Mr.. Hart practiced feeding the tur-
nips just before milking at night. I'm
mediateiy thereafter the last feed of the
day is given. He could not find that they
produced any bad odor in the milk, but
thought it important to commence feed
ing them gradually, and to slowly in
crease the amount to the full feed, and
also important to feed them Just before
milking.

Orchard Grass tor Moving.

The Neac England Farmer makes the
following answer to an inquiry:
Orchard grass should be sown at the
rate of two bushels of seed to the acre,
and for the past few years we have added
one bashel of June grass or Kentucky
blue grass per acre, making three bushels
in all, or forty-two pounds. If sown in
the spring, or early in the fall, we also
add six to eight pounds of red clover.
This is heavy seeding, and it would not
pay at present prices asked for the seed,
unless the land is adapted to the crop,
and is made very rich. On poor, thin,
or dry soil, such seeding would be waste
full. Two dollars worth of red top and
timothy would be a more economical
mixture. We have raised orchard grass
for more than fifteen years, and have fire.
quently spoken of it through these col
umns and always in its favor, but we
do not recommend it for general culture,
like red top and timothy. 1t is only
suited to rich, moist land, where two or
three crops may be expected each year.
| is excellence consists in its habit of
rapid growth alter each cutting. The
first crop on an old field should be in
bloom and ready to NOW as early as the
first week in June, the second
crop by the first of August, and, if
the soil if kept fertile by top
dressing, another cutting may be
made by the latter part of September.
The two latter crops will be very leafy,
scarcely a seed stalk ever being found,
except in the first crop. The hay for
mich cows is unsurpassed in excellence.
June grass has the same habit of growth,
and natures at the same season, and the
two do better, and produce more hay per
acre, together than either would alone,
Of the two, June grass appears to be a
little more hardy in unfavorable seasons
and situations. Orchard grass will not
long bear being overlooked or covered by
ice in winter, nor will it endure very
late sowing in the fall, as the plants are
a little tender when very young. Itmay
be sown early in spring, or, better, early
in autumn. We sowed field with or
chard grass, June grass and clover on the
Sd of last August, and on the oath of
September, finding it too thick and
heavy to bear the winter safely, we
moved it over, running the scythe as
high above the ground as we could con-
veniently. The cut hay was from six to
eight inches long, and looked in the
swath equal to ton per acre, but as it
was all leaves it probably looked heavier
than its actual weight. The June grass
hardly makes show yet, but will i'm
prove for the next two years.

COrn.Fed Pork.

The opinion is quite general that corn
fed pork is harder, contains more nutri-
ment, and shrinks less in the pot and in
the frying pan than pork fed on milk,
slops, or partly on flesh, as happens
where swine are kept and fed in slaughter
yards, and the food of which is more or less
otfal of slaughtered animals. Neverthe-
less the opinion is almost wholly an err
roneous one, as We shall try to show.
Granted that under a temperature so
low that lard remains firm and stiff, corn
fed pork is firmer than pork fed on milk,
slops, or flesh, but this frmness depends
on the relatively larger amount of stear-
inc than of oleine in the composition of
the fatty matter of corn-fed pork; but it
is firmness which is wholly lost at a
high temperature, like that of summer
heat, or the average of tropical weather.
Where pork is made partly on milk,
slops, flesh, and similar food, the oleine
of the fat exceeds in quantity the stea-
rine, and while the meat so made may
at ordinary temperatures appear soft and
tiabby, it really contains more nutri-
ment-that is, more albuminous matter
and will shrink less in cooking than
corn-fed pork. And here is the explana-
ton: In corn-fed pork, the cell tissues
which envelop the fatty matter are very
thin and light, and consequently tender,
and when heat is applied, either by boil
ing or frying, the cells burst, the lard
escapes, and the f1eshy portions shrink to
almost nothing. And this happens be-
cause corn is very deficient in the sub
stances which make cell tissue-that is,
in albuminous matter. On the contrary,
milk and slop are very rich in albumin
Gus matter, and flesh is almost wholly
composed of it, and consequently swine
fed and fattened on these substances
have cell tissues largely developed, and
where the lard escapes in cooking there
IS much larger portion of solid meat
left.
In the old country, where swine are
raised and fattened on peas and barley
and the like, and where such thing as
an exclusive corn diet is almost I'M
known, cooks make great account of
Harding that is, cutting the fatty
part of pork into long, narrow strips,
and sewing them into certain meats and
game birds previous to cooking for the
purpose of increasing their flavor and
juices. With the ordinary corn-fed
pork this cannot be done, and Harding F"
in the United States is much restricted
or gone out of fashion. In the case of
the foreign pork, its abundance and
strength of cell tissues make it suitable
for the operation; in the other, the
delicacy and tenderness of the same sub
stance render it quite unfit for that pur-
particular kinds of food affect adipose
and cell tissues, it may be stated that
the meat of hogs fatted on beech-nuts
and "mast generally, so far as the fat
is concerned, is semi-transparent; and a
slaughtered hog, hung by the heels, will
drip lard-oil from the snout at an ordi-
nary temperature. In candle-burning
days, the farmers and dwellers of the
Middle States learned that the tallow of
grass-fatted beeves would make candles
