A matter of the greatest Importance to

brought up and remasticated, and
all the grain is utilized Ii you
will run the corn without husking
through large straw cutter, cutting
stalks and corn altogether, and feed
your cattle, the stalks will nearly all be
eaten, the corn will be remasticated,

sixty per cent. of the food now used.
The labor will not be so much greater
as is generally supposed. A ton can
be cut III an hour with a two-horse
cutter. The stalks and corn, as they
come from the field, are in the right
proportion of grain and coarse fodder,
so your large crops of corn may be fed
most economically without hay. Your
corn will pay at least forty cents per
bushel fed in this way

PLANTS IN ROOMS.
Window Gardening illustrated.

WINDOW Gardening illustrated.
The chief use of flowers is to beauti-
fy our homes, hence it is proper to use
them within doors as well as without;
and nothing adds more to the cheerful
appearance of our parlor OF sitting
room than few nice plants and flow
ers, especially in the dull season of
winter All who love flowers and their
culture are desirious of saving some of
their pets from the nipping frosts of
autumn, and enjoying them within
doors when all outside have persisted.
This is not SO easily done in this rigor
Gus climate as in milder regions, still
in well constructed houses, and with a
judielous selection of plants.
Mr.. Wick in his Floral Guide for
1878, gives the following hints and IL
Illustrations on this topic:
Plants in the house afford the most
pleasure in the winter season when all
is dreary without. In summer the gar
dens furnish abundance of flowers
for decoration but birthdays and
festivals and company will come IN
winter as well as in summer. There
are times, too, when the gardens can
not be be visited by any, and very often
there are members of the family who
seldom enjoy this privilege.
In regard to house plants, [ would
remark that few plants can endure the
high temperature and dry atmosphere
of most OF our living rooms The
temperature should not be allowed to
go above seventy in the daytime, and
not below forty in the night. AS much
air and light as possible should be Civ
en-, while the leaves should be sprink-
led frequently. A spare room, or par
Tor, or extra bed room, is better for
plants than a living room. A bay win
dow connected with warm room,
especially ii facing South or East,
makes an excellent place for keeping
plants in winter 1t should have glass
doors on the inside, which can be clos
ed part of the time, especially when
sweeping and busting. The main thing
in keeping house plants in health is to
secure an even temperature, moist
atmosphere and freedom from dust
Sprinkle The leaves occasionally, and
when water is needed use it freely
if the green iiy, or aphis, appears, wash
with soapsuds frequently, and occa-
sionally with a little tobacco water, or a
decoction of quassia chips, Occasion
ally, but not often, worms appear in the
pots. This cal be avoided III great
measure by careful potting. A little
weak lime water is sometimes of bene-
fit in such cases, also five drops of Ii
quid ammonia to a gallon of water,
though, perhaps, the better way is to
re-pot, removing the earth carefully,
SO as not to inlure the growth of the
plant.

Keep COOl--An AnecdOte Of the Early
Days of Detroit.

Capt. Fred Luce, more than forty
years ago, was commander of little
tub-like steamer, called the Huron,
that piled daily between Detroit and
Monroe, on the Detroit River.
Capt. Fred was always profuse in
his talk when the speed of his craft was
called in question, and many a passen-
ger was induced to take a ride with
him, Icing assured by the urbane Fred
that no boat could beat him.
Leaving Detroit one morning in
June, 1880, with quite load of pas
sengers, many of whom had been told
that they should be landed at Monroe,
long before the Daniel Webster, first
class steamer, which left Detroit about
the same time, could reach there,
Capt. Fred's tub labored down the
river.
Soon the Webster was seen bearing
down upon them, with at least double
the speed the Huron could make.
An anxious passenger approaching
Cap. Fred, in an excited manner, said:
Captain, the Webster is after us.
"Keep cool, my friend, +" replied the
jolly captain of the Huron, eve will
soon be after her"

lnnk n.cnis in Poultry Dict.

Cayenne pepper, mustard, or ginger
can, with great benefit, be added to the
food of fowls, to increase their vigor,
and to stimulate egg production.
This apparently artificial diet will be
seen to be natural If we remember that
wild birds of the gall-naceous species
get access to very many highly-spiced
berries anG buds; articles that give
the game flavor to their flesh. The
ordinary food OF the domestic
fowl is not, indeed, entire
~ without some such addition,
since there Is more or less of an arom-
attic principle in wheat, Indian corn,
and all other grains. Nevertheless, it
is not sufficient IN quantity to supply
the place of the stronger spices, taste
for which is part of the fowls inherited
constitution. \ moderate quantity of
cayenne, etc, added to the ground is
always productive of health and thrift
in poultry.-Ihe Poultry World,

plants should possess.

