A General Seeding Practice.

The practice Of feeding equal parts
Of cottOnseed meal. bran and cornmeal.
by weight. is one in general use, but
such foods as linseed meal and cotton.
seed meal should be regulated for ami.
mails that are unaccustomed to such
foods. Give each animal four ounces
per day for a week. and then increase
an ounce a day until as much as a
pound is allowed each cow. The cot.
tonseed meal must be free from husk.
and should be discontinued two months
before each cow calves. Linseed meal
Is somewhat laxative i'm its effects and
the quantity should be reduced. if
necessary. II is a better food than cot.
tonseed meal. being more wholesome.

Build Air-risht Silos.

1t seems 10 be the general opinion ot
dairymen that on account Of the high
prices Of feed this winter there is no
money in dairying. But need this he
so? II we have silos filed with we'll
cared well-matured corn and plenty
of early cut clover hay. very little pro-
tein need be bought. Many make a
great mistake in building silos that are
not air-tight. a few dollars extra spent
in the construction Of a silo may save
tons of silage. ! have seen Silos made
OF only one thickness OF boards, and
there would be a foot Of rotten silage
around the walls Can n man afford
this loss? The cheap silo is expensive
in the end.-L. NJ. V. in Orange Judd

Crossing the Breeds Injurious.

Crossing pure bred animals. whether
of cattle sheep. swine or poultry. leads
TO the destruction Of the breeds. In
nearly all cases when the attempt is
made to blend the best qualities OF two
different breeds the offspring is not
equal to either parent, and in the
course Of few wears there will be no
uniformity and the stock reverts to the
scrub. Too much mixing Is no better
than keeping scrubs 1t Is right and
proper TO grade Gp a common herd or
flock with pure bred males. but to
cross two breeds is a mistake. For in
stance. TO cross q merino with Shrop-
shire will result in offspring that will
not equal the dam in fineness Of wool
nor the sire In quality of flesh and
weight Of carcass. Where crossing is
practiced largely. rs with poultry. the
result Is nearly always a failure. there
being no uniformity Of color, size or
laying qualities. IL an Ayrshire and
Jersey are crossed the offspring will
not give as much milk as the Ayrshire
nor produce as much butter as the Jer-
sey. To cross the breeds Is TO lose
more than is gained. When buying
pure bred stock the fall of the year is
the best season for so doing II the
prices to be paid are considered. The
majority Of breeders do not care to
winter more stock than they can ac-
commodate comfortably and are con-
SCqucntly disposed 20 sell at lower
prices than in The spring. Better stock
can also be obtained in the fall. as
breeders have more on hand from
which TO select Philadelphia Record.

ABOUT SIDEWALK GRADES.

Councilmen Hummell, Harmon and
Potter and Aldermen Jones and Grief,
of the joint street committee Of the
general council, met last night to con-
slider the matter of grades for pave
ments on side streets running towards
Broadway. Heretofore the grades
have been largely to conform to the
building, but it was decided last night
to hereafter have them conform to the
grade of the concrete sidewalks on
Broadway. although a great deal is
left to the discretion of the city en-
gineer.
