The Feeding Of Animals.

In the feeding of animals it should
not be forgotten that the manure is to
be valued as the feeding is poor or
rich. Poor food makes poor manure.
rich food makes rich manure. Manure
from straw-fed animals is next to worth
less; that from animals fed upon clover
hay, cottOn-seed meal, bran. peas, wheat
middlings and linseed meal is rich and
contains as much fertilizing matter as,
If purchased from the dealer, would
cost very nearly as much as the
feed itself. This is bugbear
and a paradox to many farmers,
but it is as true as that taken
from leaves 4. and these figures apt
ly represent this absolute fact. For If
the above rich feeds are valued at S
in money, the cows or horses or pigs
or beeves take the value of 81 out OF
them. leaving 81 for the farmer in the
manure. And it is equally true that
the S worth of these foods, if judici-
ously used, will bring to the farmer
fully S or IS or more in the growth OF
the animal. Was not then, the wise
Cicero quite right when he said the
feeding of animals is the most import
ant part of husbandry?-M Y. Times.

LAuRELs AND IMMoRTELLes.

He has solved the wonderful problem,
The deepest the strangest, the last
And into the school OF the angels,
With the answer, forever has passed.
How strange that, in spite Of our questions
He malseth no answer, nor tells
Why SO soon were honoring laurels
Displaced by Gods own ImEortelles.
How strange he should sleep so profoundly,
So young, SO unworn by the strife:
While beside him, full Of hopes nectar,
Untouched, stands the goblet Of life. :.
1t is idle to talk Of the future,
And the might have been" mid our tears;
God knew all about it, yet took him
Away from the on-coming years.
God knew all about it-how noble,
How gentle he was, and how brave.
How brilliant his possible future
Yet put him to sleep in the grave.
God knew all about those who loved him,
How bitter the trial must be;
And right through Il all, God is LOVING,
And knew SO much better than We.
So in the darkness be trustful,
One day you shall say: 1T was well
God took from his young brow earth troubles,
And crowned him with Deaths Immor.

dollars an acre and didn't do it They
wanted one hundred dollars. They
thought the railroad was comm

An American Girls Queer Adventure in
the German Capital

An American Girls Queer Adventure in
the German Capital
American girls who live abroad un-
chaperon ed are often subjected to in
dignities of startling kind. 1t is not
usual, however, that a cabman fur
nishes material for a gossip story. yel,
one young woman has had an advent
ure with man of this class which
she will not soon forget. She is the
daughter of a prominent politician
who has held many Offices of distinc-
ton. and is spending the season in
Berlin. Calling carriage, in the
early hours of the morning after
brilliant ball, the young woman started
home. 1t is customary in Berlin.
when sending a girl home in cab. to
require ticket which the jehu is COM
PEELED to give, upon which are his
number and the price of the trip and
which, in case of any accident. can be
used in evidence. The escort of the
American girl had neglected this. The
journey led her through lonely part
of the Thiergarten, where, even in
the daytime, people seldom walk.
When in the darkest corner the cab
suddenly stopped, the driver descend
ed from his box, opened the door and
thus addressed the young lady: ''Miss.
have often heard that a kiss from the
high ladies tastes better than. one from
our people, and am going to know
for myself"
With that he stretched out his hands,
covered with their buckskin gloves,
clasped the girl about the neck and
drew her, screaming, toward him.
Resistance was impossible, her cries
were unheard, and the coachman's
lips touched her own. With tho ag-
gravating remark: mot bit!" he
closed the door and continued the
journey. assisting his victim to alight
when the destination was reached.
The young lady rushed into the house,
not waiting to pay her fare. and spent
hours scrubbing her lips. She had no
means of identifying the scoundrel,
and he escaped unpunished.-Berlin

HINTS TO DAIRYMEN.
The Best Foods for Either Butter or
Cheese Making.

