There are 'very few :farms on Which this is not : practiced to some extent, and on a. great many at an alarming rate. And yet tbe farmers do not rea- aze it, or look upon it in that may. As 'winter comes on, we notice that it ree quires a cctasiderabe amount of feed to keep the aniniaas in the condition they were when they tett the pasture, says a waiter' in Prairie Farmer.

Now, the practical'expert is very sur„r3 that it is from tkte food that fiavoi'' is.develaped in tae butter. , This should" go without saying, for if ill flavors are derived from the foods, why not the good flavors? Who of us do not luiow that the fresh June grass gives a more desirabae flavor to the butter than cab- bages and turnips; and who doubts that the wild onions, rag -weed, and other highly -flavored weedy do really give a flavor to the butter of cows which feed in pastures infested by them? So it the pasture we make no note of food is with the other foods linseed meal in the blood is sure to do havoc some- where.

We on!.y give attention tothe animal to know whether it is thriving as we desire. But as soon as tba pas- ture fails, we begin to notice.: the amount of food consumed, and calculate whether the amount in store will carry to grass again. Ars oversupply tends to extravagance in one direction and a shortage to extravagance in another. 'What we waste in using that from whioh we get no return, we have used extravagantly. Possibly one of the most difficult lesson to learn for the farmer who grows stock to consume his erops, is that in the increase alone, there is profit. If catty the amount of food required to suppletehe animal heat is fed, no profit accrues to the farmer. The food might as weal have decayed in the field, and the farmer been saved the trouble and expense of harvesting it. It is thoughtless extravagance to feed in this way. The degree of ex- travagance is emphasized when the animal's are fed in such a way that they constantly Iose flesh. The vast ma- jority of farmers who grow a few cat- tle and keep them over two winters, expect them to come out of winter each spring without an Increase in weight over what they weighed when they went into winter quarters.

ORN STATERCNT OF A GUATEE51; be found that they are feeding, rough- ness, aiming to keep thecattle an store condition, but net making any effort to secure a gain in weight. With fod- der and Ilmcthy hay it is hardly post stole that young cattle or colts will make a gain, but with a li 'bt feed. of clover hay or bran, they will improve constantly. Clover hay can be grown cm moot farms, if the farmer will set himselfabout to secure the proper con - lit1lns. The farmer who feeds only corn fodder and Timothy bay, for roughness, and corn or other grain or grain products rich in carbohydrates, is an extravagant feeder, because he does not supply the system of the ani. - male with just what they need for the best development. We bave seen the effort made to winter colts on straw. The owner lost his labor, and came near losing the colts. Possibly they had a little ear corn, but this did not help much. Corn and: fodder are the main de- pendence on most farms for winter stock food. If bay is used, it is chiefly Timo- thy. With this combination farmers bare been, and are still, unable to bring their young stock through the winter, and doubtless from this fact has grown the belief that a farmer cannot feed corn to..young cattle and d colts with h pro - fit duxng the winter. Con,.eqwent.Y the grain is dropped, and the stock wintered on fodder and Timothy hay withal= gain and profit, and besides the farmer loses his feed and labor. It is certainly a most extravagant proceed- ing; no other line of business could ex- ist under such curcumstances. We are not crying down the value of these foods, 'but the extitnagaht way of :ds- iia:g Caere. A great many farmers think no hay of any value except Timothy, and that clover is not fit for a colt or a horse to eat. Here again extrava- gant feedinghas caused a Fr J'udice against clover. When the inexperienc- ed have it, they, feed too much, and damage their anima:% with it. especially the hors_e stock. Years ago Timothy a -'ono wa.i grown on this farm for hay, and as cora growing was one of the leading branches, they had Timothy hay in large quantities. It was the rule for thein to come to gales in the spring low in flesh. As a. hay product we have discarded Timothy, and depend entirely on clover. With clover hay fed to the young stock, along with fodder and corn, we have found it much easier to. get growth during the winter, and at the .time time keep the animas in good flesh. It is a well attested fact That no animal gives as good return for pro- per feeding as the pig, yet he is the most extravagantly fed animll on the farm. He is fed only sufficient earn is till spring, make him hold h own r n sF g, '. wilt befattenedon corn and when. he grass, or else be. is fed full feed of corn elope to make him grow and fatten. Bath are extravagant proceedings of the worst • form. When fed corn to just had his own, the corn and lab- or are lost. When fed corn to secure growth and fat,there is again a. toss, for it is simplyg impossible for a grow- ing pig to do its 'best when fed corn alone. Men who follow these plans be- lieve themselves to be economical feed- ers, and on the scare of economy have often frost more on their pig feeding than they gained. Against the prac- tice of underfeeitinq, which is extrava- gance in its worse form, comes up that of over -feeding, often practiced by men who compound. their stock food on sci- entific principles. An . overfed and a starved animal: are about equally value - to the farmer. They are extra- vagant extremes tat no farmer can afford to own. MOTHER.

