USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

The quality of the manure of ami
mails always depends on the quality Of
their food.
THERE is no animal that will better
repay the cost of good extra keep than
a dairy cow in full milk.
GEMs.-One pint milk, two eggs, one
pinch salt; flour enough to make . good
batter; bake in little pans in hot oven.
A CHARACTERISTIC of good farming
is that everything shall be in its place,
and that place for everything be pro-
vided.

half-cup butter, three cups flour, one
spoonful soda; steam two hours; cream
and sugar for sauce.

you can work we'll. It is easier and
far more profitable to reap sixty bushels
from one acre than fifty from two.
Manure and proper cultivation will en-
abe you to do it.
TO PROTECT STEELWARE FROM RUST.
If all steel or tinware is well rubbed
with lard and then with common un-
slaked lime before being put away, it
will never rust. This is also the best
plan to remove rust.
DO NOT work butter too much nor
too fast. Work slowly, and until all
the salt is thoroughly and evenly alb
sorbed, otherwise the butter will not
be of uniform color. Working it too
fast will destroy the grain.
ALL the harvesting implements and
machines should be cleaned and oiled
both woodwork and iron-and stored
in dry, covered place. To remove
rust use crude petroleum.; then brush
over with linseed oil. Petroleum is q
good preserver of wood.
Now THAT colors are so largely used
in stockings, and SO many are ruined in
the laundry, a good plan in washing
them is to roll them after being rinsed
into piece of white linen and squeeze
it to remove all the moisture possible,
then dry, and the stockings will look
new again. 1t is also a good plan to
put a small spoonful of spirits of salts
into the water in which stockings are
washed in order to keep in the colors.

Dlph iberia and Its Treatment.

DIPHTHERIA is disease which springs
from the growth of a real fungus on
some of the mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn, more generally of the throat. 1t
may be spread by contact of the mu-
cous surfaces of diseased with those
of a healthy person. as in kissing, and
is to limited degree epidemic. From
the local parts affected it spreads to
the whole body, affecting the muscular
and nervous systems, vitiating the
lymph and nutrient fluids, and produc-
ing paralysis. As soon as the bacte-
rum or fungus appears in white
patches on the throat, it should no more
be neglected than bleeding cash or q
broken arm, and there is almost as lit
tie need of fatal termination of one
incident as of the other. 1t has been
found by actual experiment, both in
and out of the human system, that this
bacterfum is killed by several drugs,
the safest and most certain of which is
chlorine water, diluted with the addi-
ton of from two to four times the vol
ume of water. This wash is harmless,
even when swallowed, and is pretty
certain to arrest the disease. The great
cyclopedia of Ziemessen on the prac-
tice of medicine gives the highest place
to this method of treatment. To
keep the patient we'll housed and
warm, with additional flannel cloth
ing if necessary, and to keep the system
well nourished and the bowels open
are matters of nursing often neglected,
but, with care in these respects and
early application Of the remedies above
suggested, there is no need of the dis
ease proceeding to fatal termination,
or even to the facilitating illness and
painful authorizations which 90 to-
gether in its later stages. As to the
origin of diphtheria, the weight of tes-
timony is that it belongs to the class of
filth diseases, but further than that its
source is not clear. Families which
would be scandalized at the suggestion
of untidiness are attacked, while others
of filthy surroundings escape. This
simply shows that our sense Of cleanli-
ness needs cultivation, SO that we
may discriminate between what is
offensive to the system and what
offensive to our falsely-educated
tastes. The farmers wife, to
whom the closed and carefully-dusted
parlor, or the preternaturally scrubbed
floor are the essentials of neatness,
may endure the proximity of u sour
swamp or of the kitchen cesspool for
years without taking offense. To many

Lighting Of the London Times Com.
posing Rooms by Electric Light.

The state Of expectation in which
the public mind allows itself to be
held with reference to. the so-called
" divisibility" Of tie electric light by
Mr.. Edison is somewhat surprising,
seeing that all the. time this divisibiG-
ty is a fat. acconpli in England, and
may be witnessed and tested any night
of the week at the Times printing Of
flee. Armed with an order for this pur
pose, went there the other evening,
and this is what saw: From gaslight
we merged suddenly into what seemed
a flood of daylight, which came from
six small lamps placed at intervals
round a large room, in which com posi-
tors and others were busy at work.
These lamps were suspended SO as to
be raised and lowered at will. In COM
pliance with the wish of one of the gen.
tlemen present, one of these lights,
selected 1t haphazafd, was turned out
by means of q tap, and it remained
out without the slightest perceptible
increase in the volume Of light in the
other lamps.f Then another light at q
distance was treated in a similar man
ner and with q like result. These two
were then relit by turn of the tap the
reverse way and turned on full power,
Then one was slightly I" lowered so
as to give about a third of its full
light, as with ordinary gas. In short,
we found there useful and agreeable
light, which can be. moderated and ar
ranged to suit all circumstances. This
is the Kapieff light. l am no cleo
trician, and shall not attempt to give
a technical description Of the appara-
tus employed, but it seemed to pos
sess great simplicity. NJ. Rapieff says
he can burn ten lights in one circuit;
that his cartoons will burn for ten
hours; that they can be easily renewed,
and without extinguishing lights. He
further estimates It's comparative cost
with gas at less than, . third, His
statements may be taken for what they
are worth; but, judging from what I
actually saw in the Times Office, Ishould
say the sooner gas shareholders begin
to 'hedge". by investing in electric
light shares the better. -L0ndon World.

