FEEDING DAIRY COWS.

In answer to some questions about
feeding cobmeal and corn in the husk
to dairy cows Professor Henry writes
in Hoard's Dairyman:
Our correspondent is thinking about
question that should seriously inter-
est every dairyman who raises field
of corn for his cows. Let US see what
is actually praiiced and inquire wheth.
er the common custom is a reasonable
one. First the farmer laboriously husks
the ears from the stalks, carrying
them to the crib where the grain dries;
then the ears are shelled and the cobs
wasted; the shelled corn lie drawn to the
mill, and the miller gets about one.
eighth for grinding. Bringing the di-
mished load home, it is dealt out to
the cows in small lots from to time in
the feedbnx mixed with bran or other
Tightening grain food. The green stalks
have been bound into bundles and are
brought to the barn and finally thrt wn,
cut or uncut, in front of the COWS in
the manger. Thus allast the stalks
and fodder come together again after
a period of expensive separation.
Everybody knows that COW appre-
ci4tes most highly the ear of corn
which has never been husked. There
is the same freshness to such an ear
which has never besn hnsked that
there is about apples buried in the
earth in the old fashioned way, COM

TITLES In Norway.

To fully understand the democratic
spirit and simplicity Of the Norwegian
it may be of interest to know that the
storthing some years ago abolished as
incompatible with true democracy such
superfuous ornaments as his or her
majesty or his or her royal highness,
etc., in officially addressing or referring
to members Of the royal family. The
storthing. when rendering an address or
bill or any other communication to
the king, heads it simply, ''Til kongen"
(sTo the king"). As matter of course,
in speaking to the king or to any other
member of the royal family, "Your
majesty" or "Your royal highness''is
used. The press, with the exception Of
few ultra conservative papers, has fol-
lowed the example set by the storthing.
Such honorary titles for certain public
officials as ...His excellenoy" or "The
honorable" have also fallen out of use,
but many of the public officers retain
their official title after they step out of
off1ce-as. for example, one who has
once been member of the cabinet al
ways afterward retains the title "stats-
raad" Estate councilor). I may also add
that Norway has no recognized titled
nobility, as the storthing in 1891 abol-
ished that relic from the middle ages

A Summer Evening In Morocco.

From the little mosque of the village
arises the watchword of Islam, anc
with long sustained musical notes the
"mueddin" calls the faithful to prayer.
In the gathering gloom one sees the
Arabs congregating at the mosque, and
minute later the monotonous buzz OF
their prayers is heard.
Then for moment the sky is illu-
mined, and the strange afterglow, a
gauzy mist of golden film, enwraps the
whole scene. The plain becomes GRIM
son once again, and the heavens are
ablaze with shafts of light. Black and
gloomy against the glowing sky stands
the outline of the stone village and its
gardens The owl ceases her already
commenced boot, hoot, and silence
reigns.
1t is but for a few moments, and then
night falls SO swiftly, SO surely, that
it seems as though veil were drawn
over the scene. The cattle cease their
lowing and the focks and herds their
bleating, and in their place the watch
dogs bark. Where but minute ago the
tents were visible there is naught dis
tinguishable now but the glow of the
oampfres. The falling heavy dew brings
forth the pent up fragrance of the earth,
and the night air is heavy with the
scent of the orange blossom in the gar
dens near by.
For an hour the stars reign over the
world, the deep sapphire sky ablaze with
their myriad fires; then they in turn
fade before the moon as through the
steamy mist Of the plain she rises in
the east.
Then all the world is silver, and 81
lence reigns supreme except for the lit
tie owls in the olive trees.-Saturday

