At present the factory is conducted

greeted the experiment justifies its
continuance on a large scale, and it is
expected that paper matches will soon

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
COOKING sxrr GERMAN srYnn.


Many who have married German
gentlemen would like tos 'efore their
husbands occasionally genuine Ger.
man dish II they knew how to prepare
1t. The recipes given here for good
German cookery were obtained during
residence in Germany in the family
Of q notable hausfrau. They will prove
agreeable additions to the general
American menu.
For o favorite Teutonic dish take
three pounds Of the best beef, or. for
large company, four or six pounds.
Wash the meat and place itin large
jar or crock. Insert half q dozen
cloves. Lay on top bay leaf and one
large onion, thinly sliced. Pour over
the meat enough mild, boiling vinegar
to nearly cover it, and close the jar
with plate.
Should the vinegar be very sharp,
water it, as the taste of vinegar should
not be too strong. The boiling of the
vinegar is necessary, the albuminous
coating thus formed retaining the meat
juices.
In two days boil the vinegar again,
and again pour it over the meat and
cover, this time turning the beef. In
from three to five days it is ready for
use, and should be quite tender.
Though three days are q long enough
time, five are no injury.
Remove the meat from the jar and
wash it free of the onions. Then cut
picked pork into very fine strips, as
thick as lead pencil and about three
inches in length. With a sharp knife
make deep incisions thickly over the
top of the beef and thrust in the bits
of pork. Turn and treat the other
side similarly. Tie into shape with q
strong cord.
Place in deep kettle piece of
butter the size of an egg, and when
hot put in the meat. In moments
time turn it and add enough boiling
water to nearly cover it. Close the
kettle tightly. Baste frequently with
its own liquors and cook with a good
fire three hours and not a moment
less; an extra half hour is preferable.
The gravy is made by flour thick
ening, and a cup or half cup of sour
cream added.
After having gone through this pro-
cess once sauer braten will be found
to be an easy dish and one that will
repay all trouble. 1t is excellent
sliced cold. To keep it moist and
tender turn over it the remaining
gravy, cover and set in cool place.

that most Of us, in what is called ''the
West" did not sufficiently appreciate
the value of rye as late fall andearly
spring pasture crop, writes E. d.
Coburn in the New York Tribune.
Where conditions are at all favorable
it furnishes an astonishing quantity OF
rich, succulent grazing just at time
of year when 1t is most rellshed and
most needed by all kinds of farm ami
mails, even including poultry. 1t
pieces out to great advantage other
feed that may be scant or poor, and
while especially agreeable to all the
stock, it will make poorly nourished
COWS practically double their milk in
quantity and quality. In fact, have
never seen Kansas farmer so we'll
fixed that good piece of rye pasture
wasn't a genuine bonanza to him.
There has never been season in all
the central West when something of
that sort was more of comfort to its
possessor than it will likely be within
the next nine months. Hence I would
say to every farmer who reads this,
do not fail to SOW, and SOW early lin
fact just as soon as the ground can be
put in proper condition), goodly
area of rye for pasture. Don't SOW it
for grain, but for pasturage; make
the most of it for grazing, and if
eventually it also yields some grain
worth harvesting, we'll and good. If
you can't secure the seed readily, SOW
wheat just as you would rye; if 1t is
not n plump, high grade article, that
will cut but small figure if sound.
If of small or shrunken berry would
not SOW less than five pecks to the
acre; if plump bushel and half
would be none too much at all events,
use plenty. and don't be afraid of
having too many acres. I haven't
discovered anything that was better
regulator for the pigs, the colts, the
calves, the COWS or the old blind mare
than good bite of green rye or wheat.
1t is excellent in years of greatest
abundance; in years when other feed
is scarce or poor, it is simply indis-
pensable-really benefaction. Sow
it with drill or broadcast as you
think best, but do a good job, as if
you desired success and meant to de-
serve it.

