Feeding for Butter.

A reader of the Tribune wants to know
(which is the best and cheapest feed for a
butter dary-wheat bran at Sl.25 per cwt.,
buckwheat bran at 81 per cwt., or oats at
fifty cents a bushel, in either case to mix
with corn." Either kind of food will make
an excellent accompaniment Of corn meal,
and the difference between their respective
values, by weight, is not very great. Oat
meal will be the best, but the dearest, rea-
tive values considered. The nutritive val
ue of the two kinds of bran is very nearly
in accordance with their respective prices.
A good many farmers place higher value
upon buckwheat bran than the above remark
accords to it, but it has not proved, either in
my experience or observation, to be equal to
wheat bran. Buckwheat bran varies great
ly in quality. That which is made up
chiefly Of the capsules or shells of the grain
is of little value. The shells are about like
chips in porridge. They serve on.
ly to fill up space, and are, moreover, a very
harsh substance for the lining membrane of
the almentary canal, often scratching it so
much as to produce serious irritation. In
their natural condition they are indigestibe
and useless, and pass the animal in the same
condition in which they were taken. If
scalded they are readily dissolved and d..
gested. When the hulls are silted out,
buckwheat bran is considered more valuable
than the bran Of wheat, but owing to differ.
ence in grinding, it has not the uniform val.
ue OF wheat bran.-PrOf L. B. ArnOld.

The WEALTH OF BRAZIL.-All intelligent
travellers who have visited Brazil, speak in
the most glowing terms of the country. Pro-
tessor Agassiz regarded it as the most pro-
ductive and interesting country on the globe,
and the one in which it is the easiest to OBJ
tain livelihood. Some who have sailed
upon the Amazon declare that a vessel can
beioaded with Brazil nuts at an expense of
only few cents per bushel. These consti-
tute valuable article of commerce, while
the oil extracted from them is very desirable.
All the tropical fruits are produced in Brazil
almost without cultivation The soil in
many parts of the country will produce
twenty successive crops of cotton, tobacco or
sugarcane, without the application of manure.
No country in the world approaches the land
of Dom Pedro in the variety of its forest
productions. Professor Agassiz states that
he saw one hundred and seventeen different
kinds Of valuable woods that were cut from
piece Of land not half a mile square. They
represented almost every variety of color,
and many Of them we're capable of receiving
high polish. One tree furnishes wax that
is used for candles; another pith that is
used for food and still another yields a
juice which is used in place of intoxicating
liquor. There is IA single variety of palm
from which the natives obtain food, drink,
clothing, bedding, cOrdage, fishing tackle,
medicine, aud the material they manufacture
into dwellings, weapons, harpoons and musi-
cal instruments. Doubtless the day is not
far distant when the valuable woods of Bra
zil will be used for various useful and orna-
mental purposes.

The King and the Farmer.

King Frederick of Prussia when he was
out riding one day, saw an old farmer, who
was plowiug field and singing cheerfully
over his work.
"You must be well off, old man, cried the
king. "Does this acre belong to you on
which you SO industriously abor?"
"No, SIR" replied the old man, who, Of
course, had no idea he was speaking to the
king; al am not so rich as that. | plow
for wages"
"How much do you earn day." asked
the king.
Eight groschcn, returned the man. That
would be about twenty cents of our money.
THAT is very littlc," said the king. "Can
you get along with it,"
"Get along yes, indeed, and have some.
thing left"
"flow do you manage ?"
"Well, said tho farmer, smiling, IL will
tell you. Two groschen are for myself and
my wife with two | pay my old debts, two
lend, and two | give away for the Lords
sake"
THAT is a mystery which l cannot solve" A"
said the king.
"Then must solve It for you" replied
the farmer. l have two old parents at home
who kept me aud cared for me when | was
young and weak and needed care Now
that they are old aud weak, | am glad to
keep and care for them. That is m debt,
and it costs me two goschen day to pay
it. Two more l spend on my children 5
schooling. If they are living when their
mother aud | are old, they will keep US aud
pay back what | lend. Then with my last
two groschens | support my two sick sisters,
who cannot work for themselves. OF course
am not compelled to give them the money
but do it for the Lords sake"
"Well done, old man." cried the king as
he finished. "Now, | am going to give you
something to guess. Have you ever seen
me before ?"
"ln less than five minutes you shall see
me fifty times, and carry in your pocket fifty
OF my likenesses."
THAT is indeed 4 riddle which cannot
guess" said the farmer.
"Then will solve il for you," returned
the king and with that he put his hand
into his pocket, and pulling out fifty gold
pieces, placed them in the hand of the far
mer.
The coin is genuine" said the king, "lor
1t also comes from our Lord God, and am
his paymaster. bid you good-by."
And he rode off, leaving the good old man
overwhelmed with surprise and delight.

