COWS AT PASTURE.
II Pays to Feed Them Corn with the
Grass They Eat.

1t Pays to Feed Them Corn with the
Grass They Eat.
There is no question that in the ma.
jority of cases it pays to feed something
extra to cows that are at pasture, and If
the pasture is somewhat scant there
is no question but that it pays in every
case. But it is often question what
to feed. If we are so fortunate or rather
so provident as to have supply of some
crop sown for the purpose then we are
all right, but if'not then oftentimes we
are at a loss. And while If feed has to be
bought corn would seldom be the cheap
est feed, yet there is no better place to
feed mich COW corn than in the pas
ture field.
For corn Is one of the most car.
bonaceous feeds that is grown on the
farm, and to compound winter ration
with corn as basis and cornfodder as
q second Is task that cannot be done
with any degree of satisfaction unless a
liberal supply of linseed meal or some
other feed rich in protein is purchased.
But with pasture as basis the aspect
is completely changed. For while corn
and cornfodder has nutritive ratio
OF about one to fifteen, pasture grass
has a nutritive ratio Of one to five. 1t
can be easily seen then that liberal
feed Of corn may be given to cows ut
pasture, and still the ration will have
proper ratio. This is all l have to say
about it. If you have any corn in the
corn house soak it "a hours in water and
take 1t out to the cows and see what
they have to say few days later in
the milk pail.-National Stockman.

at the mill. Tell the sawyer what sized
silo you purpose to. build, and he will
bevel them so that they will exactly 1T.
The additional expense will be less than
that of attempting to stop up the
cracks with rags. We do not desire to
stop all shrinking and swelling.
When filed, we wish the silo to swell
some to aid in making tighter joints,
and then, when empty, we want 1t to
shrink so that moisture cannot collect
between the slaves and rot them out.
The coating of coaltar on the inside,
applied after the hoops are drawn up
tight, is entirely sufficient.
Hot tar is very penetrating and will
find its way into every crevice, thor
oughly excluding the air. Whether it
will last longer or be more effective
than when thinned with gasoline I
cannot state. There can now be pur
chased in the market tar paint ready
for application. In our experience
with this the man who was painting
the exterior was twice overcome by
the noxious gases, and was compelled
to leave the silo. Gas tar may be pur-
chased very cheaply, and when heated
slightly makes very efficient paint.
Trinidad asphalt may be purchased
for about three dollars barrel. This,
if used alone, is so brittle upon becom.
ing hard that il soon cracks and be.
comes worthless. Mixed in the proper
ton of nine parts Trinidad asphalt to
one part of gas tar, and heated, II
makes a valuable application for roofs
stable floors or silo. - Rural New

FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
A Variety of Hints which May Prov
of Use.


When perfumes are not disa greeabls
to a patient it is we'll to use them freely
In a sick room, as they are protection
against contagion. 1t is said that il
lavender water is sprayed through the
living rooms of houses situated in a
malarial locality, 1t will prevent the oc.
cupants from contracting the disease.
The back and arms of an old chair
that seem to be of no use will make an
excellent bed rest for an invalid. The
rest is made by cutting away the seat
and legs and padding the back and
arms with pieces of an old comfortable
and covering this with some delicate.
colored chintz or Saline, or, when the
rest is in use, one may fill the back and
sides with pillows.
| When hanging sash curtains in the
summer cottage windows and rods are
not at hand, take picture wire. 1t can
be fastened securely from brass-headed
nails, the curtains can be readily drawn
upon it, and it will not sag as piece OF
Irvine will.
Do not forget in packing away silver
for the summer to put few pieces OF
camphor in the box with it. This will
help to keep the silver from becoming
discolored, as it oftentimes will when
not in use.
Mothers in the country with children
will do well to visit the barn and Sc
cure box of oats to keep at hand. Wet
shoes, as soon as they are removed
from the feet, should be filled with
the oats and left until perfectly dry.
The oats absorb the moisture in the
leather and preserve the shape OF the
shoe.
A zinc bathtub may be polished very
satisfactorily with kerosene. Have the
tub perfectly dry before using the oil
Cover one small place at time with
the oil, rubbing it well with brush
and then a cloth. When all parts have
been cleaned, wash the tub with boil
ing water.
Figs that have become dried may be
freshened by laying them upon plate
and placing the plate in steamer until
the fruit is softened and full. Roll the
figs in confectioner's sugar and lei
them stand in warm room awhile.
Now that the berry season has come
around the convenient little article fol-
hulling strawberries will be doubly ap
preciated. With a cherry stoner ant
something for removing hulls or Der
ries, the housewife does not look upor
this preserving season with such dread
and stains upon dainty pink finger
nails are thing of the past
A piece of narrow webbing, such al
is used for holding furniture springs
In place, sewed upon the under edg'
of rugs, will prevent the corners from
curling; moreover, the rugs are not 81
likely to pull out at the ends wher
taken hold of too near the edges wher
they are beaten.
Crusts of bread are better than sof
cloth for rubbing photographs, engrav
Ings or paintings to remove soilet
marks and dust. The bread should b,
"a hours old.--N. Y. Sun.
