mer.

WHEN cows are In profit, little extra
feed, in the shape ofon meal, will be amply
repaid in the yield of milk and butter. 1t
must not be supposed that because a COW
is on pasture there is no longer need for
stimulating food. The fact is, that with
an ample supply of grass, the app tite of
the COW for the meal is quite as vigorous
as during the winter, when she was fed on
hay. Cows may be very profitably fed
with quart each of oil meal morning and
night. They will lick it up from trough,
if it is made sufficiently large, without
waste. When COWS are not tied up at
night, good plan of feeding them is to
have a square box for each cow, large
enough for her toput her nose in easily,
and six inches deep. Put the allowance
of meal in these boxes. They may be
scattered about the yard, at such distance
as will give each animal an opportunity to
eat without being driven away by others.
Calves will soon show, in their improved
appearance and fastened growth, that oil
meal is good for them also. A small
handful given them in their pasture daily
will push them forward rapidly. It is well
to use a small tin pan to feed them with,
and few minutes spent with the young
stock daily is not only an agreeable occu-
patton, but highly profitable for the more
regularly the owners attention is given to
his cattle, the sooner he will perceive any
thing wrong, and be able at once to remedy
it, and daily visit is seldom made unless
there is some express purpose in it. Let
the purpose then be to give them little
extra f ed, and double benefit will result

Lfgseed Tea for Sick Horses.

LISsEED tea is not only valuable as a
restorative for sick horses, but is exceed
ingly useful in cases of Inflammation of

respiration and digestion; it shields and
lubricates the same; tranquilizes the irri-
table parts, ard favors healthy action. We
have prescribed linseed tea in large guam
titles, for horses laboring under the pre-
vailipg influenza; they seemed to derive
much benefit from it, and generally drank
it with avidity. Aside from the benefits
we derive from the action of mucilage and
oil which the seed contains. its nutritive
clements are of some account, especially
when given to animals laboring under
soreness in the organs of deglutition,
which incapacitates from swallowing
more solid food. In the event
of an animal becoming prostrated by ina

linseed tea may be resorted to, and in case
of irritable cough, the addition of little
honey makes it still more useful. In the
latter form it may be given to animals

the kidneys. TO prepare linseed tea, put

was mere automaton. 1t was observed
that, in winding up the clockwork, the
key never went beyond certain number
of revolutions, whether the game was loI g
or short. Sixty three moves had been
made without winding up, and once, in a
moment of forgetfulness, the figure played
without any winding up, after the last
game. The original story as to the his
tory ofthis machine was, that it had been
constructed to permit a Siberian exile to
escape from Russia, by being concealed
within, and that being dwarf, this was
easily done. But it was made in Vienna,
and when the mystery was disclosed, it
appeared that there really was room, not
wiihstanding the apparent show of wheels
and machinery, for man to sit in, with a
chess board before him, on which, by me-
chanical arrangement, each move made by
the figure was Instantly repeated, each re-
turn move made below being equally re-
peated on the squares above. OF course,
the concealed player was always an ex-
pert.
Sir David Brewster, inventor of the
stereoscope, wrote an article upon the au-
tomaton chess player, in which he proved
by measurement and diagrams, that a man
mast be concealed within the box to make
the play of the Turkish figure. After he
had made this disclosure, it was confessed
that his philosophical and practical con,
lecture had been true.-Ifoy DAILY Times

To Make Currant Wine.

