Healthy Homss for Animals.

Horses, sheep, dogs and the higher
animals in general have vital systems
exactly like those of man, and seemingly
as sensitive too. A dose of any particu
lar poison is just as fatal to q large dog
as to man of similar weight, and poisons
that are breathed in by the lungs
of horse find their way just as quickly
to the blood as they would if inhaled
by man, woman or child, while bad food
is just as mischievous in its effects upon
the health of animals as of humans.
The inmates of stables and sheds need
light and ventilation fully as much as
the denizens of our hahdsomest houses.
And yet thousands of horses, upon whose
work men and families depend for their
livelihood, are stabbed in close, dark,
filthy Enclosures, while COWS, of whose
lives thousands Of children are partakers
in the most literal sense, fare far worse
in all that pertains to health. 1t is be-
lieved by many careful observers that
animals are as sensitive as man even to
malarious influences. Certain it IS that
in malarious regions the horses and
cattle are always thin, bony and spirit.
less. Epidemics that are not infectious
never appear without good reason, and
the frequency with which they affect
animals should inform owners of living
property that it is expensive as well as
stupid to give improper food and un-
clean housing.

Mineral Manures.

J. b. Lawes, of Rothmasted, St.
Albans, writes as follows in the Country
Gentleman: Among our experiments
upon permanent pasture we have also
results proving that the influence of
mineral manures is competent to pro.
duce large crops of hay for twenty
five years in succession. With these
facts before me I can quite understand
why corn grown on the various expert
ments recorded by Professor Atwater
has been benefited more by mineral
than by nitrogenous manures; but 1
hardly think that I could agree with
him in chasing corn among the renovat-
ing crops. Still / think the United
States farmer will be wise in using phos-
pilates for the growth Of corn SO long
as they continue to give him good
crop, and ct all events, if they fail to
do this they will remain in the soil and
can at any time be made available for
vegetation by the nse ofsome nitrogenous
manure, whereas an application of
ammonia or nitrates is irretrievably lost
il not taken up by the growing crop.
1t will, I think, be generally found that
the beneficial influence of mineral ma
nures, and more especially ofphosphate
of lime, bears some relation to the
period when the seed is sown, and that
when active growth commences the
nearer these periods are together the
greater will be the influence of the

The Carnage at FREDERICKSBURG.

81 was sergeant of gun which was
stationed just there" said an ex-Con-
federate to me as we faced the height
"We did not believe the Federals
would charge the hill, and when they
came the second time we cheered them.
Such bravery ! never saw on a battle
field. Some of the men who were hit
way down the street hobbled and limped
forward, and were struck down within
one hundred feet of the wall. This
road was the worst spectacle of the
whole war. Our artillery created hor-
rible slaughter on the heavy lines Of
men at such close range. That tree
down there at the corner Of the garden
stood in an open field then, and Just
beyond it was slight swell. AS Sum
ner's troops came over that swell in
their second charge, I fired into the
lines just to the right Of the tree, and
the shell killed orwounded nearly every
man in one company. I saw grape and
canister open lanes through the ranks,
and yet the blue lines closed up again
and dashed ut the base Of the hill. We
thought they we're madmen.
"Down where the old shed stands I
saw q curious thing that day. When
Sumner was driven back the second
time q single Federal soldier was left
on his feet among the dead there. In
stead of falling back with the rest he
stood there and loaded and fired as
coolly as If ut target practice. He
wounded one man in my company,
killed a corporal further up the hill,
and shot q lieutenant there where the
wall curves. He fred as many as six
shots, being fred at in return by..a thou
sand men; but, as he turned and walked
away, our men ceased firing and gave
him cheer after cheer. I'M Quad.

The BOar's Head.

tt was in the olden time when Baron
Rowdedow held possession Of all the
German provinces that a grand Christmas
dinner was prepared for all his retain
ers, and the great event Of the day was
to be the bringing in Of the boar's head,
which dainty dish was to grace the
center of the table. But it so happened
that the chief cook fell i'll, and his place
was filled by young Milesian, and he
it was that stood by the chief door when
Baron Rowdedow called forth in q
stentorian voice:
"Hence, knave, and bringst unto us
the boar's head"
And he Of Ireland wot not what was
meant, because in his isle pig was q
pig. Yet he bethought himself, and
went forth, and returning, sat before
Baron Rowdedow the head OF book
agent who had deyasted the baron's
domains with book sold only on SUBJ
scription, OF which there were 999 parts
and an index.
And the Milesian said, "Here, sur, is
yer bore's head" And the baron and
his retainers did laugh q laugh OF great
oy, and such Christmas was there
never before held in those parts. Der

Well Paid for His Greed.

