g The ration that each animal can use to the best advantage will vary greatly. In feeding, the most economical individual feeding is necessary; that is, ' each animal is given the amount best cal- culated to secure the best results. One of the advantages that the small farmer pos- sesses over the large farmer and that en- ables him to secure better results in pro- ortion to his stock, is that he can feed etter, or rather more economically than the latter. With all classes of stock, whenever an animal is overfed there is not Only a. waste of feed. but, in a. majority of cases, the animal Will not do as well as with more careful management. While, if the 1‘8.- tion is stinted, there is a. loss of the feed and ot the gain that might have been re- alized. \Vhile liberal feeding is always advisable, it is poor economy to keep feed before the animals allof the time. Wheth- er feeding for growth, or to further better growth and thrift, the object will be secur- ed if the animals have a good appetite at every meal. Only whatis eaten up clean Good feeding is not, uy any means, ex- cessive feeding. It is as easy to feed un- proï¬tably by overfeeding us by underfeed- ing. It is the food that is digested and assimilated that beneï¬ts the animal and ex- cessive feeding does not by any means increase the power of assimilation. In fact an overloaded stomach and bowels cannot digest and assimilate nearly as well as with only a. sufï¬cient quantity to supply the wants of the system and maintain a good growth. Every afternoon take a little sleep if you can possibly do so, if you can’t sleep rest in bed awhile. No woman can labor twelve or fourteen hours each day without sacriï¬c- ing her healthand often her life. No married man can thrive without; the assistance of his chosen companion. Yet women do not receive one-half the credit due to them for the good managememt which brings affluence and respectability to the family; manya. roader can recall to mind some family, held together by the thrift, economy and industry of a ygood woman, unequally yoked toa. miserable, thrifbless, idle and good-tor-nothing man ; but in all the years of my experience I have never knawn a. man to do well and a. family to be respected with aslatternly, slipshod, “no-account†woman at: the head of the home. I personally know mothers, who are far from strong. yet they bring in heavy buckets of water day after day ; they milk the cows, feed the calves and pigs while the men are resting ;my advice to such a. woman is this, stop it at once. if you don’t, want some other woman to step into your shoes. ,Do' not hurry or worry if John has to wait, a few moments for his supper (worry kills more than work). and don’ t, I beg of you, sit with a. huge basket of mending by your side on a winter evening; make a. de- mand for the evening yourself. Your mind needs food, and your busy hands call for rest. This may sound impudent, but if u could know how deeply I have your welfare at heart, you would not take oï¬ense. Poor over-worked women are almost as much to blame for this state of things as are their husbands; no woman should attempt to do more than she can, without injury to her health. Most men are careful not to overwork their teams,they are given a day to rest now and then ; yet there are many who seem to think a woman needs no rest. They value a wife simply by the amount of labor they can get out of her. The farmer usually takes an hour at noon to rest, and after doing the chores at night he can spend the evening reading. Not so with the wife; if she has a family she must be cook, nurse- maid, dairymaid and seamstress. She ï¬nds no time for reading. \Vhile her husband reads she must be engaged making or mend- ing garments for her family ; she is usually the last to retire at night, as she can accomplish more after the children are in bed. If one cannot afford to provide all the labor-saving machinery at one time,make an effort to at least provide a. washing machine. After another prosperous year you can nflord the sewing machine, etc. Noinvest- ment that you can pos-ibly make will pay you so well, and nothing you ever did can bring you the same amount of happiness. If women on the form are overworked, there is often more ,spent for doctors’ bills than it should cost for machinery to lighten her labor. Woman on the farm, as in all other spheres, is quite necessary for advancement and prosperity. Woman may sink beneath the responsibilities, as the weight of the universe seems to rest on her frail shoulders. It. has been said that man will spend money freely, to lighten his own labor, yet, many times a frail and overworked wife is denied the washing machine, sewing machine or the latest improved churn. This is not us is should be ; a kind and considerate man will provide labor-saving machinery to make easier the work of the household. Pioneer life is hard; beginners are sub- jected to inconveniences and hardships un- known to beginners in other spheres of action. ’I‘en little chickens under a vine: Hen stepned on oneâ€"then there were nine Nine little chickens stayed out too late.

