HOWARD, 71 Victoria St., Toronto. • GOOD FEED FOR DAIRY COWS. The first thing to ensure a suocess- ful production of butter is a herd of good butter cows, but butter from the very beat can be spoiled in the mani- pulation writes Mr. H. H. Childs. In fact, I believe the feed and care of the herd have more to do- with the product than the breed. The miloh cow is in a great measure a machine, the feed the raw material, and the milk, butter or cheese the m ufactured product. As a manufaotti''er cannot turn out all wool from shoddy, neither can a dairyman make the best of butter from poor feed, and by poor feed I mean brewers' grains, sour or fermented foods, or anything that will cause gar - get or other injurious effects on the health of the animals. My herd/ consists of a mixture of breeds, Jersey predominating. My feed is hay and corn stover with grain. For a grain ration, the best I know of from many years' experience is corn and oata - 4 bu. to 3 respectively ground together, with wheat bran and cottonseed meal. Feed an equal quant- ity of ground corn and oats, and wheat bran with a moderate ration of cotton seed meal, never exceeding a quart to a feed of the latter. At every feed add some salt. By a regular feeding of salt there is a constant flow of milk, a more healthy condition of the secre- tive organs, a better assimilation of feed, better digestion, the product is always uniform, the cream rising and the butter coming every time just right. My plan Is to first clean out my stable in t he morning, then milk and remove from the stable as soon as milked and strain into creamer. I then feed the cows their ration of grain and sometimes roots immediately after milking, and no unpleasant ef- fect will be produced in milk or but- ter. I give a bushel of turnips well cut up to 10 cows, with grain and salt. To prevent the scattering of grain, I moisten very lightly, but do not stir it up. I simply turn in some water, hav- ing it warm in cold weather. After the feed of grain I feed hay, or corn stover cut and mixed with hay, some- times moistened, but a feed of some- thing dry immediately afterward, so the cows will go out and drink. After watering I give a feed of poorer qual- ity of hay. I want nothing but early cut English hay with clover predomin- ating, but most farmers have other varieties and must plan to make the beat use of them. The cows are through eating by 9 a.m., and get nothing till 3 p.m., when they are fed again, watered, have their grain ra- tion and are then milked' and left for the night. Upon frequent inquiry I am unable to find many farmers who pursue the same course with regard to the salting of their stock. I use good, eleun table salt. I have no garget or other milady among my cows, and I lay much stress oh the amount and daily feed of salt, and each returning year feed more of it. I do not always feed the same grain ration, hut think an occasional change beneficial. Corn and oats being so costly this winter. I have substituted middlings, or fine feed, as it is called. I think they will make full as much milk to the pound of feed as corn and oats. I have some high'grade Jersey cows giving 25 per cent. cream on a ration of two quarts bran, one and a half quarts middlings and a pint of cotton seed. I give this at each. feed, adding a tablespoonful of salt. With regard to cottonseed meal, I do not think there is any feed that will increase the amount of fat in the milk equal to it. I have experimented with it and found that I made enough more butter to pay for it. I am aware some people say it can be tasted in the butter. Ali I have to say is, if it is cottonseed which makes my butter taste so well. I wish everybody would try it, that there might be a more uni- form product. I do not think calves would thrive on the milk of cows overfed with cottonseed meal. BUILDDING A PIT FOR STORING VEGETABLES. Having more vegetables than I oan store in my vegetable cellar, I am building a piiwhich will make a very good substitute of an expensive vege- table cellar, and will certainly be an improvement on the earth pita often used in market gardens for storing vegetables, Wheat beets, carrots, turnips, potatoes, etc., are to he stored in 'pits oul of doors, the usual way is todiga pit three or four feet deep and about sir- feet wide, and of the requir- ed length. The vegetables are placed in the pit in sections three or four feet wide, and to a height of the level of the ground. Between the sections, sp es two feet wide are left, which are filled with earth. When the earth is put over the top you have several small pits, and you can take out t he vegetables from one pit without exposing the rest of the vegetables. Most vegetables, too, keep better when stored in small bulk. Such a'pit, says a writer in American Gardening, has the disadvantage that one must often dig the vegetables out of frozen ground for marketing in the winter, which isa difficult and disagreeable operation. For the market gardeners who do not wish to expend money in building vegetable cellars, I Pubmit the follow- ing plan of a pit which I: am building. First dig out for the pit a space three feet deep and six feet wide, and of the - required length. Planks two inches thick are placed against the sides and ends, then emotions are made six to ten feet long by putting in a double portion of planks, leaving a space be- tween them one foot wide to.be filled with earth. The top of the pit is alto planked to a wleBh of af:out three feet, and a plank set on edge along the top to hold the earth in place that is put on the plank. The sides and ends of the pit are well banked with earth and the planks on the top are - covered to a depth of one or two feet. When the pit is filled with vegetables, planks are laid over the uncovered part of the pit, and openings left. for ventilation, which are filled with straw in freezing weather. When more covering is needed, I cover the planks with straw, two or three feet deep, or enough to keep out the frost in the coldest weather anti plane boards on top of the straw to hold it in place. When the vegetables in one Pentifin are to he taken out., the hoards and straw are removed from the part of the top not covered with earth and the other section§ left covered. It lemuish easier to get ,at the vegetables in this way than lo dig up thefyazenearth to uncover the pit. IllesIdos the vatxet- ablee first mentioned, the pit may be used for storing cabbage Lf the roots are planted in the soil. By fitting a small sash in one side of one pit to admit light, it will also make a good price for storing cauliflower and