The Only System of Feeding Which In.
sures Complete Digestion.
All domestic animals need rough feed,
or 'stoyer," mixed along with the fine
food, hogs as well as the rest. In the
case of the Illuminating animals, it is
doubtful if grain or meal fed alone goes
to the first stomach at all. Alarge ma
joritY of the experiments made to deter
mine this point, clearly show that fine
foods do not, to any material extent, 90
to the first stomach when fed to cattle
alone; and if food does not 90 to the first
stomach, it can be only very imperfectly
igested, since it escapes the macerating
process of the rumen, and being remas-
ticated and mixed with the saliva. How
true this is every large feeder of cattle,
in the West at least, must know. A large
proportion of the kernels of corn eaten
by the animals is found in their drop
pings, some whole, others broken, but
all indigested, If they had passed into
the first stomach they would have been
raised and remasticated. and certainly
would not have escaped this process
scarcely broken. So it is when meal is
fed. 1t passes into the third and fourth
stomachs, a mass of dough, into which
the gastric juices can not penetrate. 1t
is true that the muscular contractions of
the stomach will give gentle motion to
the dough; but this will make it more
compact rather than of character that
the gastric juice can operate freely
upon it. Ii, however, we mix this meal
with cut straw or hay, the mixture will
90 to the first stomach, and will, OF
course, be remasticated, while the bits
of straw or hay will allow the gastric
juice to circu ate through the mass and
insure complete DIGESTION Washington

Serious Mistakes in Bookkeeping Which
Can Easily be Avoided.
Bees quickly detect individuals who
are strangers, being, no doubt, guided
by. scent, and they also have a repug-
nance to articles that have been painted,
CREASED. or in any manner rendered of
a disagreeable odor The new hives,
therefore, should be as clean as possible,
and free from any faint of impurity.
They should not be painted, nor should
any thing be placed in them but a small
quantity of sugar or pure syrup. The
bees will carefully clean the hives after
they take possession, and will keep
them in good condition. 1t is very easy
to make mistakes in Bookkeeping, and
they should be avoided as much as
possible. Do not waste the comb. If
the combs are gradually returned to the
hives the bees will give them thorough
cleaning and utilize them, thereby saw
ing vast amount of labor that would
otherwise be devoted to the production
of honey, and extra combs should al
ways be on hand for the use of new
swarms If a colony leaves the hive
late in the season, when the harvest of
honey is nearly over, the bees will have
an arduous task to perform, if they are
compelled to make both comb and
honey. All hives should be covered in
order to protect them from the rays Of
the sun and from dampness. One OF
the essentials in Bookkeeping is a dry
hive. Dampness is more injurious than
cold and the mistake of not properly
protecting the hive may entail loss.
Keep a watch over the colonies, and
avoid the mistake of being compelled
to make or procure hive just about
the time the swarming is to occur,
Have every thing in readiness, so as tc
locate the new colo-.y as soon as pos
sible.-FdrDl, Field aud SiOckmdH.

LITTLE WEEZY.

Why She wouldn't Go Riding - Her
Birthday and Why She Did.
The day Weezy was four years old
Jenny Hight invited her to tea Jen-
ny was five.
"1'm a year older than 1 was yester-
day, mamma" said Weezy, while her
mother tied her bonnet. "Pretty soon
I'll be just as old as Jenny"
Then she frisked down the gravel
path, dragging behind her dust-pan
tied to a string. In the dust-pan
were three dollies and clay pipe. The
pipe was to blow bubbles with. AS to
the dust-pan, that, of course, was
Wee2y's carriage. To-day she had not
far to draw it, for Jenny lived just
across the street There was Jenny
now, swinging on the gate. She had
something nice to tell Weezy and she
were going to ride in the new buggy
with brother Ned. Weezy screamed
with delight, and scampered off to the
stable with Jenny, to see Ned harness
the horse.
mamma says, when we get to an
orchard, Ned, you must buy some
apples, " said Jenny
Il rather think I'd better steal them, "
answered her tall brother with sly
wink. He was buckling the reins.
When he looked up again, his
little sister had climbed into the
buggy, and Weezy was not to be seen.
Where could she be? Jenny did not
know. Mrs. Hight did not know. The
child was not in the stable, and she
was not in the house.
Ned found her at last at home in the
hammock, as solemn as little owl.
Her mother had locked the door and
gone out to make calls. But he could
not coax Weezy to 90 back with him.
She said she did not want to ride.
The whole family left uncomforta.
bic, and poor little Jenny cried.
After Mrs. Haynes came home
Ned want over to tell her
what had happened. He heard Weezy
sobbing in the sitting-room, and this
was what she was saying:
"S'pose I'd ride with folks that
steal, mamma? Course not! But, D
mamma, the buggy was SO nice and
shiny Oh, dear!''
You precious little goosie! Did you
think | really meant to steal the
apples?" cried Ned, rushing in, laugh
ing, "Why, Weezy, dear, ! was only
in fun. / wouldn't steal shaying"
: He picked her up, tears and all, and
carried her off on his shoulder, and her
face was covered with smiles when
they met Jenny. Then they had a
lovely ride and plenty of apples,
though Ned did not steal one. And
after tea Wee2y trudged home with q
basketful, and Ned gave her the pretty
little basket to keep.-O@r little Ones.

