When the great African explorer wai
by many persons given up as lost, and
even the most sanguine were full offeaI
for his safety, says the Irish News, there
was one woman in London who never
doubted that he would return.
The woman was Stanley's landlady.
Whenever any one suggested the pos
sibility that he might never be heard
from again, she replied with perfect
confidence
Mr. Stanley has not given up his
rooms, and l am sure he will return.
Stanley did return, though the world
in general has not until recently been
aware of the imperative engagement
which made it impossible for him to do
otherwise

3. The work ofthe station has estab-
lished beyond question the immense
practical ~aMe of the siJo. During the
past season careful digestion expert
ments were made with orchard grass,
and it Was found that the ANIMALS dir
gested an average of 33i pounds of each
1900 pounds of fresh orchard grass fed
them, and a recently concluded expert
ment has shown that ofthe corn en-
silage which is now being fed at the
station thesanimals digest of each 1000
pounds fed them 31S pounds. or a frac-
ton over 30 per cent. of the amount
obtained from orchard grass, and that
the amounts of nltro8nous Matter, fats
and carbohy drates in both ensllage, as
made at the station, and fresh orchard
grass are practically the same, 50 that
OR dairymen may, if they will, carry
their animals through the winter upon
rations which are practically the same as
those of summer, when our meadows and
pastures are at the best.
4. Finally, another result, of the
greatest practical value to our farmers,
shows them how their lands may be not
only maintained, but increased In fer
tilIty, and that without restoring to the
use of these expensive commercial fer
tilizers, in the purchase of which there
is the greatest danger of fraud, since
there is in this State ne law by which
the farmer may be protected. Now it
has been shown at the station that while
ration costing daily H.27 cents was
peing fed dairy cows, the manure OBJ
tanned had value of q fraction above
20 per cent. of that OF che ration, and
that the liquid portion was worth Gcents
daily, while the solid was worth but 4
cents. 1t will be seen that estimated at
the same prices which the farmer pays
for the fertilizIng constituents ofany of
the commercial fertilizers, the annual
value of the manure from a herd of
cows, at ration costing but 14.27 cents
daily, is ST. 25

TIE DAIRY.
Facts of Dairymen.

DR.. Collier, the Director of the New
York Agricultural Experiment Station
at Geneva, has already secured nearly
thirty choice representatives, of six of
the leading breeds OF dairy cattle for
purposes OF Investigation, to determine
their relative value III the production of
milk, butter and cheese under different
rations. as also. IN the course of the
work, to continue the investigation of
the various methods used in the produc-
ton OF butter and cheese.
We give a few preliminary points al
ready brought out by the Investigations
at the station as given by DR.. Collier.
l. We have been furnished with the
figures OF amounts of rations fed by ten
of the leading and most successful
dairymen and breeders of the State. AS
evidence of this | would say that the
average of three of them who turn their
attention 70 the production of butter is
3b3 pounds of butter per COW annually,
from l5O To 200 per cent. more than the
average of the State as whole.
Well. now, one of these ten feeds his
COWS a daily ration costing rs cents per
COW, while another, getting practically
as good results, feeds ration costing
II cents per cow per day; the feed of one
costing exactly loo per cent. more than
the feed of the otIer. But a saving of
1cent day upon the dairy cows of New
York is over $4,000 daily. nearly &c.
600. 900 year. But here is difference
between our most intelligent dairymen
of IA cents per day. Stillanother feeds
ration costing 81 cents day, or 125
per cent greater.
2. 4 recent test of two of the COWS of
the station shows the one to give 60 per
cent. more milk upon the same amount
of the same kind of food than does the
other COW, and this milk is not only
more abundant. but is better. for. with
the same careful setting and churning,
II yields az per cent. more butter than
does the other; and yet these cows are to
all appearance SO much alike, and are
both recently in milk, that it is doubtful
whether one would at auction bring S.
more than the other. Now can anybody
doubt that every herd of cows in the
State, whether of one breed or another
or no breed. will show even greater
differences than those found by us in
these two cows which have mentioned
above?
These facts must be impressed upon
our dairymen. and when they are fully
understood IL will result in an increase
OF millions and millions of dollars an
nually to the products of our dairy in
dustry. aud reyolationiZe the agriculture
of the State.
To show how the annual product Of
the dairy industry of the State may be
doubled, its quality improved without
increase OF cost, is one of the leading
features OF the present work of the
station, and there appears every reason

Horses Feet.

