Paper-Making in China.


Eighteen hundred years ago the Chi
nese made paper from iibrous matter
reduced to pulp. Now each province
makes its own peculiar variety. The
young bamboo is whitened, reduced to
pulp in mortar, and sized with alum.
From this pulp sheets of paper are
made in mold by hand. The cele-
brated Chinese rice paper, that so re-
sembles wooden and silk fabrics, and
on which are painted quaint birds and
flowers, is manufactured from COM
pressed pith, which Is first cut spirally
by keen knife into thin slices six
inches wide and twice as long. Funeral
papers. or paper limitations of earthly
things which they desire to bestow on
departed friends, are burned over their
graves. They use paper window frumes,
paper sliding doors and paper visiting
cards yard long. 1t is related that
when distinguished representative of
the British Government visited Pekin
several servants brought him a huge
roll, which, when spread out on the
floor, proved to be the visiting card of
the Emperor. Philadelphia Press.

HENS,
How They should Be Treated II We wish
Them to Do Their Best.


The productive powers of a hen de-
pend upon her constitutional capability
and the feeding. The statement that a
hen has a certain number of germs or
Ovules in the ovary at birth, and that
these mature at certain periods of her
life, is simply bosh. 1t is baseless,
imaginary supposition. and quite in
consistent with what is known of the
laws of animal growth. II these six
hundred ovules exist, at what time
were they formed? They must have ex-
listed in the young chick, and, if so,
they must have been in embryo in the
egg. This is not possible. IL might
rs well be said that every fat globulc in
the milk of a COW has been numbered
and provided for at the birth of a calf,
because these globules are produced by
cell growth in precisely the same man
ner as the ovules in the ovary of the
cow, or as the ovules in the ovary of a
hen. 1t was once said. years ago, that
the whole of tree existed in embryo in
the seed--the root, stem, branches and
leaf. This is a parallel misstatement to
that in regard to the hen. The
absurdity OF it is apparent to any one
who thinks about it, and one is as alb
surd as another. The fact is, hon
at birth has no apparent ovules,
nor is the ovary fully formed. This
grows and natures as the chick in
creases in age and size, from the ordi-
nary cell growth by which the bone,
muscle and other parts of the fowl are
produced from the blood, which is
made from the food. The food is eaten
and digested, and changed into blood;
the blood forms the matter from which
the cellular tissue Of the animal is built
up. If the food is not sufficient for all
the demands of the animal its life is
first sustained, then its substance Is
added to, but its reproductive functions
are net completed or set in action. For
this final purpose of living creature,
whether plant or an animal, full and
sufficient nutriment must be provided.
A hen will not lay eggs unless fully fed,
simply because the ovules in the ovary
can not be formed without the neces-
sary substance, which must come from
the food. And these ovules are formed
by an abundant growth of cell tissue in
proportion to the supply of food. The
better hen is fed the more eggs she
will produce, and as some hens have
been known to lay over 1900 eggs in
the course of long life, it is very clear
that "a large number must have been
produced somehow, even if she was
provided with GOO at her birth. The
whole statement is one of those foolish
''facts' of popular science" of which
so many are turned out of the science
mills.-N. Y. Times.

An English farmer says: "For two
winters placed six horses upon the fol-
lowing weekly allowances: Forty-two
pounds of oats, twenty-eight pounds
maize, twenty-one pounds beans, twen-
ty-one pounds hay cut intochaff, seventy
pounds long hay Total, 1876 pounds OF
food per week per horse. Upon this
food the horses have done admirably
while in constant work"
The methods of pork making have
changed wonderfully within the last
twenty years, and the hogs are health
ier and the pork is better. The profit
able pork is pig pork and the animal is
forced for the meat barrels from the
day of birth. Dogs have less work
nowadays running after the yearling
racers than formerly; in fact, dogs have
seen their best days as guardians for
swine. Boston Globe.
There are many reasons why habits
of ncatness in farming lead to success.
Such habits are none too common, and
in every business the men who do their
work in the most thorough manner get
the best pay. The world is full of poor
work, that of necessity can only be
poorly paid. The farmer who grows
his crop among weeds can never sell
his grain at the highest market price,
while the extra care needed TO secure
absolute purity is sure to be proportion
ately well paid. Prairie Farmer

USE LITTER FREELY.
Not Only Keep Animals Warm and Clean,
but Absorb All Liquids.


1t is perhaps always profitable to have
troughs and vats for holding liquid ma
nure, but very many farmers do not
possess these, and must depend upon
the absorbent quality of the litter The
value of the liquid excrement of cattle,
sheep and horses exceeds the value OF
the solid. and as this will be saved just
in proportion to the absorbing capacity
of the substances used for litter, we al
ways select that substance which will
best absorb liquids. Litter is also to
prevent the escape Of animal heat. and
serves the same purpose as shelter. 1t
retains the animal heat, not altogether
because it is poor conductor, but il
holds around the body of the animal a
quantity of air, and air is q very poor
conductor. Woolen clothing is warmer
than cotton clothing. because it holds
among its fibers large quantities of air
which retard the passage of the heat.
Saw-dust answers best the requirements
of litter. There is no doubt of its ex-
cellence; but often there may be of its
economy. Where saw-dust can be had
for the hauling, or for small price, the
farmer is certainly foolish if he does not
use il literally for bedding. Its value
in the compost heap will far exceed its
cost. But in some parts of the country,
as on the Western prairies, it is
impossible to procure saw-dust;
and the farmer must use the
best available substance-straw. 1t
is inferior only to sawdust in retarding
the passage OF heat and absorbing the
liquids. Like saw-dust, it holds air
around the body of the animal. The
straws are filed with air. and air is held
in the spaces between the straws. 1t is
equally well adapted to the purpose as
an absorbent. Straw is much more
largely used for litter than any other
substance, because II has been most
convenient; but for once our conven-
fence has led to our good. In the West
straw is considered necessary evil, TO
be reduced to manure as expeditiously
as possible. Even when n show of
feeding it is made, the object is more to
get II into manure than to put Resh
upon the cattle. This is not surprising
where not ten per cent. of the stover
from corn is utilized. and where other
excellent fodder. including hay, is al
lowed to 60 TO waste, and on account
Of its abundance, is always fed in a
slovenly manner. Here we can well use
litter abundantly, and where it has a
value as litter, it should be used in suf-
ficient quantities, not only to keep the
animals warm and clean, but TO absorb
all the liquids. In such places it pays
to be economical of litter; not in its use,
but in its saving. Leaves and vines are
scarcely inferior to straw, and may be
gathered in such quantities as to admit
OF ali The straw being fed Dry earth is
a good absorbent. bts it lacks the other
requirements Of litter. and its use should
bc in the compost heap rather than in
the stable.-AmericUn AQricEtt&yist,
