One of the stro"g points in favor
the much praised ensilage is that
animals eat it with a relish. No
food, however rich it may be in food
elements, will prove profitable 1t
tie farm stock cannot take to it
kindly 1t is on this account that
a mixing of feed has been so sue
cessful. Sameness pals upou the
Appetite change OF diet encour'
ages and sharpens it. A few roots
cot, or better, pulped, and given
to the animals, will make them eat
tile corn-fodder or cut straw with
greater relish Try and make a
little change in the diet Of the ami
mails, even though it be only once
week, with some roots, potatoes,
apples, etc e, il will pay. The more
an animal eats, aud healthily d.
gests, the more profitable it is.

Fan Bark for Manure.

Spent tan bark as received from
the tanneries is valuable as fer
tilizer. and it would pay for the
trouble of drawing it some distance.
The tanning or fannie acid which
the tanner extracts from the bark
is OF no value as a fertilizer in
reality, because this is obtained
from the atmosphere; it takes moth
ing which comes from the soil, and
is of value when returned to the
soil. Leaves contain more potash
and phosphates than the limbs or
timber OF the tree. Bark contains
nearly as large quantity OF these
minerals as the leaves, weight for
weight. You will find a much
larger bulk of ashes after burning
wood. If bark from the tannery is
placed in hill and mixed with
quick lime, decomposition will be
accelerated and a pile of fertilizing
matter obtained, which would be
equal in value to many Of the
cheap commercial fertilizers sold.
Your pile made up this fall and
turned over a few times in the
spring OF the year would no doubt
make a good fertilizer.

The farmer who pastures ordl-
nary meadows in the fall, more
especially after drouth, robs his
next crop to an extent he seldom
realizes till it is TOO late. A writer
in the National Live Stock Journ al
give an instance where 70 acres
averaged. regularly, about l3O
tons of excellent hay when no pas
turing was allowed; and the owner
having a tenant who had been
rather unfortunate, allOwrd him to
pasture some 20 COWS upon the
aftermath OF these meadows for a
single fall; and the consequence
was a reduction Of the yield fIom
1870 tons down to 60 tons the next
season, and the yield was never
recovered until re-seeding. 1t was
estimated that the whole value Of
% COWS in the fall was not equal
to the injury OF the next crop on
the rs acres of meadow. This
practice of pasturing meadows is
one Of the most ruinOus Of the mis-
takes among daifymeh, and causes
them often to be so short Of hay as
to injue the yield of their herds in
the spring. Good feeding through
the winter lays the foundation for
good yield of milk the following
season, with good cows. Good
meadows are very essential to sue
cess in dairying and therefore this
question should be most carefully
considered.

Keeping Cider Sweet.

AS apples are likely TO be plenti-
jul this fall, a considerable quantity
will be made into cider, and the
inquiry is frequently made How
can 1 preserve my cider sweet ? II
the following directions are followed
cider may be preserved sweet for
an indefinite period;
First, take only well-ripened'
sound apples, and crush and ex-
tract the juice. Let the pomace lie
a few hours before pressing. Have
everything with which the pomace
or Juice comes in contact sweet and
clean. Strain the juice through a
filter as follows: On the top put a
layer Of clean straw, below fine
gravel, or coarse sand washed clean
from dirt, and beneath flannel cloth
Such a filter will take ont all par
ticles OF pomace, &c, which cause
decay. Having the apple JUICE
pure, put it in kettle and bring
it 10 boil, skimming off all scum
which rises during the process.
While the cider is still hot or warm
can or bottle it as you would fruit
TO preserve it. Bottles may be
made tight by cOrking and sealing
the same by dipping the corks in
composition of resin and tallow
melted. The main thing in the
preservation is to keep !. from the
air perfectly.
The juice Of prapes and other
fruits may be preserved in the
same way. 1t is essential in all
these that the product be kept lin a
cool place of near even temperature.
Un6ermenled wine, or juice Of the
grape, is made and preserved in
this way, and is better and more
nealthful than wine made in any
other way.

butter, and place Oh each thin
and very small piece OF orange can

To PREVENT SKIPPERs,-The
time is coming for hanging our
homemade meat to smoke it. The
first thing to do is to have some
water and rag and tub take the
Joints out and wash the flesh part,
leaving it tOlerable moist; then have
some black pepper, ground, and
sprinkle on until il won't stick;
hang carefully and smoke for fifteen
days with small pieces Of hickory
wood. This has been my custom
for twenty years, and l have never
been troubled with bugs or worms
in my meat. The pepper gives it
a good favor. All meat houses
should have good floors, clear OF all
grease and dirt.
PUDDING WITHOUT MILK OR
EGGs.-Make dough as for BIS
cults, Or TO every pint OF flour one
teaspoon OF baking powder, half
tablespoon OF melted suet or butter

milk to make milk to make soft
dough; roll half-inch thick, cover
with fruit of any kind, sprinkle
with sugar and roll, pressing the

may be warmed over by steaming.
Excellent, and may be made with

THE LATE ELECTIONS.

If the elections on Tuesday proved
one thing more than another, it was
the growth and Importance of the in
dependent voter. Never before have
party lines appeared to hang so loose
ly. Here in this State the Democratic
county of Monmouth returns Repub-
lican Senator, and the Republican
counties of Somerset and Gloucester
return Democrats. Solid Republican
districts have given Democratic ma
jorities and Republican Assemblymen
have been elected in Democratic
strongholds
In Pennsylvania an independent
Republican candidate for State Treas
urer polls nearly fifty thousand votes
In Virginia the Liberal ticket scores a
sweeping majority, and even Bour-
bon-cursed Mississippi gives evidence
OF growth of liberal thought and in
dependent action in spite of shotgun
arguments and the wholesale slauoh-
ter of Republicans. In New York
this tendency to independent action
was so marked and widespread that
the Neao York Herald says that GA
careful examination of the figures
warrants our expression of belief that
at least one elector in five in the State
OF New York severed partisan attach
ments with regard to one or more of
the names upon his ballot and voted
with sole reference to his individual
preference Or prejudice or conscience. +"
In Minnesota, in Wisconsin, in fact in
every State, this tendency was shown
in greater degree than ever before.
In the main, this manifestation Of
independent thought and action was
for the public good. 1t will teach
party managers and party bosses that
the days of slavish obedience to the
crack of the party whip have passed,
that no matter how great the organi-
cation nor how glorious the party's
record-that even if it numbers among
its achievements the disenthrallment
of race and the salvation of nation
