TRIAL TRrP.-The new steamer, Ex-
press No. ., built for the Wheeling and
Parkersburg Transportation Company,
made short trial trip Saturday after
noon. A large number of persons as.
sembled on board, and after the usual de-
Law in stopping leaks, screwing down nuts,
&c, the craft was rounded out into the
stream. Some difficulty was experienced
in getting up steam, or rather in keeping
II up, from the fact that the wastage was
SO great about the valves and other points
of the engines, The party proceeded
down the river US far as the coal works
Just below Bellaire. Considering the draw
backs above referred to, and the ad-
ditional one Of the usual stiffness Of new
machinery, the time made was pretty
fair. Gentlemen on board who arc iamil-
lar with such matters, remarked to us
that when everything about the engines
gets in good working condition, the Ex'
press will prove herself TO be u last boat
making the trip between this city aud
Parkersburg, lin which trade she enters
today by daylight, with ease. Her en-
gines, we believe, are the largest ever made
hero for steamboat, and il steam DO fur
nished, they will push her along quite
lively. ....
The return trip WIS made without any
thing special to note. Brady Morgan was
at the wheel, and Capt. Anshutz on the
roof rs well us here, there and every
where, looking after matters generally in
connection with the first trip of his eIe-
CANT and commOdious packet. . '.
We deem It unnecessary TO reproduce
the dimensions OF the Express, as they
were given In our columns months ago
We will say, however, in reference to her
cabin That il is ono Of the nCatest
we have ever seen. The office is
a chaste, modest affair. Tho entire outfit
OF tho cabin, and in every department OF
the boat, is in good taste Persons travel
ing on the Express will find every requi-
site for their comfort on board We feel
confident that she will be duly appreciated
by the public, and We commend her TO its
patronage. Our thanks are due the own

Steaming Fodder for Cattle.

THE question "does it pay ?"-asked
with reference to steaming fodder for
cows, is one which is pressed upon agri-
cultural editors with more and more force
every year. When notable increase in
the price of hay occurs, it is all the more
important to farmers to economic in
every possible way. A few facts will
guide our readers to decision relative to
their particular cases: 1st. Cooked food
goes farther than that which is not cook
ed. 1t will be within bounds TO say that
it will go quarter farther If 100 pounds
of dry hay will produce six gallons OF
milk, it will produce seven and half if
cooked. I'd. The extra labor required to
cook the food properly, often costs more
than the gain in the quality OF the food is
worth 3D.. The manure is worth less, in
proportion to The amount of food consul ~
ed, because the food is more thoroughly
dieested and less is wasted. 4th Cook
ing always pays, provided it is well done,
on sufficiently large scale, and with
economical apparatus. 9th. The best ap-
pliCation of heat is usually by means of
steam generated close at hand 9th
Steam may be generated economically at
distance, and the cooking be done at the
barn, provided the steam is either used
Tor some other purpose near where the
boiler stands, or very large quantity
is employed for steaming iced. :. Dan
ger from fire is serious considerations
Actual fires, or narrow escapes, have oc-
CURED on most farms where cooking by
steam has been introduced. Care i'm put
ting up the apparatus, and vigilance in its
use are the only security against fire.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Country Gen.
Aeman planted few acres of turnips
which were large enough to begin to feed
the first week in J'ly, when they were
fed to pigs, and no other feed given until
the last week in September. No lot of
pigs could have done better, growing and
keeping in good condition all the while.
AT recent discussion in Iowa, Mr.. Ar
thur Bryant, Of Princeton, Ill, an expert
enced fruit-grower, said that he consider
ed September and October the most suit
able months for pruning Spring was the
worst season for pruning, for then the loss
of the sap lessons the sugar of the tree.
Trees which bear heavily one year are
especially subject to blight the next. He
had no fsith in DR.. HulPs theory of root
pruning as a specific for blight.
THE Gardners' Monthly says that some
persons think that as the hemlock is a
large forest tree, it cannot be kept down
az a hedge plant: but summer pruning
will keep the strongest tree in dwarf
condition for number of years The
pruning has to be done just after the
young growth pushes out, which gener-
ally is about the end Of May. 1t is very
important the hedge should be cut with
sloping sides, so that every part of the
surface should have the full benefit of the
light. A hedge with upright sides or
square top, will not keep thick at the
bottom long.
AN Ohio hog raiser advocates the sys-
tenn OF pasturing on clover during the
summer. He presents, as the advantage
of this plan, the statement that an acre of
ground In clover will pasture five hogs
four months, and that it will take the
corn from half on acre to feed them the
same time. The cultivation OF the corn
he counts equal to the rest OF the other
half acre. lie further claims that hogs
pastured on clover are in far better con-
dition than If fed on corn, as they are bet
ter framed, healthier, and eat better; and
also states that the land is enriched by
the clover pasturing.
NAMES, addresses, ETC., may be printed
on fruits, by cutting from tough, thin pa
per the words proposed. This is pasted
upon the side OF the specimen most fully
exposed to the sun. That portion of the
fruit covered by the paper will assume a
different color from the rest of the fruit.
When the fruit is ripe the paper is rem0v.
ed, leaving the name distinctly visible.
Upon squashes and melons names may be
inscribed by tracing the letters with
sharp pointed instrument wounding or
puncturing the skin; over each incisiOn
little projection of the skin or pimple will
grow forming the required letters on
figures,

A Broad. W heeled WheelbarrOW.

WE are often forced to take half-loads
or less upon wheelba-rows because the
narrowness of the single wheel will not
admit OF heavier ones being wheeled over
soft ground. 1t is not only upon ploWed
ground or that in which crops are grow
ing that the wheelbarrOw is nearly use
less, and the cumbrous wagon, stone drag
or tool boat, OF necessity, are substituted,
but sward presents an almost equally soft
footing in wet weather. A nelghbor was
III perplexity; purslane was rampant in
the mangel patch; it was worth good
deal for the hogs; TO take wagon in
would sacrifice too many OF the roots;
the wheel of the wheelbarrow sunk near
ly to the hub in ne dry, light soil, with
half load, and it was great waste of
time to bring the weeds out by armfuls or
forkfuls. We suggested the use of
very broad wheel, and for fear that
such a one could not be found or easily
made, the idea Of using small lager
beer keg occurred TO us. The sug0es-
ton was followed with entire success.
An old keg was bought at halfprice,
the hoops were frightened and fastened in
place by punching few teeth, SO to speak,
Iii their outer edges. A hole three quar-.
ters of an inch square was cut in each
head, square iron rod inserted, having
its ends filed round and cut the right
length. This rod was wedged in place,
and barrow was soon imprOvised which
would carry heavy load over soft
ground. The axle must be secured
against working cit Ter to one side or to
the other, as the wnecl has no hub, which
generally performs this Office. Should
any one object to this spelling of good
keg, which would be worth perhaps a
dollar and quarter, he may get his black
smith to weld crossh head upon each
axle end. These should have two screw
holes In each arm of the cross, and it
would probably be well, besides, to put
upon each head over the iron cross head
piece OF inch board sawed round to tit
snugly, and screwed on. When bunging
up the keg it would be well to put in a
little water, to keep the interior moist, 20
