In these house cleaning times, when
man returns home very late from 'meet-
ing" nothing will sooner arouse his guilty
conscience to keen appreciation of the
his boots on the uncarpeted stairs, and
as they strike each succeeding stair in
their downward flight, the hollow echoes
reverberate through the chambers of his
terror-stricken soul like the rumbling of
distant thunder on a summer night.

The ingrattude of the Ohio Democrats

Physiological Action Of Coca.

The physiological action of the
leaves OF coca or cuca (Erythronylon
cocd), a plant indigenous to Peru, has
been the subject of much discussion
lately in England, Sis Robert Christi
son, whose reference to the peculiar
properties Of this plant, in his address
to the Edinburgh Botanical Society
last November, gave rise to the discuss
ION. has since taken up the subject
again, in paper read before the same
society. The author gives an account
OF experiments made by himself and by
fourteen other observers, under his in
structions, with view to determine the
physiological action of coca and it's
principle, cocaine. His conclusions are
that l. When taken in quantities of
two drachms by healthy persons it has
no unpleasant, injurious, or suspicious
effect whatever; 2. In a very few cases
this dose of an inferior sample had no
effect at all; 3. In by far the greater
number OF instances, and with fine
sample, extreme fatigue was removed
and prevented from returning; 4. 1t
does not in the end impair the appetite
or digestion, although hunger, even
after long fasting, is taken away for an
hour or two; s. The use of it i is incom-
patible with the use of alcoholic liquors
except when the latter are taken in
very small quantities. -Popular Science

Feed the Calves Better,

The crop of corn is immense, and of
the best quality. What will you do
with it? We would suggest that good
ly portion of it be fed to calves and
young stock, class which have been
too much neglected heretofore 1t is
time for Iowa to cease sending runts
dwarfs and scrubs to market. 1t is
also time to quit eating poor beef at
home, 1t is charged that a certain class
OF our population onl y eat such things
as they cannot SELL This is lamentably
true Of our beef. Our butchers tell us
they cannot afford to buy good beeves
for our home market, so the Iowa
butchers buy old cows scrub or deform-
ed steers, &c, which will not pay to
send to the Eastern markets. We pro-
pose to cease raising poor beeves. But
to do this more attention must be paid
to the calves. And now is the time to
begin. Corn Is plenty and cheap, and
beef OF very fair price, and is likely to
be, especially of the superior quality
1T the calves get poor this fall and win
ter, they will never entirely recover
from it. And calf which gets poor
during the first winter will never make
beef whose flesh will be as tender and
juicy as one which was kept thrifty
But this is not all. it will be small
when it goes to market at the end of
three years, and will command only
scrub prices Ten bushels of corn meal
fed to a calf, In addition TO its ordinary
rations, will make. return of fifty cents
per bushel While the corn which is
fed to a steer when starving him thro
the two first years of his life, will not
net the owner twenty cents per bushel.
The best way to sell corn is to drive it
to market in the shape of good fat
steers. And the time to commence is
early in the fall with the calves. Have
no more little pot-bellicd' calves in the
spring of the year which will take half
the summer to recover from the stint
and starving during the winter Barley,
too, is better for calves than for beer
Never sell oats at II cents when they
can be so easily converted into bones
and muscles of calves. 1t is too late to
talk about turnips and rutabagas for
calves, but corn, oats and barley are
plenty and cheap, and we hope they will
be so used that the beeves two and three
years hence will be OF rar superior
type Of any Iowa has heretofore taken
to market. The best class of becves
only pay, and the only way to have them
right is to begin with the calves. There
is goodly number of them in the State
the food for them is plenty-and
when perfect in form and flesh the
world demands them at highly remuner-
ative prices. -State Register.

Fall Cattle Feeding.

