Alfalfa for Cows.


Alfalfa silage compares well in chem
ical composition with clover and sim
liar forms CT silage. It is said to usually
have a disagreeable odor and taste, al
though it is freely eaten by cattle. No
experiments in the use of alfalfa sill
age have been made at this station. The
green fodder has been in such continual
demand for feeding that not enough
has been available at any time to fill
a silo. Alfalfa, like clover, would re-
quire a most careful packing and a
greater depth of silo for best results
than is necessary for corn. Alfalfa hay
is an excellent fodder. 1t is palatable
and very nutritious. Experience and
good judgment are required, and
much time and care necessary to make
good hay. If handled too much when
dry all the leaves and small stems are
likely to fall OF, and If not thoroughly
cured it is likely to mould and mildew.
The hay will not shed water well, and
stacks when left long should be well
covered. Hay caps are often of great
service The hay suffers much deter
ioration in feeding value by exposure
to rain.-New York Experiment Sta

Care Of Poultry.

It seems to me there Is not much
new to be said about poultry raising,
especially II one has read the poultry
papers. one of which every farmer
ought to take. 1t is the oft-repeated
story. but If I tell it again perhaps
some one will be benefited by 1t. PoHl-
Try raising in this country has become
IN extensive business, and is growing
more in importance every year. He
Who raises the best fowls Of any good
breed. for market, for breeding, or for
exhibition purposes. will not only make
his mark as breeder, but will be look
ed upon by fanciers as one who dis
plays good judgment in fowl culture
We Americans generally look at evary-
thing from a financial standpoint.
Our first question is. will 1t pay"
That depends altogether on the man

with that idea, and q natural love for
poultry, We are sure Of success. The
poultry yard can be managed 80 that
1t may become one of the most remun-
erative portions Of the farm. With a

Fearful that the Anatomical So

dead, William Coville has arranged
for his burial When he had COM
pleted the arrangements he said he
did not have q care in the world.
The door of James Fullerton's Office
1t the Pittsburg morgue was pushed
open the other night and a heavy
cane was thrust in. 1t slipped across
the floor until a resting place was
found. Soon withered face and gray
head were seen. These were followed
by what was once the handsome form
Of man. Age, care, trouble and
drink had bent and withered 1t until,
last night, it looked like skeleton.
The door was softly closed and shut.
fling feet moved the old man slowly
across the floor. No one spoke,
though everybody knew him, until
Coville reached Mr.. Fullerton's desk.
Steadying himself on his stick, the
old man addressed the undertaken.
"How are you, Jim? I amt seen you
for a long time"
"Hello, Billy! What c n 1 do for
your"
There's lots YOU can do for me,
Jim, if you will. said the old man as
he rested himself against the desk.

my friend"
well, Billy, you can rest easy, if I
am living when you die will take

There's something else I want you
to do for me, Jim, said Billy, pulling
from his pocket faded photograph
of a young man. There is a picture
of my son. guess he does not care
much for the old man, but all the
same I like him still. Take this pict-
ure, Jim, and paste piece Of white
paper on the back. Now write my
name on it and say this is my son
and that he lives in the East end.
There, l will always carry it in my
pocket. When die they will bring
me to you. The boy can be notified,
and il he does not want to see his
father buried decently, then you see

The old man started toward the
door, and Mr.. Fullerton said: Billy,
we'll see you are laid away all right.
You shall have a nice, clean shave"
stop, Jim, said Coville. Il don't
care for a shave. All l want is S.
box. Make it plain, Jim. A 50 hole will
be good enough for me, and you can
haul me to the cemetery in an ex-
press wagon. This is exactly what l

