BRAN AND MEAL FEED.

The cream from the milk when the
cows were fed on peek of buckwheat
bran each was 'igl,t-colorcd and thin ;
but when they are fed four quarts OF
corn meal, the cream is thicker and morc
yellow. This means more butter. Bran
of all sorts is better for young animals.
As if makes muscle; but meal is best for
cows as il makes fat and milk is fat /:
that is, milk which viii make good but
ter. contains a large per cent. oil fat.
The bran viii make the best manure. be
cause there is more of il that goes into
the manure pile, and this furnishes the
supply Of nitrogen. The farmer then
who feeds plenty Of bran will have Il
rich manure heap. and so il is cheaper
To buy bran and feed il literally than,,io
stint ones animals and buy commercial
fertilizers. Commercial manures do
not furnish much nitrogen. This must
come largely from grain. and Ibis bran
is the nitrogenous part. and without
nitrogen there will not be perfect plant
growth. The lesson we would teach j.
TO save nil the bran for the growing an
finals and the meal for the intteping
ones and the cows. TO make them all
healthy and and TO assimilaie both bran
and meal perfectly, roots should always
be fed. This is an important part OF
the system. and helps 10 make perfect
digestion.

PREPARE SHELTER FOR STOCK.
Now. while we have this delightful
autumn weather. is the time 10 prepare
some kind of shelter for stock. All
kinds of domestic stock need il. Sheep
that have warm covering for their backs
need il rs much if not more than other
animals. They not only get drenched
by the rain, but they have To carry their
wet. heavy coats till the heat in their
systems dries them. and this is very cN-
haustivc To the vitality of the sheep.
They can stand pretty serere cold wealth
er. but wet weather is very injurious TO
them. Hogs have scarcely any thing TO
protect them from cold and need very
low sheds. so that in very cold weather
they can not pile on one another. and
suflocatc the under ones. IL they fire.
queni.y do in very severe weather.
Cattle and horses will keep in much bet
ter condition. on less food. when they
have warm stables or even sheds to pro-
tect them from the storms. The shelter
may be made of poles and covered with
straw. or corn stalks even. and il would
pay for the labor hundred fold. On
the score of humanity. as well as saving
food, we ask every farmer To provide
some sort of shelter for all his domestic
and now. while the weather is

HARDY BULBS FOR THE GAR
DEN

II is now almost time TO think abou,
what varieties of bulbs Ia plant in the
garden this fall in order 10 secure a nice
floral decoration for next summer. One
of the first and best is found among the
numerous varieties of Lilies. This class
ofplants is one of peculiar interest in
small gardens, taking up hardly any
room in growing and standing well
above the ordinary plants, such rs Ger
aniums. Coicus etc. They are very
easily cultivated and scarcely ever fail
10 give satisfaction 10 the grower. They
should lie planted rs soon i'm the fall rs
the bulbs can be procured: say from
the middle of September until as long
as the soil can be worked. but the soon
er the better. a good loamy soil en-
riched with good rotten stable manure.
j. the best adapted for them. Dig the
bed or place for planting the bulbs at
least a foot deep. being careful TO have
good soil at that depth. as they will
grow and flower much better. besides
standing the intense heat of the summer
with impunity. Plant about four inches
deep. packing the soil carefully and
firmly around the bulbs. and about the
beginning Of December mulch the bed
about three inches deep with layer Of
manure, which will both enrich the soil
and protect the bulbs from the frost.
In the spring it may be removed or dug
in, when the ground gets soft and the
danger from hard frosts is over.

