FEEDING WHEAT.

The danger of feeding wheat, espe-
cially to horses, is that it is glutinous
and apt to pack in the stomach and
cause indigestion. This is avoided by
chopping the grain coarsely and mixing
1t with cut hay or straw. A liberal quan-
tity of salt should be given with this food.
But when the wheat is smutty there is
another danger, which is the effect of
the smut on the animal. This fungus
has an effect on the nervous system by
which some int1ammatory diseases are
apt to be caused. The animals may es.
cape injury for time, but the danger
will always be imminent while the smutty
food is given. Boiling would kill the
fungus and prevent trouble. But as the
fungus is especially dangerous and in
furious to female animals, both pregnant
and otherwise, these should never be
given any smutty food. The effect of
the smut is to produce abortion, or in
fammation of the mucous membrane
that results in gangrene.-New York
Times.

SIZE OF CUT SEED POTATOES.

The eye of potato is bud upon the
thick, feshy stem known as the tuber,
for potatoes grow on underground
branches above the true roots. j. G.
Arthur, of the Indiana station, has
studied the best size of cut tubers for
planting. Pieces of uniform weight
gave but small increase In the number
of stalks by increasing the number of
eyes to a piece. An increase in the
weight of the pieces caused decided
increase in the number of stalks. The
dense group of eyes at the seed end of a
potato acts physiologically as single
eye, and not as a number of crowded but
independent eyes. The question of the
right number of eyes to the piece of
seed potato tuber has long engaged the
attention of experimenters. The results
of the Indiana trials show that the mum.
Der of eyes per piece is of little conse.
quence, but the weight of the piece is a
very important factor. The indicated
manner of cutting potatoes for planting
Is to divide them into pieces of suitable
weight and size without regard to the
distribution of the eyes. Instead of try
ing to have one, two or three eye pieces,
as the case may be, the approximation
should be to one, two or three ounce
pieces, or some other definite weight.
The larger the size the greater will be
the probable yield.-American Agricul.

POINTS IN rrER.MAKrNa.

During the hot weather butter. MAX ers
are greatly troubled with soft butter.
This is largely due in most cases to i'm
proper handling of the milk, cream and
butter. Where persons have spring
houses or refrigerators butter that Is soft
when churned can soon be brought into
a firm, presentablc appearance, but it is
far better that it should come from the
churn in the right condition. Grass

free from weeds, and from such varieties
as June or Kentucky blue grass, orchard
grass, red top, wire grass and white clo-

sorts, If churned at little below sixty
degrees and properly handled, should be
of texture that will give little or no
cause for complaint. During the hot
spells, however, there is tendency for
the butter to be soft, Notwithstanding
any care which may be taken of it.
As the result Of experiments made at
the Ontario (Canadian) experiment sta
tion, to test the effect of food on milk
and butter, Professor II. H. Dean reports
that the addition of small quantity of
meal, especially cotton seed meal, to the
food, has a tendency to make the butter
frmer and raise the melting point from
one to four degrees centigrade. During
the last summer about one pound per
day Of cotton see1 meal was fed to each

II You Were On tho Moo

If lunar conditions are favorable to
human existence, and 1T is not certain
that they are not, and you could be trans
ported to the top of Pico or some other
all peak or rock on the surface of our
'ssilvery sister world" how do you sup
pose things would look from such want
age ground7 You would probably first
turn your eyes in the direction OF our
earth, the world you had just Quilted,
but to you it would be stranger. In
place of the somber globe you would
naturally expect to behold your eyes
would be greeted with most wonderful
sight. The earth would appear to you
to be sixty-four times larger than the sun
appears to the residents of this mundane
sphere; this because the earth has eight
times the diameter of the moon, there
fore she must necessarily show the
moonites sixty-four times as much sur
face as the moon shows us. The sun,
on the other hand, would appear no
larger to you from your observatory on
the moon than it does from our globe.
The earth's atmosphere being blue it has
been decided that the earth must appear
as blue ball to all outside onlookers.
What glorious sight it must be to ouI
lunarian neighbors to look upon bright
blue, swift revolving ball sixty-foul
times larger than the soul.--St. Louis

Ax1oMs IN CAKE MAKING.

Successful cake. making, according to
Katherine B. johnson, depends upon
about twenty things:
Proper materials.
A correct recipe.
Following directions explicitly.
Accurate weights and measurements.
Compromising the ingredients in their
proper order.
Having everything in readiness before
communicating to mix the ingredients.
Regulating the temperature of the oven
according to the kind of cake made.
Having all the ingredients at the right
temperature.
Not suspending the operation of mix
ing until the cake is ready for the oven.
Beating much or little according to
the kind of cake, and always in one di-
rection.
Whipping the whites of eggs to q
coarse, moderately stiff froth rather than
q fine stiff one.
Sitting the baking powder and -four
together two or three times.
Folding the -four in carefully instead
of taking strong circular strokes.
Placing in the oven as soon as the
baking powder is added.
Greasing the tin with sweet lard rather
than butter, and sitting little dry -four
over.
Opening and shutting the oven door
very gently during the process of baking.
Not turning while in the oven if 1t can
be avoided.
Keeping fruit over night in warm
room, dredging it thoroughly with -four
and stirring it in lightly the last thing.
Lining tins for loaf-cake with oiled
paper, or, better Jet, with pastry made
of flour and water and rolled thin.
Making the paper or paste lining OF a
tin for fruit cake or large loaf-cake an
inch higher at the sides, to support a

GAME PIE.