The fat-rumped sheep" says Dr..
Anderson, resemble one another BY
having particularly the maies-a solid
mass Of fat formed upon the rump. d.
vided, as it were, into two hemispheres.
which take the form Of the hips, with
q little knob Of tail in the middle.
Some Of them have horns, but others
do not. Its covering Ia q mixture OF
hair and wool. Some of the breeds
weigh as much as 200 pounds. and the
mass Of fat formed on the rump va
ries from a tenth to fifth part OF tho
entire weight. In the neighborhood OF
Caucasus, the hind quarters are sailed
as hams and Gent in large quantities
to the northern part of Turkey. It has
been supposed by some writer's that
this breed may be the same AZ that
which was bred by the Patriarchs, in
the days of Abraham and Moses. The
sacred penman mentions that Moses
took the fat and the rump, and all the
fat which was upon the inwards, and
burned them upon the altar for burnt
Offering. This breed is found in its
purest state in the deserts OF Great
Tartary, no other variety being near
to contaminate its blood. It reaches
far into the interior and northern parts
of Russia, and is much disseminated In
China, Persia, Hindostan. Asia Minor
and Eastern Africa as well as Thibet.
In Palestine it is more numerous than
any other breed; indeed the largest
proportion Of the sheep Of Northern
Asia being Of this description. Profess
sor Pallas conjectures that this charac-
ter arises in the fat-rumped sheep from
their feeding upon the bitter and sa-
line plants found upon the borders Of
the Caspian and Black seas. And he
asserts that when they are removed
from the places where these plants
grow the fatty excrescence becomes
less. But Garfield says. as the fat
rumped and fat-tailed sheep are varie-
ties which are widely dispersed. 1t
seems more probable that they may
have been produced by accident, and
may also have been perpetuated by
accident, design or fancy. The fat
tailed sheep are very extensively dif-
fused; it is found throughout Asia and
a great part Of Africa, as well a.
through the northern parts Of Europe.
They differ. like other sheep. in the
nature of their covering. In Madagas-
car, and in some other hot climates.
they are covered with hair; at the Cape
Of Good Hope they are covered with
coarse wool; in the Levant their wool
is extremely fine. The proportion
which the weight of the tail in some
Of these sheep bears to the whole car
cass is quite remarkable. The usual
dressed weight Of the sheep is from
fifty to sixty pounds, of which the tail
is said to make more than one-fourth
part. Russell describes two breeds Of
fat-tailed sheep about Aleppo; in one
the deposit of caudal fat is moderate:
in the other sort the tail is much larg-
er. The unctuous fat of the tails Of
these sheep is accounted a great deli
cacy alike by the Beers and the Hotten-
tots of Southern Africa. The Hotten-
tots, in their primitive condition, pos
sessed immense fiocks and pursued the
PASTORAL arts with great success.

Feeding Oats.


Generally and with the larger pro-
portion of our crops we find it best to
haul up and feed out in the barn and
feed lots. In doing this so far as the
weather will admit we try to feed the
corn fodder and coarse folders in the
feed lots, feeding the hay and straw in
the barn. says N. J. Shepherd in Ne
braska Farmer. But it is often the
case that during the fall We will have
quite long spell of pleasant weather
and the stock will do fully better dur
ing the day running the pastures or
fields than in the close feed lots. We
ind In many cases that it is q good
plan to shelter at night, but to give a
full run during the day. In doing this
we find it some advantage to haul out
corn fodder and feed in the fields rather
than to haul everything to the barn
and feed out there and then be Obliged
to gather up the manure and haul out.
While there is hardly any question but
that there is some loss in feeding by
scattering feed upon the ground and
that the manure will not be scattered
as evenly as would ordinarily be done
when thrown from a wagon. But gen.
orally there is a considerable saving
in time and hauling, so much 50 that
it will more than overbalance the loss.
In doing this, however. care must be
taken not to continue the practice SO
leng that the stock are exposed to cold
or storms, or it Is good plan to feed
out in the fields when the ground is 80
soft that the stock will tramp It up.
But by avoiding extremes the labor
may be lessened and time is often an
item on the farm.

On q Peruvian Cli6.

Explorers have found a great many
mummieS in caves in cliffs among the
Peruvian mountains. How the lndi-
ans who entombed their dead in this
way reached the caves hundreds of
feet down the sides of steep cliffs, is a
ma tier of conjecture. A French trav-
eler, NJ. Weiner, narrates visit to
one of these sepulcherS, and the seri-
Gus danger he was in of ending his
travels then and there. Il went with
two Indians" he writes, ito a point
on a high plateau below which was
one of the caves, and had the Indians
lower me over the precipice with
leather ropes.
"A journey of a hundred metres
straight downward, made in such a
way, is extraordinarily long. l ar
rived at last at the tomb. 1t was

neared the - Of the precipice The
Indians had not looked over it, aud
had no suspicion of what I was bring
Ing in my arms. When the yellow
skull of their ancient ancestor ap-
peared above the edge Of the cliff, the
Indians were terribly frightened, and
let slip the ropes.
Il cannot describe my feelings in
the next second, the awful terror of
beginning to fall. In my fright let go
of the mummy, and it was dashed
into a thousand pieces at the bottom
of the abyss. But the Indians had
not lost their hold of the ropes; they
drew me up again, and in a moment
I stood in safety at the top of the
precipice.
my superstitious Indians explained
to me that when those good people,
the mummies, are distui bed by In
dams they seize them in a fatal EN-:
