CHAPTER XII
LIGHTS AND SHAJDOWS
Down the walk she came from tho
house, light of step and graceful a> a
fawn, clothed in pure white, with roses
in her raven hair. She was coming
directly to her father, when she saw
me. She looked from me to him; his
smile at once seemed to arrest her at
tention.
"Why, papa, what has happened?"
she exclaimed. "You are almost laugh
ing! When did that happen before?"
"This is Dorr Jewett," he said, "the
son of iny old friend and schoolmate
in the north. Dorr, this is my daugh
"THlS IS I>ORR JF.WFTT," HE SAID.
ter, Coralie. He will be with us some
time, child. Everything musj be made
agreeable to him."
"Indeed, since lie has made you
smile, papa, I hope he will stay long. \
You are very welcome, Mr. Jewett."
With bewitching grace she extended
her hand. I took it, and new hopes
name to me. The world seemed bright
ening.
We walked up to the house together, i
We sat in the cool rooms with their
antique furniture. Mr. Bostoek had
become passive and silent, from the
fatigue, I thought, of unusual emo
tions. But I was rejoiced to see that
he looked often at me, and that my
presence seemed to have a good effect
on him.
I found Coralie charming, frank, un
affected. She wished to be told about i
the far northern states, their people
and their ways. All that I had to tell
interested her. Then she sang and
played for me exquisitely. It was the |
music of nature. The mocking bird's
song that I heard that night in the
magnolias was not sweeter.
At dinner Mr. Le Fevre, the overseer,
came in, and we were made acquainted.
He seemed a blunt man, but not rude,
and his reserve soon gave way to con
versation. I saw from the looks of
the house-servants that he was no
more a favorite indoors than out.
The quadroon girl who Ltood behind
Mr. Bostock's chair and pulled the}
cord that moved above the table a fanj
keeping a current of air circulating iia
the room—this girl I once observed
"making a face" at the overseer, when
he was looking elsewhere.
"I hope you did not whip Jerry," said
Mr. Bostock.
"No, sir, since you desired me not to.
Hut a thrashing would do the boy lots
of good."
"You are such a eruel man," the lady
remarked.
"Ah, Miss Coral, you'll never under
stand how lazy these niggers are,
when they're not followed close. If it
wasn't for me, your father wouldn't
have half a crop, any year. That
Jeremiah, for instance: he'd fish in the
bayou and play the banjo all day, if I
didn't look after him."
"We do have better crops under Mr.'
Le Fevre's management," said Mr.
Bostock. "Still, I don't see why he
has to drive up the field hands so.
They get along better on other planta
tions."
"I'll show you the difference when (
the cane is cut,-" said the overseer,
with his mouth full.
"I think Mr. Le Fevre would get on
easier with our people if he had .al
ways been at the south," said the lady.
"May be so. Miss Coral. I'm a Penn
sylvanian, and I camcdown here fresh,]
to learn about the niggers. I know'
'em! They want bossing, and a good
deal of it."
em! They want bossing, and a good,
deal of it."
Weeks passed swiftly by, and I re-i
mained at this delightful home. Re
membering my promise, I wrote to Mr.
Dorion, giving him a full account of
affairs here, and of the condition of his)
old friend. I *vill say here, that the
subject need not be again referred to,
that, while my presence and the recol-,
lections it recalled had a temporary
effect in withdrawing Mr. Hostock;
from the clouds that enveloped him,
that unfortunate condition soon re
turned. He was sunk in melancholy,
morose and peevish. There was never
a time when the sight of his child or
the sound of her voice would not cause
him to brighten for a moment, and I ]
could see that he sometimes tried to
shake off his shadows and converse, !
freely with me. But the effort was
vain. The decline of his physical
health was bad enough; but it was not :
to be compared to the changed condi
tion of his mind. I watched him nar
rowly, and I began to think that Mr.
