The New York World says "Matthew
Arnold doesn't like American newspapers.
He misses the magnificent lucidity OF the pom
derous English editorial writer who can fill two
columns with classical, poetical and nautical
fact, drawn out by the upsetting Of a pan OF
grease in the galleys Of one Of Her Maiesty's
ships Of war. Our brief editorial paragraphs
jar his nervous system. He said to a reporter
yesterday, The American newspaper page
has fragmentary look to me- Ours is an
incomplete fagmentery country, Mr.. Arnold,
but you are mistaken in the supposition that
we write our editorials short, to accommodate
the people to do their reading in omnibuses,
street cars and feryboats. All Americans
have dyspepsia in an acute form, and long
newspaper articles of the English form have
tendency to retard the flow Of gastric juice.
We therefore chop our editorial matter up
fine and administer it in small doses"

CHIEF JUSTICE CoLERIDGE is reported as
saying that which impressed him the mos: re-
garding the rights of American citizens, was
that "the American has absolutely no hind
rance upon his doing anything he may wish TO
do that is not against the law" "For in
stance" his Lordship says, "any man here
can have an audience without ceremony with
any officer of the Government up to the Pres-
dent whenever he may desire it. The citizen
comes into room and waits his turn, and the
official sees him, listens to whatever his caller
may have to say, and often gives the matter his
official action then and there. This is so ut
terly at variance with the usaees Of all other
countries that l may be pardoned Sor saying
that it is the most wonderful thing have
seen. Nowhere but in America could this be
done"

About Ensiiage.


4 arm ana 0aFuen.
Whether ensilage possesses any advantage
as food for cattle IS yet a debatable ques-
ton, judging from the opposite views ex-
pressed by our agricultural journals. If we
will consider that before corn fodder can be
placed in the silo for preservation it must be
cut into very fine pieces we think a partial
solution may be found to its yalue in com
parison with dry fodder, and there is a
which is to feed e~nsilage and finely-cut fod-
green fodder in the silo it is not only cut
finely but is harvested when in the most
nutritious succulent condition, while
fodder as we usually treat il,
is is cut when past its best stages, and
only when time permits, on some farms.
Ensilage, however, must be cut at the right
stage and receive the most careful attention
from the time of planting to its storage in
the silo. Let corn-fodder be cut exactly at
the proper time, properly cured, and then
fed in fine condition, and if there is any SUI
perioFity in ensilage it will be put TO a fair
test. rhe preparation of the food adds much
to its value, and e~nsilage is always prepared,
| while fodder is fed in any manner. There is
! much dependence on the working of the
cutter in this controversy. Sc far as our
own opinions go, we prefer a fair trial of its
merits, and, while but little faith is placed
in it by some, its advocates claim thar most
complaints are only by those who have not
tried it. If no more facts can be gained re-
garding e~hsilage, something. at least, may be
learned as to the feeding value of properly
cured and prepared eorn-fodder, which is a
very important matter, judging from the
manner in which it is sometimes wasted.

The best time for shipping bees any con-
siderable. distance is, inlApril or quite early
May, before the combs are too heavy with
brood, though within proper care in preparing
them and ordinary usage in handling, they
may beshlpped at any time with comparative
safety, except in quite cold weather.
Many horses are actually killed by kind
ness. Letting them stand in the stable from
one week'send to another without any exer-
else OF anyfkind, because they might hurt
themselves if let run loose, is, very injuri-
GUS. To keep them IN the, right. condition
ltls necessary that they be exercised every
day.
Some Western breeders state that it is q
mistake to suppose that the cross of the Cots
void and Merino to be an improvement on
the originals. The wood is neither the best
for combing, nor can it compete in the
market with that from pure sMerino in fine
ness. The carcass is not equal to. the Cots
void, and the cross is not suitable in other
respects, as the Cotswold thrives only on
good ~pasturage, while the Merino is an active
forager.
The editor of the American Gardener says
he has followed the mole tracks under rows
of dead plants, ana has always found ON their
roots the peculiar marks of the gnawing OF
the grubs, proving that the latter were
already engaged in their destructive work,
being arrested only by the timely arrival of
the mole, which, after having found his prey,
would not follow the same row on a FOOLS
errand, but would make a short cut to the
next row., where his sharp scent indicated
other grubs.
T. E. Terry, of Hudson, writes to ar East
ern journal (where' but few Ohio farmers
will see it),, that. he feeds his work-team On
hay alone, and yet they are very feshy, and
show a constant gain, and that for thirteen
years he has never had a sick or dead
horse, and that "his team will kick up their
heels, and shines as though oiled" His plan
is to cut clover and timothy, sown together
the 18th of June, and well cure it. The
feed is what they will eatin ninety minutes,
three times per day, and at SO per ton, it
costs him about "a cents per day to keep his
team, or about sixty pounds beng theiR

Household Hints.

