How TO SAVE IIAY.-The economy Of cat
t!e food Of all kinds, is a subject which de-
mandS The farmers closest attention. y cor
respondent Of the Wisconsin "Farmcr,' in
answer to the question, how much hay will
keep good sized horse per day or per year ?
says: -
Il have asked this question many times,
and universally receive for an answer, IL
don't know Wen, do, having kept hor-
SEES for twenty years from five to twenty at a
time. | concluded | would know. Five
pounds Of hay at feed or fifteen pounds per
day with the usual allowance Of oatmeal
Twelve quarts per day OF its equivalent in
eleven hundred and fifty pounds weight-in
is amply sufficient; some will keep on CON
siderable less but this Is fair average, and
can be r2ckoned on as sufficient for tue first
hundred horses you find
In connection with this subject, I will
state that have Eecn feeding from four to
five horses for the last three months with cut
feed, the advantages Of which | hold to be
equal to many times the cost of the best cut
ting box in the State, where several horses
are kept. In the first place it is economy to
cut feed so far as its consumption is concern
cd, less feed being wasted than when fed
whole or uncut. Again, straw or corn ks
can be mixed with hay to the amount oronc-
third or one.haIl Of the quantity fed, and if
we'll prepared, the animals will eat it clean,
and will thrive better, and in all respects it
will well repay for the time and expense over
the common method oiiecding.
One consideration oiquitc equal importance
is, that our horses are free from cough or
hcaves which are inscparable from feeding
clover or dusty hay, unless cut and well
damptned.'
There is great deal Of good every. day
common sense in the above. The general
adoption Of the cut feed system, would, in
seasons like the present. when hay is scarce
and high tend greatly 10 the promotion Of
the farmer interest in that direction, while
the beneficial effects which 1t is almost Ger.
tain exert upon the health of horses parlic-
ularly are of the highest importance.

Cost OF THE WAR IN ITALy.-A German
paper has made the following calculation of
the sums actually expended by different coun'
tries IN Europe in supporting the late cam
peign. besides those raised by the neutral
powers in consequence of the war. This is
only an roXmalion. as the writer says
that it is impossible TO estimate the absolute
cost ota war; since its influence on trade and
industry, though immense, is Indefinite

Facts About the Body,

There are about two hundred bones in the
HUMAN body, exclusive Of the teeth. These
bones are composed of animal and earthly
materials. the former p,cdomnating in youth
and the latter in old age, rendering the bones
brittle. The most important Of the bones
is the spine, which is composed of twenty
| four small bones. called the vertebrm, one
on top Of the other, curinusly hooked
together and fastened by elastic lgaments,
forming pillar by which the human body is
supported.
The bones are moved by the muscles. of
which there are more than five hundred
The red meat or beef. the fat beng excluded

two sets of muscles, one to draw the bones
one way, and another to draw them back
again. We cannot better describe the mus.
| cles tLan by comparing them to fine elastic
| thread bound up in their cases of skim
Many muscles terminate IN tcndons, which
| are stout cords, such as NAV he seen travcrs-
ing the back of the hand, Just without the
skin. and which can be observed to move
when the hand is open or shut. Every
motion we make even the involuntary one Of
breathing, Is performed through the agency
of muscles.
