Feeding Regularly

Success in feeding operations doos not depend altogether upon feeding liberally. The usual supply of Jood sbould be given with regularity ; and wben the time comes at which the stock should be fod, nothing should serve as au excuse for delar. Tho system becomes accustomed to the times at which food is taken ; and if tho fcod is not taken at these times, derangemelit and in jury are Bu:e to result. When the stock is not fed at the proper times, the animáis are disappointed and thrown into a state of nervous Rxcitement and anxiety, highly derogatory to their improvement. And any ono who has heard a lot of cows lowing up and down the yard, or seou and heard a lot of pigs squealing and rushing froni one side of the pen to tbe other, because the hour at which they have been accustomed to receive their food had been suffered to pass without it, need not be told that sueh animáis are not only not. in the way of improveinent, but tlipy are actually losiDg ground. Bnt this ex oi temen t and worry is not the only evil reult whioh foüows the deliiy in giving food, the appetito and digestivo apparatus beoome deranged, and gome animáis will gorge themselves to suoh a degree as to become quite uncomfortable, even if not mado actually tiok, while others will not take as muoh as they rehuiré. The successful farmer will nevor allow lii stock to become hungry even for tho shortest length of time, and fiarla it to hia advantage to keep his stock coinfortaLle, to preserve thern from excitcment of all descriptions, and to keep their digestivo organs in a state of tho highest health. To secure success, there should bo stated intervals for feeding, and these intervals ehould be stricüy observed. - National Live Stock Jovrnnl.

Was the original proprietor of that kam, when in an unsalted con ditkm, corn-fed or othemvise ?

Montrello, United States Indian Agent at Lupwai, Idaho'Trrritory, wrote commissioner Smith as follows; "Havel the right, thisbeing a Presbyeriun agency and mission, to exercise nc'.i control over the moráis of this people a'i will enable me to prohibit the teaching of the Catholic faith orthe holding of tho Catholic service aruong them, even though the Indians drsire it and clamor for it 'r ' To which qucjry and othors Commissioner Siuith made auswer : '■ I have to say ,hat the fact that your agency 13 under tho charge of tha Presbyterian Cburch does not warrant any intolerant exerciso of power, and that whilü it 19 supposed n all cases that tho mission work should ie donü under the direction of the reliioua body nominating the agent, vel whero thero uro persons haring nnotlier aith and desiring religieus services of their own, it is not in accordar.ee with public policy or the spirit of religious toleration :o forbid or hinder such servioea in any way." REST. - Much interest has been exhibed in Boston over an articletbat appenred in the Journal of that city, entitled " Rest." One correspondent requests that it bo kapt at the head of the paper for all time. The artiole is wellworthy theconsidnration of men in otber citios besides tho Hub. The theory of the writer is a very simple and sensible one. He holds that men do not kill themselves so uiuch by overwork aa by the iaattentioa to the eommon laws of health. They eatat iniproper hours, they do not exercisp, they neglect tbo prime essential, sleep, thoy broak down, and overwork gets tho blanu!. A man is like au ene;ine ; he will stand a certain amount of high pressure, and no more. Half tire quatrelí and litigationsin the world, says the correspondent referred, to are eausod by bad difiostion, and we think ho is pretty nearly correct. i i fc in
