The Value of Bran.

It's feeding value consists in it's
nitrogen and its fat. OF the former
we have already spoken; of the lat
ter two and half to three pounds is
contained in one hundred pounds of
it Its theoretical money value is
estimated at one dollar and seventy
cents per one hundred pounds as
compared with the best hay at one
dollar per one hundred. Rye bran
is thought to be richer in nutritive
elements than wheat bran, and in
our considerably long experience we
are strongly inclined to believe this
to be well founded, having found rye
bran ground with corn and oats to
he more productive of milk and but
ter than wheat bran. In our pract.
ice bran is largely used for horse
feed in the form of a frequent warm
mash made of four quarts of bran
and one quart of pure linseed meal
scalded and left to steep and cool
until slightly warm to the hand. At
this season it is exceedingly useful,
as it looseHs and opens the Skin, en-
courages the shedding of the old
hair, and supplies the hair fol!icles
and the oil glands of the skin with
fatty matter, thus giving the coat a
sottness and glossiness which no
other means can so well secure. 1t
is constant food for cows, being
ground three hundred pounds OF
corn and one hundred pounds of oats
to two hundred pounds OF the coarse
kind of it. This grinding together
is preferable because the bran is
made very fine and more digesti.

mixed togethor.-H. &ewart, in N.

Since I began 10 make ensilage, in
the fall of 1880, have fed my horses,
mules and COWS almost exclusively on
it, and have yet to see any bad results
from it; on the contrary, | have been
able to keep them in much better
condition than before commenced its
use. In the year 1879 l had nine
mules and horses. and about as many
cattle, and besides the long forage |
could conveniently make on my farm,
| paid out over 500 for hay, bought
by the carload in Richmond | am
now feeding fifteen head of horses and
mules and thirty cattle, and pay OUT
nothing for hay, and my farm is no
larger now than it was then. The
extra manure l now produce pays me-
fully, am persuaded, for the cost of
the ensllage. | use corn and COW pea
vines exclusively for ensilage-the
former, as l use it, is cheaper; the lat

The kentucky Saddle Horse.

During the past fifteen years OF
more. America has sue, esslully es
tablished a new breed of highly val
liable horses, which is now distiny
uished under the name of Trotters
Before this, it YVES unknown the
world over as distict type; but at
present, by coupling its males and
females together, they are as sure
to produce offspring OF the same
characteristics as themselves, az is
the case with the Race Horse, more
particularly recognized as thorough
bred. Again, though still later
America commenced forming anoth-
err distinct equine breed, what is
called The Kenturky Saddle Horse"
because the efforts TO create it have
been chiefly pursued in Kentucky.
Although such class is not so gen.
orally useful as the Trotter. still it is
highly priced by equestrjans. and
these are now rapidly increasing in
number throughout our country, as
horseback exercise is found to be
alike healthfnl and agreeable. espec-
tally to hose pursuing sedentary
employm, nt~. The origin Of this
breed is aid to have been a fine
mare of unknown blood, in Fayette
county, Kentucky. She greatly ex-
celled in saddle gaits, and her owner
stinted her about the year 1850 to
thorough bred race horse in her
neighborhood. The produce of these
two also excellent in the same eats.
were then crossed in various ways,
always selecting choice animals of
both sexes for this purposes. They
have turned out so we'll. and given
such high satisfaction 10 all using
them, we are informed, that they are
fast becoming an established breed,
and fairly increasing IN number
Tennessee and other Southern States
also joining Kentucky in their pro
duction. These horses are usually
fifteen to sixteen hands high of ele-
CANT form, stylish, fine, and harmon
ious in all points, and clean in their
limbs. They are also hardy, and
with proper usage, extra enduring.
They are docile, courageous, proud,
and good tempered if treated gently,
and spoken to kindly and affection
ately. But ill.treatment is instantly
resented by them. They ill bear the
spur or the whip when out at exer-
else under the saddle, nor will they
tolerate rough grooming or any
abuse in the stable.-Amerlcan Ag-
riculturist.

