rruthfulne,s of the Pictures Drawn by
 Dickens in .'Diiver Twist"
 Very early in his career, in "Olivef Twist. Charles Dickens drew a terri bly lifa-like picture of the dirt, the saualor, the fetid atmosphere and the ruliianly surroundings of the police office, then the scandal of liattop Garden. and not long bsfura his death the great novelist made incidental mention of '.yiilaiuou5 police court as a placo yet actually existing Il did exist. During tAe Accountability years over which the literary activity of Dickens extended ths old police court iu Bow street -.a5 chief one, fl must bo remembered, in thc metropolis had undergone little, if any, struct. ural reform. It was Co most intents and purposes a3 "Vi.lalaous. as 1t had been ia the d tys Of Sir JOhu Fielding and Sir Richard Bruia, although dirty, noiaome and uncomfortable as Il continqed to be, it WAS considered a vast improvement on inc police tribu. nals oi the past Ia the days whcL Harry Fielding Was a atipaudary nagis- trate he ,o.rowfully confessed that his stipend Was mlIo up of "t4e dirtiest money in the world.

Couon-seed Makes Cheap Beef.

A series of feeding tests at the Penn sylyania Agricultural College. very carefully conducted. show unmistall- ably that cOttou-sccd meal at current prices is one of the cheapest feeds for fatteninS animals After three winters of feeding experiments, it was found that if cotton-seed meal is judiciously combined with corn meal it can take the place Of more than its own weight of corn meal. lt was also evident that when the price of cotton-sced meal is not much greater than that of corn meal, the former can be fed profitably to beef cattle Since thi, statement is made without any reference to the manurial value of the two meals, it certainly is not exaggerated. Many farmers do not know that the quantity of nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid contained in a ton of corn meal is so small that it would cost only about S6 to buy as much of these clements in the form Of commercial fertilizers. In cotton-seed meal, on the contrary, tho amount of plant food it contains Is so great that it will cost 52S to supply in the form Of commercial fertilizers the manurial elements contained In ono ton of cotton-sa-d meal. Certainly no more arguments should be needed to convince cattle fcaGors of tho profits, both direct md indirect, to Do derived from this food -ince most of its inanurial elements are retained in the manure. iaym alId Home.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

In many ina.aDceJ it is more prof. table to p1o@ under the second crop of clover thoa to cut it for either hay or seed.
 Clover should be grown more nbun}&utly than it i5 on many farms. When properly cured it makes very nutritious hay containing more muscle and milk-making material than ordi- nary hay.
 It is the custom of a great many farmers to burn wheat and oat straw. This should never be done, even with an abundant supply of timothy and clover. Cattle, horses and sheep will eat straw for a change.
 For an apple c.a:&rd pudding use one pin of -ra,. 1bteaa crumbs, soaked in a pint of cald sweet milk; add a pinch of salt, and It.. meg or cinnamon, Add four beaten eggs and three or four well-favorcd apples grated. or sliced fine. Add sugar to sweeten, a pint of new milk, and d small piece of butter Bake in moderate oven in a deep dish. It may be eaten with or without sauce.
 So much depends upon the woman that we might almost pronounce the happiness or unhappiness of the home to be womans work. No nation can advance except through the improve ment of the nations homes; and they can only be improved through the in- strumentality of women. They must know how to make homes comfortable; and before they can know they must have been taught. Samuel Smiles.
 Farmers generally do not yet fully appreciate the value of bran as feed ing substance. It contains less oil than corn meal but one-fourth more fesh-f forming, bone building material hcalthful. By analysis it's manuria' value after being fed to animals is rather more than double that of meal Bran can usually be bought in the fal ! for about one-third less than in winter
 Valuable discoveries arc ofter made by accident. For example, al Arkansas farmer relates that last year when coons made great havoc in his corn-feld, he went to drug store tC buy strychnine with which to xii them. By mistake the druggist gave | him morphine, and the next morning l he found his corn-iield full of sleeping coons. He advises the use of nor phine instead of strychnine for tho "varmints.
 Steamed Corn Bread.-Two cup corn meal, one cup of flour, three scant cups of sour milk, two table spoons of sugar, one large tablespoon of lard, one teaspoon of soda, one tea spoon salt. Stir the sugar and salt il mixed flour and meal; add melted lard 1 dissolve the soda in little boiling

Beat yer. hard; pour it into small tiff pail wei greased and with tight fitting top l Set this in pot of boiling water guarding carefully against the wate coming over the top of the mold 1 Boil three hours, turn out and ca with hard pudding sauce.

