FEEDING YOUNG LAMBS.

When for any reason, as having twins
or natural "cussedness, a eve will not
permit lamb to suck, she should be put
in a small pen, with sides made so that
the lamb can getln or out, and held twice
day for the lamb to suck. In few
days either she will submit or the lamb
will persist so strongly as to etits food
in spite of the ewes resistance. If all
tails, the lamb must be fed, and this way
will be found effective: A nursing bot
tie with nipple, or even small oil can
with sponge fastened on the spout, is
used, from which the lamb will take
fresh cows milk at its natural tempera-
ture. Half a pint is enough for a meal,
and care is to be taken not to give any
more than a natural supply. Half pint
three times day is sufficient. In course
of time eve may be made to adopt and
ioster the lamb.-Mew York Times.

EvaneScent Jewelry Fashions.

Fashions in jewelry and ornaments are
constantly changing, said local jeweler.
For while the demand for bangles was
very. small, but now these trihcs are
worn very freely on the arms of girls of
fashion. Pretty effects are produced by
combining various shades of silver. A
broad dark silver band, simply chased,
is placed next to fair twisted silver
wire. Next comes O Shakespearean
bangle of antique silver, with design
representing the head of the bard of
Avon and quotation from one of his
plays. Dickens's bangles, gold dollar
memento, and several nondescript ban
giles of varying shades of silver make up
the kaleidoscope array on one arm. The
other arm bears q heavy oxydized OK
chain, or, mayhap, an engagement
bracelet.-St. Louis Star Sayings.

Beet Pulp is Good Fodder.

An important fact in the beet sugar
industry is that the refuge pulp makes a
valuable fodder for cattle. The tops are
also available for the same use. This
refuse is stored in mounds, and will re-
main in good condition for six months.
Wherever beet-sugar factories have been
established there has been an immense
improvement in the agriculture of the
surrounding country. 1t is found that
although three tons of the pulp are
equal in nutrimcnt value only to one ton
of the best hay, yet when fed in counec-
ton with coarse provender it possesses q
value of its own in keeping animals il q
sleek, growthy condition, and, strange
to say, one not indicated by its chemical
analysis. Chicago Meas.

The Telephone as q Weather Prophet.

The telephone is about to have new
application-that of forctclling storms.
A new discovery has been made as to one
of the properties of this means of trans
mitting sound. By placing two iron bar
at seven or eight meters distance from
each other, and then putting them in
communication on one side by copper
wire covered with rubber, and on the
other side with tele phone, a storm can
be predicted at least twelve hours ahead
through a dead sound heard in the re-
ceiver. According as the storm advances
the sound resembles the beating of
hailstones against the windows. Every
flash of Lightning, and, of course, every
clap of thunder that accompanies the
storm, produces q shock similar to that
of the stroke of O stone cast between
the diaphragm and the instrument. -

LOUISIANA TRIPE.

The Creoles of Louisiana have many
richly favored dishes in which onions
and tomatoes play an important part.
For one, scald a pound of tripe and cut
in stripes three by five inches. Fry half
pound of sausage meat until done, fry
ing in the same pan and at the same time
a pint of sliced and drained tomatoes and
one sliced onion. When the sausage
meat is done lay it with the thick part of
the tomatoes on the stripes of tIipe. and
tie securely. Make a number of little
balls of sausage meat from the remain
ing half pound and fry done; put a little
butter in pan and brown the tripe rolls
quickly. When they are brown pile them
up on dish with the sausage balls in the
middle and pour sauce around them by
pouring little water in the pan in which
the tripe was Drowned, adding the thin
part of the tomotoes, seasoning, thick
eniDg and stlaining.-4meriean Agrieul-

WHY FARMERS SHOULD KEEP BEES.

The fact that bees are pollen listribu-
tors is sufficient reason why place should
be made for them on every farm. If kept
for no other purpose than the good they
do to growing crops and fruit bearing
trees and plants by spreading the pollen
among the blooms, these Industrious
workers would be-a valuable adjunct.
Testimony is abundant and conclusive,
SAYS Farm Neacs, as to tn. desirable effect
of bees upon grape vines, fruit trees, and
fruit-bearing plants generally. Indeed,
one prominent apiarist goes so far as to
insist that few hives of bees judiciously
placed will revive fruit farm from non
paying to profitable investment. Field
crops, scientists tell US, and wide-awake
farmers know from observation, are
greatly assisted by the honey bees
manipulations. Indeed, their influence
is required for the perfect floral fertillza-
ticn of some of the cereal crops and the
meadow grasses. Where the farmer is
too busy to give his personal attention to
the production of honey, it suggested
that ne purchase few hives and turn
these over to the care of his wife and
daughters. They will find the pin money
ACQUIRING from the sale of the honey u
convenient and pleasant return for the
labor and time spent among the bees.
The outdoor occupation, too, will prove
a welcome and healthful change from the
indoor drudgcry, which they can afford
to have done.

