Northern Pacific Railroad Co.
These bonds are secured, first, by a First Mort.
gage on the Railroad itself, its roiling-stock, and
all equipments; second, by a first mortgage on its
entire Land Grant, being more than Twenty-Tw
Thousand Acres of Land to each mile Of road.

How OFTEN TO MILK.-The Irish Farmers
Gozett. has the following, which at least
goes so show that cows should be MIXED
oitener than twice day, for some time after
calves are taken away from them, ii they are
allowed to suckls till they are weaned:
- Regularity ID the milking of cows Is of as
much importance as regularity in the feeding
of them In a state OF nature the COW is re-
| eyed of it's milk great many times each
day A calf allowed to remain with its
mother Will help itself to the tactical fluid
seven or eight times a day. Under such
circumstance the uddeT Of the COW will re-
main small and ii allowed to retain the
milk secreted during twelve hours, leVerish
symptoms are likely to be produced The
practice OF milking cows more than twice ID
the twenty four hours causes the capacity OF
the udders to be greatly increased. and, pro-
badly, helps in maintaining the tactical Sc
cretIon long after PREGNANCY has taken place.
" When, however, y an artificial system
the cow has been enabled TO retain It's milk
without inconvenience for twelve hours or So
IT ought to be MIXED regularly every day at
the same hour When time for milking ar
rives the udder usually becomes distende0

not removed, the animal suffers considerable
pain. Cases OF fever, the result OF allowing
animals TO remain too long unmllked are,

RAILWAY GARDENS IN ENGLAND.-With US,
the slOping sides of cutting would stare in
useless yellow gravel. Here, they are green
with grass or laid out gardens that seem
ready to side down hill to the track. These
gardens along the sides of railways are some
thing peculiar to England. They are to be
seen almost everywhere. The space between
the track and the fence on both sides is al
ways put to some use, unless too steep to
hold the soil. Vegetable are most common.
Grass is used in some places, and near the
stations is common. Often the name of the
station is marked out on the bank in colOre
s-ones or in Towering plants or the letters
are cut out Of the sod and the borders so
made gay wi, til flowers or green with vegeta
bIes. These gardens seem to be cultivated
by the railway officials. Whether they rent
them for their companies, or how it is man
aged is something | have not ascertained.
1t is en- )ugh to know that not an inch Of
land is lost. Even snch wastes as these are
made to yield food for man and beast.-Let

HONE MADE REFRIGERAToR.-I want to give
tho readers OF your valuable and interesting
paper the benefit of an idea about preserving
ice in cheap and convenient manner .
Nearly all persons who cannot afford nice
zinc lined refrigerator or ice chest keep their
ice in sawdnst, straw or some such nOn-con-
Quoting material, which is very inconvenient
and wastes the ice We had always done so
till last season, and | am satisfied that there
are thousands of families who think they can
dispense with a refrigerator, but not with
ice.
Last season | took two wooden boxes
the first large enough to contain the second
and leave space of a couple Of inches all
round, top and bottom, then bored hols
Gone or one-half inch Is large enough, in the
bottom of each for ventilation and drainage,
then make a lid with hinges (leather ones in
my case) for each box, placed some Stats IN
the bottom of the larger. and placed the
smaller box on them, put some pieces at the
side to keep the smaller in place, and the re-
iTi-crator was done.

HORSES IN SUMMER.-Farm work during
the hot summer months requires only the
lightest harness. Wooden collars are now
used, with great comfort to the horse. In
the cities the harness worn by street railroad
horses is as scant as is consistent with the
work they preform. No breeching is sed
and hip straps are dispensed with. Teams
may often be seen blowing in the hot days
of July and August. in the same harness
they wore during the winter. This is unnec-
essarv, nay, sometimes it amounts to posi-
tive crt city. Remove every superfilOus
strap, take away the back strap crupper
band, and let the air circulate freely around
the body. At night, when the work Is over
wash the sweat and dust from the legs and
thighs of the horse a dash OF water on his
TANKS would be grateful to linn Let his
stable be airy and clean, with a bed Of clean
straw. Kindness to these serviceable ami
mails is the truest economy. Besides, we
feel better when our horses are made com
forta bic; the sensation is akin to that de-
rived from the doing benevolent action. :
sensitive man cannot see a horse sweating
under and called by heavy harness during
the intense heat OF a summers day, without
sympathy and pity, nor can he retire TO rest

