The Parsnip.

The parsnip is one of the most valua-
bic roots that can be grown. In the
island of jersey it is used almost eXclu-
sively for fattening both cattle and
swine. According to lie Contour the
weight of Il good crop varies front thirteen
to twenty-Sevcn tons per acre. When
parsnips are given to mich cows, with a
little hay, in the winter season, the but
ter is found to he of as fine a color and
excellent flavor as when the animals are
feeding in the best pasturage. As par
ships contain six percent. more mucIlage
than carrots, the difference may be suf-
ficient to account for the superior fatten-
ing as well as buttermaking qualities of
the parsnip. In the fattening of cattle
the parsnip is found superior to the car
rot, performing the business with more
expedition, and affording meat of exqui-
site and juicy flavor; the animals cat it
with much greediness. The result of
experiment has shown that not only in
neat cattle, but in the fattening of hogs
and poultry, the animals become fat
much sooner, and are more healthy, than
when fed with any other root or vcgeta-
bic, and the meat is more sweet and de-
licious. The parsnip leaves being more
bulky than those of the carrots, may be
mown off before taking the roots, and
given to oxen, cows, or horses, by which
they will be grcedily eaten. Another
thing in favor of parsnips for this coun-
try is, that the frost does not injure
them. They may remain in the ground
until spring, when they make splendid
feed, at a time every other root or green
thing is scarce; or they may be slightly
buried, where they can be obtained al
most any time during the winter

The Slow Times,

We do not look for a sudden revival of
business any longer, says DIR. Holland in
Scribner's Monthly. If our diagnosis of
the case is incorrect, there can be no sud
den cure. We of this generation will
hardly live to see the country genuinely
prosperous. Great masses ofprOpertv are
to be abandoned. The capital stock of
multitudes of corporations will be sunk.
and their property will pass into the hands
of bondhOlders and creditors, at such A
price that they may possibly be made re-
meratively useful. Hundreds of millions
of invested funds will practically cease to
exist. The things in which these funds
have been invested cannot be used, and
they might just As well have been thrown
into the fire. Thus the means of living
have been enormously reduced among
capitalists, and more men need work to
do than used to need it. With this fact
on one side. we find set over against it
the other fact, that of the multitude who
had adjusted their industry to the CON
ditions of war, only part are needed
under the conditions of peace Tens.
twenties, fiftics are to be counted out of
the mills, the factories, the shops, and
sent either into idlencss, or into some
other field of industry. In other words,
our national industry is to he read
Justed.
The cities and ccnters which have
grown so rapidly will naturally cease to
grow. The larger cities will grow, per
haps, as London grows, by their attrac-
ton for men OF wealth, but the men of
enterprise will not crowd into places
where there Is no work or reward for
them. The boys will stand by their
fathers farms better than they have
done; and hundreds of thousands of men
and women who have LETT the farm and
the farmhouse must return to them. 1t

Attend to the Animals.

Next to the family, the most import
ant duty i to make our domestic ami
mails comfortable. There is great
profit in it Warmth is, to a certain ex-
tent, equivalent to food. And, what is
of far greater Importance, it saves diges-
ton. 1t is sometimes said, when speak
ing on this subject, that corn or hay is a
costly fuel, but this does not tell half the
story. When an animal is exposed to
storms, and loses an excessive amount of
heat, this heat has to be supplied from
the blood or from flesh and fat And
good meat, fat or butter, is certainly a
very expensive fuel to burn in the ami
NAL stove Many farmers who think it
great waste to burn body maple" in
in the house. allow their cows to burn
butter in the barn-yard. This is precisely
what thousands and tens of thousands of
farmers do every winter. We implore
every reader to provide some shelter for
his animals-if it is nothing more than Il
shed of evcrgrccn-branchcs or corn
stalks.
Next to exposure, one of the most
serious drawbac to profitable stock
feeding is the want of a liberal and regu-
lar supply of nutritious food. Many
farmers cannot be made to understand
that an animal eats Il large amount of
food merely to keep it alive, and that all
the profit the owner derives from keep
ing the animal comes from the food eaten
in excess of this amount. If straw will
keep an animal alive, all the profit of
keeping the'animal is derived from hay
or grain fed in addition to the straw.
Horses that have worked hard during
the autumn had better rest a little this
month, rather than towards spring. But
much depends, of course, on what there
is to be done. If horses are well fed,
steady work does not hurt them. And
it costs so much to keep a horse that we
can not afford to let him lie idle unnec-
essar.ly. Horses that have been pam
pered in the city are rejuvenated by
winters run at IL straw stack, but farm
horses are seldom benefited to a like eN
tent by such treatment. The only adj
vantage i'll turning them ont is that it
saves the labor of taking care of them.
They ought to have warm shed to run
into in stormy weather.

American Steel in England.

Our Wolverhampton correspondent
writes last night: g English edge-tooI
makers are fully aware of the success
with which certain of their business rivals
in America have supplanted them in
many of our home and foreign markets
So large, however, is the demand at pres
ent for good cdgc-tools of almost every
description that there are few cdgc-tool
firms in the United Kingdom who have
not plenty of orders upon their books.
The English article is not, therefore, out
of use, but t ere is perceptiblc increase
in their favor in which handy and thor
oughlv excellent tools are held, both at
home and abroad and this being cncour-
aged by the growing facilities for manip-
ulating steel, both shear and cast. Sen
sibie of this, certain American firms are
pushing their opportunity, and American
forks, shovels and axes are to he had
wherever edge-tools are offered in this
country 1t would seem that the Amer
leans believe they can compete with us
much more successfully by having branch
establishments to manufacture their spe-
cialties in this country rather than by
shipping their produce from the other
side. A firm of cast-teel shovel makers
at Pittsburg, who have recently brought
out a shovel in which the straps, though
of iron, are compacted with the steel
during the process of casting, and who
are making, at very low figure, and
with very little manual labor, shovels
that are getting very rapidly into Use
thr, ughout the States, are now, through
a representative who has recently come
over from Pittsburg to England making
inquiries which will regulate their actions
and determine them whether they will
themselves begin to make in this country,
or whether they will offer their process to
English firms or to an English company.
If American edge-tool makers should be-
gin to produce here goods that are already
running English makers hard, then it is
to be inferred that their example will be
followed by other Transatlantic hard
ware manufacturers. Whether in such
an event the English firms would remain
as well employed as they now are remains
to be seen.-London Times