IMPORTANCE OF WIND BREAKS.

Even where the farmer is able to build
barns, stables and sheds, yet wind
breaks on the northeast and northwest of
the cattle yards save much discomfort to
stock, and, therefore, many dollars to
the farmer. Part of every feed is used
in maintaining animal heat, and, when
the cold, wet storms of winter beat mer-
cilessly upon unprotected animals, the
farmer must pay for his inhumauity and
thriftlcssncss. The east wind is every
where deleterious to health. Stanley's
men, even in Equatorial Africa, from the
cold east rain storms dropped dead. Ami
mails have often been chilled and killed
by the east winds of winter. Store up
material in temporary wind breaks for
the manure heap.-American Agricu!tur-
ist.

In Praise Of Hackney Horses.

The introduction of the hackney horse
of England into this country marks an
important era in the breeding of carriage
horses. There is great need in this
country of a good, fine acting carriage
horse and I think you will find him in
the hackney. Both the hackney and our
trotting horse are founded on the same
blood, that of the Arabian, in fact, our
trottcr came originally from Norfolk
hackney, old Bcllfounder, who was very
fast and of great bottom. A horse to
trot must have reach, and to have
reach his shoulders must lie we'll into his
back, or in other words he must have
what the English call "tobby' appear
ance. The hackney undoubtedly has
this, and having been bred so long for
one purpose their every idea is bent to-
ward that one thing trct.-NeU York

TENDER VEAL OUTLETS.

will be found as tender as sweetbreads:
Divide the meat in pieces ready for serv-
ing, place these on board and pound
them we'll with a potato masher; then
season with pepper and salt and dip in
egg and either rolled cracker or sifted
bread crumbs. Fry slowly, keeping the
pan covered. When nicely Drowned lift
the cover and pour into the pan cup of
cold water. Recover quickly and let the
meat lie in the steam for few minutes.
Then thicken the gravy with Drowned

a few minutes longer. Place the meat
on platter, pour the gravy through q
strainer over it and serve."- Washington

ZONE MEAL AND ASHES FOR SWINE.


Three separate trials were made at the
Wisconsin station to test the compare
tive effect Of feeding corn meal alone to
hogs and feeding it mixed with small
quantities CT bone meal, also with hard
wood ashes. Two pigs were fed corn
meal alone, two were fed corn meal and
ashes, and two others corn meal and
bone neal and ashes mixed. The ex-
periments covered a period of over
twelve weeks at the close of which the
animals were slaughtered, the h,gh-bones
tested rs to their breaking strength and
burned to determine the quantity of ash.
Omitting details, the result summar lied
about rs follows:
1. 1t appears that the effect of the
bone meal and ashes was to save about
one hundred and thirty pounds of corn,
CT twenty eight per cent. OF the total
amount fed in producing 100 pounds of
gain, live weight.
2. That by feeding the bone meal the
strength of the tigh bones was doubled ;
also that ashes produced the same effect
to almost the same degree.
8. There was fifty per cent. more ash
in the bones of the hog receiving bone
meal and hardwood ashes than in the
others.
4. No difference was perceivable in the
proportion of lean to fat meat in the
several carcasses. The bone meal and
ashes seemed to have no effect on the
size or weight Of any of the internal
organs or weight Of blood.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
PERFECTLY PRESERVED cABBAGEs.

Ru,ul New Yorker says: The most per-
tectly preserved lot of cabbage that we
have ever seen so late in the season were
placed together in a nothern exposure,
roots up, on the soil. They were then
covered lightly with SIX inches of marsh
hay. Over them was placed slanting roof
which merely serves to protect them from
rain and snow. These cabbages are as
green and fresh looking as they were the
day they were taken from the field.
Treated in the usual way, that is, COW
cred with soil, the cabbages become
blanched and predisposed to decay.
