Why Qnimby Swore 011'.
Jack Quimby awoke with a bad headache.
This was no new sensation to Mr. Quiniby.
It was old as the eternal hills, for Jack was
a bibulous soul, and his head was not pro-
portibnatc to his inclination for strong waters.
He loved drink, not for his own sake. bill
for the mad merrimeut the in)“ PmVOde,
the song, the jest, and the :uichott‘. the
maudlin fraternal embrace, and the pledges
of everlasting friendship. IIc occupied a
responsible position in a Front street office—
fOl' despite his deep and insatiable thirst,
Quimby was an excellent man of business. "
“I look," said Mr. Quimby,v,as he ruefully
surveyed his crimson equatenauce in a hand-
glass, “I look like a b’iled owl; or the last
run of shad; or the breaking rp.of.a hard
winter. This won’t do; I'll have to swear
off, or the cold and silent grave will soon
claim this manly form for its own,” and
Jack’s eyes suffused with tears, for too fumes
of the last round of night caps were by no
means dissipated. '
“There never was a better Christian ruined
by drink than the undersigned," he continu-
ed, and then, as his eyes lit on the bottle on
the bureau, be said, with a deep sign of grat-
itude, ”Thank heavcr, there is a shifter ‘1‘.)
brace up on."
Mr. Quimby’s toilet was slow and painfifl
this morning. He looked at the cold water
with a shudder. but finally worked himself
up to the washing point. He was along time
in getting his collar buttoned, he dare not
shave, though he usually performed that of-
ficc every day, and he marked with a groan
that a new pimple had taken its place on his
forehead.
“Clearly," said Quimby, “I must swear off
There are only five days left of December.
Then the new year and piety,” and lnucli
consoled by the self-promised reform, he left
his room to make a feeble apology for a
breakfast. A few hours later and Mr.
Quimby was himself again. It had taken
much artificial aid to bring his restoration
about, but Mr. Quimby played the good
Samaritan to himself with the moat liberal
cheerfulness. “A hair of the dog" was one
of his most cherished maxims. The trouble
was that he began with the hair, .and usually
concluded with the whole hide; Two young
and pretty girls sat if) a handsome mansion
on California street. It’was not Nob hill, but
near enough to breate the aristocratic atmos-
phere of that locality. One, a blonde, was
making a mouchoir cast for a New Year’s
present, and on the lid her fair fingers were
embroidering the initials J. B.
“I cannot imagine how you endure that
fellow, Alice,” said the other. “He never
comes near. me without reminding me of a
spice factory. Why, hé must exist on cloves,
and cinnamon, and that sort of thing. I am
sure he drinks. I have heard him talk so
strangely, and one night he began a song
and burst Out crying in the middle of it. He
could hardly walk. Bob said it was his
emotions, but I am sure it was whiskey or
some horrid drink.”
“Nonsense,” said Alice Benton. “Jack is
so finely strung that the least thing affects
him. Jack is a dear fellow, is Jack. So
good hearted and clever. They adore hint at
the club."
“Perhaps so,” rejoined her friend,” but it
must take a fortune to keep him in cloves.
By-by. I must get down town to match that
lace.” And with one of those natty little
love.-you-for-your-niother kisses the girls ex-
change Bessie Morris skipped away.
Alice put another stitch in the curl of the
J, and examined it. critically. Then she
sighed, put her work aside, and fell into a lit
of dejected musing. “Jack does drink so
.horridly,” she said, "I wish 1 was not fond
of him. 1 am running a fearful risk, they
tell me, in marrying him. But what can I
do? I cannot give him up; I would not if I
could. And I cannot reform him.” And
Alice, in true feminine fashion, began to
cry.
“Tears, idle tears, I know not what ye
mean," cried a merry voice in her ear, and a
tall, manly young fellow caught away-her
hands, and laughed heartily at her look‘ of
distress. “How now, coz,” he said sooth-
ingly, "What has gone wrong? Are there to
be no calls this year ? Does the stern papa
legislate that the basket shall be hung on the
outer wall, and no beau allowed to taste our
cake and wine? Out With it. Tell me all,
and by yonder drowsy policeman on the co:-
ner I swear to right your wrongs."
“0h, Charley,” said his cousin, "ll. is all
about Jack. You know his irregular habits
—that’s what you men call it, I believe. I
. must make him stop drinking. Charley,
dear, you are a man; do give me some ad-
vice."
Charley grew grave in a moment. “You
are right, Alice,” he said. “We must put
our heads together to save Jack Quimby,
and if for your sake aionc, dear girl I shall'su
awake all nightaud think how it can be done.”
“If it can be done, Charley will do it," said
Alice, cheerfully. “0 Jack, Jack, if you
could but understand how much trouble you
are giving us.”
Jack Quimby saw the old year out and the
new year in according to the usual fashion of
such ceremonies. And he awoke with the
same old' head, only intensified by deeper and
more varied potations. ,While he was delib-

