A few years ago price we kept quite an accurate account of tvhere what the lambs ate, for then it was siness essential that we should, for we were as a treading on uncertain ground. Of late ; , well we have not kept so accurate an acidver count of things. Here, roughly, is aying what we have done. The lambs were Iways bought in November on the Chicago ccord- market. There were two lots; one tering weighed forty-seven anil a half and Imira- the other fiftj*-four pounds on the avknow erage. We put them on feed as usual i im- in the sheds, giving alfalfa hay alone of a for some days, then alfalfa hay with polled a little corn silage added. The corn man silage was made from well ripened ough, corn, so that it had on it a good deal liable of grain and was not much acid. The little corn silage and alfalfa hay formed the lat is main ration until about Christmas, when they were carefully introduced to ear corn.

Soiling Dairy Cotrg. eased Soiling is that system of feeding your eattle in which the animals are deprived of pasturage and kept in small when jnclosures, food of every kind being brought to them. It especially applies pure tije system of cutting and bringing jt let cattle roughage in a green state, sh It. rpfjg process began in Europe, and had occur a very catnral development. First the Rn<* cattle were tethered and allowed to ^uar" pasture within a certain circle indicated by the rope that held them. As stock devoured tie green herbage grow-1 using }ng -within this circle, the herdsman cut and brought to them grass and other * . food plants from fields in which the chmg cattie would not be allowed to go. The l* Europeans early conceived the idea ^ that on the recently tilled soils produca ing grass, and a heavy growth of it, a the tramping of the cattle would comrel ywnf lha CAII on/1 mnl-A %AiV ?UII uuu uuiac ll UUplUUUUi:>C by causing the soil particles to pack so closely together that no air could bo admitted. The land had by that ? tlie time become so valuable and the holdeems jngs farmers so smail that they lifter- conI(j not aff0rd to lose the use of a sinu^on gle foot of it. The European herdsman1 erflhl in tbe ^est Portions of Europe e . learned from experience that he could fairly rajse more grass on a piece of land p. 'by keeping it in meadow than by al 1 . lowing it to be used as pasture. This >se in was jn ^ue to fact jje would not cut his grass until it was soon at a ^vhere it would produce the ? " best weight per acre. The roots of xceP* such grass struck deeply and drew S- nourishment from a thicker layer of ?? i ! soil tlian tlje pasture grasses that were ,ar J kept fed close to the ground. It will -for; thus be seen that the soiling system has developed as a natural result of ? the increased value of land. ngx.?- The practice is old in Eurone. but it is new in the United States,/especially ^ f e ill the West. Only on our most in,. tensively cultivated farms is it being f ' used to-day. Generally it is introduced . r for the purpose of relieving the pastut ion ture laD(i from useless Pasturage and j.j adding to the amount of land than can Tainst In some cases it i6 employed f the because Pastures are too far from the barns to make pasturing advisable. ibune _ . r. .

This season it is being 6bown in even unprecedented beanty and design, but is essentially the same altogether satisfactory little garment, which is so pronounced r favorite. This one is quite novel and includes a vest and revers, which allow of various jombinations. In the case of the mode] Tucked Princes: the material for the coat itself is coral red broadcloth, the revers, helt and <juffs are of velvet and the trimming is a heavy lace applique, while the little waistc6at and the buttons are of carved gilt. There are, however, a great many suitings which can be utilized, anything that is sufficiently light in weight to be tucked with success being appropriate. Chiffon velvet and chiffon velveteen are exceeding fashionable, and the many cloths and novelties are suitable. The coat Is made with fronts and back and is tucked after a most becoming manner. The lining is smooth and is faced at the front edges to form the vest, while the revers are separate and joined to the coat. At the neck is 5i nnito nnvpl collar which is nartod at the back, and the sleeves allow a choice of three-quarter or full fength. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four yards twentyone. two yards forty-four or one and a half yards fifty-two inches wide, with five-eighth yards any width for the vest, one yard of velvet for rovers, collar and cuffs and three yards of silk for lining. Done In Brown.' Very effective is a brown broadcloth redingote suit, the coat of which reaches to within four inches of the edge of the walking skirt. The skirt is lined throughout with white taffeta, and it buttons up (single breasted) with a dozen velvet buttons trimmed with silver, in the dark antique effect. It is open up the back of the skirts nearly to the waist line, and is fitted with three tabs and thre^ buttons by which it may be fastened together. It has hip pockets, this jaunty garment, and stitched velvet facings finish the collar and cuffs. An inlaying of white broadcloth further adorns the collar. The seams of this garment, which at the front replace the darts, are carried straight up to the shoulders, and the corresponding seams in the back of course join them exactly. This suit is altogether smart and tailory in effect. Marabon. Fluffy, filmy, dainty, becoming, and less expensive than ostrich is the marabou, that softest and most exquisite part of the adjutant's plumage, for tbc marabou is the African variety of thf adjutant.

AHO ! equany us imijunuui v.uuoiuci?uw t, For several decades the census flgu i- show that the cities have been [- creasing much faster in populat f than the country. Much of the b n brain and brawn from the farm is t- ing to the cities because- of the Isc tion of farm life. Man is a soc creature, and if he can't get asso< tion in one place he will seek it in v other. The wealth of the nation j. pends largely upon the farmers. T1 i are the wealth-creators, and if 1 would increase our farm products f ^ improve the land we must keep < j young men at home instead of send thein to the cities-. The way to stroy the isolation of farm life now discouraging to young men is to bu good roads. Many young people In 1 country are deprived of fair educat because of bad roads leading to * sehoolhouses, and because bad roi 3 render impossible the consolidat and bettering of the schools that accessible. Good roads would get m of the boys and girls in school, f lessen the average of illiteracy in m i of the States of the Union. Bad roj ' keep thousands from attending chu ) and Sabbath-school, and thus arc ba? against civilization and the spr< of the Christian religion. Good roj are needed to make life desirable uj the farm, to increase the average intelligence by putting people In cl , touch with the world and each otl and for the advancement of educat and for Christianity.

Thus ] time and experience proven that Ic systems are inadequate, are failui We can have good roads only when expense of building and maintain them is somewhat equally distrbul AH the people contribute to the ! tional Treasury, because the moi in the Treasury is largely derived fr taxes on consumption. Rational to good roads, as provided in Brownlow-Latimer bill, promises only solution of the question, and solution of the question is a . .atlc obligation.

Experience has hai borne out the phopheey. It was gotten that the automobile propels self by pushing backward with lower surface of its rear tires agai the surface of the road, and that force thus exerted, in the case of larger machines and when mov.ing high speed, is far from small amount.