Another Do not grease chickens if itczm be avoid- ed, as too much grease is injurious, and never use coal oil. If the large lice are found use lard or sweet oil, the oil being preferred. Ten drops of oil of pennyroyal may be added to a large tablespooniul of the oil, and with the ï¬nger rub one or two drops only of the oil well into the down of the neck and herd of each chick. Put a. tablespoonful of sulphur in the nest as soon as the hens or turkeys are set. The heat of the fowls causes the fumes of sulphur to penetrate every part of their bodies, every louse is killed, and, as all nits are hatched within ten days, when the mother leaves the nest with her brood, she is perfectly free from nits and lice. . The business hen is the one that pays her way as she goes and is never found eating her head off two or three times a year. She may wear the white feathers of the Brahma. or the dark feathers of the Langshan. She may dress like a Wyandotte, or in any col- or to suit her taste, if she will only la eggs enough to be proï¬table she will still be the business hen. Ducks, if provided with comfortable quar- ters where they can rest at night and are reasonably well fed, will often commence laying the latter part of January or the ï¬rst of February and lay very regularly until warm weather. Geese begin to lay early in March and will lay fourteen to eighteen eggs; these should nearly always le set under hens, as It is often the case that the mother Wlll not be- come broody until late. Do not wait till the combs and toes are frozen before you put the hen house in order for the wmter. The extra. lining and bank- ing and that extra window can be seen to just. as well in September as December. One can in general say that few eggs are obtained from a. hen that walks listlessly along, with little desire to scratch, but only willing to eat when the food is spread for it. Such hens get; up late, retire early, have large heads, thick legs and a. generally clumsy form. The “hock" in fowls is the part at; the ï¬rst jnint, above the toes, or, in other words, the place on the leg where the feathering stops. If the feathers project at this point and are large and stiff, the bird ls said to be “ vulture hooked," as vultures have similar appendages. An Indiana. poultryman says an equal amount of corn meal and pulverized alum. mixed and placed in the yard, Wlll be eaten by chickens afflicted with cholera, to their great beneï¬t; also, dissolved alum in water to drink. They will not eat or drink readily, but will, as a. last resort before famishing. It, does not sufï¬ce to give the hens corn, corn, corn, day after day. Bird and beast demand frequent changes of food as truly as man himself. The man who puts ï¬fteen eggs under a. hen, instead of eleven or thirteen, so as to make sure of a good lot of chicks, wants more than he will get. If the “ shut in†hens are given a. chance at, cabbage, they will enjoy a. treat and be beneï¬ted. It. will not take two minutes to set out ahead or two in the yard. They will do the rest. Trial and test for the past ten years, and the patient investigations of our dairy teachers and breeders as well. seem con- clusive that the good qualities of a breed are transmitable, and that “good luck,†when analyzed, is only the mating of two excelleiicies. A cow of great excellency, when mated With a sire that has noted dairy qualities behind him, will be far more apt to bring a heifer of great promise than the mating of inferior qualities. Where the sire and dam are of high pro- ducing families of millzers, with large fat percentages, there is far more likelihood of a l4-pouiid butter cow than if neither had any family records. The fact is that there is an old dairy idol that has been " felled from its perch†in the last year, never to be again set up, and that is that feeding will improve the quality of the milk a cow was born to, and if improvement is made in this it must be from the mating of high qualities, and the quality must come of breeding, not feeding ; the quantity can be the only influence of the iced. So it is that one is now beginning to hear that in the special breeds there are families noted for this or that, the result of the owners mating for special traits and peculiarities. This is the result that desirable traits are secured in cows, the same as in breeds of horses for speed, strength or fancy move ment before the coach. The day is at hand when men will tell of buying anything for a cow and“by tucking the feed to her†fashv ion her into the desired performance. The man who wants milk for a special line of