GROUND Bones FOR PoULTRY.-The editor
IF be Canadian Poultry Chronicle, in an ex-
cellent article on rearing and feeding chick
ems, after enforcing the necessity of scrHpu-
ious cleanliness, feeding well, often AMI not
more at one time than will all be picked up,
and using by preference as the staple feed
coarse cat meal mOistened with milk, and the
occasional mixture of rice or other grains -
or the sake Of variety-thus alludes TO the
efficacy of ground bones -
"Mr. Wright recommends, in addition 70
the above, the use of ground bones. or bone
dust. This latter substance, he says, has
many advantages, and after many years ex-
Ierience, we can affirm without hesitation
that there is a marked difference both in the
size and stamina of birds reared with it over
others. 1t adds to the size of birdss it
postpones their maturity or - setting as
poultry men call it after which growth near
ly ceases; it prevents leg weakness in the co k
erels and it tends to produce full and profdse
gathering, and to assist in Hedging. Burnt
bones, or phosphate of lime, have not the
same effect by any means; and raw bones
crushed have the fault Of inducing early lay
ing IN the pullets, whereas the bone dust
rather posjpOnes 1t. The proportion should
be about teaspoonful to every half pint Of
meal, and be gwen thus from the time tie

of maladies, puerperal fever. If the milking
be too long delayei, nature will try TO help
the poor animal. An absorption of milk
into the blood will to some extent, take
place. and that which remains in the udder
will become deteriorated. When neglect to
milk a cow at the regular time is repeated
several times. the secretion of the fluid is
permanently checked 4: and there are many
cases where by much neglect an animal has
become " drv in less than a month.
s. In these countries and in North Ameri-
ca, cows are MIXED only twice day, except
in some cases, when for some time after
calying the operation is repeated thrice daily
In most continental states it is. however, the
general practice to milk dairy cows three
times a day, at regular intervals Of eight
hours. Now, wonld it not be worth while
to determine the question whether an interval
Of eight or twelve hours between milking is
the best? This point could be easily decided
at some such institution as the Glasnevin
Farm or the Royal Agricultural College,
CIrencester. " c incline to the openion that
COW would yie'd more fluid if MIXED three
times than if MIXED twice daily; but the
former number would involve great trouble
to the work people. 10 Germany and Hol-
land the cows are MIXED at clock, a. III
noon, and 8 O'Clock p N. We fear our dali
rymaIds would consider these hours too long
for a day s work.

Dressing MUrToS.-Everybod says the
World, knows that the oil which lubricatce
wool is disagreeable to both taste and smell.
In Sitting and talking Of the pet, it is difficult
to prevent a contact Of wool with the flesh
along the lines where the skin is first ser we'd,
preparatory to being stripped of The ac-
complished butcher cannot prevent this cor
tact, and he therefore very thoroughly scrubs
the parts exposed with saleratus dissolved in
cold water. which wholly removes the :
gree able odor and flavor. The farmers for
a long time, were not aware of the necessity OF
such purgation, which should be applied a.
once, as soon as the pelt by the greatest ac-
tIvity can be removed. This done, the meat
is a free from faint Of wool as the meat Of
any other animal.

TIE Moss RosE.-Krummacher illus
trates simplicity by the following beauti-

The angel who takes care of the flowers,
and sprinkles upon them dew in the still
night, slumbered on spring day in the
shade Of rose bush.
When he awoke he said, Most beau
tiful of my children. thank thee for thy
refreshing odor and cooling shade Could
you now ask any favor, how willingly
would [ grant it.
"Adorn me, then with new charm"
said the spirit of the rose bush, in a be-
seeching tone.
So the angel adorned the loveliest of
flowers with simple moss. Sweetly it stood
there, in its modest attire, the moss-rose,
the most beautiful Of It's kind.
So the costlest ornaments are often the
simplest. There is no gold, nor jewel,

Of meek and quiet spirit. which is, in

icct Of much Importance to France. Many
methods had been tried continued INNER

OF air by water. saWdust, etc. and even var
nishing had been tired. but respectfully
condemned The method adopted in many
farms-namely. that Of losing the pores OF
the she'll with grease or oil had, however,
attracted the attention Of tie author. VINO
draws the following conclusions from a
series Of experiments on this method Veg
etabIc oils, more especially linseed simply
rubbed on to the esq hinder any alteration
for a sufficiently extensive period and pre-
-entsa very simple and eiIcious method OF
preservation. eclipsing any methods hitherto