Dorion was right. The man's mental
faculties were impaired; but there was
some mysterious terror, some haunting
dread back of* that condition. Ho
would sit for an hour sunk in moody
abstraction, and when suddenly ad
dressed would start, look wildly at his
daughter, anil recover his sense of his
surroundings slowly and with effort.
Could all this be the result of remorse,
the punishment of conscience for tho
slaying of Castex? No; for 1 recalled
Mr. Dorion's shuddering description of
the ferocity with which his friend had
avowed that he meant to kill his adver
sary. My watchings, and my reflec
tions by day and night, gave me no
clew to the mystery of the man's de
meanor, to the appalling change that
had come over him.
So the weeks passed. One week had
not gone when I was placed upon a
footing of charming, cordial friend
ship with the beautiful daughter of
this house. We read together, she
often aloud from old French romances,
in the original. She played and sang
to me; she told me all about this
strange region, with its natural won
ders. I told her of the White moun
tains and the grauitc hills, the snow
storms and the cold of winter. All
these things she had read of, but she
listened to my stories us though they
were leaves from some fairy chronicle.
And, most charming of all, we would
wander by the moonlight through tho
oak and magnolia grove; through the
wide fields gruen with the cane leaves,
to the edge of the impenetrable cy
press swamps, where the cry of the
pelican ai l the splash of the alligator
could Le heard.
Did I reflect as to whither all this
was tending? Did it gcyur to me that
MFTLKH. PA., FRIDAY. DECEMBER 1, 1893.
tiie seed I was sowing cotiW only come
to a bitter harvest of impossibili
ties? In fact. It: • no about
it. 1 let the dream fro on—the en
trancing', enrapturinp dream:
IJut my time was not all passed in
this way. I became well acquainted
with Le Fevre, and found that he was
much more blunt than brutal; though
the negroes all stood in fear of him.
He took me over the plantation and
explained the processes of cane-grow
ing", cutting and grinding. We went
over to New Orleans, put up for three
days at the St. Charles, and examined
the wonders of the crescent river
front with its forest of smoke-pipes
aud the busy scenes of the levee. We
strolled in the French quarter of this
unique city, which, within less than a
century, has been under Spanish,
French and American government; we
visited the market: we in the sub
urbs on the hard and shining- shell
roads. Back again at the La Fourehe
plantation, we went over to the ancient
French town of Thibodeaux. and dined
at an inn, where, except the bread. I
knew not the name of a single dish
that I ate.
11 was to me a season of glamour, a
happy time, that I knew must end,
somehow; yet I was treated precisely
as though I were to remain forever. I
wished not to break the spell; aud it
was only to test Mr. Bostock's feelings
toward me that I said to him one day,
when we were alone:
"I have been with >ju six weeks; is
that not a pretty long visit?"
lie roused himself and looked
troubled.
"You don't think of leaving mc.
Dorr?"
"Why, sir—you know I've got my i
own way to make, somewhere. This
is all pleasure and vacation."
"You like it here, then?"
"Indeed I do, sir. Everything is
charming."
"Stay, then. It does me good to have
you here. Stay till November, anyway.
I can't have you go so soon. Do you
want money?"
"No, sir/'
"Tell me whenever you do. Enjoy
yourself all you can- -and don't think
of going. I loved your father; I love
you."
His hand was laid affectionately on
my shoulder; a mist shone in his
weary eyes.
So that was settled—for a time. I
was not to leave him—nor Coralie.
But that night in my dreams the warn
ing face of Mr. Dorion came to me,
and I seemed to hear his words again:
"There is a fearful mystery hanging
over his past life. Ido not know, you
do rot know, how you may become
complicated with it, if you persist in
going on."
CHAPTER XIII.
THE SEW PttODICAL.
It was an evening of early Septem
ber that the first shadow fell upon my
pleasant existence at this home. Mr.
Bostock's habit was to retire early.
