Wasteful Feeding.

We find, as we look about, that many
farmers arc very careless as to the feed
ing of their cattle and horses, and that
much is lost in consequence. Too much
hay is often fed to horses. and they
waste a good part of it. Horses and
cattle are fed irregularly, and so the
food does not do as much good as if fed
regularly. Corn and other coarse fod-
der is thrown down for cattle, often tc
be trodden under foot rather than
eaten. 1t is % essential to the well
being and prosperity of the animal to
be fed well and regularly. as it is for
the human race. Those who keep ami
mails should seek to make the most of
them, and in order to do this they
should receive proper care and atten-
tion. Those who have never tried the
experiment would be surprised to see
what a saving can be made by proper
feeding and care. We believe enough
can be saved by proper care, over loose,
slovenly and careless ways, to make in
itself fair profit on the business. Ii
there are any who have, heretofore,
been among the careless in these mat.
ters, we nope they will try a better way.
and see the good results that will fol-

DrTneSs in the Fruit House.

After low and even temperature il
secured, the other essentials in pre-
serving fruit are: darkness; an air tight
room. to retain the carhcnic acid giver
off the fruit. and dry atmosphere.
AS stated elsewhere Up. 425), fruit
in ripening gives of both carbonic ano
acid water, or mois:ure. The carbonic
acid, by excluding the oxygen of the
air. aids in preserving the fruit. Ills
ture is undesirable, IS it hastens decay.
I he only elective faethod OF removing
it is by exposing in he room some sub
stance that will absGfb it. The French
use Horde of Calcium. which is q
very different substance from Chloride
of Lime. This salt bas such an avidity
for moisture, that it takes it from the
air of the room and l-ecomes liquifed.
The objection to th.s is its expense.
An American experir'enter has found
substitute in the "bit'arn," or waste
material of the salt works. which is
thrown away. This is mainly a very
impure chloride OF calcium, and an
swers the purpose. III. bittern, in a
large iron pan, is exposed in the fruit
room. When it has become liquifed
BY the moisture absorbed, the pan is
set over a fire and the salt dried, by
driving off the water it has absorbed,
when it is again ready for use. This
process may be repeated indefinitely

Live Fence Posts.

If wire fences are to come into uni.
versal use there appears to be no good
reason why all OF our outlands should
not be surrounded with'a line of trees a
proper distance apart to serve as posts;
this would save the expense Of posts
and at the same time secure perma-
Dent fence.
Around fields that are to be plowed
and cultivated, there would be an OBJ
lection on account of the roots; but
around pastures there not only seems
to be no objection, bit positive ad-
vantage secured by the shade which the
trees would afford.
In setting trees for this purpose care
should be taken. to set durable trees.
and also trees adapted to the soil and
the climate. Some localities require
one kind, and other localities quite q
different kind. Within fifteen or twen-
ty miles of the ocean the red cedar
would be one of the best for this pur-
pose; it will grow on any soil from q
stiff clay to dry sand or gravel 1t is
true it will not make quite as rapid
growth as some other trees, but it bears
transplanting as well as most teciduous
trees, and will soon begin to grow; by
the third. and often the second year
after set, it will grow as fast as if left
to grow where the Seeding first started.
The locust would be still better tree
if it were not for the borer that gets
into the trunk, often in such numbers as
to Kill the tree. This is very rapid
growing tree, and yet would not grow
10, 70 ,t,nr. Io
Where the borer does not work this
would be an excellent tree for live fence
posts. =
The chestnut would make an excel
lent tree for posts if it did not grow so
large; it grows very rapidly and runs
up straight, but when standing single it
grows very large.
The black walnut is quick growing
tree and it grows in good form for
post.
The white ash in some localities
would be good tree, but occasionally
would in time get too large.
The red maple is easy TO transplant,
grows well. and would make a very
good tree for posts in wet land.
The walnut would also make good
tree on dry land. but it is very diticult
to transplant it, and the time required
to get it large enough for a post would
be an objection.
He who attempts to surround his
land with live fence posts should first
make himself so familiar with the habits
of the different trees that he may not
make mistake by setting the wrong
trees on the different soils which sur
round his farm. Massachusetts Plough

Examine the newly -thrashed wheat
after it has been put in the bins for a
few weeks, and ii damp or heating it
should be run through tanning mill to
cool the air in it, or it should be spread
upon barn-foor and shoveled over

wheat in bins is to have stick like a
fork-handle constantly stuck its length
down into the grain; by pulling 1t up
and feeling with the bare hand any heat

In the economies of tree-life water
is something akin to the circulation OF
the blood of animals; it is through and
by means of water that nutrition and
growth takes place. 1t is estimated
that three tons of water day are used
by the largest trees, and thrown into
the atmosphere in the form of vapor.
and it is this vapor that causes the
cooler and damper atmosphere of for

conserving influences in the manifold
economics of vegetable and animal Life.

