ing. a large lung, developed by
abundant exercise. burns away the

fattening. On the other hand, q
small lung and small liver, though
they render the possessor much more
delicate, are favorable to fattening.
The experiments of Messrs. Lawes
and Gilbert shoW-lD That large
portion of the fat of he herbiyora
fattened for human food must be de-
rived from substances other than the
fatty matter in the food. (2) That
when fattening animals are fed upon
their most appropriate food, much OF
their stored up fat must be produced
from the carbohydrates it contains.
81 That the heterogeneous substances
may also serve as source of tat,
more especially when they are in ex-
cess So that We may affirm that
while the heterogeneous substances of
the food undoubtedly maintain the
tissues of the animal body and pro-
duce flesh, they also produce fat and
heat. In animals nature provides In a
time of plenty for some Of their re-
quirements in time of scarcity.
Starch and sugar maintain heat and
vitality; but unless there is a supply
of the fats and oils the progress will
be slow, because the maintenance OF
the vital principles taxes the latter.
All vegetable foods vary with the
age of the plants yielding them, and
the soil they grow upon. Hence the
care necessary in selecting seeds for
laying down pastures and in cutting
and harvesting hay and straw.
When grass-is comparatively young il
ab0unds in fesh-forming substances
and in sugar. As the plant ripens
the sugar becomes changed into starch
and the starch into wood fibre. This
shows the desirability of cutting all
grass crops for hay before they have
fully ripened. Cattle fed upon over
ripened hay have to consume some
thirteen or fourteen per cent. more
ofindigestible woody fibre. Some ex-
periments in feeding with hay alone
have shown that in a large OK the
store condition may be maintained by
giving it about one-fftieth of its own
live weight per day; or, if working
one-for,ieth. \ fattening OK, having
nothing else, will consume from one
twentieth 10 one twenty fifth Of its
live weight, according to the degree
of fairness it has attained. Sheep are
said to consume about one-thirtieth
part of their live weight of hay per
day These figures will show us that
when hay commands a good price in

Drinking too Much.


Children are not apt to believe that
they drink too much water, and vel
they do. When you come to the
house painting, and thiisty from playD
you viii take a tnmbler of water and
drink it down as fast as you can, and
then rush to resume your play, and
perhaps repeat the drink. Now, the
next tine you feel thirsty, try this
experiment. Take goblet of water
and slowly sip It. Before It has halt
gone your thirst will be fully qneneh-
ed, and You viii feel better for only
having drank that which You need.
And again, we are all apt to acquire
the habit Of drinking while eating our
meals. Animals don't do 1t, and tits
hurtfulto rs. Nature gave Us all the
saliva re need; and If any one viii

\. .. States.

\. o. States.
There exists in New England Di
yorce Reform League, inaugural ed
to wage war against the excessive
granting of divorce DEGREES. At the
meeting ofthis League in Philadelphia
last week, there were brought out
some startling statistics in relation to
this subject. Mr. Dixie, che leading
spirit Of the League, who has been
gathering facts ir relation to divorce,
says that the number has doubled in
the last twenty-five or thirty years in
the Northern States. Four Of the
New England States show an increase
Of 80 per cent from 1860 to 1878.
In Rhode Island and New Hampshire
one out Of every ten marriages, in
late years, have ended in divorces.
Philadelphia shows an increase in di-
vorces of nearly 500 per cent; in
twenty years, with an increase of pop
ulation of 66 per cent; while the
number in New York has increased
from 218 divorces in 1880 to 400 in
1883. Ohio showed in 1882 one di.
vorce to every sixteen marriages;
Chicago, one to thirteen; and the same
in Louisville. San Francisco stands
at the head of the cities in this regard
the ratio of divorces to marriages
there last year being as one to five and
eight-tenths. The chiefobjects of the
League are to stimulate the clergy
Ren to more careful examination
of persons who ask to be married, and
lead them to sterner moral ground
upon this subject than many of them
do now, and to bring influence to
bear upon the State Legislatures to
reduce the number of causes for which
divorce can be granted.

