• The Economical Use of Grain in
4i1 Fattening Cattle.
Sir,—In answer to your request
respecting the kind and quantity of
grain I would recommend in the
preparatory, second and finishing
stages in the process of fattening
cattle, I may say that'any opinion I
may express upon this question,
would be only an approximate as
. indicating what we have found •to
work well in practice upon a compara-
tively small scale. In the fattening
of cattle, I am nota believer in feed-.
ing such very heavy rations of grain
as' many farmers still persist in
eramming• into their animals. In
this country, where we have our
animals stabled for such along time,
I consider one of the ,;neatest secrets
of success in connection with a sys-
tem of stock-keepk, with a view to
either beefing or dairying, lies in
our being able to get our winter
fodder preserved in the very best
possible condition. °Fol' instance,
imagine a farmer curing his hay
when it has become so ripe that the
substance has nearly all left the
stem; also leaving his grata crop
until it may be drawn in directly
after cutting, and then, with this
quality of fodder as the bulky
portion of his food ration, endeavor
to fatten his animals for the May
Market. With such a quality of
fodder, in which there must be a
very small percentage of digestible
food material, it does not surprise
me that many consider that very
large quantities of grain are re-
quired, and more particularly so
when animals have previously been
partially neglected throught he want
of a sufficiency of. pasture grass, or
other suitable fodder to keep them
good and thrifty and gaining at
least moderately during the previous
summer., Practical experience is
constantly teaching us that there is
;no single • fodder upon which ani-
mals will gain and fatten so rapidly
as upon the rich pasture of spring
and early summer, more particularl-v
Viten it has reached that stage of
. turity which it usually attains
sthe
threemtwo to
weeks before
k of farmers begin haying oper-
, ` Ens. This practical lesson should
' also teach us that the nearer we can
, preserve our fodder to this condition
the more" digestible and valuable
will its feeding qualities be. The
analysis of good clover hay properly
cured confirmed by the practical
peas anctioats. Upon this. allowance
of grain they are floing weld, •and I
(consider rat (Mite sufficient to ,carry
them along till January.
For the next two months, with a
'mixture ,of clover hay, straw and
insillage, six pounds of grain; pa mix-
ture of peas, oats, and a littie,oil-csko,
followed by certainly not more than
eight pounds • of the same aaixture
ldvtaing the finishing• period, should
be quite suffleient to put the aninials

Market*. the higher ales price. The
Cornett. Experiment Station has
made .a test of various breeds for
early tomb raising, extending over
seyefial years. It finds that the
Dorset Horned sheep breed earlier
and faatten better lambs than the
Shropshires. Other things being
equal, the Dorset ewes give the
most milk. and breed .earliest in the
season, There is practically no
difference between beets and ensilage
as a succulent food for ewes rearing
early lhlnbs. As a coarse fodder for
the ewes and also for the lambs,
there is nothing better than good
clover hay. In fact this is once of
the essentials to success in early
lamb raising. As a rule ewes
respond more liberally • to forced
feed for milk production the second
year than they do the first, but
should not, be forced for milk pro-
duction until the lambs are a few
days old. The market early in the
season does. not require so large
lambs as the late market. 'The °best
early market commences as soon as
the holiday poultry is out of the,
way, usually about the middle of
January in New York City. Dorsets
may be slaughtered at a somewhat
younger age than Shropshires and
yet will dress a little heavier. There
is no particular difference between
these two breeds in loss of weight by
dressing, the shrinkage being 12 or
13 per cent. The price paid in the
New York market for fancy lambs
varies, from 30 down to 10e, per
pound' according to the quality and
appearance Early lambs are
usually sold by the head, at $10
down to $5 or less for carcesses
weighing 30 or 40 lbs. until southern
Tennessee lambs come to market,.
when the lambs are sold by the
pound. The exact time at whieh
this occurs varies from year to year.
Sometimes the early lamb market
continues up to the last of April or
even the first part of May.
VARIETY OF MEANS 'OF SALUTATION
PRACTISED DT DIFFERENT P1 oPIt}.
"'Tis certain," said Dick Steele, of
kissing, "nature was its author, and
that it began ,with the first coiirt-
ship." But this is incorrect. 'Tis
certain that to many human tribes
kissing is unknown. Instead of say-
ing " kiss me," they say " smell me,"
and this, doubtless, represents an
earlier form of salutation. The kiss
is much later than the dance. It is
still unknown among many' races,
and may be called conventional.
Some nations smell and rub noses,
like horses in salutation ; and, where
two ;Frenchmen will run and kiss
each" other, two Central Africans will
deliberately spit, by way of friendly
greeting.
Dr. Taylor says: "The idea of
the kiss being an instinctive gesture
is negatived. by its being unknown
over half the world, where the pro-
vailing salute is that by smelling or
sniffing, which belongs to Polynes-
ians, Malays, Burmese and other
Indo-Chinese, Mongols, etc., extend-
ing thence to the Eskimo, and
westward to Lapland, where Lin-
naeus saw relatives saluting by put-
ting their noses together.
The kiss has to be taught to
children. Prever, in his excellent
boil, " The Mind of the Child,"
states that at first they are averse to
and even fearful of the performance.
However .:this may be, it is certain
that Europeans speedily take to it,
as though to the • manner born.
Oseulations were far more common
in the good old times than at present.
The custom which most delighted
Erasmus, when in England, was that
the ,;iris all kissed hint.
When ceasing to be performed,
some of these ceremonies leave their
traces in language. Thus both
Austrians and Spaniards say "I kiss
your hands," as a polite term for
returning thanks. John Bunyan
was a very different man from Eras-
mus, and in his " Grace Abounding"
he says: ": The common salutation of
women I abhor : it is odious to mein
whomsoever I see it." And to those
who defended it as the holy kiss he
pertinently asked " Why did.,they
salute the most handsome, and let
the ill-favored go? "—London Spec..