up at all or not, a knock came at his door, Quimby made her a very humble bow, and The offspring ofthe thoroughbred, and grade

When Jack Quimby awoke on the secoiid
day of the year he had a vague idea that lie
was on the threshold of spontaneous combus
tion. “Never,” be groancd‘, “were my cop-
pers so infernally hot before. If I do not join
some temperance legion cre the day is th-r I
an) a lost man.” Despite these reflections
Mr. Quimby dressed himself and after ii
good round of stiff cocktails, walked to‘ his
office and fell into the regular business
groove.
“Quimliy,” said the senior partner of the
firm, “I want that invoice made out by 10
o'clogk.” .
“All right, sir, am atflwork on it now."
“Somebody for you, Mr. Quimbv," cried
the messenger boy, bursting into the private
ofilce. - ' i‘ “ I '
“Show him in," said Quimby. A tall,
gaunt individual followed the boy, and fix-
ing a stony glanc‘c on Jack, took a vacant
chair. ‘ "
“Of course you know who I am, Mr.
Quiinby'?"
“I’m blessed if I do," replied J ack, after a
close scrutiny ; “never saw you before in my
life that I can remember.”
“My name," saidithe visitor, “is Eutropius
BroWn, and I have brought you the coffin you
ordered last evening. If you show me to the
deceased, Mr Quiinby, I will arrange every-
thing without further delay. I believe you
remarked the corpse had been already two
days on the ice."
Quimby looked at his visitor aghast, and
then darted to the window. Sure enough,’
there stood a black wagon outside the door.
“My dear sir,” he said, “there is nobody
dead in this house. This is a business house,
and you are quite mistaken about the ad-
dress. I nevcr ordered a coffin from you.
I’ve got no one to bury, ‘and—and, it strikes
me," added-Jack, growing desperate, “that
you. are altogether in error—in fact that you
are not quite right in your mind.”
“Is not your name John Quimby ?"
“It is; I'm Quimby; but, great heavens, I
have no use for an undertaker.”
"Then why," said Brown in an excited
voice, “why did ygu come lastlnight to my
establishment and ring the night bell ? Why
did you tell me to'bring along, the first thing
in the rnorniug, the hobbiest casket in the
shop? Do you think that is fair treatment
for a decent undertaker, Mr. Quimby? Do
you tliink—-—” ‘
“For the Lord’s sake, be quiet,” grasped
Jack. "Here are $5 for a New Year’s pres-
ent. Say no more about it. Take your casket
back and I will call on you this afternoon
and square up the balance. Don’t you see I
that I was not myself when I spoke to you
about that interment? Now, go away, like
a good fellow," and Jack pushed Mr. Brown
out and silt down again to his invoices with
a heavy heart.
“How full I must have been l" he mutter-
ed. “To order a coffin; why that’s the worst
I ever did. I wish I could remember some-
thing about what hgppeued after I left Ben-
ton’s. But I can’t; ’tis no use."
“Gentleman wants to see Mr. Quimby,”
shrieked the messenger.
cried a short, stout man with a bull neck.
Just 10:30. Come to give you your lesson
as per contract," and swinging a sack from
his back he took out a set of boxing gloves
and smiled complacently at the astonished
Q-iiniby.
"What the devil are you doing here?"
j‘tctllutcti that individual, as soon as he re-
ovcl'cd his breath. -
“Your boxing lesson, Mr. Quimby. Con—
tract drawn up, sir, last night. Signed in
the presence of Mr. Elmore. Rome from 10
to 12 every day, at this ofilce. See for yodr-
self." And tlic pugilist handed'Jack a paper
on which his own signature appeared.
“Here’s $537 said Quimby; “take it for
your trouble, Mr. Slogcm, and .come about
the latter part of next week." And as the
puglist put his gloves away and walked of!
Jack clasped his hands about his head and
fell into a train of serious thought.
“I've been off," he‘said, "but never so ofl
as I was yesterday; A cofiln and boxing
lessons—Where the deuce could I have been
anyhow !” .
“Let the in; I must see him! Damn him!
I‘ll kill him, the cowardly scoundrel! He
insulted my wife! I say let me in; I’ll have
his life!” The voice and the scnflle were
iulside Mr. Quimby’s door.
“Impossible, sir, impossible. Mr. Qviimby
is agentieman, and never knowingly insulted
any one.” '
This was quire enough for Jack. He felt
a cold chill all over. and, Seizing his cane and
hat, shot down a side entrance.
“Where are you going, Mr. Quimby ?”
asked a porter.
“To hell !” shouted Jack. “The Whole
world is coming here with coffins, and boxing
gloves, and insulted wives. I’m crazy—
plum crazy. Out of my way,or I’ll kill you I”
And the wretched man darted into the
street, sprang into ti. hack, and fell back on
the seat in a condition of complete exhaus-
tion.
On the 3d day of January Miss Alice Ben-
ton was informed that Mr. John Quimby
craved an audience of her. _

