occurs, with loss of appetite and falling

Modern Egyptian Houses.

The towns on che Egyptian shore of
the Red Sea stand along the borders of
the khors which come from the noun
tains back of them, and find their way
through many shallow channels to the
sea. These channels, which are dry
t~hree-fourths of the year, are the pass
age ways or streets of the villages. The
houses stand on the slightly higher
ground between the channels; they are
scattered about in perfectly irregular
manner. The better class of houses are
hui constructed: First a framework is
made of boughs and branches of the
acacia trees. Then a waiting of straw
is woven closely amongst the boughs of
roof and sides, so as to make a water
proof covering for the interior. Around
the houses of the chiefmen Enclosures of
similar construction are made to keep
prying eyes from peering into the sacred
precincts of the harem within. The
huts of the poorer people are mere tent
shaped structures lightly covered with
skins of animals, or with coarse mating.

STRAW.
The Use of Straw as Food for Cattle and
Because of Its Manurial Value.

The Use of Straw as Food for Cattle and
Because of Its Manurisl Value.
The question is asked if straw has any
important food value, and whether it
would not be better to use it wholly as
bedding and to increase the manure
pile?
This view was prevalent with farmers
a few years ago., and especially was
this held by English farmers. With
them straw was regarded as only val
liable to litter a yard and make manure.
These views arose from a misunder-
standing of food elements, and the val
liable elements of manure
Straw contains SO little albuminoid
matter to grow the muscles, and phos-
phate of lime to build the bones that it
was properly considered poor food in
the light Of a complete ration but:
when considered as a partial food
to be supplemented by other
food which balances its def
tant value as cattle food. Its principal
value as a food is in its digestible carbo-
hydrates Chat is, composed of carbon
ana the OF Wdier) WHICH luf-
nish the food to produce animal heat, 4
very important part of food.
Now, in the hands of u skillful feeder,
who knows what iood to give with straw
to make up its deficiencies, it is worth
more than half as much as good hay.
A ton of oats straw mixed with a ton OF
5he best clover hay. would make mix
lure equal in value to ordinary meadow
hay. And 400 pounds of linseed or cot
ton seed meal mixed with a ton OF straw.
would give 2,4O0 pounds OF fodder, equal
n value to 2,400 pounds of meadow or
timothy hay. This gives an important
food value to straw, and the point to be
veil considered is, that nearly all that is
iigested in straw has no value as ma
,ure. Nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash are the only valuable manure
elements, and scarcely any one of these
are digested in straw; SO that straw is
practically as valuable as n when
fed as when not fed. Straw should be
used as food and all its value saved

WHEAT.

-
What 1t Costs the Farmer to Produce the
Cereal.
The present low prices of wheat have
set farmers to figuring up the cost of
this crop. Usually the figuring mounts
up pretty high and above the value of
the grain in the market. The cost is
put down at the estimated expense rs if
every part of the work were hired and
the receipts at the value of a minimum
yield. Thus the Detroit Board of Trade
has figured up the cost of a crop of
wheat at 1879 cents per bushel, taking,
we suppose, the yield to be about seven
teen bushels per acre. 1t is very clear,
however, that if the estimate had been
made at thirty bushels per acre the cost
per bushel would not have been in
creased very much-perhaps twenty
cents a bushel on the whole-and would
then amount to no more than forty-four
or forty-fve cents an acre. Instead,
then, of selling his wheat at three cents
a bushel less than the market price, the
Michigan farmer would realize aprofit
over and above all possible charges,
including rent of land and ~transporta-
ton to market, of at least thirty cents a
bushel, which is a profit of precisely
sixty-six and two thirds per cent. This
does not include the straw, which is
worth enough to pay for the ~threshing
or some other of the larger expenses,
and is far greater than any average
profit made in any other legitimate bus
mess. 1t must be remembered that this
profit is exclusive of every part of the
cost excepting the personal supervision
of the farmer over hired help, and may
be compared justly with the ten per
cent. of the merchant who does not in
clude in his expenses any remuneration
for his personal services.
This ought to be very satisfactory.
But it is rarely reached. That it is not,
however, is not the fault of the crop.
but of the farmer, for if. well treated
and managed under a skillful system
thirty bushels per acre n year with an
other is not difficult to attain. The crop
now in the ground is the smallest that
has been sown for years, and the prob
able market value next year will be con
siderably higher than now. The farmer,
then, who will topdress his wheat
now with fine manure and in the spring
with some fertilizer and give it a touch
of the smoothing harrow to freshen up
the soil will doubtless make a much
more satisfactory profit from his fewer
acres than he has done this year from
double the area.-N. Y. Times.

N A APART.

A baby clasped its hands and slept:
Across Its eyes, like gentians blue,
The veined white eyelids downward crept,
The red lips took q paler hue.
They raised it from it's cradle low
And laid il in a harder bed
Amid soft laces, and the glow
Of blossoms at its feet and head.
They hid 1t from the mothers sight
the mother with the empty arms
And. oh, the sun was binding bright,
And all the field flowers lost their charms.
And clear, calm moonlight, and the smell
OF moistened flower-cups and the few
Dark MOSES by the unused well.
And, 30" the mother thought, show bare
The earth can be of sweets" and still
The stars shone straightway through the air
The asters nodded on the hill.
But all the world was narrowed down
To her-f0r whom IL was so wide
And crowded in the hillock brown
N-ew-rounded on the m~eadow-side.
And then she saw one star that grew
OF separate luster from the rest;
Its glorious radiance shimmered through
The frozen sorrow in her breast.
Perhaps" she said, ..it is the star
That led to where the Christ-child layl
And i, oh, I am very far
From Him who took my child away.
81 will arise and go to Him,
And pray for peace and righteous grace
To light the deathly shadows grim
That hover Ger my baby's face"
And peace descended from its height,
And earth regained its wonted charms;
The mother-heart shed warmth and light
On other children in her arms.
But still she kept one place apart
And nom but God could enter there,
The sacred corner of her heart,
Where her dead child was shrined IN prayer
