' According to Herr von ruttkam- mer, the Prussian Minister of taucauon. there has been a steady increase of crime and immorality in the great towns of Germany during the last ten years ; and the Minister declared in Parliament the other day that this unsatisfactory state of things had not been without ef fect on the teachers of elementary schools, except in Berlin. .

'They'are toooften,' nnwilling to give a liberal ration even for the month before calving. As the cow is not giving milk,: they. think it sufficient! to feed enough to teep her from losing: flesh rapidly. If they quite understood the rationale of milk production they would have, the greatest confidence in the cow as a saving's bank fox , surplus food. A good cow can always be trusted to repay with . liberal interest all the extra food she can digest .during the time she goes dry. Such a cow U usu ally thin after a season of milking, and unless she is fed so liberally as to recover her fleshy condition, she will not- give her full quantity of milk. Every dairy man is familiar with the fact that a good cow, coming in in full flesh, will milk down thin unless liberally fed during the making season, l hey ought to see from this that the extra nesh is laid np in win ter to be withdrawn daring the sum mer.' Every pound of extra flesh represents about one gallon of milk, to be drawn during summer." If two cow3 of equal milking quality are taken, the one poor and the other in good flesh on coming in milk, and both placed in a good pasture, the One in good condition will be likely to yield a. gallon of milk in excess of the other, during the sea son for every pound of .extra flesh she possesses over the other, if dairymen would make such accurate .observations upon the effect of condition .upon milch cows as they have1 every opportunity to do-! they would require no argument to induce- them to- feed their dry cows most liberally The dairyman who has not fed his cows as wen as his interest r5nired .darjn? ,the Part' A winuir anrnun nil wnnr rt u rnn Tr r. winter, should do what he can to re cover his lost ground, by feeding judi ciously during the few weeks left.
