FEEDING VALUE OF BUCKwHEAT.

Buckwheat is very much the same
wherever it is grown. 1t is one of the
best of all feeds for pigs, and far more
healthful for them than gluten meal,
which is too concentrated. The
gluten meal is excellent for COWS, as
it contains an average of thirty-one
per cent. of proteine and eight per
to as much as twelve per cent. while
other samples have only three per
cent. This shows how desirable it is
to have an analysis of what is bought,
for it may easily be that the meal is
worth fifteen per cent. less in one case
than in another. At SIT o ton the
gluten meal is cheaper than the
mixed feed of bran, oats and buck
wheat for COWS, but for pigs it is not,
for the reason mentioned. 1t might
be we'll to add a small quantity of
gluten meal to this mixed feed for the
COWS. Such a mixture as this would
make has better result than any
single kind of feeds however nutritious
it may be. 1t is something like a
square meal, as it is termed, for per-
son; the variety adds to the digesti-
bility of the food, and the appetite is
better satisfied, which we all know isa
great thing in food. New York
Times.

The Horticultural Rule Rook gives
the following directions for pressing
plants:
Collect samples of all parts of the
plant, lower and upper, leaves, stems,
flower, fruit, and, in most cases, roots.
In small species, those two feet high
or less, the whole plant should be
taken. OF larger plants, take portions
about foot long.
Press the plants between paper or
"driers." These driers may be of any
thick; porous paper, as blotting paper,
or for plants whicn are not very juicy,
newspapers in several thicknesses may
be used. 1t is best to place the spec
linens in sheets of thin paper-grocers'
tea paper is good-and place these
sheets between the dryers.
Many specimens can be placed in
pile. On top of the pile place short
board and weight of twenty or thirty
pounds. Change the driers every day.
The plants are dry when they be-
come brittle, and when no moisture
can be felt by the fingers. Some
plants will dry in two or three days,
while others require as many weeks.
Specimens are usually mounted on
single sheets of white paper of the
stiffness of very heavy writing paper
or thin Bristol board. The standard
size of sheets is eleven and one-half by
sixteen and one-half inches.
The plants may be pasted down per-
manently and entirely to the sheet, or
they may be held on by strips OF
gummed paper. A label should ac-
company each specimen.

breeds are less liable to this trouble,
and the Leghorns and other active
breeds are almost free from it. A
quart of solid feed to dozen average
fowls is considered about proper
feed. Feed but little corn to Asiatics,
as they will surely become too fat With
aliberal supply Of it.
After the maturing Of the garden
truck, and after it has been gathered,
is a good time to turn the garden
patch into run for fowls. The
fowls will destroy innumerable worms
and insects injurious to vegetation, es-
pecially if the ground be first plowed
to bring all the insects to view. Then
the birds will delight in the remains
OF vegetables left on the ground and
in the corners of the garden. A "gar-
den patch" should have a good chick
en-proof fence to exclude the fowls
when their presence would be in
furious and to confine them to the
run after the above plan, at least for
time.
When the fowls have full range OF
the farm, and can pick up green food.
at will, it is not necessary to cultivate
green food for them except in the shape
of root crops or silage for winter use,
but when the flock is necessarily con-
fined, it is desirable to raise variety
of green food in the garden.
Tender young green oats, rye, lettuce
and clover, which may be cultivated
in odd corners and spots in the gar
den, will make capital food and increase
the supply of eggs from the confined
flock very much, besides adding to the
health, and adding gloss to the plu-
mage. If this be supplemented with
q good supply of animal food in the
shape of green cut bone or meat scrap,
| a flock of hens, even in confinement,
will be found the most profitable of
the farm stock, considering the money
invested. Turnips are a cheap crop,
and an abundant supply of them
should be stored in the fall. Fowls
will eat them, top and all, in the wir,-
ter, when the more tender green food
is gone. A small piece of good ground
will produce great crop of them at
almost no expense. i American Agri-
culturist.

What Causes Thirst.

The sensation of thirst is caused by
a lack of fluids in the system. In a
state of health it indicates that the
body wants moisture. We should dis
tinguish natural thirst from that
caused by stimulating foods and bev-
erages which produce fever in the
organs of digestion. Thirst is caused
by failure of the salivary and other
glands to secrete proper amount OF
fluid for use in the stomach. 1t is
possible to quench thirst not only by
the ordinary means, but through the
blood vessels and the skin. Much of
the water drank passes out through
the skin by means of the blood vessels,
and is known as unconscious prespira-
ton. It is well known fact that the
loss of blood is always followed by in
tense thirst; this thirst is one OF the
most narrowing features of the battle
field, as every old soldier knows. Ii
reason for it is that the blood vessels
being drained of their moisture, the
skin becomes parched and every pore
is changed into thirsty mouth.
Thirst accompanies feverS but It's
causes are local, being due to dryness
in the throat AMI mouth, the result OF
q high temperature.

HorseshOes of Raw Hide.