SALT. SULPHUR AND CHARCOAL

SALT. SULPHUR AND CHARCOAL
The advice of Colonel +. ID. Curtis in
the following paragraph in the R"rol
New Yorker are worth needing and his
suggestions good. Simple remedies
placed within reach Of stock when well
will frequently save the loss of many Of
them from disease. To give animals
their food and medicine separate is no
doubt much better than the common
usage Of mixing them together. I'VE
have observed that when pigs have been
fed a great deal of hearty food they are
fond of salt and charcoal. Pigs are Of
ten affected with indigestion. and the
charcoal and salt are good remedies
We cannot very well mix these things
with their food in the right proportion,
and, moreover. it would not be best TO
attempt to force a pig to en-: them unless
II wanted TO, or else IFS appetite might
he destroyed and harm come from the
experiment; but by mixing the salt and
charcoal together and put in box ac-
cessible TO the pigs, they will eat no
more than they require. There is no
danger in putting either salt, charcoal
or sulphur where the pigs can get them,
but 10 mix them with their food might
injure them. especially if any of them
possess voracious appetite. Hogs will
eat considerable quantity Of sulphur
and it is exceedingly healthful 10 them
as a purifier of the blood. and 10 help
them TO get rid Of the vermin which in
tests their bodies both inside and out
We want the pigs we are going to eat to
have plenty of sulphur. at least all they
will take. their flesh makes better food. !"

LINE AS A PURIFIER.

For the cleaning of out-buiidings. and

A CHILD SWALLOWED BY A
SNAKE

A tough snake story comes from Ma
coupin county, the truth of which We
will not vOuch for, but as our informant
is book agent, and claims that he wit
messed it, it may have the same effect
upon the minds of some that the truth
could have, hence we give it
A lady named Smith, living near Car
Invite, while engaged in washing clothes
in her back yard last Monday morning,
heard several screams from her little
thrce-year-old child, which she had has
tenen to the room, and was Mortified to
see the child partially swallowed by
huge snake, only the little bare legs be-
ing visible, and the snake backing out
of the front window with all possible
haste. Mrs. Smith screamed tor help,
at the same time grabbing an AK and
rushing to the rescue. She overlook
the monster just before he reached the
timber. and dealt il q blow with the
keen blade Of the AK just a few inches
behind the cars, which disabled his
, snakeship from further locomotion.
Our informant happened topass just at
the moment, and noticing the contest
fastened TO render his assistance by
selling the AK from the mother and cut
into the body. the mother meanwhile
taking the child by the legs and trying
to pull it from IFS prison, which she fl
nally did by bracing her feet against the
snakes undcrlip and taking long,
steady pull. The rapid blows Of the
book agent laid the monster lifcless, and
the two turned their attention to the
child, who was found to be uninjured
beyond being slightly chokcd.
The snake, when measured, was found
TO be eighteen feet long and forty-four
feet in circumference. When cmt open
its body was found to contain seven iron
pots, two young calves, four lady's bas-
ties, nine guns. a scvcn-up deck Of cards,
three bushels of brass buttons. four
pigs. and a member of Congress ccrti-
ficate of election, beside a volume of
Joaquin Miller's poems and copy of

says he has seen snakes in every quar-
ter of the globe, and even in his boots,
but in size this one is the largest he has
ever encountered,

side, and all the old pictures were
collected and pasted on the four
sides to adorn it. A tiny table, a
broom and a chair, and the whole
thing was completed. Our yard
was rendezvous for the children

The woman was old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill Of the winters day
The street wss wet with recent snow,
And the woman's feet were aged and slow,
She stood az the crossing and waited long,
Alone. uncared for, amid the throns
OF human beings who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance Of her anxious eye.
Down the street with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom Of school let out,
Came the boys like flock Of sheep,
Hailiuc the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman so old and gray
Hastened the children on their way,
Nor offered a helping hand to her,
So meek, so timid, afraid to stir
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street
At last came one Of the merry troop
Tie gayest laddie OF ali the group;
He paused beside her, and whispered low
esTII help you across if you wish to sc"
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, aud so, without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong.
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and we'll content
s:She's somebody's mother, boys, you know
For all she's aged and poor aud slow;
And hope some fellow will lend hand
10 help my mother, you understand,
If ever she's poor and old and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away"
And somebody's mother bowed low he
In her home that night and the prayer sh'
said
Was, Good, be kind to the noble boy,
Who is somebody's son and pride and joy.
