now TO FEED ron nrcn MILF

There can be no question among prac.
hcal dairymen, however much scientific
men may doubt it, that rich food will
produce rich milk-that is, food rich in
lat Will add to the fat in the milk. The
common practice among the best dairy
men is to feed the cows fully with such
1000 as is given under ordinary circum.
stances, and then either change a mart
OF 1t or add to it some other kind which
contains a large quantity of fat. Thus.
a COW led on clover hay, with as much
cornmeal as she will eat, may have two
quarts of the meal changed for two
quarts OF cottonseed meal, which contains
nearly three times as much fat as tbe
cornmeal. This change Of food will al
most always result in the production of
more butter without increasing the
milk-that is, the milk is richer in fat.
A COW that is fed on hay and bran will
increase in butter if the bran is displaced
by cornmeal.-NeU Tork Times.

but it was, to use a slang phrase. a

man could imagine a vegetable product
that could not be produced on that

coffee, sugar, rice, potatoes, rye, wheat,
oats, corn, berries, cabbage, tomatoes,
apples, bananas, cocoa, figs, cocheneai
and a dozen other products. On the
upper end OF this farm you could find
gold, silver, sapphires, onyx and other
precious stones. Some of these articles
were not produced in quantities large
enough to pay to market them, but they

Carro's Unnearthfulness.

tOriOus ~ one OF the most unhealthy
cities OF her size in the world and is
likely to remain 50 unlcS, the French
can be induced to abandon their pres
cnt obstructive policy in Egypt. The
town is practically without drainage
and year by year the necessity for
rcmcdying the evil becomes more
urgent. Some time ago the Govern
mcnt took the matter in hand, en-
ployed number of distinguished
sanitary engineers and prepared a
scheme for "A system of sewerage
which is generally admitted to be
the best and cheapest that could be
devised. 1t was proposed to pay for
the improvement by half the OCtrOi
receipts of the city, but France will
not consent and demands the appoint
mcnt ofan international commission Of
three experts t. study the question,
TO invite plans and to decide which is
to be adopted, no plan TO be adopted
unless accepted by all three experts
unanimously The object Of this
proposition if clear, and unless it is
modified the drainage plan must be
abandoned, at least for the present.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Cooked wheat bran furnishes bone ma

Portable fences are becoming more
and more desideratum.
Castor beans and all oily plants are
easily spoiled By wetting.

cost more to use than they do to fix.

and handling of hay as there is in the

Economy is no relative of stinginess,

1t is not good plan to keep pullets
and old hens, fat aud lean hens all to-
gether. They DO no. require the same
food aud will do better separate.
Speculation is as dangerous to the far
mer as it is to the city man. Getting
into debt to buy more land or more i'm
plements is generally speculation.
1t is variety of food rather than large
quantity that fowls require. More care
is necessary in this respect when they are
confined than when given good range.
If any farmers have gathered short
hay crop, there is yet time to supplement
the pasture by a little "soiling' corn or
millet. Be vigilant, however, or it may
be too late.
The best shade for a COW in fly time is

Before the winter sets in it would be
well for the farmers to consider the an

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Washing the hair frequently is about
the only harmless way of keeping it
hight. All blonde hair tends to darken
with age. Soda is apt to make the hair
stiff and wiry.
Gravy will generally be lumpy if the
thickening is poured in while the pan is
over the fire. Set the pan off until the
thickenibg is we'll stirred in, then set it
on the fire and cook thoroughly.
Icing for cake may be prevented frsm

add sugar until as stiff as can be stirred.

before using. Wash silver in hot, soopy
water and rinse in clean hot water.

Done. Twill name the dates 1858,
1854, and two of 1876. Am I right'"
"Let me see. One is 1854, this is
1877; this 1876, and this is 1858. You
guessed three correctly aud missed one.
So you owe me a quarter and l owe you
IS cents. Now explain your trick. ="
at is no trick. The fancy took me
few weeks ago to examine the dates on
coins, and l found that almost every
quarter bears one of these dates, with all
occasional 1856, 1857, 1858, 1878. l
suppose more of them were coined in
those years. During the weeks have
been interested in the subject l have
seen one 1861, but not single other
quarter bearing date in the sixties or in
the seventies except as have mentioned.
If one wanted to bet as we have just done
he could be a sure winner in the long
run"
witnessed this transaction, AMI it in
terested me SO that looked tAe matter
up. In the report OF the Director of the
Mint found full explanation. In that
is a table giving tie coinage in djifercn
denominations for each year since the
organization OF the minis. The coinage
Of quarters has Auctuatei in most re.
markabc way. Beginning with 1850,
for three years the coinage averaged
about $40, 900 year. Then in 1853 it
jumped UP to SS,Sl3.555. In 1854 it
was almost as much, 3,O95, 900. Then
it dropped to 3714,26O in 1856. Ia
1855 it was $f,Sl6,OOO; in 1857,
81, All 600, aud iu 1853, Sl.Sl2,O0O.
Then it dropped again, never rising to
800, 600, and in war TINS averaging
only five or six thousands, except in
1861, whenit was 81, 21S,650. In 1875
it was 81 ,O75, 37j; in 1876, S445l,-
267. 50; in 1877, 90, $3.50. Then
began the coinage Of silver dollars by the
millions, and the production of subsi-
diary coins dropped way off. For the
past ten or fifteen years the coinage of
quarters has averaged only $1,000 Or
$4,000 year.
Just examine the dates on the quarters
that come into your possession, aud see
how they bear out the statistics. For
instance, in 1SS6there was Only Sl471.-
so in quarters coined, and tasre are
thousand chances to one against coin
of this date coming into your hand'.---

REFORMS IN woMEN's DRESS.

The women OF New York, and, in
fact, sensible women in the East, says a
member of Sorosis, take no stock in the
proposed reforms in women's dress which
have attracted the attention OF the theo-
rists this summer. The reforms sug-
rested are too radical and will not find
favor with even very small percentage OF
women who can afford to indulge in such
luxuries. No poor woman can wear
them. Only comparatively fen women
could afford to spend money on them.
So it will be with the present movement
The ladies who are cnsmpioning dress
reform now will arouse great deal OF
enthusiasm, | have no d1u6t, bat the
enthusiasm will die out when the time
comes for paying the bills. 1t always
does. And wha; woman wio wants the
admiration of men is going to wear the
toys prepared by tAe Clan'auqW
women Men don't want auy reforms in
women's dress. They are satisfied with
the present styles. Ga, Of course it may

ever introduced the innovation must be

A Curious Canary.

A childless couple up town expend
most OF their sympathies on a canary
bird which is crank on the feather
question The little fellow, who is seven
years old, has always had an aversion to
his natural dress, and has industriously
pulled out every feather he could reach.
The result is that he has now a smooth,
shiny skin which looks like polished
parchment, two or three lonely tail
feathers, and triAc of pIunaye on his
head and neck. In summer he is all
right, but the cold of winter bothers him.
As soon as frost comes he is clad in a
warm flannel jacket, which he admires
immensely. At night he lies down on a
bed Of cotton batting, submits quietly
to be covered up, and sleeps there con-
tentedly till morning. II the cold be.
comes TOO severe, he calls out until he is
taken out of the cage and put in bed
with his mistress, to whom ne cuddles
up eagerly for warmth. --Nesc York Sun.
