The Domestic Hunting Ground.


The great far-reaching mind of man has made
him oftentimes an inventor and oftentimes dis
coverer. The northwest passage and the source of
the Nile still hold out inducements in the way of
aurels and fame, and mans taste for searching
for great things will even after these mysteries are
divulged, have other promised triumphs to urge
him on.
As dscoverer of the small things in life, how
ever man is not quite success. He entertans
vague idea that what he is looking for even if it is
the fire shovel, ought to be found in the middle of
the ROOM He doesn't say so-but he looks there
for it.
Have you ever watched a man hunt for some
thing. A real, genuine, peaceful, domestic search
for something of his own, though lost to sight TO
memory dear?
Now, there are something's beyond human power
to find; there is q woman's pocket, for example.
When man is sent upstairs to find something
said to be in the pocket of his wife's brown dress
hanging in the closet, the law and the prophets are
there in spirit to sympathize with him.
The closet is dark; there are four other dresses
on the top of that particular brown one; the said
brown one is wrong side out and has drab lining
and the pocket is accessible only through intricate
miles of drapery
A man cannot be reasonably expected to find the
matches in the dark, unless this match safe be
empty, in which case he plumbers on it without
difficulty
The hunt referred to is the real, old-fashioned
home-spun, Sunday morning search after-hs last
fall suit, for instance. The same that his wife
knows in her heart she traded off months ago for
bisque figure dog; or his last seasons derby, the
same she is guilty conscious of having given to
man for cleaning up the yard the week before
This is the sort of seek and We shall not find hunt
which man rejoices in.
He goes about it in dead earnest; no lingering,
haunting recollection of futile efforts and former
failures Turk in his memory to discourage him and
plant despair in his bosom.
He hunts minute or more in silence and then
he begins to whistle-such mild, soft, felicitous
whistle, bearing submission in its vibrations, and
an invocation to patience
At first he fingers the clothing gngerly, help
leSsly, as though he expected his fingers to contain
magnet that would draw the missing suit to his
fnger-tps and his whistles call. Nexthe delivers
gratis dissertation on order versus disorder, and
then he begins to look in earnest. He builds
mountain of clothing on the floor; he takes things
down desperately, vigorously savagely, revenge
fully-anon the air grows blue, the whistling
ceases and he mentally resolves to build house
with sacred bachelors quarters and paddock at
tachment
He rarely finds the suit and more rarely gets the
house.
Then there is the married mans search for q

Arkansas.

Perhaps recapitulation of some of the naturaT
resources of Arkansas will be found interesting at
this time Her climate is, generally speaking,
salubrous and her agricultural advantages are I'M
equalled. Her soils are adapted to the cultivation
of corn, cotton tobacco and wheat, whilst almost
all fruits are easily grown here. Apples, peaches,
figs grapes and many of the small varieties do ex-
ceedingly we'll
Her forests comprise many different kinds of
valuable wood, such as oak, hickory, ash, syca-
more, sweet gum, poplar, elm, pine and others;
whilst her mineral wealth cannot be estimated.
She seems peculiarly rich in these deposits, and
her coa-beds furnish abundant supplies for manu-
featuring purposes,
Those seeking for homes in the sunny southland
would do well to investigate this matter They
will find that "one-half has never been told con-
corning her. The tide of immigration seems
steadily setting in in her favor, and soon her
"desert places will blossom as the rose"

