HOUSEHOLD ArfAlRs,
BRUSHES.


Kitchen brushes can be put to Va
riety Of uses. For the washing oi
dishes with handles, the outside oi
iron kettles and other cooking utensils
made of iron, they are especially ser.
viceable. The smaller sizes are also
excellent for cleaning cut glass ware /;
in fact, any kind of ware with raised
figures or corrugated surfaces. For
cleaning CRATER nothing is superior
to one of these little brushes.
Such brush is also most useful for
washing celery or lettuce, as the un-
even surfaces of the stalk and leaves
make a thorough cleansing with the
hands difficult operation. Then il
one uses a brush with handle, ice
water. which adds to the crispness of
the celery and lettuce, may be used
for the cleaning, as there will be no
necessity for putting the hands in the
water. A small whisk broom is also
valuable for the same purpose.
Such vegetables as potatoes, tur-
nips, etc., are best cleaned with a
brush. It makes work less disagreea-
BILE. as the hands need not be soiled ;
and in no other way can the cleaning

CATTLE AND WASTE OF FODDER.


Professor G. G. Georgeson in writ.
ing to the Prairie Farmer says: 1.-THE
immense proportions of the live stock
interest in this country, which Oh
January l, 1894, was valued at 50, 170,-
600, 600, and the many millions of
people who are directly interested
therein, combine to make the simple
question of how to feed and what to
feed and the proper saving of food one
OF the most important economic ques-
tions in the whole realm of our indus.
trial activity. This may appear like
o startling proposition, but its truth
will be granted when we take a full
view of the interests involved. 1t is,
think, acknowledged that nm extra
ordinary waste of food takes place on
American farms, especially in the
West. Let him who doubts it watch
our corn fields in winter, where two
fifths of the food raised still remains
to be destroyed by the elements; let
him watch our burning straw stacks
and our wasteful methods of feeding;
the waste of manure, the waste by in
iudicious use of foods, and the conse-
quent failure to get tho best returns
in meat and milk. Where sum like
the above is involved the proper or
improper use of food may make the
difference of hundreds of millions OF
dollars annually"

SIXTEEN SHEEP ON AN ACRE.

An experiment is being conducted
by Professor Shaw, at the experiment
farm, says the Northwestern Farmer,
which certainly means good deal, not
only to the Northwest, but to all the
United States. he has undertaken to
pasture six sheep and ten lambs on IN
acre of land. The experiment is sue
ceeding beyond his expectations. The
food is at the present time nearly two
months ahead Of the sheep. They are
doing splendidly on the food, and
have kept in perfect health from the
first.
His plan is to SOW succession OF
foods, so there will always be some.
thing for the sheep on one or the other
of the plots. The acre is divided into
four plots, and the sheep are pastured
on these i'll succession. The harrow is
generally used on each plot after it
has been pastured, and in some in
stances fresh seed is sown. The sea-
son has, of course, been very favora-
BILE, but to Offset that, in part at least,
the land is not SO good as the average
prairie coil, and it has not been
manured for several years.
Professor Shaw says he has not ex-
hausted all the resources in this line,
and he is hopeful that as large num-
ber of sheep and lambs can be kept
on an acre of we'll prepared land in a
dry year. Let it be borne in mind that
the sheep are pastured-none of the
food is cut for them. A bulletin will
be issued giving oil the particulars at
the close of the pasturing season.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


