AN APPLE PROBLEM.

Once upon time there were tw
old men who sat In the market every
morning and sold apples. Each one had
thirty apples, and one Of the old men
sold two for cent. and the other old
msn sold three for cent. In that way
the first old man got fifteen cents for his
ha sket Of apples, while the second old
man received ten cents; so that together
they made twenty-five cents each day.
But one day the old spple-msn who sold
three for a cent was too sick 10 60 10
the market, and he asked his neighbor
10 take his apples and sell them for him.
This the other old man very kindly con-
sented 10 do. and when he got TO the
market with the two baskets OF apples,
he said to himself, II will put all the
apples into one basket, for IL will be
easier than picking them out OF two
baskets. 80 he put the sixty apples into
one basket, and he said TO himself,
Now. IL sell two apples for one cent,
and my old friend sells three for one
cent. thst il the same thing as selling
five apples for two cents. Therefore
will sell i've for two cents When he
had sold the sixty spples he found he
had only twenty-four cents, which was
right: because there are twelve tiyes in
sixty. aud twice twelve are twenty
four. But IL the other old man had been
there, and each one had sold his apples
separately. they would have received
cents. Now, how l. that eN-
planned st. Nicholas.

New York Chinese Quarters.

There is one feature of New York
amusements that is wholly unknown TO
the Chinahan, and that Is the concert
garden. To congregate i'll public place
to drink intoxicating beverages, listen
to sensuous music and watch vulgar
displays Of the human figure, TO be
waited upon by young women Of more
than questionable character, to take
part in profane and obscene talk, all
this is beneath the dignity of China
man, and nowhere in the Chinese quar-
ter. from beginning TO end, can such a
place be found. But they are found on
the Bowery, and Germans, Irishmen,
Italians and Jews fill the places to the
doors. Helen +. Clark in Century.

DAIRY GRANUlES.

Cold skim-milk lacks much OF being a
fit food for young calf. IL lacks
warmth and il lacks fat. These things
ought 10 be restored TO il before it is
given to helpless calf. IL the cream
is removed by separator while the
milk is warm, and corn meal or flax
seed Jelly added in proper quantity, it
will serve the calf almost as well as
whole milk. But skim-milk always
needs 70 be re-enforced.
There is no such thing as impure
milk. taking the COW in normal condi-
ton: il is the sloyenly conditions and
surroundings which make il so. All
milk is good as produced by the COW.
No art or magic Of man can improve
the milk as drawn from the COW. We
talk about handling milk as though its
good qualities could be improved, but
there is no virtue in handling milk
only TO retain It's original pure quality.
There ia no virtue in handling milk
10 add to its good qualities, nor any
power 10 restore what IL has already
lost. The very best that can be done
is 10 retain all the good qualities In tire
milk thst the COW puts in.

The Maine Farmer believes that IL is
as good as certain thst the high rate OF
forty cents pound for butter portion
of the time each year has gone by for
ever. aud that such changes have come
around in the progress of time that
those extreme prices are no longer
probable. Winter dairying is now wide
ly practised, which eyens up the guam
tity of fresh supply the year around,
leaving no season for shortage. Cold
storage has been so perfected that the
surplus Of summer make is now held in
almost perfect condition 10 meet any
special dema nd that may arise later In
the season. Then sgain, the creamery
business in the country at large has in-
creased 10 such an extent that the de-
mands OF consumption are now not
only fully met, but We are actually
making more butter than our people call
for. IL Is fact we cannot overlook,
that. a. is the case with wheat, corn,
beef, pork and mutton, butter produc-
ton has reached a point where II IL

have ruled in the past. The SURPRISING
abundance of soil productions in our
country has certainly reached, and now

other productions, rule lower in selling
price than in the years away back in the
past.-New England Farmer.

farmers In New England, though the
land looked very fertile and exceedingly
smooth-not stone anywhere, and the
acres and acres that might be moved by
machinery were still done by hand, be-

soil. The land, as every one knows, Is

companions that they could buy good

pared to those novels, in America for
that money, they opened their eyes In
astonishment.
We saw one or two OF the mansions OF
the owners OF these vast estates, con-
tanning thousands Of acres, and some OF
them have hundreds Of tenants. The
fields look very beautiful, as all the
fences are Of hawthorne hedge, which in

hounds was ahead, and the riders dash

IL they come in their way-but our SYM
pathies were with the fox.
We see little clumps of trees here and
there, with fences around them, which
we learn are for the birds and rabbits to
breed In. Many OF the largest estates
keep ten or twelve game-seepers, whose
business IL Il To see that no one
"poaches" or shoots game belonging To
them.
The principal and favorite way OF
traffic here is with canal boats, and every
little stream has It's towpath, with the
horse on the bank drawing the tow

The MERITS OF DIFFERENT CATTLE
FEEDS.
CORN MEAL AND CORN SILAGE.-CooK-
ING SELDOM AN IMPROVEMENT
MODERATION IN OILY AND NITROGEN
OUs FOODS.

In consideration Of various foods for
cattle a correspondent of the Jersey
| Bulletin decides that oats, as dairy
| food, Is worth at least Is per cent more
than wheat bran, and 10 per cent more
than mill feed (bran aud shorts). In a
breeding herd the difference In value is
even greater.
Good corn silsge Is excelled in milk
giving value by no other one food. un-
less il be good pasture grass. Like grass
il brings out all the inherent value of
dry food.
4 good silo increases the cow-keeping
capacity of good farm by at least one
third. Some claim one-half. Silage also
adds very materially TO the condition of
the cows during the winter. Keeps
their digestion in better order and brings
them TO the spring grass in better flesh.
Corn meal deserves a good place in
all rations for Jersey cows, newspaper
chemists 10 the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
The man, who, seeking cheapuess,
sacrifices quality in butter-making, Is
truly penny wise and pound foolish.
Ii is at all times not only desirable, but
A duty 10 reduce the cost Of foods TO
the lowest point consistent with the
preservation Of the health of the cows
and the maintenance Of the quality of
their product. But the man who en-
dangers the health Of his cows by
cheap feeding, or impairs In the slight
est degree the high quality OF their
butter product, had better change his
vocation.
Cottonseed meal furnishes more nitro
gen az less cost than any other Of the
foods common To our markets. For this
reason IL can only be fed in smSll quan
titles for anv length of time without i'm
pairing the digestion of cows. Two
pounds day Is ample for a Jersey COW.
Even this small amount should always
be accompanied by some succulent or
relaxing food.
Oil meal also needs 70 be fed in mod
eratiou. not exceeding two pounds a
dav. It's effect l. directly opposite cot
tonseed meal. Cottonseed meal Is costive
and tends TO tie up the bowels, while oil
meal i laxative and tends to loosen
them. CottUnseed meal makes hard but
ter. oil meal makes soft.
doubt IL any good, sound cattle foods
are ever sufficiently improved by cook
ing 10 paw for the labor and expense OF
the operation. Poor food, especially
poor fodder and hay, may be enough
benefited TO pay the expense, but the
good farmer doesn't have such food to
cook, as rule.
Whenever the mercury plays around
the zero notch, IL will pay 10 warm the
