ers in regard to grinding, cutting, and
steaming food tor their stock, but we
believe it is mainly in consequence Of
the extra labor required, and not
from any reason to apprehend injury
to the animal Coarse food made
palatable and easy to digest by such
processes as we have named is not
likely to be injurious, even if it is in
a slightly unnatural condition. The
experiments of our most scientific ag-
riculturists show that it is economy
to make the food of domestic animals
as digestible as possible, without de,
stroying its nutritive properties, and
farming is carried TO ITS greatest per
lection. and Is most profitable. when
these processes are most in vogue.
Our farmers must learn to practise
economy by saving. not wasting, the
coarser kinds OF farm produce which
have TO great extent been cOnsld
cred of little or no value. More root
crops should be grown, and the straw
stack utilized instead of being left to
rot down for manure. as Is stlll-done
over large extent of country. Let
the steam boiler be set up and be
more extensively used for preparing
food for stock, and better results will
surely follow, especially in the older
States. where all kinds of farm pro-
duce command good prices Few
farmers seem to know how little food
will keep an animal healthy, and in
good flesh, if that little is put in the
condition to be all appropriated to the
animals use, and not pass off undi-
gested.

How to SweeD.

Sweeping, for well woman, is one
of the best kinds of exercise. 1t calls
into play especially the muscles of the
upper extremities and chest, and in
deed, it is pretty good thorough
exercise, almost too strong for any
woman with weak back, though this
depends very much on what is to be
swept. A painted floor and Canton
mating sweep easily; an ingram car
pet is harder; a rag carpet harder
still; while Brussels and velvet are
awful" Well, then. in any case,
cover your head, and, if it is in the
parlor or sitting room, cover your
furniture and books, dampen your
broom, let it stand ten to twenty min
utes, and then sweep carefully, but
persistently. In the corners insert
your broom repeatedly (but not fran
tically) until quite clean. Heavy car
pets are best swept with quick short
stroke In any case bring the broom
towards you or even with you; do not
firt it in front of you. That motion
kicks up dust which is bad for the
lungs. Some things, like straw, raw
ellings, and bits of paper are best
picked up with the hand or small
broom, to which they readily cling,
and may he removed with the other
hand To conclude, have as few car
pets as possible They are dirty, un-
wholesome, and expensive. Painted
or oiled floors and Canton mating are
better.

Horses.

Can be educated to the extent of
their understandings as well as chill
dren, and can be easily damaged or
ruined by bad management. We be
lieve that the great difference found
in horses as to vicious habits or re-
liability comes more from the differ
ent management of men than from
variance of natural disposition in the
animals. Horses with high mettle
are more easily educated than those OF
less or dull spirits, and are more sus-
ceptible to. i'll training, and conse-
quently may be as good or bad, ac-
cording to the education they receive.
Horses with dull spirits are not by
any means proof against bad manage
ment. for in them may often be found
the most provoking obstinacv; vicious
habits of different characters that
render them almost entirely worth
less. Could the coming generations
of horses in this country be kept from
their days of colt hood to the age Of
five years in the hands OF good, care
full managers, there would be seen a
vast difference in the general charac-
ters of the noble animals.

TOp.Dressing Meade WIS.
TMiebisyap Farmer

The results of single top-dressing
on eight plots of nearly half an acre
each of sandy warm soil of our State
Agricultural College Farm exhibited
the following facts at the end of three
years: The top-dressing was applied
in 1864. and the grass was cut twice
each season in 1864 and 1865 and once
in 1866. The produce of each cutting
and of each lot was weighed separately
and a perfect record kept. The re-
suits for the four seasons were as fol-
lows: On the plot to which no ma
nure or fertilizer was applied the total
weight of hay yielded per acre was
$40 pounds. Where two bushels OF
plaster per acre was applied the yield
per acre was 3,226 pounds, gain of
.4S4 pounds Where five bushels of
wood ashes were applied the yield
per acre was 12,907 pounds, gain of
4, 165 pounds. Where three bushels
of salt was sown per acre. the yield
was IL, 969 pounds, gain per acre OF
5 227 pounds. Where 20 loads of
muck per acre was laid on, the yield
per acre was ID, SIG pounds. gain oil
5,O74 pounds. Where 20 loads of
horse manure was laid on, the yield
was II, CSC pounds, gain of 6.224
pounds These are results which in
dictate that there are fertilizers which
will produce as good results as plas
ter For instance, the plaster yielded
gain of 81 per cent. while the horse
manure give an increase of Il per
cent. or nearly ton more grass per
acre in the three years.