This night he had chosen to remain
up, and was sitting in his easy chair
upon the veranda. Coralie was at the
piano; I sat on the upper step, listen
ing to the laughter and banjo-strum
ming from the negro quarters. Le
Fevre sat lower down, smoking, en
gaged in his own thoughts. There was
no moon that night, and the tall fig
•a.
"YES I THINK HE'LL 81.1
ure that came up from the road was
upon us before we saw it.
"Does Pierce Bostock live here?"
The voice seemed familiar to me,
though I did not at first remember
where I had heard it.
"Yes," said the overseer, gruffly.
"What do you want?"
"I want to see him."
"Well, perhaps you can't. I attend
to his business mostly. He don't see
strangers."
"I am not a stranger. I reckon he'll
see me when he knows I am here."
Mr. Bostock suddenly roused him
self. "Who is that?" he asked.
"Yes, I think he'll see me," the
stranger loudly repeated.
I heard a sigh from the invalid, a
deep-drawn, troubled sigh.
"Tell him to go away," he faintly
said. "What makes him come here to
annoy me? I don't want to see him:"
"You hear, do you?" Le Fevre said,
Standing in front of thu stranger.
; "What d'ye mean, coming here to
trouble a sick man? You go, or I'll
find a way to help you."
"O, very well. If Mr. Bostock won't
see me, he'll hear of me. May be he'd
like to have mc take a turn around La
Fourclic and talk with the planters
about old times. Good evening."
lie turned on his heel.
"Stop!" said Mr. Bostock. "Tell him
to come in."
lie rose and walked into the parlor.
The stranger followed. Perhaps a due
regard for social propriety should have
restrained me from following; but the
impulse to do so, growing out of my
recognition of the voice and my power
ful interest in Mr. Bostock, was irre
sistible. As for the pugnacious over
seer, the sharp words that he had had
with the stranger and the constraint
under which the planter was acting
were sufficient reasons to cause him to
go in also.
Coralie had heard the sound of voices
and our entrance into the parlor. She
came in with a lamp. The stranger
was revealed. I had last seen him
when lie was put ashore by the captain
of the Cotton Queen.
He sat down on a sofa and stretched
himself out. Nobody else was seated.
His impudent eye ranged round over
the luxurious furniture of the apart
ment and coolly examined each one of
us. Then, to my astonishment and dis
gust, he took a cigar from his case and
scratching a match on the finely
grained panel of the wall he lit it and
began to smoke.
Le Fevre started forward.
"Say the word, Mr. Bostock, and I'll
pitch the insolent blackguard out of
here, neck and heels."
The planter sat down and groaned.
"No," was all he said.
The Intruder laughed, threw his
head , back, and blew rings of suioko
upward to the ceiling.
"You won't be so fast, my friend,
when you hear how good a right I've
got to be here. That's Coralie, I sup
pose?"
Mr. Bostoek gave a gesture of assent.
"Fine girl. Who might you be,
young fellow? I don't remember to
have met you before."
This was addressed to tne.
"I have seen you before, certainly."
"You have! Where?"
"Up the river, when you were put
ashore from the steamer for cheating
with cards."
I spoke from impulse, just as I often
acted. It would have been wiser for
me to keep the wort's back. A little
reflection would have told me that this
was a dangerous man. and that I ought
not needlessly to incur his enmity. But
I had spoken, and the shaft had gone
home. The man's evil face flushed and
paled, and he gave roe a vindictive look.
He addressed himself to Mr. Bostoek.
"My business Ls with you. sir. I
want nothing with these people."
With a slight pause, he continued:
"I was at Bontellier's, in New Or
leans, yesterday. For the first time,
he refused to advance me anything. I
only asked him for a hundred dollars.
He said you had stopped the account."
"It has been so long since I heard
anything of you—"
"That you thought I was dead—eh?
You hoped so, no doubt. If you'd
taken the trouble tosond to Boutellier,
he'd have told you that your money
never staj-cd very long in his hands."
