winter Food For MIX Cows.

Good ensilage, of course, is the best,
but if the silo has been neglected the
animals must be fed on something else
that will give nearly the same results.
Where clover hay can be obtained at So
or less per ton it should form an impor
tant part of the daily ration. This
would form the bulk of the coarse food
and furnish the animals with protein
and carbohydrates. Glover hay properly
cured contains plenty of nourishment,
but much of it is lacking in the right
essentials through ignorant handling.
In securing the hay consequently not a
little emphasis should be placed upon
its quality. If too ohippy and brittle, it
is pretty good sign that it is rather
inferior in nourisbing qualities. Good
oats in the sheaf make excellent milk
COW feed for winter. Good sheaf oats
can be purchased from $40 per ton up
ward, and at this price they make an
excellent investment The average sheaf
oats would turn out from 30 to 40 per
cent grain and 60 to 10 per cent straw.
Upon this basis the grain and straw
would supply rather more carbohydrates
than protein. Likewise good corn slower
would show this same lack of proper
ton between the two food elements
Now, pound of protein is worth in
value aboat two pounds of the carbohy
drates. But it will not make that much
difference to the cows, and consequently
it is better to feed more carbohydrates
proportionately than protein The latter
can be given in greater quantities in
such foods as cornmeal, malt sprouts,
cottonseed meal and other grains. The
relative high price of these foods should
not exclude them entirely from the
cows bill of fare During the cold
weather the animals need food rich in
protein, and it is only by not stinting
them in the grains that the best results
are obtained. In the end, if other things
are equal and the cows receive excellent
all round care, rich feeding will pay

The National Mouse Club of England
recently held an exhibition where sew
eral hundred mice competed for gold
medals, champion cups and various 9th
er prizes. These little creatures are not
the ordinary everyday mice which scare
the cook and drive the mistress of the
house to take refuge on chair They
are we'll bred mice that expected to be
petted and caressed and treated as ten
derly as pet cat or dog.
By careful breeding they have de-
veloped great variety in eoloring and
sometimes in shape One very choice
style of animal. called the spiny mouse,
has row of bristling hair for a spinal
ornament and is a very cute miniature
reproduction of porcupine. The ia
miliar white mice so often seen for sale
ON the streets here have been bred with
black eyes instead of red ones. 1t has
taken several years to produce these re-
suits, but the society now claims to be
able to furnish mice in IL or 10 differ
ent shades. To any one who is able to
overcome the fear of mice they are
dainty, delicate little studies at any
time, but when they play around il
suits Of chocolate, sable, fawn, jet
black, tortoise or golden agouti they be
come perfectly fascinating
AS in the case of all fads of this kind
the prices brought by these little pets
are extremely steep Fifteen dollars or
$40 is not large price to pay for a
well bred mouse, and some of them
have been sold for as high as $25

A story is told of judge who up to
his death sat on the crown side on the
South Wales circuit. Counsel for the
defense once asked leave to address the
jury in Welsh, and, the case being a
simple one, permission was given with
out demur. He said but very few
words; the judge also did not think
much comment was necessary, but was
somewhat startled by prompt verdict
of acquittal.
"What was it, he afterward in
quired, "that counsel said to the jury?"

ment to be repeated of addresses to the

1t is unfortunate that the picture

DOCKING HORSES.
The Royal Agricultural society Re.
solves Against the Practice.

The Royal Agricultural Society Re-
solves Against the Practice.
At the recent meeting of the Royal
Agricultural Society of Great Britain
the following resolution was adopted on
motion of Sir Nigel Kingscote: ''That
at and after the Maidstone meeting of
1899 no foals with locked tails be al
lowed to be exhibited at the society's
country meetings.; that at and after the
meeting of 1900 the same rule shall APP
ply to yearlings as well as foals, and
that at and after the meeting of 1901
to 2-year odds also. -
In support of the resolution the mover
said that be felt he had no occasion to
apologize for bringing tie matter of the
docking of horses before tie society
again, as, to his mind, the cause he
espoused had become a hundredfoId
more needful since the matter was last
considered in 1892 and 1898. He gave
to the secretary the notice which he had
put upon the paper Immediately after
the meeting at -Four Oaks park, where
he was shocked and disguised to see the
extent to which docking had been car
ried, not only with the aged and young
horses, but with the foaIs also, spelling
altogether, to his mind, the best exhibit
of horses he had ever seen at royal
show.
In discussing the question Earl Spen-
Ger maintained with regard TO the ques-
tion of docking horses that very little
difficulty arose. Probably it might arise
in some small degree from the construc-
tion of carriages, but be went so far as
to say that it would be better to alter
the carriage rather than keep short
tails. As to affecting the supply of the
country, he could not believe that in
the least. Would they say that because
they made better looking animal, and
one more in accordance with nature,
that they would drive the people who
bought horses from the country? He
could not allow that for a moment. 1t
was entirely a question of fashion. In
old days it was the fashion to crop
horses ears, and it was a singular thing
with regard to this question of hor :es'
bdtAc tAdl tuS 6OlSO Wn4CI tDoy
cred the pride of England-viz, the
race horse-always had the longest tail
possible Where they required to dimin-
ish weight they still kept the tail. He
was very glad to think they did so.
With respect to hunters, there was no
doubt in his mind that it was an enor-
nous addition to the beauty of horse
TO have good tail, and he went so far
as to say that the docking of horse
was prejudicial TO its power of turning.
He had had horses, and he had one now,
a hackney with very short dock. He
had bought him with dock, and he
had had to dock him again. They were
obliged in his part of the country to
have horses very quick at turning, and
he lord Spencer) could not screw that
particular horse round to open gate.
This was due to the locked tail. The
greatest discomfort and cruelty to a
horse was its being deprived of the
power of whisking away flies while in
the field. The system of leaving foals
and breeding mares with a miserable
pretense of a tail was barbarous, and
he might almost say indecent.