improvement OfNative Cattle

Scarcely a man, old or young. ever
hears of a notable thing done but
he thinks to himself Il could have.
done that. It is either want q op-
portunitv or absence Of thought -
that particular direction, and the lat
ter is By far the more frequent than
the former. & genius -or what Is
precisely the same thing, a successful
man-makes his own opportunities.
tHe gives his mind to his special idea,
cuItiYates it, perfscts it, and finds
place for it at once. It is precisely
thus with regard to the improvement
| Of our live stock. Let us take the
Shorthorns as representing the beef
cattle and the Jerseys as the type OF
dairy stock. These breeds have
both been made. 1t one time they
were the common races of their local
ity-scrubs, Just as We call our COM
mon stock. But men conceived the
idea of improving them. Bates and
his neighhors ia the north Of England
bred the Shorthorns, and few farm
ers in the island of Jersey cultivated
that race. And now these two breeds
are the most noted and valued of cat
tie. 1t will not do to despise popu-
Iarity. There is something always
back of success in everything and it
is wholly wrong to think the men who
have paid thousands of dollars for
Shorthorns and Jerseys were fools
with whom their money was soon
parted. And every farmer may learn
a lesson from the facts and the sug-
gestions which we have offered. We
have a really excellent native" race
ofcattle, which We in orr carelessness
not to say ignorance, are content to
call scrubs" But, like the modest,
retiring farmer who is rarely seen
or heard of, but his work keeps the
world going, these scrubs cows arc
doing a vast work. They produce ever
year a thousand million pounds of
butter and four hundred million
pounds Of cheese. And yet no one
has ever taken them-"by the hand,
we were about to say-with an in
tention Of eleyating and lettering
their positions in life. But noble
blood flows in their veins; the best Of
it, for out of it have come all the noted
breeds. And it is quite as amena-
bic as theirs to improvement. Here
is vast field for cultivation. And
any farmer who gives hic mind perse-
veringly to the pursuit can do what
Others have done and make a great
| improvement in our native race.
He can select the best, and bring in
new blood for, the best animals he can
find and perseveringly stick to his
/ work. never looking back, and gain
~ little every year, until he doubles
1.-THE product Of his COW. This is
not difficult to do if the right way is
taken. The way we have been pr
suing is the wrong one No matter
what animal Is used when Il calf is
wanted, the cow viii milk and the
calf is deaconed or yealed. Ii is a
grand record of our despised scrubs
that IN spite oil such treatment they
are still fairly good cows on the ave
rage And they deserve better treat
ment. and will well repay every far
mer or dairyman who will give their
just deserts in the way Of improving
| them. New York Times.

Relics of the War.-A wOman's Wit

Cor Inter-Ocean.
Mrs. Clark, the author of "A mod
ern Hagar," married a promine
Southern lawyer before the war. He
has since died, and she has come into
a small patrimony recently by the
death ofan eccentric relative in New
Orleans. She was once engaged to
be married to Gen, Burnside; and
actually appeared berore the altar
with him. The thouht struck her,
as she says, before she uttered the
irrevocable words that she was NAL :
ing mistake. Soin few words she
made known her conclus ons to the
expectant grooml and the waiting
minister, and retired from the scene
as gracefully as possible. They only
met once after that. 1t was during
the war. Mrs Clark was commiss-
Toned to carry important dispatches TO
Jefferson Davis. To do this she had
to pass the Union lines. She baked
a painful of raised biscuits, and she
hid the Edispatch in them. While
travelling South she was arrested on
suspicion. Learning that General
Burnside had command of the near
est division 9th Northrn forces, she
demanded to be brought before him.
He recognized her. She said she was
going to Mobile, and asked for a pass
and a discharge. He only hesitated
for moment, and then wrote one out
in silence and handed it to her.
"Does that basket contain your
lunch?" he asked, pointing toa small
basket which she carried in her hand.
yes" "Let me see it." She open
ed the basket, displaying the biscuits.
"WilI you try one, General?" They
are very hard" The General refused
to taste the profered dainty, and or
dered guard for her, and then put
her on the car himself. The dis
patches were SO important that she
received the thanks of the Confed-
eracy for her services, and was lion
zed through the South, where she
served in Southern hospitals for a long
time afterwards.

of these things the better. Have
only enough show for proper respect

We are getting to ningle adversely
