almost as much nutriment as the best OF
hay; but it is locked up, 50 to speak, in
tough, woody fiber, so that stock will not
eat it, and if they did it would not benefit
them much. When these stalks are
stripped fine and steamed this woody fiber
is softened, the nutriment is unlocked,
and the whole is rendered palatable to any
kind of stock. The same is true of in
ferior hay, made Of coarse, unpalatable
grasses, or when cut too ripe. The adj
vantage in the case of roots, pumpkins
and other vegetables is well known to all
who have investigated the matter. Hogs
will eat cooked potatoes, hot, with avidi-
ty and grow fat on them, when they will
utterly refuse the raw ones.
"A penny saved is penny earned.' If
it will pay to cook food, it should be done.
1t is certainly easier to save food than to
raise it. The decision of all who have
thoroughly tried cooking or steaming is
that it saves, on the average, one third Of
the food. From this it follows that one
third more stock could be kept on the
same land if the practice was adopted,
and there is no doubt that the stock would
be better kept than now. The principal
difficulty seems to be the fear of the extra
labor involved Much of this extra labor
is imaginary, and much of this fear has
been created by the reports Of those who
have tried it without proper facilities, or
knowledge, or judgment, and who have
abandoned ii before acquiring the ex-
perience necessary to make it successful.
One who has cooked food for stock, for
several years, tells us it has paid him bet
ter than any other investment he has
made, and that he believes it will pay any
man who has half a dozen cattle and
horses to feed. Let farmers test the mat
ter for themselves, and then they can
reach proper conclusions as to profits in
their own particular cases.-Oht0 Farmer.

The Centennial Doll.

MIR. JEROME TICE, of Clermount Coun-
ty, gives us description ard history OF a
Centennial doll, which is still in the Tice
family, preserved as an heirloom, ana
which has had such adventures as make it
an interesting relic. The doll was a
New Years gift, JAN. 1, 1774, to little
Sarah Horn, she being then but three
years old, and living in the city of Phila-
delphia. Her father was Sergeant in the
Pennsylvania Marines. The doll was the
gift of an uncle who was wood carver.
1t was more than foot in length and was
a handsome piece of work, being carved
from wood and representing woman in
the costume of the period, high heeled
slippers, high head-gear and all. When
Philadelphia was evacuated Mr.. Horns
family went to Bordentown, N. j., and
were there when Mr.. Borden's house was
burned. AT the battle of Monmouth, the
family with others were hidden in a
swamp near that battle ground. The doll
shared the fate of the family, but was pre-
served in the swamp by its little owner
with tender care. 1t has been held as an
heirloom ever since. In 1853 it was
brought from New Jersey to Mrs. Smith,
descendant of Sarah Horn, who married
Elias Tice, and was given to a member of
the family. During the Morgan raid it
was in Batavia and was again the object
of tender solicitude on the part of its then
young owner, who concealed it in her
clothing to keep it from falling into the
hands of the enemy. The doll is now in
the possession of Temperance Tice, whose
home is in indianapolis. 1t deserves a
place in its early home-Philadelphia-
during this Centennial year.-Cinctnnati

PettIng Mich Cows.

If you want a COW to be gentle she
must be treated gently. If you don't want
her to kick over the milk pail you must
never kick her. Ifyou want her to give
down her milk, you must never hurt her
udder teats by handling them harshly.
The Country Gentleman says: GA mich
COW should be quiet and contented. She
will have to be petted and made much of
Certain it is that where single COW is
petied and we'll taken care of there will
be a great increase in the milk over her
former yield. | have known quite a
number of such cases. | never knew one
that did not show this improvement
Treat each of the members of the herd
like the ore taken from it, and kept as
single cow, and the whole herd will be
improved. My experience has revealed
to me the fact that our native cows, which
form the staple of our diaries, are capable
of great improvement, probably because
they came of good blood originally when
brought over, although they have been
abused or permitted to run down. 1t
needs only good treatment to bring them
up to good point. This is my expert
ence. Kind treatment is one of the prin-
cipal sources of profit in securing dairy
herd. There are cows-the Ayrshires-
that give more milk, and the Jerseys,
that have more cream; but for profit, on
the whole, the common native, so far as
the writer's experience goes, surpasses
them both, only, however, when the treat
ment is discriminative and thorough
Then the advantage with the whole herd
Will be similar to that of the COW separated

The Successful Physician.

