HISTORICAL FACTS.

The name United States of Amer
lea was first applied to the colonies
in the famous pronunciamento for
American liberty, the Declaration OF
independence, made July 4, 1776.
In 1912 the legislature of Virginia
prohibited dealing by barter and
abolished the tobacco currency. 1t
established the Spanish dollar, at
six shillings, as the standard of cur
rency for the colony
The earliest recorded public cele-
bration of Washington's birthday is
the observance of that day in Rich
mond, Va, in 1882. The next year
the anniversary was publicly cele-
brated at Talbot Courthouse, Md,
and year later in New York. 1t
was celebrated on the 18th day of
February until the year 1893, when
it was changed to the 22d, to adapt
it to the new styles of reckoning.
Capt. Gray of Boston in the Wash
ington explored the Pacific coast
north and south of Nootka sound,
in 1890, and afterwards returned
home by way of Canton, China, and
Cape of Good Hope, being the first
American to circumnavigate the
globe. On subsequent visit in the
Columbia to the Pacific, he entered
the mouth of the Oregon river, and
gave to it the name of his vessel,
which name the river still bears.

FRUITS As FOOD.

1t may be positively asserted that
even the modern house-keeper, intel
ligent above her predecessors though
she may be, still fails to appreciate
the value of fruits. Nothing among
all the productions of our bOuntifll
Mother can compare in richness and
beauty, with their hues and flavors.
Above all they give tone to the di-
gestive organs, antidOte hillary de-
engagements. and afford an innumer-
able variety of dishes at once delicate
and NITROUS Who rightly values
the worth of the Northern apple or
of the date. that fruit which for three
forths of the year furnishes the staple
food of an Oriental race?
Every breakfast-table in the land
ought each day to have a central
dish of fruit, either cooked or in its
native state. Oranges and melons,
apples and grapes, figs and dates,
currants and the royal line of berries,
cherries and goOseberries, plu1ns and
pears, apricots and peaches, bananas
and grape fruits, all are rounded in
outline, exquisite IN colOring and de
liciOus TO the taste.
In one respect all fruits are alike
They should be eaten only when per
fectly ripe and as fresh as they can
possibly be procured The unfortu-
nate denizens of large cities may be
compelled TO consume them after be-
ing hawked about the streets and
pIentifuIly sprinkled with dust. but
that is the price they pay for other
privileges.-[Good Housekeeping.

HEREDITARY DISEA SEES IN THE

fxfiMELY FARM TALK.


Feeding for Manure The Value of Bran
as Food for Stock.
The feeding of cattle for manure is a
subject for profitable study through
the winter. Manure is the most val
liable crop that farmers can produce.
1t can not be purchased except in the
shape of costly fertilizers, or at eX-
orbitant prices that farmers can not
afford. At its usual market value of
$3.50 to So per ton it is largely used
by thousands of farmers. But it can
be made for much less than this price,
Milking COWS use up 20 per cent. of
the manurial elements of their food,
young stock 10 per cent. and fatten-
ing cattle only per cent. A ton of
straw and ton of hay fed with 500
pounds of cottonseed meal will make s
tons of manure, and will be fully re-
turned in the form of flesh or
fat, or milk and butter. So that the
farmer who buys these feeding sub
stances will have at the above men,
toned market prices fully 500 worth
of manure, clear profit from the food,
if he doesn't make any thing from the
stock.
Bran is one of the most profitabl,
as well as wholesome foods for all
kinds of stock. 1t contains 10 per
cent. Of heterogeneous matter and 81 per
cent. OF fat with about so per cent of
carbonaceous substances. Hence, for
feeding young animals and milking
cows, it is one of the very best of
foods. 1t is above the normal standard
of nutritive ratio, having of nitrog-
| enous substance to of carbonaceous,
gainst the normal ratio of / to
81. Hence it is of all the more value
| for making manure rich in nitrogen
and is consequently a most desirable
food when stock is kept for the i'm.
provement of land. At the ordinary
value of the food clements it is worth
81. 10 per 100 pounds for feeding, and
when it can be bought at that price is
as good a purchase as if one procured
81. % for a dollar; that is, the pur-
chaser may make % per cent. profit
on every dollar expended. For feed.
ing store pigs, calves and colts it is
the cheapest food that can be pur.
chased. And the purchase of food i,

A Stampe EIDE of Sheep.

A correspondent of the London
Times relates remarkable occurrence
which took place on the night of Sat-
urday, November 3, 1888. He says:
"At time as near eight o'clock as
possible the tens of thousands of sheep
folded in the large sheep-breeding dis
tricts north. east and west of Reading
were taken with sudden fright,
jumping their hurdles, escaping from
the fields, and running hither and
thither; in fact. there must for some
time have been a perfect stampede.
Early on Sunday morning the shep-
herds found the animals under hedges
and in the roads, painting and fright
ened as If they had been terror-strick-
en-. The extentof this remarkable oc-
currence may be judged when we men,
ton that every large farmer from
Wallingford on the one hand to ivy
ford on the other seems to have had
his sheep thus frightened, aud it is al
so noteworthy that with only two or
three exceptions the hill country north
of the Thames seems to have been
principally affected" 1t is suggested
that there may have beer slight
shock Of earthquake.