trade may possibly yet ï¬nd it as well to buy cows under certain limitations, but if it is quality that is wanted. then it must be bred for under the dairyman’s own best judgment. The day of artiï¬cial or forced improvement of cows has passed. Cows for excellence of milk and bettered quality will be the result of breeding in the future. It has always been so, but except to the few, it has not been a recognized law of hered- ity. Take only clean eggs to market. In order to do this have only clean nests. should be given, and the nearer this amount, is supplied, the better the gain in propor- tion to the cost. Of course in all feeding the ration must be determined by the pur- Diï¬â€™erent rations are needed for growth than for fattening. Milk cows, or, in fact, all animals that, are suckling young, need a. diï¬'erent ration from what is best when fat- tening or working. The problem of feeding to the best advantage is gradually becoming a more important one. Farmers Want to know which is the cheapest, at what price corn is cheaper proportionately than oats, wheat or barley, and at What price bran, oil meal and middlings can be purchased and fed to the best advantage. On the feeding question there is more for investigation that, when carried cut, will be of material beneï¬t in making the farm pay better. Breeding Qualities~ Poultry Pointers- If a. man ï¬nds his load too heavy and feels that it will seriously strain, him to pro- ceed, kick off a. fence board and knock him downâ€"and hammer thoroughly with the board. This will give him renewed energy, and he will make no more fuss. But do not, on any account. reduce the load. That would look too much like common sense, or humanity, and he will be likely to balk again when overloadefl. _ When a man drops from sheer exposure or illness, promptly seize an endâ€"board or a. cart-stake, and pound him on the head and on the ribs. If this does not recuperate him, kick him violently in the belly. This treatment. will restore him if presisbently administered. VIf a man refuses to drink when you offer him water, don’t give him any for two days. That; Will “teach him†to be thirsty at any time you ï¬nd it. convenient to attend to him. It is a. good plan to ply the whip frequently on a. man who is at work. No matter if he is doing his belt, hit him now and then on “ general principles†and to prevent him taking any comfort. If his load is not heavy oblige him to go enough faster to make up for it. Work him hard enough to bring down the average life of man one half, as is done with horses. If no wing is handy use a. club. The common ants of Italy, if not so st1angely ingenious as the gardener ants of the tropics, which prepare a particular soil on which to grow within their nests the fungus on which alone they feed, exhibit what is probably the most complex form of instinctive industry shown by any European animal. They store up oats and various kinds of grain, making hundreds of little rooms as granaries of about the size of a. watch. But grain lying in the ground natu- rally germinates. How the ants prevent this is not known. Probably by ventilation, as bees ventilate their hives by artiï¬cial draught. All that is certain is that if the ants are removed the grain sprouts. When the ants wish to use the store they allow the grains to germinate, until the chemical change takes place in the material which makes Its fermenting juice food suitable for their digestion. They arrest the process of change by destroying the sprout, and use the stock of glutinous sugar and starch so left as their main iood in winter. The Wonderful Smartnesa of [he Ant and or Ilw Woodpecker. The arts of collecting provisions, storing and preserving food, (lomesticating and managing flocks, and capturing slaves are quite as well understood by animals and insects as by man in the earlier stages of his civilizatiou,says the London Spectator, and show a curious analogy in their development in the case of the more backward among human communities. Ants of the same species both have and have not learned to keep “cattle.†Lespes found a. tribe of black ants which had a. flock of “cows.