Authorizations of the Products Of Flour.
With the products of -four, such as

Bread is said to be adulterated with

adulterations are practiced to any extent
in the United States. In England and
on the continent number c6 cases are

tions were found and the offenders prose-
cuted.
Where coloring principles are de-

tion Of buns and noodles with chrome

nently to the notice of the Philadelphia
community several years ago. DR.. Hen
ry Lehman at that time found eight
grains of lead chromate in pound of a
sample of soup noodles, placed there to
give an imitation egg color, and two
grains Of the same poison in each Of the
tea buns tested by him. Seventy eight
cases of lead poisoning were reported

where DId the Ind,an Come From9


Though similarity in religious rites
and ceremonies, relics Of civilization,
and numerous traditions would seem to
indicate relationship with Asiatio peo-
Piles, still there are features in Indian
physiognomy and physiological struc-
ture. as we'll as mental and moral char
acteristics, that essentially distinguish
him from every other race.
The fact that in their physical char
acter, in color, form and features, the
aborigines throughout the whole con-
tinent present remarkable uniformity
seems to be sufficient evidence that
they had never intermingled with other
varieties of the human family. Some,
indeed, think the Indian but mixture
bf Polynesian, Mongolian and Cauca-
iian types, or possibly the grating Of
other races upon an original American
race. Bancroft, in his History of the
United States" volume q, expresses his
opinion on the origin of the Indian. He
discovers striking resemblance be-
tween the Mongolian Of Asia and the
native of North America, yet he says:
Nothing is SO indelible as speech.
Sounds that in ages Of unknown antiq-
uity were spoken among the natives of
Hindustan still live with unchanged
meaning in the language which we
daily utter. The winged word cleaves
its way through time, as well as
through space. If the Chinese came to
civilize and came SO recently, the shreds
Of their civilization would be still cling
ing to their works and their words"
So we conclude that if the aborigines
did really emigrate from the east and
il there ever existed any vital connec-
tion between them and the people Of
Asia, it was certainly in the far distant
past, into which neither the memory
tradition nor history Of man can pene.

pure grain when ground. Just why is
one Of the mysteries not yet explained.
but the fact stands.
I am greatly impressed with the
benefits of these short cut methods of
corn feeding in these days Of contin-
ued high priced farm labor, with low
ering prices on dairy products.
Put the shock corn through the feed
cutter, ears and all, and let the COWS
have their proper amount Of grain in
that way. Under this system, of coarse,
part of the corn must be snapped or re-
moved from the stalks, else too much
grain will be given. l donot think the
corn in this shape is quite as good as
that produced by the method proposed
by our correspondent-viz, running the
snapped corn through crusher.
Crushed snapped corn seems to me 10
present corn in an ideal manner for
dairy cows or fattening steers. The
crushed grains with cob seems very
palatable, and believe it is in form to
yield up as large proportion of nutri-
ment as is possible for the digestive
system to extract.
I urge upon our correspondent and
readers generally who are feeding cows
to study these short cut methods. It
can be done with profit and satisfac-
tion.

on broken arch of London bridge and
sketching the ruins of st. Paul's. It is
not generally known that Macaulay,
out of his wide reading, plagiarized the
idea both from Gibbon, the historian,
and from Horace Walpole. In 1774
Walpole wrote in letter to a friend
the following passage, which clinehes
the matter:
tThe next Augustan age will dawn
on the other side of the Atlantic. There
will perhaps be a Thucydides at Boston,
Xenophon at New York and in time
Virgil in Mexico, Newton in Peru.
At last some curious traveller from
Lima will visit England and give de-
scription of the ruins of St. Paul's."
The following year he returned to
the same speculations in another letter,
and in 1881 Gibbon published his

curious parallel passage apropos of saw

A Legend of the Peach:

The Japanese, who claim to have first
discovered or utilized the peach, have a
quaint legend as to the fruit. A pious
old couple, stricken with years and pov-
erty, subsisted by begging. One day on
the highway the old woman found the
beautiful ripe fruit. Although almost
famished, she did not selfshly eat the
luscious peach alone, but took it home
to divide with her husband. As the
knife cut into it the fruit opened, and
an infant sprang forth, who told the as
tonished beggars that he was the god
Shinto and had accidentally fallen
from the orchard of the Japanese heay-
en- while at play with some other gods
and goddesses. For extricating him
from the peach Shinto gave the Japs
its seed to plant and told them its prod
uct would make them wealthy. This is
the origin of the peach. according to
the JAMS and my Chicago friend, Blup-
person. who told me this story. Den
