How to Feed Meal to Cows.

1t is a matter of some importance,
says a writer in the Ne,D Englqnd
Farmer, how meal is fed to co'fs.
Owing to the peculiar structure of the
cows digestive organs, when meal is
fed alone, instead of going into the
first stomach where the hay goes and
remaining until it is remasticated, it
goes directly to the third and thence to
the fourth stomach. The consequence
is that the meal is not subjected to the
softening process which the hay
undergoes, and which would render it
more easily digestible. Where consid-
cradle meal is fed portion of it is
liable to be imperfectly digested and
thus occasions loss. BY wetting the
meal and hay and mixing them together
before feeding, the meal will be eaten
along with the hay and will be sub
iected to the whole digestive process.
1t is believed that by thus feeding the
COWS, more meal can be digested with
out disturbance of the digestive organs,
and, consequently more milk obtained
than by feeding the milk separately.
This is matter worthy the considera-
ton of those who feed dairy COWS.

To Flood Sahara,

Count de Lesseps has explored the
route for himself, and he declares that
the construction of a canal to flood the
great African desert with the waters of
the Mediterranean is feasible. There has
been doubt as to whether the surface
of Sahara is higher or lower than the
surface of the sea, but his triumphant
communication from Tunis indicates
that he has obtained information that
to perform his feat it will not be nee
essary to make water run uphill. 1t
is proposed to cut channel through
the narrow neck of land which separ-
ates the salt marshes south of Tunis
from the gulf of Gabes and thus pour
an ocean into the vast basin Of sand
whose farther rim is the border of the
Soudan-a land of the riches of India
and the population of the United
States. France has been eager to bring
the heart of Africa to the light OF
civilization and the wealth to the pock.
cts of Frenchmen, and Colonel Flatters
expended three years of toll and $780,
900 of treasure in the attempt to fulfill
his ambitious prediction: 81 will cross
Africa with a railway" Since his
slaughter by Arabs the scheme to pene
trate the heart of the ozark continent
with a railway has dropped from pub
lie attention, and Count de Lesseps
the great uniter of the earth's waters
has laid his stupendous project before
his admiring countrymen. with sub
lime confidence in his ability to secure
S15,O00,O0O for the work by merely
asking. The count is now nearly
eighty years of age, and in his long
and romantic career he has accom-
plished prodigious achievements, but
if he restores to the burning sands Of
Sahara the waves which in remote
age rolled over them, the creation of ar
ocean and the civilization of contin.
ent will be the climax of his career
and the chief marvel OF his fame

Budding and Gra fling.

An address read by A. +. Barron
before the North of Scotland horticul-
tural society, is published in the
London Garden, occupying several
columns. 1t contains statement of
many interesting facts, but some of its
statements, not being of universal
application, may be modified. One of
these is that in strong calcareous soils
dwarf stocks for fruit trees do not
succeed" In this country we have
never had better success with dwarfs
than on strong calcareous soils, good
cultivation being given. Another is
that peaches worked on the plum are
far more hardy and vigorous" We
find otherwise. They grow slower on
the plum, and so far as this retarded
growth exists, with its earlier ripening
of wood, the trees are slightly harder,
precisely the same as when the growth
is reduced on poor soils or IN uncultl-
waited ground. Again, "a pear may be
grated on the apple, but does not live
beyond a year or So" Somepears will
live for several years; we have seen
the old summer Bonchretien some
twelve years or more grated on a
Spitzenburg apple, bearing well, and
some other sorts several years. The
same writer further states that a
gardener grated certain pear on a
common hawthorn, and "the fruit was
very similar to haws." Obviously, he
mistook shoot closely below the point
of union for one above it; or else in
serted by mistake one of the shoots he
had just trimmed from the hawthorn
We have known both these mistakes
committed by men usually CAREFUL
CuItiC0tor.

PrOphecies for the Credul0us.

Hardly had people recovered from
the nerve-shattering soothsaying of
Mother Shipton when the weird words
of wind-compelling Virgins is well
rubbed from recollection, two ancient
prophecies have been unearthed for
the present year. One is from the
writings of Nostradamus, a French
astrologer of the sixteenth century,
which may be thus rendered
"In eighteen hundred and eighty-three,
When woods in vernal green shall be,
Against misfortune and mischance
A lame man shall protect our France"
The Comte de Chambord is lame,
and may be taken to represent the
"boiteaux" or "boiteuX."
The second blood-curdler is:
"Whca Easter falls in our Lady's lap
To England shall come great mishsp"
Now, Easter Sunday this year fell,
for the first time in about Il hundred
years, on. Lady Day March Is.
We now manufacture another
prophecy
When in one week fall Sundays two,
Prophetic rhymes may chance come true

Hot Bath for Insects.

A German method for destroying
thrips and red spiders is to have large
vessel filled with clean hot water at Il
temperature of 1873 degrees. The in
tested plants are dipped into the water
for the space of four seconds when
the insects will be killed, and no
damage result to the plants; it is best
not to continue the immersion longer
than the time noted. If afterwards a
few insects appear that have developed
since the operation, it may be repeated.
The temperature of the water should
be watched and not allowed to fall
below 122 degrees. 1t is said that
even young shoots and flower buds
will not suffer in the least from this
treatment.-Vick.

Taking Tea with the Japanese.

Says traveller: "The great peculiar
ity of this tea drinking ceremony con-
sists in the eXactness with which every
thing is done. A spoon, cup, or what
ever is handled, has to be taken hold of
in particular way, set down in par
ticular place, and touched in particu-
lar part, and everything is done with
the same strange precision. What l
saw was part of the ceremony of thin
tea drinking and part of the ceremony
of thick tea-drinking,' but the whole
is simply lesson in those laws of
politeness which were formerly so
rigidly exacted in every mansion and
on every state occasion; and which
are still largely kept up in the houses
of the old aristocracy. Originally, the
ceremony was of a secret character, and
no servant entered the house in which
it took place--the master kindling the
fire, boiling the water, making the tea,
aN'l, in short, doing everything for the
guests; but in later years it has become
q mere ceremony of an extremely fash
ionable character. One or two things
in this service struck me as especially
strange. Thus, both host and guests
1ue1t from the time they entered the
building till the time they left it; and
even when the master had to go to a
little back room to fetch water, cups
or whatever else he might require, he
shuffled on his kness to the slide which
served as door, and then, having
opened it, shuflled through the opening
till he was well on the other side, when
he rose to his feet; but this he must
not do while in the presence Of his
guests. The chief guest, moreover, is
the spokesman for the company, and
no word is uttered save by the chief
guest or host during the service, be it
ever so long. The chief guest also de-
mands cverything-thus he asks for
tea and refreshments; but the particu-
lar moment at which each request. has
to be made is arranged by the code of
etiquette. AT opportune moments the
chief guest also asks if he may look at
the tea-caddy, spoon, a bowl, or the tea
pot. Receiving the necessary permis-
sion, he shuffles on his knees to the
place where the object demanded is,
takes it, bows his forehead to the
ground, then rising, touches his fore
head with the object received, and
begins to examine it. Looking at the
teapot, he asks if it is silver; then,
who made it; then opening it and
smelling the tea, what tea costs per
pound; after which inquiries ne passes
it to the next guest, and makes Il re-
mark to the host which should, if pos
sible, be at the same time compli-
ment and pun. After each guest has
duly inspected the object, the chief
guest shufles again across the floor,
and returns it to its place. Object
after object is brought, examined and
returned in the same manner"
