The main building of the Now
Orleans exhibition is in some RS
poets the most remarkable edit &c
ever built in this country, Ii is
much the largest exposition building
ever erected in the world. The ;r-
chitect has succeeded, at a moders te
cost, in producing the largest sing ie
room, every part of which can Re
seen from any point, of which there
Is any knowledge. The building is
1878 feet long, by COS feet willie
and covers 33 acres, or IL acres more
than the Philadelphia centennial ex-
.position of 1876. There are / $50
500 square feet of floor space, incl /
ding gallery. The reader may for n
a better impression of the vast 1 !
mansions of the structure by ina :
lining three ordinary city blocks one
way and five the other, covered BY
solid roof. And, if he chooses TO
allow his fancy to carry him still
farther, he can picture a monster
panorama of the worlds industry
extending before his vision uninter-
rupted by single object except tie

Proportion OF Meat to Feed.

Some American stockmen are now ex-
crossing gro at care in determining the
exact quantity of food consumed to pro-
duce given increase of live weight in
animals, and also the relative proper
tons of meat to offaL
The Fat Stock Shows at Chicago have
done much to stimulate experiments in
this direction, and will do much more.
Some of the agricultural experiment
stations are engaged in this special
work. A general conclusion thus far
is, that well-bred, acknowledgement
oxen should yield SO to 60 pounds Of
dressed carcass to 100 pounds OF live
weight; while an excessively fat OK may
give from 90 up to even 20 per cent.
Moderately fattened shorn sheep should
dress 6S per cent. of the live weight; ex-
cessively fat as high as 65 per cent.
The relation of the dressed to the live
weight is so we'll understood by butch
ers, who buy beef cattle in the great
New York markets; that the sales and
prices are there based upon the dressed
weight of the four quarters. Thus IL
good quality cattle are reported at ten
cents. it means SO much per pound for
VIVA the four quarters will weigh. An
old rule is that the AZ pounds of offal,
that is, the hide, loose tallow, head,
heart, legs. etc.. will pay the butcher
well for killing and dressing, Thus a
bullock that will turn the scales at l.
40 pounds, VIII give about $50 pounds
in the quarters, in which form they
would be worth $50. 90 ut 10 cents per
pound. If the same weight animal
dresses 90 pounds 10 the 100, then there
would be GIL pounds id the quarters.
and the buyer could pay $1,000 for the
animal, and his carcass would still
stand him in only 10 cents per pound,
In that market while the beef cattle are
usually sold at so much a head for q
certain lot, the buyer in making up his
offer, estimates for both the live weight
and the percentage that they will dress
though the scales are more resorted
to than in former years; and then the
purchaser makes an offer based upon
the dressed percentage.
But feeder needs to make far mere
careful estimates, or weighings, to know
how much feed, and its cost, he is using
from day to day to secure the increase
Of weight each of his animals is max
ing. This will lead to the inquiry
whether other feed, or a combination of
feed, may not produce like results with
less expense and more profit. 1t will
lead to another observation, also, rs to
the comparative values of different
breeds and grades as machines for
changing feed into meat Prairie Farm

Ventilation.

1t is true that cold draugnt is dan
gerous: cit Stays like a sword" But
impure air is no better, and IL one
causes pneumonia the other creates con-
sumption. Bringing air through the
furnace fues is all very well, provided
it is taken from a pure source of sup
ply. But If, as in most cases, the cold
air box of the furnace ends over damp,
dirty area adjoining one of our unswept
aud filthy streets, the supply is far
from wholesome. DR.. Loomis and 9TH
or specialists have since pointed out the
bad effects of New York dust upon the
human lungs, yet the dusty air from our
streets is sucked into ten thousand fur
mace cold-air boxes, and is the chief
lung-food of our population. Because
this air has been warmed it does not
follow that it is wholesome.
1t Is perfectly easy to prevent a draft
by raising the sash few inches, and,
placing a narrow board in the place be-
low, 80 that the cold air will enter be-
tween the upper and lower sash, and be
detected toward the ceiling without
causing any annoyance to persons in
the room. There are number of pat
ented devices for the same purpose, but
Tue arrangement mere UeSCf1be0 can be
adopted by any one at the cost of few
cents. The chief difficulty about venti-
lating most dwelling houses Is that there
are not sufficient means of carving of
the foul and heated air. If provision is
supplied for doing this, then plenty of
fresh air will leak through the window

houses are not tightly bu 1t. Great
benefit may be obtained from open fire.

The art of ventilation has been called

was an entirely developed at. In our
modern houses and fats, with their
masses of upholstering and decoration
to obstruct the sunlight and prevent
free circulation of air. and with tbe
many sources of impurity, such as cook

and still more the gaslights and steam

Afraid or the Geese.

"Georgie, do you want to go to tho
orchard with me while hang up the
clothesp"
"Oh yes, yes, yes. Barbie." said
Georgia, clapping his hands. He was
always glad TO go to the orchard with
some one; but he was afraid to go
alone. he was such little fellow. He
felt sure Barbie would take Just as good
care OF him as mamma always did; but
when the clothes were hung up. Barbie
went to the house without saying
word to George.
The little boy very soon found that he
was alone, and set up q loud cry. This
who were nibbling grass near by, and
they all came around him. No doubt
they wondered what small thing it was
that stood so still and made such O
noise. 1t couldn't be goose, though
George was not much bigger than o
goose, and, you may think, acted much
like one. Was it something good to
eatp
They quacked to each other these
questions, and then they began to nib
bic his fingers. Georges cries grew
louder and his tears fell faster, and oh,
how far away the house seemed, and
there were no windows looking out
upon the orchardl He would run, but
he was afraid the geese would knock
him down with their wings. II he
stood still he was afraid they would eat
him up. and mamma would never
know where her little boy had gone to.
Oh, he must get home to mamma;
and giving one great, big. frightened
yell, he started aud ran, expecting the
next moment to feel the strong white
wings beating him TO the ground; but to
his great surprise the geese made no
objections to his going, and he was soon
showing his bleeding fingers to mamma
and telling the Story of his wonderful
escape. Mamma listened. and kissed
the little tinger-tips and bound them up

The Milking Time.

So strangely impressed upon the
cow is the time at which she is MIXED
fhat she becomes anxious for the opera
ton before the period of milking ar
rives. The uddcr, which was emptied
in the morning. gradually becomes dis
tended and painful as evening advances,
and as the pressure at q certain time
becomes habitual, the animal will regu-
larly, if allowed, be prompt at an exact
time to be MIXED. But this Is only the
case with cows that are MIXED at regu.
lar hours, not fifteen minutes too soon,
or half an hour later, but at the correct
moment The consequence is that there
will be fewer cows that may engage in
the vice of "holding up the milk" as
the force of regularity will overcome
many of the inducements that prompt
them to depart from proper habits. and
during the night. as she chews
her cud and the milk accumu.
lates, she will quickly become
habituated TO look forward to the
hour, so regular, when she will be
MIXED and relieved of her incum-
brance. When the udder is allowed
to distend unusually the pain is some
times very severe, and the disposition
OF the cow injured thereby. to say
nothing of the nervous irritability TO
which she will be subjected, and in the
course of short time the quantity of
milk becomes less and the COW ruined
in temper. If, on the contrary. she be
MIXED before the regular hour, the Pc
Rod between that milking and the sue
ceeding one is heightened exactly in
proportion as the first method shortens
it; the cow, in the meantime, being de-
prived of regularity, loses much OF tho
training taught her. by beginning to
overcome the habit OF expectation of
the regular period, and the consequences
viii be less regularity in feeding as
well.-Fdrn. Field and Fireside.
