An Indian traveller relates how "the
native of India uses a pillow made of a
piece of iron a foot in length, an inch
wide aud half an inch thick, which Is
sharpened at the lower end and fixed in
triangular piece of wood attached to the
yoke on the necks of the bullocks by a
piece of manila grass. This plow tears
up the ground like harrow, and by hard
work can be made 20 over nearly an acre
of land in a day, The operation OF Tlow-
ing is repeated five or six times before
each sowing, or about ten times year

blowing the sower follows after the ma

An Historical Plot.
WASHINGTON Snecial.

People who come to this city from the
west over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
report that at the station near Rommey,
W. Va. there is a large board sign which
reads:
"This is the place where President
Cleveland shot the deer, October 18th,
1856
The sign is painted in large letters and
attracts the attention of every one in the
passing trains and every one wonders why
it is there, because the president did not
shoot the deer, being quarter OF mile
away when the animal was killed by Mr..

TILE RIGHTS OF BOYS.

What Little Robbie Has to Say on this Impor-
tant subject
Detroit Free Press
My mamma is always talking about
woman's rights-says they are going to
have them, too, bat / guess the poor
little boys haven't got any right, or if
they have it, big folks are a long time in
finding it ont.
just tell you there is never anything
done wrong about our house, but what
papa or mamma or nurse or somebody
says:
ooh! the boys did it, of course
I've heard that IN some places, every
thing bad is blamed on the cat, but in
Our house everything bad is blamed ON the
boys.
If somebody pinches pieces out of the
cake before tea, or upsets the tea pot or
breaks a cup, or eats the jelly, cook walks
square into the house, and tells mamma
the "boys did it,
Yes, she'd say the boys did it, if there
wasn't boy near, and tho house was full
of girls.
And just as soon as a little boy wants
to have some fun making mud pies, or
tying tin cans to the dogs tell, or throw
ing brick bats at other little boys, or ty-
ing strings across the walk to throw folks
down, or some other innocent amusemant,
some meddlesome person runs off and
tells his mamma, and she comes ont and
spanks him, or shuts him up in dark
closet. | think that's eowardly, too, for
mamma always says if big boy whips a
little one, it is sure sign that the big
fellow is a coward so she must be a cow
ard when she whips me, cause she's the
biggest.
l don't like girls one bit-or | wouldn't
if | could help it, but somehow | can't.
Anyhow, everybody treats them better
than boys. Anything will do for the boys,
big folks say, so they have to wear the
coarse shoes and common clothes, and be
scolded when their buttons come off or
their pantaloons need patching. They
are always sent out of the parlor when
company comes, because they are not
fit TO be seen"
Once in a long while they are allowed
to stay in, and then if they try to be so
ciable and tie the visitors coat to the
chair leg, or stick a pin for him to sit
down on, or slip the chair from under
him when papa tells him to be seated
like enough that poor little boys bad
mamma will send him off to bed just for
that. | think it is a shame!
But the little girls are always called in
to the parlor when company comes, and
called my dear" and darling and lots
of nice names, and they play the piano
and "show off, and bang their hair
and wear RIFLES, and that's all girls are fit
for.
Boys are great deal smarter than
girls. | know that must be fact, be-
cause every boy l talk to about it says
SO.
Mamma often tells papa that the boys
worry the life out of her, and then papa
says:
well, never mind, dear; may be they'll
turn out senators or lawyers or soNtrac-
tors or something yet"
"And then mamma shakes her head and
says;
MAY be So But do not think she
believes it.

Food for Hogs Experiments.
Prairie Farmer.

The Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment
Station has been making some feeding
experiments and among others, nine
plain bred pigs, with some Berkshire
blood in them, were used to determine
the relative value of corn meal, shorts,
and mixture of the two, for feeding
purposes. The pigs weighing about $50
pounds each, were separated into three
lots. Lot No. l was fed wet corn meal
lot No. wet shorts, and lot No. 3. with
mixture of each in equal proportions.
Each lot was fed all they would eat up
clean for forty-two days. The corn was
estimated at 35 cents per bushel, and the
shorts cost 20 cents per 100 pounds. The
result indicated that to produce a pound
of pork with meal alone, cost 4.3 cents, re-
curing 5.3 pounds of meal. II re-
quired the same amount of shorts. cost
ing 81 cents, to produce pound of in
crease But 3.3 cents worth the mixture
produced the same result. While sin
gle experiment is by no means conclu-
siye, it would indicate that a mixture of
corn and shorts will make cheaper pork
than corn alo2o, even when shorts cost
considerably more than the price paid at
the Wisconsin Experiment Station. Elk
periments with regard TO the value Of
cooked and uncooked food Mt the stations
indicated that it cost one.half cent more
per pound TO make pork from cooked
food. apart from tho expense OF the
cooking.

Reform in the Dairy--Good Farming.

According to the profession we err in
the following particulars: We feed to
waste for want of accurate knowledge
of the best methods of making and pre-
pairing foods. We cannot absolutely
trust our men to carry out in its entirely
a careful system of feeding and manage
ment-they frequently smoke in the COW
house and invariably dip their fingers in
the milk. We do not fully understand
the management of milk and the science
OF making and preserving butter and
cheese and other edibles prepared from
milk. Many of our daires average not
more than 500 gallons of milk in year.
although we have cattle in the country
able to yield 1000 gallons. We are sell
dom able to obtain much more thai 100
pounds of butter III year, although we
have COWS in the country able TO yield
300 pounds. We consider 500 pounds of
cheese good average, although we have
cows which will produce 1000 pounds
In all these points we have to improve
and we have yet TO discover, among other
things, why two animals fed on the same
rations and kept under similar crcum-
stances differ in their yields Of milk. Re-
ferring to extra uses of skim milk, Prof
Long has made novel suggestion, which
is worthy of consideration by those con
cerned. 1t is in reference to the use of
skim milk instead of water in the max
ing of bread. Experiments have been
made with this object in view, and it has
been found that a four pound loaf would
require little more than pint of milk
most OF which would be evaporated in the
process of baking, but it would add to
the bread two and half ounces at least
of the flesh forming food which the milk
ccRtains, thus materially improving its
feeding value; and what, perhaps, is of
more importance to the public, it adds to
its tastiness, and it is the generally agree
able quality which, as bakers have admit
ted, would enhance its appreciation by
the public at large. cent loaf extra
would enable the farmer to receive 8
cents a gallon for bis milk. This ques-
tion which refers not so much to the
poorer as to the better classes they
would no doubt duly appreciate, and
gladly buy, an improved article of this
kind if the baker would take it in hand.

Science has found out something very
novel namely, that the fruit tree slumb-
ers in the daytime and works at night.
This modern idea is that frat trees &C
qmre most of their growth at night. The
fruit Of the cherry laurel, for instance,
has been found by DR.. Crausi, of Halle,
to increase at the rate of 80 per cent. at
night and only 10 per cent. by day while
apples increase 50 per cent. at night and
20 per cent in the daytime.

The Senate, on motion of Mr.. Plumb, took up
the Presidents veto of the bill to quiet titles

MIR. Evarts delivered an argument in support of
the veto in which he said the objections to the

An examination of the subject had satisfied him
that the President was right in returning the
bill without his approval.
Mr., Allison said that the bill affected large in
