FEEDING APPLES TO COWS.
Ther/ has long been a practical
opinion among farmers that ‘ while
sw.-ot apples might be fed to cows
with satisfactory results, sour apples
were very injurious fop them; but
this opinion has been founded upon
very slight actual knowledge of the
real feeding value of apples. At the
Vermont station apple pomace, en
silaged, and used supplementary to
and in part a* a substitute for corn
ensilage, was found to be relished by
cows, and the results of four tests
found it to be about equivalent in
feeding value to corn ensilage. At the
Massachusetts station Dr. Goessmann
found apples to contain about eighty
per cent, of moisture, the apples hav
ing been gathered October 6th, The
farther advanced apples are toward*
taaturity the more sugar is found in
them, and their value depends largely
upon the amount of dry matter which
they contain. Laboratory' tests show
that the feeding value of apples ia soufe-
what higher than that of an equal
weight of turnips. Apple pomace it
said to bo equal to sugar beets, it be
ing a somewhat singular chemical fact
that the pomace is rioher in nitrogen-
• ous.matter ihantfre a^ple rom which
it has been produceo, and the feed
ing value of poraac* is assumed to
be, pound for pound, one-third high
er than that of the whole apple! Slill
apples are deficient in nitrogen, and
ought on this account to be literally
supplemented for dairy 'cows with
wheat shorts, bran, oil cakes,- clover
and good hay. To obtain the best re- f
suits fiom feeding them to cows, the
early sort should be fed by itself,
sour ones in leas quantity thau sweet
oiies, fed when Juily ripe, after the
night’s milking. The quantity should
not exceed four to six quarts to u feed.
--American Agriculturist.
COLIC IN HOUSES.
Irregular feeding iu ihe matter of
hours, long fasts and too great quan
titj given at long intervals are fre
quent causes of colic, says the New
York World, irregular work is not
without its influence -a twenty-mile
journey once a week is likely to W
productive of more mischief than the
same distance every day. A horse put
to hard work at intervals cannot be
kept iu condition. Horses ought to
be fed-lgte at night mid early in the
•7ioi'iijt>;g; they should have, at least
two libers fu consume and digest the
-Horning feed before being taken out
to work, aud if not returned to the
stable when The- 'n^xt - feed is due',
should be provided with nose bags.
Changes yf food should be intro
duced gradually. Horses may b* fed
‘with Impunity on what wiH make them
seriously ill if care is not takfn to
make the change gradhally. Thus,
ween food, when it first comes ia,
• * *
and fa young and succulent, often
causes gripe*, because fed top largely
to the exclusion of ’the' accustomed
dry material. If a smull quantity is
cut with the hay ehnft to begin w ith,
tbe horse is less greedy about it when
a larger quantity is allowed, and the
digestive organs ns gradually become
accustomed to the change. Attention
to tbe prevention of colic is much bet
ter than the possession of n recipe for
its cure, for some day the recipe misses
fire, aud death wius the match. Apart
from this, an attack successfully dealt
with still moans loss of service for
V>me time—very often at a busy
period.
EYE AS A PASrUHE CROP. / / j
I have believed for twenty-five Tears
that fa6st of us, In what is called “the
West, ” did not sufficiently appreciate
the Yalue of rye as a late fall aud early
spring pasture crop, writes E. D.
Coburn in the New York Tribune.
Where conditions are at all favorable
it furnishes an astonishing quantity of
rioh, sueeulent. grazing just qt a time
of year wjicn it iS[ifiost relished aud/
most needed by all kinds of farm uni-
malit RVen including poultry. It
pieces out to great advantage othet
feed that may Be scant op poor, and
while 'especially agreeable to all tha
atock, it will make poorly nourished
cows practically double their milk ia
quantity and quality. In f&et; I har.i
never seen a X&hsas farmer so well
fitBd Inat a good piece of rye pasturs

There has never been a season in all

that soft WAN more hi a cbnifort to its
possessor thafi it will likely be within
thfc hesi ilihe months. Hence 1 would
say to every farmer who reads thin

