^^^ytiH^i- Feeding Caltie Loose or Tied. Now that th* current is sett ing from milk production to ooof production, th e qutitioa of winter feeding aatnmo* an importance which could not b* clsime.l for It daring recent years. And when w* think of the large quantities of food fed during tha finwhiog peri*d, aad of value f the eaine, it will bo at one* apparent that in* work should bo dene in a way that will ousahin* economy an*ff*ctiven< i> a mark*.', degree.

Aad the system of feedaag out ol dooro or with shod* for shelter which ai only half warm enough, will cartawry b* attended with a moat aeriou* wast* of food, a* snach f th* food will b* used in keeping th* animal* warm. I'he true system would sesm to bo a m*aa between thsae, that i* te say to provide shod room which would b* warm enough to keep th* animals in comfort, wh*n in th* same aad in ths coldest days of tbe ytar. In thu way th*y would b* fed, but they woald not b* tiod. Thu would moan that they would need to be dehorned. Although they w*r* not tied it would bo well nsverthsi***, to hav* stalls of cheap construction with a manger in front w that they could to* 1 in then* without undue crowding, and if water could b* furnished within toe same, th* advantage would b* groat a* compared With naving it la somo plac* whi*h would Merit. late driving th* cattle out nf th* bonding whoa they were to partake of Water. TV* aim in thi* article i* to giv* only aa ontlia* ef th* ajretcm now being eoasiderod. Tb* detail* will vary in some tospeete, at !o**t with th* locality, and lasts d*tail* must >W a*e***ity b* suppliod by th* individual who controls tn* work. But making shie allowance for those varia- tions, tho to flowing features of construc- tion IB tbe shed*, aad of management in handling th* uastl* would seem to bo operative everywhere : Kirsl th* sbo hould bo warm. They should b* wai nougb to keep th* thermometer under animal conditions, in tha neighborhood of, ay fifty degree*. Board* and tar paper can be made to secure such a result without great cost. Second, they should b* well lighted to facilitate in* work of feeding. In v*ry col I sections it may b* well to have two thicknesses of glass with an air pac*b*tw**nth*m. Third, th*ymu*tb*woll ventilated. This is easily accomplished by haviag box ventilator* run from the ground ap th* wall* inside aad under, the roof to tbe ridge of tho same. Fourth, they should havsmors or loos room for ctoring in* food overhead more will be much better than less. Fifth, convenience in feeding should b* studied. When th* *h*d* ar* oblong in shape, it IB usually convenient for th* fee.isr to b* able W run a oar down a pas- ags in th* center en each side ef which the manger* ar* placed. Tb* oar may bo imply- a oart with there wheels, and a box for noiding t her * food. And sixth, there houM he aa arrangement of tbe doors whitb would admit of easy access to team aad was>oa for th* parpoo* of removing th* manure. Sueb aa arrangement woald b* labor aavi*| in aa eminent degree a* compared with stall-feeding. There would be no loaning of th* -tables, no tying or sntymg of the oattl* to let thesu oat for exercise or to ukf wator, and a* difficulty in keeping them free from an accumulation of filth about th* hip*, a* there i* sometime* with animal* ti*d in th* stall. But of oourae, they would need to he plentifully supplied with bedding front day to day. But one of tho greatest advantage* of feeding eat tie thai arise* from th* fin* Quality of th* manure. Th* litter, th* topping*, and th* liquid portion* are blended in the mo*t effective manner poa- ible. Nothing is lost. Th* manure tnu* mad* may be drawn to the fields at once whenever desired, for in the sheds it would nsv*r freeze, sheds in which manure frone* would l>o too cold for cattle that were being fattened. Such manur* coulii b* applied without a particle of loos in th* manurial constituents. Some feeder* en gage in the work chiefly for the saks of the manur* which it furnishes them. They have l*arat>d by *xp*ri*nc* that the fer- tility tha* obtained ha* rendered great service to them in conducting the ordinary operation* of the farm. Of course, it i* very desirable to hav* a profit in addition to th* manure, and thi* can usually b* obtained where judgment is used in buying th* eattle for feeding and alao in feeding them. Bookkeeping- on the Farm. Th* keeping of accounts is almost an absolut* neoeaaity to a farmer s succeaa. If ws should b* asked what is th* great himlerance to th* advancement of the or- dinary farmer*, w* should reply the want of come systematic mod* of keeping farm accounts. If w* should aak them th* co*t of raising 90 bushels of corn; or of making 100 Ibs, of pork or beef, how many could . give an answer based on actual calculation? Bat tew of the farmers can giv* you tho n*t income of their farm* and ia reality they don't know whether they ar* progress. lag or retrograding. What would be th* future destiny of tho busiuss man wer* h* to conduct his affair* in such a shiftloa* way ? Th* reason farmers do not mor* frequent. ly fall is that their busine** is comparative- ly limited. Tho farm sustains the family aad ths family takes oar* of the farm. How ar* wo to decade what oropa pay boater te raiae if w* keep no accoo.nl of Msotrtipsn*a*T kiaay ar* ta* fanners ta do not believe tn experimenting, for they have fallen into th* old rut of their ances- tors and refuse to get out. But the time is near at hand when they will b* compelled to adopt new way* and different pUns or fall behin I the more enterprising. With some it ie a great task to writ* down io th* evening the result* of th* day. 1 hey can tell ia the field for twelve hour*. hot half an beur with th* pan ia not to b* thought of. Possibly some of the younger member* of tbe family would b* willing to undertake ths work if th* father would eneoarage them. At ail event*, an account- book should be kept, in which the farm i* barged with all it* xpena** and credited with all it* receipts. And a minute record ibould be kept of each crop, showing cost ef labor, fertituar, seed, etc., and crediting it witn aU the return*, whether disposed f in th* market or fail on th* farm. Th* saosa attention should b* given the live stock, so a* to decide by actual calcu- lation, not by more goeeework, whieb breed is th* m*Mt profitable to raise. Th* qnoa- ti*a that ia a* present agitating th* mind* of th* farmer* in thi* locality is, will it pay bettor to feed whoa* to hog* than to mar- k*t it ? How are they to decide It unless by experimenting and keeping an account ? Some ef th* more thoughtful ones have "tak*n unie by th* forelock." aad have (ally convinced themselves a* to ths profit*, so with them thi* year it i* no experiment r gueeework, but actual fact* based upon oarafml experiments ta the pact.