in six years, and thorough tillage, l

nit, this is taking off much more than
we put back; hut if a yield of IS bush
els If wheat per acre, $50 Of potatoes,
and tons of hay, can be got on the
average. | shall not worry much about
it. There are from 10000 to 10000
pounds of nitrogen per acre in the soil
now, probably within the reach of Glow
er.roots, and what is the use of buying
more to put in there if | can, by ju-
dicious rotation and good tillage, get
just as good crops without? Twenty
years cropping would not reduce the
nitrogen materially. Potash and phos-
pboric acid may be wanted in small
quantities in the future, but they have
not shown any good results yet.
The ground is not plowed for wheat
after potatoes, but simply made mellow
two or three inches deep with cultivator
AID harrow. This saves time, and seems
to give the best results. In this way
we keep the mellow soil, which has
been worked all summer on top to
make "a seed bed Of In this the wheat
plants will start and grow rapidly, COW
ering the surface with IA mat which al
most insures them from winter-kiliing

can dg potatoes clear up to the time of

firm and in proper condition for wheat
1t is hardly safe practice here to pillow
and sow soon afterward. 1t works well
some years but not always, and it seems
best to trust as little to duck" in our
farming operations as possible. With
me, wheat after potatoes gets down
quite badly, usually, so it is more work
to cut it, but it has always yielded well.
The reason of its lodging is probably
the amount of nitrogen developed by
the cultivation of the potates. If this
ia true it would seem good reason why
no more should be put on at present, as
it costs too much 10 be used where it is
not needed. Wheat, clover, and pota-
toes; then, we consider the best rotation
for potato farm, the proportion Of each
to be varied according to circumstances
In the first rotation given, six acres only
have to e cleared Of potatoes in time
for whea $ wing, as the other piece of
wheat is put in on clover sod. In the
second plan, twelve acres have to be
cleared. These acres would have to be
planted with early varieties, of course.
We cleared off twelve acres last fall for
wheat by the first of September, with
out any trouble. In the latter case
there is no ground to be plowed for
wheat in the fall, as all goes in after pc
tatoes, so there is all the more time to
devote to getting out the potatoes.-T.

THE MoCKINGBIRD IN WINTER.
BY JULIE K. wETHERIlL.

Thou art the chiefest chorister of Spring
 let dost thou bring Thy voice of gladness from the Southlands blest, Ere froward March hath sobbed herself 10 rest, Or April cen unfurled her sheeny wing. Oh. magic minstrcl breathe thy rarest strain: Imparadise my soul in song
 Sweep me along
 Upon the golden wings of melody Beyond the shivering landscape blank and cold, Beyond the hoary mist and frost-seared wold. Tell me of vernal days,
 Bright with the suns entrancing haze. Where Spring fades never from the smiling plain, Nor ever falls the blossom from the tree. Sing! and thou will create
 Around me the immortal May,
 Forever young and fresh and gay. Bearing the flowers that lost but late.
 Sing and I see again The gray haired forest wake from Winter s dream. Through the wind haunted wood and by the stream,
 The honeysuckle weaves it's rosy bower And soft-winged breezes fly Around the tawny jasmine flower.
 The passionate sun, full fan. StoOpng from out his height.
 Kisses awake the violet's azure eye. Now bourgeons every covert with delight Now blooms each flower that crowns the year divine:
 Meek innocence once more is seen And snake root with it's gems of dew In fairy cups of rose and blue, Set twiXt the pointed leaves of green,
 Starts forth in every nook; And timid mouse-ear. small and fine, That loves to dwell beside running brook. Poet of songstcrs. sure thou dost bewitch The tones of all thy comrades and enrich Even the pickering sparrow's husky note, That breaks in liquid music from thy throat, And melts ill harmony away.
 The qucrulous chatter of the jay The thrushs five sharp notes of pain. When windy April in the fields appears,
 Fall gently on mine cars ; And robins plaintive cry for rain Doth swectly sing the praise of tears They have dull ears who say Thou dost but echo thy transcendcnt lay. Nay, nay, 'tis fase-thou makest all thine own, In every cadence. every Soltened tone, As we one day, grown angels may repeat The words and songs of life, and make them sweet.