Farm Work In April.

With April, farm work, nearly everywhere,
begins in earnest. In some of the Middle
and Western states, much of the spring
work is done, and corn and root planting
only remains. But in the more northern
states, summer follows winter without a
spring, with rush, and the farmer who is
not well prepared, finds his work "all of
heap" and pushing him, instead of his
pushing the work. To hurry over work
is to throw away labor. No hurry
is needed, when work is well laid out,
and every job is foreseen and planned for.
More thought must 90 into our work. AL
though the times are mcnding, and farmers
have felt but little of the general distress
that business men have experienced, yet we
may confess that times are still hard Prices
are low and profits are small. Hard times
quicken invention and when men arc press
ed, their intelects are wonderfully frightened
Most OF tho great inventions that have rev.
olutionized labor, have been forced into
men's minds by pressure OF unfavorable cir
cumstanccs. The alternative has frequently
been "a new and cheap method or ruin"
Just now We seem to be on the eve Of some
needed discovery for cheapening farm labor
or making it more effective. The whole
world is striving against US, and so far we
have beaten it. But now other nations are
using our tools, implements or methods, and
all that is left to us is cheap land and an in
domitable energy that never gives in. We
shall still maintain our position. When the
time was ripe for some great innovation, it
has always come; the mother necessity"
never yet failed to find the child "inventon."
No great staple can long be produced at
loss, OR even at less than living profit, and
now that we see c!3arly the dawning of
promising day in business, there is certain
ty that the farmers labor will be as we'll
recompenscd as it deserves. But we shall
have to work for it, not SO much with our
hands as with our brains.-American Agri-
cutturiSt.

FARM CHIPS.

Last year 100000 bushels of apples were
exported from the United States, and more
than 100000 pounds of dried apples.
Carboic acid is serviceable in destroying
weeds, especially by the side of concrete,
brick and garden paths. ..
A million acres in the valley of the Po
are irrigated increasing the rental $4,000
600 per year.
"Sam Jones" owns the largest farm in
England, which contains 5000 acres of TIL
lage land.
If salt and lime are mixed, it should be
done under cover, some weeks before used
as fertilizer.
Seven cattle of the Rose of Sharon breed
arrived in New York recently from Kentucky
for shipment to England. They are valued
at $4,000 each, and were purchased by A.
+. Fox.
Keep some accounts Of work what is re-
ceived, what is paid out, what things cost,
what is sold, what is bought. They
need not be in double entry; but in somo
simple, intelligent way know how you stand
at the end of every week or month. Carry
a memorandum book aud pencil in the pook-
ct; it will be handy, and will save you
many cents and dollars before the end of tho
year.
There are 3019 veterinary surgeons in
France, exclusive of those belonging to the
army, and the government pays out
100000 francs annually for the
support Of its veterinary schools. North
Carolina's cotton crop last year was 250, 900
bales, worth S13,000,000. This is small
portion Of the states possible capacity, and
the legislature is considering the founding of
agricultural colleges and draining Great and
Little Dismal Swamps, which would give
some 100000 acres of cotton land equal
to the most fertile in Louisiana.
The recent victory of American farming
implements in Russia was most complete
When the Russian centennial commissioner
returned from PhiladelphiaIand told what he
had seen, the English dealers became alarmed
and began an attack upon American imple-
ments, especially ploughs declaring that the
high tariff was the only thing that prevented
English ploughs being used exclusively in
America. They were accordingly chal-
lenged to trial and the day and place were
appointed, but the Englishmen went out
day in advance and pIoughed up piece of
soft land, leaving for the Americans only an
uneven piece of land covered with shrubs.
The American ploughs, however, cut through
the roots withe greatest ease, and the spec
tators decided the victory for them to be
complete.

Agricultural Books.

