SCARCITY OF rood.


The short corn crop, with the Sc.

various parts of the country, must
render stock feed scarce and high

and hence the necessity of saving
and economizing in the use of all
kinds of forage. In speaking of this
matter, Chicago paper says: "The
scarcity of feed and the high price of
corn brings great many half fed
and inferior cattle to market, where
they bring from dollar and a-halfto
two dollars per hundred pounds less
than the top of the market. That
numbers of farmers are thus obliged
to dispose of their stock, and that
many more will be, viii not be ques-
toned, but there are those who need
not suffer loss thereby if they will
adopt the English practice of feeding
oil cakes, or linseed cake or meal, or
cotton seed meal, in connection with
rough feed. These concentrated
foods are highly nutritive and flesh
making. The value of oil cake for
feeding, according to DR.. III. Parmley

feeding for milk, and in fatteniag is
not easily over-estimated. Cotton

Setting a more simple table for

many is reform which wish every
housekeeper would endeavor by good
example to bring about, as it would
tend to elevate the standard of
health as well as save vast amount
of labor. How often ladies cook and
work until they are so exhausted
that they can receive little pleasure
from their visitors, simply to make y
display and win the foolish praise Of
being an excellent cook and setting
an elegant table. 1t is this fear of
being outshown by others, or not be,
ing considered a bountiful provider.
that does the mischief. One makes
a great spread because another does
and so the mischiefis kept up. But
if every housekeeper would act ac-
cording to her own principles and
the strength she has to do with, in
company, giving no
thought to the praise or censure of
epicures and gluttons, in ashort time
visiting would cease to be a trial, as
it is many cases, and become an I'M
alleged pleasure. Now who does not
enjoy visit far more when the host
