A Legacy.

"Sire!" exclaimed a mar in the homely
garb of a mechanic to Richelieu, the prime
minister Of France, as he was entering his
palace; "Sire, I have made q discovery which
7'shall make rich and great the nation which
''shall develop it. Sire, will you give me an
'~'audience?'
Richelieu, constantly importuned, finally
ordered the 'madman'' imprisoned. Even in
Jail he did not desist from declaring his 'de.
%lusion." which one day attracted the atten-
ton Of q British nobleman, who heard De
Causes story, and developed his discovery of
steam power!
All great discoveries are at first derided.
Seven years ago a man yet under middle
age, enriched by a business which covered
the continent, found himself suddenly strick-
en- down. When hisphysicians said recovery
was impossible, he used a new discovery,
which, like all advances in science, had been
opposed bitterly by the schoolmen. Never
theless, it cured him, and out Of gratitude
therefor he concentrated a part Of his wealth
to the spreading of it's merits before the
world. Such in brief is the history Of War
ner's safe cure, which was won, according
to the testimony Of eminent persons, the most
deserved reputation ever accorded to any
known compound, and which Is finally win
ming on it's merits alone the approval OF the
most conservative practitioners. Its fame
now belts the globe.-Ihe Herdtd.

Farm and Garden Notes.

1t is claimed by some that a small
quantity of lime in each hill of potatoes
is a sure preventive against scab.
Most farmers agree that both the yie'd
and quality of potatoes are ~unfavorably
affected when grown upon the same
piece of ground several years in success
sion.
1t is generally conceded by those who
have experimental with different kinds
of fertilizers, hat unleached wood ashes
are among the best that can be used for
fruit orchards.
Grapes hung up in a dark place so
that the punches do not come in con-
tact will keep for weeks, when if they
are piled on a dish or in a basket they
will soon decay.
Some farmers who have tried the ex-
pertinent, claim that the ravages of cut
worms and wire worms can, in a meas
ure, be prevented, by blowing the land
just before the ground freezes in the
fall.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Green Food Versus Dry Food for Cows

Green Food Versus Dry Food for Cows
Professor j. w. Sanborn, of the
Missouri Agricultural college, says:
For three years I have carried on very
careful experiments with green food
versus dry food for COWS during the
summer season, weighing food, growth
or decline in weight of COWS, weight of
milk and weight Of bulks. With the
present price and plcntitude of good
pasture, clover, timothy and grains
in Missouri, I very seriously doubt the
propriety of handling daily in little lots
BY high-priced labor water.laden green
food for our dairy or other herds.
Rural branching sorghum. or milo
maize, claims q more favorable notice as
a forage plant. 1t has remarkable till
ing %propensities and a very large pro-
portion of leaf to stem growth. When
cut to the ground new and often an in
creased number of shoots spring up, and
gain a luxuriant leaf development for a
second crop, of which COWS are very
fond. It makes good growth on the
college farm and warrants attention by
those who are looking for q substitute
for ordinary corn and clover.

One of the best preventives agains st
lice in the nests of sitting hens is to-
bacco refuse, such as the sweepings of
cigar factories. By the use of such, with
coal oil on the roosts and the frequent
busting of all parts of the poultry house
with insect powder there need be no
fear of lice.
Professor Arthur says that the blight
which attacks the apple and ounce is
the same as pear blight and that the
bacteria which are the probable cause of
the disease, may live and multiply in
infusions of corr meal, hay, %barnyard
manure, green fruits, starch, etc. He
recommends burning all diseased
branches removed.
An Ohio fruit grower rids his bushes
from currant worms by sprinkling freely
with the following mixture: One part
of thick, sour milk, two parts of coal oil,
churned together and diluted with from
twelve to fifteen times it's bulk of water.
A solution of saltpetre is q remedy COM
lug into general use by Eastern garden

Some farmers who would not think of
neglecting their horses, neglect their
poultry shamcfully. 1t would he well to
consider that in these times there is no
more profitable source of income on the
farm for the outlay, than the poultry.
As a rule those who say hens don't pay
are the ones who ought to say hens don't
pay when neglected. No live stock
pays in the long run if not fairly cared
for.

Many a man loses money on his stock
for sale by failing to keep himself posted
on marke. values. He should understand
what is meant by the several grades, as
recognized in the market reports. He
must understand quality as met within
these several grades. That is why n
bunch, or an animal of a class, is worth
more than another. In fat animals this
depends partly on how much per cent-of
meat will be given per 100 of carcasses,
and also on the texture (quality) of the
flesh. If he know little of these no
should make q careful study thereof, or
else leave the selling to n who does
know.

d For Stock.

There is a great diversity of opinion
among farmers as to the value of apples
for stock, many advising against their
use. So good an authority, however, as
the Massachusetts, Pt'oughman says the OBJ
lection to apples as fodder arises in most
cases from a foolish prejudice. Almost
all farm animals are very fond Of apples.
They like good ripe ones best, but they
will take such as they can get and be
thankful for them. Farm stock, particu-
larly the cattle and swine, may consume
as many of the windfall apples as they
like without harm. Green apples could
not show by a~nalysisa very high feeding
value. Neither do turnips show a high
value by analysis, but both are liked by
stock, and animals do better fed upon
them moderately than if the apples or
roots are withheld.
In feeding apples to COWS not accus-
toned to ealing them, it is we'll to feed
them in the stall, if convenient, and to
give only a few quarts at once, increas-
ing the quantity as judgment may die.
tate. Acow that is accustomed to them
may safely consume a half bushel of
mellow apples per dayif she will take so
many. Very hard or unripe ones should
be given in smaller quantities. A grow
ing hog will eat from three to six quarts
per day. and will be benefited by them.
If q half bushel Of sour apples is thrown
to a hog at once, he may &c. sick of
them, or get his teeth sore SO he will
want no more, just as children some
times get sick from eating fruit or other
good things in excess, but a few given
three times a day tends to keep the ap-
petite good. Work horses may also
have a handful of good apples given
them occas' oually with their evening
meal. Sheep are excellent stock to run
in orchards to clean up the wormy fruit
as it falls, only the flock should be large
enough so they will not get surfeited by
eating too many.
