Johnson thug explains the theory of
mixed food: "To throw cured maize
fodder out into the cattle jard.or to
feed it in the stall as hay is fed, is
highly wasteful. It cannot be fed alone
or as an adjunct to hay; to use it profit
ably it must be finely cut and well
mixed or alternated with maize or cot
ton seed meal, bran or some similar
material. Maize meal and similar arti
cles contain too much albuminoids, fat.
and starch for healthy and economical
cattle food; maize fodder contains too
little of these and too much coarse fibre;
the two should be mixed."
Socrates.
A great man never dies. 'Many of
those who listen to Socrates to-day know
not who speaks, but none the less it is
his voice which utters many of the prac
tical precepts which guide their lives.
Intellectual and moral eminence these
make a god-like man. A remarkable de
velopment of Ills moral and religious
nature, united to a keen and untiring
intellect, made Socrate9 the father of
ethical philosophy. In the teachings of
Archelaus' his instructor, and in the
disputations habits of the Athenians,
may be found the influences which
directed his mind to moral qnestions.
It was with a mighry hand that
Socrates wielded that powerful instru
ment. Greek dialectics, or the method
of reasoning by questions and answers.
To this Socrates added Zeno's negative
method, or the development of all
possible oljections to a proposition.
