Food may be conveniently divided into
three classes, viz. animal, vegetable and
auxiliary. Milk, eggs and meats belong
to the first class. Milk is the type for
the composite food, but is completely
adapted only to certain stages of animal
life. Cows milk contains about eighty
per cent OF water, and the remainder is
made up of casein, butter, milk sugar and
salts. Yet no Two COWS give exactly the
same composition, and The milk OF the
same COW varies with the food she eats.
The milk of goats and ewes is richer in
solids than COW 5 milk. Human milk is
richer in sugar and poorer in cascin than
cows milk. The large per cent Of water
in pure milk makes it unnecessary to di-
lutte it with pump water, rs many milk
dealers do.
Butter and cheese furnish the nutritvc
elements of milk, in concentrated form
GA our tables butter is associated with
substances which are deficient in fat, and
it aids in digcstng these substances. Ran
cid butter is unfit for food in any form, us
it is indigeslble. Cheese contains much
nitrogen, and when fresh is recognized as
excellent food, Eggs contain both nitro,
gen and fat, and when properly cooked

BREAD MAKING.-The following letter
from Mrs. Conrad Wilson furnishes in
struction for making the wheat and corn
bread, samples of which were recently on
exhibition at the first annual fair of the
farmers clubs, recently held in Boston:
In making wheat bread set my sponge
in the morning rs early as possible, using
half II cake of compressed yeast to about
seven pounds of flour Make II stiff
batter of about one pound of flour with
the water quite warm. When light
l mix my bread Immediately, for if left
too long the 81 onge falls and the bread is
not SO good.
Use salt to suit, and warm water to mix
with until quite stiff When the dough is
light mould it into loaves and set to rise
again in II warm place, until light, and
bake from one half to three-quarters of an
hour in good oven, as that has much to
do with having good bread.
For corn bread take one cup of wheat
flour and two cups corn meal. | use the
whites of two eggs, One-third cup either
sugar or molasses, two teaspoonfuls melt
cd lard or butter, two table spoOnfuls
cream of tartar sifted with the flour, one
teaspoonful soda, dissolved in warm wa
ter; mix with sweet milk to n stiff batter.

OUR OLD FRIEND, THE APPLE.-The
genuine apple-eatcr comforts himself with
an apple, in their season, rs others with II
pipe OF cigar. When he has nothing else
TO do. or is bored, he eas I'M apple. While
he is waiting for the train, he eats an
apple, sometimes several Of them. When
he takes u walk, be arms himself with
apples. Ills traveling-bag is full of apples:
lie offers an apple to his companion, and
takes one himself They are his chief
solace when on the road. He sows their
seed all along the route. lie losses the
core from the car window and from the
top of the stage coach. He would. in
time, make the land one vast orchard lie
dspenses with II knife. He prefers that
his teeth shall have the first taste. Then
he knows that the best flavor is immedi-
nlely beneath the skin, and that in II pared
apple his is lost. If you will stew tho
apple, he says, instead Of blking it, by all
means leave the skins on, 1t improves the
color and vastly heightens the favor Of
the dish. - American RuraL Home.

Color breeding has taken Il strong hold
on the breeders Of Jersey cattle. The
foreign demand being for solid color and
black switches, and since the object of the
breeders is to make money by their breed
ing. they cannot avoid breeding for color,
while they heartily condemn the practice,
and claim it is undoubtedly working de-
cided deterioration of the race, yet so
long as the very high priced English and
American demand for solid silycr-gray
exists, they will continue to breed them.
Hence ut the present time no breeder IN
Jersey would raise for his own use bull
which had any material amount Of WI lite
in his color. Hardly any one would send
to neighbours bull with such marking
One breeder, John Arthur, of st. Mary 5,
being determined to set his face against
the absurdity of "color breeding ventur-
ed to raise bull from II superior COW,
one of his best, with little white under
the belly, on the TANKS and legs, and II
white switch. This bull was pronounced
by all good judges to be perfect jersey
bull, yet his color disqualified him for Il
stock bull worthy of receiving patronage
from his neighbors. And Mr.. Arthur has

So long as English buyers OF Jersey
cattle will lay on their backs under jersey
cows to see that they have secreted no
white spots which might faint their pro5e-
ny, so long will jersey breeders cater TO
their demands, by breeding out tho white
in their cattle This soid-color disease
originated in England, and however fool
ISL ii may appear, it is Il fashion, and the
fact lhat fashions vary in the color OF
breeds of cattle, as we'll as in ladies
shawIs, cannot bs denied. To sUcceed in
producing any commodity for market the
producer must exhibit that which the mar
ket demands. | can remember the time
when jersey with any Lut white
switch would be considered Of doubtful
pedigree. And 50 of other breeds of cattle ;
lor short horns, roam was the most desira-
bic color, now it is red; for Ayrshires,
| light red and white prevailed, now Ii Is
dark red and white and brown and white ;
for the Devons the demand was for very
dark red, and then changed TO light rcd,
and is now going baak again to dark, but
not so dark us formerly. Thus it Is seen a
breeder, 20 be successful, must, when thc
demand requires it, change his colors ms

That the jersey, rs II breed, Is par excel

HINTS ABOUT HORSE BITS.--A writer in
u German contemporary strongly connsels
horse owners who study the health of
their cattle to banish from their harness
rooms all bits but straight ones of the
simplest possible construction. Through
a long series of years he found, from
practical experience, that powerful young
horse, frequently fell off in condition with
ont any apprecitbe cause, their food being
plentiful and of the best quality, and no
symptoms of general i'll heath being up
parent On searching carefully for the
cause of this state Of affairs, he found, in
nearly every instance, that tho horses
tongues had been more or less injured in
consequence OF the employment of curved,
ointed, hinged, or otherwise complicated
bits. The sore and tender condition of
SO scnsliJe an organ as the tongue, nee
essarily prevented the animals doing JUS
tice to their food, and short rations with
the usual amount of work, naturally led to
a loss of condition. Unfortunately the
mischief generally escapes attention until
it is tolerably far advanced.

SHARPENED Tools. The good mcchan-
ic works with well sharpened tools. If
he does not, he will not succeed. The
farmer who works with sharpGned intel
lect stands in the same relation to success
in his profession as does the mechanic who
works with sharp tools in his trade. Thus
the progressive farmer buys the best i'm
plements he can get; breeds up his stock
to the highest degree possible. and gives
them the best possible conditions and food
his means will admit He succeeds, while,
on the other hand, the farmer who does
not believe in progress, first mortgage,
his farm, and, perhaps, ut last loses it.
The reading and progressive man may in
decd mortgage his farm; he may have i'll
success for some causes beyond his control
yet he has altogether the advantage over
tie non-rcading man since he is constant
y kept posted in what is coming up new
from day to day. His intellect is more
acute, and keeping posted from week tc
week upon prices, and the various items
OF news relating to his profession, he il
enabled to take advantage Of circum
stances that the non-rcading man can no
compass. 1t pays to take II good agricul
lural paper.
