The Most Nutritious Food.

Upon this subject a writer in
the Philadelphia Star says:
| submit the following article
on food, hoping it may do little
good to the poor class ia these
plnching times: Oatmeal contains
81 per cent. of nuiiitive matter;
wheat, S5R per cent; potatoes. 2S
PER cent; the best flesh meat, 25
per cont. 1t may be seen by the
abvoe, that one pound of oatmeal
contains nearly tour times as
much nutrition as one pound of
beef. We pay for becfper pound
fifteen, twenty and twenty five
cents; for ono pound Of oatmeal
We pay five cents.
Nearly half the people of Ire
land and Scotland live on oatmeal
and potatoes; they do not taste
flesh meat once a month. The
writer Of this article has not eaten
flesh for u year; he finds hlmse' t
better physically as well as men,
tally, Ills dinner for one day
consisted of one cents worth of
oaten meal or cracked wheat made
in the form of mush. He does not
do this for economy but for health.
| would like to say a few words
before l close this article on wheat.
Wheat contains OF the carbonates,
or the heat and fat producers,
siXty,two per cent; OF tic phos-
pilates, the class that supplies the
bones, the brain and the nerves,
and gives vital power, both men
tai and muscular, two and half
per cent; of the nitrates, the class
that supplies the waste Of muscle,
twentyone per cent,
If wheat were eaten in it's nat
nral condition, without boiling, it
would supply all tho needed Gle
ments in the human body; but in
the process of boiling nearly the
whole Of the phosphatcs and nj
trates are removed; SO that bread
made Of ofsuperfiuc -four will sustain
life only few weeks.
The best way to get good wheat
meal is to buy of any mill in our
city half a bushel of whole wheat,
thirty pounds. Either get The
miller to grind it for You, or take
it home and grind it iu your coffee
mills.

A NEW cereal has been grown /

A NEW cereal has been grown in
Oregon, and the people are puz-
zled as to whether it belongs to
the wheat family, or more nearly
resembles rye, barley or oats, ,opin-
ions being very nearly equally
divided. From seven to ten
stalks grow from ono root, to a
height of about four feet, and
these stalks, or straws, are thin
and hard. The radicles are tough,
and spread widely. The heads
are six inches in length aud Gov
cred with a heavy beard, each fila
ment being five inches long. The
grain is double the length of n
kernel of wheat, aud instead of
being compact. is hollow, tho cav
ity containing glutinous matter.
While the grain bears closer re.
semblancc to wheat than anything
else, the straw looks more like
that of rye or barley. Its origin
is somewhat peculiar, the first
grain having been taken from the
stomach ofa wild goose, by far
msr in Tillamock County, nearly
three years ago. He was struck
with its appearance, and planted
it, and the succeeding season SOW
ed the product. lie distributed
a portion of the second crop among
a few friends in different parts of
tho State, who this year raised
small quantities. 1t will require
another year to determine the
value Of the grain.

CAYENNE pepper, mustard or
ginger can with great benefit be
added to the food of fowls, TO in
crease their vigor and to stimulate
egg productions. This apparently
artificial diet will be seen to DO nat
ural If We remember that wild
birds of the gallinaceous species
get access to very many highly
spiced berries and binds, articles
that give the "game flavor" to
their flesh. The ordinary food of
the domestic fowl is not, indeed,
entirely without some such addi-
ton, since there is more or less of
an aromatic principle in wheat,
Indian corn, and all other grains.
Nevertheless, it is not sufficient in
quantity to supply the place Of
stronger spices, taste for which
is a part of the fowl's inherited
constitution. A moderate quantity
Of cayenne, etc, added to the
ground grain is always productive
of health and thrift in poultry.

THE YOUTHFUL oRAxaKR TO HIS LOVE.
The moon is shining on the grange,
The winds arc hushed, the leaves, arc still;
The patient stars look softly down
Upon my cot at Shannon Hill.
Then come, nv horny handed love,
And wander through the dell with me,
And gaze upon the Durham bull,
And listen to his pedigree.
Once I was in the railroad ring,
But now my hands are hard with toll;
I've scattered hay seed in my hair,
And blscked my boots with harness oil.
Ny city cows have all run dry,
lam no longer in my prime;
Ny day is drawing to a close,
And it will soon be milking time.

