FEEDING DAIRY cows.
secret Of Success with Animals
lies In the Farmers Ingenuity
and Ability.

Successful dairy feeding does not de-
md wholly upon the kind Of food used
!, the relative amounts of each kind
I'D, but 1t depends largely upon how
!, Ia fed and when 1t is fed.
The successful feeder will study the
~an,s of his cows Just MS much us the
.uccessful caterer studies the tastes
~ his customers. He will try to give
,bem their food in as palatable "a con-
G,ion as possible, though not neces-
,srily in what may be termed fancy
,,yle, which would be impractical. He
ull also see to the comfort Of his ami
mails. This point we consider as being
directly in connection with feeding,
,or n cow which Is uncomfortable must
necessarily use more Of her feed for
bodily repair than she otherwise
would. No dairyman would ever think
ci using milk bucket which leaked,
vet there are many dairymen who.
during a single winter, lose milk by the
mound through the cracks of their
stable. Such conditions must neces-
sarily increase the expenses and hence
lower the profit. II is point which
we consider most directly connected
with the subject OF practical and sci.
entife dairy feeding.
Regularity in feeding is another i'm
por,ant factor. II cattle are fed at
certain times Of the day, and only at
those times as far as practical, they
will learn to expect it then and only
then. This will remove the uneasiness
often exhibited when persons enter
the stable or are working about them
at other times. 1t is also a saving on
their digestive organs.
No permanent rule can be laid down
by which to feed dairy cattle. No one
feed, no one way of feeding. or no one
amount of feed will suit all conditions
or all animals. The true secret of sue
cess in the business lies in the ability
and ingenuity of the dniryman him
self. He must I've capable Of deciding
what feeds he can use and how he can
use them to produce the greatest
amount Of his particular product
milk. etc.-of best quality and with
least expense. Unless he is in the
business for fun, his profits will be his
success, and so he must work for that
end.-Barnum's Midland Farmer.

M. DELCASSE'S MISSION.
1t Was to Dissuade Emperor Nicholas From
Abdicating the Throne of Rus
STA, 1t ia Said.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-M. De Blowitz, the
Paris correspondent of the Times,
gives an extraordinary explanation of
NJ. Delcasse's present mission. He as
serts that it was decided upon quite
suddenly for reason which admitted
of no delay" and then gives the story,
which he says he has from "a source
to which am bound to attach import
ance." This is the explanation:
Emperor Nicholas is disappointed
and tired of the throne. The absen ce
of an heir eXcites his superstitious
feelings, and he connects himself with
Russian legend according to which
an heirless car is to be succeeded by a
car Michael, predestined to occupy
| ConstantinOple.
THE death of the czarewitch and the
failure of the conference at The Hague
led him to decide to abdicate on the
occasion of his coming visit to Darms
stadt. On this becoming known il
Paris, NJ. Delcasse was sent in hot
haste to dissuade him from carrying
out this intention"

GLASGOW, Aug. 4-The cup chal-
lenger Shamrock sailed from Fairlie

Sir Thomas Lipton's steam yacht Erin.
As the two yachts proceeded down the

with spectators they were greeted
with enthusiastic cheers, intermingled
with singing "Rule Britannia"
The craft in the vicinity of Fairlie
displayed flags in honor of the depart
ing challenger.
The sound of the whistles and sirens
blowing in honor of the Shamrock was
deafening.
As already cabled, the Shamrock
will take a southerly course. Capt.
Hogarth expects to reach New York
within % days, and he does not in
tend to push the yacht to any extent.
FAIRLIE, Scotland, Aug. 4.-The

SELLING COATS MEAT.
Thousands of Them Slaughtered and
Placed on the Chicago Market and
Sold as Good Mutton.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5,-The Daily News
says: Thousands of goats are bought,
slaughtered and placed upon the mar
l1ets of Chicago and sold as mutton by
some packers at the stock yards. This
traffic is carried on most extensively
during the winter and early spring up
to and including the month of April.
The goats and kids are principally of
the Angora kind and come from the
northwest, while few are shipped in
from the south. The latter are of the
common goat species and do not find
as ready sale as the Angoras.
Besides being very palatable as a
food, the Angora goat and kid are used
for other purposes. The skins ct the
goats are used for making floor mats
and robes for babies, while the skin
of the kid is used for trimming fUrs.
DIR. w. S. Devoe, of the bureau of
animal industry, when asked Friday
in regard to goats being sold for NUT
ton, said: "They certainly are quite
free from disease, are fat and make eX'
cellent eating. Of course the very
common billy goat would have a
tendency to be strong and have baC
odor. There is no law to prevent then
being sold, and when we find them il
the packing houses they are inspected
the same as any other carcass"
The records at the yards show tha'
some weeks as high as 5000 goats have
been received.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Referring tt
the reports that goat meat is being SOLD
in some of the western cities as NUT
ton, DR.. Salmon. chief of the bureau
of animal industry, said Friday tina
the law provided only for the inspec
ton of cattle, sheep and hogs, and tina
nothing short of congressional actor
would remedy the defect. DR.. Salmon
said, however, that he did not antici
pate much danger from the use O