It is excellent in years of greatest
abundance; in years when other food

A little vaseline and carbolic acid

Producers who have formerly de
pended on ensilage rosy be obliged to
at least partially substitute grain to
make their winter dairying foff'*M9i
imd 1895 profitable.
Professor Hilberts, of Cornell, says
the great difficulty with farming is too
much or too little moisture, and too
little cultivation, thus indicating the
necessity of drainage.
Before storing articles in the cellar
take a day for the purpose, use a peck
or more of sulphur, if necessary, and
fumigate it two or three times, in order
to purify the walls, floors, ceilings
and bins.
A. W. Pope, Wellesley, Mass., says
of alfalfa: It goes down further and
comes up faster than common clover.
The quality of the hay is good, but it
is hard to cure. I get three crops
the year following the planting.
Foals should be taught to eat grain
while yet with the mares, and then the
weaning process is not so likely to
cheek their growth. Feed any spare
milk to the weanings until they get
well started on regular rations of grain
and hay.
Dairymen ahould wake up to the fact
that it is quite as easy, si a well-man
aged creamery, to make good butter
in winter as in summer. When they
realize Ihis we shall not see so many
idle establishments just at the time
when they should be running at their
tallest capacity.
It is not only unprofitable but cruel
to let milch cows wander about in
grassless fields nndef'h merciless sun.
Under such conditions keep them in a
small, shady enclosure if you have
one, and there feed them their forage
and sqe that they have plenty of cool,
pure ffater at regular intervals.
Select a bull from a good dairy
family, and then breed the very best
of your oows, feed the resulting young
sters well, and train them so that they
can bp easily haadled when you are
ready to put them in the dairy. ThU
feeding and training is a necessary
supplement to the Weeding, in ordei
to make a perfect dairy animal.
Cold weather shuts oft the egg sup
ply among poultry kei]>tt* who dc
not understand their business, and
then they cry that there is no profit in
fowls. But the wise man makes his
bouses warm and snug, feeds liberally
and a good variety of food, compels
the fowls to take exercise and reapeth
his reward in a bountiful harvest of
eggs which sell at good prices.
Perhaps you have your, dairy up to

of the cows will soon begin to get old.
Then they must go to - the butcher.
Better be raising and training somi
good heifers, whose breeding you
know, to take their places. Do nol
wait until yow have to use them, and
then buy where it comes handy.
Do not be seared out of the poultry
business because people speak' of il

THAT BAFFI.KS TU*
PHYSICIANS.
Cents Are Legal Tender.
There is one story so utterly
ridiculous that it seems incredible
that it should ever have been printed,
which in one form or another makes
the rounds of various newspapers of
the country annually. Look for it
and you will sooner or later see it
crop up again.
This tale is always based upon the
unpopularity of the one-cent pieces in
the extreme West and Southwest. In
its most common form it tells of some
Eastern traveler who attempt* to dis
pose of a hundred or. so one;oent
pieces' in Baa Francisco, El Paso or
some other place. The tradesman is
always represented as looking at them
curiously and declining them.
The writers of these senseless tales,
may have been in the West or they
may not. It matters little—their
story is pointless. They seek to
brand the mythical tradesman as of
the same category with themselves.
The cent is a legal tender ia
amounts of twonty-fi ve and less. If an
Eastern man in San Franoisco or any
where else owes a debt of twenty-five
cents and tenders twenty-five cent
pieces in settlement, the courts will
sustain him.
Of course, the coins are not popular
j in the extreme West and South, but
! ao one need carry a hundred of them
in a cigar box or anywhere else as
.useless metal. If you are in a city
that has not a United States Treasury,
go to the Postoftice,dnmp in twenty-five
c u'h and see if you will have any
difficulty in obtaining stamps or postal
cards of like amount. If one is re
fused a letter of complaint to the
postal authorities will soou work the
removal of an employe who would dis
credit United States money.
it is well to bear this matter of the
legal tender of a cent in mind. No
one for spite can make a person take
more than twenty-five of them in any
single transaction involving the set
tlement of a debt. One need have no
fear, then, of receiving-$100. in cents

the country people ronnif liboifT ns little

by the family of Mr. Croo. Aroher, a former
attac, ' of (he pqliee department of New
York City, bnt who now holis n responsible
position with the Htnndnnl Oit^Qomppy.
Mr. Archer’s family consists of his. wily, »
sprightly little woman, who presents a'filc-
turo of perfect health, and s son, twenty-
s-ven years of nge. Wo one wohM suppose

nearly nine years, and lens than two months

to ihf statements m ide by Mrs. Archer and
her relatives to a reporter who visited her
pretty home recently. ' u .

nnd while all agreed fbat the patient was

"Oh, the agony I have suffered,” said
Mis. Archer, in speaking of l|rr illness. ‘‘I
eon d not 9ulk across the floor; neither
could I go upstairs without stopping to let
tha pain in my o'n-st and inlt arth cease, 1
felt an, awful constriction about my arms
nud chest as'though I'were tied with ropes.
Then them was a tend lie noise at my right
ear, like the Intiqre l broathlugol somegreat
animal I hate often'turned expectifftf to
see some creature at my side. Tne onty re
lief I ohtsiue I was when I visited Florida
and spent several months there! On my re
turn, however, the pain bamo back with re
newed force.
' ‘"Iiast July,” Continued -Mrs. Archer, “I
was at Spciugfleiq, Jla-s., visiting, and my
mother' sh )wed me' nn necoant in the
Springfield Examiner, telling ol thy wonder-
nl cures effected by I h - use of Dr. Williams’'
Pink Pills for Pale People. My mother
urged me to try the pills, nnd on November,
-251 h Inst I bought a box and'begun takings
them, and I have taken them ever since, ex
cept for n short interval. The first box did''
not seem to benefit me, but I persevered,
encourage-1 by the requests of «y reinfives.
After beginnut; on tne second box, to my
wonder, the no se at my right ear mtsed eu-
lirrdy, I kept rigm on and the distress that
I used to feet in my chest a id nrm gradually
disappeared. Ti-e Mood has returned io my
