Effect of Good Stablinc.

In perfect stable with all the con.
ditions Just right, about Is pounds of
good mixed hay a day will be used by
1000 pound COW to simply exist,
writes j. S. Woodward in Hoards'
Dairyman. If no food is given be-
yond this, no production of milk can
take place except at the expense of the
cows condition. DR.. Lehman made
some very instructive experiments in
which flood of light is thrown on
this question of feeding cows. He
shows that the same COW that was
kept in the pink of condition on 1S
pounds of dry matter in hay, ate all
the way up to 25 pounds as she was
placed in less favored conditions.
That when turned out for couple of
hours each day, as cows are usually
treated, she ate u pounds with no
gain Of milk production. He then
continued to show the cost of milk
production in food beyond this point.
His experiments We're very instruc-
tive, showing that when eating %
pounds dry matter in cold stable nd
milk resulted, and the same when eat
ing Is to II pounds under more favor
able conditions, SO that in each case,
the food eaten was entirely wasted so
far as production of milk was con-
cerned. That when eating 25 pounds
of dry matter, under ordinary condi-
tions. IL pounds of milk was made at
an expense of 2.27 pounds of dry mat
ter for each pound.
But as the ration was increased for
each two pounds of dry matter, the in
crease of milk was about Sc, and at a
gradual reduction in the amount OF
dry matter to produce pound of
milk.
The conclusions of the above turns a
bright light on one grave mistake often
made, that Of deficient feeding.
A bright, clear headed man will
look into this question. and will see
that the milk costing the least is pro-
duced when the COW is fed an abun-
dant ration, properly balanced. We
have often heard farmers remark con-
cerning a neignbor who was liberal
feeder: eyes, know he gets lots of
milk, but it costs him all it is worth
in feeding"
BY the above it will be seen that it
took just about half the food to pro-
duce pound of milk when the COW
was fed 30 pounds of dry matter that
it did when she was fed % pounds,
conditions being the same. Many
feed their cows only about enough to
maintain life. They get but little
milk, and what they get costs high.

AT MESS ON BOARD THE OLYMPIA.

ladders and gratings with sand and
canvas continues until ten minutes of
8 O'Clock, when the call to "spread
mess gear" is sounded by the boat
swain's mate on watch. This is also
the signal to clean up, and each jackie
grabs deck bucket, gets his share Of
fresh water from the captain of his
part of the ship, and makes his toilet,
which, if not elaborate, amply suffices
for his needs.
After the washing, the sailors
toilet consists of vigorous rubbing
with coarse towel-his own private
property-and hair brushing with
the aid of an ancient brush and small
wooden framed glass generally carried
in the little chest, or ditty box, which
is the officially approved trunk of each
jackie.
At the stroke of eight bells, s
o'clock, the call to breakfast is given.
Salty air and an open, free life pro-
duce excellent appetites, and there is
no dawdling in the race for the mess
tables on the berthdeck.
Breakfast over, the men have until
9 to smoke, then all hands are turned
to and the ship is cleaned up for quar-
ters. This latter ceremony is con-

Taxation until the mellow notes of the
bugle sound taps, and the boatswain's
mates whistle echoes through the
decks in the last call of the day

There are many other incidents
which go to make up the naval day.
At sea, when the ships company is
divided into watches, the monotony is
greater than in port. It is during the
latter time, with the feet at anchor of
some friendly city, or when the ship
is tied up to dock in one of the home
navy yards, that Jack finds his hours
filed with variety and pleasures suffi'
cient to satisfy even his desires. It
is then the liberty list-a potent term

Entrances to Fields.

In all country roal making there is
usually much plowins up OF roadsides
and scraping of the soil into the E:id-
die of the highway to make good
road bed. Most of this work is worse
than useless, though there are places
where the open ditch beside the road
operates as drain and thus does some
good. But in any case the farmer who
owns land adjoining the road should
insist that if the ditch is needed the
highway overseer must bridge the
open ditch so that it will aot obstruct
the entrances to his fields. Out of
those fields he will each year draw
many loads of produce, and into them
as many of manure. To have good
entrance to his fields is therefore
the most important part of road max
ing for him. Yet after the road tax is
workel out it is often found that a
high but very narrow roadbed has been
made ia the centre of the highway,
and ditch between it and the gate
that he uses to enter his fields. The
only way for the farmer then to do is
to make at his own expense culvert
for water to pass through, and cover
it nearly as high as the roadbed. 1t
will make bad place to turn if the
roadbed is narrow as well as h gh.
When farmer has few such ex-
periences he will probably come to
the conclusion that working out his
tax under the average path master is
about the dearest possible way to keep
roads in good condition, even though
he does not have to pay out any
money The time is coming when
deep underdrains beside the roadbed
will make only very slight rise in
the centre necessary to insure good
track. The deep drain should be cou
nected at frequent intervals with the
loose stone OF underdrain under the
roadbed itself. This will keep the
road always dry, and it will make it
easy to turn out without breaking
down or overturning an overloaded
wagon. Then with wide gate, so as
to avoid danger of hitting either side
when loaded wagon goes through,
there will be fewer losses by breakage
OF wheels, axles or gate posts, anil the
farmer will have the tenefits Of the
good road as much as those who merely
drive on its roadbed. American Gull

vawns, not unmixed with something
stronger, from the occupants of the
hammock crowded berth deck, and
presently the ladder leading above is
thronged with half-clad figures mount
ing upward IN a ghostly procession.
Each figure carries upon his shoulder
his individual hammock, carefully
lashed and fetterei. This he de-
posits in the receptacles prepared for
the purpose and then hies himself to
his mess, where he finds steaming cof-
fee without milk and barely sweetened,
but extremely welcome as an eye
opener.
The spotlessly clean decks of naval
vessels are proverbial. This cleanli-
ness, which seemed novel even to royal
eyes, is the result Of hours of hard,
constant work every morning on board
every ship in the service. It is to the
executive officer that all praise or
blame in reference to the condition of
ship belongs, and directly after the
crew has had its early coffee he is on
deck personally experimenting the
holystoning and scrubbing and per-
haps painting. Herelieves the officer
of the deck, who goes below for light
lunch, and then sees that the boat
swain's mates and the captains of the
different parts of the ship distribute
their men to the best advantage. If it
be wash day the crew is allowed to at
tend to its laundry work before the
scrubbing begins, for, be it understood,
there are no Hop Lees" or colored
women in the naval service.