In the Alexander Platz, in Berlin,
there is house which is known as the
"House of the Ninety.nine Sleeps
Heads" 1t is said that Frederick the
Great, once upon time, having heard
much good of some one who had lived
in the Landsbergstrasse, of his royal
clemency bestowed gift of a fine house
on the person. Whereupon a neighbor
who lived round the corner in the Alex
ander Platz, was so filled with envy that
he could not sleep for sheer longing
after like mark of the royal favor.
Not that he had need of it--hs was rich;
the honor of the thing was what his
heait was, set on. So he began to
give large sums Of money to the
poor, and to take a leading part in
useful and benevolent enterprises. And
to be sure, the king hearing Of this noble
character, sent for the man and told him
to ask q favor. So he begged to have a
house. And before many months had
come and gone the house was built, the
happy proprietor had taken possession
Of it. Yet even then he was not happy.
The statues on the roof of his neighbours
house made him SO envious that he
could not sleep for thinking about them.
Now, as it happened, old Fritz riding
that way one day, stopped his horse
aud asked the man how he liked his
house. He said he liked it hugely, but
there was one thing. If his majesty
would only deign to give him some
figures like his neighbor's
"Yes surely" said the king, "you
shall have figures" and rode on.
And the king ordered ninety. nine
sleeps heads in freestone to be set up
on the house (about fifteen are said to
be to the 'front.'. The next time that
the king rode that way the man in fear
and trembling made complaints OF his
neighbors, who were so ill-natured as to
think that there was an allusion to the
proprietor in these sculptures.
"But you have, got what you want
ed," said the king.
"Oh, certainly, your majesty" said
the man. But the Sleeps heads, you
know r.
"Well, to be sure, there are only
ninety-nine," returned the king; "but
if you want round number you have
just to put your head out at the win
dow. Good-day u
And the king rode on.

minerals. 1t is the practice among our

minerals. It is the practice among our
farmers to apply nitrate of soda alone,
in March and April, to wheat sown in
the previous autumn during the
autumn and winter the wheat has time
to extend it's roots sufficiently to obtain
the requisite quantity of mineral food.
In growing barley, after previous
cereal crop, phosphates are generally
used with ammonia and nitrates with
root crops phosphates are often used
without nitrogen. We have in our root
crops seed sown at about the same
time as corn in the United States.
Both crops also terminate, their active
growth at about the same time in the
autumn and both are equally benefited
by phosphate Of lime. At Rothamsted,
on the land under rotation-experiment
of turnips, barley beans or clover, and
wheat, which has RECEIVED no nitrogen
for thirty years, the last turnip crop,
manured with mineral superphosphate
OF lime, weighed eleven tons per acre
and contained twenty-seven pounds of
nitrogen. Ii our soil, after the removal
Of every particle of produce grown upon
it during this long period, still yields
so large crop, surely we may expect
that, upon the more fertile soil of the
states, greatly increased crops of corn
may be obtained by the same manures.

JoHNNYCAKE.-One cup sweet milk,
one cup wheat -four, one and one-balf
cups corn meal, one tablespoonful
sugar, one egg, butter half the size OF
an egg, one teaspoonful cream tartar,
one-half teaspoonful soda, q little salt.
Bake in tin about four inches by eight
inches.

pulverized sugar, one dozen eggs, three
quarters of pound of -four. Beat the
yolks and sugar to a cream, then beat
the whites, and lastly stir in the. -four

tins, made expressly for these little
cakes, or you may drop them Oh white

case, however, to look irregular about
the edge. Be careful not to put too
much dough in the tin as it will rise a
good deal. Have the oven hot and
success is certain.
How TO Bon RIcE.--Few cooks seem
to know how to prepare this article of
food properly, SO hint or two will not
be out of place here. The rice must
be carefully picked over, and then
washed in cold water until it is free
from all the loose starch which may
adhere to it, or until the water looks
clear. Then dryit. 1t can be put in
-four sieve for this purpose. In placing
it over the fire, use three pints Of water
to cup of rice and teaspoonful of
salt. The water must be boiling before
the rice is added. Boil precisely twelve
minutes, and then pour off the water.
Then place the saucepan with the rice
on the back part of the stove, where it
will keep warm without burning for
ten minutes longer, with the cover
partly removed. In this way it is not
soggy, or too soft, and every grain is
cooked separately by itself. After being
cooked, if left covered, it will soften
and the grains will burst open in their
delicate tenderness.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD,
Brittle HOOfs.

Brfttle HOOla.
Among the causes which produce brit
tie hoofs in horses and cattle, the National
Liue Stock Journal mentions the frequent
standing in rotting dungheaps or in
pools of decomposing liquid manure.
In the dung heap there is not only the
moisture and steam soaking and soften
ing the hoof, but there is abundance Of
ammonia gas, which is especially cal
culated to soften, dissolve and destroy
the horn. Standing in such decompos-
ing organic matter is still more injuri-
ous when the animal is confined to box
or stall, for here the injurious effect Of
inactivity is added to the other condi-
tions.

To Keep Very Shaded Places Clean.

To Keep Very Shaded Places Clean.
Especially in the front yards of dwell
ings, both in town and country, which
are much shaded, we often see the
ground completely bare, not living
thing being perceptible. Sometimes
there are many nearly nude, struggling
limbs lying upon the ground or very
near it, which are unsightly and every
way worthless, that ought to be cut
away. This would give room for the
growing there OF omeplant or vine that
would be adapted to 1t, and which would
not only recover the naked spot and
make it a 'living green," but would be
adding very much to the general appear
ance Of the premises. The best vine for
this purpose is undoubtedly the peri
winkle. It will grow almost anywhere
in thu shade if the proper attention is
given to it, but not otherwise. 1t is q
beautiful vine and will densely cover
the ground, producing nearly the whole
season very pretty blue flower. Weeds,
however, are it's deadly enemies. 1t
cannot fight them. Steadily they will
encroach until they drive away our favor
ite and occupy the field Of battle. A
little help now and then, however, will
defeat the common enemy and allow us
to enjoy the cool-looking, popular ever
green for many years without renewal