A few acres seeded to rye will fur
nish an early and late succulent bite
for the COWS in milk.
Rotation OF crops enables the land
to.provide plant food for greater va
riety of plants at the least cost to the
farmer.
See that your early pullets are in
their winter quarters and fed nourish.
ing food that they get at their winters
work in good season.
Experiments demonstrate that
cooked potatoes have feeding value
equal of twenty-five per cent. Of that
OF corn. For pigs, especially when
mixed with ground feed, cooked pota-
toes are very satisfactory feed.
Better wait month or more yet be-
fore having the COW served, SO as to
bring the calf later in the season. It
pays better to have the COWS calf in
the fall months, when milk and butter
are not SO plentiful as in May and
June.
This is o good year for the stock
feeder, for while the price of grain is
low, the supply of feeding stock is not
great enough to depress the market
below fair prices. If you can secure
stock to fed, by all means keep your
grain and turn into meat.
Securing in calves usually indicates
Indigestion and is to be prevented by
rational feeding and good care. It
may be checked by teaspoonful Of
lime water in each feed. Regular at
tendance and attention to all the wants
of the animal lie at the foundation of
successful stock management.
Corn on the cob we'll ground with
half the bulk of oats, and mixed with
cut hay, makes a valuable ration for
both horses and COWS. The German
cavalry have ordered just such sup
ply for their horses. Not even the
ruminant COW will digest the whole
grains without waste. The horse does
worse because he does not remasti-
cate.
When celery first began to be gen.
orally used there was a great demand
ior tne large or giant varieties. 1t
was soon found, however, that some of
the smaller kinds of celery had de-
licious nutty flavor, and were so much
superior as to compensate for their
deficiency in size. As celery is at best
luxury, it Is quality rather than
quantity that will most affect its
price.
1t is best to crowd heifers at two
years to their full capacity? Givo
them what they will eat and assimilato
and keep them at work from the first.
Often they will not do as we'll the sec.
ond year rs the fist. but do better the
third year. A study of the nature OF
rations is absolutely necessary, be-
cause, as the COW grows older more

MEASURING HAY IN THE STACK.


We are often asked how to measure
hay, and while we have had some ex-
perience. we prefer to adopt that OF
others to our own. Tho Northwestern
Agricultural on this subject very cor
rectlY says that measuring is very
crude, unsatisfactory method of esti-
mating the weight of hay. There are
times. however, when 1t is imprac.
ticable to use the scales, and close
approximation to the true weight will
answer all purposes. Then, by taking
into consideration that fine, soft hay
will pack more closely than coarser,
sitter quality, that when cut early in
the season it will become more solid
and stiff than late cut hay, that the
degree of dryness when stacked will
affect the weight, that the compact
ness of the lower part of the sack or
load is affected by the height, the
time it has stood, or the distance and
kind OF road it has travelled over, it is
quite possible for person of ordinary
experience and Judgment to make an
estimate of the quantity in load or

RAISING OF HORSES.

The price of horses has of late been
SO reduced that farmers are discour-
aged in horse raising. The low prices
now prevailing are due to want of
demand, on account of the electric
car system, which has been so geper-
ally established throughout the cities
ard some parts of the country for
rapid transportation. This is, no
doubt, in some part the cause of the
weak demand for horses in the markets.
There is, however, another cause,
which will be found in over produc.
tion. A few years ago the horse craze,
as it may be called, prevailed among
farmers, and there was scarcely any
one who was not breeding either first
class roadsters or blooded drivers.
For these for a few years first-class
prices were obtained, and the demand
which was at the time fictitious one,
produced by sort of boom in horse
flesh, produced an oversupply. and
now there are too many horses for the
market, which has for the tine been
somewhat diminished by the electric
car lines.
But good horses are always desira-
bic, and will in the near future bring
better prices than now. Farmers will
understand what they need, and for q
while, perhaps, the supply will be
short of the demand, but the price
will again settle to fair compensa-
tion for the trouble and risk in rails
ing good horses. Good family horses
will always be in demand in the cities
and in the prosperous villages. Cars
may carry men to business, and wo.
men to do their shopping, but there is
a demand, in hours not spent in bust
ness, for carriage horse to supply
need, felt by almost every well-to-do
family, that may have restful airing
in the country or in the parks and
suburbs of the city. Farmers would
do we'll to turn their attention to rails
ing horses to supply this want. Horses
should be raised of the best blood,
not for the turf, but for the carriage,
and as much care should be taken in
their training for this purpose, as is
necessary to produce good condi-
toned, quiet, trusty horses suited to
driving through all the hustle and
noises of the city.
This will require time and care in
the trainer, but such horses will al
ways have good sale, and can be
profitably raised.
Give us good family horses and the
demand will be sufficient to pay the
producer good proft.-Farm News.