Hot irons should never be used for em-
broidery.
Mirrors should not be hung where the sun
shines directly upon them.
To relieve hiccough at once, take a lump
of sugar saturated with vinegar.
Dried bark of s~assafras root put around
dried fruit will protect it from worms.
Raw starch, applied with a little water as
paste, will generally remove all stains from
bed-ticking.
To remove spots from furniture, take four
ounces of vinegar, two ounces of sweet oil,
one ounce of turpentine. Mix and apply
with a flannel cloth,
Every cook knows how long a time it takes,
when il can least be spared, TO look over one
or two quarts of beans. An ingenious friend,
who is always trying to save time, says: Put
the beans in a colander, and all the fine dirt
will be shaken out, and the beans that are
specked can be picked out with ease and in q
very short time.
Many a deluded child has been cured of g
cold by this means: Take a cup of brown
sugar and put it in a saucepan to make
candy, but instead of adding water in which
to dissolve the sugar, put in a little tea made
by stepping thoroughwort. This will impart
a bitter taste. which is not unpleasant to the
child after the first mouthful, and is really a
good remedy for a "tickliDg in the throat
Pretty wall baskets can be made by taking
one of the rough straw hats SO much worn at
the seaside a year or two ago. If a flower or
vine is not already embroidered on it, add
some such decoration, then line the hat with
muslin or silesia, finish the edge with q pieat-
ing of ribbon, and tie a ribbon in a mot AMI
fasten to it for a handle. The hat may be
fattened by pressure, or by using stout linen
thread for that purpose.

Recipes.

SALAD DRRssISG.-Thre tablespoonfuls of
oil to one of vinegar, a salt-spoon heaping
full of salt, and two-thirds full of black
pepper, with a pinch of cayenne, are the
proper proportions for a plain salad dressing.
70 vary this add a small picked onion,
chopped very fine, or a raw onion and a
cucumber pickle, with a little pepper and
salt added to a little vinegar, makes an ap-
petizing dressing for cold boiled pigs feet.
BREAD CREDIBLE CAKES. The old-fashioned
way was to break the bread in small bits and
let them soak for several hours in sour milk;
then when ready to fry them, take a spoon
and stir them so there are no Jumps left;
sweeten the sour milk with soda dissolved in
a little hot water, in the proportion of a
scant teaspoonful of soda to one large cup of
sour milk. The batter should be as thick as
for eorn-meal griddle cakes, and to this end
stir in enough hour to make it so; a large
pinch of salt and the same quantity of sugar
should be added. Bread griddle cakes can
be made by using sweet milk and baking
powder in place of soul milk and soda.
TABLE CHOCOLATE Take from one TO two
ounces or squares of cocoa paste TO each pint
of milk, according as you want it thick or
| thin, Put the milk into a very clean sauce
| pan on a moderate fire aud bring ii to the
boiling point then throw in the cocoa,

Forests and Floods.


Lumberman's Gazette.
There is a great deal said very wisely about
the devastation Of forests leading to droughtS
and floods. The reasoning and the facts
amount almost to a demonstration. 1t seems
as if what is so argued must be true, and We
have no desire to offer a contrary opinion.
And yet, the people of Cincinnati make espe-
cial emphasis of the fact that the present
dreadful food is but a few inches above that
of 1889, more than fifty years ago, when 8o5-
ests were far plentier than now. The dc
struction of timber during fifty years has not
caused any food heretofore that equaled that
of fifty years ago. On he contrary, the
floods since timber cutting got under way
have been below one that came when forests
were vast and abundant In all directions ont
there. So, too, the greatest food that Gem
/ necticut has ever known occurred in the last
century. Every bridge, it is said, in Eastern
Connecticut was carried away then. The
State was sparsely settled and the tree acne
age of Connecticut and New England was
many times what it now is.
