FEEDING STOCK.

Da yborthousG urged the ad visibility of following nature as closely as possible. He pointed out that cattle turned loose in the fields almost invariably cat only three times a day, and remain in a recumbent position the greater part of the time during which they arc not partaking food. The doctor drew a comparison between horses treated as he advised and those continually eating. He alluded to the baneful effect of pampering and overfeeding young horses. Of oats, the best to use for food, according to authorities quoted, are those of light weight, and hayracks should never bo placed above the manger, aj they used to be. With reference to the feeding of store cattle, he said that cows should never be fed oftener than four times a day, even three times being preferable. The supply of water, too, should not only bo pure, but unlimited in quality. Ho recommended his hearers not to milk cows in the prevalent fashion, which he would describe as the “ bell-rope method,” Young animals sucking their mothers do exactly the reverse of the usual method, not attempting to extract the milk by sheer brute force, but giving a sort of push upwards upon the udder, that having the effect of relaxing the sphincter, and the milk flows freely.

AH at once the murderer, who was an Huronlcs in strength and stature, shouted, “ Stand back ! This is no time for a row. lam guilty. Let the law take its course. lam a man, and I can die like a man.” The rescuers shrank back quite appalled. The sheriff, with a heavy heaWlßPFhploicd his preparations, the trap was sprung and the brave malefactor fell and died without a struggle.
