UNDUE HASTE IN rArrENrNa.

Make haste slowly is good rule &c
apply generally. Animals that have been
summered ON grass will not bear, profit
ably, to be pushed on grain feed during
the fall, as haste in this direction dis
turbs digestion. Under the action OF
the laws of nature things are, many times,
made to afford rest TO follow an undue
exertion of given part, or of the whole
body. Under this law, the appetite is
taken away when over-feeding has been
practised, that compensation, through
rest of the digestive organs, may occur.
Disgust iof food always follows over
feeding; yet it is theorizing falsely to say
that il the beast gets too much food, it
will reduce the amount taken, volun.

ing less than an interruption of nutrition,
the body shrinking, This shrinkage can
only come from disordered action--a dis.
ease in itself. This must be recovered
from before nutrition can be resumed,
and during this time we suffer double
loss, namely through the shrinkage, in
the first place, and through delay from
deranged digestion, in the second place.
There is still another reason why dam
age may follow indiscreet feeding. Fer
mentation from indigestion may, to a
greater exent than we are aware of, dam
age the meat of the fattening beast. This
damage may happen to its keeping quail
ties as well as to its flavor. Nothing can
be more reasonable than that it should
happen to both. 1t is popular and
doubtless we'll founded belief that the
flavor of the growing animals flesh is
modified by the food that goes in at the
mouth. We know this to follow the
feeding of oil cake to the fattening steer.
Certain articles of fopd, notably milk and
butter, are tainted by near approach to
certain vegetables, as well as by being in
proximity to decaying or noxious sub
stances of any kind
The absence of tests in this direction
may rightfully be termed an oversight, for
the perfection of meats has not yet been
fully accomplished-is in fact one of the
things least Disseminated upon, and re.
ceives less attention than is given to any
other kind of food in use Therefore, we
deduce from the hints given, that the
fall feeding should be commenced with
care and moderation; the limit always
being inside of the possibilities of the
digestive powers of the fattening beasts.
Dainty rations at first, carefully added to
as the powers of digestion are developed

Newly Found Silk Makers.

We are accustomed to consider silk
solely as the product of the well-known
silkworm which feeds upon mulberry
leaves and has been so widely domestica-
ted in Europe, and even to some extent
in this country. But the truth is that
there are many other varieties of cater
pillar which furnish the same product,
and that in India alone fifty different kinds
of silk bearing insects are known. The
most important of these, the tussur moth,
feeds upon more than thirty different
species of plants, and the caterpillar
weayes a cocoon about four times the
size of that of the mulberry silkwom.
Great attention is paid to the rearing of
the tussur, and various religious ceremo
MES are employed in caring for it. The
large brown moth, which has -four
transparent eyes upon the wings, is ven
Grated and only people of certain caste
are permitted to approach it. 1t has been
domesticated in India for thousands OF
wears. while the cocoons of all the Other
species are collected wild from the jungle,
One of these feeds on the castor oil plant
and spins white cocoon. In China
also the silk from severfl varieties OF
worms is used; and in Japan, besides
the ailanthus caterpillar, there is spe
cies which until lately was reserved fol-
the exclusive use of the Miksdo, the ex
portation of the eggs being an offence
punishable with death. Some of them
however, have been carried to France,
where an attempt, which promises to be
successful, is making to cultivate this

SUN RISE.

One rose before the dawn, and stole along
The dull shore waiting for the light to be;
That he, before the unimpatient throng,
Might watch the sunrise ON the splendid
sea.
And one who cared not for the glorious sight,
But for the joy to come with that first ray,
Ran 10 his easement 10 greet there the light
That ushered in for him his weddng-day,
But to the One who gives both sea and shore,
Who from the darkness light and gladness
frees,
Rises the sweetest hymn forevermore
Not from the lips of such glad souls as
these.
But from the bed where one all night has
lain,
Shilling his means to let his watchers sleep,
Who suddenly across his bed of pain
Sees the faint gray of early morning creep,
He cannot haste with eager eyes to see
Its coming; whether it be dull or fair,
This day that dawns, he knows not; it may be
1t brings him suffering keener still to bear.
All, God how great the gift that Thou hast
given,
When those who only know the night is
past
Send to Thee, in Thy far-off, silent heaven,
The gladdest thanks that day has dawned
at last!

STARTING A POULTRY YARD.

This is good time of the year for be-
ginners in the business to commence keep
ing poultry A correspondent of the
Orange Judd Farmer has written the fol
lowing hints for beginners. He says:
Let me here indicate in brief, from my
own experience and observation, what
you ought to do for success with poul-
try:
Never set your hens with the laying
fowls. have done this and suffered loss
by it. Sitting hens should be kept quiet;
no one should 90 near them but the at
tendant.
One cock is sufficient for the same flock
of hens. usually give one to ten hens.
Keep an egg record. Be accurate in
this. Keep an account of profit and loss
this will help you in many ways.
Have warm, dry house facing south.
Be particular about this in our climate
Always isolate sick fowl A mistake
here often destroys the whole flock
Do not overfeed your birds. Feed just
what they will use up without waste. Fat
hens are poor layers. Too high feeding
renders the digestive organs weak and in
duces disease more than anything else.
Do not change blood too frequently.
1t will run your hens out to do so every
year. You can improve your stock in
this way: Each season pick out say five
of your best pullets and one cockerel and
breed from these Next year take the
same plan. After doing this three years
you can change the blood by buying a
pure breed cock from some reliable
breeder. Never mind if you pay good
price, as the dearest is the cheapest in the
end. This is my experience.
See that your hens have good run, SO
that they can take enough exercise. Idle
ness leads to mischief in the case of hens,
as in the case of higher class of bipeds.
Never breed from hens over three
years old as the stock in such cases is
usually weak. Make up your breeding
pens early in the season.
My experience with Leghorns ha;
taught me that chickens Matched in April
or May do the best, as they grow rapidly.
You don't want "Asiatics" so early, a:
they feather slowly. May, and even
June, will do for them in this climate.
You, as beginner, may now be in
clined to say: "This is too much work.
Let me, from an experience of twelve
years, state the simple fact: That sue
cess in poultry raising depends largely or
these seemingly trifing details. Every
little detail tells in the result desired.

AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.

As this is the season for county fairs,
farmers should endeavor to take time to
visit one or more. See what other farm
ers are doing, and if any have had good
success in growing better fruit or vege-
tables, or raising better stock than the
rest, strive to learn their methods. The
mission of the agricultural fair Is two
fold. First, to show us what is better
than that we have, and to awaken our
ambition to equal it; and next to teach
us better methods of doing our work,
that we may produce better results. A
day spent by an observing farmer or
gardener among those who are engaged
in the same business should be profit
able day, for the wisest will not fail to
find some ono who can teach him in some
branch of his varied business, or at least
suggest some idea which will enable him
to teach himself. The information which
a farmer gains by searching after it, by
study and experiment, is more valuable
to him, and is remembered longer, than
that gained by readin, or from lectures,
or rather, it is that which makes lee
lures and reading most useful to him.

A Dog without a Brain.

At the last meeting of German neuro-
logists, held in Baden Baden, Professor
Goltz, of Strassburg, reported most re-
markable experiment He cut out, in
two operations, almost the entire cere-
Drum of dog, leaving only the cerebel-
lum and small portion of the base of
the cerebrum The animal lived for
tifty-one days after the last operation,
and then died Of pneumonia The re-
markable part of the experiment was the
influence it had on the dog, who, few
hours after the operation, raised himself
on his hind legs, put his paws over the
side of his box, and looked inquirngly
around. He could walk, eat and drink,
and would chew any food that was placed
in his mouth Waking and sleeping al
ternated naturally. He was restless be-
fore feeding, but afterward would be-
come quiet and sleep. A slight touch
would awaken him from sleep. During
urination and DELEGATION the animal as
sumed the normal position. Hearing,
taste and smell were, of course, absent

RESTRICTION ASSURES SUCCESS.

The Orchard and Garden credits the
late E. p. Roe with the following sensible
remarks; "The secret of success in
small fruit culture might be found in two
words-stimulation and restriction. BY
stimulation he meant thoroughly pull
verified and enriched soil. This is es-
pecially essential to the strawberry, the
foreign raspberry, and all the currants. A
rampant growing raspberry like the Cuth-
bert or Turner, and our vigorous blackber-
ries, do not require stimulation, but they do
restriction. BY restriction he meant the
development of fluit rather than wood or
vines. Set out strawberry plant in very
rich, deep, moist soil, and its tendency
is to follow the great law of nature and
propagate itself; but to the degree that
it makes plants it cannot make fruit.
Cut off every runner and enormous fruit
buds are developed. The sap is damned
up as miller restricts a stream, and the
result is strawberries that are double in
size and quantity. This is equally true
with raspberries, Currant bushes crowded
with wood bear but little fruit"

HINTS FOR HOME DREssMAKING.

No facings are used on the bottoms of
aesthetic house dresses, A WIDE hem,
which must be lined with crinoline, is
turned back about six inches and side
plating of India linen or null in the
same side as the gown is set underneath
as Il balayense, not showing below the
hem of the gown. A little tin machine
for making side and knife plaitings can
be purchased at a trihing cost, and is al
most as valuable as sewing machine IN
house where much of the sewing is
done at home. Knife plaitings are used
on everything, but are not sewed on in
the old-style fashion; the plaits must be
fine and the entire plating gathered on.
If for a iabot it is left more full at every
turn, as if it were rounding corner.
An easy way to get a pretty effect in a
sleeve is to gather an outside onto fitted
lining, end it at the elbow with knife
plated frill about six inches wide,
gathered extremely full at the back.
In making over bodice for house
gown get null or crepe like the material
in color for sleeves, no matter whether
other trimmings of null are used. This
gives dressy effect. Chicago Herald.

VITALITY Of EeIs.

About four miles from Norwich, says
an English paper, Is situated the village
of Hallville, on one of the tributaries of
the Thames River. During the present
fall it became necessary to repair the dam
which furnished the waterfall for a large
wooden mill at the above named place.
In taking away the dam live eels were
found in dry dirt three feet below the
surface of the road-bed and twelve feet
from any water. One of these eels
weighed one and one-quarter pounds,
and they were very lively and seemed all
right, as the men who examined them
took them home, had them cooked and
ate them. We place this on record,
knowing the parties who have furnished
the data TO be absolutely truthful. We
have in our time chronicled some re.
markable cases of eel migration and
other facts connected with their peculiar
life, but this beats anything we have ever
yet known in reference to the eel family.
