Effects OF Potatoes on Milk.

We do not think the partial expert
ments upon this matter are properly in
terpreted, even by those who have made
them. 1t has been found that d large
feed of potatoes lessons the percentage of
hay digested; but we think the large
amount OF starch contained in the potato
causes 4 looseness OF the bowels. and thus
lmpairS the digestive function. We have
often 1ed potatoes to COWS in milk With
great benefit. Our plan has been to run
potatoes through a root slicer, and feed
1our quarts at time, mixed with cut hay
and a pint UI oil meal OF pea meal, or 4
quart OF oats And since the experiments
mentioned. We have again tried this mode
Ol feeding and found it 10 work admira
hly Well. The potato is Il very imperfect

INC too little nitrogen and phosphate ol
lime to make milk but it is the richest
root raised on the farm, and when fed in
small quantity, raw. will regulate the
bowels and have 4 similar effect To green
grass. 1t is a very laxative food in the
raw state, and thar is. probably, the cause
of lis peculiar effect upon the digestion
of hay
When The potato is cooked the effect is
quite different and its value is greatly
increased. \ small quantity OF potatoes,
say four quarts as 4 feed. Will increase
the Weld of milk nearly as much as So
much grain, provided they are fed with
other food rich in the constituents of
milk. The american dairNman is prone
to feed one thing at 4 time. almost wholly.
instead of giving variety in food which
Will furnish all the elements required III
the proper proportion. We found an oh
lection to the use of oil meal when fed
above Two pounds per day to a COW, as it
is too laxative. We found one quart per
day the most profitable, and have also
found one peek oi potatoes per day, in
two feeds, the most profitable.

TO REMOVE GREAsE-spoTs FROM MAR
BILE. The German Bauzeitung says To
remove greaSe-spots from marble is no
very easy task; for the most part the
grease penetrates deeply, and is very Oh
stinately retained by the crystalline sub
stance. \ satisfactory result is obtained
most quickly by smea.ing Il semi-tiud
paste oI benZole and chalk mud in a
layer about twenty millenelres thick,
over the spots, and covering with a wet
cloth. The operation must be repeated
until the spots disappear.

THE POULTRY. Feed the table scraps
to the chickens instead of throwing them
10 the pigs. They are worth more to the
poultry; and everything that falls from
the table-dry crusrs, vegetable leavings.

youred by old and young fowls. There
is variety in this food also, which the
birds appreciate. Crush the eggshells
before throwing them to Your poultry, as
otherwise egg-eating may be taught The
bones may be pounded in a mortar, and
all the crumbs after the tamilv's meal
may thus be admirably utilized, and to
one-halt better profit than if this debris

THE pEKILS or LACK IN THE BLACK
HILLS. The most prosperous treasure
hunters in the Black Hills, perhaps, have
been party known us the Wheeler
brothers. who last summer took ont from
their claim ON DradWood Culch I'm I'M
menSe quantity Of gold-Clust and in the
fall carried it Ia philadelphia to be coined.
The pcrila attending their accumulation
Of the metal and its removal are thus
graphically described hy the Greeley
Tribune: Every day for many weeks they
washed out large amounts OF gold which
they secrete0 in various ways, hiding it
in the earth, floor Of their cabin, etc;
$4,000 was for TWO months kept in the
bottom Of a sack OF flour, which stood
open as for use Many much larger
amounts We're secreted in this log cabin,
which the miners and rOughs were al
lowed to enter freely. During the last
two months two OF the company We're in
the cabin all the time, day and night.
They left Deadwood for the East Sept. 10,
taking with them a guard Of fifteen civil
ians, armed to the teeth. On the morn
inc OF starting Wheeler heard that a
dozen armed rut1ians had secretly left the
settlement Two hard-lOOking men made
some excuse for accompanying them, and
one was anxious to trade for Wheeler'S
fine repeating rifle. He was told that
there was particular use for that gun.
The two men soon disappeared over the
hill in search of game \ little distance
out the advance guard reported two men
on a prominence taking 4 general survey.
Some hours later, ina place where the
road goes through a depression and is
lined on each side by large trees, the par
ty found twelve men awaiting them, who,
when they saw how well their intended
prey were armed, made no attack but
told story about having been attacked
by Indians. The party reached Cheyenne
in safety with their gold, having travelled
nearly $50 miles in nine days. Here they
dispensed with their guard, and putting
their treasure in Satchels, took train iol
Philadelphia. The weight of the gold in
a satchel carried by one of the men caused
the handles to snap off, and the man car
red his precious burden on his shoulders
across Chicago. He declared he would
not do it again tor it. Wheeler does not
advise persons to 90 to the Hills, unless
they know what they are TO do or have
money. 1t is difficult for inexperienced
men to get work in the mines.

fore which stood Il hack cab. AS he
passed, an invalid, bearing on his face the
eruption of smallpox, came out and en-
tered the cab The observer followed the
vehicle as rapidly as he could and was
just i'll time to see it deposit its fare 1T Il
smallpox hospital. Then he saw the
driver hailed by a lady and gentleman,
whom he vainly endeavored to warn by
shouts. They took no notice, got in and
drove off The observer still followed,
and was Just in time to see the pair de-
scend at the door of a house in one Of the
best squares in London. Some time after,
being again in London, our informant
thought he would call at the house. He
found the blinds of the house down. The
master had died on the previous day OF
smallpox, and his wife was not expected
to recover from the same malady.