its alluring, immaculate, highly polished bosom,
offers attraction to the betrayal Of his thrifty
principles He wants the one that has been laid
away the longest He seeks not in vain, and then
the air is full of sulphur and shirts
There is nothing man really enjoys hunting
for more than pair OF shoes; a particular pair
supposed to have been discarded. He may have
fifteen pairs, but every shoe of his foot is num-
bered, so to speak, in his mind. He loves to
scramble under beds and behind trunks and
through shoe-bags, with the zeal of government
suit and hat, but he invariably finds pair he
didn't know he had and his misery is in a measure
assuaged.
Then there is the collar-button hunt. While
men live they will continue to search for collar
buttons and collar-buttons will continue to seek
out snug,s inaccessible hiding places under beds
and washstands, and in among the lace and frizzes
in the upper bureau-drawer.
But bear up, frail man, in the world to come
there will be no more sorrow nor collar-buttons.
There is the morning paper, which is always
mixed in with the others and offers opportunities
for search and research rich and rare, and the but
ton-hook and the brush-broom, which get mixed
up in the boudoir chaos then there is the hammer
and the screw-driver, which the children had to
play with the day before the chase, and his notes
and receipts which he laid carefully away on the
sitting-room table three weeks ago.
True, the domestic hunting ground cultivates
many virtue in man. In its may, mysterious
byways turks hidden treasure that furnishes
ample opportunity for the exercise of his sporting
prociyities, Hewill doubtless continue while time
lasts to seach for comets, fCf hidden treasures in
the earth and in the waters under the EARTH but to
hunt for the prosey necessities of daily life, clearly
he regards it as a mistaken mission, with no tri-
umphs attending, and diligence virtue not worth
the cultivation.

The female of the past, which more nearly
matched her coarser mate, has changed into a

Her ''door-mat passion has arisen to its feet and
has developed into passion to succor and to save,

womanly instincts, which can no longer yield to
physical mastery Her affections and respect are
moved only by him who is a companion and hero,
by him whose gentleness is his greatness, whose

Mechanism of the Heart.


In the human subject the average rap
Idly of the oordiac pulsation of an adult
male Is about seventy beats per minute.
These beats are more frequent as rule
in children and in women, and there are
variations within certain limits in par
ticularities of organization. It would not
necessarily be an abnormal sign to find
In some particular individuals tbs habit
ual frequency of the hearts action from
sixty to sixty-fve or from seventy-fve to
eighty per minute. As rule, the hearts
action is slower and more powerful in
fully developed and muscular organiza-
tiOns, and more rapid and feebles in those
OF slighter form.
In animals the range is from twenty
FIVE TO forty-fve in the coldblooded, and
fifty upward in the warmblooded, ami
mails. except in the case Of a horse, which
has very slow heart beat, only forty
strokes minute. The pulsations of men
and all animals differ with the sea level
also. The work of healthy human
heart has been shown TO equal the feat of
raising five tons four hundredweight one
foot per hour, or 125 tons in twenty-four
hours. The access of this work under al
cohol in varying quantities is often very
great. A curious calculation has been
made by DIR. Richardson, giving the work
of the heart in mileage.
Presenting that the blood was thrown
out of the heart at each pulsation IN the
proportion of sixty-nine strokes per min
ute, aud at the assumed force of nine
feet, the mileage of the blood through
the body might be taken at 207 yards per
minute, seven miles per hour, 168 miles
per day, 81, 230 miles per year, or $780,
$50 miles In q lifetime or 81 years. The
number of beats of the heart in the same
long life would reach the grand total of

over the ground is thoroughly cultivated
aud the plants are hoed and fertilized.
Asparagus can be raised from seed, but
in starting small beds the best way is to
buy the plants. They can be procured at
small cost OF almost any seedsmen, and
will give the bed a start of atleast a year.
The soil should be we'll prepared rich
loan, and the plants should be set out in
rows Is inches apart and foot apart in
the row. Great care should be taken to
get the roats spread and well covered. In
the Northern States it is best to cover
the beds some time in the fall with three
or four inches of manure, and early in
the spring salt should be sown profusely
on the bed. Salt is one Ct the best fer
tilizers for asparagus, and raw bone is
excellent.
Asparagus is a luxury which every
farmer can possess, whether he lives at
the North Or South, and L advise al those
who do not already enjoy this most
delicious of vegetables to set out a bed of
asparagus this spring. It will do TO
begin cutting in year or two, after
which it will be source of pleasure as
well as of profit.

To Help q Horse.
Practical Farmer.