Game pie Is a very popular dish In
England, and was served frequently on
planters tables In Virginia and other
Southern States before the war, says
Mrs. E. r. Parker. Partridges are the
best game to use in making it, though
wild pigeons, other small birds or rab-
bits may be used.
To make dainty game pie, bono half
a dozen partridges and cut them in
halves. Slice one dozen truffles or
mushrooms, ,chop one pound of lean ham,
and cut eight hard boiled eggs in thin
slices. Chop bunch of parsley and q
bunch of sweet herbs fine. Roll out q
sheet of puff paste. Grease pie mold,
and line it with dough. Cut small squares
of the paste and spread over the bottom,
then put in layer of the birds and
sprinkle with ham, herbs, pepper and
salt, cover with layer of the sliced eggs
and thin bits of pastry. Spread another
layer of the birds, hard boiled eggs and
squares of pastry. Sprinkle with bits OF
butter rolled in -four. Roll out thin
another sheet of pastry, wet the edges of
the under crust with ice water, put the
cover over, and press down. Make a
hole in the centre on top, cut some
scraps of pastry in flowers or fancy
shapes, lay on top of the hole and ar
range the others around the edge. Baste
the pie all over with beaten egg, and
bake in moderate oven for two hours.
Make a sauce of the bones, giblets,
etc., of the birds, flavor it with sherry,
pour in the hole in the centre of the pie
through funnel and serve.
This pie may be made several days be-
fore 1t is needed, and may be served cold
or heated when wanted. When eaten
cold it should be garnished with grape
jelly cut in fancy shapes. Courier

HEAVY FEEDING.

Heavy feeding is profitable feeding.
Experiments carried on at dairy centres
favor it. Cows making the highest
yield are those that are most generously
fed. Where the average yearly yield of
butter was $50 pounds it was increased
to 25O pounds by means of heavy feeding
from the same ANIMALS. OF course there
were other causes involved in the in
crease, such as careful handling, i'm
proved processes, combined with better
attention to the herd, but the more gen.
erous feeding was the main factor. A
recommendation to try it should be un-
necessary to every dairynan whose re-
turns are unsatisfactory.

CARE or YOUNG ORCHARDS.

The best treatment for young
orchard is to keep the surface of the
ground mellow and clean. If while the
orchard is starting the owner feels that
he must use the land for some productive
crop it should be some hoed crsp that re.
quires clean cultivation. Corn answers
well for this purpose, the partial shade
which it affords the young trees during
the hot months being of some advan-
tage. Pear trees should have no ma
nuring, as they will not stand forcing,

rapidly.-Chicago Times.

CoBMEAL.

OOoMHAAs
We should certainly advise you to
have your sound corn cracked on the
ear, and then ground cob and all. The
extra expense should not exceed the cost
of shelling tie corn with labor reckoned
at fair price, and we think that pound
for pound the corn and cob meal, especi-
ally If the cob is small and we'll dried so
as to grind we'll, is worth as much for
feeding purposes as the meal from clear
corn. We know that analysis does not
show it, and this LED some farmers to
doubt the reliability of the chemists, be.
cause they were sure that they had found
the same quantity of each to produce
equally good results. When two facts
are apparently exactly opposed to each
other, there is some unknown property,
or other fact, to be looked after. In
this case the unknown quantity was
the digestive power, and it is now we'll
decided that the corn and cobmeal not
packing so closely in the digestive
organs, mol. passing through them as
rapidly. is more thoroughly digested
than the clear cornmeal. Or that the
undigested amount wasted on feeding
clear meal is greater than the adultera.
ton, if it can be so called, of the cob.
Aud the cob has some nutritive proper
ties, though not enough to pay fol
grinding and feeding it without the
corn, and perhaps also it has, from its
mineral elements, power of stimulating
digestion. You speak of shelling the
corn yourself, so that the shelling costs
you nothing, but there ought to be bet
ter and more profitable work for an able.
bodied man than shelling corn, even on
rainy days. Go to the barn and card
and brush the COWS, or to the shed and
build some chicken coops for use next
spring. Whitewash the henhouse or the
cellar, or, if you cannot find any work
that will improve the farm or buildings,
sit down by the fire aud improve your
mind and rest your body. And we do
not believe in doing unnecessary or un.
profitable work just for the sake of work.
ing, unless it may be for the sake of
keeping out of mischief. There is usu
ally some profitable work to be done ON
every farm, and time spent in shelling
corn results in loss instead of profit.

GRATEFUL COLONlSTS.
How They Repaid Sir Robert Walpo1e's
Kindness.

How They Repaid Sir Robert Walpole's
Kindness.
Before the war of the revolution
England populated some of her Ameri-
can colonies with convicts and paupers.
A resident of Detroit finds in the tat
tered pages of an old book, published
one hundred years ago, the following
reference to the Objectionable practice:
When Sir Robert Walpole was prime
minister of England he sent shipload
of convicts to be distributed between
Pennsylvania and Virginia, and mott
fled DR.. Franklin, who was the repre-
sentative or commissioner, to look after
the American interests. The doctor,
in response, wrote him expressing the
thanks of the colonies for the maternal
care of Great Britain for her colonies
so strongly manifested, and that, as an
expression of American gratitude, he
had the honor to inform him that he
had this day sent him by the return
ship a collection of rattlesnakes, and
would respectfully suggest that he
have them introduced into his majesty's
garden at Kew, in order that they
might propagate and increase, at the
same time assuring his excellency that
they would be as beneficial to his
majesty's English dominions as British
convicts were to his American posses
sions.