Mir. GuniiriiAN.~—I received some time ago
a. letter from your Secretary, requesting
some of our Members to prepare a SilOl‘l.‘
paper on “Feeding Cattle. Feeding for
Growth, Feeding for Flesh, and for Milk,”
to be read before your meeting on this
Washington’s birthday. I have undertaken
the task.- Friends, this is a subject in which
we as farmers are (or should be.) deeply in-
terested. It is perhaps second to none. We
are many of us toiling the summer through
from morn till night, earning and saving
all. But giving these hard earned dollars in
shape of feed to our stock and reaping but
dimes for this investment. Can we afford
this ? If we are so feeding at random ; must
we not study this matter more closely?
Because our-fathers and grandfathers (re-
spect for thcin,) have done their work as
best they knew how.—aiid possibly in their
time—-—as best they could, at any rate as best
they (lid; should we not improve ? Is it not
our duty? Must we follow the usages of
50 years ago? We cannot if we wish. But.
some will say, "oh! many things are not
known or establishedyet in seeking.” Surely
this is so, it may never all be known, but, let
us improve what we can know, and so even
be benefitted by that. There is perhaps not
a branch of farming of more interest and
importance than the knowledge required to
be able to feed more economically. We are
satisfied there are 1,008 bushels of grain
thrown away every year as far as the desired
object is obtained, and all not from negli-
gence, but from misapplication, and to our
loss, like many other leaks of the farm ; but
which are perhaps not solcostiy. It is known
that a certain amount of food is required for
the animals support the wastes of the body
which is constantly going on. If we desire
something more, we must supply the fuel.
Of what this feed shall consist'is to be de-
termined by the result,,or product you wish ,
produced.’ If you wish milk or butter, or
fat, you certainly should study What is best
to feed, to accomplish each individual pro-
duct. Differcnt localities and circumstances
may control you somewhat, but even than
we must use judgment in choosing, for if
you donot, waste find loss to sure toiollow.
Dr. Sturtevant says: “It is a fact worthy
of attention that the feeding of meals and
other concentrated food may bring profit to.
the owners of superior animals; yet fed the
same to inferior ones would be surely done
at a loss. Therefore improvement in breed
should go§hand in hand with feed.” “So
also every cow has a structural limit, and in
the superior it is fixed at a greater distance
from three ordinary feed, and also more
ready to respond to stimuli than the inferior.
The former is seldom fed to her limit, but
the latter more easily so.” Says Prof.
Brewer, “Different localities, as Well as dif-
ferent uses, demand different breeds.”
You will hardly expect me to describe the
perfect anatomy of the animals of which I
am to speak, yet it does seem important for
us to understand, or have some idea of the

etc., thereby enabling him to know why
and how certain causes produce certain re-
sults. So with us, we should understand
somewhat the peculiar formation and con-
slruction of the animal with which we have
to deal. We should certainly know how cer-
tain results are brought about in order to best
accomplish them. We know we are told a
comparative study is beneficial, and no doubt t
it is a fact, but in this We learn that man is
i
like a man, because of reason—one is of flesh
eating, the other herbivorous. One a reini-
nant, the other not. The ox or cow has four
stomachs, man a lesser number. Yefitherc is
some similarity between the two- I have
said the cow has four distinct stomachs.

