*<K*
Clieap Feed For Milk and Butter.
*" ' H. G. D., of Roanoke, writes:
"Please te'.l me the best feed for cows
\ to produce milk. Do you advise feeding
cottonseed meal, and in what cjuau*
tity ?"
Answer:' The Very best food for a
dairy cow is good fclnegrass. You-can
produce milk more cheaply in this way
and with less trouble than by any other
means. Of course, uiuegrass is uoi
available all tlie year, and for tlie winy
ter feeding of the' cow some substiJ
tute for grass must be found. The
/ dairy cow gives her best results when
receiving a succuicnt ration. For tliis
/ reason silage is considered one of the
f best winter feeds for cows.
Silage, as you knew, may be made
frouijcorn, sorghum, cow peas, clover
or other farm crops. The greater part
of the sil&ge used is made from corn.
This is because of the large yields obtained.'ami
the economy with which
the crop can be produced. AYhen the
corn is well eared and glazed, and some
of the lower leaves beginning to tire,
it is in condition to be put in the silo.
The silo may be constructed on the
same prfticifcle as a water tank. The
idea is to exclude the air and prevent
fermentation. The green corn is cut
Up tine and run into the silo and packed
down firmly, and will then keep for
long periods, and can be fed to cows
as needed.
When sil.'ige can not be had. roots
are often used, but root crops can not
* ? -- : ? n~ <? +t,?

M, South as fcii^ge, the cHmate does
not favor their growth as much as it
does further North. It will pay you
V ?to have a silo, if you are feeding a
* considerable iiuuiher of cows.
If you are without a silo, the question
resolved itself into some method
of feeding economically at the present
time. If you can obtain an abundance
of corn stalks to be sbrqdded or cut up,
this will furnish a fairly good roughness
for your dairy animals, provided
jrou feed along with say twenty pounds
of fodder, ten pounds of good clover
hay besides some wheat bran and cottonseed
meal. 'In order to make the
shredded stover more palatable, it may
be sprinkled with water and the meal
scattered over it and the whole mixed
together with a fork. This will necessitate
the animals eating up muen
more of tjie ^uredded stover than they
other wise# might do; and the production
of cheap milk and butter depends
very largely in making tl?> cows consume
a considerable quantity of dry
roughness, which always provides the
cheapest part of the ration. If you
cannot obtain corn stalks, you can, of
course, feed* your cows on mixed hay
~ie AffA? arnaneSvA
sum glUUI. Xtll^ la U1H11 Uii uu. . V
ration. If with your mixed hay you
can secure some clover or cow pea
iiay, It will provide a better variety
for the cow.
' As to t!ie concentrates, you may feed
wheat bran at the rate of six to eight
' pounds per day for each thousand
pounds of live weight, and to this you
may add two to four pounds of cottonseed
meal. Cottonseed meal may be
fed with perfect safety in reasonfble
quantity to dairy cows, and as it is so
rich in protein, an element which the
cow requires for the economical production
of mil!: and butter, it furnishes
a cjttap and excellent supplementary
cmicaatrate to wheat bran. If wheat
^^Aj/rau Tosts you more than $23 n ton.
can feed one-half corn and cob
meal and one-half cottonseed meal. In
this case you would not feed over six
to eight pounds of the mixture per day
to a thousand-pound cow. If you find
It difficult to secure corn meal, you can
use .one-third wheat bran, one-third
middlings and one-third cottonseed
meal to advantage.
? The aiuou.it of grain that should be
fed to a cow will depend on her milk
flow. If she giving three to live
? gallons a day, she should be fed liberally
twelve to fifteen pounds per day.
One must use judgment in feediug a
cow, and no definite rules can be laid
down- Where the cow is giving a
small flow of milk, six to eight pounds
of grain per day would be sufficient.
Corn aud other fattening grains should
not be fed as the sole concentrates to
dairy cows.?Andrew M. Soule. k