The currants should be fully ripe when
picked; put them in large tub, in which
they should remain a day or two, then
crush with the hands, unless you have a
small patent wine press, in which they
should not be pressed too much, or the
stems will be bruised and impart a dis
agreeable taste to the juice. If the hands
are used, put the crushed fruit, after the
juice has been poured off, in cloth or
sack and press out the remaining juice.
Put the juice back in the tub after cleans
ing it, where it should remain about three
days, until the first stage of fermenta-
ton is over, and removing once or twice
day the scum copiously Arising to the
top. Then put the juice in a vessel-a
demijohn, keg or barrel-any size to suit
the quantity made, and to each quart of
juice add three pounds of the best yellow
sugar, and soft water sufficient to make a
gallon. Thus, ten quarts of juice and
thirty pounds of sugar will give you ten
gallons of wine, and so on in that pro-
portion. Those who do not like sweet
wine can reduce the quantity of sugar to
81 pounds per gallon. The vessel must
be full and the bung or stopper left off
until fermentation ceases, which will be in
twelve or fifteen days. Meanwhile, the
cask must be filled up daily with currant
juice left over, as fermentation throws out
the impure matter. When fermentation
ceases, rack the wine off carefully, either
from the spigot or by syphon, and keep
running all the time. Cleanse the cask
thoroughly with boiling water, then re-
turn the wine, bung up tightly, and let
stand four or five months, when it will be
fit to drink, and can be bottled if desired.
All the vessels, casks, etc., should be per-
fectly sweet, and the whole operation
should be done with an eye to cleanliness.
In such event, every drop of brandy OF
other spirituous liquors added will de-
tract from the flavor of the wine, and will
not in the least degree increase its keeping
qualities. Currant wine made in this way
will keep for an age. We have some made
in 1856, which is really an excellent article

FORESTS Testimony.

GEN. N. B. FORREST, mirror of chiv
airy and glass of Democratic perfections,
has involved himself IN maze Of contra
dictions in his testimony before the Ku-
Klux Investigating Committee. 1t is said
that "liars have short memories" and
whatever the General may be, ne is GER
tain1y "short" when It comes to recol-
lecting his own u5terances. In August,
1869, he had conversation with the re-
porter of the Cincinnati Commercial, in
which he CLAIMED that the order of the X.
K. K, numbered five hundred and fifty
thousand men, Of whom forty thousand
were in Tennessee. Confronted with his
own statement, he is now driven to prevar-
ication, and finally claims that the Order
was disbanded in the spring or fall of that
year-he does not recollect which. Of
course he denied his own connection with
the organization but is member of ''The
knights of the White Camelia."
It's perfectly apparent that Gen. For
rest has been effectually cornered. Whether
he has Intentionally falsjfed is a question
upon which every reader can draw his
own conclusions-but that he has evaded,
denied, and covered up truths well known
to him, cannot be doubted. Every cir
cumstance proves that if there was Ku.
Klux order, he was not only member
but leader of it; and that there was, and
now is, such body, does not admit of 9
doubt. Instead of going off with color;
flying, this doughty knight retires from
the committee room plucked clean to the
pin-feathers. He is foul bird at best

select it, many farmer has permitted i'm

Damon and Pythias.
BY THE "FAT CONTRIBUTOR"

THE Knights of Pythias, says the
Omaha correspondent of the Cincinnati
gsnaes, are making quite sensation in
Omaha at present. can find out very lit
tie about that mysterious order. The title
OF the order was doubtless suggested by
the history of those ancient Greek buffers
who carried on general friendship bust
ness under the firm name of damon &
Pythias. These worthies lived in SYRIA
cuse IN. and were consequently known
as "SalG Plnters." Their back doors
fronted each other, and they were the
Warmest kind of friends, even in mid-win-
ter. Their friendship dated back to the
days of sunny childhood. IF one of them
had anything he always wanted the other
to have some of it. If, for instance, Da-
mon got licking from the school master,
he wasn't satisfied until Pythias got one
too. Pythias got the measles once, and he
went right off and gave them to Damon.
They shared everything together. Damon
found his fathers whisky bottle one day,
but he didn't keep it to himself Not he.
He went and got Pythias drunk. If
Pythias run all night, Damon kept it up
all the next day, so that the days of Da-
mon were equal to the Knights of Py-
thias.
Damon was member of the City Coun-
Gil of Syracuse, while Pythias belonged to
the National Guards. It appears that one
Dionysius had been scheming to have the
Council declare him Mayor of Syracuse
without vote of the people, and succeed
ed one morning when Damon was absent

hastened to the council chamber, denounc-
: ing Dionysius and his fellow-councilmen

Pythias had sweetheart named Cal

just as the marriage ceremony was being

of what had occurred, and leaving Cal
