Rev. Francois Xavier Quay, priest
Of St. Joseph's Church, Marksyille,
La, has been expelled from that com
munity by the outraged sentiment of
the people, expressed through some
of the best citizens and leauing Cath

an unnatural and beStial crime, which,
We eau not pollute our columns by
naming. The guilty creature con-
tessed his degradation by complying
with the sentence of Punishment with
out protest. The Marksville papers
describe hin, as "a large man, weigh

A Reasoning Sheep,

The Groton IN. " Journal re
lates the following story, which
certainly goes far to prove that s
sheep can do some close thinking
"a. H. Clark has a sheep which
during the summer, was pastured
with some calves in an apple or
chard adjoining the house. There
were several trees in the orchard
well loaded with early fruit. the
trees being about SIX inches in di-
ameter. One evening Mr.. Clark
heard considerable noise in the or
chard. and, upon investigation.
found the sheep and calves quietly
eating apples under one of the
trees. In few minute all the ap
plies were eaten, when, to his sur
prise, he saw the sheep back of
several Yards and then butt the tree
with full force, bringing down a
quantity of fruit. This the animals
proceeded to eat as before, and
when the supply gave out the sheep
replenished it as before. This was
continued a, intervals. So persist;
ent was the sheep in his novel
mode of tree-shaking that MIR.
Clark was obliged to protect the
trees, lest the continual bruising of
the bark should cause permanent
Injury"

How to Cure Meat.

AS you request those who know
how to keep their meat from spoil
ing when killed in warm weather,
to inform others, 1 thought our
method might benefit some. II is
so simple that p it hardly seems
worth while to write, though every
one does. not know that the secret
lies in getting the animal heat out
thoroughly before q particle of salt
is applied. We butcher one day,
and if the weather is warm take out
the back bone TO make sure of
thorough cooling, and let lie out of
doors, in wagons or other safe
places, until next morning, when
it Is cut up and packed down In
salt. Cover every part with a
heavy layer, punch salt in the hook
ends, and do not be afraid of the
salt. while you're sailing use a
plenty II the weather continues
warm, take il all up again in two or
three days and relay it. In six
weeks 1t wifi be ready TO hang
though it is well enough to tell you
We always try a ham TO see if it has
taken salt before we hang the meat.
We keep good smoke for three
weeks, and take down and wrap
each piece in newspapers, and put 1t
down in plenty OF dry wood ashes.
We never have any shippers if the
meat is put away before the bugs
or flies come, apd never lost piece
in our lives from sOuring; and al
ways kill between the middle and
last of November.

What There is in Wheat,

The wheat grain is fruit con.
sistiDg of a SEED and is coverings
All the middle part of the grain is
occupied by large, thin cells, full o.
a powdery substance, which con
tains all the starch of the wheat
Outside the central starchy mass is
yellCw wish material, very rich in
heterogeneous, that is, fesh-formiug
matter, both potash and phi os.
pilates. The outermost is of but
little value. The mill products Of
the seed are peculiarly rich in nu
triment, and fine flour is robbed OF
a large percentage of valuable and
nutritious food. Middlings not
only contain more fbrous and min
eral matter than the fine flour, but
also more fat The fibrous matter,
or outer coat. which is indigestible,
forms one sixth of the bran, but
not one hundredth of the fine -four.
Wheat contains the greatest guam
tity of gluten and the smallest of
starch; rye a medium proportion
of both, while in barley, oats and
corn the largest proportion of
starch and the smallest of gluten
are to be found. In practice 100
pounds of -four will make from
1873 to 1877 pounds of bread, good
average being 1876 pounds; hence
barrel of I96 pounds should yield
266 one pound loaves.

Farm and Home.
AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Corn for Horses,

Is it or is it not economy to feed
horses corn In the ear? We have
practiced it for number of years,
believing that the portion which
was not masticated, and so passed
out of the horses without being di-
gested, was-not equal to the miller's
toll. The toll was every tenth,
and this, with the waste and time
spent in going to mill, will make it
fully equal to every eighth. An
other thing farmers do not think
enough about Suppose every tenth
is not masticated and assimilated
by the horse, it is kept on the farm,
whereas, if it is left at tue mill, the
farm is so much depleted of plant
food. We throw the whole ears
into the manager, and let the work
horses bite the grains off as they
like. As soon as horses get used
to eating corn there is no danger. of
its producing any collie or other de-
raDgement OF the bowels, but care
should be taken not to begin too
too strong at first. Three or four
ears of flint corn are all a horse
should have to begin diet of this
food. The southern and western
corn is lighter, and not SO apt to
produce colo. In the south, corn
is almost always fed in the ear, and
so it is in the west, when fed at all.
Corn is excellent feed for horses to
work on, but not so good for fast
driving They ale more quiet and
tractable on corn than with any
other grain, and will do more hard
pulling and drudgerY with less loss
in condition, Oats make q horse
sprightly and active, and hence
should be fed sparingly to a colt.
Oats have helped to make a great
many balky, spawned and runaway
horses. Corn makes them dull and
slow, but strong. Corn is the best
for colts while being broken. 1t
may be made lighter and not SO
heating by having wheat bran mix
ed with it'll Rural New Yorker. -
