BEEF Production. - Some farmers
who have the capital to use and ample
barns, will find it profitable to 90 into
the winter fattening of beeves, even if
compelled to purchase largely of fool
for the purpose. Indeed, this is one of
the best methods also, to improve the
fertility of the farm. For adult ami
mails; in taking on flesh remove but a
small proportion of the substance of
the food in digestion, save the fats the
rest goes to the manure. English far
mers owe their fertile soils and con-
siderable profits largely to the stall
feeding of beeves. Stall fed beeves
always brings the highest price in our
Eastern markets. We know several
farmers who have made comfortable
fortunes by this branch of farming
which comes in so handily during the
of season.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE CORN sruBBLE.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE CORN STUBBLE.
-Fields that have been cleared in time
should be plowed in readiness for early
sowing of oats in spring. If roots are
to follow the corn, the stubble may be
ploughed at once and sOwn with rye.
Three or four bushels should be sown
to the acre. This rye will furnish a
heavy crop of green fodder next May,
or an excellent early pasture in the
spring, or may be plOughed under as
green manuring. In either case the
expense of the seed, which is the only
outlay, will be many times repaid in
the increase of the following crop.

AGRICULTURAL.

PAINT Your FARM IMPLEMENTs.-
Millions of dollars are lost annually in
the United States, by neglect to paint
farm wagons, plows, harrows; &c.
These things, if well painted and kept
under cover when not In use, will last
three times as long as they will wien
not repainted after two or three years
use. Any farmer can paint these
things. All that is needed is Venetian
red and lipseed oil, half raw and half
boiled, then wash the implement to be
painted thoroughly, and proceed to ap-
ply the paint.-Even pleasure carriages
can be nicely painted at about one
tenth the cost when painted by a car
riage maker. A farmer says: "After
paying twenty dollars every other year
to the carriage makers for painting and
vanishing my buggy, and being with
out the use of it for fifteen days while
at the shop, l concluded to inquire into
the matter little. believing all that a
farmer can do towards keeping his tools
and farm machinery in order should be
done at home. We too often employ
the mechanic to mend our harness,
when we can do it quite as well, though

next time my buggy needed painting, |
called at the carriage shop and enquired
what they would paint it for. They
would clean and put on one coat of
paint and varnish it for fifteen dollars,
ana for all necessary repairs in wood,
iron or leather, they would charge at
the rate of thirty cents an hour and add
the value Of materials used; tor two
coats Of paint, and one of varnish,
twenty dollars, and two weeks time to
do the work in. / concluded to paint
and varnish it myself, and the result
is that it cost me in paint and varnish
only sl.50, and the work was done as
well, so far as could see, as they
would have done il. i gave it two coats

Nouet Node OF Strengthening Cast
IOR.-The President, Mr.. X. NJ. Ban
croft, and members of the Civil and
Mechanical Engineers Society, when
visiting Kirkaldy's testing and expert
mental works the other day, were
shown a cast iron bar which had been
sent to him to test, as a sample that
had been treated with mysterious chem
zeal mixtures. which were said to in
crease its tensile strength over fifty
per cent. But as Mr.. Kiikaldy's rule
is always TO break the specimen. or
else his machine, he found 1t contained,
upon being fractured, a center core of
wrought iron about two inches in diam
eter. and six small ones of the same
metal spaced around it. He thus ex-
posed the secfet.-IMiRing and Scientific

Cutting Steel rih Soft Iron.-Jacob
Reese; or PIttsburg, Pa, had long en-
deavored to construct a machine to cut
hardened cold steel. He accomplished
it at length by means of saw of soft
wrought iron-mereiy circular disk
rotating at high velocity. With low
speed this would not cut at all; but
when running about 10000 feet per
minute the disk cuts through steel ra-
pidly, giving out an immense cascade
or sparks in the operation. Ii was
found on examining the debris beneath
the disk that the particles of steel were
not simply rubbed OFF. They were
welded together in n pyramid like a
stalagmite or the snCw circles on the
top OF Mount Washington. Professor
Hedrick ascertained that real fusion
had taken place among the particles of
steel. The disk is very little heated,
but the steel is actually melted and
drops down. Yet the bar on each side
of the cut is not heated enough To draw
the temper or oxldize the metal. Solid
bars of steel. of two or three inches in
diameter. are thns cut through in as
many minutes. The soft metal disk is
about forty-twO inches in diameter.
The naked hands may be passed
through the jet or stream of flying
sparks during the operation without
being burned, since the particles of
melted metal are in the condition
known as the spheroidal state.

some hydrochloric acid, or compounds
of that acid with metallic bases, such
as aluminium. iron. zinc, copper, or tin,
which will then act energetically on
vegetable matters, while 1t will pro-
duce no alteration on wood.

FAT MEAT.-A celebrated French in
structor in the art of cookery says that
fat meat is the most profitable He
adds: ''Many buy inferior meat on ac-
count Of the waste of the fat that is al
ways found in good meat. When the
fat is wasted, it is the fault of the cook,
who does not know how to use it. The
fat skinned off the broth of boiled
meat, and that coming from the trim
ming OF raw or cold beef, is much
superior to lard to fry with. Lard fiies
all over; beef fat never does, when
properly melted. To melt beef fat or
suet, cut it in small pieces, and set on
rather slow fire, in an iron pan. As
soon as it begins to melt, skim the
melted part off with a ladle, and turn it
into stone jar, which you cover when
cold. Put il away in a cool, dry, and
dark place. a careful cook never needs
lard for frying purposes, but always
has more fat than is necessary out of
boiling or roasting pieces"

To PREVENT HORSES FROM FALLING.
The London Veterinary Journal advo-
Gates simple and inexpensive appli-
ance to prevent horses from falling in
winter. 1t consists simply of one or
more steel studs, set into the horses
shoe. One in front is sufficient, but
for heavy work two more at the sides
are recommended. The stud is square
bit of steel nearly an inch long pointed
at one end and tapering slightly from
abou: the middle of the other that en-
tiers the shoe. No filing or finishing is
necessary, and any blacksmith can
make a large number in very short
time out of an old rasp or Tile. The
stud must fit tightly, care being taken
that it does not ''wobble," and that il
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, suf-
fering and often fatal injury.
