Feeding whole Grain % Cattle.

1t is an expensive system Of man
agement to feed whole grain to any
kind of animals. All kinds of Ger
cal grains are provided with a
tough hull or skin, which the diges-
tive powers of most animals will
not dissolve; consequently, if the
skin is not broken before the grain
enters the stomach, the kernels will
pass off with the droppings without
affordiag the animal that swallowed
the grain any more nourishment
than fragments of wood Of equal
size.
During the month of August last
the writer procured quantity Of
horse manure for top dressing straw
berry plants, and in a few days af-
ter the mulch was spread around
the plants, the unbroken kernels OF
oats vcgetatcd, so that the entire
surface Of the ground appeared as
green as a lawn. The fact showed
conclusively, that much Of the grain
had never afforded the animals that
swallowed il any nourishment at all
Young horses having sound and
sharp teeth will sometimes crush
every kernel. But old horses with
poor teeth frequently swallow hall
their mess Of oats without breaking
the skin of the kernels.
When mills at a distant, and people
will persist in feeding whole grain
it will always be found more advan
tageous to soak the grain at leas
"A hours before using it. Sup
pose, for example, Il teamster is &C
customed TO feed a team eight quart
of Indian corn and oats at eacl
feeding, say three times a day. lie
the grain be put in a pail and GOV
cred with warm water every tim
the team is fed. This plan wOul
require three pals when the teal
is fed three times daily. War;
water is far better than cold watel
rs cold water, in cold weather, Wi
soften the grain but little. Team
sters may rest assured that it wi
pay well for all trouble TO soak a
grain before feeding it,-Nsc Io'

HoEs,lCurcuIio aud Peach orchards.

The Messrs. Winters, of DuQuoin,
have kept hogs in their peach or
chards. They pick up all the fallen
fruit. The second year after they
adopted this idea but little com
paratively of the fruit was stung and
for the past three years theft loss
from curculio has been of no con-
sequence. The same plan has been
adopted by A Mitchell. ESQ, with the
most satisfactory results. Wherei
is practicable>to keep hogs in an
orchard every particle of fallen fruit
should, be picked up and fed to hogs,
or otherwise disposed of,so that the
grub in it cannot live. The stung
fruit should never be allowed to lie
on the ground during the night, for
the grub leaves the diseased fruit
only at night, and burrows in the
ground.If every fruit grower would
use these suggestions. and endeavOr
to eradicate this pest, its ravages

cities, whose critics arc men Of culture, who
know their business and never indulge In what
Is known as puffs," speak In the most glowing
terms Of admiration OF Mrs. Kemblc's powers.
We can assure the Washington public that an

pleasure awaits them. The sale OF tickets for
the entire course will commence at Metzcrott's
music store this morning.
