VARIED DIET FOR CATTLE
In Several Parts Of the World the
Feeding Of Fish and Mutton
Has Proved Of Benefit.

The use OF fish and mutton as food
for cattle is. it seems, not uncommon
in certain parts Of the world. Dry,
salt fish is fed to cattle, sheep and
horses In Shetland and Iceland. The
cattle kept for displays of strength
at the village festivals In certain Sec
lions of Madras are prepared for the
show upon q diet of mutton. And in
the same section bandicoots (the two
foot-long India rats are also often
ground up into stock food. Over sixty
years ago experiments we're carried
out at Rothamsted, the great English
agricultural experiment station, in
raising pigs upon diet Of dried New
foundland Goldfish.
The Madras fisheries bureau has re-
Gently conducted similar experiments
upon heifers. In this case controls
were maintained in the shape of an
equal lot OF heifers fed on a vegetable
diet. At the end of six months it was
found that the fish-fed heifers had In
creased 81 pounds in weight, where
as the controls on a normal diet
showed 70-pound increase. From
which 1t seems to follow that, as a
fattening ration for cattle, meat is not
desirable. The director of the Madras
station suggests, however, that In re-
gions where fish are plentiful and low
in price the surplus might to advan-
tage be used as stock food. 1t re-
Quires little time and patience to ed
ucate the cattle to the new food, but
once this is accomplished they con-
sumo 1t with apparent relish.

ECONOMIC HOURS OF STUDY
Too Many Waste Time in NegIectIng
to Recognize the Inevitable
Limitations.

It is in our pursuits themselves that
we throw away our most valuable
time. Few intellectual men have the
art of economizing the hours Of study.
The very necessity which every one
acknowledges of giving vast portions
of life to attain proficiency in any
thing makes US prodigal where we
ought to be parsimonious, and care
less where we have need of unceasing
vigilance. The best time savers are
the love OF soundness In all we learn
or do and cheerful acceptance of
Inevitable limitations. There is GER
tain point of proficiency at which an
acquisition begins to be Of use, and
unless we have the time and resolu-
ton necessary to reach that point our
labor is as completely thrown away as
that of q mechanic who began to
make an engine but never finished 1t.
It is well for every one who
desires to attain perfect economy of
time to make a list of the different
pursuits to which he has devoted him.
self, and to put note opposite to each
of them indicating the degree of its
with as little self-delusion
as may be. After having done this he
may easily ascertain in how many
Of these pursuits sufficient degree OF
is attainable for him, and
when this has been decided he may at
once effect great saving by the total
of the rest. With regard
to those which remain, and which are
to be carried farther. the next thing
to be settled is the exact limit OF
their cultivation. Nothing Is SO fav-
orable to sound culture as the definite
fixing Of limita.-Philip @. Hamerton.

MUCH Joy IN ANTICIPATION
its Stimulating Effect Seldom Given
the Credit Which It So Thor
oughiy Deserves.

Few people realize how much bene-
fit they obtain from anticipation. In
deed, were it not for it's stimulating
effect upon our minds half the joy of
living would vanish because by look
ing forward into the future and trying
to realize our pleasures and ambitions
before they actually come to us we
largely increase their happy effects
The man who is unable to anticipate
the future In any way whatever, who
sees no reason in trying to taste his
Joys beforehand, who derives no salts
faction in building upon his hopes,
misses a great deal of very wholesome
pleasure. Common sense tells him, so
he argues, that 1t is unwise to count
upon anything in this life unless it is
actually in his grasp, but then most
of US get some very real Joy at times
in acting contrary to the routine teach
ing of common sense. We do not
mean by this, Of course, that it is ever
best to ignore our better Judgment
but, even admitting the fact that an
ticipation is not always the part of
wisdom, there is no questioning the
fact that it is. very delightful to be
unwise in this way at times. If we did
not look forward to what is to come
with hearts full of hope and expec-
fancy how could we get through with
some Of the harder days of life? II
we did not depend in so large meas
ure upon our anticipations how could
we hope to overcome our discourage
ments? Anticipation is in way the
twin sister Of the zest of life Charles
ton News and Courier.

BEING GUIDED BY APPETITE
In the Case Of Normal Person There Is
Much to Be Said in Favor Of

Doctors say that this is a danger
