Cooking Feed for Horses.

\ writer in the Journal of Agricul-
ture says: Last winter l had a lot OF
fine rye, which 1 could not sell at a
remunerative price, hence L concluded
TO feed it to the horses instead of corn
which was 81 a bushel. First 1 had
the rye ground, mixed the meal with
cut oats, moistened with hot water,
and fed at the rate of about three half
bushels baskets a day to each horse.
The animals kept in tolerable condi-
ton, but did not improve as much as
I desired. Besides the miller's toll
was much heavier than l liked. l
then commenced cooking the whole
rye in a large iron caldron, setin brick.
One bushel of rye with t, ur or five
buckets about eleven gallons) of wa
ter, and seasoned with a handful OF
salt, were cooked with very little fire
in the afternoon for next days feed
ing, and fed at the rate of five quarts
of the cooked mess a meal.
1 observed this that one bushel OF
rye uncooked will give six meals, and
when cooked twelve; that the I'M
cooked grain is very imperfectly di-
gested and requires hogs to follow the
horses, and the cooked grain is COM
pletely digested; that the horses rap
idly gain flesh, not in fat, and enjoy
excellent health. I follow this prac.
tice still-am feeding now. wheat
which costs 20 cents a bushel, and find
the trouble and extra labor of cooking
the feed every other day very small.
A boy ten years generally manages
the whole operation inside of half an
hour.

The Piqua (Ohio) Jourao5 tells the
following good story:
An African NJ. E. Church, not far
from Piqua, numbers among its mem
bership a masculine who is noted for
his zeal in contributing to the Golfers
of the Lord. Though but poorly SUD-
piled with this worlds goods, he gives
literally of his scanty means at all
church collections, feeling assured
that his donations will be dOubly re-
turned to him in the way of divine
blessings and favors. Some evenings
since, a collection was taken up at the
church in question for a charitable
object. The amount received being
meager, our hero. who was present,
expOstulated with his brethren and
sisters in this wise:
AZ tell you, brudders and sistern,
disain'tgwine to do, nOhOw. De good
Lord will nebber bless de stingy giver,
suah. You needn't be afeerd to give
because de Lord will return lie amount
wild interest. Why, bTudders and
sistern, a little while ago de Lord
called on me to give somethin' to his
cause, and / freely glib de last shiny
dat 1 had, bekase l knOwed il would
come back TO me. And suah enough,
about a week after, l bought a pair oh
shoes on Main Street, and de man gil

His shadow lengthens along the lana,
4 giant staff in a giant hand;
In the poplar tree, above the spring.
The katydid begins TO sing;
The early dews are falling
Into the stone-heap darts the mink;
The swallows skim the rivers brink;
And home to the woodland fly the crows,
When over the hill the farm-bOy goes,
Cheerily Calling
"Co', boss! Co; boss COZ &C '!'co'r'
Farther, farther over the hill,
Family calling. calling STILL
Co, boss! CO, boss! CO! CO! cor
Into the yard the farmer goes,
With grateful heart at the close OF Day
Harness and chains are hung away

About the trough, by the farm-yard pump,

While the pleasant ueWs are lalilnS -
The new mich heifer is quick and shy,
But the old COW waits with tranquil eye,
And the stream into the bright pail flows,
When to her task mildmaid goes,
Soothingly calling
"So, bossi so, boss! so! soi'
The cheerful milkmaid takes her stool,
And sits and milks in thetwilight cool,
Saying, so! so, boss! so! So!
To supper at last the farmer goes,
The apples are pared, the paper read,
The stories are told, then all TO bed
Without the crickets' ceaseless song
Makes shrill the silence all night long
The heavy dews are falling.
The housewives hand has turned the lock
Drowsily ticks the kitchen clock;
But still in sleep n farm-boy goes
Singing, calling

Ill health is often generated by bad
treatment of the feet. The pores are
not repellants, but absorbents, and
this foetid matter, to a greater or less

arm-pits, from which an offensive
odor is also emitted, unless daily ablu-
ton is practi ced.