I did not do anything for about a year a* 1 wished to get cured. All this time iry unns was tainted with blood, although 1 was sutlering no pain, but this abnormal condi- tion wa* a source of continual anxiety. I finally wont to the lien*rai Hospital, where tbe physician in marge advise.) me Lo stay, which I did. After remaining there for five weeks with no benefit, a consultation of physicians was held and aa operation suKgrittod, to vhicii I trrs nme agroed. Attar th* operation wa* performed I was no better, my condition remaining abso- lutely unchanged. From till* out I was con unually trying meiliciors and phyaicians but dsriwed no benefit from anything or anyone.

But I wa* in a state of constant anxiety, as I felt myself getting weaker all- th* time, and was listless and sleepy and weak in the leg*. I wa* also pa's an i ill-looking, no doubt owing W the loss of blood. From a naturally cheerful man I became morose, aad gave up sll hopes of ultimate recovery. On* Saturday, some months ago, while walking along Bleury street, having seen the advertisement of I >r. Williams' Pink Pill* in th* Montreal Herald, I stepped at John T. Lyons' drug (tore, and bought a box. I had tried so many medicines that I said to myself, 'If they don't, cure me I caa't b* any worse otfth.n before.' After taking the tint box I felt stronger and moro cheerful, although there wa* no change in the bloody condition of my urine. But I felt encnuraced and got three more boxes, determined to make a thorough trial of I'mk Piils. After I had finished the second box I found my urine was getting clearer, so I continued the use of the pills, taking two after each meal. When I had finished the third box my urine wa* quite clear, for th* first time in three years. 1 was delighted, and continued takmg tho pill* until I had fiuiahad six boxes, I am strong now and have had no recurrence of the trouble, aad s* you can ae*, th* flush of health shows iteelf in my face.

"I am willing," aaid Mr. Frank, in conclusion, "to see anyone who wisho* to verify thi* interview, a* I oousidsr it my duty to my f*llow-ien anil a matter of gratitude to the marvellous cure their medicine has effected.
