Aids to Digestion.

The more easily food can be di-
gested the more rapidly it will be as
simulated to be employed in forming
fat and muscle, and in supplying
the necessary fuel for keeping up
animal heat. In the ruminants,
food, 10 of coarse, chewed over a sec
ond time, and as q rule is more eff
fectuany masticated than is the case
with horses and pigs, Still, however
perfectly mastication may be per-
formed, a good deal of food, espe-
cially grain, escapes the grinding ac-
ton of the teeth, and passes through
the stomach and alimentary canal
undigested. Proof of this may be
observed in grain of oats, which ac-
tually terminate. after passing
through the digestive canal of a
horse. An immense saving is af-
fected by bruising, pulping, and
crushing all kinds of food given to
feeding stock and draught horses,
and the ly8wonder is, when so
many clever machines are to be pur-
chased, that the practice is not uni
versally adopted. We are no belev-
ers in giving food to animals con-
densed into small space; bulk is in
all cases essential to healthy action
of the digestive organs, but concen-
tratSd matters containing highly
nutritive properties may be render
ed most valuable and efficient, by
adopting the easy process of cutting
hay and straw into chat, and mix
ing it in with the condensed ma
terial. Straw especially may be utili-
zed in this way, that under
other conditions, an animal would
not eat. The food is quicker and
easier passed on to be digested, the
longer time a beast has to sleep
and rest, and hence the waste of ma
terial consequent upon moving about
is econom izing.-Land and Water.

How Birds Save Apples.

Did you ever eat a wormy apple,
at the core OF which you sound a
little light-colored larva or grub?
That larva is Matched from q minute
egg which was laid by moth-mil-
Ter in the Galaxy or blossom-end Of
the young apple. These millers
appear in large numbers in fruit
orchards about the time appIe-trees
put on their roseate bloom. In
some instances they glue the egg to
the side of the apple, or in the cavi-
ty of the stem-end. Immediately
after the larva is Matched, it com
mences boring towards the core of
the fruit. In most instances the APP
pie will be so much injured by the
larvae, that it will fall to the ground
Sometimes the depredator bores his
way otu of the fruit, and lets him
self down by means OF u silken cord
which he spins while descending.
If birds of any sort are near, they
will devour these delicate tit-bits
with avidity. But if not destroyed,
such larvae crawl around, until they
fDd a place protected from the
storms, where they weave cocoOns
around themselves, and enter the
g0ltpa state. There are two varieties
of this moth-worm, one of which re-
mains in the pupa state from mid
summer until the next spring, when
it energies from the cocoon with
wings, to deposit its eggs in the ba-
sin of the apple, while the other
passes through the various transfor-
nations twice during the year, so as
to be ready to destroy the late fruit
as well as early. IF swine or sheep
devour the fallen fruit before the
larva leaves it, the winged moth-mil-
Ter must appear in the next season,
if at all, from some other source.
If birds consume them, of course, no
millers can ever spread their wings
from crusted larvae. There are also
several varieties of birds that are in
cessantly searching for minute gruba
and borers in the bark of fruit-trees.
Eggs from which the borers spring
are deposited just in the edge of the
parenchynaa, the second layer of the
bark; and as soon as the minute
borer is large enough to com mence
operations, birds perceive them, and
take them out with their sharp bills

Feeding Corn TO Hogs.
A writer in the Rural New York

A writer in the Rural New York
er thus discusses this subject:
1t is bad economy to ever sell any
of it off the farm without convert
ing it into stock, and thereby saving
al the manure possible; but the
writer is fully aware that in many To-
calities this is hardly practicable, on
account of the large quantities raised
and the want of proper feeding facili-
ties, to wit: dry feeding lots, shelter,
shade, and a good supply of water.
Probably the largest return per
bushel is realized from feeding hogs,
and I am very favorable to "hogging
! down" as we term it cut West; that
is, TO turn the hogs into the field of
growing or maturing corn about Sep
! tember /, the size of the field to be
in proportion to the number ofhOss,
say 100 hogs to every 10 acres of
corn that Will yield SO bushels per
acre. When this is consumed, fence
off another like amount, until each
hog has consumed about 16 bushels
of corn, which we assume, from long
experience and observation, Will
make $50 pounds of pork, gross
weight on an average lot of hogs.
When fed in this way, taking pre-
sent prices 1925 gross weight, it will
give areturn of SO 14-16 cts per bush
el. This is being done this year,
when corn hauled off to market is
only bringing from 80 to 40 cents
per bushel, which can only be done
in many instances, at an expense OF
u to Is cents per bushel.
We will now proceed to make safe
figures: say you realize only 80 cents
per bushel for your corn that you
turn your hogs on to eat down, fo1
you probably have hog or two to
die. One acre of corn, so bushels
"hogged off" at 35 cents, $3.50
expense, nothing; hauled off to mar
ket, so bushels average per acre, 81
cents, $17.50; stalks worth for pas
ture per acre, 81, $3.50; expense Of
gathering and hauling to market, Il
cents per bushel, so bushels, Sc; net
t$I2.50. Summary, so bushel hog

The MIX Mirror in Cows.


