Cheese in England.

The NIX Journal, devoted to dairy in
terests, is a very independent and wide
awake paper. 1t freely acknowledges
the superiority of our dairy arrange
ments, and often quotes from American
journals, giving proper credit. In its
last issue it has the following upon the
state of the cheese market: /" We would
draw especial attention to our report OF
the cheese market this month. We do
not think there is any cause for alarm,
vet the present state of the cheese trade
is significant. Such words as the
American is absorbing all the demand
Dutch, like English, is being driven
out Of consumption, have, to say the
least, not very cheerful tone. We
cannot question the authority OF the
very eminent firm of cheese-f factors
from we obtain our monthly reports.
We have no wish to create panic
among English cheese-mongers,, but we
cannot suppress the information afford
ed us, and therefore print it verbatim ct
Hteratim. There is no very immediate
danger in the American competition Z;
but it behooves us to be on the alert,
and to produce cheese at the least pos
sible expense, and of the very best
quality. The success of America is to
ton OF her cheese factories, whereby
division of labor is effected, a large
working capital used in the manutac-
ture of cheese, and uniform good
make produced by converting milk into
cheese on large scale, and by the en-
ployment of skilled labor, under the

Feeding Cattle Oh Grass.

In Great Britain and Ireland the
wealthiest and most independent farm
ers are those who occupy large farms of
good grass land, and who fatten and sell
annually large numbers Of cattle. This
class of farmers are called graziers; they
keep very little of the land in tillage,
do not winter large numbers of cattle,
but buy two or three year old heiters
and steers in the spring, keep them on
choice pasture during the summer and
autumn, and sell before the animals
begin to loose flesh late in the fall.
The vast herds OF Texas cattle are some
times managed in a similar way, being
purchased when in low condition and
driven on the rich and succulent prai
raie grass until they have become fairly
fat. Farmers who have good grass land
should devote at least portion of it to
fattening stock good two or three years
old heifers and steers kept on rich
pasture for six months would probably
pay better than inferior tillage. The
money would all come together, and
the cost of transportation, compared
with that of the cereals, would be tritl-
ing. Every farmer should fatten all his
young stock that are not required for
the dairy or the yoke. Selling stock OF
any kind. before they are properly made
up for the market is very bad manage
ment, and great deal OF money is lost
by farmers every year in this way.

Feed the Poultry.

The editor of the Canadian Poultry
Chronicle, in an excellent article on rear
ing and feeding chickens, after enforc-
ing the necessity of scrupulous cleanli-
ness, feeding well, often, and not more
ut one time than will all be picked up,
and using by preference as the staple
feed coarse oatmeal moistened with
milk, and the occasional mixture OF
lice or other grains, for the sake OF
variety, alludes to the efficacy OF ground
bone:
"Mr. Wright recommends, in addi-
ton to the above, the use OF ground
bones. or bone-dust. The latter sub
~tance, he says, has many advantages,
and after many years experience we
can affirm without hesitation that there
is marked difference both in the size
and stamina of birds reared with 1t over
others. 1t adds to the size of birds; 1t
postpones their maturity or setting, as
poultrymen call it, after which growth
| nearly ceases; it greatly prevents leg
| weakness in cockerels, and 1T tends to
| produce full feathering, and to assist In
| Hedging. Burnt bones or phosphate OF
| lime has not the same effect by any
means and raw bones crushed have the
| fault of inducing early laying in the
| pullets. whereas the bone-dust rather
postpones it. The proportion should
| he about tea spoonful to every half
pint of meal, and be given thus from
| the time the chickens are ten days
| old"
Not only grown fowls. but chickens OF
all ages should have supply OF gravel.
When young chickens are shut up for a
few days without it, the avidity with
which they help themselves when given
opportunity, shows the urgency OF their
need for it, Gravel Of the hardest stone
and rounded not tlatish in shape, is the
Kind suitable.
The kind and quality of food given to
| fowls must necessarily exercise an inf1u
ence upon the quality of their eggs and
flesh, although usually little attention is
paid to the matter A gentleman who
| kept large poultry-yard found, occa.
sionaIly, that the eggs of his hens had
| an unpleasant and rancid taste, and on
| inquiry ascertained that this vas the
case when the food consisted of hemp or
| flax seed.
The color of yolks of eggs may OF may
not be slightly affected by the kind oil
| food eaten But it is certain that the
ok OF laid egg is always OF a
| light lemon color, and that age causes 1t
TO grow darker. A yolk of deep orange
color simply denotes an old egg. The
lighter the color of the yolk the tresher
| the egg.

