The Waste OF Animal Food.

The flesh of domestic animals fit for
food is almost a waste substance In some
countries. since it can not be locally
consumed nor profitably preserved. In
the River Platte republics alone there
are. SO, 900 900 sheep and rs, 900 900 cat
tie to population of 2,500, 900. For
years sheep was only valued there for
their wool, and, when aayed, caresses
were left to rot, or. whom dried in the
sun, piled up in stacks for fuel, while
later on, they were boiled down for
their tallow. Sheep get very fat in the
province of Buenus Ayres, and those of
three and four years will give frequently
from eighteen to twenty five pounds of
| tallow. Countless numbers of sheep are
| boiled down every year in the so-called
"graserias" only for the tallow, which
forms one of the staple articles of ex-
port. The mutton is thrown away. or
used in dry state as fuel.
| In the five years, more than |, 500, 900
sheep and 200 horned cattle were boiled
down simply for their tallow, in the col
onies of New South Wales and Victoria.
We English are great meat eaters, and ,
as our home supply is quite insufficient.
we have to import more than 600, 900
tons every year. With the growth of
our population, and the decreasing num-
ber of live stock at home, the imports of
meats from abroad have prodigiously
increased in the last quarter of Gen.
| tury.
| In paper read before the Royal Col.
onial Institute, Sir Francis Bell, the
Agent General for New Zealand, stated
that frozen meat in any quantity can be
placed upon this market from the other
side of the world at Sd to 6Id a pound,
leaving good profit to the grower.
"This," he added, "ought ultimately to
make meat cheaper here or at least pre-
vent the further rise now threatened.
| Australia and New Zealand can, in fact.
export 70O, 900 tons of meat year, Or
$4,000 tons day, which is not much
more than you want in England even
now, without reducing even the present
capital number of their sheep and cattle,
and we are able to send on sheep to
Smithfeld with greater ease to-day than
| the Tweed farmers could one hundred
years ago, when meat was selling at a
penny pound in Scotland against ten
pence in London. Popular Science

riously united, for this victory, which
made the one viscount, made the other
First Lieutenant, though he had but
just come of age. He followed his COM
mander, who had become warmly at
tached to him, through ali the years that
interviewed, so that, when the great day
OF Trafalgar came, he was the second In
command to Captain Hardy. As the ac-
ton began Lord Nelson approached him
and, placing his hand on his shoulder,
said:
ssWe are going to have hard day,
Edward; | hope you may pass through it
safely"
II shall try to do my duty, my lord"
said Lieutenant Lee. But" he added,
pointing to the uniform and decorations
which the commander wore, contrary to
his custom. stwhy does your lordship
render yourself 80 conspicuous to-day?
You will certainly draw the fire Of some
marksman?"
81 have presentment," said the Ad-
miral, that my race is run; so have put
on all harness to-day. In honor gained
them," he continued, proudly laying his
hand on the insignia. ''and in honor l
will die with Them"
| Inc pfeS6nGmon6 was realized. lb was
the last action of the great sailor. As he
fell on the deck, in the heat of the battle,
the captain and lieutenant of the ship
sprang to him in an agony of grief.
$50 back to your post, Edward" he
said, as the lieutenant knelt by him.
Then he added, gently, .'God bless you,
lad.
With sad heart the young man re.
turned to his place. The fate which
seemed to unite his destiny with that OF
his commander was fully realized on
that day; for, just as the victory was
| gained, heavy discharge of grape of a
French ship-of- the-hne swept the deck
of Lord Nelson's ship, and when the
smoke cleared away Captain Hardy saw
his lieutenant lying almost in the same
spot where the conqueror of the Nile
had fallen, with his breast torn open by
| the tearible discharge.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

John Guy Vassar. of Poughkeepsie,
has made gift of S25, 900 more to Vassar
college.
The first woman's medical school to be
established in Canada, will soon be
opened in Toronto.
The free kindergartens in Cincinnati
have grown from small beginning, un-
til instruction is now furnished to 1853.
In many cities and towns of Germany
schools for the education of mechanics
and artisans are kept open on Sundays as
we'll as in the evenings.
Sancrit has been placed among the
optional studies of the senior year at
Williams college. Only one student has
thus far signified desire to take it.
Toronto in Canada has some time been
employing kindergarten methods in its
public schools, ana the Globe states that
the ultimate success of the experiment is
certain.
The Sanitary Engineer urges parents
who send their children to boarding
schools to make searching inquiries into
the character of the drainage and venti-
lation of such institutions.
Louisiana has not the scruples of Ken
tucky on the subject of federal aid for
state schools, and the governor says they
will accept government money, provided
the local boards can spend it,
The appropriation for public school
purposes in Louisiana have been entire
" exhausted, and as result, every pub
lie school In the state has been closed.
The probabilities are that they will re-
main closed until next April.
England, Germany, France, Russia
and the smaller nations of Europe are
spending money literally for the educa-
ton of their artisans, and in England,
| more particularly, private liberallty is
| added to government bounty, to extend
the advantages of technical training to
all classes of workers.
A petition has been presented to the
| minister of instruction in Russia, asking
for the restoration of corporal punish
| ment in the schools of that country.
This looks like retrogression, until it is
explained that, while corporal punish
ment is forbidden, school boys are con-
fined for twenty-four hours on bread and
| water diet, and subjected to other like
severe and degrading forms of punish
ment.
In Germany and England drawing is
taught generally to pupils of the public
| schools, and oil are thus in some meas
ure prepared for the higher technical
training of the special schools open in
the day time for those who can afford it,
or in the evening for those who are en-
ployed during the day. Drawing il
taught not as an art, but for the sake of
it's training influence, and because of the
immediate value of the knowledge of its
principles to workers in all the trades.
Mr. Mundella. an English authority
on educational statistics, made the pub
lie statement recently that the secular
school instead of being "the goddess
school, as has been represented, had di-
rectly ana largely increased the attend
ance upon the Sunday schools through
out London. Thousands of children
who never went to Sunday school, and
their parents have been so stimulated by
the week day habit of school going that
the Sunday school has been large
gamer.