(Chas. B. Meehener, Veterinary Surgeon of
N. J.) as to receive a large quantity of veg-

pellets which the animal raises to be chewed
again; after which it is swallowed into the
third, and then passing to the fourth, when
it is finally digested. The first point I shall

breed or obtain no one animal that will fill
the best requirements of beef making, milk

as 'much so for a race horse to draw many
tons, or the heavy drays to pass around a
mile track in 2:14 or less. You must not ex-
pect it, if you do you won’t get it.
It would not seem important to discuss
the advisability of a good and proper selec-
tion of. the best breeds adapted to our pur
pose, but for fear we have some among us
(we have them oil around lus) who may say'
and think the “breed is in the mouth,”
“give'mc the animal I don’t care for the
breed", and “I’ve seen just as good cows of
our native stock as blooded." I Cannot pass

to-day and you not up yet," and they dragged
the unfortunate roysterer. from his bed, and
watched his hurried efforts at dressing with
uproario‘us mirth.
It was quite late in the evening before the
Quimby carriage halted before Judge Ben-
tou’s door. Alice has been anxiously ex-
pecting him all day, but when a gush of
cloves preceded his entrance her heart sank
within her, Jack felt the importance of pre-
senting a sober appearance, and his bow was
cold, almost stern, and full of preteruatursl,
gravity. ' A '
“I wish you, Miss Benton, the compliments
of the season," he said, in slow and deliberate
accents. There was not a solitary “r” in this
sentence. for Mr. Quimby knew from past
experience the dangers surrounding that con-
sonant at this stage of the proceedings.
"Judge. I am delighted to see you looking so.-
well," audible timethe bow was directed to
a stiff high-backed chair, an heir loonisin
the Benton family. j _ 1

pered Alice, after greeting his friends. “Oh,
you wicked boy ! What’s the matter wiili your
eyes? And your necktie has slippai up un-
der your car. How your glovus arc stained
with claret 1"
Half an hour later Mr. Quimby was sup-
ported to his carriage, and Alice registered a
solemn vow that unless her cousin’s planwas
conclusively and permanently effective she
would never be Mrs. Quimby, if she had to
live and die an old maid. On the evening
of Mr. IQuimby’s call half a-dozen young fel—
lows sat together in the privilte rooms of a
well-known restaurant. Alice Bentou’s cousin
was chairman. .
“Boys," he said, “we must all of us make
a raid upon Quimby'to‘gmorrow. You, Jack,

“Certainly you did, Jack; and sangg song,

“Remember? yes quite well—at least I

“On what will you swear, Jack? 'Now,
mind you, this is a serious matter. You
never acknowledged before that such neces
sity evisted. Shall I get the Bible '1’”
“I‘ll swear on your lips, sweetheart," said
Mr. Quimby, gallantly, and right lustily did
he take the oath. “It's high time, darling."
he continued, ‘twli'en: {than mistakes an un-

over the country is that the best cows for

it be remembered says good authority, if
beef or milk be your objects, geodgrades

Mr. Pliney Nichols (it Well known breeder
in' the west), states, “Results in Cuiclgi

of Massachusetts, says, "The formation of
fat, or the tendency to produce meat, and
profitable production-of milk, may be largely‘
increased by that of high breeding," and it is
well known among farmers, in all classes of
stock, a strong disposition to accumulate
fat, is commonly attended by a marked da-