'latter Cara► of Sheep..
Sheep should be Herlihy and in
good condition before winter begins,
that when Bold weather comes the
growth of the fleece uiay be cc 9stant
and rapid. The greatest ea,r,de, is
demanded to fatten at poor �i9�f.t in
the winter, *tad it is imposEli,Vle to
clip as, rutich and as good quality of
wool front it as might have been
one hard. it been in god condition
before winter began.
The first thing to be done is to
divide your sheep into l!u s accord-
ing to alae or purpose, In most
cases a division into four flocks. will
be sufficient, viz.; lambs, yearlings,
breeding ewes and those desired to
be fatted for late spring market.
Tho rams should he separated from
the others at all times when not in
use..
The locating and arranging of a
sheep house aro important factors to
be tztkee into consideration. Loeate
on 'dry ground and underdrain the
floor well with tile or cobble stone to
provide against surface wetter dur-
ing freezing and thawing periods.
The sheep lots should be supplied
with a stream of living water, Ice
water is injurious to sheep. I will
give you a brief plan for a good and
convenient sheep house that will
accommodate 200 head of sheep.
This plan is for four flocks of sheep,
no diffenence how much they vary
in number, and it can be made to
accommodate more sheep by adding
to length only, whieh does not dis-
arrange plan of division. Size of •
building 28x40 feet, two storey with
room above for hay. Plant three
parallel rows of stone pillars sit in a
row, projecting above level of floor
one foot; the second row 14 feet
from the first, and the third 14 feet
from the second. The length of
building should extend' east . and
west. Place 18 posts on the stone
pillers six feet high, for upper sills
to rest upon. This does away with
lower .,ills, which are a nuisance.
The upper storey may be built to
suit the .builder ; better make it
large enough.
In the centre make a portable
rack -8x8 feet, 8?; feet high. From
this rack to centre of each end and'
side make portable racks. This will
divide the floor into four equal'
divisions which may be changed by l
shifting the racks, The hay can be '
thrown from above into the 'square
rack, from there into the division
racks. Make two doors at each end,
wide enough to drive a wagon
through then you will' have two
driveways from end to end to re -
remove manliire. Each door answers
for a flock of sheep to pass in and
out.
Make two sheep lots at each end
and the sheep cannot get under the
eaves. Red -top or other good hay,
with corn and oats mixed, is the uni-
versal feed and sheep will do well on
it.
A'ration for 100 head of sheep is
3 pks. of equal bulk of cern and oats
and 200 lbs. of hay, one-third fed in
the morning and two-thirds in the
evening. Stock digest best at night.
Make a salt box for each flock of
sheep sirnilar to one supplied for
cattle, but much smaller. Mix 1 ib.
of sulphur with 10 lbs. of salt and
keep the boxes well. 'supplied with
the same. Permit the sheep to run
out or in during the day if it is not
raining or snowing. Sheep can

Horticultural Notes.
Not all plants are adapted to
winter culture. Therefore, one
must select those that will bloom in
winter. The best plant for bloom-
ing is the geranium, This flower
bloolns freely and constantly if' not
exhausted during the summer.
People may call it common and
coarse, but they , cannot deny that
with good care it is the most faithful
flower -producer we have.
In the tuberose and many, other
bulbuous plants, offsets sprout the
same year, and by taking off the
offsets, plants can be easily propag-
ated ; but some plants do not show
signs of offsets, but the buds are
made though they may not push into
young plants.

is cut into pieces, longitudinally,
every one of these pieces will grow
just as readily as the cutting out into

rule, no matter how thin these longi-
tudinal sections may be a bulblet

planting. It is in this way that the
rare varieties of gladiolus are propa-

reason why some varieties of gladio-

be se easily producted in quantity.
The rare ones are those whieh cannot
