some delicate slices from the breast and

COOKING FooD FOR SToCK.-It is
claimed that by steaming or cooking
food for stock it is more nOurishing, and
that a less quantity is required to pro-
duce the same results as that not
cooked. This is undoubtedly true, but
the expense counteracts, in a great mea-
sore, the economy, and the cost of the
apparatus to do it precludes its use, UNI
less there is a large amount of stock to
be fed. The same purpose can be ef-
tected il the grain is matted the same as
barley is in the making of beer. If hay
be moistened with water ana left in a
pile till it heats and commences to fer
ment, it will answer the same purpose
as cooking it. This converts a portion
of the indigestible substances into diges-
tible ones, which is what cooking the
food does. This is more easily done
than cooking the food, and saves the
costly apparatus. A large box to hold
the hay that it may be somewhat COM
pressed, is all that is required, and If
grain and pulped roots are mixed with
it and all fermented together, the whole
makes a food superior to that fed raw,
while the mixture is better than any OF
the ingredients alone. There is but lit
tie saved on labor, but the savings on
fuel and on the cost of the apparatus
are items to be considered; and, more
over, matted grain is better than ground
grain to feed.

Moth RenedieS.-rT the question put
a short time since Dy a committee of the
German Society of Railway Companies,
what means were in use, and had been
well tested, for preserving the cushions
in railway carriages against moths,
forty-three replies have been received
by the directors of the Dutch Railway,
from which it appears that the follow
ing means are employed: Constant
cleaning, airing, and beating of the
cushioned carriages especially in the
developing time of moths in the end of
May, avoidance of fold in the cloth
used, avoidance of a mixture of horse
hair with pigs hair, Persian insect
powder, insect powder with Spanish
pepper or phenyl, camphor, Russian
leather, powdered alum, hemp leaves,
phenol, pine oil, zinc chloride solution,
heating of the cushions in dry air from
20 deg. to 80 deg. c., use of plush in
stead of wooden cloth, use of seaweed
instead of horsehair, avoidance Of
sleeps wool, occasional use of general
compartments as smoking compart-
ments. The directors express them
selves to the following effect: A gen.
orally approved means of keeping
moths away from the cushions of pas
senger carriages has not yet been dis.
covered. Frequent airing, beating, and
cleaning are useful in this direction as
also, in greater or less degree, a number
of the above mentioned substances when
applied to the cushion material, After
entrance of moths a thorough cleaning
of the material is necessary.
