Stock Prospects.

1t will not often happen in this cOun-

resulting high price, has precluded

therefore, stock of all kinds has either

Some Fscts About Nay.

Prof w. H. Jordon, of Pennsylvania
Agri. College, give I'm the American
Agricultural for June, o series of ex-
periments bearing upon the best time
for cutting hay. We extract the
following:
Now there are two statements that
can be made with all assurance OF
their correctness III No part Ofany
food that Is not digested is Ofany nu-
tritive value. t2) Hay from early cut
grass is more digestible than hay from
late cut grass. As substantiating the
latter statement, give the results Of
an experiment with sheep, using hay
from grass cut Mt three periods Of
gorowth. Out Of LOO parts OF the vari-
Gus ingredients fed. the table shows
the number of parts digested.

DESTRUCTION OF TIMBER.

LOG, 600 cords Of soft maple timber. To
make our lucifer matches, $4,000
cubic feet of our best pines are requir-
ell annually. Lasts and bo0t-trees
take 5OO, 900 cords of birch, beech and
maple annually, and the handles of
tools take annually 5OU, 900 cords more.
The baking of our bricks and tiles con-
sumes at least 3,OOO.O0O cords of wood
annually, or what would cover q for
est of Mt least 49, 600 acres of land. Tel
egraph poles already up represent
$40, 900 trees, and their annual repairs
consumes $1,000 more. The ties Of our
railrOad consume thirty years growth
of "a, 600 acres of our best timber lands,
and to fence all Of our railroads would
cost $45, OOO, 900 with an annual expen-
diture of at least SIS ,OOO, ono more for
repairs. Our packing boxes cost Sl2,
OOO.O 900 yearly, made mostly of elm.

above ways of consulnatiOn must be
counted the great devastating fires

These undeniable facts staring our
American people i'm the face, il j. self
evident that our timber supply will in

A kind of cheese recently coming
into demand in all our chief tOwnsand
cities, would soon have an immense
consumption, II there was an adequate
supply. In some localities 1t il called
"Pot, Dor Cottage Cheese, lin Others,
Dutch Cheese, or -'SOur Curds." 1t
Is simply the curd Of sour milk drained
from the whey, nodded into small
fancy shapes, and eaten while fresh or
soon after.
The manufacture il quite simple.
The milk il allowed to become lob
bersd, when it is gently heated to fac
ilitate separation Of the whey. The
curds are then gathered and sailed or
otherwise to suit the taste, and pressed
into small mOlds, or formed with the
hand into balls or pats of suitable
shape, when IL IL ready for the table

water over the range, and stirred u

improves the quality and flavor for
many.
In summer some use large cans hav
ing a spiggOt near the bottom. The
sour milk Is allowed to stand I'm these
i'm the sun, or In warm wat r to thick
en-. The heat separates the whey,
which Is drawn off through the spig-
got. The curds are then removed to
sink having a Slated bottom, covered
with q strainer cloth. The curds
thrown upon this cloth are soon drain
ell, and ready to be pressed with the
hands or nodded into forms.
Sometimes tins cheese Is ported and
left to turn into pasty mass, having
q strong disagreeable Odor, when 1t is
esteemed most acceptable 10 those
who have acquired q taste for eating
it thus, rs 1t has some characteristics
of "Limburger."
Cottage Cheese, when fresh and well
made, finds q ready market i'm cities,
and certain butter makers realize quite
q profit by turning their skinned
milk into this product l know lead

Even in small towns there has of late

and have no doubt that with proper

thus be turned to good profit. These
sour milk curds are not only healthful,
but nutritious, and the great liking
for them among all classes Of people,
indicates that they supply some ele-

the PYRAMIDS Of EGYPT.

The Pyramid OF CheOps IL the larg-
est and tallest of the buildings ON the
earth. 1t was raised upon q broad
platform of stone, and lowered four
hundred and fifty or sixty feet above
the plain. 1t Is . mass Of stone, inclOs-
ing several sepulchral chambers, and
entered by o long, narrow passage.
Each Of the Kings Of Egypt built his
own Pyramid; every year that he
lived he added to its height and gran
deur. A small one marks q short
reign, that Of Cheops long and pros
porous period. 1t Is said that the mere
building of the causeway for the con-
veyance Of the stone occupied the
labor Of l0O, OOO men for three months;
they were then relieved. and q fresh
body Of 1OO, 900 brought in. The work
went on for ten yeare, until ,OOO, 900
laborers had been employed upon the
preparations of the site and the gather
ing Of the materials. Twenty years
were then given to the building Of the
monstrous tomb; 1900, 900 men aided
in its completion. The Nile swarmed
with boats bearing food and subsis-
persons were employed annually upon
the Pyramid.
CheOps must have had the satisfae-
ton Of seeing his tomb overshadOw
the temples Of Memphis and grow
in greatness ~ the period approachs
ed when IL would be used. But
like many another famous protector.
he fell at last into difficulties. His
tomb may well be called "CheOps' fol.
IT," His treasures were exhausted; he
became . bankrupt. After his death
the size Of the Pyramids was reduced
BY his more prudent but less renowned
successors. II placed iu the City Hall
Park, the Pyramid Of Cheops would
have covered nearly all Its surface; its
TOP would have risen two hundred
feet shove the spire Of Trinity Church;
the flrst object seen by the vOyager
entering the Narrows would have been
this immense and useless structure.
The folly Of man was never better
shOvn than in the building Of the
Pyrnmids. The Egyptians were
houseless, naked, starved, that the
PharaOhs might rest In their indestruc-
tibIe tombs-
The Egyptians lived, in general, at
ease. They were shut ont nom the
world, and lew strangers were suffered
