Wheat makes excellent food for

How to Use woman's Weapon Properly
Raising the Dust.
The broom has long been dubbed .
woman's weapon, and certainly this in
nocent looking article of household use,
when pressed into active service by
strong, energetic sweeper, is exceedingly
efficacious in driving from the tireside
both friend and foe. Eyes, throat, lungs,
in vain protest against the "quintessence
of dust;'' thoroughness is everything.
Various patents, more or less successful.
have been taken out on s'carpet-sweep-
ers, but the old-fashioned indispensable
holds its own against all changes and
improvements. In purchasing this
necessary article of discomfort, there
should be careful selection if you desire
the best. Choose green stuff, and see
that the handle is not shaky. The
stalk of the corn should not 60 below
the sewing as it is brittle and liable to
break of In sweeping, handle the
broom lightly and skillfully, the handle
inclining forward, that the dust may
thus be partially prevented from rising

gentle, continuous motion. toward the
place where it is to be gathered up. 1t
requires some science and common
sense combined to use broom properly.
Don't lean on the handle unless you wish
to curl and bend the edges and aid the
broom in rapidly acquiring a dilapidated
appearance. Sweep on each side al
ternately and wet before using to restore
its fexibility. Brooms should each
have a nail of their own whereon in
their leisure moments they may be sus-
pended at a safe distance from the fire.
If immersed in boiling suds once week
the brush will become very tough. will
not cut a carpet, and will last much
longer and always sweep like q new
broom.-Farna, Field and Stock'ndn.

STRAW.

The Use of Straw ~ Food for Cattle and
Because Of Its Manurial 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
. 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 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 complete ration, but,
when considered as q partial food
to be supplemented BY other
food which balances its def
ciencies, it is found to have an imPor..
tant value as cattle food. Its principal
value as food is in its digestible carbo-
hydrates (that is, composed OF carbon
and the elements of water) which FUR
nish the food to produce animal heat, .
very important part Of food.
Now, in the hands OF . skillful FEEDER
who knows what food to give with straw
to make up its deficiencies, it is worth
more than half as much rs good hay:
A ton of oats straw mixed with a ton Of
the best clover hay. would make mix
ture equal in value to ordinary meadow
hay. And 400 pounds OF linseed or cot
ton seed meal mixed with . ton OF straw.
would give 2.4O0 pounds OF fodder. equal
in value to 2, 400 pounds Of meadow OF
timothy hay. This gives An important
food value to straw, and the point to oe
well considered is, that nearly all that 4
digested in straw has no value as ma,
n1re. Nitrogen. phosphoric acid and
potash are the only valuable manure
elements, and scarcely any one OF thest
are digested in straw; so that straw !
practically Is valuable as manure wher
fed rs when not fed. Straw should Dc
used - food and Ill its value ssyed.--
