FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Patching Food for steers.

The most economical way Of fattcning
an animal is the quickest way-that is,
by liberal feeding of the most fattening
food up to the point when no moro food
can be digested. When indigestion oc-
ours then the food is wasted, and more
than that, the food already turned into
flesh is also wasted because the flesh is
lost by the disorder of the animal. Care
is to be taken, therefore, not to overfeed
but to gradually bring the feeding up to
the safe point where most good is done.
Onc-thousand-t two hundred pound steers
may be fed forty pounds of turnips or
mangels daily, with ten pounds of hay
and twelve pounds of corn, of mixed
cornmeal, bran, and cottonseed meal in
equal parts as much straw may be
given as the animal will consume, the
waste will serve as litter Comfortable
bedding and warm stables should be
provided. A gain of three pounds Il
day is the least increase that may be ex-
pectcd. The manure from cattle so fed
will be quite rich York Times.

II. C. White, State chemist for Geor-
gia, notes with satisfaction the increased
extent to which cottonseed meal has been
used as IN ammOniator in commercial
fertilizers, as he is of the opinion that the
article furnishes cheap nitrogenous
manure especially adapted to the soil and
climate of Georgia.

starting Plants from slips.

Peter Henderson, in the Ladiey' Floral
cabinet, gives the following directions
for the domestic propagation of plants
from slips: Florists use what are called
propagating benches for roofing cuttings
when wanted on large scale, as they
usually are by them; but when an ANA
teur, not having greenhouse facilities,
wishes to root a few slips, there is no
process that We can recommend better
than what is known as the "sauccr sys-
tem," which, even at the risk of telling
it to some of your readers who already
understand it, | must again repeat, as
there are no other plan that is so simple
and so safe. Take any common saucer
or plate, into which put sand to the
depth of an inch or so. Then prepare
the cuttings in the usual manner, and
place them in the sand close enough to
touch each other. The sand is then to
be watered so as to bring it into the con-
dition of mud. The saucer thus filled
with slips may be placed on the window
sill and exposed to the sun. The cut
tngs must be fully exposed to the sun,
and never shaded. But one condition
is absolutely essential to success: Until
the cuttings take root the sand
must be kept continually saturat-
cd with water, and always in the con
dition of mud. TO do this slips must
be watered at leaat once a day with a
very fine rose watering pot, and the
watering must be done very gently, else
the cuttings may be washed out. There
is every certainty that ninety per cent.
of the cuttings put in will take root,
provided they were in the proper con-
dition when placed in the saucer, and
that the temperature has not been lower
than sixty degrees for greenhouse plants
and eighty degrees for tropical plants.
BY the saucer system 4 higher degree of
temperature may be maintained without
injury than by any other system of prop
agatlon, as the cuttings in reality are
placed in water and will not wilt pro-
viGed the water is not allowed to dry
out. Still, the tender slip, until rooted,
will not endure long continuation of
very high temperature, and we would
advise that propagation be done at such
seasons that they may have as near as
possible uniform temperature of seventy
five or eighty degrees in the sunlight.
When rooted they should be ported in
dry soil, such as is recommended for
sowing seeds in. They should be placed
in pots not exceeding two and one half
inches in diameter, and treated carefully
by shading and watering for two or three