Almost any horse will do better when
fed cut food. This term means to cut
the hay or straw about fourth Of an
inch long, and then to soak in water for
six hours, and then to mix it with the
grain ration in the form of meal. When
prepared in this way horse will require
less hay and less grain in proportion,
and really do more work.
This mode of preparing their food is
especially beneficial to old horses, and
those which have the heaves or are at all
affected in their breathing. An old horse
actually running down on hay and whole
grain, will begin to thrive when its food
is prepared in this way. The benefits
are actually beyond the explanations of
science SO far as the composition of the
food is concerned. The benefits go be-
you'd the real virtue, or nutriment fur
nished by the food, and are found in
part in that which the food does not do.
It is in condensed form, but not so
condensed that the condition is unfavor-
able for digestion; but on the contrary,
most favorable, as there is medium and
proper combintion of coarse and fine
material, with iudicious balance of
constituents, all taken into the stomach
at the same time. Not so when hay and
grain are fed singly. There is then no
combination of food, and generally SO
much of the first is given that the action
of the respiratory organs is impeded,
and the dust arising from the hay is
drawn into the lungs, where it causes
irritation, and often is the beginning of
the disorder called heaves. All working
animals, including oxen, will 60 better on
cut food.
The saving in the amount of hay will
always pay for the extra labor. We had
an old horse, years ago, which could
hardly stand up when fed dry hay, on
account of the heaves. When fed moth
ing but oats soaked twelve hours he per
formed well and got fat, although worked
IN team every day. We are satisfied
that farmers, as rule, feed their horses
too much hay, and often too much grain.
They usually feed all the horses alike.
This is mistake. as nc two horses are
really alike in their ability to digest
food. Horses may be kept poor by over
feeding as well as By giving them too
little.
Corn meal is good for walking horse,
but not suited to one required to go on a
trot. 1t is never good food for horses
which have to exert themselves so as to
get heated, nor is it good food for horses
when it is expected that they will
move quickly. 1t is the food for the
slow horse as it makes fabby muscles
and sluggish action.
Oats, on the contrary, strengthen the
muscles and cool the blood. In the win
ter it will do to mix a portion of corn
with the oats TO help keep up the animal
heat.

Feeding Ratinns.

If we look back but short period cues
tions relating to the scientific feeding of
sock were scarcely known. Advice upon
the purely practical side of feeding was
frequently asked, says the London Agri-
cultural Gazette, but that there was sci
ent1fic side to the subject was, if known,
certainly not considered. There is evil
dence that many OF our best breeders
and feeders have arrived practically ct
that right adjustment of both quantity
and quality Of food which scientific feed
ing experiments show to be necessary.
These men are, however, the most anxious
of all for this scientific knowledge. They
want to Know why they have succeeded.
And is it not the chief aim of science to
give US ''the reason Why" alike of failure
as of success; while therein lies its chief
value to practical farmers? We must,
however, guard against the reaction from
'practice without principles" going to
extremes and becoming "principles with
out prsctice;" if so, it will OF ly result in
failure and disappointment. The quick
est way along the stream is down the MID
die; and In farming, also, we must avoid
extremes or we shall strike against the
bank and not make any progress. Sci
ence cannot take the place of practical
experience and knowledge. It is to the
farmer what the compass is TO the sailor,
which, though it shows him how to steer,
could rot himself control the vessel. We
have found out, rather late, unfortunately,
that a too implicit belief in artificial ma
nuring has led to much waste of money.
Let US remember the lesson, and not
make the same mistake with regard to the
feeding of our live stock. After all, prac-
| teal experience must be our main guide;
analysis of food is far from complete
| statement of the properties of that food.
Just as each animal we possess has an in
dividuality of it own, SO every article of
food has some special and peculiar prop
erty not revealed by chemical analysis
physiological property, we presume. But
| if chemical analysis does not give US every
fact connected with food, that is no reason
| why we should not utilize such infcrma-
ton as it does give. There can be no
| doubt that the animals that we feed need
the three Observation-Disclosures, fat and
| starch-to build up their bodies, and it
seems evident that these should be pres
ent in different relation to one another
| if we wish to make the most OF the other
| foods-in other words, if we are to feed
probably. Let, then, one and all of US
discover how far our practice meets this
demand, and, If not, how can we improve
it, for we may be sure that only good will
result from careful seasoning of our
practice with the dictates of science.