kept at q temperature of 100 deg; and
it must be plain that if the temperature
of the air in which the animal lives is
about Is deg, it will take only half as
much food as if the temperature is 80
deg, or one-third as much food as
when the temperature is 5 deg. below
zero. This 10 the case when the air is
still, and not disturbed by violent winds
which aggravate the cold, while rain
or snow-storm still further increases its
intensity. A rain saturating the skin,
accompanied by cold wind, is much
worse than lower temperature with
out moisture or wind. In q cold,
stormy season, exposure to the open
air carries off the animal heat SO rap
idly, that it requires all the food the
animal can eat to supply heat and
waste, and no progress is made. Here
the food is quite thrown away, and the
animal takes on an urthrifty condition,
out of which it requires time and good
feeding to start it. This is one of the
chief sources of waste in cattle feeding
exposing them in the cold season
without shelter. This shelter is most
important element in the profits of cat
tie feeding, not only in the East but in
the West-everywhere where frost is
found.
Cattle are seldom exposed to the
open air in the Eastern or Middle
States through the winter; shelter of
some kind is provided, although it Is
frequently very defective. But in the
great embarrassing region of the West
shelter is the exception. If these
Western cattle feeders would study the
cost of keeping the temperature of the
animal body at 100 deg. through Sc
we're winter, when exposed to the in
tense cold, with storms of wind, rain
and snow, they would never again sub
ject their cattle to such exposure. We
write thus earnestly that we may in
duce many to provide the needed shell
ter before the commencement of an
other winter. The cost of sheds for
partial protection from storms and the
winds which prevail is but trifling COM
pared with the saving in food effected
and the comfort afforded to the cattle.
A shelter for hundred head of cattle
may be made in week by two men,
by setting poles in the ground with
smaller poles as a framework for the
roof, to be matched with straw or corn
stalks. The side toward the wind may
also be made very warm by firmly
weaving in bundles of cornstalks.
These sheds may be made temporarily
even warmer than a common board
shed, and may be renewed every year
till the farmer feels able to build some
thing more permanent.
We hope every cattle feeder will
study his own interest and the comfort
of his cattle by providing warm shelter
before the coming winter where it has
hitherto been neglected. - National

Food and Shelter.

THE masters eye'' is said to do
+" more work than both his hands;'
but if the watchful eye of the master is
80 important in the direction of labor,
which, is but temporary, and to be
repeated, how much more important is
it that the cattle feeder, who has his
capital invested in his business, and
whose work is done, not for the day,
but for the life of the animal, should
carefully study everything that relates
to the economy. Of successfully growing
his animals for market. Every animal
raised is the representative of food ex-
pended by the owner. The quantity of
this food which the animal represents
depends almost entirely upon the
knowledge and skill of the feeder. One
steer, weighing $500 pounds, may, and
often does, represent double the food of
another animal of the same weight, and
perhaps. more value. II the feeder
would study the cause of this differ
ence in the sort of food to grow and
fatten the two animals, he would find
the secret of success or failure in cattle
feeding. He would find many things
to note in both cases. The one animal
would be found year to eighteen
months younger than the other. Here,
then, is the saving of the food for o
year to a year and half, and at time
when the animal consumes the most
food. When we understand how the
food consumed by the young animal in
two and half years could produce the
same growth and weight as required
four years in the old animal, we shall
then begin to comprehend the philos-
ophy Of animal growth. Economy in
the use of food created all the differ
ence in the result between the two ami
mails.
There are many points of economy
in feeding cattle, but we cannot con-
slider them all here. Time is an i'm
portant element. The waste of the
living machine is great, and the cost of
supplying this waste must be infinitely
calculated. Under ordinary circum-
stances it is estimated that it requires
from one-half to two-thirds of the food
eaten by cattle to supply the natural
waste. This proportion of the food is
expended in keeping up the animal
heat, and in renewing the tissues of the
body, which are constantly undergoing
change, The heat of the body must be