The following twelve paragraphs are
worthy of place among the most val
ned rules that should govern a we'll
regulated farm:
!. When fruit trees occupy the
ground, nothing else should-except
very short grass.
,. Fruitfulness and growth OF the
tree cannot be expected the same year.
3. There is no plum that the curcu-
lIo will not take, though any kind may
sometimes escape for one year in one
place.
). Pear blight still puzzles the great
est men. The best remedy known is
to plant two for every one that dies.
Is. Ii you don't know how to prune,
don't hire man from the other side of
the sea, who knows less than you do.
Z. Don't cut Oft big lower limb I'M
less YOU are renter, and don't care
what becomes of it when your time is
out.
s. A tree with the limbs coming out
near the ground is worth two trees
trimmed up five feet, and is worth
four trees trimmed up ten feet, and
SO on until they are not worth any
thing.
6. Trim down, not up.
10. Shorten IN, rot lcugthen up.
IL. 1t you had your arm cut off, you
would feel 1t at your heart--a tree viii
not feel, but rot to the heart.
II. When anybody tells you of a
gardener that understands all about
horticulture and agriculture, and that
can be hired, don't believe a word OF
1T, for there are none such to be hired.
Such a man can make more than you
can afford to give him, and if he has

DY9ughs JIcrSeS.

No opinion could be more incorrect
than the too generally received one
that horse draws by virtue of or in
proportion to his weight and size. Ii
this were the case the largest and heav-
lest animals could always draw tire
most, and his weight on the scales
would be the best test of his capabili-
ties. But facts In abundance prove it
otherwise. Draught does not depend
altogether upon weight and size. 1t is
in great measure the result of vital
power. Although weight can render
some assistance, the power of draught
is chiefly owing to muscular action and
nervous energy, which, again, are init
mately connected with and greatly de-
pendent on the temperament OF the an
imal. The iennet, mule, ass, and blood
horse have a much more energetic
temperament than the carter, and con
seguently possess more muscuIarpower
than the latter in proportion to their
weight and size. Their leverage,
however, is not nearly so well suited
for draught, and in that respect, when
compared with the ordinary cart horse.
they labor under decided disadvan-
tage.

The Baltimore American, with view
to the large number of people going
abroad next summer, gives some useful
hints for the voyage. First of all it
urges them to stay on deck, to resist
the temptation to hide their misery in
their state rooms. but to weather
through the first sickness in the open
air, and by the end of the third day
they will be able to camlv view the
pitching, rolling pillows, which at first
sight filled them with such disgust A
good supply of fresh lemons and a
comfortable, high backed camp-chair
will be wonderful aids in the warfare
with ea-sickness.

Ten Thousand Dollars for Dinner.

One of the grea Test pieces of extrav
agance on record in this country Is
described by a New York correspondent
of the Boston Transcript. 1t occurred
in the shape of private dinner at Del
monico's. A wealthy German importer,
who has retired from business, aud was
about to sail for Europe, decided,
before leaving America, to invite his
friends to a dinner. Covers were
ordered for seventy-four guests, and
carte blanche was given to Delmonico
for the dinner The large banquet hall
of that establishment was secured-the
same hall where the dinners to Dickens
and Tyndall were given-at the rate of
SIS ticket. For nearly a week the
employees of Delmonico were engaged
in preparing for this dinner. A table
twenty-four feet wide, extending the
whole length of the room, was con
structed. In the center of it an artl-
fetal pond was made, with fountain,
while around the fountain live swans
were floating OF course the pond was
Gagged over. The center of the table
was banked with flowers, from the
waters edge, at cost of over SO, 900.
Perfume fountains were constructed IN
various parts of the table, and to add
to the intoxication of the senses, Ber-
STEMS full band of thirty-five pieces
was engaged to furnish the music. The
dinner commenced at s p. M, and con
tinued couple of hours, after which
dancing took place until midnight,
when the dinner, or supper, as 1t was
then called, was resumed for an hour
or two, followed by dancing until 4
o'clock in the morning. The bill for
this dinner amounted to just $4,000

FARO'S SUCCESSOR.
The New Game Of Push as Played in
san Francisco.

From the Ssn Francisco Post.
Since the partial suppression of faro,
other games of chance have increased
to such an extent that now nearly every
saloon boasts its poker, seven-up and
push game. Almost everybody is
familiar with the former games, but
the latter is recent invention, which
had its birth on the city front, where it
is played to an alarming extent, hun
dreds of dollars nightly changing
hands at the game. The manner of
playing is peculiarly simple, aud can
be readily understood by those who
have little or no knowledge of cards.
Yet this simple game, winch is being
so rapidly popularized because OF its
simplicity, is a banking game, and
comes within the meaning of the sta
tutes that define what constitutes such
games. The mode of playing this
game is this: A number of men sit
around table with a pack of cards,
one OF whom deals. Each man places
the amount of money he desires to bet
in the centre of the table. The cards
after being dealt, are passed around,
and each player including the dealer
selects one, which is turned up and
placed on the table In front OF him.
The dealer select his card last, and
places it face upward on the table. If
his card is higher than any of the rest
they each pay him the amount they
bet. Should any or all of the players
hold higher card than the dealer, he
pays over the necessary amount. The
next man then becomes the dealer, and
so on ad infnitun, each man in turn
becoming dealer, and at the same
time banker Thus each party who
plays at the game is liable under the
law as a principal, and not as a parti
cinapt

Treatment Of Horns.

The ill-shaped horns that some
beasts might have been remedied by
window glass. In pursuing this plan
too much must not be taken off at a
time, but by using care and frequent
operations any desired shape may be
given them. In this way horns of cat
tie may be kept alike and systematical :;
thus, if one horn is curving up too
much to correspond with the other,
scrape the horn on the opposite or I'M
der side, which will bring it back.