Now, if you will permit me a small
epace, I will give some farm experience.
The crops are all gathered and
stored away; the harvest was a bountiful
one for we who tried to help ourselves,
and we should all be thankful
to our Lord, the giver of all blessings.
' for such favors. Wheat and rye are
4 sowed, and now Is the time to start
out for another crop.
If any of you intend to raise corn
, on land that was in corn last season, I
will tell you how I treat stalk lanjl if
you wish to get rid of the stalks. Do
not burn them, as the manner of some
Is, but take a good sized one-horse turn
plow and run two furrows in centre of
tniddle, turning the dirt each way toCurrent

Thou turn on one furrow from each

Then lot it stand until planting time,

Now as to the inoculating material
sent out by the Government last spring
for cow peas. I received a package and
used it on black cow pens on land
that was in rye. Turned stubble, harrowed
and sowed with drill, some
treated and some untreated, and found
no improvement by inoculating, but
the dry weather caused rather late
sowing. Now I sowed land in wheat;

Reclaiming T.and.
A considerable per cent, of the best
, arable land in the South Is to-day al:
most entirely unproductive. It is
those lauds lying along rivers, creeks,
branches, that have been cleared of
their forest growth and have been cultivated
but for some reason have been
allowed to grow up iu weeds and
bushes of one kind or another. Nearly
all of this land is rich and if put in
tirst-class shape would produce a bale
of cotton or fifty bushels of corn with'
out any manuring. Most of this land,
all, is set in Bermuda grass, and if
nothing else, but if it had possession
there would be a most magnificent
pasture or meadow capable of producing
$o0 worth of beef, pork or mutton
to every acre of it. If used only as a
meadow it would yield from two to
five tons of the best bay in the world.
It is a pity these lands are not put in
condition to do their best for they
would be the most profitable part of
the farm. It is true it would take a
lot of hard work to got thorn back iu
perfect shape, a lot of mowing, grubbing
and chopping that the average
farmer is not able it seems to bestow
upon it It would pay well to clean
up all patches eveu along the branches
and creeks. Such as are not set iu
Bermuda could be used for sugar cane,
if desired. There is so little good land
on the farm to-day the best should
certainly be reclaimed with as little
delay as possible.?Florida Agriculturist

Tlio Market Fowl.
Mr. P. H. Jacobs, editor The
Foultry News, crowds a large amount
of sound common sense into a very
short article as follows:
The market fowl is an insignificant
object with those who advocate the
standard, and they boldly proclaim
their dc-stestatioa of any mongrel
grade, or breed that is not recognized
by what they term the "infallible
guide" to success with poultry. Our
standard friends may be sound
enough on the standard requirements,
but we will say to them that when
they begin to build up the breeds according
to the standard by pulling out
the pillars that support the poultry
structure the falling ruins will crush
them as well as those whom they
despise. Like Samson, they will die
with the Philistines, for the foundation
of the standard breeds is the market
poultry. But for those who "keep
chickens" the fancy breeders would
have no markets for their productions,
and admitting that they displace the
scrub altogether they must create
newer kinds or Cud the markets all
supplied. The question as to the profitableness
of a breed,and its use as a
"thing of beauty" must be discussed
in its-plainest sense. To retain the
standard and keep up the purity cf the
breeds it must be demonstrated mat
profit is sure to result, anil unless that
is done the labor will be but thrown
a war ~ ,
The Best Pallet.'
If/a pullet has been early and carefully
reared, its most prolific seasou is
its first winter.- The second year, as a
whole, is quite as profitable, however,
because the fowl eats less than when
growing, and the first half of its first
y^ar there are few or no eggs, while
laying is maintained all through its
second year.?Professor Thomas Shaw,

Story of Terrapin's Memory.
That Br'er Tarrypin has memory is
proved by a story told by Young D.
Kance, who owns the birthplace of
Chief Justice Taney, on Battle creek,
in Calvert county.
Mr. Hance keeps a small boat under
a mulberry tree on the shore of the
creek, and- on going to the boat early
one morning he noticed a dry land
terrapin busily engaged In eating a
few mulberries which had fallen. Mr.
Hance, wishing to assist Br'er Tarrypin
in getting his breakfast, gathered
some mulberries and pitched them to
him one at a time. In a very short
time the terrapin began to catch the
berries in his mouth exactly as they
were thrown to him. Every day afterward
a slight knock on the side of the
boat would bring the terrapin out for
his mulberries, and Mr. Hance often
took bis friends and visitors to see his
pet.
On one occasion a fresh young man
threw a piece of tobacco to the terrapin
instead of a mulberry. Br'er Tarrypin
retired at once in disgust, and
for days afterward refused to come
when called. Although Mr. Hance
I unaiiy lnuuccu mui ii? tviuc ag<uu 1UJ
j his mulberries, Br'er Tarrypin remembered
the tobacco and would never approach
unless Mr. Hance was alone.?