Apples as Feed.

Mr.. J. N. Bartlett, South Royalston,
Mass, reported in the n. e Farmer last
winter the following satisfactory expert
ence in feeding apples to cows and pigs:
'In 1890. I, in Common with other most
farmers about here, had large quantities
of apples to dispose of. AS soon as the
earliest varieties were fit for domestic
use the imperfect ones were fed to my
COW and pig, the feed of the pig being
mostly apples, from the time it was about
three months old until it was killed in
the following winter; and never raised
better shote. The apples were fed raw. /.
I also began to feed them to my cow at
the same time, but not regularly or uni
formly until the commencement of win
ter. About the middle of November
I began to give the COW. daily, all the
apples that she would eat, which
did not vary much from three
fourths to one bushel per day. not fail
ing to do so in any instance for one day,
until the following spring. This re-
suited in the fine health and thrift of the
COW, the production of excellent milk
and butter, and saving of about one
half of the amount of hay consumed by
the same cow as compared with the win
ter previous. / can hardly attribute
the one-half saving of hay entirely to
an equal nutrition furnished by the
apples consumed, but partly to the bet
ter digestion and assimilation arising
from the admixture OF the green and
dry food SO consumed. 7 have been
feeding the same cow and another pig
with apples in the same way with equal
success the present season, the apples in
every case being ordinary cider apples,
and always used in the whole or raw
state, without any mixture what ever, in
feeding to my COW"

BY THE DEAD.

Here lies the friend we loved so.
How grand the dead face Isl
Is there mystery deeper
In all the world than this?
The lily on her tojonn,
ClaSped close in one cold hand,
Becomes mystic lotus
From some dream haunted land.
And the spell of It's white presence
Is powerful to keep
The world outside the threshold,
And lull her in its sleep.
What strange, unearthly beauty
Is on this face to-day,
So near in its white splend0r,
And yet so far away.
We bend down low to kiss 1t,
And start back with q moan,
For cold as ice OF marble
Ihe warm. dear lips have grown.
She wakes not at our kisses,
She heeds no word we say.
Far from its fair. white palace
The soul has gone away.
How many hopes are folded
In the hands so strangely STILL
How many dreams are ended
In peace so white and chilli
Beneath this dying lily
What warm sweet thoughts once stirred
Half told in loving glances
Ere caught by any word.
Still lids, how much you cover
Away from human sight
All me, for those who love her
What lonesome thoughts tonight
Somewhere in worlds we dream of.
Peyond the graves green sod,
The soul Of her we loved so
Stands face to face vi ith God.
AS birds that dread the winter
Fly southwark to the sun,
Her soul sought endless summer
And oeathless youth is won:
For her heavens gates have opened
To peace that will not end.
She gains all things she longed for,
Aud We-haVe lest q friend

The Vineyard in june

In the month of June vines in
bearing must be approached and
handled with great care, for more
or less damage is sure to follow
any rough interference with the de-
veioping fruit lunches which are al
ready just past boom, ard are on
the point OF setting the fruit, or
blossoms just opening, according to
soil, situation, and climate.
June is indeed one Of the most
critical epochs with the grape, In
the sense that the crop of fruit may
be at any moment compromised,
either by sudden changes OF temper
allure, or by Geld and cOpiOus, or
VAIN and continued rans-all these
weather changes being followed by
the rotting and dropping OF the
fruit in proportion TO their extent
and severity.
New plantations Of vines should
in June, be hoed with care, tor the
object in part, to arrest the growth
OF weeds, and in part to break the
crust OF the soil, in order TO admit
the dews. the rains and the amos"
phere t, penetrate it, and assist In
the preparation Of plant-iOod
In vineyards IN full bealmg'
soon after the lruit has fairly set,
the second disJudding should be
placticed, the object being TO divert
the sap to tue bearing wood and
leaves, and prevent its being was
ted on useless growths.
1t Is finally tue proper time to
finish up the work OF tying up the
vines to stakes or wires, taking
care above all, not to draw the
strings TOO tight, because the young
shoots are yet quite tender.
In this month it is also to be
feared that, under the double in>
fuence Of heat and moisture. the
Vegetation of the vine will become
too active, to tie detriment Of the
iruit on the bearing wood. In case
this danger nenacts, in can, in a
measure, be avoided by pinching
the terminals OF the shoots, or b,
making amLular incisions near the
bases both OF the wood and fruit
branches.
The flow Of sap having been in d
measure, anestcd, grating the vine
may lie practcev without darger

it were, by the flood u sap which
