GRAIN AND ROOTS FOR COWS.

a number Of experiments have DEM
onstrated that the best results come
from feeding the grain to dairy COWS
after it is ground and there is also
considerable advantage in feeding a
number Of grains either mixed or by
themselves. In the matter of root crops
feeding mainly carrots and mangels
our best results have come from slicing
the roots 50 that the COW may begin
to masticate at once without waiting to
bite the root to a proper size. While
there may be some doubt about the
wisdom of feeding dairy COWS heavily
on roughage, it is Il good plan to give
them enough so that they will have it
before them to take when they please.
We tlnd 1t a good plan to furnish this
roughage in small quantities so that
after the grain is eaten the COW can
make Il few cuds: then. in the middle
of the morning and afternoon other
small quantities are given her. In this
way h not likely to over eat of bulky
o and be unable to eat properly OF
h grain ration. This sort OF feeding
combined with the sunny stable, warm
and clean with plenty OF fresh clean
water will fill the milk pail.

noticed early in the season that there
was quite Il difference in the growth of

difference Was maintained until the

1t was decided to cut the acre platS
separately. The following table gives

Japan's Human Horses"

London Mail: The feats OF which
the Japanese ~rickshawmen are capable
are Amos incredible. l remember some
years ago being driven ashore in a
yacht in the Inland sea during n ty-
plioon. 1t WAS far beyond the treaty
limits which then existed. and for
eigners We're not allowed to travel out
side those limits without special pass
ports. But the mayor OF the nearest
fishing village was Kindness itself. He
promised to supply the best r%ickshaw-
men which the neighborhood could
produce, so as to take us to Il railway
station some forty miles away. And
he kept his word, for the distance was
covered in less than six hours, includ-
ing a halt for refreshments. Each
rickShaw WAS drawn by two men, tam
dem wise, the usual fashion when long
distances have TO be covered. The
leaders in each went through the whole
distance. while the wheelers. so 10
speak. were changed half way. The
road was over a great part o! the dis
lance little better than Il mountain
track. and it was raining most Of the
time. but there was never Il break in
our progress except to allow the coolies
to take off or put on their clothes. They
prefer running in nothing but Il loin-
cloth. and do so whenever they get
safely beyond the y of the police.
who have orders strictly to administer
the law against nudity.
The fare paid for this prolonged
journey was, il l remember rightly,
about three shillings for each rick
shaw, the extra shilling being :, gratu-
ity thrown in for good service. | know
that it purchased so many blessings
on my honorable head as cannot vet
be quite exhausted. And having made
our farewells at the railway station.
the coolies started back ut once for
their village.

THE WAR SITUATION.

The dispatches from the seat Of war
in Asia give no clear idea OF what is
going on there. II seems that the two
armies are drawing daily nearer one
another, that almost uninterrupted
lighting Is taking place, at one point or
another, and that decisive battle may
be expected at any time, 1t is also
evident that the entrance TO Port Ar
thur Is no longer INSTRUCTED by the
chips sunk there by the Japanese; also
that the Russian fleet there Is consid-
erably larger than generally supposed
after the numerous disasters that have
befallen IT, According 90 Admiral To-
COS report there must be Mt least four
battle ships, four cruisers and fourteen
torpedo destroyers ready at any time TO
make a dash into outside waters, and
this fact may easily render more difl-
cult the capture Of the stronghold by
the combined land and sea forces OF
the Japanese. Further, the Vladivo-
stok squadron must be reckoned with,
Should those ships appear outside Port
Arthur mt What may perhaps be called
the psychological moment" the Rus
sian chances would be much more ia
vorable than they have been supposed
to be. The elimination Of the Russian
naval strength In Chinese waters may
have been assumed too early,