cel- ery. I expeot to use the larger part of the pit I em now building for stor- ing celery for the late winter ppn ing celery for the late winter and spring supply. HOW TO CAREE FOR MANURE. Farmyard manure should be kept as near the surface of the soil as possible. The rain water as it percolates through the soil has a tendency to carry the soluble plant food downward and out of the reach of plants. Consequently an attempt should be made to delay the downward progress of plant food instead of assisting it by plowing the manure in deeply. Then again, nitri- fication Is most active near the sur -1 face of the soil. Therefore, manure kept near the surface is under more favorable conditions for having its plant t Pood made available and cense-' i quently gives quicker retuns. When a heavy application of man- ure has been plowed under deeply, it is no uncommon thing to see lumps of manure brought to the surface by sub- sequent plowing, showing that it had never become properly incorporated with the soil. It is quite probable, too, that this deeply buried manure has lost considerable nitro;en through denitrification. Economical manuring consists in obtaining quick returns over as large an area of the farm as possible, and this is accomplished by moderate applications incorporated with the surface soil. Shallow cover- ing of manure also increases the hum- us of the surface soil. As a result, the soil does not bake and crack in dry weather; it absorbs and retains water much more satisfactorily end works up intoafine tilth more easily. TASTE AND SMELL. Physics of These Senses Neglected -nigh er Development In AnlsimIS. While the physics of the senses of sight and hearing have attracted the attention of many philosophers and have been elucidated by numerous in- geniously contrived experiments, those of taste and smell have beer_ compare- i;ely neglected. The very phraseology by which we are accustomed to de- scribe the impressions which we re- ceive through these portals of sense is Indefinite, obscure and uncertain. There are, indeed,.several terms which would call up corresponding sensations in regard to the sense of taste, such as sweet, acid, alkaline, oily and mawkish; but our vocabulary is small in calling up sensations of smell and is almost limited to such general terms as plea- sant and unpleasant, pungent and aro- matic, fetid and fresh, which have none of the definiteness or precision that the terms blue or green possess in ordinary conversation or that the expression treble G gives to the musi- cian. Our memory of odors is in gen- eral very imperfect. Attempts have been made, but not very successfully, to establish a gamut of odors, and'it is difficult in many instances to dis- sociate the senses of smell and taste. Cuvier observed that these two senses are nearly allied to common sensation. In those animals which are only capable of breathing through the nose, like the horse, the extent of surface, ministering to the sense of smell is immense as compared with that of man. A large area of the nasal cavi- ties is covered with mucous membrane, which is thiok in both, studded with numerous acinous sterols, covered with stratified ciliated epithelium, supplied by the fifth pair of nerves, and is`rprob- ably dedicated to other functions than those of smell,' as, for example, the warming and moistening of the air, and its purification from dust before entry into the lungs. and a large por- tion also of the upper region seems merely to act as a periosteum to the frontal - and ethmoidal cells, and to possess but a small share of special sensibility. The turbinal bone, on the other hand, the volutes of the ethmoid, and a considerable area of the septum between the nostrils, is covered with% thin yellowish -red membrane, the epithelium of which is unprovided with cilia. to which the brunches of the olfactory nerves are distributed the uit.im,ate fibrils being traceable to the very surface covered by a thin layer of fluid and being well placed, therefore, for the perception of delicate impres- sions Common observation shows that while man is capable of perceiving a great variety of odors, many animals surpass him in the acuteness of their perceptions. The nature of these em- anat.fons. probably varies considerably, Water. which bas no smell to man, can be perceived by some .animals at con- siderable distances. Insects, and espec- ially those• of nocturnal habits, are guided to each other by their emana- tions, Judging from the actions of animals, the odors' of plants aro only in rare instnpces, as in the case of valer- ian by the cat, perceived, or at least' enjoyed. by the oanivora. Putrid meat ice devoured by the vulture and jackal, though it is not touched by many flesh -eating animals that feed on liv- ing prey, while it produces a kind of convulsion in many horses and mad- ness in the bull. SPAIN DOESN'T CARE. News of the Final Defeat Didn't interrupt the lIadrld Bullfight. If Sir Hugh Gilzen Reid be a Com- petentt observer, it would seem as if the citizens of the United States were. much more interested in the effects of the war and the work of the Peace Commission than are the people of Spain, despite the fact that the re- sults threaten atilt further disasters to their own country. en a letter to the London Echo he says: "Even, in the capital, with all its activities, there is little, if any, real interest in the peace negotiations which drag their slow length along at. Paris. On the very day that held the fate of Spain, and the decisive news from Cuba was expected, the bull ring, the Grand Casino, and all the thea- tres were thronged by •light-hearted a nd pleasure -loving crowds, nobles and peasants alike callous to defeat or vic- tory, When the fatal intelligence came, one who was on the spot tells me there was little, if any, emotion, and the wild festivities went on without in- terruption, the hull ring having a transfixed audience of over 14,000; history repeating itself; fiddling and the country in flames," THE CIIOCODTLE. Tbo moment that ayoung erocodiln breaks its shell it Is to all intents and purposes as active as it is at any time during its life.

Common carelessness lets the cold root and grow. Common carelessness says, between paroxysms of cough- ing, "It will be all right in a day or two," and the common end is con- firmed lung trouble, perhaps con- sumption. The common-sense treat - meat 'of a common cold is a prompt dose of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It is the most efficient and reliable cure for colds and coughs, and is con - gaudy prescribed by physicians. B. axlrtine,11.
