FEEDING FOR MILK.
Points to Be Observed in Getting the
Best Results During the
Winter,

Taking it for granted that the
dairyman has warm and comfortable
winter quarters for his mich cows, a
good flow of milk is readily produced
with proper feed and management. 1t
the farmer has corn silage, he is able
to put up the best and cheapest dairy
ration obtainable. We feed COWS on
full flow of milk from 20 to % pounds
of silage twice a day, morning and
night. At noon, bright, clean clover or
millet hay is given, in such quantities
as will be eaten up clean. About
three pounds of bran is given with
silagc to those on full flow of milk,
while Others receive proportionately
less. The feeder must constantly
watch his animals, as to how they re-
spond to liberal feeding, and vary his
methods with different animals, says
the Farmers Review. With silage
that has an abundance of corn in it
there is no need of feeding ground
corn.
Salt the COWS about every other
day, giving a small handful OF feed.
This will keep their bowels open and
prevent disorders of the digestive
organs, which occur quite frequent
ly with animals highly fed. Where no
silage is obtainable, a good flow can
be maintained by feeding good clover
or r:illet hay in the morning and
bright shredded corn fodder at night.
For the grain ration, feed about four
pounds of bran and two pounds OF
corn-meal, or four pounds of corn and
cob-meal, twice a day. Although not
as good as the silage ration, still, in
the absence of a silo, it will prove
very satisfactory. Feed, water and
milk the COWS regularly; see to theiI
every comfort, treat them kindly at
milking time, and rest assured thai
you will receive your reward in q
good flow of milk.

SHIPS BRIDES TO CANADA.
Salvation Army Starts Matrimonial
Bureau-First Cargo Of Girls
Has Left England.

London.-To it's multifarious agen-
cies the Salvation Army is adding
that of a matrimonial bureau on
great scale.
This far reaching decision was
taken at a conference of officials IN
London recently: eve believe that
the time has arrived when the army
can be of useful service in this re-
spect to the entire world" said Mr..
Coombs, territorial commissioner,
whose headquarters are in Toronto,
Canada, in making the announcement.
Work began forthwith. Fifty mar
riageable young women left London
for Canada on the first em1grant
steamer, Kensington, and others fol-
lowed soon afterward.
There are 10000 men. at least, in
Canada waiting for Brides said Maj.
Morris, deputy secretary for emigra-
ton.
According to Col. Lamb, head of the
emigration department in London, the
Salvation Army acts as chaperon.

and pedigree of her sutton"
The officials will arrange such en-
tertainments as garden parties and
harvest festivals to allow the men
from the western plains to meet the
young women.
In the meantime great quantities OF

Salvation Army. Whether or not this
Is due to the alleged decline of love
| making, or to the strong feminine
love of romance which finds freer play
across the wide ocean and wind-swep
plains, the officials have not decided.

DAIRY HINTS.

Never tell anyone that your butter
is not quite SO good as usual this
time" Don't make any such but
ter. Let every churning be the best
yet.
Keep the cream where no bad
smells can get at it. A good stone
jar, with close-fltting cover, is about
as good as anything for this pur-
pose.
Cream partly ripened and partly
fresh will not churn we'll together.
Have it all alike. When new cream
is put into the jar, stir the whole,
clear to the bottom, to mix it well.
Don't "guess" at things when you
are at work at your butter. Don't
make a thermometer of your finger.
1t looks bad. Don't think you washed
your churn out well enough last
week to last all winter. You can't
do it. No matter if you washed it
when you last used it, thoroughly
scald it out again this time.-Farm

FISHING IN SALT WATER.
Commission to Regulate It on the
New Jersey Coast Appointed
by Governor.

Trenton, N. Gov. Stokes has ap-
pointed a committee to Investigate the
subject of salt water fishing and to re-
port to the legislature a suitable plan
for the regulation of this business and
sport The commission is created by
a resolution recently introduced in the
legislature by Senator Wood Mckee, of
Passaic county. The members of the
committee will have a meeting at the
statehouse soon, when opportunity will
be given for all phases of the subject
to be ventilated.
The subject has been ventilated
many times before, but on occasions
the commission always has been COM
posed largely of men interested in
mendaden fishing. This time it is be-
lieved that an equal show will be
given the hook and line fishermen.
Ocean county borders upon Barne
gat bay, the great fishing resort OF
New Jersey, and Senator Shinns con-
stituents are made up largely Of hotel
and cottage owners, fishermen and
boatmen, all of whom would benefit
by the enactment of law to permit
the edible fish to come up into the bay
| instead of being scooped up by the
menhaden fishers and ground into fer
| tilizers, or by pound nets and held IL
cold storage for months at time il
order that prices may not be lowered
in Philadelphia and New York.
Jersey line fishermen, as well a.
thousands of sportsmen from othe
states, have for years been demanding
a law that will give them protection
from the Menhaden and pound fishers
and they are hopeful that such a Law
will be the outcome of this years com
mission and it's work.
