In the publicantion of the Agricul-
tural College at Columbus is the fol-
lowing on the details of dairy study:
1t may interest some to know how
the student spends his time while
taking the course in dairying. The
work begins at eight o'clock in the
morning and closes at four O'Clock in
the afternoon. During the four morn
ing hours the students are at work
in the laboratory doing practical
work. Some are running separators.
some are churning butter, some are
working butter, some are testing milk,
SOM are bottling milk, some are pas
teurizing milk, others are making
cheese, while others are managing the
boiler, the engines and the condenser.
While all have experience in getting
and keeping things clean-an extreme
ly important lesson. OF course the t
dents are changed about from day to
day so that each becomes familiar with
all operations. Forty or fifty earnest
and energetic students dressed in their
white duck suits make an attractive
and inspiring sight. Indeed it is such
an attraction that the problem of Wis
1tors has become a serious n In the
afternoons one to three o'clock the
students listen to lectures or come pre-
pared to recite the lessons that have
beer assigned them in their text
books. There are lectures and recita-
tions on butter and cheese making.
testing and pasteurizing of milk, on
the chemistry of milk, butter and
cheese; on the care of steam engine
and boiler, on the diseases of cattle, on
the breeds of dairy cattle and on the
principles of feeding and breeding of
cattle. On Friday forenoons instead
of having work in the dairy laboratory
the students judge cattle or spend their
time in calculating feeding rations.

which all admit is a benefit though
some have a poor opinion of them, If
we judge by the idle, rusty feed grind
ers we know of, writes a contributor
to Wallace's Farmer.
1t increases the feeding value of
grain fully 25 per cen in most cases
to grind it. Sows nursing their young
need ground feed made into slop,
which is the only ground feed used at
the hog house. Young calves like whole
grain best, but as soon as they pass
any whole grain it is better to grind
it. The milk COW needs ground feed,
for if she is physicked more than half
the time on whole corn, her bowels
are hot and feverish and anything but
a good quality Of milk will be obtain
ed from her. The fattening cattle need
ground feed; then they get all the
good of it, and the waste in the o"""7-
ments is so small that it will L. 49,
to let the hogs waste the manure 10
get it. If one has cattle and hogs to
fatten it is better to keep them sep
arate and treat each lot as though you
did not have the other. Take a young
steer; his mouth is not full, yet feed
him whole land sometimes frozen)
corn, he is physicked three-fourths Of
the time; his bowels are hot and fever
lsh. Most impurities of the blood and
waste of the system are thrown off
with the eXcrement; then run the pigs
out there to live, grow and fatten on
that kind of hash, roofing up the bed
ding, mussing the yard up generally,
making it twice as bad as it otherwise
would be, and hen in time these same
hogs, if alive, go to make first-class ba-
con, hams, etc. Bah! Such a way Of
producing viands for enlightened hui
manity to live on! No, I don't care
for any pork today. The hog was
probably intended for the scayenger
of all creation, but let's keep him in
such a way that pork and sausage
won't balance accounts with our stom-
achs before we eat it.
Ground feed is just the thing for the
horses, and they like it whether old or
young. When brought in from work
and given ground feed they eat it very
slowly and there is little or no danger
of making them sick on it as when
feeding whole grain. In parts of the
world where grain is highest it is prof
liable for them to grind it, and cannot
we be somewhat benefited by follow
ing their example?

Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Agriculture has been quoted as say
ing: This matter of stock production
farmer, and production for export is a
most important phase of it; more so,
perhaps, than many persons realize at
present. We are daily coming into a
position to be able to supply the world
with not only food, but live animals.
When l first came to Washington l
was much impressed with the neces-
sity of an outlet abroad for our surplus
horse production. For some time pre-"
vious extremely low prices had pre-
vailed for horses in this country n
horse breeders throughout the country
were correspondingly depressed. They
feared that owing to the adoption OF
electric cars, ETC., the demand for
horses would never be re-established.
But these low prices were not an I'M
mixed evil. 1t was they that gave it's
frs impetus to the foreign demand
Tor American horses. The increase in
the expectation of American horses
during the past four or five years has
oeen something wonderful. why,
some of the Germans are now bemoan-
ing the fact that the importation OF
American horses into Germany during
the first nine months of 1898 was dou-
BILE that Of the corresponding months
of 1897. With this idea of increasing
our export horse trade, l ordered as
much information as possible to be
gathered as to the character and ex-
tent of the demand existing abroad for
horses of all kinds. Without such spe-
citic knowledge it was evident that
much improbable shipping would be
done, not only causing a loss to ship
pers, but by placing undesirable ami
mails on the European market, at least
undesirable from the foreign stand
point, opinions u~nfavorable to Ameri-
can horses would be generated abroad,
and thus retard the development of
this trade. l have interested our rep
resentatives in foreign countries and
other parties in positions to report
conditions in~telligently, and we have
received a great deal of information on
the subject. This information is am
pie to satisfy any one who studies it
that a demand exists in Europe, which
should afford great encouragement to
American horse r~aisers, but that in or
der to meet that demand, they should
closely study the foreign require
ments."

Humorous Geese.

