Cut Feed for Horses.

An accurate farmer informs US Of
his experiments with feeding cut
feed and meal to his horse, accom-
panied with weighing aud measuring.
He cuts oat straw abou, an inch
long, with a rawhide cylinder ma
chine-euch as were in use years
ago, and. this chopped straw is then
treated with corn meal and bEan
mixed, in about equal quantities. az
to weight, SO that each horse has
about a boshel OF cut feed, and three
quarts of the meal AMI bran twice
in each day. Sometimes hay is cut
instead Of cat straw, or both, and
mixed. It is found that two hun
dred pounds per week OF this NIX.
ture Of cornmeal and bran added 20
the cut feed, will keep Q pair Of
working horses in the best Of con-
dition. This he is satisfied from
experiments is less than two-thirds
the cost Of Keeping them on uncut
dry hay and whole grain. The corn
meal alone is not go good for horses,
he says, as when diluted with bran.
An excellent meal is made of oats
and corn ground together. Several
we'll known railroad contractors feed
all Of their horses on a mixture oil
ground corn and oats. They find il
a good deal cheaper than feeding
whole grain. The horses belonging
to street railway companies are also
fed chopped feed and meal.

Farm and Garden Notes.

It is claimed by some that a small
quantity of lime in each hill OF pota-
toes is a sure preventive against
scab.
Most farmers agree that both the
yield and quality of potatoes are
unfayorably affected when grown
upon the same piece of groGmd H-v,
erai years in succession.
1t is generally conceded by those
who have experimental with differ
ent kinds Of fertilizers, that nnisach-
ed wood ashes arc among the best
that can DC used for fruit orchards.
Grapes hung up in a dark place
so that the lunches do not come III
contact will keep for weeks, when il
they are piled on a dish or in a Rask
ct they will soon decay.
Some farmers who have tried the
experiment, claim that the ravages
of cut worms and wire worms can
10 a measure, be prevented, by pillow
ing the land just before the ground
freezes in the fail.
If you have an old grape vine
that yields poorly and has seen its
best days, cut it entirely off close te
the ground, manure heavily and lei
it throw up two new leaders, and
the following year you will see thai
it is as good as a young vine.
Those who during the late depres
sion in wool simply reduced then
1ocks by sorting out the feeble ano
otherwise undesirable sheep are now
much happier than those who sole
off their hocks because there was nj
money ID wool. There is money il
wool and mutton combined.
One Of The best preventive
against lice in the nests Of sitting

Prof. Arthur says that the b!igh

TO the Citizens of L%ouisia.d:
In consideration of The French and
Spanish ancestry Of Louisiana the Direc-
tors Of the approaching Exposition have
projected a Creole Exhibit, to be composed
of such articles as will represent Louisiana
in the Unrest light to the world beyond its
borders.
1t is proposed hat in this Exhibit be
collected the portraits of those persons
who have doEe honor to Louisiana, those
who have attained eminence in other a
military or a civil career, in literature, III
the arts. in the sciences.
There also should be al books which
have emanated from the pens OF Iouis-
ianlana-their musical compost ous, and
the paintings produced by their genius
cid letters connected with Louisiana his
tory or bearing the autographs OF noted
men; of which many are lying hidden
and forgotten amid the time-stained docu-
ments in the possession Of oar Creole
families. All antique reliques interesting
from their peculiarity, rarity OF extreme
age.
This Exhibit also calls for all paintings,
%statuary, bronZes aud metal work having
1FIlSLlC IltIlb, anu OGllcI cFlicuCcS " tue
culture and refined tasres of our people.
The Committee of Ladies for Creole
Exhibit earnestly request that these own
ing any of the above named valuable arti.
cles, which are only incompletely enumer
ared, will not wait to be culled on person
| ally and importuned for loans, but will
come forward with patriotic zeal and
offer their treasures. Such kindness on
| their part would SAVE the Committee from
long and fariguing research, and enable
them 10 give more time to the proper
arrangement Of the proposed collection.
Aroom in the Art Hall has been ALLOTTED
to the Creole Exhibit. This building
being fire proof, it's con'ents will be per
fectly safe; moreover, an especial police

Pretty Plants for indoors.

Take q common tumbler or fruit
can, and fill it nearly full of soft
water. Then tie a bit of coarse
lace, or cheese sacking over it, and
press down into the water, covered
with a layer of peas. In a few days
they will sprout, the little thread
like roots going down through the
lace into the water, and the vines
can be trained up on Irvine around
the window; Or, what is prettier, a
frame can be made for the purpose.
Eere is another pretty thing, with
bot little trouble. Take a saucer
ard fill it with fresh, green
moss. Place in the center a pine
cone, large size, having first wet it
thoroughly; then sprinkle it thickly
With grass seed. The moisture will
close the cone partially, and in a
day or two the tiny grass spires will
appear in all the i%nterstices, aud in
a week there will be a perfect, beau
tiful verdure. Keep secure from
frost and give it plenty of water:
and it will be a thing of beauty all
winter. These little things cost
nothing. They have a tendency tc
make our homes pleasant. We have
long winters in some portions Of the
country, and the more little window
gardens we get up the better it il
for US.