DOG HAD NOT FORGOTTEN.
, Stung by Bee In Puppyhood, He Cherished
Resentment.
"Something must have stung your
dog," said a resident of this city to
a suburbanite, whom he was visiting
a few days ago. as he noticed the antics
of a large collie which, after
snapping frantically at a flying insect,
lowered his head and carefully
licked his right forepaw.
"No," replied the owner of the dog,
"that is only a little delusion of his.
When he was a puppy a bee 6tung
him on that foot you see him attending
to, and ever since he has cherished
a standing grudge against flying
insects. Apparently the sight of one
not only arouses his anger, but recalls
most vividly his first experience
with one, for each time after running
after one, whether he catches
it or not, he stops and tenderly licks
the place where he was stung two
years ago. As far as I know he has
| never been stung since then."?Philaj

HABIT'S CHAIN.
Certain Habit* Unconsciously Formed and
Hard to ilreak.
An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power necessary
to break a life-long habit would,
if it could be transformed, lift a weight
of many tons.
It sometimes requires a higher degree
of heroism to break the chains of a pernicious
habit than to lead a forlorn
hope in a bloody battle. A lady writes
from an Indiana town:
"From my earliest childhood I was a
lover of coffee ''Wore I was out of my
teens I was a mis... , 'vspeptie, suffering
terribly at timco my
stomach.
"I was convinced that it was cofie*
that was causing the trouble and yet 1
could not deny myself a cup for breakfast.
At the age of 30 I was in very
poor ueuuu, luueeu. xuy oisier ioiu me
I was in danger of becoming a coffee
drunkard.
"But I never could give up drinking
coffee for breakfast although it kept
me constantly ill, until I tried Postum.
I learned to make it properly according
to directions, and now we can hardly
do without Postum for breakfast, and
care nothing a* all for coffee. %
"I am no longer troubled with dyspepsia,
do not have spells of suffering
with my stomach that used to trouble
me so when I drank coffee." Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.

And the great bonghs overhead;
When the wind blows cool on our forehead;
And the breath of the pines is shed;
When the song of the thrush is ringWonderful,

Between the sound and the silence
Comes a sudden lift of the heart.
When we seek with the clearer vls|on
That grief the revealer brings
For the threads that are shot together
In the closcwrought web of things,
And And that pain is woven
Into love and Joy and art?
Between the search and the solace
Comes a sudden lift of the heart.

Gutters and flares and sinks;

And the brain no longer thinks;

The Censor in Italy.
A most amusing incident took place
last week, which shows the absolute
absurdity of the censorship in Italy.
The great actor, Ermete Novelli,
now in South America, has a son who
lives in Florence, to whom was born a
bouncing boy. The young Novelli, in
haste to let his father know that he
bad made him a grandfather, tele
graphed: "Ermete Novelli, Buonop
Ayres: Boy. Enrico." Several hours
later he was called to the telegraph
office, where the following conversation
took place:
"You know wo could not let j-our
dispatch pass."
"Not let it pass! But why, L you
please?" N,
"You know you said it was a boy? '
"And if I did, what then? Is it not
true?"
"Well, that is what we do not know
yet."
"What! Are you crazy? I know
it'"
"Well, anyway, public order demands
that it should not be made
public."
"Made public! Am I making it public
by telegraphing to * my father?
And, In any case, what has the birth
of my son got to do with public order?
Excuse me, have you all taken leave
of your senses?"
"Your son?" gasped the other. "We
thought you were telegraphing about
the queen!"