ears will make the whole much finer
led and lessen the injury to stock from
the coarse particles of corn cob in the
feed.
The difficulty with prickly hedges is
that after they get to he few years old
cultivation around them is apt to be
neglected, weeds and grass accumulate
and these furnish harbor for mice. In
most old hedges there are vacant places
caused by the gnawing of mice in win
ter. The mice bred in hedges are also
destructive to adjoining grain fields.
Flax will grow on any kind of soil
that produces wheat, oats, barley, corn
or potatoes. but it thrives best on mel
low soil or one not too wet or too sandy.
1t also produces well on new timber clear
ings, especially where the timber has
been burned off, wood ashes being an
excellent fertilizer for it. Although in
some sections it is grown principally for
its fiber, yet it is said to be a profitable
crop when grown for the seed alone.
While an excess of barnyard manure is
liable to make an overgrowth of poor
quality potatoes, this danger is lcsscned
by drawing manure in the fall and early
winter, so that it will be thoroughly
mixed with the soil. With the average
potato crop of the country yielding less
than ninety bushels per acre, and highly
manure1 fields yielding three to five
hundred bushels per acre, it will not do
to try growing potatoes without manure.
A correspondent of the National Lire
Stock Journal writes that pumpkins are
good food for horses, having an excel
lent effect on the bowels as a mildly re-
Taxing food. The only danger is in their
eating too many seeds. In feeding pump
kins to horses, therefore, it is advised to
remove the seeds. The correspondent
referred to says it is quite safe to feed
twenty pounds per day to horse. He
has fed pumpkins, without the Seed to
growing colts in the fall and winter, in
warm stables. They are too watery to
feed out of doors in cold weather.
The blanket should not be used upon
a horse at all in the winter, unless it is
used faithfully. The great trouble in its
use arises in this way: When a team
has been driven few miles to market,
or the same distance for pleasure, blan-
kets or robes are put on; but when draw
ing logs to the saw-mill, or doing other
heavy work. they are made to haul large
loads mile or two, and return at a blisk
trot, then stand unblankcted while
another load is being put on. Or per-
haps while driving upon the road
sleighing good, speed high-a friend is
met and half an hour is spent in talking
the horses cool suddenly, take cold, and
the owner wonders how it happened. Do
unless you cover them under all circum-
stances after being driven in cold wealth
cr. The blanket is Of great benefit if
properly used.

Homes nv Fertilizers.

Henry Stewart sets forth the value of
bones as a fertilizer in very plain man
ner. They consist, when fresh, of So
per cent. of mineral matter (of which
fifty five per cent of the bone is phos-
plate of lime), 81 per cent. of organic
matter, chiefly gelatino and fat, and five
contains 81 per cent. of nitrogen; the
mineral matter contains from twenty to
25l per cent of phosphoric acid and
thirty to thirty-fve per cent. of lime.
The phosphoric acid and the nitrogen
are the valuable elements, the former be-
ing worth, at six cents pound, $3.50,
and the latter, at twenty-five cents a
pound, eighty-scven cents; 100 pounds
of bone, then, in a condition to be avail
able, would be worth $2.37. But bones,
when whole, are only soluble in the soil.
In moist soil they will decay and wholly
disappear, only in so many years that
it is necessary to reduce them to a fine
state of division to make them useful.
This is done by grinding them to powder
or by burning them to ashes. The lat
ter method is the cheaper, but the nitro
gen is lost, and if the bones can be re-
duced to powder for less than the value
of the nitrogen, the more costly method
is the better. But in many cases it is
impossible to grind them for want of
mills, and then the burning becomes the
only practicable method. This leaves
the phosphate of lime in the finest posi-
bic condition to be as available for plant
food as in the raw bone, or more so, be
cause it is not held in an undecomposed
condition by the gelatine.

The Greedy Rescue.

In describing the rescue Of Lieutenant
Greedy to reporter, sailor of the res
cuing vessel Bear recently gave the fol-
lowing version:
cat Littlcton Island, the entrance of
Smiths Sound, we were nipped in the
ice three days The Bear and Thetis
sailed from there to Cape Sabine, on the
extreme point of which records of the
Greedy party were found by an ensign of
the Thetis. The Bear started at once
for Cooked Hat Cove, where Greedy was,
as indicated by the message. The steam
launch under Lieutenant Colwell made
the landing. A figure was seen advanc
ing over the ice.
"'Who are you?' said Chief Engineer
Low.
81 am Sergeant Long, said the ema-
ciated wretch.
;" Is Greedy alivc2 was the next qucs-
ton.
"'Yes, bat starving. For Gods sake
give me something to cat
owe took the man on board the Bear
at once. Commander Schley and DIR.
Ames landed as soon as possible with
medical supplies. The party was found
in dilapidated tent, lying in their
sleeping bags, unable to stand upon
their feet, which were useless.
They were so weak and emaciated that
they were literally nothing but human
skeletons wrapped in skin. Greedy was
reading from a praycr-book to private
Cornell, who was supposed to be dying.
AS soon as he knew that it was an
American expedition that had rescued
him Greedy said: 4 am glad to see you.
DR.. Ames took charge of the party and
allowed nothing to be given them but a
small teaspoonful of brandy punch at
intervals and at last small quantities of
food. The living and the dead were re-
moved aboard the vessels as soon as pos
sible. All but six bodies were recovered.
They were wrapped in sheeting and
covered with alcohol in tanks. We
stayed at Cape Sabine only eleven hours
and returned through Melville Bay as
fast as the ice would allow.
lone of our EsquimauX went crazy
here, and, jumping on the ice, ran of as
fast as his legs could carry him. Two
sailors were detailed to follow and bring
him back. Such running you never saw.
When they captured him he turned up
his toes like a turtle, expecting to be
carried. But the tars didn't look at il
that way. They punched him with theil
boarding pixies until he was glad to trot
back to the ship. We arrived at ST.
Johns, Newfoundland, July II, where
the irons collins were received and the
bodies placed in them"

THE WINTER OF THE YEAR.