Le Fevre whispered excitedly in my
ear:
"What the devil does this mean?
Since I have been there, the old man
has deposited thousands of dollars in
that bank, and not a cent has he
drawn from there. Who is this fel
low?"
"Tell me what you want," said the
planter. "You promised me years ago
that you would not come near ma
again. Go, now, and trouble me no
more."
"Give me two thousand dollars
first."
Mr. Bostoek turned to Le Fevre.
"Make a check on Jacob Barker,
New Orleans, for the amount payable
to bearer."
Nothing that had thus far happened
had greatly surprised me. I knew
about this man what was not known
to Coralie or Le Fevre; and. while she
stood in consternation by her father's
chair, the overseer did not cease to
regard the interloper with threaten
ing looks, as if he only wanted a little
more provocation to attack him with
his fists. Amazed as lie was by the
direction about the check, he went into
the other room, prepared it, and
brought it back on a book with a pen.
Mr. Bostoek signed it with trembling
fingers.
"Give it to him."
The overseer took it and threw it
upon the lounge. The man who lay
there glanced at it and thrust it into
his pocket.
"Go," said the planter.
"Pretty soon; don't hurry me. You
must remember that we haven't met in
many years. All your own fault; you
would have it so. Now you have com
pelled me to come here to get money,
you've got to acknowledge me."
"No—no!"
"You will! You're likely to die be
fore I do; and where shall I come for
money then? You know I was only a
boy when we moved from here; I might
find it hard to get myself recognized
around here. It would be easier near
Vicksburg; but I want the witnesses
right here, in your own family. Tell
these people who I am."
"You are one of the devils who has
helped to make my life miserable,"
was the despairing cry of the planter.
"Will yon tell them?"
"No."
"Very well. All La Fourche shall
know the whole truth to-morrow.
Mark me—the tcholc truth. I say!"
lie turned todepart. Again he was
recalled.
"Do you promise to keep that secret?
Do you promise never to return here?"
"I will keep the secret. I will not
return here in your lifetime—provided
you keep my account good at Le Bou
tellier's. Now tell them!"
"Hold me up. Dorr—Le Fevre, stand
back; this scoundrel must be satisfied
and silenced. He wants me to tell you
that he is my son, Conrad Bostock.
That is true, I acknowledge it."
His head fell on his breast; his
breath came hard and labored. His
daughter placed her arm about his
'•THIS SCOUNDREL MVS'. BE PAT 13FIED
AND SILENCED."
neck, and put her vinaigrette to his
nostrils.
The gambler got upend looked with
malignant triumph at the group.
"That's all, I believe," he drawled.
"Coralie, I'm quite happy to have so
fine a girl for a sister. You won't see
your dear brother ugain for some time;
that is, if your dutiful father behaves
himself. Come and kiss me, my chick
enl"
The girl gave a cry of disgust, and
put out both hands to keep him off. I
started toward him; but Le Fevre was
too quick for me. The abundant
wrath that he had been storing up for
the last half hour could no longer bo
restrained. His powerful arm shot
out straight from the shoulder, and
Conrad Hostock sprawled his length
on the carpet. He rose, confused and
bleeding, caught one glance at tho
angry countenance of the overseer,
snatched his hat and disappeared.
The planter seemed unconscious of
what hud last happened. Ho raised
his eyes and looked around him.
"Is he gone?" he eagerly asked.
"Yes. father. What was it—"
"Sh, child, don't aslt me anything.
He is gone; he won't come back. Did
he say anything about you, Corry?"
"lie wanted to kiss me—the odious
beast!—and good Mr. Le Fevre struck
him."
"I'm sorry for that; Conrad is re
vengeful. But he Kdid nothing about
you?"
"No, father."
The planter seemed greatly relieved
at the answer.
"I'll go to bed, now, child. 1 am very
weary with all this."
When Coralie had withdrawn with
him, Le Fevre sat and stared blankly
at me.