Economy In Feedin & stock.
New York Weekly Sun

lNeW w ethly Suu
To raise and gather sufficient food
to keep number of COWS, sheep or
horses, through four to six months of
Winter, requires no small amount of
labor and money, and our farmers
have to make close calculations in
this matter, or find the balance on the
wrong side of the ledger. When the
country was new and the land rich
enough to produce bountiful crops
without the application of manures,
the kinds of food costing the least la
Dor were preferred; consequently good
hay and grain answered every purpose
and practising economy by feeding
anything else was seldom thought OF
by the well-to-dO farmer. But of late
years, hay, straw, and oats have be-
come cash articles, even far back in
the country, and hundreds of miles
from our larger cities, and this change
Of circumstances naturally leads the
farmer to count more closely the cost
of keeping his stock. If COW will
consume two tons of hay during the
Winter, and this is worth twenty dol
lars per ton, it does not require much
figuring to arrive at definite conclu-
SIGN in regard to what may be expec-
ted in the way of profits. OF course
it would not be economy for the farm
er to sell all his richest and best fod-
der, and then endeavor to keep his
stock through Winter on the poorest.
Still, by the application of an in
creased amount OF labor in preparing
a second-rate article, its value for
food may frequently be largely in
creased. 1t Is here that economy
may be practised, and is, to consid-
cradle extent. by our most thorough
and thriving farmers. Hay at twenty
to thirty dollars per ton is very dear
food, but it is so convenient for hand
ling or feeding out that the owners of
stock dislike to dispense with it, even
if it does cost more than they can
really afford to pay. The same may
be said of oats: but convenience goes
a great way in creating a demand. es-
pecially with those who are not COM
PEELED to practise strict economy.
But farmers who reside near good
markets may turn many a penny to
the profit side of their farm accounts,
by disposing Of their most saleable
and readily handled produce. and
then using those OF an opposite char
acter for their own stock. The coars-
er kinds of forage plants will answer
as we'll as the finer if artificialiy pre-
pared. by cutting up and steaming,
adding meal, shorts, or bran, and CIV
ing roots at the same time. Hunga-
rian grass, millet, cornstalks, and
straw become first-rate food for stock
when properly prepared by cooking or
steaming. We know that there is
much prejudice existing among farm

When Louise NJ. Coffin returned
from the Sandwich Islands, two years
ago, she was accompanied by young
native girl, Miss Mary E. Torbert,
who visited this country to finish her
education. She entered School at
Earlham College. where she remained
until it became evident that her
health was giving way under the
rigors of our northern climate. Her
physicians advised return to the
genial summer land from whence she
came Her journey homeward was
speeded by kind friends who rendered
her every possible aid and procured
all the comforts that could be given.
But when she arrived at Honolulu
in the latter part of August, con-
sumption had SO far completed it's
work, that she lived only few weeks
after reaching home and friends-and

Astor paid more taxes on real estate
than any other man in the country
He paid annually as taxes on his real
property $500, 900, which is one seven

collected annually in this city. The
assessed value of his real estate is
understood to be some $56. 10000, with

of him that In every mile that he
walked or rode he passed some build
ings owned by him. His possession
of real property was confined almost
exclusively to this city, with the ex

some 600 acres in the Township of
lied Hook, in this State, and a few
hundred acres of land in the West,
which he took In payment of debts.
About one-sixth OF his real estate is
locked up in long leases, some of
which are expiring almost every day,

does not own a single vacant lot.