1t is the Winter of the year!
Ger buried flowers the snow riffs lie.
The storms have vailed with ashen gray
The blueness of the Summer sky;
No brooks in babbling ripples run,
No birds are singing in the hedge,
No violets nodding in the sun,
Beside the brooklet's frozen edge,
Yet unto leafless, broken boughs,
The grcenest moses closely cling,
And near stern Winters stormy verge
Float soft, prophetic airs of Spring
1t is the Winter of our lifel
Ger buried hopes the snow riffs lie,
And storms have vailed with ashen gray
The blueness of the cloudless sky;
No light steps cross the threshold stone,
No voice of love our welcomes greet,
No gentle hand enclasps our own,
With cordial salutation sweet;
Yet unto bruised and broken hearts
Endearing words of promise cling.
And float upon Times stormy voyage,
:. Bright blossoms of eternal Spring!

Beef fritters are nice for breakfast;
chop pieces of steak or cold roast beef
very fine. Make a batter of milk, flour
and an egg, and mix the meat with it.
Put a lump of butter into a saucepan,
let it melt, then drop the batter into it
from large spoon. Fry until brown;
season with pepper and salt and a little
parsley.
Ginger biscuits, an agreeable variation
of ginger cookies, are made of one
pound of flour, half Il pound Of butter,
half pound of sugar, two eggs, two
heaping tablcspoonfuls of ginger, two
tcaspoonfuls of baking powder; mix
thoroughly and mold into small biscuits;
bake in a quick oven A little salt is re-

Not that there is any apparent sweetness

a novelty in pancakes is made in this
way: To two eggs allow two ounces of
flower, little salt, and milk enough to
make a batter of medium thickness.
Beat the eggs until they are very light
before adding the flour; put a lump of
butter into saucepan and then pour in
enough batter to make one large cake
put in just enough to cover the bottom
of the pan nicely, as the cake should be
so thin that it will not need to be turned.
When the pancake is done, sprinkle pow
dered sugar over it and roll it up; put on
hot plate and when you have three or
four done send them to the table. To
make these cakes very delicate flavor
them with a little lemon. A little thick
raspberry jam may be rolled in them if

Barron's power. lie had not known
how thoroughly that gentleman's muscles
had been trained.
As quickly as light, as strongly as love,
Holt now acted,
In that flash of time while the weight
was lifted he drew the girl from beneath
it.
Having done so, he fell down on hia
knees beside her, not looking now
toward Barron, who did not come for
ward.
Naomi, whose senses had been pain
fully kept alive, had now become uncon.
scious; but being naturally strong and
well, she revived in few moments, as
Holt rubbed snow upon her hands and
temples, keeping himself outwardly calm
only by great effort.
When she opened her eyes and looked
at him, though his heart thrilled beneath
that glance, he felt that he must not
yield to the temptation it brought to
him. Now he remembered Barron.
lie rose quickly and glanced over the
tree trunk, some stihed cry escaping
him as he did so.
He saw Barron lying on his side, his
face almost as white as the snow near it,
and thin stream of blood slowly trick
ling from his lips.
Something resembling smile came
into Barron's eyes as Holt came round
and bent over him.

Holt nodded. He did not think he

He looked up wistfully at the strong,
moved face before him.
Il suppose it is all right" he said,
after a pause. Then more loudly and
strongly: "Where did | read, the other
day, that it was not difficult to die?"
AS he finished speaking his glance
met the eyes of Naomi, who had risen,
and had come to Hollis side. A gush of
blood came faster. His eyelids fell softly,
peacefully.
The man and women standing there
remained silent and motionlcss for
several moments.
Then Holt turned and looked at the
pallid, tear-wet face of the girl beside
him.

The blood came painfully up over Ma

beat heavily.

that, sad as it was, started Holt into
