Eeedinr for Best Results

When feeding for best dairy results
and especially a COW Weighing 1000
pounds and yielding twenty-five
pounds of per cent milk. there are
required approximately two pounds Of
digestible portein thirteen pounds of
carbohydrates and a little overa half
pound Of fat. \ ration composed of
clover hay. ten pounds of corn stover
four pounds of grouad corn and one
pound of oil meal would furnish these
various nutriments.
II is not probable that the ordinary
COW would consume such an amount
Of roughness, and one may substitute
one pound of bran Tor each two
pounds of clover hay. More than this,
some bran should be added to dilute
the corn and oil meals, as they are
too concentrated when red alone.
The dual purpose COW will produce
only about a dollars worth of milk
from a dollars worth of feed. The
successful dairyman must have the

priest had been consulted as to an
suspicious day every person suspected

place at night were ordered to be pres

that date all turned up. First the
people were made to sit in a semi
circle, and plate" "a square of plan

a priest walked up and down chanting
and scattering flowers. These said
flowers, by the way must be picked by
a Brahman and they must be those
which are facing the sun. This cere-
rony over, one Of the clerks went to
each man and gave him about two
ounces of dry raw rice and told him to
chew 1t to pulp. Then commenced
what looked like a chewing match.

The Natural Way and the Conventional
Peso In Art.
How does a horse gallop? Owing to
the rapNity Of action it cannot be seen
BY the human eye. However, just AS
the individual spekes Of rapidly re-
yOlving wheel can be made visible By
a fash Of lightning. so the action OF a
galoping horse can be and has been
analysed by instantaneous photogra-
ply.
The ststuette of Sysonby. the thor.
oughbred. has been made from photo
grtsphs taken at the instant when all
four legs are of the ground. The back
is arched, the hind feet are directed
forward. the fore feet backward. so
that all are tucked under the animals
body.
When the limbs again touch the
ground the first to do so is one OF the
hind feet. which ~ thrust far forward
so as to form an acute angle with the
line Of the body and thus serve the
purpose Of spring In breaking the
force of the impact OF the hOof when
the horse Ia going at top speed.
In the conventional mode OF repre-
senting galloping horse all four legs
are of the ground Mt once. but the
front pair are extended backward iii
such q way that the undersurfaces or
their hoofs are directed skyward. the
body being at the same time brought
near the ground. This conventions!
pose appears to have been derived from
dog running. when the front and
hind pairs Of legs are respectively ex-
tended forward and backward. with
the soles Of the hind feet turned up

This pose. 1t is thought, was adopt
ed to represent the gallop Of the horse

The Moods of Musicians.

Before the moods Of genius the
world must ever bow in awe. for Is it
not to the hayward wanderings from
the normal that inspiration itself IS
due? says a writer in London Lady.
The gloomy moods Of Beethoven are
traditional. but every time they en-
wrapped his spirit there flowed from
his pen the most noble of scores.
Turning TO Schubert. we find that lt
was in the gay moods of the German
inn that his genius worked. Under
their sway the "Serenade" and many
other immortal themes were penned
on q tavern table, any scraps OF paper
being used that came to hand. Pa
ganini was so wholly the victim OF
moods that it was no unusual thing
for an audience to wait in vain for his
contribution TO a concert program.
When due TO appear some fantasy or
the moment would impel him to re-
main in his poverty stricken room,
grimly toying with the instrument
which should have been moving his
hearers to tears.

The Earwiu.

There is no insect which has puzzled
naturalists as to. its proper c'asslnca-
ton more than the earwig. Some have
asserted that 1t belongs TO the beetles.
Of which it is an "aberrant type. o'h-
ers that it is connected with the grass
hoppers. HveD about its very name
there has been endless discussion.
Some have thought the name earwig
is the result Of the creatures supposed
habit Of getting into the ears. while
others are equally certain that it is
derived from the original name. which
they say was carving. from the fact
that the wing when spread resembles
the human ear At all events. one
thing is certRin-the earwig as we
know it now is survival OF an early
type Of which almost every other men,

HOME ECONOMICS.

1t is astonishing how few house
holds know the real cost of many
of the items going to make up their
household expenses. They figure
accurately the cost of everything
connected with their business but
seldom take account of the cost OF
living, which for most of us is the
largest item of all: as an illustra-
ton we may refer to the ordinary
kerosine lamp. 1t will surprise
most people to learn that an oil
lamp costs from Sl.OO to So 90 per
month. In fact no form of light
ing is more expensive, more dam
gerous and less satisfactory. except
possibly tallow candle. Burning
one pint of oil night, the oil alone
will cost 75c per month. The cost
of cleaning and filling at l0c per
hour for labor, and quarter of an
hour per lamp each morning, will
amount to equally as much. To
this must be added the cost of the
chimneys and wicks, to say nothing
of the lamps which wear out. While
some LAM may not be so expen-
sive, yet in order to get really
good light you must use a Roches-
ter or similar burner which will con-
sumo double the quantity of oil and
be much more expensive. Some
may say that the labor does not
cost anything, but we seldom get
something for nothing, and it is a
poor sort of man who will not admit
that his wife's time is not worth
more thanl0c per hour. Any woman
knows that cleaning lamps is the
dirtiest and most disagreeable work
they have, and worth far more
than two and one-half cents per
lamp.

Perhaps this IS little startling; 1t IS
none the less true. TO enlarge upon
it. certain spiders prey upon certain
caterpilars, regularly inhabit their
abodes and kill so many of them that
often whole colonies of the insects are
wiped out Of existence. These cater
pillars normally feed upon the leaves