The milk mirror in COWS de-
scribes that portion Of the animals
hide on and in the vicinity OF the I'd
der, on which the hair grows in the
opposite direction from that of the
adjoining parts. The line of de-
marcation between the two is gener-
ally quite distinct, and constitutes
what is often called a "squil, " the
up-growiDg hair, meeting sometimes
quite abruptly. More often the
change of direction is more gradual,
but it is always clear enough to be
seen at glance, especially in sum-
mer, when the coat is clean and the
hair is short. The significance of
the mirror was discovered by q
French cow-herd, named Guenon,
who classified the different forms of
mirrors, and established system by
which he claimed that he could tell,
from an examination Ct the mirror
alone, how much milk any individual
COW would give (supposing her to
be of average size and in good
healthy, what would be the quality
of the milk, and how rapidly she
would dry off after becoming i'm
pregnated again. This discovery
was subjected to very critical ex-
m ination in 1887, by committee
of the Agricultural Society of Bor-
deaux. About sixty animals were
submitted to Guenon's inspection
and his statement concerning them
was recorded and afterwards com
pared with the statements Of the
owners of the cattle. They were
found to agree In every instance
Other trials in different parts o
France, were equally successful, an6
| high honors have been awarded tt
Mons. Guenon for his discovery
In other countries the success of the
system is shown by the fact that 9th
ers have attained an equal efficienc,
with its discOverer in applying it
principles to practice; and although
the minute classification that has. beer
given by the discoverer may perhaps
be questioned, there is no longer tn
least doubt of the fundamental
soundness of the idea. In America
as well as in all countries Of EuTOpe
it is fast becoming recognized stan
dard by which to determine tn
milking qualiti. of COWS, and t.
foretell the promise of calves an'
the probable breeding-value of balls

winning Golden Opinions.

Perhaps no man living has won more
golden opinions than DIR. Walker, as
the enormous and widely increasing sale
of his California Vinegar Bitters attests.
We never look into one of our exchan-
ges, but there is a panegyric of the Bit
tiers staring us in the face. Our readers
will say that there must be a reason for
all this praise. They are right. The
efficacy of this celebrated medicine is
established by evidence which it is i'm
possible to doubt. Among the thou
sands who have borne testimony to its
excellence, there is not one dissentient
voice. In very many phases of inOr-
ganic disease it seems to- be unfailing.
All diseases arising from vitiated state
of the blood are surely eradicated by it.
It is an effectual remedy for pulmonary
complaints, bilious, remittent and inter
mittent fevers, rheumatism and dyspep-
STA. It pUrges the body of all unhealthy
humors, gives tone to the system, and
where the vital powers are enfeebled,
restores their functions to vigorous and
healty action. Ali this it does the more
effectually because its operation is not
interfered with by the presence of alco-
hOl. The Vinegar Bitters is perfectly
free from any such hurtful ingredient
We have always believed that plants
contain the true remedies for disease,
and all the remedies necessary. DR.
Walker is on the line of real progress
and we hope that ne will not rest OF
his present discoveries.

BOnaparte and his Boy.

A London letter writer says: The
ex-Emperor often runs up from CHS
elhurst, just now, to spend a few
hours in town. He comes and goes
almost unnoticed, generally lunch
ing at the Army and Naval Club, of
which he is a member. One day
this week he paid long visit to the
British Museum, and showed that he
had a royal memory, by asking
kindly by name after many men
whom he had not seen for quarter
of a century. The Prince Imperial's
time every day is actively employed;
up at six o'clock in the morning, he
is dressed and down stairs at seven,
and sets himself to study with his
young friend Conneau and III. Fillou,
his tutor, up to ten o'clock. After
his breakfast, which is nearly an
hour earlier than that of the family,
the Prince accompanied by his teach
er, leaves the house at once to 90 up
to the University College in London,
where he regularly follows a course
of instruction every day till three
o'clock. Returning at four he
mounts on horseback, or joins his
mother in q walk After dinner he
bids his parents goodnight about
ten O'clock-always kissing their
hands-and retires to his room.
From time to time the Prince visits
the monuments, the museums, and
the military and the industrial cs-
Establishments Of London and its
vicinity. An excellent example to
persons OF less pretentious position

Clover.

The Quantity of clover seed prop
er for an acre of land is about ten
pounds-some says less. But as a
general thing our farmers SOW too
little grass to the acre. European
farmers recommend sowing it in the
spring, after the grass is up, and
narrowing it in. One writer re-
commends ploughing it in, which
enables it to bear the drought bet
ter, and makes it less liable to win
ter-kill. 1t is a well known fact
that some of our fields sown to clover
are winter-killed the first year after
sowing, and at present it is a most
uncertain crop. Glover being an
early grass, many farmers are apt to
let it stand too long before cutting;
hence much of its excellency is lost.
Last season there was very little
white clover, it being winter-killed;
and it Will take several seasons to
ret it back into the fields and pas
lures. If the new Alsike clover
does as well is promised, it would be
advisable for farmers to throw
aside the red clover and SOW some
thing that viii stand the rigor of
our northern climate .and grow on
damp soils. Especially would we
recommend it to farmers who en-
o,ape in bee culture, as it is said to
he equal to white clover. The fact
