A FARMER of our acquaintance made
an experiment. He took sheep that
weighed about 100 pounds, put it in a
pen, and after it had become wonted
weighed all its food, and found that
three pounds per day of fodder and
grain was all he could make the sheep
eat. The farmer had verified rule well
known to the much despised ''book farm
ers, and arrived at by many and care
full experiments, that about three pounds
of good food per day for each one hun
dred weight of live stock, is fattening
allowance. For illustration, a sheep
weighing 100 pounds requires three
pounds of food per day, and steer
weighing 1000 needs thirty pounds
These rules are approximately correct,
being varied somewhat by quality Of
food and stock. The farmer knowing
the weight of his feed and that of his
stock, by applying these rules can guess
closely as to whether he has food enough
for his stock.

ATTEND TO Cows UDDERs IN EARLY
WNTEB. writer in the Vermont Farm
er utters the following timely caution in
regard to cows udders, in drying them
off. As my cows are ''drying off, at
this season of the year I find their I'D
ders require frequent attention. I have
failed to notice in the agricultural jour
nails any complaint of such trouble, but
in my own dairy, and particularly with
COWS as are in the highest condition,
clotted milk is apt to collect in one or
perhaps all the quarters Of the bag after
milk has been discontinued, and some
times even much later, after [ have sup
posed the flow of milk to be entirely ar
rested and the bag quite dry. AS this
secretion goes on, unless the clotted mat
ter is Withdrawn, the teat and udder be-
comes more and more distended, infa-
nation ensues and putrefaction of the
contents sets in. I make no question
but that neglect of this matter is the
cause of permanent mischief to the I'D
der, and particularly of that contracted
condition of the muscles which regulate
the passage of milk from the bag into
the teat, condition discovered not un-
frequently, and with surprise as well as
regret, when COWS come into milk in the
spring, and which ever after renders the
milking of such cows very irksome.

man in Washington was requested on
Saturday last by friend to join him
on visit to the depot to witness the
arrival of the King of the Sandwiches.

have been in bad company.

joking GOING ON HERE.

Old Uncle Jimmy, rs he was called,
was strong and deueut Methodist He
always took leading part as one of the
congregation, and sometimes the ''boys'
thought he interested himself little
more than was necessary about their af-
fairs and doings,s for he was always
lecturing some one about their morals
and exposing their bad deeds to the
public. So they (the boys concluded
they would break him of this very bad
habit.
The s6hool-house in which the
services were conducted was arranged
in their old style-the seats running
around the sides of the room. Now
Uncle Jimmy had one particular seat,
which he always claimed and occupied
during services.
Now for the plan of attack, which was
thus:
A small hole was made through the
seat, and. common darning needle
fastened to wooden spring under the
seat, to which was attached strong cord
running around the entire room paral-
lei with the seats; the string was fast
ened to the spring, SO that when it was
pulled in certain direction it would
cause the needle to pass up through the
seat, and whoever happened to be on it
would receive the full benefit of the stu
alton.
Well, the time came for trial the
boys were all there early. At last Uncle
Jimmy came in and dropped into his
accustomed seat.
No sooner had he touched, however,
than he bounded up again, with yell
that might easily have been mistaken
for that of mad bull. On looking
around for the cause of his dudden dis
comfort he could find nothing, and soon
all was quiet again.
After services had begun some one
gave the string another sl1ghtpull, when
OhC1O y iHIlIy olOuUCU OuG.
Cooking going on here!'
The minister and congregation looked
at him, and some of them arose in their
seats; but, as before, everything quoted
down and services proceeded.
After a while, forgetting his troubles,
Uncle Jimmy gradually went off into
the Gland of nod" when the string
was again jerked, more resolutely than
before. Uncle Jimmy jumped up
again, rubbing the afflicted part, and
exclaimed:
"Joking-joking going on here p
This time the parsons and deacons
gathered around him, and the boys,
being no longer able to hold in, burst
out laughing, in which the rest of the
congregation soon followed suit.
A more thorough search was made,
the needle found but not the boys.

RATS.
What the Rodents are Good For.
From All the Year Round.

From All the Year Round.
Of What use is the rat to man? Well,
not very much that we know of; yet a
few items may be mentioned. Probably
we must not attach too much importance
to the alleged prohetic powers of the rat
that if he gnaws a persons clothes.
that person will speedily die; that if he
suddenly quits house, the house Will
very shortly be burned down; that if
he deserts ship, the ship is in ssink-
ing condition. A mill at PEBBLES was
suddenly deserted by whole colony Of
rats about twenty years ago; two hours
afterward the mill was burned down.
But it must be confessed the logic is
very weak that proves, from these facts,
the possession of any prophetic power
by Mr.. Rat. We have evidence that he
has been made useful, as an r. E. or an
r. A. James, In his military dictionary,
says: ''Rats are sometimes used in mil
itary operations, particularly for the pur-
pose of setting fire to gunpowder. On
these occasions lighted match is tied
to the tail of the animal. Marshal Vau-
ban recommends, therefore, that the
walls of powder magazines shall be
made very thick, and the passages for
light and air so narrow as not to admit
rats" We do not know whether a cruel
sport can be called useful employment
'of rats; but an account is given of a
strange proceeding at Rome. large
number of rats were dipped in spirits OF
|turpentine set on fire and made to rush
down an open flight of stairs near the
Vatican; they reached the bottom as
masses of charred flesh, amid the shouts
I of the populace. Rats are worth three
.shillings dozen, to furnish a supply for
those brutal exhibitions, in which rat
killing terriers show their power Rats
|are also caught for the value of their
skins. The fur is dressed into very
good substitute for beaver, while the
pelt is dressed into leather SO fine, elias
tic and close as to be used for the thumbs
for the best gloves. There is firm in
Paris which buys the skin for this pur-
pose. II one believes that rats are not
used for food he must change his opin-
ion. In Paris the chitoniers or bone
grabbers eat them. Gypsies eat such
rats as are caught in stacks and barns
and are less strong in flavor and odor
than those that feed omniverously. In
China split rats are bought as dainty.
An English surgeon of some note had
some cooked for his own eating. In
nan-of-war, where the rats made havoc
with the biscuit, the sailors had regu-
ar battle and brought down numbers of
hem. Jack made rat pie, baked it, and
liked it. At the siege of Malta, the
French garrison when famished, offered
As much as dollar for every head of
rats, or two dollars if barn fed. During
the siege of Paris, in the late Franco
German war, many tasted rat who never
! tasted it before.