The Best Foods for Either Butter or
Cheese Making.
New York Dairy Company Brown.
summing up the experiences OF dairy
men who met at the Utica Conference
last summer. says that nothing is bet
ter for either butter or cheese making
than the natural grasses of our past
ures. Grass is always complete food.
In summer it may be supplemented
with extra foOd-for instance, three
parts of wheat bran, one of corn-meal
and one of cottOn-seed or linseed-meal,
by weight. Oats and corn. ground
and mixed, make excellent food for i'm
proving the quantity and quality of
m ilk.
The first ration named is the best
calculated to produce the richest milk.
A strong ration would be four pounds
of bran. two of cotton or linseed-meal
and two of corn-meaL Half of this
ration, fed daily during the milking
season. will be found to keep up the
flow of milk. increase the yield of but
ter, and keep the cows in a thrifty and
fine condition. especially where the
pasture is reduced. When there is a
scarcity of food in the fields, it is OBJ
vious that to get flow of milk and to
keep up profitable income from the
COWS, extra food of some kind must
be provided. No perfect article OF
either butter or cheese can be made
when the cows drink stale water, nor
water impregnated with foul OdOrs
or germs; such water will faint the
product. This fact can not be too strong
~ impressed upon dairymen.
Milk designed for any use should
never be shut up in tight vessels. and
SO retain all the animal odors and its
natural temperature. The sooner milk
is cooled. and well ventilated at the
came time. the better it will be for
any use. Every dairyman who handles
milk should have a cooling-room
where the cans of milk may be set
away sfrom all odors, and in tanks
filed with cold water, or with ice put
into them. The Commissioners does
not recommend excessive cooling; to
cool the milk down to a temperature
of forty-five degrees is about right II
possible. it should be kept there until
it Is taken to the factory or sold to
the milkman. Cream will rise sooner

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

The best gardeners say that the
porous common pots are not 80 good
for house plants as those glazed or
painted outside. The reason is that
evaporation is constant from the por-
Gus pots. and the roots are not only
Ndrier but colder for it.
Ham Patties.-Chop ham fine; add
sliced onion, salt and pepper to taste.
and half of the quantity of soaked
bread or cooked rice; mix together
with two beaten eggs; make into patties;
sprinkle with -four, and fry or bake in
one pan with butter on top.
Mushrooms with toast-Remove
the stems. put tops side by side in =
butter dish, cover them with bits of
butter, sprinkle with pepper and salt.
and bake. Have large slices of bread
nicely toasted. and lay the mushrooms
on them.-Fdrm and Fireside.
The winter is the proper time to
procure the necessary garden seeds
for the spring. If delayed until the
planting season opens the seeds may
not reach you in time owing to the de-
mand. This is also an excellent time
for asserting the seeds and selecting
only the best
Damp floors cause cold. due to
evaporation. The feet of animals are
injured, and disease of the limbs occur
when they are compelled to stand or
sleep on damp locations. The bed Of
the animal is very important 1t is
economical to use clean, dry material
daily, and not delay changing the bed
ding until the whole is saturated.
Roast Spare-Ribs.-Chop the bone
once or twice, then cut into small
pieces, place in bake-pan, with salt
and pepper to taste. sprinkle with
powdered sage, pour over one cup Of
water, place in a pretty hot oven and
bake one hour. Make dressing. same
as for poultry, and when meat has
baked one-half hour cover with the
dressing.-7oledo Blade.
Fruit juices are now put up, and
do not require rs much sugar as when
the fruit is canned. Only enough sugar
is used with the juice of any kind of
fruit desired. the whole brought to
boil and sealed in cans in the ordinary
mode. If cider is slightly boiled and
bottled it will keep for any length of
time. The boiling and sealing prevents
fermentation.
An important discovery (if his
experience is confirmed next season)
has been made by a gardener. who
claims that the elder is not attacked
by any kind of insect. and that when
he covered the cabbages. squash. Gu
cumbers and other plants with leaves
of the common elder bush the insects

Semi. Centennial Honey.

London Public Opinion.
A remarkable discovery has Just been
made at the Cathays yard of the Taft
Vale Railway company. A large elm
tree, grown in Worcestershire, was be-
cut up into timber, when, right in the
very heart, a cavity measuring eight
feet by seven and half inches in diam
eter was discovered almost completely
filled with the comb Of the honey bee,
together with squirrels skull. No
means of access to the hollow was
dlscoverable, neither was any de-
cay anywhere apparent, and around
the cavity itself no less than fifty
rings" each ring denoting a years
growth, were counted, the outer bark
being, too, without flaw. The hollow
was of uniform size throughout, and
presented the appearance of having
been bored with an auger, and, great
though its dimensions were. it was
practically filled with the comb, PROV
ing that the bees must have been in
possession for several years. Empty
combs of the queen bee also showed
that they had swarmed. How the bees
got there can only be guessed,
but it is surmised that a squirrel
once occupied a decayed hole in
the tree, cleared away the decay
occupied the cavity as its own. and
there died. Then the bees entered into
possession and filled the whole with
comb, when, by some means the en-
trance, which must have been small,
became stopped, the large quantity of
grub and fly being taken as demonstrat.
i've that the nest was not voluntarily
deserted. Then for fifty years the
growth of timber went on. The Ell.
trance being absolutely obliterated, and
the hole being Theoretically sealed, the
comb was preserved from decay for
half century, to be found at last in
the way described. The find is of the
greatest interest to naturalists.
