Feed for Producing Milk.

The Practical Farmer says sit is we'll
settled in the opinion of all our best dairy
men that bran greatly promotes the milk
secretions in cows, and it is fed almost uni

seems to promote quantity and quality of
milk. From several sources we hear that
buckWheat bran is a great milk producer,
and 1t is now being used considerably
anon our Chester County dairymen, in
ABOUT the same proportions as the other.
Thos. Gawthorp, near West Grove, Ches-
ter County, also by repeated trials with his
own cows, has fully satisfied himself that
they do as well with corn and cob meal and
bran as with pure corn-meal and bran. The
amount OF nutriment in corn cobS is so very
small that this result Will have to be ex-
planned on the suppostion of the ground
cob, acting to promote digestion by dis
tending the stomach. The presence of
bulky material being necessary to promote
distension and I'LL up the stomach of rumin-
atlng animals, before perfect digestion can
be accomplished, is frequently lost sight of.
hungarian grass is also found to be rather

Trailing Arbutus.

And coldly fall the cherries sunset CLEANS
When the sere grasses rustic, whispering
Of life that is, of death that only seems;
When the wild wind soughs in the weavins

With secret summoning of bud and leaf
And walls along the bare and withered rood
AS in an ecstasy of lonely grief;
Then smiling from decaying fern and sedge-
First signal of the new awakening earth

Surprising with its loveliness their dearth,
The dainty sweet arbutus half conceals
The delicate beauty its perfume reveals.

The latest number of Blackwood's
magazine contains a new version of ''Old
Mother Hubbard" a burlesque entitled
Sir Tray; an Arthurian ldyl," which very
aptly hits Tennyson in his vulnerable
points. Here is a specimen:
The widowed dame of Hubbard's ancient line
Turned to her cupboard, cornered anglewise
Betwixt this wall and that, in quest Of augbt
To satisfy the cravings Of Sir Tray,
Prick-eared companion of her solitude,
Red-spotted, dirty-white, and bare of rib.
Who followed at her high and pattering heels,
Prayer IN his eye, prayer in his sinking gait,
Prayer in his pendulous pusatng tail
Wide on its creaking jaws revolved the door,
The cupboard yawned, deep-throated, thnly sci
For teeth, with ancient bottles; canisters
And plates of various patterns. blue or white
Deep in the void she thrusts her hooked nose,
Peering, near-sighted, for the wshed-for bone,
While her short robe of samite tilted high,
Ihe thrifty darning of her nose revealed
1he pointed feature travelled DER the delf,
Cteasing its tip, but bone or bread found none.
wherefore Sir Tray abode still dnneress,
Licking his paws beneath the spinning wheel
And medtatlng much on savory meats.

| rush was tremendous, and when the Pro-
feseor took his stand at o'clock, it was
to be heartily cheered by the largest audi
ence ever assembled in that room, which
comprised many of the most eminent per-
sons in the literary and scientific circles of
London. He plunged at once, tiguratively
speaking, into Niagara; and the most
interesting part of his lecture was perhaps
on account Of how he plunged into it
literally.
He related how he came to fraternal
terms with the man who haunts Goat
island and plays Eolus to the Cave of the
Winds. Having persuaded this individ-
ual that he must advance beneath the
Horseshoe Fall, as far as toot of mortal
had ever trod his guide instructed him to
put on for the adventure three pairs of
woolen pantalOons, two pairs of wooen
socks, &c, causing him to admire how,
by experience, this old Man had discov-
cred certain remote laws OF moisture,
namely, that though with thick woolens,
one gets wet, it remains the same wet and
keeps out sudden changes of temperature.

How TO PREVENT HENS FROM EATING
THEIR Eggs. The Country Gentlemen sur-
eests way to prevent hens from eating
their eggs. 1t is to fill an egg with sou-
tlon OF pepper and put the egg back in the
nest. A Danbury man has tried this and
says it works like charm. He put a pref
ty good dose of pepper in the egg and
placed it in the nest Of the criminal Pret-
ty soon the hen came around and took hold.
1t was brinde animal with long legs, and
somewhat conceited 1t dipped in its bin
and inhaled the delicacy. Then it came out

1t didn't gallop out, we don't mean, but
IL came ont to look at the scenery and see
II IL was going TO rain. It's mouth was
wide open, and the feathers on the top of
It's head stood straight up. Then it com
menced to go around the yard like circus
horse. Once In while it would stop and
push out one leg in 4 tone of establishments
and then holler fire." and start on again.
Ihe other hens came out to look on. Soon
the hens from the neighbors came over the

1t was quite evident the performance was
something entirely new and unique to them
There is good deal of human nature in
hens. When they saw this hen dancing
around and have all the fun to itself, and
heard it shout ''fire," and couldn't see the
conflagrat:on themselves, they filled up with
wrath, and of one accord sprang upon it,
ana before the Danbury man could interfere,
the brndle hen with the long legs was
among the things that were. He says the
recipe is efectual. Danbury News.

The New York correspondent of the St.
Louis Globe writes:
Speaking of bankers, | am reminded,
as the great and good Abraham Lincoln
was so fond Of saying, of little story.
August Belmont, reported to be some-
what irascible at times, had, not long
ago, a private secretary to whom he
sometimes showed his unamiability. One
morning, in his Wall street office, the
eminent banker picked up a letter his
secretary had written, and not finding
it satisfactory, exclaimed with much
temper: "This is wrong again. D.
it, have often told you exactly how these
letters should be written"
''Mr. Belmont remarked the scribe,
rising from his seat, Il do not wish you
to swear at me. do my duty faithfully,
and my salary is not large enough 10
enable me to afford to do nv work and
be sworn at besides.''
"How much do you get?' quoth Bel
mont
''Fitteen hundred dollars" was the
answer.
''Draw $4,000, C d it, and do
the work as I want it'
Since then the salary has been regularly
paid, and Belmont swears at his secretary
as much as he likes. The report that the
banker wishes to withhold $3.50 for not
indulging in the luxury of profanity dur
ING u six months absense in Europe is, |
am authorized to say, wholly without
foundation.