An experienced sheer claims, in the
New York Tribune, that most lll-shaped
feet were 50 the first time the horse was
taken to the shop. Several in his town
have the feet OF their colts trimm ed
everv few months until they are sho6,
and he never saw an imperfect foot on
one of them. Colts are born with per-
feet feet. Nature intended them to
run on the ground constantly, and #
they did, their hoofs would wear away
evenly; but, instead, they are kept i'll
doors five months of the year; the noOfS
become long and break off In pieces from
time totlme.
If a considerable piece breaks off at
the side, the foot runs over like an old
boot, and the colt acquires the habit Of
walking partially on the side of the
foot, which is very difficult to remedy.
Sometimes both sides break off. leavin g
the toe unnaturally long, thus throwing
more weight on the heels, causing them
to wear away faster than they should.
This produces fiat feet. The uneven
breaking of of the hoof before the ami
NAL natures causes most of the imperfec-
tions in the feet of the horse, with the
resultant ringbones. spavins, curbs, and
other ailments. When horse with a
bad loot comes to be shoG, If it runs
over at the side, it should be levelled up
gradually at several succeeding shoe
ings, by making the shoe thicker at one
side and pairing down the hoof q little
the most on the opposite side.
If the feet are fat the heel should be
left alone, and the toes cut as far back
as it Will answer at every shoeing. The
shoe should never bear on the sole OF
the foot. Int on the wall alone. If the
sole is low down and presents a convex
surface, as is often the case, the shoe
should either be made cOncayc, to match,
or very narrow to fit only on the horny
shell. If the animal has contracted
feet the heels should be cut away all it
will do, as well as the horn on the bot
tom of the foot. and the shoes should
be bevelled out from the quarters back,
that he feet may have a tendency to
spread.
If the animal has ringbone or any
stiffness III the Joint the toes should be
cut back. This rule applies also to
cases of spawn, thoroughpin, curbs, etc.
Bad feet III horses are generally trace
able TO inattentlon by man. The feet of
colts should be attended to once in
three months, from the time they are
first stabbed IN the fall until they reach
maturity, and then permanent good feet
will be assured. If agricultural societies
would employ skillful man to shoe
horses at their fairs and give illustrative
lectures, they would accomplish more
good than they do now by some of their
transactions.

THE ORCHARD.
Cherry Trees in shrub Form.

In a recent discussion before the Ne
braska Horticultural Society the grow
ing of dwarf cherry trees was strongly
recommended. These are headed down
as low as eighteen inches from the sur
face of the ground, SO that the lower
limbs, when loaded, trail upon the sur
face. This low heading makes the fruit
much more easily gathered. With mulch
under these low limbs, it effectually
prevents growth of grass and weeds. and
prevents deep freezing of the soil.
About 227 trees are planted per acre, and
until the branches extend to prevent it,
the ground between the trees should be
we'll cultivated. Cherry trees need to
be planted early. as after the buds start

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Order in the House.

Occasionally / notice an article on
economizing labor, but none has, to my
nin0. struck the keynote exactly. Nov
l know that there are very many ways
that labor can be economical both IL
and about the house and about the farm;
the best thing to do it with in my
opinion is order. With order We have
harmony, with disorder confusion. I
have had little experience in my life
and l know there Is a great difference in
hoUsekeepers, how many of them COM
plain of oyer-work. No doubt there are
many such and very many that are need
lessly so; for instance, the shears are
used and laid aside where used, in
place of having place for them and
when done with them putting them in
their place, and when next wanted they
are nowhere to-be found and perhaps an
hour is spent in fruitless search; a clear
waste of time besides something else
neglected that the shears We're wanted
for. How perplexing it is, the good
lady gets a scowl on her face, soon ohm
comes in to change some of his apparel
to go to town and a button is off or rent,
or something of the kind and Jane says,
let me have that moment till do SO
and SO to it, but he is in a hurry and
can hardly stop, besides, he says, Why
did you not do that in the morning?"
The reply is, L could not find the
shears"
John gets home and it is milking
time, goes for the pals and finds them
unwashed, and has to wait till the good
lady washes them, and, of course, natur-
ally enough. says, why didn't you wash
them before?" The reply is, Il have
been hunting for those shears" or some-
thing else that was mislaid. Clean
clothes are laid away in the drawers un-
patched. and some without buttons, etc.
Sunday comes and going to church is
contemplated. John gets his shirt and
finds it unfit to wear; but the good lady
gets thread and needle, if she can find
it, and temporarily repairs the garment.
Again, naturally enough, John says,
Why did you not fix this before?" Again
the reply is, Il could not find" so and
SO; and SO it will go the whole time
where order does not prevail, to a great
extent both about the barn and in the
house. Now | do not wish to say that
one sex is more disorderly than the
other, but I know that good order is
great saving of labor. Let US all try it.

thing In its place.-COr. Practical

y1le Salway Peach.

This is anew late peach designed es-
pecially for canning, as 1T is found by
exp. rien &c that the early peaches are
more difficult to keep from fermenting, as
they must needs be put up in hot weather.
But the great difficulty with the Salway
is that in some seasons and localities it
is almost too late. 1t needs nearly as
long and warm a season az the Catawba
grape. The late Crawford is probably
the most popular late peaci for most
localities.
