Feeding Grain to Horses.

A correspondent at Rochester, n. Y.
thus gives his experience on this topic:
Oats as feed for horses are by COM
mon consent considered better than corn.
1t is, however. tradition of which very
much doubt the real value or correctness
For road horses and for those doing light
work. where spirit is required, perhaps
oats are as good as anything. although |
should prefer oats and corn ground and
fed with cut hay. to oats alone. On a
farm where good steady work is wanted
the proportion of corn should be increas-
ed. feed (and have practiced it num-
Der of years) mixture Of one third corn
meal and two-thirds bran. giving from
four to six quarts to feed to each animal
with half bushel of hay cut fine. moisten-
ing the whole and mixing the grain and
hay thoroughly. | consider corn alone
as too heating. and for this reason when !
have grown my own corn crop. have il
ground on the cob. have the stones set
closely so as to thoroughly crush the cob,
which mixes with the meal. forming a
homogeneous mass. can see no differ
ence in feeding it thus. The horses eat it
with a relish and seem to thrive as well
as upon the clear meal.

How to Cook Potatoes.

Old potatoes should never be pared be-
fore cooking. The most nutritious portion
of the potatoe lies Immediately under the
skin, and this is generally all pared away.
through ignorance. leaving the watery
part. A small slice should first be cut
from each end. as this lets the water out.
and the potatoes then put into cold water
and allowed to heat slowly. They should
boil as slowly as possible until done
Then throw off the water, lift the lid for a
few moments and serve.
New potatoes should be laid in cold
water for an hour before cooking. Then
scrape off the skin and steam them. They
should never be boiled. If you have a
quantity to cook. a quick way to peel
them is to throw them into bucket with
a good handful of pebbles Shake vigor-
ously for a few minutes, and the skins will
all come off
The best way to cook sweet potatoes is
to chip piece off of each end, and roast
in the oven. They should never be boiled,
but may be steamed.

flame. He will, when out cunning and with
out matches, desirous of fire. lie down after
collecting dry leaves. and by breathing on
them start the fire, and then coolly take of
his vet stockings and dry them. Ii is impos-
sible to persuade him TO do it more than twice

most extreme exhaustion. He will sink into