And that this must be so we. know, because it is also known that it is from the oils in the food that tbe chief flavors of the butter made from them are derived. Thus it is that but- ter made from cottonseed meet not coat( has the flavor of this special oil, but it has also precisely the same ohemi- cal reaction in the hands of the analyst. If, then, the dairyman whose experi- ence goes back for a score or two of years of intelligent practical work dif- fers with the scientist, whose work is onWy of a few weeks' or months,' stand - lag, whose testimony should we accept, or whose advice should we follow? There is no 'doubt on this point, we think. It is now the fashion to give too much importance to those organisms which we know affect milk and its products, and too 'tittle to the influence of the. food of the cows. T aquestionab:y these have their effect on the mak, and on the cream and the butter ; but so far these effects have been found a%1 un- favorable, and to be striven against by the butter -maker. They are all agents of decomposition, which in the end are destructive, but as far as they may be wisely controlled, they are use- ful, As to butter, it is quite certain that the real natural butter flavor, that which is inherent in the fate which make the butter. is a production of in- oipient decomposition, which, like the ripeness of a fruit, gives the exquisite favor to a pare or a grape, aae! which, if it goes too far, is the beginnign of a flavor which disgusts insteat of pleas- ing. So it is with butter ; and this process of ripening is to be controlled, just as the cheese -maker controls the ripening of the cheese. But there are other favors which are clearly due to the food, and as these differ very much as the foods may vary, they are to be studied by the butter -maker in such a way as to avoid the undesirable ones and encourage the useful ones. And thus it is that the choie o the. foods for the cows is one of the most im- portant darts of dairy, practice, It is not at an of this to get and use the foods which will most _Increase the pro- duct of butter, but to .,, :.holo of which the finest flavored butter may be made.

