The Caro- of rmebred Cattle.

1 feed my thoroughbred shorthorn
cattle the grain and forage that L pro-
duce on the farm. L grind my corn
in the car and mix it with oats. Nv
young animals are given this sort of
food for grain rations as soon as they
will learn to eat. I feed twice n day
in summer and winter, just the amount
that will be consumed nicely. All are
stabbed at night throughout the win
ter season. They are turned out in
the yards during the day whenever
the weather will admit Bad, stormy
days they are out only long enough to
drink and have the barn cleaned. Nv
yards are protected by a willow grove.
and there arc only a few days too bad
for the cattle to he out / have tanks
in each yard, that they may drink at
will.
For roughness, I give in the morn.
ing, as soon as they are turned out, a
light feed of corn fodder unhusked. I
have silo that holds about $50 tons Of
ensilage. At noon we draw load of
ensilagc and feed it in troughs made
something after the style of a feed box
such as is used to fatten steers. feed
this about the middle Of the day dur
ing cold weather. as it is the wnrmest
time and the feed freezes the least
Then at night everything goes into the
barn and has timothy and clover hay
in the hangers. ! feed no grain to
the older cattle in the barn excepting
an old COW or one that is sucked down
thin. / sometimes have them feed n
little meal in the barn The shocked
corn in connection with the ensilape
and hay will keep the cattle in fine
condition.
Ny barns are so arranged that after
the cattle oro turned out wo can 20
through with horse and little sled
made for the purpose, and clean out
all litter. I think this is perhaps
about as cheap and convenient a way

have remarked TO me that it must cost
a great deal to take care of these cat

man takes care Of 100 cattle. cleans

She was very pretty girl, and she

have displayed her knowledge on that
particular point quite so plainly as she
did. 1t happened in a Detroit street
car the other day. She climbed In

friend who was both older and palmer
than herself. 1t happened to be one OF
the oldfashioned cars, with long seats
running along the sides, and right OPP
pOslte the girls sat a handsome gentle
man, with big, wide-open gray eyes, at
whom the pretty damsel cast a sweet

and arranged herself so that he could
see just how pretty she was He did
rot smile. but he continued to stare.

were all right, but before long che be-

One would scarcely expect q business
man who is able to rent q high-priced
office to halt at giving a couple of PEN
MES for newspaper. Yet this is just
what any untold number OF reputable
business men do every morning of
their lives They enter the elevated
roads and devote half the trip into the
city furtively watching for a dropped
paper that they may get the news with
out cost. They know from long eX-
perlence that half the men who read
ON the trains finish the perusal OF the
morning sheet before they reach the
stopping station. This fact presents
the opportunity TO him who wants news
ana Is unwilling to pay for it, Yester-
DAY the writer entered south side ell
eVated train well down toward the
jackson park terminus with a Chron-
lcle in his hand. He took the smoker
and sat down to read. Being of an OBJ
servant turn, he soon became aware
that he was watched furtively by
portly. well-dressed man Just across
the car. He paid but little attention
until he saw the same man taking in
every other with a paper. Then the
writer took mental notes. Before the
train reached Indiana avenue Ave men
under espionage quietly folded up their
papers and put them in their pockets.
Inc portly man dropped them with a
sign and gave tho writer more atten-
tlon. 1t was poor morning for a
leliow hungering for news but too poor

er carelessly dropped his paper on the
seat beside him. 1t was in the same
seat occupied by the owner. so the

amusing. He twisted and turned, new
er permitting that paper to escape his
eye while keeping watch and ward for
any other which might be left without
guardian. But none fell to his lot
ana he watched hungrily. like a dog
shadowing bone. until the station at
Madison street and Fifth avenue was
reached. Here the writer began tc gel
ready 10 leave the train. AS it slowed
down he rose, buttoned his coat. and
look one step toward the forward
part OF the car. AS he did so the
portly man made dare for that paper.
But he never got It, for the writer
