
also less sap to dry out than during the
late winter and early spring months, SO
that when the tree is cut for fire wood less
drying is required to prepare it for the
stove.

Where Does The Fat Come
From?

The COW with her milk producing is a
complicated problem. Perhaps it is not
strange that we have not gained more
definite knowledge in regard to her and
her work than we have. Rather is it not
open to criticism that so much has been
claimed by scientific men on so slight
evidence? Prof. Saxhlet's late expert
ments in Germany have turi ed a ray of
light on an heretofore unseen spot, Now
it seems that Prof Jordan at Geneva has
been at work on the same dark problem.
Selt citing good Jersey COW and putting
her in first class condition for business,
he fed her for sixty days with specially
prepared foods that contained but a small
proportion of fat. Everything she ate was
weighed and analysed. also all the excre-
ment, both liquid and solid, and the milk
produced. The figures show she gave
forty pounds more fat in her milk than she
consumed in her food and added Thirty
pounds to her wight. She also came out

still much to learn In regard to the food
