stOver 10 a Profitable Food.

Corn has been so long grown just for
its grain that it is hard to realize that
one-halt of its value lies in the stover
which Is too often left standing in the
1eld. If we expect to find this about
as valuable as timothy hay we must
give it the same care, otherwise it will
become dry and unpalatable, and there
will be great loss of material. Some
people deny this, but they are the ones
who find that stock will not eat the
dried, woody, weather-beaten stuff.
Hence they denounce corn fodder as an
improbable food. Yet these same peo-
Pile would not look for much value in
hay which had been subjected to a SINH
lar course of neglect.-N. Y. World.

The First Armored Vessel.

A French author who has been in
Vestigating the naval records of France
and Italy claims that the armored war
ship is by no means the novelty it is
generally supposed. Records preserved
in the arsenal at Nice show that in 1880
an Rrmored ship was built at that port;
It's name was Santa Ana, and it was one
Of the squadron sent by the Emperor
Charles V. against Tunls. The Santa
Ana was an armored galley, with
numerous guns, and carried fighting
crew Of 300 men, besides the galley slaves
who worked the oars The armor con-
sisted Of heavy plates Of lead fixed to the
sides OF the ship by bronze bolts, and
was probably sufficient to resist the
musket balls and the shot from the
small guns used in those days. So the
originality of Ericsson and our other
modern shipbHilders disappears. II our

Influenoe OF Rood on Milk.

That the food and water dairy COWS
take have direct influence on milk and
butter there is no doubt, and am Of
the opinion that many cases of bad
butter are attributed to the mismanage-
ment Of the dairymaid that ought to be
put down to bad management in the
cow sheds. We are now pretty we'll up
to-date in all dairy appliances and con-
trivances, but there is sometimes great
carelessness or ignorance displayed out
side the dairy. There needs cattle breed
ing specially for dairying, and more
care is required in feeding; in this last
connection leaf might well be taken
out Of the book of the Channel Island
dairy farmers.-Rural World.

Anteoedents Of tho Turnlp.

Originally the turnip came from
Europe, but has spread almost over the
world. 1t grows luxuriantly in Siberia.
and Is known all over Asia. The turnip
Ia it's wild state is found in many parts
of North America, but is a small and in
ferior article compared with those with
which we are familiar. AS food for cat
tie, turnips, especially the yellow sorts,
are excellent; but they should never be
fed to cows that are giving milk, as they
impart an extremely unpleasant flavor
and odor to the milk, and for some rea-
son or other that dairymen do not un-
derstand, the milk from turnip-fed
cows has very little cream.

ana profit in having vegetables both
early and late. There is decided relish
in very early vegetables, if of our own
production, and providing they can be
produced at a reasonable price. The
Eotbed meets all these conditions; when
properly managed it will furnish many
vegetables nearly two months in adj
vance of the garden, and of much better
quality, because they are grown more
quickly and at moderate cost.
But the hotbed to be profitable must
be made useful the entire season, or at
least from March to January. After it
has furnished us with an early crop OF
radishes and lettuce, together with
plants for early cabbage, caulihower
and tomatoes, it can be made highly
useful for cucumbers, not our common
garden varieties, but the English frame
sorts, which do finely with us in sum-
mer when grown in o frame, which
should be kept we'll shaded on sunny
days. We have grown as large and we'll
shaped cucumbers in these frames as
we have ever seen grown in the green
house.
If cucumbers are not desired, SOW d
few seeds of tomatoes about the list
of June, not later than the 10th; these
will ripen their first fruits upon the ap-
proach of frost, when the sash should be
put on, and the season of tomatoes can
be prolonged for at least month. After
these are gone the frame can be filed
with lettuce plants, which should be In
readiness, and, with little protection,
the hotbed will furnish a supply during
December.
A goOdly number of cold frames
should be in readiness in spring to re-
ceive the young plants of tomatoes, cab
bage and caulifower, in order to harden
them off before transferring them to
the garden; this will afford the lettuce
all the room it will require for heading,
as the other plants should be sown in
alternate rows in order to make all the
space useful.
The Importance of this kind of farm
ing is but little understood or appre-
ciated. 1t is carried on extensively near
all large cities, and is made profitable
by those who understand it. But it Is
doubly valuable to the small farmer who
grows not SO much for profit as for
pleasure, for those who are willing to
pay to their gardeners what their vege-
tables and small fruits would cost them
in the market, and the rental Of the
farm besides, for the satisfaction there
is in having everything fresh and strict
ly first-class in every respect.-Rural