lot to be treated like a cow or a cow exactly k
will wish to dispute the above facts, and we
shall take it for granted that the desirability
of the various breeds, as Jersey for butter,
Durhams for beef, is almost beyond a ques-
tion; or that good grades of the above are
much more profitable than natives; and re-
quire less food (proved by experiment) on
account of breed. 1 shall pass a discription
even of the relative merits of these different
breeds. I have only alluded to them iisI
have told you (let me indirectly repeat it) to
bring about a requisite to accomplish a cer-
tain purpose most successfully. So start
right is even success.— In mauylplaces stock
raising is one business and stock feeding
another; but here, generally it is combined,
and we are compelled to study both. The
profitableness of keeping steers over three
years of age is at a dispute ; but the range is
between two and four. It is believed, and
my observations has taught me, that the color
of the hair has nothing to do with its fatten-
ing qualities. But a cow will not command
into from five to ten, or more dollars on ac-
count of color; a pure white is perhaps the
most objectionable.
Gardner S. Fassett of Vermont, has said,
“a goodjcow may cost too much; a poor yoke
always does.” Now, again, how are we
going to talk intelligently, so that we may
understand each other, unless we apply the
the names that have been chosen, to call the
different properties which the animal ma-
chine extracts, from the food generally given
them, for their support, etc. And which
have been called first, albunoids which sup-
plies (we are told) muscles, tendons, etc.,
while Garbo-hydrates (unlike the above con-
tain no Nitrogen) but fiber or cellulose,
starch, sugar, gum, etc. ; and these throwing
off their carbon supply of working power to
the animal machine. And lastly fat. or
this Prof. Johnson remarks, "Fat is believed
to 'have the same nutritive function all
carbhydrates; and 1 of fat equals 2-4 of
the latter. He also intimates if not tells us
a “farmer can decide the worth of feeding
stuff, or approximate to it, by finding its
chemical analysis, and so fixing its nutritive
value, and thus be able to substitute one feed
for another; which may be more convenient
for him to use. Fisrt find the amount of di.
gestible albunoids which is estimated by
Wolff in Germany (and ore said to compare
favorably with our market) at 43) cents per
lb; fat the same;'whila carbhydrates are
worth but 9-10 of 1 per cent. per lb. Tho
former estimation, and because of excoedo
the latter these ingredients being mojkare.
Dr. Jas. R. Nschols has said, it is absurd to
supplies :from cows; or that cattle can be
fattened by the use of forms of food, which
chemistry proves do not contain the sick
elements of nutrition; as to dream of fertil-
izing fields with dung destitute of those salts
which plants require.
It is estimated that for each 1,0001bs.,
an animal will not digest moro than about 25
lbs. of dry matter. In the “Observations
on the Feeding of Milch Cows,” by Prof. H.
P. Armsby, on four different herds, (the let

fed too heavy your animal may refuse the

this to occur in warm, bad Weather), when
you must apply your judgment and change
his feed; when his appetite will be restored.
If your animal is in stall, (for I intended my
talk to .apply to the winter, season gener-
ally) if easy, excrements healthy in appear-
ance, (moderately soft and light color), your
food relished, while if'you will give a supply

feed for rapid fatness. And now, how feed
for milk ? We have gained what there is in
breed. and now how shall we gain in the
feed? A .milch cow requires double the
quantity of albunoids that an 0x at rest does.
It takessome time for us to become familiar
with’ the rules, with experience, to be able to
exactly fix the right proportion of the cheap-
est and best mixture to feed ; but' this must
be sought to be certain of the least loss. A
cow will consume, of good hay, about 8 per
cent. of her live weight,.daily, to support
life, and repair waste. Good buy contiiins
1 of albuminoids to 5 of carbhytlrates, and so
in this proportion of any feed less is undi-
gestible and consequently less waste. Clover,
'ho‘Wever, contains 1 to 2, and of course if fed
alone Iwrd is a waste. The albumiuoids ex-
ceed the amount required. Wheat straw is
1 to 15, and if fed alone contains more car-
bhydrates than is necessary; and to make a
cow enough to get the desired albunoids some
concentrated food must be added or less
straw. To be sure the former would be con-
verted into the latter, but this is expensive
for the'anim'al. It is found that a cow fed
on clover hay alone will not give as much as
on a diet of a small supply of straw'iind clo~
ver. What is the lesson learned? It is to
feed economically; use concentrated albu-
noids and use up our straw stalks and coarse
fodder. * We will commence with the heifer
coming in. Prof. Arnold tells us a heifer or
cow at this time should not be fed with fat
forming or stimulating food, (corn meal or
oil meal the worst), but that of flesh forming,
as early-cut clover, bran, shorts, etc; After
a' while in milk we can feed with less danger,
for this ”fat formed goes readily into the milk,
Ayershirc for milk, Droons for Yoke, and
avoiding the accumulation of milk cells in
the udder, and inflammation obviated. How‘
well this agrees with my experience; he
could not have experienced it better; Fine
wheat feed fed to com in milk,'p'rodnccs
good results, 4 quarts and 1 pint of ’ meal is'
generally enough, with what good buy they
will eat. But the some of meal less wheat
feed and about one quart of cotton seed meal
with a few pounds of straw with hay would
answer the purpose as well. "About a year
ago I procured some rice feed and unfit to
Prof. Johnson. He analyzed it, and sent it
to me, with a report that it would be as good
to feed as oats or corn meal. I have'fou‘nd
it very valuable. For milk, feed more large-
ly of those grains, or feed that which contain
a greater per cent. of albunoido. “But there is
a limit to this. Some milkmen are breeding
for good quality of milk 4 quarts corn meal
and 8 quarts common bran wet over night,
with a basket of cornstalks cut, and one of
hay per day. I don't call this economical
'feoding. ‘
I am told that Mr. McCready, your pOpil-
lar breeder of J erseys, which brings such
fabulous prices, says. for butter, feed corn-
meal (raised iii New England) is the best feed
he can get. . We should beg to add a better
food would be a variety of grains‘even for
butter. . -
Mr. Gold’s feed, as decided byProf. Arms-
by, was, and probably is new $th