COLO IN HORSES,

Irregular feeding in the matter oi
hours, long fasts and too great quan.
tity given at long intervals are fre.
quent causes of collie, says the New
York World. Irregular work is not
without its influence "a twenty-mile
journey once week is likely to be
productive of more mischief than the
same distance every day. A horse put
to hard work at intervals cannot be
kept in condition. Horses ought to
be fed late at night and early in the
morning; they should have at least
two hours to consume and digest the
morning feed before being taken out
to work, and if not returned to the
stable when the next feed is due,
should be provided with nose bags.
Changes of food should be intro
duced gradually. Horses may be fed
with impunity on what will make them
seriously i'll if care is not taken to
make the change gradually. Thus,
green food, when it first comes in.
and is young and succulent, often
causes gripes, because fed too largely
to the exclusion of the accustomed
dry material. If small quantity is
cut with the hay chaff to begin with,
the horse is less greedy about it when
larger quantity is allowed and the
digestive organs as gradually become
accustomed to the change. Attention
to the prevention of collie is much bet
ter than the possession of recipe for
it's cure, for some day the recipe misses
fire, and death wins the match. Apart
from this, an attack successfully dealt
with still means loss of service for
some time--very often at o busy
period.

FEEDING APPLES TO COWS.

There has long been a practical
opinion among farmers that while
sweet apples might be fed to COWS
with satisfactory results, sour apples
were very injurious for them; but
this opinion has been founded upon
very slight actual knowledge Of the
real feeding value of apples. At the
Vermont station apple pomace, en-
silaged, and used supplementary to
and in part as a substitute for corn
ensilage, was found to be relished by
COWS, and the, results of four tests
found it to be about equivalent in
feeding value to corn ensilage. At the
Massachusetts station DR.. Goessmann
found apples to contain about eighty
per cent. of moisture. the apples hav-
Ing been gathered October 9th. The
farther advanced apples are towards
maturity the more sugar is found in
them, and their value depends largely
upon the amount of dry matter which
they contain. Laboratory tests show
that the feeding value ofapples is some
what higher than that of an equal
weight Of turnips. Apple pomace it
said to be equal to sugar beets, it be-
ing somewhat singular chemical fact
that the pomace is richer in nitrogen
GUS matter than the apple from which
it has been produced, and the feed
ing value of pomace is assumed to
be, pound for pound, one-third high
er than that of the whole apple. Still
apples are deficient in nitrogen, and
ought on this account to be literally
supplemented for dairy COWS with
wheat shorts, bran, oil cakes, clover
and good hay. To obtain the best re-
suits fiom feeding them to COWS, the
early sort should be fed by itself,
sour ones in less quantity than sweet
ones, fed when fully ripe, after the
nights milking. The quantity should
not exceed four to six quarts to feed.

CREAM THAT WILL NOT MAKE BUTTER.


It is often the case that the cream
of the milk of a COW due to calve in
two or three months will not make
butter, but foams in the churn and
rapidly becomes very sour. The milk
of n COW undergoes change about
this time, and some COWS are SO af-
fected that the cream will not yield
any butter. Every COW should be
dried of, If the milk does not stop
naturally, two months before the calf
is due. At any rate, good butter can
not be made from the milk SO near
calving. This condition of the milk,
of course, is at once evident in sim
gle COW, but doubtless there are COWS
in herds in the same condition, but
are not detected. 1t shows how need
full it is that strict watch should be
kept on each of the COWS in herd

The flying foxes are relished as food

and their large eyes suggest that they
find their wa by sight. of which sense
the small insec. ~ivorous bats would
seem to be almost independent, as
blinded specimens, in the experiments
of Spallanzani. proved to be able to
avoid obstacles to their flight as easily
as these which could see.
This power bats owe to their highly
developed sense of touch, the large
sensitive surface offered to the atmos-
phere b, the broad naked wings en-
lbling them to perceive an object be-
fore they touch it, probably by the diff
fer nee in the resistance OF the air.
And the huge ears and complicated
nose appendages found in so many in