An Ugly Horse Cured by Kindness.

Mrs. s. q. johnson tells in Or Dumb
animals the story of horse whose task
it used to be to drag meat cart, and
which, because of viciousness, was
finally sold to his present owner, at a
very low price. He would bite, tear,
kick, run away--was utterly uncontrol-
able. Soon after changing masters the
people, who had called the purchase a
foolish one, were surprised at the differ
ence in the horses conduct. He would
20 fast or slow as desired stop instantly
at whoa follow his call, and rub his
head on his shoulder. What had made
the change? Not force; the poor horse
had been beaten, kicked, and starved
before and grown more and more stub
born. No; but he was we'll fed, well
watered not overdriven or overloaded :;
never whipped, kicked. or scolded.
Kind words were given him, and now
and then an apple or lump of sugar.
No gentler, safer, more faithful horse
went on the road. But, Indian fashion,
he forgot neither benefit nor injury.
Occasionally, when in harness, he saw
his former master. Then invariably, all
the fire OF his nature was aroused. His
eye rolled, he champed his bit, and
showed an intense desire to get hold of
his former enemy. Only the voice and
caressing hand of his kind owner could
quiet him. s#3 vH| ~..

The Cultivation of Sumac.

writer in the Springfield Leader
calls attention to the importance of
utilizing the leaves of the sumac that
grows in such great abundance all over
Southwest Missouri, and says:
But very few persons are aware that
the sumac is of any value whatever, and
will, no doubt, be surprised to learn
that the tanners of this country pay an
nually as much as million and half
in money for sumac leaves. OF this
amount about two-thilds is paid for for
eign sumac, and the greater portion of
the remainder is furnished by Virginia
and Maryland. The tanners OF st.
Louis import large quantities every
year from New York and Baltimore, all
of which should be furnished by South
west Missouri.
The Missouri sumac is only worth at
present 50 per hundred in the leaf,
while that of Virginia and Maryland is
worth from So to $50 merely because
it is ground. | have made arrange
ments in st. Louis to have its value de-
monstrated by fair analysis, the result
of which will determine'sitsa true value

Points Of Prince NapOleon's New
Pamphlet.


Prince Napoleon's pamphlet, La Yer
tte a mes CalomniateurS, is very curious
apology. it is, moreover, a useful con-
tribution to the secret history of the
war between France and Prussia. 1t
shows Denmark to have been the first
and Italy the last ope of the Emperor
Napoleon. We gather from it that so
confident at the outset were the Emper-
or and his Minister'S of securing the act
veaid of little Denmark, that the Prince
Napoleon was actually named Comman-
der-in-Chief of the "French and Danish
land and sea forces" and that on the
I'D OF July he submitted to the Empe
ror plan of organization wherein Vice
Admiral la Ronciere de Noury is styled
Chief d'etat.major pour les forces de
mer Franchises ct Danoises." and Gen.
Schmith "Chef d'etat-major pour les
forces de terre Franchises ct Danoises.'
On the morning of the 9th OF August
we are told that the Emperor visited
his cousin in his tent at Chalons, and
frankly said: "Things are going badly.
\ GU are of no use here; single chance,
not hopeful, but still possible, remains
for us. 1t is that Italy should pronounce

and endeavor to draw Austria in with
her. No one is better qualified than

sess in getting to the front in three
campaigns, are very remarkable.

Materials for Manure.

The manure pile may be augmented
from many sources outside the stables
or barn-yard. Much waste matter is
lying around in every village or hamlet
in the country that might be gathered
up at very little expense We do not
know II country town of u hundred OF
two inhabitants in which some poor fel
low would not be glad OF a job to gather
up ashes, leather scraps, tanners ot1al
tam bark, sawdust, chip-dirt, straw and
refuse generally; all Of which would
make valuable additions to the compost
heap. Old boots and shoes should be
reduced to charcoal by covering them
with a pile of chips and burning them
slowly, keeping the ashes heaped oven
them. They are then easily reduced to
powder. Old wooden rags and waste
from shoddy factory are very valuable
as manure. Bones, above all things,
should not be overlooked nor oyster
shells, which, when burnt, make val
liable lime. Thousands of tons of such
matter go to waste every year, not be.
cause it is not worth the cost of gather
ing, but because farmers do not appre-
ciate how valuable this waste matter is.