.and new process linseed meal into. .
Mr. Norton’s feed mixture 1 composed,

told fine or coarse), about 16 “met hay, sowed

pints of meal and 2-.) pints .of wheat bran.

product, I have had much trouble. We have
a lull] making alarge quintity each year, and
it is dumped in a swamp to (filmy. Isus-
post it is not adding to the health of our com-
munity, and it seems to be a waste. 1 have
experimented with it for fertilizing purposes,-
and find not value enough to pay cost of’
handling; but for feeding I am' more con-
vinced of its value. Prof. Johnson says of
it, analysis shows it to be superior to corn
and his suggestion of a trial ofeusilage po-
mace would be interesting. .
Buckwheat bran as it should be, is an ex-
cellent feeding stuff. But there are many
grades of this. A short time ago I bought
some, and found it over 4}; hulls, andg'when'
changing my cows from ricegfced, they al—n
most refused it, probably from the cause of‘
the bulls not being agreeable to! their teeth.:
There is no doubt that brewers’ grains are a
cheap feeding stuff, and if fed judiciously,
will produce no ill results; but many dairy-
men feed them too largely for their cow’s
good and a good quality of mflk. Cotton
fat and albunoids as corn mealfbut should.
not be fed alone. I shall not take-up the
practibility of soiling in this section. For
some specially situated it may do, but We
have generally rough pastures and broken
fields, low lands, e'c.,'which we must utilize,
our meadows instead. Of course I would
say, raise corn or clover, or both, to bridge
the dry spell, so usual among us in summer.
It is estimated that a milch
cow requires nearly twice as much abuuoidl
and about the same of carbhydrates, (or
for cows in milk is also estimated at 1 lb. of
albuminoids to every 6 of carbhydratcs. At
the trial, by Prof. Armsby, on the 4 milk
it does not contain too much water, which
usually contains about-31 its weight ; but even
their figures, according to analysis, (about)
as it’s worth $8.50 per ton. Prof. Johnson
also says it is a cheap and excellent fodder.
If meal is fed liberally, too often gargct fol-
lows. Mr. Webb of the State Board recom-
mends a cheap and productive feed for Win-
ter months. For milk 14% lbs. bay, 8 lbs.
cornstalks, 1 quart of cotton seed meal. and
4 quarts of bran per day, mixed, and wet
with boiling Water. There is no doubt hot
or boiling water added to grain adds to its
digestibility, and if fed thin and warm the
more milk is produced. Prof. Arnold says:
The water a cow drinks should be of the
same temperature as her blood, (100°), or
else she has to reduce it to that temperature
herself. Another good authority asserts that
if a cow drinks say, 120 lbs. daily at 32° or
freezing, the loss in nutritive material would
be equal to 4 lbs. of hay, and had it mu of
her stomach’s temperature it would have
yielded 1:} lbs.- of milk. Give it atttated in-
tervals. .
I shall not attempt to discuss the disagree-
ment of physiologists as to the formation of
milk; we know it flows and our study is to
know how to make it flow freely. It is not
only important to be careful in your selection
of feed, but quite as important to establish a
regularity in feeding. Don't let me forget to
tell you to place salt where all ;your stock
can get it themselves.
The temperature of the stable should never
be under 40° or over 70°. I find in Ger-
at 41° to 50°. The first ten days at 41° they
lost in weight 22 lbs. At 56°, gained 85 lbs.,
'corn meal or other fat producing food. If at 59° loss 0, at 65° loss 33 lbs. Can't we
learn something from thia.’ The Miller plan
of feeding does not seem rational to me, and
as it is not extensively practiced, (and 1 pre-
sume never will). I call it a novelty and
pass it. Here, I am satisfied, is one of our
great losses—that is, our grain feed is ground
too coarse. Prof. Johnson says: Softness
and fineness or foed are favorable to ready
and complete digestion. Dr. J. R. Nichols:
There is a positive loss in feeding coarsely
ground feed of any kind, especially where
cob is ground with corn. 0n feeding corn
and cob, I will detain you but little, and say
I hope and do practice feeding it, and am sat-
with its results. It corrects the disad-
vantages 'arising from meal alone, and it
would be better if the cob contained 710 an—
trimont, but in this it is shown to be equal to
potatoes pound for pound. 0f booking food,
exporience'has proved that food is made
more digestible and a greater profit is real-‘
izod, but not enough to pay expense of doing
it. In selecting your food for cattle see that
they relish it, as some will not out even cot-
ton iced meal,corn starch feed, rice feed,
etc. A trial will have to be made to deter-
tormine. On prooenting onsilage to my (:0st
some of them refused it altogether, while,
some ato of it sparingly. The same at first
of cotton seed, starch and some prepared
corn cob to rice feed; I would say thoy call

