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.
Given twice or even once day
through the latter part of the winter
crisp, succulent roots form a valuable
addition to the rations of milch cattle.
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
one, 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 assimilating
other foods.
I have known cows to lose appetite
and shrink in milk yield, following the
feeding of dry roots. The earth and
clay clinging to the little rootlets did
the bad business.
A neighbor of mine had COW to
which he fed a bushel of turnips daily,
and, although on a hay diet besides,
he said she never drank any water in
three weeks, althoush b offered it daily.

selves gentlemen, but nobody really
thought them SO. They had been
merry-making, and one mans horse
had lost shoe, and his drunken dig
nifty was such that he must pause at
the cottage to send for a blacksmith
to come to him or else have his horse
led to the blacksmith's while he wait
ed. It was evident that the dwellers
at the cottage were poor folks, and
these gentlemen felt assured their
lordly orders would be obeyed. Now.
Miss Martha was civil, if frightened,
but Master Jack was sullen, and when
the young, wine-heated man bade him
lead the horse or fetch the snIth,
Jack fatty refused to do either.
'What, what! You'll be paid"
shouted the owner of the horse.
"Come. young mistress, have you no

He staggered up, and Jack-Jack

opening into the alley from the pens
are very convenient in changing hogs
from one pen to another.
The brood pens should have a south
ern exposure, with large window for
each pen, made low down. so the sun
shine can reach the little pigs. Notice
the temporary floor in the nest part,
to keep bedding dry. This can be re-
moved when you wish to fatten hogs.
The partition boards, etc., can be laid
on brackets or pins above, where they
will be out of the way and always
handy to get when needed. The floor
should slant back from the feed
troughs about four inches in the 12
feet.
Don't be afraid to have plenty of
windows, for hogs need lots of light.
If you wish to raise early pigs and
are afraid of their freezing, build a
temporary house over the nest about
five by six feet. This should be made
tight and warm, with a door in front
large enough for the sow to go in and
out easily. If the weather is cold,
keep this door shut at narrowing time,
and when the pigs are four or five days
old remove the temporary pen from
over them, so they can get sunlight
and exercise. Don't neglect doing this,

EnsilREe AZ Food for Horses.

AS many people have an idea that
ensilage is not a good food for horses,
we will call attention to the fact that
the Virginia Experiment station has
been testing it,, and they report that
the trouble from it's use has arisen
from too much having been fed at the
beginning, and as the horse likes it he
is tempted to eat too much of it, as he
might of green grass or clover. This
is more apt to be the case when it con-
tains large amount of corn. When
they began by feeding small quantities
: and increased very gradually in ths
amount given no injury resulted, and
after they were well accustomed to its
use they would not eat too heartily

TEXAS DEVASTATION.
AufuI Destruction by Wind and Wave.--
Thousands Of Lives Lost.

A large part of Texas has been
swept by a hurricane, coming from
the direction of the West Indies,
which wrought awful havoc, The
storm swept over Central and
Southern Texas Saturday afternoon.
Galveston, which was directly in the
course of the storm, was almost
wrecked, not building escaping un-
injured. The waters of the bay
arose over the island on which the
city is located, covering it for several
feet. Besides those killed by the
wind, many were drowned in the
flood. The city was entirely isolated
from the outside world, all the
bridges which connect it with the
mainland being destroyed and all
telegraph and railroad communica-
ton interrupted.
News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1900-09-12

The destruction wrought is best
described as simply appalling. In
Galveston alone it is estimated that
not less than 1900 persons persisted,
while the property loss may aggre-
gate $10,O00,000. The damage done
elsewhere was also on an enormous
scale, and it is feared the total loss
of life due to the storm may reach
1000. Reports received by railroad
men at Dallas make the calamity
still worse. They indicate that the
loss of life will be not less than 5000
and may reach 10000.
Galveston is in sore need and
makes an appeal for aid. Relief
movements have been started in
various localities.