That's just exactly what / need;
She's thin from running out to grass,
But only wants change Of feed;
I'll mix a mash of free trade bran,
Swindle, high taxes, and back pay,
And coax her to the ballot box,
Aud feed her till election day.
With one to grasp her by the horns!
And one u hold her by the tail
Oh, let me safely sit between
And calmly fill my milking pail;
And when November's breezes show
'Tis time my Berkshire hogs to kill,
I'll move back into town again,
And sigh no more for Shannon Hill

Love, Murder and Suicide.

A terrible tragedy, which is al
most too horrible for belief, &C,
Cured on Friday, the 7th instant,
near the little town Of Belle Air,
Cooper county, Cal. AS near as
can be ascertaincd, the particulars
are about these:
Fer some time back a young
man named Henry Roe had been
very much in love with bcauti-
ful Girl named Mollic WalIen, ard
his attentions to her were marked
and persistent. A day or two
ago Roe asked the father his con =
sent to the marriage, and the ia
thcr firmly yet kindly refused.
This So affected Roe that he i'm
mediatcly attempted to commit
suicide, but was prevented by
members of his family. On the
day following his refusal he pro-
cured for himself a Colts revolver,
loaded it carefully, and proceeded
to the hoIse of the woman he
loved. She was in the yard as he
came mp, aud held out her hand
to him kindly, and Hospitality.
The girl had never encouraged
Roc's suit, it Is said, and never
had given MIN any assurance what.
ever of her love. Aa hc was in
the very act Of shaking hands with
her, lie suddenly drew his pistol
and fired twice into the body of
the poor, innocent thing, at such
shot range that the powder set her
clothes on fire. She threw up
her arms ouce, gasped out a word
that was inarticnlate, and died al
most instantly. With a wild cry
Of horror, some Of the family
rushed towards the spot to grap-
Pile with the murderer, but he was
too quick tor all. Without NOV
ing from his tracks, he placed the
revolver to his own head and scat
tered his brains upon the ground.
On his person was found let
ter, which in substance declared
that he loved the woman to mad
ress; that he could not live with
out her; that he did not want TO
live; that lie had deliberately
made up his mind to kill her first
and Their himself; and that disu
nited on earth, he hoped that they
might be united somewhere in the
unknown future.
This terrible affair has cast
gloom and sorrow over the whole
community. Miss Wallen was
young, beautiful and accomplished
and her family is one ef the most
respectable in the whole country.

THE Kalamazoo (Mich.) TIe-
graph, in a sensible article on the
suggestions of tho present time,
says: "In times like these it is a
fist duty to pay what we owe, as
far as possible, and then avoid
purchases on credit for the future.
Whosoever does this shall keep
not only the wolf from his door,
but panic from his dwelling.
Economy, and not extravaganza
must DO the watchword. Con-
sumption must not be allowed to
moro than cat up production, even
though the power Of production be
diminished through the reduction
of prices, whether OF labor or of
material. At time when capital
is suffering so severely, labor can.
not escape, and laborcrs,so far froin
being in condition to strike for
higher wages, may have to work
for about what they can get"

WHEN TO SELL WOOL.

A year ago We thought We saw that
the probabilities were in favor of sell
ing wool promptly after shearing, al.
though we then, as now, expressly dis
claimed any ability to give advice on
the subject which it would do to fol-
low implicitly. None Of our readers,
wo think, have cause to complain Of
our course IN this matter.
We do not believe anyone now knows
what the course Of the market this year
will be. It may be safely stated that
high prices are not to be expected. It
is undoubtedly true that the condition
Of the trade is not satisfactory to the
manufacturers, and the losses Of last
year have made many dealers in wool
v.ry cautious. 1t is quite possible
that tho wool market will open slowly
and at prices below what will afterward
be reached. - .
For the farmer who needs the money
tor the paymeot of debts or for the
payment Of necessary articles, selling
when his product is ready for market
is, in large majority Of cases, the bet.
ter policy. Bearing this fact in mind
we believe it will be best to sell this
years wool crop early-rather than
take the risk Of holding for a whole
year for higher prices, which may moi
come Western Farmer.

MILK CELLARS.

A milk cellar will be coolest when
well sunk into. the earth, and not much
above its surface. Eight feet would
be good depth. The windows near
the top of the walls should be protect.
ed from the sun either by trees or
shrubs, or with blinds or shades; and
wire screens inside should be made to
exclude AL insects. Covering the bot.
tom with hydraulic cement will give it
neatness, but IS cement is not a good
conductor of heat, it will render the
cellar warmer in summer and cooler in
winter, BY preventing access to the
earth. Good stone tagging would be
better 10 this respect, aud hard burned
brick would be better than common
brick. There should be a ventilating
