MISTAKES IN FEEDINA
The Nervous Cow Usually Gives the
Most Milk and Likewise Re-
Quires the Best Food.

W It is the nervous COW that gives the
greatest amount of good milk. One in
.clined to go to fat makes an excellent
beef COW, but relatively poor milker.
As the nervous cows apt to be smaller
in proportion than a large, fat, beef
making COW. the idea gains some head
way that she requires less food. In
deed, there is q tendency in some quar-
tiers to reason that a COW needs food
in proportion to her size; that is,
large COW requires more than small
one. This is an error Of a most pro-
Snounced order. It is nervous energy
that absorbs and uses up food, and it
requires more to feed such q nature
than it does one Of a phlegmatic dispo-
ssition. # anything the opposite to
what is true in general practice should
be observed. More rich and highly con-
,centrated food should be given to the
small milker than to the large beef
maker. The good mixer, if her di-s
gestion is good, can change more Of
her food into milk than another ami
NAL can convert into beef or fat. "A
good deal Of this food that is given
to the milker is converted directly into
milk, and is thus more prof table than
when fed to the beef cattle. III
The nervous animals mechanism is
more easily deranged than that of the
heavy beef-making animals. A plow
horse can stand more abuse than the.
high-strung race horse. Many dairy
men do not appreciate this thorough
1ly, either in their feeding or caring
for good milch cows. AS the whole
value Of the animals products depends
very closely upon the condition of her.
digestion, a study should be made con-
stantly Of the cows health. In a nor
NAL condition she can take great
amount of food and convert it directly
into milk. This food should be given
with the best possible caution, so that
it will not injure the health of the
animal. Give all to the COW that she
will eat up clean is good rule. to go
by, but if her appetite declines there
is something wrong with her digestion
that needs instant attention. Very FREE
quently this cause is so simple that one
overlooks it. In q nervous COW a sud-
den fright, undue excitement or run
ming in the field, or anything that will
upset. the nerves, may cause the flow
Of milk to stop temporarily, and upset
the digestion so that the full quantity
Of milk will not be given for weeks.
It is to guard against such slight acci-
dents that the dairyman must exer-
else his supervision and, authority. His
cows are high strung milking machines
that will easily give out under abuse
or misuse. G. w. Jones, in American
Cultivator.

Timothy + % 4 Dairy Feed. Z.

No dairyman, alive to his interests,
has any business to feed timothy hay
to his dairy cows. This. hay has the
highest market value and about the
poorest feeding value Of any hay upon
the market. So let the horseman have
the timothy and the dairyman the
clover and roWen hays. Suppose a
dairyman has produced a lot of timothy
hay upon his own farm; there is no
reason at all why he should feed the
sameto his COWS. Better far to sell this
timothy for its market value; as horse
hay and buy clover hay with the pro-
ceeds for the COWS. This practice will
result in a big saving to any dairyman

Only great utburst OF melody from
the choir prevented = general hysteria,
which was plainly Imminent. To the
singing the people kept time with their
feet and their swaying bodies.
& It was hardly conceivable that any
negroes in the city were kept ignorant
of the event, SO thoroughly had the
preachers betrayed the general. Scores
of them must have worked all night
to erect the platform and arrange the
decorations. Over the pulpit was a
huge portrait Of Grant, draped and fes-
tooned with flowers, and opposite was
a similarly decorated portrait Of Lin
coin. Grant had not spoken a word

rounded by the multi tude. Now he
whispered, as he wiped his flushed face:

a renewal Of the cries, but the little
pastor and the marshais soon restored
quiet enough for his words to be heard.
He spoke briefly, saying in effect that
the coloreds people had their future in
their own hands. He urged them to
stick to the Bible and the spelling book
and they were bound to enjoy theirful
share Of material prosperity. To some,
who eyid dently expected him to announce
that he had come to consecrate himself
to the restoration Of their political
rights, the speech was apparently disap-
pointing. sss

EXCESSIVE TAXATION IN CITIES.

The complaint is becoming quite general
that the cities pay pretty nearly all of the
taxes needed for the support Of the gov
ernments of the states in which they are
situated. During the session of the leg
islature in this state last fall we called at
tention to the fact that a few counties in
which there are cities, pay about all Of the
taxes required for the support Of the state
government OF the 1877 counties only
about twenty pay more into the state
treasury than they draw out Of it. The
people of Greater New York are com
planning that they pay more than two
thirds Of the cost of, supporting the state
government. The Herald of that city calls
attention to the fact many counties of the
state get back more than they pay into
the treasury. Nine counties last year got
back SCI, 900 more than they paid in taxes.
The reason for this condition of affairs
is that property in Greater New York is
assessed at very near it's actual value,
while in the rural counties it is taxed at
less than half of it's market value. An
examination in New York state showed
that in most of the rural districts prop
erty was assessed at from "a to So per cent.
of its actual value. 1t is not to be won
dered at that with such assessments taxa
ton in the country districts is so very low
while it is very high in the cities.
There Is unquestioned evidence to show
that in this state property in many, if not
the great majority, of the counties out
side of those which contain the
cities is assessed far below its
real value. The result Is that three
fourths of the counties pay nothing to-
wards the support of the state govern
ment The whole burden of the state
government falls on a few counties, those
which have cities in them. 1t is ques-
ton how long the cities will stand this
sort of injustice They have asked for
a state board of equalization but the
counties which practically evade taxation
have the majority in the legislature, and,
hence the demand Of the cities
for justice is practically ignored
If some remedy is not found
by which taxation can be more even
Iy distributed the ciues win adopt meas
ures for self-protection. $.ey will put
up the rate of municipal taxation and
lower the assessed valuation of property.
To force a few counties to bear the whole