†which they milked daily. But he also discovered a. nest of the same species which had no flocks. These he presented with some of the aphides used by their own cow-keeping relations. The ants irstantly attacked, killed, and ate them, behaving in the same imprevident manner as a. tribe of Australian “black fellows†when presented with a flock of sheep. A relation of this woodpecker inhabits the dryest parts of Mexico, where during the droughts it must die of starvation un- less it made a store. To prevent this it selects the hollow stem of a. species of aloe, the bore of which is just large enough to hold a nut. The woodpecker drills holes at intervals in the stem, and ï¬lls it from bottom to top with the nuts, the separate holes being apparently made for convenience of access to the column of nuts within. The intelligence which not only constructs a. special storehouse, but teaches the wood- pecker to lay by only the nuts which will keep, and not the insects which would de- cay, is perhaps the h1ghest form of bird reasoning which has yet been observed. method in a. case like this is to sever the nerves of the foot, there being two nerves, one on each side of the foot. This deprives the lower part of the limb of all sensation, and the horse will go sound for perhaps a year, when the nerves will form together again. Alittle known and striking instance of foresight and industry exhibited by a bird is that of the California woodpecker. Like others of its kind this bird is an insect eat- er. Yet, in view of the approach of winter, it prepares 9. store of food of wholly differ- ent character, and arranges this with as much care as an epicure might devote to the storage of his wine in acellar. In the summer a. woodpecker lives on ants. For the winter it stores up acorns. To hold each acorn it hollows a. small hole in a. tree, into which the acorns are,exa.ctly ï¬tted, and is ready to be split by the strong beak of the climbing woodpecker, though too tightly held to be stolen either by squirrels or other birds. Sulphur is quite useful to promote gener- al health and thrift among fowls. Give it to the poultry only on bright,plea¢aant days. Once or twice a week a. teaspoonful may be mixed in the feed of a. dozen hens. Salt. is very needful to all animal life, and a. dozen hens may receive a teaspoonfnl mixed in their scit feed everyday. Charcoal corrects acidity and promotes digestion. \Vood charcoal may be fed in minute quantity now and then, or cars of corn may be charred and then thrown to the fowls, and they will pick off the kernels and be given some work to do. All these substances are not foods in the proper sense of the term, but condiments and general health promot- era, when used in very limited quantities. flow [0 Trent.“ . nâ€"Bv a Ilorse.

If we apply this mode of gauging the ex- tent of depression to Toronto it would ap- pear that the city is in much better con- dition than it was last year. The city’s share of the car earnings for 1892 was $65,239, while in the ten months already past of 1893 the city has received $60,413. The year’s percentage of receipts will be about $72,500, an increase of about 10 per cent. over that of last year. There has been depression in real estate, but it is evident that the business tide is not dimin- ishing in force. â€"[G‘.obe.

Downing in his narrative of adventures in In- dia was a. tiger whose ways were as mycteri one as his ravages were terrible. He could never be bagged. He killed every shikeri, native or Eiropean, who tziei it. This truculent beast had never even been seen. and as he never mangled a body, but. only sucked the blood through an oriï¬ce made over the jugular vein, the term: the greatJhoot demon inspired is not surpris- ing. He never forced a. door, yet he got into house after house. Two subalterns went; out for him, and the next day they were found dead like the rest. One with his last strength had managed to scratch the words: “Look out for a. Lâ€".†But no amount of conjecture could solve the riddle of these words. A famous shot, who once for a wager shot 100 tigers in twelve months, met the same fate. He, too, lefta “creepy†and mysterious mes- sageâ€"the letters “A.l\ .†Then the Colonel goes. He built himself an ambush and watched. “ As the ghastly creature crept after the monkey he followed the slightest curve and deviation of his guide with the delicate alacrity of a. needle under the influence ofa. magnet. The adroitness displayed by the tiger was suddenly converted into a. sub. ject of horriï¬ed wonder, for as the brute approached the ambush he turned his bid- eous face up to the moon, and I could see that his eyes were of a dull deed white, without light, intelligence, or movement. The creature was stone blind. For all that, he evidently knew, or thought he knew, what lay before him, for the salha of an- ticipation was clinging to his wrinkled Jaws like a. mass of gleaming icicles. " The monkey, when he had come within jumping distance, gave a. low signal cry‘ made one vigorous spring into my late shelter, alighted upon my comp stool and sprang out again on the other side. He was instantly followed by the tiger,who fell like an avalanche upon the stool, crushing it. to match wood, and at once began to feel about on all sides for his expected victim. “ Now was my chance. Beneath me in the broad light of the full moon lay the demon of the Jhoot. I aimed steadily at a deep furrow between the shoulder blades and held my breath for the shot. At that moment the keen eyes of the monkey caught eight of me. and the little animal uttered a. shrill note of warning: but it was too late; my ï¬nger was upon the trigger, and I ï¬red both barrels in quick succession.’ â€Just as the full light of the moon fell upon the stream and illuminated the sur- roundings there was an almost inaudible rustle of leaves close behind me, and, turn- ing on the instant, I saw a. gray-brown paw very cautiously putting aside the twigs of my shelter, and behind the paw I could discern two small green eyes attentively regarding me. Engllsh So Regarded by a Noted Educator â€"Hls Views Set Forth. In an article on the importance of intr-i- ducing into the schools the study of a uno versallanguage ( Weltsprache),which recent- ly in the Preussische Jahrbecher, Dr. Schro- er advocates making the study of English obligatory, not necessarily to the exclusion of the classical tongues, but at least in con- junction with them. “This,†he says, “ is not a question of taste or rivalry between the ‘moderns’ and the ‘ancients;’ it is simp- ly a historical necessity.†The learned professor properly condemns all attempts, however scientiï¬c, to construct an artiï¬cial world'speechâ€"like volapuk. In his opinion a. language which possesses neither litera- ture, historical development nor linguistic relations can never serve as a. medium of general communication, for the reason that no one will take the trouble to acquire it merely as a “tool of trade†until it becomes universal; therefore it never can become universal. Such attempts, however,are not only aimless, because they can never obtain the general consent of mankind, but they are needless, for there exists already a uni- versal languageâ€"La, a language which, by its spread over the whole earth and by the ease with which it may be learned,has gain- ed such a long step in advance that neither natural nor artiï¬cial means can deprive it of its assured position as the future medium of international intercourse. And this lan- guage is the English. “ ‘ A lungoor,’ Iaaid to myself as it van- ished from viewâ€"a. monkey. ‘ That’s what the lads and Dick Culverton meanf to tell us, and, by George ! there’s mischief; here.’ Moved by asudden inspiration, for which I cannot to this day account, I hastened from the shelter and ascended the adjoining tree. I had scarcely time to seat myself comfortably upon one of the lower branches when I saw the Iungoor returning, fo‘lowed by the most repulsive looking monster my eyes ever beheld. “ You talk, Snapper, of your tiger, being mangy : this one was absolutely naked, nude as a. nut, bald as a bottle, not a. hair any- whereâ€"a huge, ghastly glabrous monstros- ityâ€"a very Caliban oi tigerv, as big as a bison, and as long as a. crocodile. Professor Schroer is careful to warn his readers not to set their aim too high, for to learn to speak and write fluently and correctly a language which holds so high a place in thescale of culture and reï¬nement as the English is difï¬cult ; but for the aver- age man this is not necessary, for even the average Englishman has but a limited com- mand of his mother tongue, and the daily intercourse of life requires but a small and easily acquired vocabulary. This is true of every language, but the absence of puzzling genders and inflections and syntactical forms renders the English easy in compari- son with others. “The English language,†concludes Professor Schroer, “is the world speech, and will, to all appcerance, become more and more so every year.†During the present century the English-speaking popu- lation of the world has increased ï¬vefold, from possibly 25,000,000 at its beginning to at least 125,000,000. No other language has ever been so rapidly developed ; no fact in civil history is more signiï¬cant than this. In every quarter of the world English is the conquering tongue. The widespread of the British colonial system, the marvel- ous growth of the United States and the facility with which it absorbs every foreign element bear witness to this great fact, and our cousinsin Germany are of too practical a turn of mind to be jealous or forï¬atful of it.
