Household Hints.

Many people are disappointed when they make
fruit cake by finding the fruit sink to the bot
the fruit is put in cold: second, it has not been
fanred third. the cake has been stirred too
much after the fruit is added. When fruit is to
be in cake, it must be warmed. Toured, and
added the last thing, only stirring just enough
to mix. It these matters borne in mind
there will be no failure.
A pretty little pocket pincushon may be made
by making small round cushion for founda-
ton and putting around the edge tiny band of
velvet in some bright color either plainly or
pulled as preferred To cover the edges of this

to place large ornamental button, one on each
side. The huge fancy metal buttons of a few
years since make very pretty cushions, and fancy
disks of mother Of pearl, carved wood, etc., may
also be used

long. and wind smoothly with narrow picot-

Some Experiments with Cattle.
Philadelphia Record.


The Agricultural College of Michigan has been
experimenting with the feeding of steers of diff
ferent breeds representatives having been
taken from the Short-hornS, Galloways, Here
fords, Holstens, Jerseys and Devons. They
were brought together at weaving time, cared
for under the conditions and a careful
record of the food consumed, its amount and
quality, made, as we'll as OF the mode of
MANAGEMENT. The animals were not selected
on account of phenomenal development, and 1T
is not out Of place to state that single test will
not positively demonstrate the value of any par
ticular breed. The ratio of gain is not in strict
accordance with the amount of food consumed,
and it is noticeable that the gain for each
month and the proportion of food consumed
vary greatly, so much so as to render 1t almost
impossible to estimate the exact gain an animal
should make on given quantity of food, but
the changes in the proportions OF hay and grain
as affecting the ratio of gain are very marked.
The greatest gain from day of birth was made
by a Holstein, and the lowest by Jersey, the
gain of the former having been LOB pounds
daily with the Galloway following, with daily
gain of 1.95 pounds; next came a Short-horn
with daily gain of ]. 81 pounds, the others hav-
ing been but little less But the gain in weight.
though somewhat regulated by the food
breeds as being capable of producing large
amount of beef at the lowest possible cost, for.
with the exception of the Jerseys and Devons,
the Holstein consumed less food than the others.
while the Jerseys and Devons did not gain in
weight even IN proportion to the food eaten.
Looking at this test in direction it is de-
cisiye victory for the Holstein a beef -produc
ing animal but as there were two Holsteins
represented the second animal did not show as
good record the first. yet its gain IN proper
ton to food consumed was greater while its
daily gain was fully equal to the steers of other
breeds. 1t is not to be supposed that this test
is disparaging to Short-horns. Galloways and
Herefords, for in a second test they may surpass

The Working of the Illinois Road Law.

j Nj.
A movement of the greatest importance is to
get the road tax payable in money. and not in
work. OF the good effects from this change
can speak from several years experience and
observation. In my neighborhood the highways
are much better now than they were when the
road tax was payable in labor. The poll tax
was the road tax, and nearly every farm LABOR
err had to ''work out" his poll tax, for with us
the farm laborers are usually residents of the
town for some years. These men had little IN
terest in good roads. and laborlng on the high
ways, which brought them together, was to
them more of frolic than anything else. Some
of their employers also set them very poor ex.
ample; and even more conn1ved at the frollc OF
their laborers, as giving the boys holiday on
the highways would excuse extra work on the
farm. Hence the farmers spent much time
cleaning their shovels and mending their har-
ness Ia mans shovel was never so bright and his
harness so strong at any other time as just after
he had worked the road). while the young
men had fun" The work done was small IN
quantity and very poor In quality
Now the taxis collectedin money. and the work
is publicly let to the lowest responsible bidder.
And as it costs more to have the work
done well than otherwise, make sure that
the specifications are carefully drawn and the
contract faithfully executed The men most
prone to do poor work themselves when the tax
was paid in labor, are now the most carefu! to
have the contractor do his work well. By law
the county surveyor, who Is required to be a
good civil engineer, is ex oficio a member OF the
committee of roads and bridges. and he assists
in drawing the specifications for work, and in
experimenting the work. No moneyls paid the
contractors until the work is done satisfactorily.
The change in the manner of payment of the
road tax has been beneficial that only very
small minority would care to revert to the old
method.
When the work is done by contractors, it is
more economically done, not only because the
people get the advantage from public competi-
ton for the work, but because the road makers
provide themselves with labor saving devices.
Under the old regime the town very rarely had
these; they cost so much that for a town to pur-
chase them. their use of course being confined
within that town. was not often good policy.
The cost often prevented their purchase when to
have bought them would have peen good policy.
They were used only q few days out of the year,
and the balance of the year they were often al
lowed to rust and rot The men who make a
business of road work are not compelled to limit
the work of grader, for instance, to one town,
and they find use for it for some months of the
year. Hence they can do work cheaper than
the town could, either with or without labor
saving road-making devices.

Professor Morse in stretching his wire. Here,
he said Governor Wallace has voted $40, 600 of
your money to enable Professor Morse to erect an
electromagnetic telegraph from Baltimore to
Washington City. He paused. Do any of you