The Miraculous Walking Stick of St. Joseph Took (toot and Blossomed. Mant RINDOOS NOT ALL VEGETARIANS, SORE ARE EVEN CANNIBALS. Fish, .Flesh, and II1Ik Are Diet of Dlany— Sotne " Bill 'I'rlibes Are Omnivorous, While the Ahoris Devour Babies—Eng Mind Cellists ort This to Relieve the Famine. Buckle's notion --that the people of India live on little less than rice, which diet the philosophic historian regard- ed as the cause of everything that is wrong in their institutions and national anteater—was exploded years ago by the late Sir Henry Maiane. In Bengal, Assam, and Burmah this cereal . is the chief food both of the middle and lower classes, but in most other parts of In- dia only the well-to-do can afford to use it. At the same time the consump- tion of rice is becoming more general. In the Deccan, for instance,. twelve or fifteen years ago millet was the only grain eaten, but now in every middle- class family in this region rice is near- ly always included in the daily bill of fare. Wheat is grown in Bombay and the central provinces almost entirely for export ; but in the Punjaub and in parts of the northwest provinces it is one of the main articles of food. Ex- cept, however, in the area where rice or wheat is cheap, millets are the chief breadstuffs for the masses, more especially "jowar" (identical witb the "dburra" of Egypt) andd "bajra," or buixuslt millet, In northern India, where widespread scarcity is now ap- prehended, p prehended, millets, pulses, maize. and rice are sown in June and reaped in Oe- tober. In or about tbe latter month wbeat is sown, to be harvested in the spring. It would be no easy task, how- ever, to give a detailed and accurate account of the way in which 287,000,000 OF PEOPLE, of various races and divers creeds, feed themselves, and it is more difficult to estimate the supplies available for their sustenance. Mr. J. A. Baines, wbo su- perintended the last Indian census, and whose. statistical researches axe a mar- vel of patient and skilful investigation, came to the conclusion that the calcu- lations of the Famine Commission were to a largeti- t extent little moretrust- worthy e worthy than random conjecture. The usual assumption is that the people live for the most part on grain and pulses. other food being a negligible quantity ; and, having estimated more or less roughly the total yield in an average year, the inquirer proceeds to demon- strete that from 20,000,000 to 60,000,- 000, people, are almost, if not entirely, destitute of the first necessity of life. Mr. Baines objects to this method as unscientific and misleading. Althougb grain and pulses, 'he points out, may be thr chief item of the Indian's diet. there are several other items to be ta- ken into account. i'ruit, vegetables, a i everywhere con- sumed milk in large quantities. There are from forty-five to fifty head of horned cattle, including calces, to every hun- dred people; and, except where the rainfall is so heavy that cows and buffa- los cannot eastlj' flu kept, milk is an important article of diet in every hu.- Isandman's family. But even the people who 1i.'o on grail, pulses, vegeiaules. and milk,. or on one or more of thse varieties of food, coinprtso less than th -fifth o f the total population. Mr. ree s f al 4 •m i - Bai es calculates that thou are 90. n cl 000,0;;0 who rely for their sustenanetl cn other articles of food. To begin with, there are large num- bers who live on fish and flesh. Along the seacoast and on the banks of the great rivers the people are, to a large extent, fish eaters; and from two to three milli n earn their living by catching and vending fish. FLESH EATLRS are still more numerous; and it is not only the Mohammedans who eat meat.. Rajpoots and Mabrattas, Hindoos though they are, are as ready to eat mutton and goat's flesh as the Turco - mans of Central Asia, to whom one if not both races are sometimes to be akin. The Rajpoot is also partial to the flesh of the wild boar—the luxury, Mr. Baines remarks, which, indulged in too freely, (r itama Buddha. nus the deathof o caused. h Then there are the aboriginal hill tri.bes—Gonds, Sonthads, Nagar, and others—many of whom are omnivorous. Another large section of the commun- ity, comprising the hereditary village menials, eat the fdesli "uf dead cattle. Lower still in the social scale are va- like theSan- rant and criminal tribes s s and Minas, who feed on jackals, liz- ards, tortoises, and o'Lher vermin. Nor must it be forgotten that traces of cannibalism are still met with occasion- ally in India. During the Madras fam- ine of 1877. more than one case was reported; but besides the abnormal hor- rors that occur in times of severe dis- tress then is the cannibalism practised by a. sect of religious devotees. These wretches are known as Aghoris, and. i tis not impossible that the ogre of Western fairy tales gets its name from them. Not many years ago an Aghori was caught at Rontak, in the Pun- jaub, in the act of devouring the body of a newly buried child which he had exhumed ; and more recently, in 1888, a magistrate in the northwest provinces sentenced a man who was found guilty of a similar offence to a year's impris- onanent. It is said that in the Pun- jaub, before the English annexation. might often be seen wandering Aghoris about the streets with human skulls'in There is a legend interesting in con- nection with the custom of extending festivities from Christmas to Twelfth' day, or Epiphany. According to tradi- tion, St. Jaaeph, whiles passing through the town of Glastonbury, rested on a hillside. His walking stick of dry paw- into he earth when it thorn he thrust in o t , immediately took root and the next clay blossomed. Every year thereafter it blossomed on Christmas day, which was Jan. 6, old style. This thorn tree had two trunks and grew ' to an immense size. Many singular instances related of it obtained general credence. Once in . Queen Elizabeth's time a Puritan, boiling to root out the super- stition attached to it, hawed down the larger trunk, but when be attacked the prevented other he was miraculously from accomplishing his task. His ax slipped, cutting his leg seriously, and a clip flew up and put nut one of his eyes. The severed trunk lay for years attached to tiro earth by a mere frag- ment of bark, yet it grew and flourish- ed. Even after it was taken away and thrown into a dit"h it continued to blossom, while the standing trunk, all cut and mangled near the roots, spread out its brauelecs in a great circle and bloomed luxuriantly. A long time afterward the second trunk was cut down, but the shoots from it were said to be growing in many places, each claiming to be the Glastonbury thorn. It is on record that when the change of style was made in 1768 people weed greatly perplexed, wondering; on what day the Glaston- bury thorn would blossom. A great 25,N. S. and Dec.N 1 ected on ovdool cr t finding no blossoms watched the tree until Jan. 6, the old Christmas day, when it bloomed as usual. To allay the excitement this caused the old day was observed for awhile on many places. OPERATED ON A TIGER. A Dublin Doctor Cured a Tiger of Gan- grene, and the Animal Did Not *rget Him. Some years ago one of the finest tigers in the Zoological Gardens in Dublin had a sore foot. A claw had turned and grown back into the flesh.