In answer to person who inquirs for in.
struction in cheese making, the Emira
lIusbandman says:
"Books upon agricultural subjects are use.
fu as a means of increasing our knowledge,
but they cannot take the place of practical
experience-they can only supplement it.
Many men, after reading agricultural books
and papers for long time, have become
good farmers theoretically, but when they
have engaged in practical agriculture they
have found that they had not learned all

iness. As well put histories and works of
rare literary merit designed for the student,
into the hands Of children before they have
learned the rudiments Of education, as to
expect to make farmers, cheese makers or
butter makers by book instruction alone.
A person might by experimenting, together
with his book instructions, attain useful
knowledge Of cheese making, but the safest
and most satisfactory way of learning the
trade is to serve an apprenticeship of full
season under some competent manufacturer.
We have too many poor cheese makers and
too few good ones. If some practical sys.
tenn of examination by competent commit
tee could be devised which could issue GER
ti6cates of different grades to cheese makers
according to their proficiency, and refuse
to lceuse the ignorant bunglers, the vast
waste in this department Of dairy husbandry
might be avoided or at least greatly lessened
We do not realize how much our dairy in-
terests suffer from intrustng the manufacture
of cheese and butter to incompetent and un-
skilled persons. Stone masons, carpenters
shoe makers, blacksmiths, etc., etc., have TO
serve an apprenticeship before they are rec.
ognized as qualified mechanics. How many
Of the trades need as great intelligence aud
have more reason to require Il previous fit
ting than the handling of milk in the manu-
lacture Of cheese and butter ?"

Eggs and Ways of Using Them.

In spring time, if ever, eggs may be freely
eateu, for now they are abundant, cheap,
and Of good quality Fortunate for the
farmers family is the change which often
takes place in early spring from the steady
use Of salt pork, to dish composed largely
Of eggs DR.. Edward Smith says at would
not be possible to exaggerate the value Of
eggs as an article of food whether from
their universal use, or the convenient form
in which the food is preserved, presented,
and cooked, and the nutriment which they
contain" Again he says, "there is no egg
Of bird known which is not good for food
or which could not be eaten by hungry
man." There is in the egg of every species
division into white and yolk. The white
of egg consists OF nearly pure albumen and
water the yolk, of albumen, oils, sulphur,
and water. Abumen is considered the
most important single element Of food. 1t
IL found in all compound animal structures,
and IN the vegetable productions most vau-
able as food, though in modified form.
| There is great difference in the value Of
different eggs, as there is in their size and
flavor. Well-ied domestic fowls yield far
richer food in their eggs than common wild
fowls. Many suppose that raw eggs are
more easily digested than those that are
cooked, but for most persons this is not the
case, if the eggs are not cooked improperly.
| DR.. Smith thinks it is a mistake to give a
mixture Of raw egg and new milk to inva-
| lids, such mixture tending more to hinder
than to promote digestion. Dyspeptics often
think that they cannot eat eggs at all, and
! it is the case that delicate stomachs do some-
times suffer greatly from eating any but the
freshest Of eggs. When we can not be sure
of the age of the eggs provided, it is always
most safe to break thom before cooking.
For invalids the very safest way is to drop
the egg from the shell without disarranging
its form, into water boiling in shallow dish
A few minutes boiling is sufficient, and no
dressing is really necessary except trihe
Of salt for those who eat everything salted,
though Of course good butter aud pepper
may be added, or the egg may be carefully
laid upon slice of toast. For family Of
children it is often more convenient in all
respects to serve eggs in scrambled form or
in omeettes, than cooked separately. Some
children are notional, and will not cat the
white Of the egg others think they dislike
the yolk, but when they are both cooked to-
gother, they think nothing about it, but eat
with pleasure all they eau get In most rec
ipe books the directions for scrambling eggs
advise "good piece Of butter" with which
to cook the eggs, seasoning them with salt
and pepper and with chopped parsley if you
choose and eau. But if for any other reason
you prefer it, you can use milk instead of
butter and for children this is best. The
proportions used for an omelette are very
good, "a cup of milk for six eggs" This
increases the quantity. The eggs are broken
but not beaten, aud are stirred simply to
mix we'll aud prevent burning while cooking.

The Worcester county cheese factory iu
Warren, which is owned by farmers living in
Warren and Brimfeld, is operated in con-
nection with the Warren milk car,
all the milk from its tributary farms
being sent to Boston during the
winter, while in summer the amount
made up at the factory is governed wholly by
the state Of the Boston market. Orders for
the shipment of milk are received daily by
telegraph, and if there is scarcity at the
Hub, not unfrequently all the milk received
at the factory is sent down, while if there is
an over supply the surplus milk is sent up
from the car to be made into cheese The
factory ran last year from May l till Sep
tember, when all the milk was called for at
Boston. During this time 70l ,lS9 pounds
Of milk were received and SO AGA pounds Of
cheese, 1000 pounds of milk being required
to make pound Of cheese. The cost of
making, boxing aud selling, including inter-
est on S5200, was II cents cents a pound,
making the net returns TO the farmers So
O9l36 per pound against S0,l0355 in 1875.
The Increased cost Of making per pound
causes a portion Of the difference, as the US
ual complement of help had to bo paid

shipped to Boston, The officers of the com
