THE STRAWSONizER.
a Novel Agricultural implement at
the Paris Expositlon.

the Paris Exposition.
Perhaps no single implement at the
Paris exposition is attracting 80 much
attention rs the Strawsonizer, says the
American Agriculturist. In shape il
appears something like two-wheeled
cart, with some apparatus near the
axle and hopper above. 1t is an
automatic distributor, and will dis.
tribute in minute spray either liquid
or powdered fertilizers and insecticides
In the form of dry powder. The
claim is made that it will also broad.
cast all kind OF fine grain in any
quantity and with absolute evenness.
The broadcasting Of seeds. insecticides,
fertilizers, etc., can be done at the rate
OF from four to eight acres per hour. 1t
distributes these various articles in tho
fern OF spray. spreading them more
evenly in a subdivided condition than
was ever before attained. This can be
inferred from the fact that the Straw
sonizer will distribute as small guam
tity as fifty pounds Of nitrate of soda
per acre with great evenness, or one
gallon OF petroleum can be sprayed like
fine dew over an acre. With the
proper attachments the spray can be
thrown over the trees, hop-vines,
grape-vines, etc, and will doubtless
come into general use for applying
paris green and other insecticides to
orchards, vineyards, and potatoes. and
all other crops. For distributing
small quantities Of liquid poisons or
offensive matter it is especially valua-
BILE. The machine is worked by one
horse and boy to drive. The prac-
tica3ility Of the machine seems to have
been thoroughly demonstrated by re-
peated tests last year, and this season
several Strawsonizers are at work in
England and France. 1t is probable
that the Strawsonizer will be on tho
American market in 1890.

Keeping Grapes During Winter.

The cultivation of outdoor grapes for
domestic use has become so general that
the subject of keeping them for winter
and the best method may profitably claim
attention. Tho past season / selected
from one hundred varieties in my grounds
forty of those in general cultivatios, and
few very recent introductions, to test their
keeping qualities. 1t is the generally re-
ceived opinion that the thck-sknned ma
tive seedlings are the only keepers. This
Is correct so far as regards preserving fla
yor, but several hybrids of foreign blood
are tho best keepers known. The yarie-
lies intended to be laid up for winter use
should bc those only which adhere well to
The stem and are not inclined to shriyel
boon after removal from the vine. They
should be allowed to remain on the vine as
long as they are safe from frost; clear

The Economy of q Good Table.

Dainty cooking is what our housewives
should study. A good table does not de-
pend upon the amount of money spent,
but the manner in which it is spent. Let
every scrap yield all the nourishment in
its power Let every mistress turn her
attention to scientific cooking for three
months, and with her intelligence she will
serve better meals than o-thirds of the
so-called cooks. Vegetables and cereals
are wholesome and far less expensive than
meats, but of course we must, or at least
we think we must, have meat on our
tables twice day, if not in some families
three times. A meat table, is the most
costly and extravagant of all tables

He Was Used to Il.

The ways in which the eccentricitieS
Of Yankee character will show them
selves are innumerable. says the Bos-
ton Courier. and they are almost always
amusing. There is a noble disregard
OF circumstances in the genuine Yankee
which makes martyrdom so easily pos
sible that it is almost a pity that the
making of martyrs has so generally
gone out of fashion.
In the country. one day recently. the
editor was standing with some friends
on tennis lawn, when the horse Of
the village butcher, which was always
running away with that individual,
overturning his cart, throwing him out,
and performing like eccentricities.
came dashing madly ovey terrace
from tho street, Ainging the unfortu-
nate butcher into the tennis net with
shoulder OF beef on top of him, and a
big block Of ice thumpted with good
deal of force into his side. The fiery
steed completed his work by dragging
the wagon to which he was attached
over his PROSTATE master and then fly
ing away to demolish it and the lawn
turf together by careening along until
stopped by tree.
The butcher was taken up insens,ble,
and subsequent investigation showed
that he had two ribs broken. As soon
as he could be restored to conscious
ness one of the by-standers propounded
the usual conundrum whether he was
hurt. The injured man looked about
on the crowd, attempted to move and
found it impossible. gave a sickly and
apologize smile, and answered with a
feeble assumption of jauntiness most
melancholy to see:
"Oh, it's nothing. / don't mind it
I'm used to it,"

Hand in hand with her went he
And twas summer in the sea!
And the hoary sea and grim

Clasped and kissed the little form,
And the oceans heart was warm.
But upon the misty shore
Winter brooded evermore.
With that winter in my heart,
Oft in dead of night start

For those visions IN my sleep
Mind me of the yonder deep!

How to Feed Horses


Clark's Review says that: Physiol-
'Ogists and anatOmists inform us that
the stomach OF horse will hold about
sixteen quarts and the intestines 100
quarts, while the stomach Of an OK will
hold $50 quarts and the intestincs only
100 quarts. Considering digestion
takes place in the stomach of each, it
is important to know how each should
be fed. Food passes from both an
finals frequently undigested, and it
were we'll TO know the cause in both
cases. The OK chews cud. i. e., mas
ticates the food for second time.
Consequently, such food as requires
the most mastication should be given
him last or just before his hours of rest
and repose. And thus it is that when
corn is fed him in the morning. Just be-
fore turning him out to pasture or the
first thing in the evening, before his
rough food or that containing less nutri-
ment is given him, the former is seldom
il ever sufficiently masticated, and so
passes out OF the system with much OF
its nutritive qualities still in it. With
the horse the thing is quite different.
The masticatiOn is all done at one
and the same time and therefore
il is most important that the strongest
and most concentrated food be given
him first, so that the digestive organs
may have tine to act upon it. The
stomach only holds a certain amount
of food, with the necessary quantity OF
saliva Generally four times the weight
Of the food), TO aid in its digestion.
And if he is fed with hay Immediately
after eating his oats or corn, the latter
is forced out OF the stomach into the
intestines before its full strength is APP
propriated by the system, and so
passes out with much OF its nutritive
qualities still retained. So with water
ing horse Immediately aftor eating
his oats, or corn, the latter Is forced
along before it has been properly d.
gested. The stomach OF all domestic
animals is an intricate laboratory,
worthy the research of the best minds.
Notw outstanding which large class
of feeders act as If there was a straight
channel through the animal, and
therefore think that one who is capa-
be Of feeding threshing machine is
just as we'll qualified to feed horses
and cows; whereas really in the latter
case, the field of thought and expert
ment is SO large that much OF the time
| now spent in idleness could be prOfita-
bly, employed in learning the habits
and requirements of our domestic ami
mails, teaching the same TO our sons
and employees who do the feeding.