"What's all this?" he blurted out.
I felt the shadows descending over
this house: I knew now that they
would involve me, for too plainly did
I see by the anxious inquiries of Mr.
Bostock that Coralie was concerned in
the mystery—and'Coralie was becom
ing all the world to uie. The hard,
rugged nature of the overseer was
crossed with hearty human streaks;
tho events of the night had shown that
he was u true friend to this old man
i and his child. So l told him all I
knew of Pierce Bostock and his way
ward son, and all that Sir. Dorion had
told me of thctn. lie listened atten
tively. and shook his shaggy head.
"This is all new to me." lie said.
"What in Satan's name it means, I
don't know. But I do know that if I
catch that scoundrel about here Fll
duck him in the bayou."
[TO BE COSTISCCO.J
ZULUS ARE FATALISTS.
Royal Servant* Allowed ThrmulrM to Ik
strangled on Their Master's t.rave.
"Kings of the Zulus must not go to
the place of thedej»«i alone." Tb's has
beeu a national *'4ying of the Zulus
in southeastern Africa for centuries,
says a writer in the African News. And
they have seen it carried into effect,
until prohibited by the British, who
now dominate their country.
On the death of a king, certain
sons were killed, generally strangled,
and those were the immediate servants
of his majesty. One would suppose
that individuals suspecting their prob
able fate would endeavor to escape, but
I have been told that rarely if ever was
this the case. A sort of fatalism at
taches to them, and they say. as Zulus
often do when anticipating calamities:
"We can't help ourselves; we are the
victims of fate." Possibly some of
them comforted themselves with the
belief that if they accompanied their
sovereign to the unknown world, they
would Ik* supremely happy.
Their dead bodies were so arranged
in the grave that the royal corpse* ly
ing upon them might not touch the
earth. A large llat stone was placed
above the king's head, and into his
grave were thrown all his belongings
—mats, ornaments and robes of state,
consisting chiefly of the skins of wild
animals, of the most costly kind. Then
the national dirge, used only at royal
funerals, an exceedingly pathetic one,
was chanted by the thousands of Zulus
assembled. A large mound of earth
with stones and thorns upon the top
marks the place of the burial, which
is watched closely for weeks and some
times months, to keep witch doctors
from stealing any part of the body,
which is supposed to have power to
work charms and even miracles. Zulus
have a sacred regard for the graves of
their kings, and they rispect also the
graves of their enemies.
During the "Zulu war" those "sav

HOW GRAVITATION VARIES.
Probably Caused by Subterranean Tom
motions.
That changes, involving the displace
ment of immense masses, are going on
within the earth is one of the sug
gested explanations of some observa
tions recently announced in France.
It has been found at the Pare St. Maur
observatory that the' force of gravita
tion, or the weight of bodies, under
goes daily variations. These are ren
dered sensible by placing in the earth
a tube containing a column of mercury
balanced by the pressure of hydrogen
contained in a closed vessel connected
with the tube, and registering by
means of photography the alterations
in the level of the mercury.
After all corrections have been made
for the effect of changes of tempera
ture, it appears that certain sudden
variations in the level of the mercury
are only to be explained on the theory
that they are due to changes in gravi
tation. These variations last from fif
teen minutes to an hour. They are, of
course, very small, amounting at a
maximum to only one-twentieth of a
millimeter, but they may imply very
great displacements of matter in the
interior of the globe.
It has been suggested that similar
experiments should be conducted in
the neighborhood of active volcanoes,
where liquefied rock is moving beneath
the surface, and other disturbances of
the strata of the earth are taking plaoe.
Such facts as these present to the
imagination a very formidable picture
of tlie gigantic commotions that ac
company the slow cooling and contrac
tion of the globe, on whose hardened
crust we rear our edifices, wondering,
when some of them are occasionally
shaken down by earthquakes, at the
instability of apianet that is apparent
ly so solid.
A Queer Little Animal.