And lastly, what I have said gentlemen,has
been in good faith, (knowing that some will
difior from me in some respects), and found-
ed ou my best knoWledge, experience and
observation, and if 1 have erred, itis not done
in knoWn violation of lime and facts, or to

somewhat, and if so I shall be truly paid.
Many thanks for your attention. fi

A Perfect Combination: with two Sal-

“There is no mistake about_ it,” remarked Dr.
M. F. Flowers, of Galiiitin, Missouri,“Bi~J-NSON’S
OAPOINE POROUS PLASTERS are one of the
neatcst combinations ever produced. They have
two kinds of advantages over all others, which
we may call the minor and major. First, they
are clean and pleasant to use, nchr soiling the
hands nor the iincn of“ the wearer. Second, they
act quickly and powerfully. I have tried the Cap-
ciue Plaster on myself for pneumonia, and on
my patients for various diseases. such as N enrol-
gia, Muscular Rheumatism, Lumbago. Kidney
trouble, etc., and in all cases relief has followed
in from three to forty-eight hours.”

The Rosebuds Over the Way.
BY J. KATE LUDLUH.
They call me a strange old woman—
E’cwtlric I regret to say.
For the gold that is piled in my coffers high,
Throws a halo around my way. ‘
I live in the beautiful city—
The populous, busy place!
And watch the hurrying stream of life,
Behind my curtains of lace.
Shut out from the harsh world’s coldness,
Shut in with sweet perfume and song,
I can sit and watch, unaffectod, they soy,
The busy, jostling throng.
. Ah, is it only a vision,
1 A beautiful scene that I know ?‘
But bark, and I’ll tell you a story sweet,
While falls the fairy-like snow.
I live in a marble mansion,
But over across the way,
As tho’ from a hand too fall it had dropt,
* There close to my feet it lay-—
A tiny, one-story dwelling,
Poor, but so cozy and neat!
While behind the panes so small and clear, .
Grows a blush-rose tall and sweet.
Each mom a shy little maiden
i With a face that rivals the rose,
jeans tenderly over the flowers so fair,
' While her choek like a rosebnd glows. I
Threo tiny, beautiful children
Climb round her and nod and smile
At the passers—by in the street below,
. Tho’ I know who she looks at the while.
' , ,
11, tall, broad-shouldered young fellow,
, With a face thatvie'honest and true,
And a smile that reveals the loyal heart—-
Tho’ in cities one finds-so fowl
And the eyes of Amy rosebuif fngidon—
A half-opened bad she isé:
Show the secieti‘sliotrio‘s'so hard to conceal
.From everyone’s eyes but his.
And I part my dainty curtains
. Tdmtch the look so sweot ' ,
0)! the maiden who rivals the blush-rose fair,
And the'youth ’Inid thotlfroug on the street.
And all day she'sings at horhonoework,
:Or laughs with the babies three; 7
For my neighbors are orphans, over the way;
Though very dear to me.
And at night, can I tell you the rapture
That shines from my neighbor’s face,
As she looks for her lover—and so do I
‘Bchind my satin and lace?
His face is weary withzstriving
Against the rough tide of his fate,
Bht itzlights as tho’ sunbeam had fallen
thereon, ,
As he looks for the .rosebuds who wait.
Yes,_I am a lonoly woman, A
(Weary and tired and old;
But just for oneday of a rapture like theirs,