Horses Travelling UnshOd.

Whether shoeing is necessary or not
remains to be tested to the satisfaction
of the majority. Some believe that
shoes can not be dispensed with on the
cobble-stones of the cities. but are in
clined to the opinion that shoes are not
altogether necessary on soft, sandy or
light, gravelly roads. In Chicago a
gentleman neglected to shoe his horse
and allowed it to work on the cobble-
stonss. At first the feet became some
what sore and the hoofs cracked and
seemed very brittle. In time, how
ever the hoofs began to harden in
texture, became callous to the hard
usage, until now the owner declares he
would not use shoes again under any
circumstances. Just here we desire to
call attention to the subject. Ii the
feet, by direct contact with the earth,
improve and the tenderness and brittle
ness of the hoof is changed, it may be
possible that those who have attempted
to work their horses unshod have be-
come alarmed at what they supposed
lameness, wheL little patience would
have demonstrated the method as FEAST
hle. ANY one who is accustomed to
wearing shoes finds it very inconven-
lent to walk barfooted for a few days,
but after Is short time the feet become
i1sensible to substances with which they
come in contact, and enc then easily
manages to walk on the stones. gravel,
in the sand, water. or even upon sharp
substances, without the least difficulty.
Thus il may be with horses when the
shoes are removed. They will find
walking awkward and the feet may be-
come sore, but after lapse of time
they will be able to pull over the worst
kind of roads. so far as our own opin-
ions are concerned, we have not given
the matter test; but the experience Of
those who have tried working horses
without shoes can not be ignored. II
will be bard to convince most persons
that shoeless horses are able TO en-
dure the hard cobble-stones. but that
horses may work upon good country
roads is within the limit of possibility.
1t would not be troublesome expert
ment if farmers should put the matter
10 test by leaving the shoes OF one or
two for COMPARISON. If we could work
our horses anywhere without shoes it
would be great saving in the course
Of n year, not only financially but from
the inconvenience so often expert
snced when horses are to be shod dur
ing busy tlme.-F.eLd AMI F,esiae.

And predisposed to colo.

Parish Commissioners to the
Exposition.
q. Times-D Democrat, MAY 81

In. o. Times-Democrat, May
A large number of parishes have al
ready selected commissioners to the
Worlds Exposition, and taken steps to
insure handsome parish exhibits there.
They have made appropriations for a
display their commissioners have been
here to inspect the grounds and decide
upon q location and they have, in
deed, made every arrangement pos
sible. On the other hand, several par
ishes are still backward and have TAX
en- no action whatever in the matter,
not even having appointed commission
ers. 1t is to be hoped that they will
wake up and begin work before it is too
late.
1t is especially desirable, indeed, me-
cessary, if Louisiana wishes to profit
by this Exposition which is to be held
here at New Orleans, to it's great bene-
fit and advantage, that this State
should make the very handsomest dis
play possible. 1t will have such an
opportunity, as will not be given it in
a century, Of showing it's advantages,
its wealth and resources; it will find
the world here ; it will enter in compe-
tition, not only with the South, but
with the West, with Europe, Asia and
South America. IfLouisiana is supe-
rior in anything, if there is any crop or
product in which it excels-as we be-
lieve it does in many-here is an OPP
portunity TO prove it.
This, however, can only be done by
organization and energy. The plan
suggested for securing a handsome
Louisiana exhibit is excellent. It
proposes the collection in each parish
of the finest articles to be
found there, and from these to
make a fine State display. This will
create a natural and healthy jealousy
and activity between the parishes, and
bring out the largest and best display.
But to do this it will be necessary that
every parish should cooperate and
work to this grand end. Each must
appoint commissioners, each must be-
gin the collection in ample time. If
there is any neglect to act or postpone
action. it will defeat the project to
hayS a complete, thorough and perfect
exhibit Of all Louisiana's resources,
products and manufactures. Let the
procrastinating parishes act at once, by
appointing as commissioners their best
citizens, earnest and energetic men,
who will take this matter in hand at
once, SO that it will not be said that
any portion of this State is SO barren,
unfrnitful, that it has nothing to exhibit.