BRAN FOR FEEDING.
Practical Conclusions Reached by the
 GueIph (pnt.) Faculty.

Practical Conclusions keacHeu DN tht
 Gueiph (ont) Faculty.
 In bulletin of the Agricultural Col lege at Guelph, Ont, Prof. C. c. James states in detail the chemical composition of bran, and adds tho fol- lowing practical conclusions as to it's characteristics for feeding purposes;
 l. Bran is a concentrated food, which, though yariahlein composition, possesses high nuhitive value.
 ,. Roller-proccss bran is, on the average. richer than old-process bran.
 3. It's excess of ash or mineral mat ters cmincntly fits it for bone building in growing animals, and for supple menting the lack of mineral matters in roots
 1. Its chemical composition points to the conclusion that it is somewhat better adapted to the formation of fat and production of heat than to the for nation of muscle or of milk.
 ,. Both it's chemical composition and its physical form adapt il admirably as a supplementary food, to be used in connection with poor and bulky fod- der such as straw and roots,
 6. Its manurial or fertilizing value alone repays it's cost.
 7. By retaining and feeding the bran upon the farm the objection to selling the grain is partly overcome, viz, the exhaustion of the soil, since the bran retains most of the mineral matters which can not be derived from the air

A WORD 10 GIRLS.
Humble Duties That Are Prime Factors in
 Making Home Happiness.


 Sweeping, gardening, dusting and bed-making are among the humble duties that make up the routine of home work. They are not calculated to stimulate the intellect or make bril- liant minds, but they are prime factors in making home happiness, for they teach order, neatness and cOnsidera- ! tion for others, without which no wOm- an can be a true lady. The girl who rcfrains from lending assistance which will promote the comfort of others, on the score of it being beneath her, as a lady, has very poor idea of the mean ing of the word and a nature so in- nately vulgar that no amount of fash ionable veneering can hide the warp ing of a teitish mind. If girls only knew much more attractive they could make themselves by assuming some of the cares of this work-a day world this reluctance to be thought worker would vanish.
 Girls are full of kindly impulses, which word or two at the right time will bring out The bcscttlng sin ot the women of the nineteenth century is misdirected energy, too much solic- itation for affairs outside of home, and a love of luxury which threatens to ef- face the sturdy honesty which grasps every duty and raises it to virtue through the force of it's own integrity ofpurpose. Oar girls have all noble qualities which youth can be expected to possess. When false ideas have given place to the practice of those little things that go so far to- ward making home the happy place which influences so many destinies the world will be all the better, girls, though your hands may not be so white, and sweeping will be an every day occurrence.-DetroU Irib. alQC

To Prevent Chicken Cholera.

Among tho means of preventing the further spread or rayages of chicken cholera may be mentioned the destruc- ton and burning of all diseased chick. ems; tho destruction to tulte place where other poultry can not get ac- cess to the blood. Also, the caraiul removal and covering of all dung, sur face of ground and old woodwork where the diseased poultry were kept, The thorough cleansing, seraping, whitowashing and disiafcction of the houses and adjoining ground with chloride of lime solution, not forget. ting nests and, feeding troughs, etc. Temporarily remove healthy poultry to other and cleaner quarters. Al
 ways provide clean and fresh drinking water in which may be kept some rusty iron. Avoid confinement in close quarters. Treatment of diseased one' is generally useless - Chicago Jo@rna
