COWS CLEANING
A cow that does not clean rls
is generally sbout half a cow for that
season, hence the necessity for gaard

boiled oats with just the same, or, if
possible, even better results. As boil
ing the oats, however, seemed at time
quite an addition to the work about
the dairy, I concluded to try and feed
them dry, believing that a cow's sto
nach would bring them to about the
same consistency as the boiling. Dm
ing eight or nine years that I have
pursued this method I have not had «

The cod
The glad, free smile of the codfish is
jargely attributed to the exhilaration of
this oceanic altitoodleum,
The correspondent further says that
“the cod subsists largely on the sea
cherry.” Those who have not had the
pleasure of seeing the codfish climb the
sea cherry tree in search of food, or
clubbing the fruit from the heavily-
laden branches with chunks of coral,
have missed a very fine sight.
The codfish, when at home rambling
through the submarine forests, does