There is probably no man to whom the
community owe so much as to the honest,
fair-spoken physician, who does his actual
duty both to himself and TO his patients.
Really skillful physicians are not so numer-
Gus that their virtues need no mention, and
hence the advertisement OF Dr. r. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, may well claim the readers at
tention. DR.. Pierce is type Of class OF
men who obtain success by careful and
well-directed effort, not attempting too
much, or creating false ideas as to ability.
The only reliable physician in these days Of
complicated disorders and high -pressure liv-
ing is the "Specialist," the man who under.
stands his one branch of the business. Such
in his line is DR.. Pierce. For the benefit of
his readers he has written a "Common
Sense Medical Adviser" which is well worth
reading BY those who need such work.
With strict business honor, high profession
al skill, reasonable fees, and large corps OF
competent assistants, DR.. Pierce will doubt.

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

Sand Tart.-Two pounds of flour, two
pounds OF sugar, one and quarter
hounds butter, four eggs, salt, roll thin,
sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top, and
bake on tin sheets.
To make an omelet, cut from the loaf
q slice an inch thick and pour over it
half pint of boiling milk. Stir it smooth,
adding pepper and salt. Beat five eggs,
volks and whites separately; pour on to
the soaked bread stir ii together and bake
in quick oven.
To make pumpkin shortcake, take
one cup stewed and strained pumpkin or
SQUASH, one cup C" oatmeal porridge,
and one cup water. Beat these up to-
gether, and then add three cups fine Gra-
ham flour. Mix thoroughly, spread half
an inch thick on a baking tin, and bake
half an hour in good oven. Cover for
ten minutes and serve warm or cold.
A writer states that farmers will find
the following profitable for house or fence
paint: Skim milk, two quarts fresh
slaked lime, eight ounces; linseed oil, six
ounces white Burgundy pitch, two
ounces; Spanish white, three pornds.
The lime is to be slaked in water exposed
to the air, and then mixed with about one
fourth of the milk; the oil in which pitch
is dissolved to be added, little at time,
then the rest of the milk, and afterwards

paint. If desirable, any other color may
be produced: thus, if a cream color is de

white use the ocher alone.
The London Veterinary Jowndl adj
vocates simple and inexpensive appli-
ance to prevent horses from falling in
winter 1t consists simply of one or more
steel studs, let into the horses shoe. One
in front is sufficient. but for heavy work
two more at the sides arc recommended.
The stud is square bit of steel nearly an
inch long, pointed at one end and taper
ing slightly from about the middle of the
other that enters the shoe. No filing or
finish is necessary, and any blacksmith
Can make large number in a very short
time out of an old rasp or file. The stud
must fit tightly, care being taken that it
does not wobble," and that it does not
pass quite through the shoe. The hole is
made with an ordinary square punch.
This simple system has proved very
efficient after an extensive trial, and saves
horses great pain, suffering, and often
fatal injury.
TO get early tomatoes, says writer
on the subject, you must, as soon as your
tomato plant has made four leaves, pinch
the top bud from the stem, then take up
the plant, pinch off two inches from the
top root and transplant it in common
box frame, where the soil is rich and
loamy. The box will keep off the wind
and plants sown and grown there eighteen
inches apart will produce fruit two weeks
sooner than the same planted in the open
ground. A mat or a few boards, spread
over the frame at night will keep them
from frost, and is far easier and quicker
than going over "a field nightly and setting
boxes over each hill AS soon as the
plants have set fruit on two blossoms of
each branch, and the top has grown two
to four leaves, the pinching off the ends
of each branch and top should be again
put in practice. Farmer.
