ROOTS FOR LIVE STOCK.

On account of the large amount OF
water they contain, cows on roots are
never as thirsty in winter time as they
otherwise would be.
If roots have not been cleansed OF
all particles of dirt when placed in
storage in the fall. they should be
cleansed with plenty of water prior TO
feeding
The dairyman who feeds roots to his
COWS in midwinter is always a wise
enc, no matter how plentifully his
silo' hay NOW and granary may be
stocked.
Besides their intrinsic value TO milk
production, roots fill that want in a
cows diet in winter of something
green, which aids in assimlating
other foods.

and although on hay diet besides,

The dot or dowry is as much a part
of the wedding arrangements in France
as the bridal veil. a woman marries
as seldom without the one as without
the other. French novels contain many
illusions 10 the thrift and toll with
which the parents lay by a suitable dot
for their daughter. One man and
wife in Zola's "Fecondite" laid by near
~ half of their earnings for this pur-
pose IN the hope that she would make
match that would raise the family
in the social scale. A company has
been organized to furnish assurance
dotales." The plan is for the father
TO make annual payments during his
lifetime, and at his death no more pre-
miums need be paid. Thus a father %
years of age pays 3sl francs a year.
and on her majority the daughter re-
ceiyes 10000 francs. Should the Girl
die, the company returns the paw
ments to the parents. There are no
statistics at hand as to the prosperity
Of the company, but it is well adver-
tised in the French magazines. and
probably will be a success.-Chicapo

balanced Ration. for Hon.

The balanced ration is as necessary
in the poultry yard as in the COW ward.
and a man that feeds an unbalanced
ration is wasting a large part of his
food in either case. II food contains
80 per cent. more fat-forming parts
than heterogeneous parts then there is
pound TO be large waste. If the fat
Is laid on, it is wasted and worse than
wasted, for egg production; and If II
Is not laid on it is as certainly wasted.
MOST OF our people feed an excess of
iat formers rather than an excess of
protein, the latter being the more cost
y food. The man that got eggs all
through the fall was the man that fed
4 balanced ration, and he will be the
man that will get good yield of eges
through the coming mon ths.-Fsrmers,

from him and ran along over the train.
Red sprang to his feet hurriedly, in
tending to try and catch it, but in so
doing his feet slipped from under him
and he shot over the side of the car
and received thet aforementioned in
Jurles. The rest of the boys seeing
him fall, instantly ran down the side
ladders of the cars and at the risk of
hurting themselves swung off and run
back to render him their assistance.
They improvised a stretcher by tieing
their coats together and conveyed him

There are several kinds of magma

of Russell Sage and demanded a Ger

consider the drunkards' welfare. 1t
has already been seen that peaceable
measures are of no avail. There re-
mains but one more argument which,
If put into force, would greatly aid the
temperance movement.
The average drunkard, when in his
cups, is nothing more or less than a
raving maniac, and as such should be
dealt with. He has his lucid intervals
and so has lunatic, and while the
latter may be pitied the former should
not be shielded. We have asylums for
the weak minded and others who labor
under delusions less harmful than the
drunkards, and yet he remains at

Reds Feline Love.

The morning was damp and foggy
and the fog seemed to chill the half
dozen tramps grouped around camp
fire on the outskirts of Champaign, to
their very marrow. All the weary
roadsters wore lugubrious expression
on their faces, showing plainly that
something unusual had happened to
cause such a hardened set of men to
look sad.
Happening to be passing their camp
l stopped to warm myself, and
noticing their mournfu and grieyed
demeanor, | enquired in persuasive
tone from a surly visaged tramper
who had seemed to resent my intru-
sion among them, what was the cause
of their sorroWful looks. He did not
seem inclined to answer me, but upon
soliciting him again gained the fol-
lowing facts:
Kitten Red, a big burly perigrinator
of their own class, with big shocky
head of red hair, had fallen from the
top of fast freight train while it was
running at full speed ard had broken
both of his legs and sustained some
other bad injuries. Red had a strong
love for young kittens and always
carried one around with him, from
which distinguishing trait he received
the sobriquet Of Kitten while "Red"
was derived from his carrot -colored
hirsute growth of capillary stems.
Red in company with them, had
mounted the top of freight train the
night before, and as usual had small
kitten slowed away in the bosom of
his shirt. While the train was in mo.
