A foreign paper claims that full feed
of hay to horses, following the feeding of
concentrated food, is wasteful, for the
reason that it crowds the fret out of the
stomach before proper digestion has been
accomplished. And so, in order to secure
best results, hay should be fed at first,
and the concentrated food aftefward, which
leaves it to become fully digested, with no
danger of being crowded away or out of the
performance of its desired purpose.
Regarding sheep, John L. Thompson, of
Areona, Ind, thinks croJs OF the Shrop-
shire and Merino is more profitable when
the ram is of the Shropshire breed, as the
lambs are harder and more vigorous, and
require less care. He says the wool is of
good quality, and estimates the average
clipping from such crossed animal to be
about eight podnds of clean wool.
1t has been well demonstrated that in
case OF all live stock clean and open con-
diton of the skin is conducive to health
and economical feeding, and no labor in
the barns is more prohtably expended
than that which is employed in thorough
cleaning, not only of the horses, but also Of
the cattle when kept in stables.
The best litter is that which will absorb
the largest quantity of liquid manure. In
this connection Boussingunet places bean,
buckwheat and pulse straw first, as they
absorb three times their weight of liquid,
wheat straw but twice its weight, and
dried earth but one-halt its weight.
Professor Brown, of the Ontario Agri.
cultural College, says that, Judging from
his experiments with dairy cows, no other
breed can touch the Devons in registering
high specific gravity and weight of
cheese from milk.
1t is not good policy to let work horses
get thin. 1t costs more - put on heah
than to keep it on. Flesh that becomes
hardened by exercise viii be kept up with
less feed under the same work than it took
to put it on.
Live pear trees are recommended as
posts for barbed wire fence, on the ground
that the pear tree is very long lived, and
the iron which would become imbedded

At the Turner, Me, cheese factory the
past season Ga, $50 pounds of cheese were
made, and it took an average of eight
pounds and ten.sixteenths of an ounce of
milk to make a pound of green cheese.
At the st. Louis fair q Holstein bull,
Jumbo, from Michigan, was on exhibition.
He weighed $500 pounds, being heavier
than any animal Of the shorthorn, Angus,
or Hereford breeds.
A gallon of milk is said to have food
value equal to two pounds of beef. But
farmers sell milk for 10 or y cents a gal
Ion, and buy beef at % and 80 cents per
pound.
1t is said that in Canada the Mediterra-
mean, Scott and Michigan amber wheats
are most preferred. Fultz wheat, which is
priced highly IN most parts, is not liked
there.

MYSTERIOUS MINERS.

The following is from the Kootenai
Idaho Courier Last Chance was the last
town along the line of the Northern Pa.
cifc, the last place at which liquor could
be sold this side of the JACKIE Indian Re-
serve, being Immediately on the line of the
reserve. 1t is about seventy. five miles
east of Heron. Two Frenchmen recently
came into Last Chance who had been
known fer years in the mining camps of
Oregon and Idaho. They have created
sensation by the display of half dozen
buckskin bags filled with gold dust and
nuggets, from the size of bird shot to that
of walnut. The story runs that for years
past these men have been in the habit of
spending most of their time in the frontier
camps, but now and then they would dis.
appear for a month OF six weeks and sud-
denly reappear with their pouches well
filed With dust. OF course they are sup
posed TO visit some placer country of fabu-
lous richness, where. by few days work,
they were able to extract the two or three
thousand dollars which they spend with
lavish hand during their sojourn in camp.
Attempts have been made to follow them
on their excursions. which usually resulted
in their hiding in the mountains and elud-
ing pursuit, but one claims to have fol-
lowed them into the Koosenai country to a
point near the British line, where narrow
pass was reached, and that while one went
on the other mounted guard with a Win
chester rifle. He attempted to approach
the sentinel, but was ordered to halt
accompanied by the discharge of the rifle.
The companion Immediately appeared, as
if the shot was mutually understood sig
nal, and the intruder was ordered to leave
the vicinity under pain of death. The TO-
mantle setting CT the story makes it eX.
tremely interesting, and many of the old
frontiersmen place implicit faith in its
entire truth, citing as basis of their con.
fidence the fact that the men do disappear
and invarisbly return with plenty of gold
but we hesrd no satisfactory reason given
for the failure to find that narrow pass and
penetrate the mysteries beyond.

agricultural Eotes.

The United States lastyear produced 420,.
l54, 500 busbela of wheat. of which amount
California furnished prominent portion.
The wheat yield of this country was four
tenths that of the entire production of
Europe, and about double that of any
single European country. The shortage in
the crop Of 1883, as compared with 1882,
was of about the same ratio in America
and Europe namely, Is, 00O, 900 bushels in
the former, and 200, 600, 900 in the latter
Should the threatened dry season of 1854
in California become real, the shortage on
this side of the Atlantic would be far more
marked in the total yield of 1884, There
is, however, sufficient time still for all
needed rain, and for a most abundant
harvest, and IL is lot wise to accept
shadows and evil in place of sunshine and
good, until fixed necessity for it exists.
The amount Of wheat grown in each of
the European countries is well indicated by
the yield given for the past two years, and
which ia a matter OF interest to other
wheat producing sections. The figures are
~ fol1oyrs.

AN 1NDo-cHINRsE BKgE RABBIT.

One night, in very thick forest, the
elephant began bowling and the tiger re-
piled with howliDgs still more dismal.

TO their dens. The elephant himself loaJ

speed till he met the hare, who said
What are you running away for? :"
Don't you hear that dreadful tiger
Would you have NE stOp to be eaten up -
Never fear" said the hare "just sit
down and let me jump on your back and
I'll warrant no harm will happen to you.
Before he jumped up, the hare had put a
big bit of betel into his mouth and had let
a stream of red saliva run down the ele.
plants back by the time the tiger came
up. "What do you want here ?" said the
hare quite hercely, without giving the
o5her time to cay a word. Don't you
see this elephant isn't too much for me
Do you think I'll let you go shares ?" So,
seeing, as he supposed, the blood, the tiger
got behind a tree to watch. The hare
then bit the elephants ear, and the ele-
plant as had been agreed between them.

said tae tiger; but he staid
minute longer to watch. So the
hare, who seemed quite master
of his prey, cried "Wait minute,
and I'll come to you next, and looked so
much as though he was getting ready for
a spring, that the tiger got frightened and
turned tail. As he went off, swinging
through the jungle, chimpanzee burst out

to him. " What, to be eaten up, too ?"
Come, now; don't be in fright I'll
jump on your back, and we'll tie our tails
together, and then we shall run no risk.
After much persuasion the tiger went back,
but as he was coming near the hare chewed
q fresh bit Of betel, and as the red saliva
streamed down, " You dare to come back :"
he shouted stop minute, and I'll pun
ish you as you deserve" At the same time
he nuSged the elephant, who uttered an
agonizAg cry, while the hare made a great
leap on his sham victims back. Again the
tiger lost heart, and rushed away at full
speed, crying TO the chimpanzee, "Now
you see I'd something to be afraid Of
