WHAT TO FEED HORSES.

Every animal requires a certain vol
ume Of food to maintain the natural dis
tention of the stomach that is to say,
concentrated food alone could not sus-
tain life. In Prussia rye straw is given
to horses along with oats. They do not
eat the straw willingly SD that when
the horses are pronounced unfit for SER
vice, and are bought by farmers, they
are even attacked by collie in receiving
their new rations, because the stomach
and intcstines have contracted by the
barrack rations and time is necessary to
enable them to return to their normal
volume. Hay is Of different qualities
and the feed Of oats ought to be proper.
tionate to the quality of hay. The lat
ter, if from marshy land, is not equal in
point of nutrition to good oaten straw.
Hay from irrigated districts looks well,
but it is not very nutritive; the best
comes from calcareous soil of mixed
grasses, mixed with aromatic plants
Rye straw is only good for litter wheat
straw is rclished by horses in the night
and eaten 1t all times. Carrots are
more refreshing than nourishing for
horses; turnips are next to worthless,
but Jerusalem artichokes are good. In
Bavaria post horses are fed or potatoes
in place Of oats. II the former be mix
ed with bran it is better. Bran fattcns
rather than imparts vigor, and that from
rye is preferred in Germany to that
from wheat, and sells at higher price
even. For horses having but little time
to feed, bread is excellent, but should
never be given fresh. In some garrison
towns livery keepers contract for the
refuse bread of the soldiers. Linsccd
cake dissolved in water is good for
nursing mares. The strangest of all
diets is sawdust ; yet the barge horses
along the Mosellc and Sarre daily mix
it with the feed of oats. Ii is slightly
nutritive, but its efficacy lies in its
maintaining the necessary expansion or
volume OF the stomach. -Pr0E. KnaBb.

THE BEST FARMING.

The best farming is that which pro-
duces from mans land the largest net
profit without impairing the soils capac-
ity to produce. The average farmer
tills his acre for profit, and not for the
purpose Of coming into possession of
abstract truths. Ninety-nine farmers
out of hundred will accept the above
definition Of the best farming; the
hundredth farmer, in an experimental
way, expects to be Of great benefit to
his class, makes an assignment for his
creditors benefit, and is useful TO his
neighbors simply as warning.
According to the definition given
above, the best farmers in the world are
found in New York State. In some re-
gions the farms are billy and so stony
that the cobbles taken from the soil are
plenty enough to fence the land with
solid wall but every knoll and hillside
is cultivated for all it is worth, and all
the stones are found in the walls that
enclose the productive fields. In those
regions fertilizers, except such as are
produced on the farm, are too cxpen-
sive to be largely used. The farmer
must manage to get crops without fer
tilizers, or decreasing the capacity of
his land. These farmers avoid exhaus.
ton of the soil by skillful rotation in
the use to which their fields are put, and
that is why they deserve to be called
the best farmers in the New World.
The practical farmer usually has pro-
found contempt for what he calls "book
farming" He considers the farmer
who talks more than he ploughs as little
else than an impostor. Thoroughly un-
Outstanding his own soil, as an instruc-
tor understands pupil who has been
for n long time under his tuition, he is
apt to carry this feeling too far, and to
refuse to hear some truths which a per-
son of scientific education might impart
to him, and which would be Of consid-
cradle bene6t:-Se1ng6eM Republican.
RULES FOR CAKE.-Have the ingre-
dients all measured and prepared and
the tins buttered before mixing the ma
terials. Sift the cream of tartar, or
baking powder, well into the -four; dis
solve the soda in the milk, or, il no
milk is used in little warm water, roll
the sugar, beat the butter to q cream,
mix the butter and sugar together, beat
the yolks and whites of the eggs separate
ly. When fruit is used it must always
be added the last thing, and dredged
with flour to prevent its falling to the
bottom. Cake, to be light, should be
baked slowly at first, until the batter is
evenly heated all through. l find that
cake is very much more delicate made
with pulverized sugar than when made
with a coarser kind. Eggs will beat
lighter and quicker if they are put into
a basin Of cold water for half an hour
before using.