‘I would give my lands and gold!
So, “unafiected,” they tell me,
Worn and weary and gray,
I watch-while my heart grows young again
The ro'sebuds over the Wh'yl

Coming Home at Last.
BY WILL CARLETON.
. [0n the proposed removal of the remains of
John Howard Payne to this country.]
i.
The banishment was overlong,
Butit will soon be past:
The man who wrote Home’s sweetest song
Is coming home at last-l
For years his poor abode was seen
In foreign lands alone,
And waves have thundered loud between
This singer and his own.
But he will soon be journeying
To friends across the sea;
And grander than of any king
His welcome here shall be 1
1r.
He can not come with cheerful brow,
And step of conscious pride;
He will not hear the tributes now
That fall on every side;
And when we tell him how his rich
Sad strains our hearts have sought,
He cannot tell the price at which
The yearning words were bought 1
And silently this man must come
Unto the waiting throng—
Who gave a trumpet voice to Home,
- And thrilled the world with song!
III.
Lie wandered o‘er the dreary earth,
Forgotten and alone;
He who could teach Home’s matchless worth
Ne’er had one of his own. '
’Neath winter’s cloud and summer’s sun.
Along the hilly road,
He bore his great heart, and had none
To help him with the load;
And wheresoever in his round
He went with weary tread,
His sweet pathetic song he found
Had floated on ahead!
iv.
He heard the melodies it made
Conic peeling o'er and o'er,
From royal music bands that played
Before the palace door;
He heard its gentle tones of love
From many a cottage creep,
When tender crooning mothers strove
To sing their babes to sleep;
And wheresoe’er true love bad birth
This thrilling song had flown;
But he who taught Home’s matchlcss worth
Had no home of his own!
\ v.
The banishment was overlong,
But it will soon be past ;
The man who wrote Home's sweetest song
Shall- have a honie at last!
And he shall rest where laurels wave
And fragrant grasses twine;
His sweetly kept and honored grave
Shall be a sacred shrine,
The man who sung the triumph hymn
Of earth’s diviuest love.

She was only Joking.
A man traveling on a Dakota railroad ap-
proached a pretty girl who occupied a full
seat and asked her politely if he might take
part of it.
“Seat’s engaged,” she replied, pertly. '
"Got some apples in my gripsack," ob-
served the man, scratching his chin medita-
tively. -
“Seat’s engaged," repeated the girl spread-
ing her skirts out.
“Got some nice cakes and candles,” mused
the applicant, appearing to pay no attention
to her. ~
swered With a sniff of disdain.
“Nuts and raisins, fresh sandwiches, pie,
all in the same gripsack," and the man
looked at her sideways.
“Don’t make any difference. seat‘s cn-
gaged,” and she turned to the window as
though she was tired of the subject.
"And a flask of the best whisky that ever
trickled down a woman’s gullet,” continued
the stranger.
“How did you know Iwas only fooling
about the seat being engaged ?” murmured
the Dakota girl’ her face breaking into a
wreath of smiles. “It takes a man to find
out when a woman is having her little joke."
And nobody on the train had a better time
than that man the rest of the trip.—— rake’s