Extra fall feeding should be begun
when grass begins to grow short, to be
increased as the grass diminishes in
quantity and quality. Where this system
OF feeding is practiced, cows will keep
up for several weeks their flow of milk
till Januray or later, giving a handsome
profit in milk and butter. The farmer
who does not avail himself of the ad-
vantage Of extra fall feeding, finds his
COWS diminishing with decrease of pas
ture, and shrink largely with the first
cutting frost, gradually shrinking till
they dry off in December, or earlier.
A good heavy frost generally uses up
grass and forage, so that there is very
little nutriment left in it; and although
cattle may apparently fill themselves
Qook plump and fully, nevertheless they
actually shrink in flesh, for enough nu-
triment to sustain the system cannot
be consumed. 1t Is unwise for any
farmer to cause his stock to depend al
most entirely upon such grazing, giving
them perhaps an occasional feed of some
poorer quality of roots. Regularity in
extra feeding should be the rule.
Many farmers have large quantities
OF apples, which they are at loss what
to do with, or perhaps they have roots,
cabbages, &c, all which can be safely fed
to mich cows and other stock, if their
allowance Of salt is increased. Let no
farmer think that because this can be
done advantageously, that it may be in
discriminatory or injudiciously done.
An excess of full quantity given at once
tn IL
animal as on the human system. The
way to do is to begin with a small guam
tity, and gradually increase from day to
day till you feed the animals all they
will eat.
In the fall, then, the prudent farmer
will improve his time and all his advan-
tages; but he should not wait, but begin
with summer and spring He should have
his work beforehand; pumpkins and
roots must be started in spring, or at
their appropriate season The man
with single COW often understands and
practices something of this, and thereby
obtains correspondingly profitable re-
turns. What this man does with his
one COW, the other man with his herd
may do proportionally in similar man
ner Not only is there profit in thus
feeding cows, but similar profit is gain
ed by feeding all other farm stock cor
respondingly well. Good stock in the
fall is a first requisite; the keeping it
good is the second; the regular attend
ance is the main thing. Any irregular
lty in attendance is sure to crop out
and tell the tale If our stock pass the
transition Of spring and fall, there is
usually no trouble to be apprehended
during other seasons; therefore it is
wise to see to it, and provide for these
critical seasons W II, White, forces

4 Model Farm.

Why should farming not be scientific?
Because the manufacturer labors in a
scientific way, his profits are greater
and surer than that of the agriculturist
who has neither machinery nor system;
but it is the unreasonable custom of
many to sheer at all methodic variations
upon old usages as the fanciful and un-
profitable schemes of Missionaries with
more money than common sense. 1t is
the people who sheer that are usually
most deficient in the latter quality,
however; and had they little more of
it they might perceive that careful
book keeping and the adoption of i'm
proved methods and implements are as
necessary in farming as in any other
business.
In a side hollow of that hill from
which LitchGeld first became visible to
us, several very distinct echoes can be
obtained, and this responsiveness of the
purple glens gave name to this farm.
1t is Echo Farm-a pretty and poetical-
" suggestive name, indeed, which con-
iurcs up visions of loveliness, and sets
one to dreaming of INTERVIEWING vines
knitting their plant tendrils and sweet
scented leaves through the hospital
porch and open lattice; the checkered
orchard Of fruity abundance; the garru-
lpls bgopk that never tires OF its own
monody; the reyerborant hills that ap-
pcase life's turmoil with their easy un-
dulations; lofty barns messy with age;
and gathering mills down in the seclu-
sion Of grassy hollows. But, alas! dear
reader, model farming is not idylic or
Arcadian; it is intlexibly utilitarian; it
keeps all its buildings in perfect state
of repair; it subordinates the pictur-
csquc, if it ever recognizes it; it pulls
down the old mill because that yencra-
bic is in the way of the rectangular new
dairy; it divcrts the brook from its
fcrny course into the most common
place Of carthen pipes; it tears away
the vines that obscure the light, and it
looks upon every thing with pair OF
the most practical eyes set in a head
that weighs, measures, ADULTS and ana
lyzcs with chemical exactness. The
proprietor Of Echo Farm conducts it as
a manufactory A record is kept of
the milk and butter produced by each
COW for each day, each month, each
year; all the feed is weighed, the guam
tity entered upon the books, both that
purchased and that produced; and a
separate account is kept Of the yield of
each field. Nothing is wasted, nothing
done by guessing, and nothing passes
unrecorded. The implements are of
the latest or most approved model.
Three sets of horse" hay forks arc IN
use, by which hay is unloadcd at the
rate of ton in four fork fuls and in four
minutes, including in some instances
tho carriage of the hay $50 feet. The
other machines also embody some novel
labor-saving principles. No manure or
fertilizers are found necessary, except
the 1900 loads made upon the farm, and
a sort of muck. of which there are sew
eral beds-Harpers Monthly Magazine.
The practicability of importing live
hogs from America is, the British 2raac
Journal understands, about to be tested
by parties in Liverpool, who have .pur-
chased O steamsE, and are fitting 1t up
to accommodate $500 hogs and a largo
number of cattle.
