MANAGEMENT OF cows.

It will not do to determine any
yexed question in the management OF
COWS or other farm animals without
long and repeated trial and experience.
The greatest mistakes are made by
this imperfect testing of the effect OF
foods, for instance, on the milk pro-
duct. A month is not at all sufficient
time to determine any question of the
kind. And yet there are alleged
scientific experimenters who are salts
fed with term of three days feeding
to decide most important questions,
involving millions of dollars in their
results on the profits of the dairy.
Foods for an animal are very much
analogous to fuel for fires. We
estimate the value of foods by
the heat equivalent, as we term the
effects of the nutriment on the system,
whether for support of the animal OF
the product of it. Those who follow
the reports of the trials of new war
ships must have remarked how impor
tant matter it is to the success OF the
speed tests to have very best fuel. How
experts are employed to select the
coal, piece by piece, SO that every
pound of it may generate the greatest
possible heat to make the steam tc
move the engines that force the huge
vessel through the water.
Just in the same way, at that nota
BILE test of dairy cows held at the great
exposition in Chicago, over two years
ago, the first and most trusted expert
was employed to select the food for the
cows there contesting the palm Of SUI
periority in their special fitness for
the dairy. This was reasonable, and
it goes to show how important it is
that every one interested in the feed
ing of COWS for profit should do as
much of the same for himself in decid-
ing just what foods should be chosen.
1t Is not as it was but few years
ago, when food was food, and there
was no choice between the kinds of it,.
1t is true that the old kinds, the stand
ards, such as bran, cornmeal, oats,
middlings, linseed oil meal, made by
the old process by mere pressure, then
varied very little in feeding value, and
it was not worth the time spent to
examine them further than to note
the results of the feeding in the guam
tity and quality of the products. But
now we have long lists Of waste pro-
ducts which are of use for feeding, all
varying il value as to their feeding
qualities, and all Of them need an
exact analysis to determine the value.
Thus, the feeder must be very careful
to ascertain what the actual value OF
what he buys is before he pays his
money for it.

SHEDDING OF THE HAIR.

The shedding of the hair is natural
function of all domestic animals ex-
cept the sheep, which will retain its
fleece for two years if it is not shorn,
after which it, too, sheds its coat.
The melting of birds is an analogous
process, and there is no difference ex-
cept in form in the character of the
hair and feathers. This shedding
process goes on naturally when the
animal is in good health, otherwise it
is either wholly or partly stopped,
and the old hair is retained while the
skin becomes hard and dry and covered
with eruptions of small itching
vesicles. The skin in the spring is in
o very active condition by reason of O
greatly increased circulation of the
blood, doubtless to supply the growth
Of hair, and also of the new skin, the
old skin peeling off in small dry scales.
Thus it is very necessary to keep the
animal in the best OF health by giving
soft laxative food at the season when
the shedding of the coat is expected.

A Lazy Mans Device.

The Patent Office grants the exclu-
sive right for the manufacture of many
odd things, but there was one patent
issued this week which is probably the
most peculiar passed upon for many u
day. 1t is the idea of James 9. Boyle,
of Spokane, Wash. who evidently is IL
very courteous but lazy man. His in
vention is nothing less than device
for saluting friend by tipping his
hat without manual labor. The in
ventor says that it will be found es-
pecially convenient for gentlemen who
live in cold climates and do not care
to take their hands out of their peck.
cts on cold days. The patent, so the
inventor claims. makes the hat lifting
by hand unnecessary. When man
meets lady friend and wishes to speak
to her all he will have to do, provided
he wears this patent" saluting Device"
is to slightly nod his head, then there
is click, and the mechanism, which
is in the interior of the hat, starts.
The hat is suddenly hoisted, as if by
magic, foot above the head, where,
for a moment, it poises, and, describ-
ing semi-circle, settles back in its
place on the head OF the wearer. New

The plant going by the common
name OF the artichoke Is not the real
artichoke, garden vegetable, having
large, thick, heshy heads, that are
cooked and eaten much in tie same
way as the caulifower is. The arti-
choke referred to is o species of the
sunfower family, and has flower like
a small sunhower growing at the top
of a tall, thick stem. The root is
tuberous and grows deeply IN the soil.
1t is eaten as the potato is and resem-
bles that tuber quite closely. 1t is,
however, of much less value than the
potato, as the tubers grow too deeply
to be gathered, except by digging with
a spade. Many attempts are con-
stantly made by dishonest persons to
mislead the public that is not aware OF
the facts into spending money for
seed under grossly inaccurate state
ments of its value. 1t is worthless for
all practical purposes, and, worse, for
once planted it occupies the ground
permanently as pernicious weed, the
tubers lying too deeply in the ground
to be got out, making the plant grow
year after year in spite of efforts to
eradicate it. 1t is in no sense of the
word substitute for the potato. -

RHUBARB AS A VEGETABLE.

After The rhubarb has served its
purpose by giving US its leaf stalks in
early spring, it often throws up an
immense bunch OF flowers An Eng
lish writer states that if this head of
flowers is cut off, and treated like
caulifower, it is just as good and de-
sirable. One would suppose that there
was something of the acid taste of the
stalks in this flower head; but this
writer says not. Many plants have a
great difference between the elements
in their flowers or fruit and the
leaves. We can, for instance, eat a
tomato, and find it both healthful
and agreeable; but if we were to
venture to eat handful of tomato
leaves, they would probably be the
end of us. Those who are on the
lookout for new vegetables might,
however, make trial of the rhubarb
flowers. 1t may be noted that the
tomato is very closely related to the
tobacco, and equally poisonous with
that celebrated plant. - Meehan's
Monthly.

FEEDING MARKET GARDENS.

The old idea that fertilizers were
not adapted to market gardening, was
long ago exploded by the practical
experience of the big market gardeners
near our large cities and by the truck
farmers in the South. Cabbage,
celery, spinach and similar leafy
vegetables depend for quality upon
quick growth, and it results only from
plenty of soluble plant food in the
soil. "a slow growth is usually
tough. dull and rusty, while q quick
growth is tender, bright and crisp.
Only by filling the soil with de-
composed stable manure in excess of
what the crops need, can the needed
supply of available plant food be OBJ
tanned from manure. Usually 1t is
cheaper and more satisfactory to feed
these market garden crops with
fertilizers than to buy horse manure
at high prices and haul or ship it long
distances. - New England Homestead.

A Good Thing,

lord Wolseley, the British Com.
mander-in-Chief, in public address
recently, said that he could not help
thinking it was good thing for the
school children of the United States to
be brought up in the conviction that
they belonged to the greatest Nation
in the world, and must be ready to
fight for it, and he added that he
would like to see every child in an
English school taught to admire and
love his country and the constitution
under which he lived, SO that he
would be prepared to maintain that
constitution against ali corners. - De-