The ineekrat of South Africa bears
a resemblance to the American prairie
dog, but is more easily domesticated.
It is a tiny little creature about as big
as a rat, very intelligent and affection
ate as a dog when tamed. It barks
and chatters and purrs, is an inveter
ate thief and spends in uch of its time
standing upright. Its fur is gray,
marked somewhat like a tabby cat,
and it is,wholly without fear. The
dog is its favorite animal, and when
tamed the meekrat invariably attaches
itself to the most good-natured dog in
the house. When wild these little an
imals live in colonies as the prairie
dogs, burrowing their homes under
ground, living on roots. They express
supremo satisfaction by lying Hat
down and stretching themselves out
%;o that they seem like a flat skin with
out any bones inside it. The little
creatures have black circles around
their eyes, a stripe running underneath
their bodies for its entire length and
long, curving black claws on their lit
tle forepaws.
Savagerj of tho CoMUcki.
The wild Cossacks, living away down
in the southernmost part of the Rus
sian empire, spend most of their time
harassing the Turks. They are pe
culiarly savage in appearance. Their
uniform is the Cossack coat, full trous
ers, scarlet undercoat hooked up to the
neck, big boots, and as an overcoat they
wear a bourka, a circular cloak made
of coarse felt with long, shaggy hair on
one side of it. This cloak is big enough
to cover the rider and much of tho
horse. The most distinctive point in
their dress, however, is the cylindrical
hat of black astrachan which they
wear at all seasons. The top is of
cloth or velvet. They form part of the
Russian cavalry and live principally
on plunder, stealing, during their
raids into Turkey, anything they can
find, from a chicken to a child.

FOR MARKETING EQGS.
How tu I'rrtnt IM< and lb* AnnofUN ;
Incident Thereto.
Carrying fifteen dozen eggs to market j
in one basket, piled one upon another, |
has before this resulted >D such disaster j
as to call forth a proverbial warning j
about putting all one's eggs in a basket.
Yet hundreds of farmers carry all their
eggs to market piled one upon another,
and either carry back some of them in
a cracked or decidedly "scrambled"
state, or are obliged to drive with
extreme caution.
A better way is to (ret the pasteboard
fillers that are used in the double egg
crates, and then construct a neat,
square box, as shown in the illustra
tion, that will just accommodate a sin
gle tier of tho egg fillers, with paste
board between each. This box should
be made of light stuff—take an empty
shoe box that one can procure at the
shoe stores The box can be made en
tire, and the cover part then sawed off
evenly all the way round, when tho
hinges and catch can be put on. A
stout barrel hoop well smoothed and
bent into shape will make a good han
dle for a small box.
Let the box be of just the right size
to hold the eggs gathered during a few
days. If these are then promptly
marketed, everyone being clean and of
good size, something above ordinary
market rates will be gladly paid for
them. If, however, an "egg is an egg"
to your local buyer, whether old, fresh,
dirty, clean, big or little, then keep a
sufficient number of hens to make it
profitable to ship to some city dealer
who will appreciate a good thing. In
that case, a number of these small egg
boxes may be fonnd just the thing. If
used for shipping, the handles should
be omitted and end cleats added. —
Country Gentleman.
AMONG THE POULTRY.
IF a hen can be made to lay one egg a
week she will pay the cost of keeping.
EVEN in winter it is an item to have
dust for the fowls where they can flut
ter at will.
IT is a good plan to cull out and sell
early all the chickens that are not to be
wintered.
IT is when the hens are idle and close
ly confined that they are most liable to
fall into the habit of feather pulling.
THE objection to throwing out the
egg shells to the hens is the liability of
tlieir getting into the habit of eating
effgs.
IN caponizing, the earlier a bird
reaches maturity in his natural stata
the earlier the operation should be per
formed.
IN obtaining the highest prices from
special customers, it will pay to put all
the eggs of one color together before
sending to market.
