Nutriment in Grain and Hay.

From the Western Rural.
Corn is fat producing food. Its fat
giving elements predominant so largely
that it is not fitted for constant feeding,
except to lay on fat at the cost of sitter
ing loss to the general system. 1t is
hardly worth while to take it into con-
sideration as q nutritious food and it is
wholly unfit to feed exclusively or in
any great quantity to colts. 1t is In NO
sense what the developing system of a
Young animal needs. The value of q
food for this class of animals and for an
finals that are heavily worked is in the
protein they contain, and common corn
contains only from s to IA per cent. OF
that. In thousand pounds, therefore,
corn may DE isirlv considered as
possessing tfndrsd pounds
of nutriment. OF course We
cannot wholly throw away the other ell
ements as being useless, but they are so
subordinate 10 the one named in point
of nutrition that IL noticing a subject
like the onesunder consideration, il is
not worth while to attempt 10 coneidsr
their value. Oats will average larger IN
portion than corn will, and are pre-
eminently nutritious food, as every one
ofsexperience knows. They vary very
much in the proportions OF their ele-
ments; but an average lot of oats IS
worth double fdf feed for horses and
coils that corn is, ana that IL stating It
quite mildly. Timothy averages abort y
per cent, of portein, but it is valuable
also as furnishing bulk, the value OF
which cannot be accurately estimated.

Turkish Wives.

A Mussulman is allowed by the Koran
to have fonr wives, though many have
81 tiany as they can keep in comfort.
The first wife is called the hanun, and
takes precedence over the others all her
life She has right to the best rooms
and to fixed share other husbands in
come, which he must not reduce to min
lister TO the caprice Of his younger
Gpoutes. As these points have generally
been settled through the imans before
the wedding, a Danun'S JOlnture IS safe
as that of a French woman who has Ina
contract drawn up by a notary. She
visits and entertains the hanuns of other
gentlemen, but keeps aloof from wives
of the second and other degrees. These
are not equal in her sight, being gen
orally ladies of lower social status, who
have not brought any dover to their
husband Time was WHEN pasta would
take four wives dt equal degree, all be-
irg daughters OF other pashas or of the
Sultan, and all richly portioned; but
manners have altered in this respect
at all events, in the European part Of
Turkey. The Turkist. wife is not a slave.
The chief tauis TO ind with her is that
rte mas to lofty sense of her own dig
nitv. An advocate of female rights
would have some difficulty in pursuad-
ing her that her lot was pitiable; she
has never envied the emancipation
of Christian women. whose
ifee ways shock her, while she has
noticed that they got much less respect
from the men of their faith than that
which is invariably vouchasfed to
serself. She walls her face with no more
regret than a weste lady unveils her
shoulders. Turkish women are not shut
up. They go out when they please. If
a husband meets his wife in the street
he makes no sign of recognition. If he
parceives her haItiug before Diapers
stall and gazing ut silks dearer than he
can afford, he must possess lis soul in
resignation, muttering Mash Allah
This respect for women prevails also in
the home circle, and 1t comes naturally
to the Mussuiman, who has been taught
from his boyhood TO behave c0urteously
to the softer sex. Turkish girls are UNI
alfectedly modest. L hose OF the lower
class who are engaged as servants in the
houses CT Frank residents are much
preferred to Greeks or Armenians for
their excellent behavior, cleanliness and
regard for truth. Looking upon mar
riage as their natural destiny, they are
careful of their regulations, and when
married make frst-rate house wives. No
doubt tourist who compared
turkey of to-day with
that twenty-five years ago
would find some departures from this
strict woinanly reserve which used to be
the universal Neutrality-suspicious.

The Pig in Agriculture

The pig has recently been spoken OF
in contempt when compared with our
domestic animals. But if we examine
his gpod qualities at all critically, we
must award him high place in agricul-
ture. He is found to prodUoA 4 pound
of product from less food than eithar
cattle or sheep, and is therefore, the
most economical machine to manufac
ture our great corn crop into marketable
meat. Our people are becoming wiser
ever year, and exporting less, proper
tiorately, of the raw material and more
of condensed product. II u takes seven
pounds of corn on the average to mare
a pound of pork, as is no doubt the case,
the farmer begins to see the economy Of
exporting one pound of pork, bacon or
ham. instead of seven pounds of corn.
The difference in cost OF freight makes
a fine profit of itself; be-
sides, the pound of meat js usually
worth more than seven pound of corn in
the foreign market. The production of
pork should be encouraged ON the
further consideration that it carries less
of the valuable constituent of the soil
than beef. The fat pig contains only
three-fourths as much mineral matter
per Cht. no tLio lds otcSl, anu oHiy wv
fifths as much nitrogen per cwt; and
therefore the Production of pork on the
farm will carry off only little more
than half the fertility carried off by a
ton Of beef Besides ton of beet will
require nearly 50 per cent. TO produce
it. This gives in round numbers the
comparative effect of producing pork
and beef. 1t is thus evident that the
pig should have high place in our agri-
culture; should be fostered in every
ray his capabilities studied and pushed;
his diseases carefully noted and proven
ted, for. he fs the most profitable meat
producing animal on the farm, The pig
is an excellent adjunct to the dairy,
turning all refuse milk even whey into
cash. AS he is the king of our meat ex-
b6fts. So let us treat him with great con-
alteration