Tethering Cows.

The following may be worth knowing
by people who occupy but little land,
and wish to confine their COWS on a
patch of grass too small to bother to
fence. have kept two COWS on small
pieces of grass with no difficulty, for
more than a year, without the least
harm to either of them. had "a strap
made, u inches wide. long enough to
buckle around the hind leg above the
ankle, with "a ring sewed in it. A rope
was fastened to stake in the fence, or
one driven for the purpose, with large
snap at the other end, to snap into the
ring of the strap on the cows hind ley.
1t is easily and quickly done. A large
sized BEDFORD will answer, but ] prefer
a large sized rope, us it will not wear
out so soon, and rope well creased
will last two seasons sure. The length
of the rope must be determined by the
size of the Prass spot, and II there Is
more than one COW to be tied, they
must be so far apart that they can not
20 around ono another and tie them
selves together; but they would not
hurt each other. Izcame near losing u
valuable COW by tying her by the head ;
she got twisted in the rope, and one of
my neighbors found her nearly dead.
| then studied out this plan, and it
works so we'll that want others to re
ceive the same benefit. 1t is much
nicer for calves, as it allows them the
full use of their heads.

The Last Shipwreck.

FROM inc tHlnd NAL, July u.
A sad account reaches US of the foun.
dering of the Siamese ship Prince of
Wales, with nearly all hands. 1t ap.
pears that the vessel, which belongs to
Siamese firm in Bangkok, left this
port for Siam land is the old Viscount
Canning converted into sailing vessel)
on the morning of the Goth of June
with ballast and sundries. She is an
iron vessel of 1872 tons, and carried the
following company Captain Young
two mates, and thirty five of crew
thirteen Chinese, two women, and one
child-in all, titty-four. All went well
until evening. when the weather as
sumed a threatening appearance. While
still in sight of land, about p. m. of
the Goth. the wind began to blow in
hard gusts, and all sail was taken in,
except the main topgallant sail, which
was reefed.
At ? a. m. on the 2Sth the remaining
sail was blown to ribbons, and the main
topmast was snapped like wand; wind
blowing territically, and sea raging
fearfully. Was obliged to let her drive
when she got into tho trough of the
sea. p f' r. .f a.- Z. n ~ f'yla
Ala a. M. the ship. began to settle
down by the stern. The captain could
not find out the reason for this at first,
as no great leakage was discernable be-
low; but it was afterward found that
the bull's-eyes had been dashed in by
u the heavy sea, and that the water had
been shipped through them in masses
that were irresistible. Pumping was
not attempted, as the ship was settling
fast, and the officers and crew appear
to have done nothing but stand on the
poop and watch their doom. There
were three boats on board, but they are
said to have been unserviceable or use
less in so fearful a season. At daylight
no land was visible, and things were
near the worst. ur
She sank at a. H., head first
Groups of heads We're seen struggling
in the water for some time after the
ship went down, but as far as we know
at present, only three of the crew
escaped to tell the tale here briefly mar
rated.
The survivors saved themselves by
holding on to spars which were floating
about, and the poor fellows must have
had very weary time OF it. From 6 a.
m. o. the 28th till p. m. of the Goth,
thirty three long hours, did these ship
wrecked seamen cling to the spar. until
they were picked up by the master OF a
Macao fishlng Junk. They arrived in
the junk last night, and, as the suryiy.
ors have been well treated, the Junk.
men have been rewarded by MI Nj
caise, the Siamese Consul, for their good
conduct.

find that they came up considerably in
their milk. The chaff was discontinued
for day or two, when the cows fell off
to their former quantity; but on feed
ing the chaff again, the flow again in
creased. Since then the value of oat
chaff as milk producer has been salts
factorily proved byus This would then
make it advisable when oats are
threshed the chaff should be saved for
feed. 1t may be fed in the place OF cut
hay, with the usual wetting, sailing.
and mixing of the regular allowance of
meal. In years when hay is as scarce as
in the present, not only the chatf may
be fed but the oat straw should be
carefully saved for fodder. 1t is quite
as nutritious as timothy that has gone
to seed