VI barnyard fowls the geese are the
most intelligent. 1t is related of a
pair of geese that they used to round
up the chickens which strayed in from
the neighbors and play pranks with
them for the fun of it, a New York
Sun. One day a dozen of a neigh
boris hen flock came visiting and the
geese entertained them. The chickens
were corralled in a fence corner. and
the geese tapped their wings and hiss
ed, showing great joy when the chick
ems exhibited fear. Just then the
farmer came out and began to feed
his fock. Between hen-baiting and
eating, these geese did not know what
to do. They wanted to eat, and would
begin to eat. Then the chickens would
start away. That made the geese so
uneasy that they could not eat. After
a bit the chickens started along the
fence toward a little stream OF water
with eighteen-inch high banks. On see
ing this the geese stopped eating and
vent to the stream and swan down
II toward the spot for which the hens
were headed, and ducked their heads
so that the chickens couldn't see them.
Arriving at the crossing place, the
geese jumped into the air with flaming
wings and tried to catch one of the
chickens, but they were too slow, and
the chickens went over the fence like
scared crows, If the geese had
caught the chicken the feathers would
have flown, for the geese delighted in
plucking the feathers out of a captive.

conclusions: The offspring of parents

Latter Despair OF Competing with the
Gorgeous CANVASS.
AS for the male population, 1t con-
sists mainly of some sc $1,000 replicas of
Sir Henry Irving as Shylock, says the
London Chronicle. They have all bor-
rowe6 his sash, his furred gaberdine
and his complete makeup" These
are the descendants of Jews who fed
from the Spanish inquisition, and
whether 1t be the result of in-breeding
or of some other cause, they are all
alike. No doubt they know one an
other, and perhaps a practiced resi-
dent a tell them-just as a shepherd
can tell his ~f1ock-.apart. Their wom-
enk1nd wear a remarkable uniform,
which might have a certain charm if
worn by people of a different shape.
IL may be said to consist chiefly of
decoiletage-no corset-and a green
satin door-knocker at the back of the
head. Feminine vanity takes the form
of competition in the size of the door
knocker. 1t is lot a vision of perfect
beauty, but at any rate it is better
than a yashmak. The truth is that
women of all races and creed in Tur-
key have given up trying to wear at
tractiye clothes out of sheer despair
at the unapproachable gorgeousness Of
the cavass. A cavass in full uniform
"defies competition" I happened to be
present the other day at Constanti-
nople at the semi-oficial farewell of
M. Cambon, the departing French am
bassador. The central figure on the
railway platform, towering above am
bassadors and putting the mere mill
tary into the shade, was a splendid
creature in dazzling scarlet. It was
the first cavass of the British embas-
sy. Sometimes the cavass affects the
costume-short braided
jacket, jaunty cap and stiff, white bal
let-dancer petticoat. 1 instinctively
looked to see these gentlemen pirou-
cite on their toes. The cavass is noto-
riously-and pardonably-vain. It is
not only that he is conscious of a cos
tune; he remembers that he was once
a janissary. Hence he goes armed to
the teeth, even though it is only to
carry his mistress lap dog. If we ever
introduce the cavass into London
and why not?-in the affections of the
nursemaids he will prove a formidable
rival to Policeman x. and Dandy Dan.
the life guardsman. And he is as USE
full as he is ornamental. The protec-
ton of a CANVASS gets you through the
customs with hardly the opening of a
hat box, knocks 25 per cent off the
sum by which you are cheated in the
bazaars, and even keeps the irrepressi-
BILE little Jewish shoeblacks from run
ming at your heels. His dignifed
port, though it at first abashes, at
last stimulates and fortiies YOU. You
feel that o are taking part in the
procession, and that now or never is
the time for your demeanor to be not
ed by the reporters as "affable." This
is the cavass frame of mind. And to
think that you can enjoy the harmless
%exaltation for "the ridiculous sum" OF
a few piasters!

AT what time in the worlds history

literature fails to inform us; but, that

centuries past, shows us that. in COM

earliest times. If we inquire as to the
origin of our breeds of geese, we find
that there are one or two writer's that
say the wild prototype of the domestic
goose does not now exist, and cite the
camel as an analogous case. They
give as a reason therefor the fact that

Grit for Poultry.

In a recent number of Farmers Re-
view l read a communication from a
lady correspondent, who said she
could not get her hens to eat
broken crockery. l think that
her hens were not brought up
right. l would like to give you my
experience in feeding grit to hens:
l began feeding grit about ten years
ago. First l broke up bones for them,
and the hens soon learned to come
when they heard the sound of the
Ratchet. l then broke up earthenware
and found they ate it as greedily as
they did the bone. l then tried them
with broken glass, such as comes from
the tops of fruit cans, and found they
ate that. l also gave them common
glass and white flint stone. l have
had fifty hens eat two half-gallon
glass cans in one day without any in
furious effect. If hens do not have
food suitable for the production of
eggs they will eat but little grit; but
if they are in condition to lay, n
hen will eat a tablespoonful every two
or three days. A good way to break
glass OF flint stone is to heat them
very hot, and then drop them in water
till they will break easily. But with
earthenware it is different, as the hens
do not eat it if it is heated to a point
where it is blackened.