seiah should have tempered with to.
bacco when he knew that it affected his
heart.
But he is gone. He lived to see his
own promissory notes rise, flourish, ac-
quire interest, pine away at last, and
finally outlaw. He acquired a large
farm in the very heart of the county
seat, and refused to move or to plot it
and call it Methuselah's addition. He
came out in spring regularly for nine
hundred years after he got too old to
work out his poll tax on the road, and
put in his time telling the rising genera
ton how to make good road. Mean
time other old people, who were almost
one hundred years of age, moved away
and went West, where they would at
tract attention and command respect.
There was actually no pleasure in get
ting old around where Methuselah was,
and being ordered about and scolded
and kept in the background by him.
So, when at last he died, people
sighed and said: "Well, it was better
for him to die before he got childish 1t
was best that he should die at time
when he knew it all. We can't help
thinking what an acquisition Methuse-
lab will be on the evergreen shore when
he gets there, with all his ripe exper-
ence and his habits of early rising"
And the next morning after the fu-
neral Methuselah's family did not get
out of bed till nearly nine o'clock.-BiIl

REARING CALVES.
A Method Which Can BE Called the First
Step Toward an Improved Herd

A Method Which Can Be Called the First
Step Toward an Improved Herd
First, own good cows. Treat them
kindly and keep them docile and quiet
When about to calve, place the COW in
a separate stall and leave her loose.
Feed no grain or stimulating food for a
month before calving. When the calf
arrives, remove it to a pen at distance
where it can be kept quiet and COM
Portable. 1t will never know what it is
to be with its mother, and much trouble
afterwards will be spared. In three or
four hours milk the COW, and give the
milk to the calf, teaching it to drink.
With patient skill the calf may be
taught to drink in the first lesson.
Milk the COW four times a day, and feed
the milk to the calf until the fourth day,
when the COW is returned to the stable
and the milk is saved for skimming.
The calf gets only skinned milk after
ths-three quarts at feed twice day,
and warmed up to eighty degrees. The
feed is gradually increased as the calf
grows, and when it is two months old
it is taught to take little mixed ground
corn and oats, and have small guam
tity with the warmed skinned milk
until it is six or eight months old. This
enables the calf to make fine growth,
and br ngs it up in docilty and gentle
ness. These qualities are improved by
a daily brushing and carding, and by
! using it to the halter and to lead, while
it is being fed in the pen. Continual
handling in this way prevents the con-
tracing of any of the common vices,
and when the calf becomes COW, it is
in an excellent state of discipline and
gives no trouble. This method, well
carried out, is the main step toward an
improved herd, which will be of very
great value, and one gained at a very
small cost.-Americdn AgricuituriSt

Cheap Production of Hydrogen.

Two French chemists, Messrs. Hem
bert and Henry, are said to have dis
covered a process for producing pure
hydrogen at a cheap rate. In the first
stage a stream of vapor is decompOsed
over incandescent coke, hydrogen and
carbon monoxyde being evolved. A
fresh quantity Of vapor is brought in
contact with the carbon monoxyde,
and the mixture is heated to the tenn
perature Of dissertation. A further
production Of hydrogen then takes
place, and the carbon monoxyde Is
changed into carbon dioxyde, which
it is easy to absorb in lime-water. Il
appears that by the above method l. 600
klogrammes of coke yield $500 cubic
metres Of hydrogen. The cost of the
gas is said not TO exceed a centime and
a half per cubic metre, or about 50
cubic feet--M Z. PoSk