CHICKS that give promise of proving
standard fowls will thrive much better
if the culls are removed and more room
in the quarters and a freer range given
to those that are to be kept
ON the farm, at least, the fowls
should have a good range, as they will
pick up much that would otherwise go
to waste, and in this way the cost of
feeding be greatly lessened.
DIARRHEA may often be mistaken for
cholera, as the symptoms at the start
are nearly the same. As so<jn as tho
birds are affected they have a downcast
look, become sleepy, lose strength and
have more or less fever.
PROPERLY managed, an incubator
will hatch fully as many eggs in pro
portion as the average hen, especially
during the winter. But it is necessary
to fully understand the machine and
to give proper care in order to obtain
the best results. Now is a good time
to buy and try an incubator, as it will
give plenty of time to get accustomed
to managing it before it is necessary to
fill for hatching.—St. Ixmis Republic.
Little Drop* or Water, Etc.
There Is a fashion of depreciating
such small industries as the care of
poultry on farms as being below the
ambition of a farmer and rather to be
considered as contemptible than de
serving. But, as a rule, small things
seem small to small minds, while the
more intelligent look upon small things
more in the light of parts of a whole,
to be considered in the aggregate.
There are farmers who make less
money clear from twenty acres of
wheat than the wife gains from her
fowls or from her well-cared-for hives.
Indeed, this may remind us of what the
great poet, the lover of rural things,
said of this small business of keeping
bees: "Labor in tenui, at gloria non
tennis," which means that labor be
stowed on a trifling matter may bring
rewards that are not trilling. Every
little thing on a farm should count. It
is the aggregate of many little ears of
grain that makes the farmer's income;
and to pick a snowy ball of cotton by
the nimble fingers is a trifling thing,
but many balls and many fingers go to
make up the great aggregate of 4,000,-
000,000 pounds of this staple, which,
were it not gathered, would desolate
the whole civilized world. Truly,
r>ma)l things are not to be despised, if
it is but a single bee or a helpless one
day-old chick.—Rural World.

STRAW FOR STOCK.
Vet a Complete rood, Bat a Tttr
osbl* Auxiliary.
When oats and wheat have not been
allowed to get too ripe before harreafc
Ing and the straw haa been properly
stacked at threshing so that it wlij
keep in good condition it make* a wood
rough feed to use during the winter.
It is not a complete food, however, and
therefore needs to be used io connec
tion with other materials in order tq
give the best results. As it does net
supply all the elements of nutrition ia
the right proportion to maintain a
thrifty growth an animal must eat
more than it can properly digest la
order to grow on straw alone. Bat by
combining it with other materials a
wholesome, economical ration can be
made up that will not only, use the
straw to good advantage, bnt also
lessen the cost of wintering the stock.
For cattle and sheep one of the beet
ways of feeding is to take the same
quantity of clover hay as of straw and
add one-eighth the weight of wheat
bran. Better results can be obtained
if the straw and hay are first run
through a cutting box and the bran is
added afterwards; there will be leas
waste and a more perfect ration will
be made. A little oil meal may be
added, which, while increasing the ooet
but little, will greatly improve It*
nutritive value.
If run through a cutting box aad
bran and oil meal added a very good
ration can be made up that will keep
growing cattle or sheep thrifty.
If hay or corn fodder with a little
grain is given at night, give all of the
straw the stock will eat In the morn*
ing. As long us the weather will per
mit a good plan of management is to
provide good racks in the feed lots and
fill with straw and turn the stock to
them in the morning, giving then all
that they will eat. This will be found
much more economical than to allow
them to run up to the stack.
Later on, or, rather, when the weather
will not permit of turning the stock
out, the mamgers can be filled and what
is not eaten can be used for bedding,
and in this way material that in many
cases is largely wasted can be nsed to
a good advantage, while at the same
time the stock can be kept in a much
better condition than if they must de
pend upon straw alone. —St. Louis Re
