by feeding grain to the cows while on
pasture.
It is true, perhaps, 'that for a month
or so, while tiro grass Is plentiful and)
succulent, the cows will give as large
returns without grain feed as with it,
but daring the time of drouth and
the fly season, grain -fed cows will al-,
wetys,hold their own much better than
those not so fed. They also milk
much better during the last few
months of the lactation petted. The
quantity, of grain to, be usedwill de-
pend to wine extent on the condition
08 the pastures and the size of the
cows. Ih is not generally advisable to
feed moa'e than from 4 to 8 lbs. per
caw per day. The university dairy
cows are fed daily from 3 to 5 lbs each;
of a mixture of equal parts of corn
meet and gluten feed, depending on
the size of the cow and the length of
time she has been milking. Our large
caws got more than the small ones,
and eve also feed our fresh cows heav-
ier than those that bave been milking
several months.
DOUBLE PURPOSE COWS.
Some have said that there aannotl
be a general purpose breed of cattle,,
says a cacrespendent. Now,• a mom.i
east's thought wilt convince us that
to a certain extent every cow is a
double purpose oow. The dairy cow
to be kept in milk must produce a
calf, at stated intervals,, and no breed
has, yet been developed, that will pro-
duccl only heifer oalvas or ton heifers
to ons bull, so she is producing some
beef besides what she puts on her
book. Again, the beef animal pro-
duces mills usually en excess of the
needs of tier young and is therefore
a. dairy cow. On the grass ranges it
may be most profitable to select a
breed of cattle that has exhibited a
tendency to put on flesh rather than
to produce, an exoess of milk. The
exclusive dairyman would prefer an
animal that secrets large quantities
of milk rich int butter fat. The gen-
eral farmer, however, who has land
upon which to feed will profit most
from the breeds and iadivicluals that
aombtnc these two tendeuei.es in the
largest degree. if he does not wish
to feed beef aainzolscalves can befit-
ted far the bleak without loss of
cream and with but a short period of
feeding. Tile large, blocky calf
commands the best price from the
first 'day of its, lite. If them share is
a breed which whilecounted a beef
breed, has made high records at the
pail, that breed is. mast profitable for
the farmer. We cannot change back
and forth from dairy to beef, as the

which make general farming prt-
ferable to special terming apply to

hurled himself against an overwhelm-

tainty of death. A few of such have
survived, and their escape is but one
of the many unaccountable caprices of
war.
During the Persian War of 1857 the
British ttrwy, on its way to the coast,
found itself fats to fags with a strong
force. of the enemy, and a fierce bat-
tle ensued. The stoutest opposition
was offered by the Persian infantry,
which, =seed in the form of a square,
resisted all attacks. This proved par-
tieularly exasperating to a young
cavalry officer, Lieutenant Moore,
who determined to break' the square,
event if he died in the attempt.
Calling on his men to follow, he
spurred his horse and dashed head-
long at the phalanx of steel. His
pace was so forious that he was De 'to
the square almost before his 'men had
started, and, galloping his horse at
the enemy, he forced his way through
their ranks. His horse was killed
and his sword blade broken in the on-
slaught; but he wa,s on his feet in a
moment and fighting furiously against
overwhelming adds. Fortunately his
men mune' up quickly and the disor-
ganized square broke and, flew before
them, leaving Moore triumphant and
untouched.
AT INKERII[AN
another young officer, Lieutenant
Clifford, won the Victoria Cross by
a similar act of mad daring. Seeing
a large number of the enemy coming
to the attack frown an utterly unex-
pected quarter, be called oro a few nn -
mounted men to follow him in a
charge. As he was the only horse-
man In the charge be quickly found
himself alone and unsupported, but,
without a thought of his danger and
folly, he threw himself against the
massed Russians, who wavered and
broke under the terrible onslaught.
By the time his men came on the
scene Clifford was dealing death right
and left; and in almost less time than,
it takes to tell the story the enemy
was in headlong flight.
In the same battle an artillery Lieu-
tenant repelled an attack on his guns'
by the simple expedient of charging
the Russians himself. His men fol-
lowed .him as soon as they realized hie
intention, and pounded the enemy so
vigoirously with fists and rammers, or
any improvised weapon they could
seize, tbat they were glad to seek re-
fuge in flight.
In the Afghan war of 1878-80 an-
other artilleryman, gunner Smith, lost
his life in 1 similar rash enterprise,
The cavalry under General Nuttall re-
ceived the order to charge the Af-
ghans, and Gunner Smith, unable to
resist the temptation, mounted one of
the artillery horses and placed himself
by the General's side. After riding
some, distance the General found that
hie mem' had came to a full stop, and
realizing the folly of continuing, be
toad his officers also retired from the

tinue the charge alone. Digging his

WILL BE BETTER OFF.
Barring the purely sentimental ideas
of an independent national existence,
a life under a certain flag, and a love
of one's own country, there are many
reasons for thinking that the people of
the Transvaal Republic will be quite
as well off, and probably better off
under English rule than under that
which they have bad.
Itis useless to deny that the Trans-
vaal Government has been crude and
faulty, unable to successfully cope
with the situation whish was so sud-
denly imposed upon it. Only that a
careful and charitable consideration of
its experience during the last fifteen
years shows clearly that progress had
-been made and that further progress
was developing. one might perhaps be
thankful that it had ended. But the
signs of promise were surely there
and the death of even a crude republic
can only be a matter of cordial regret
to honest republicans.