Every man who has to drive owe,
the rough city pavements is watching
with interest the attempt of Buffalo
inventor to perfect a horseshoe of raw
hide. The hide is compressed, and it
is claimed will wear longer than a
steel shoe. Such shoes are used sue.
cessfully in Germany. G. J. Hamlin
of Buffalo has tried them on his
horses, but his trainer says they shrink
and warp after the horses foot has
been soaked. Experiments are being
made to find waterproof dressing to
prevent this trouble. If that is found,
the shoes will be a success, and great
relief to horses having to trot ove1
city pavements daily. - New York

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Twenty-Five hens that are not crowd
ed will pay better than fifty that
are.
No pasture is profitable which
takes three or four acres to support a
COW.
If the bees are restless give more
air and water, and sweep up the dead
ones.
Prepare now for handling swarms.
Have hives painted and honey racks
| on hand.
J. E. Jamison, of Juniata, Penn,
says that no fruit is so much benefited
by spraying as the ounce.
A. G. Hesson. of Lackawanna, Penn. -,
thinks that careful thinning out is the
best remedy for the black knot.
SCOT is used by English gardeners
for onion maggot. They dust it over
the plants and apply to the soil.
Set good fruit trees, and give special
care to the apples, pears, and ounces.
If other crops fail, there is always a
steady fruit market.
The Vermont experiment station
after three years of experiment de-
cides that sour milk is superior to
sweet for feeding pigs.
Ounces always pay for labor be,
slowed on them, if good varieties are
chosen. They need warm, rich soil,
and not cold, swampy land.
White clover honey is especiall,
priced by those who relish honey. In
order to get the bees in condition for
the white clover honey flow little,
feeding may be necessary.
The bean crop might be proftably
resorted to In many cases where late
frosts have killed the growing crop.
The navy bean can be planted in June
and even later and make crop.
Plenty of shade in the hog pastures
is necessity and not a luxury. 1t is
to your interest as well as for the good
of the hogs that they are not COM
PEELED to endure the heat of the sun.
Hens can be confined by six or
seven foot fence when there is danger
of their doing injury on the farm. But
as rule, they will pay for all the
damage they do by destroying insects.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
KEEPING HILLSIDEs IN SOD.

On tillable, sidehill land there is
usually heavy loss every time the
land is newly plowed, as the rain of
even moderate shower is not alb
sorbed as fast as it falls, but by it's
own gravity rushes down the hillside
carrying with it much of the surface
soil, and, if the soil is soft, often deep
cutters are formed. If such slopes
were we'll seeded to timothy or clover
but little injury would result, and if
properly managed timothy sod may
be kept in good condition on sidehill
pasture land for many years. Usually
the soil in such places is naturally
thin, hence previous to plowing apply
fertilizer in some form, preferably
well rotted barnyard manure. This
will keep the timothy in good health
for many years. Should any portion
become thin, let the whole grow to
height of six or eight inches, when
either commercial fertilizers or well
rotted manure can be applied to the
thin portions. Thus guarded, even
heavy rains will not carry much fertil-
ity away, but cause it to lodge against
and become absorbed by the growing
plants. Hlllsides should never be
pastured very closely.

WELL VS.. POORLY BALANCED RATIoNs

WELL VS.. POORLY BALANCED RATIoNs
From late bulletin of the Mary
land agricultural station on data as be-
tween a well-balanced vs. poorly
balanced ration we give a summary of
conclusions, as follows:
For fattening steers we'll balanced
ration is very much more profitable
than poorly balanced one.
Steers fed on we'll balanced ration
made an average daily gain of 2.7S
pounds; those given poorly balanced
ration made an average daily gain of
IL pounds.
The increased profits from this test,
showing difference of ST. O6 per steer
were in favor of the well-balanced ra-
ton.
With q we'll balanced feed ninety
days is ample time in which to prepare
an animal for market.
Where the more nitrogenous foods
are used it is believed nearly as good
daily gains can be made by mixing
the grain with cut corn fodder as
though hay were used.
The use of cut corn fodder instead
of hay in feeding cattle may make the
difference of a profit instead of loss.
Fifty per cent. more manure was
made from the animals receiving the
we'll balanced ration than from those
receiving the poorly-balanced one.
The manure is also much richer in
plant food.-Chicago Times.

how she saw Lafayette. che came

the hill rushed down to the hotel to
see and shake hands with him. He
came early in the morning, and when
he reached the hotel there went into

he came out he shook hands with all
present, excepting myself. was too

to the people as he rode past. 1t
seems to me that somebody met him
with another carriage between this city
and the Hill, and escorted him into
the city. If am right, there were
only about three thousand people liv-
ing in Syracuse at the time. They
gave hlm large reception at the Man
sion House here.

TalleSt Of the Races.

According to an investigation cone
Quoted under the auspices of the In.
ternational Society of Anthropolo-
gists of London, which has Just con-
cluded valuable inquiry respecting
the average height of the various
races and nationalities, English and
American citizens average taller /than
any other representatives of the hui
man family. The following has been
CLEANED from their 120-page report:
The English professional classes, who
head the list as the tallest of adult
males, attain the high average of five
feet nine and quarter inches. Next
on the list come the males of all class
es in the United States, and minute
fraction behind them come the Eng
lish of all classes. Hence we may
conclude that, taken as a whole, the
British and their English-speaking
cousins in America are approximately
of the same height. In other Euro
pean countries the average for tho
male adult is but five feet six inches:
the Austrians, the Portuguese and the
Spaniards fail somewhat below the
general European average as given in
the foregoing. st. Louis Republic.

IfLiOn Pulls and Horse Pulls.

If a lion and II strong horse were
to pull in opposite directions, the
horse would pull the lion backward
with comparative ease; but II the hon
were hitched behind the horse and
facing in the same direction, and were

the hind legs than in forward pulling

PRACTICAL HINTS ON FEEDING FOWLS.
Proper feeding is the most impor-
tant subject connected with poultry
keeping, and to lack of knowledge Of
it many failures may be attributed.
To feed for good results one must, of
course, consider the characteristics of
the breed h5 keeps. Brahmas, Co.
chins, and other Asiatic breeds, easily
become over-fat, and in state of obe-
sity will produce few eggs, and these
often unfertile. The medium sized
