is PEA STRAW GOOD FOOD?

A correspondent says he has not found
pea straw as valuable for fodder as coed
oat or wheat straw Very likely. And
yet good pea straw may be so cured and
fed as to be worth far more than any
other straw. It is more heterogeneous than
wheat, oat, barley or rye straw, and should
be fed, to get the full value, in connec-
ton with small quantity of corn. Sheep
that have pound of corn each per day,
will fatten more rapidly on pea straw than
wheat or oat straw. The better plan is
to let them have all they will eat both
pea and wheat straw-say pea straw morn
ing and noon, and wheat or oat straw at
night. But we apprehend the trouble
with our correspondent is not SO much in
the way of feeding as in the method of
cutting, curing and preserving pea straw.
IF the peas were allowed to grow till dead
remain il heaps in the field day after day
without turning, aud were exposed to
rains and dews until nearly all the solu
Bile matter was decolnposed or washed out
of the straw, and half the leaves were
knocked off of them before they left the
field, and they stacked in a damp con-
dition, it is not difficult to understand
why sheep and the chemist do not tell
the same story in regard to the value
of the straw On our own farm we have
found pea straw from a luxuriant crop of
peas, cured without rain, nearly as val
uahle as clover hay.

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 call
ed in question, and many a passenger
was induced to take ride with him,
being assured by the urbane Fred that
no boat could beat him.
Leaving Detroit one morning in June,
1880, with quite load of passengers,
many of whom had been told that they
should be landed at Monroe, long before
the Daniel Webster, a first-class steamer,
which left Detroit about the same time,
could reach there, Capt. Fred's tub la
bored down the river.
Soon the Webster was seen bearing
down upon them, with at least double
the speed the Huron could make.

OIL MEAL For CALVES.

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
relates his experience in feeding oil-meal
to CALVES, which he found highly benef-
cial. The calves were taken from the
cows when three days old, and taught at
first to drink sweet milk. on which they
were kept until che stomach became strong
when milk that had stood over one milk
ing was fed twice day. AT this time
he commenced feeding oil-meal, stirring
it into boiling water and afterwards mix
ing with the milk. The quantity which
he could hold in one hand was used at
first, and. as the calves became accustom
ed to it, this quantity was increased
When too much was given, scours were
produced, which was readily controlled
by reducing the quantity of the meal.
This feed was continued until pump
kins were ripe, when they were substitu-
ted for milk and meal. Afterward good
hay was given until February, when
bruised oats were added until the pas
lures were ready. when the grain was
dropped and the calves were turned to
grass. and on October they weighed 3
2lO pounds 1.-THE pair on which the ex-
pertinent was made). This showing is
good one surely. The stock to which the
calves belonged is not given.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

THE white of eggs with lime makes a
good cement for broken china.
HONEY and castor oil mixed are excel
lent for asthma A teaspoonful may be
taken night and morning, with great ben
eft.
RANCID lard may be purified by trying
it over with little water, adding few
sliced raw potatoes. The potates seem
to remove the bad taste from the lard.
THE best method to make old silks
look like new, and one that is employed
by millions, is to sponge over the outside
with strong, cold black tea. The silk
should afterward be ironed outside.
CLEANING Stoves Stove lustre, when
mixed with turpentine and applied in
the usual manner, is blacker, more glossy,
and more durable than when mixed with
any other liquid The turpentine pre-

that your hands are clsan, then put on

the smell of the turpentine.

Is EARTH MAN ONLY ABIDING

Is EARTH MAN S ONLY ABIDING PLACE?
Those who admire the writing of Mr..
Geo. d. Prentice will be glad to read the
following extract again: cit cannot be
that earth is mans only abiding place.
It cannot be that our life is bubble cast
up by the ocean of eternity to float
moment upon the waves and sink into
nothingness, Else why is it that the
high and glorious aspirations which leap
like angels from the temple of our hearts,
are forever unsatisfed? Why is it that
the rainbow and clouds come over us with
a beauty that is not of earth, and then
pass off to leave us to muse ON their
loneliness Why is it that the stars
which hold their festival around the mid
night thrones, are set above the grasp of
cur limited faculties, forever hooking us
with their unapproachable glory? And
finally, why is it that bright forms of
human beauty are presented to our view
and taken from us, leaving the thousand
streams of our affection to flow back like
Alpine torrents upon the heart We are
born to higher destiny than of earth.
There is realm where the rainbow never
fades, where the stars will spread out be-
fore us like the islands that slumber on
the ocean, and where the beautiful be-
ings which pass before us like shadows
Will stay in our presence forever"

THERE is movement ON foot in Scot
land, which, if successful, will take away
any advantages leap year may have
over years that do not leap. 1t is said
that the ladies of Glasgow will soon
present to Mr.. Gladstone petition pray
ing him to revive the good old law and
custom that prevailed in Queen Marga-
rets time, giving to every maiden the
privilege of selecting her husband In
those ha!cyon days not only was a maid
allowed to select her husband, but after
the gentleman was once favored by an
offer of marriage he was not permitted to

A mother has no right to bring up
daughter without teaching her how to
keep house; and if she has an intelligent,

To know how to keep house. we do not

A family employed girl to do gen

Yet many a boarding school miss, at

Not one woman in a thousand knows
how to make bread as good as it can be
made. And sour tempers, seedlings, dys-
pepsia, with its understandable horrors, and
even death itself, not unfrequently result
from bad cooking.

them in all the mysteries of house keep

of good husbands and happy homes.

Half a year ago he married beautiful,

Four months ago they began house

Three servants figured conspicuously in
their griefs. The coffee was execrable,
the steak abominable, the cruet- stand and
silver not fit to be SEEM, and the whole
in confusion.
The husband bore it as long as pride
and patience could endure, and then. sac

boarding, resolved never to suffer the
miseries of housekeeping again.

heard of it. If that beautiful bride had

BRAIN-WORK costs more food than
hand work. According to careful esti-
mates and analysis of the excretions,
three hours of hard study wear out the
body more than q whole day of severe
physical labor. Another evidence OF
the fact that, though the brain is only
one fortieth the weight of the body, it
receives one-fifth of all the blood sent by
the heart into the system. Brain work
ers therefore require more liberal sup
ply of food, and richer food, than manual
laborers
