Apple Pomace as Feed.

There is considerable nutriment in
pomace as it comes from the mill.
Stock will eat it quite readily if fed
before it begins to ferment. This,
however, it does very soon if exposed
to the air. Consequently it is best to
place the pomace in air-tight barrels
or hogsheads, so as to keep air from
it, and cover the pomace with some
thing that will hold down the carbonic
acid gas and prevent its escape as it
forms. This is really ensilaging it.
The pomace itself has not nutritive
value to make this worth while. It's
chief value is its succulency, and it
should be fed with grain, hay or meal,
so as to give the proper proportion of
nutrition. When put up in air-tight
barrels and kept slightly below freez-
ing temperature there will be no more
fermentation in the pomace than there
is in the silo, and it can be used till
late in the winter.

Value of Hog Manure.

Hog manure is popularly supposed
so be very rich, partly because hogs
are always fed on grain or other very
concentrated food, and also because
they are SO neat that they always de-
posit their excrement by itself un
mixed with bedding, as will animals
that are generally supposed to be
much more cleanly than the hog. Yet
hog manure is generally slow to heat,
though after fermentation has once
begun it progresses very rapidly.
One reason why manure from the hog
is richer than from other animals is
because the hog uses more of the car
bon in his food to turn into fat, and
less of the phosphate and nitrogen to
change into bone and lean meat. No
domestic animal when fattened has so
large proportion of bone as compared
with it's total weight as has the hog.

Rye After Turnips.

Turnips are the latest crop to be
harvested, and as they continue to
grow after light frosts, there is not
much chance to put i'll later crop
after them. OF course nothing can
be grown and mature the same season
after turnips are off. But winter rye
will bear to be sown very late if the
land is only rich enough. We have
known rye to be sown late in Novem-
ber and barely peep above the surface
the same year. But it grew little
more during the January thaw, and
the next year made as good crop, and
as early also, as rye sown two months
earlier, which made growth that
covered the ground in the fall In
each case all the spring growth Lad to
be made from the root. Where that
is established the richness of the soil
has more to do in making fall-sown
grain ripen early than does its growth
the preceding fall.

A Conyict,s Moral Code.

The leading article in recent issue
of the Monthly Record, published at
the state prison, is entitled ''The Bor-
derland" and is written by No. 18 Fl
and has decidedly religious tone.
Five rules for conduct are laid down,
and the author saws they are princi-
pies by which his life is governed:
a. If possible, be well and have a
good appetite. If these conditions
are yours. the battle of life is already
half won. Many heart and soul trou-
bles arise really in the stomach, though
it may seem strange to you.
(2.) Be busy. Fill the hours so
full of useful and interesting work that
there shall be no time for dwelling on
your troubles, that the day shall dawn
full of expectation, the night fall full
of repose.
(3.) Forget yourself. You never
will be happy if your thoughts con-
stantly dwell upon yourself, your own
perfections, your own shortcomings,
what people think of you, and so on.
a. Expect little. Expect little OF
life, not too much of your friends.
(5.) Trust in God. Believe that
God is, that He really knows what is
best for you; believe this truly, and the
bitterness is gone from life. Hart
ford Comm Courant.

Fiiian Fire-Walkers.

F1lian feet can endure more terrible
contact than the blow of a hard-hit
cricket ball. There is Fiiian tribe
which might make the fortune of any
entrepreneur enterprising enough to
bring them over to the Crystal Palace
or the Westminster Aquarium. They
ore called the fire walkers. About
once year they give on the island of
M'Buya, about twenty-five miles from
Sava, the Fijian capital, what must be
one of the most extraordinary exhibit
tions in the world. In forest glade
abouta quarter OF mile from the shore
a hole is dug in the ground, about
twenty-five feet wide and six feet deep.
Flat stones are spread over its bottom
and wool piled on them and set alight,
When the stones are red hot the burn,
ing logs are dragged away, the stones
carefully made to lie as evenly as pos
sible, and all flames extinguished A
party of tribesmen, garlanded with
green leaves, then descend into the pit
and deliberately walk over the glow
ing stones in procession. Their bare
feet are not burnt or even made hot.
The display takes place under the eyes
of spectators, native and EuropeanI

vertised in Australia to take visitors

Dehorued Cattle Sell Better.

A circular issued by cattle COM
mission company that is in no way
supposed to be prejudiced on the sub
ject beyond making more money for
both buyer and seller says: ''Dehorned
cattle sell better than horned cattle
for all purposes. They are preferred
by shippers, feeders and packers.
They look better, feed better, sell
better, kill out better. The man who
feeds horned cattle is handicapped
from 10 to 25 cents per hundred
weight in most cases."
This is all in relation to beef cattle,
and when we come to consider the
dairy the man who cultivates horns is
still further on the wrong side of the
fence. Why herd of cows should be
ever and eternally on the move, each
COW trying to get behind the other
COW to get away from those ever pres
ent spikes on cows head, surpasses
human comprehension, when an hours
work would take them off and give
each COW in the herd a lifetime ofrest.
That is one objection to handling
thoroughbred Jerseys; the fashion
requires horns on their heads, but 1
have seen quite number of dehorned
Jersey cows of late, to say nothing of
lots OF bulls. Home and Farm.

Warning to Dairymen.

The Country Gentleman, under the
heading, Beware of Aniline Butter

Wits to prove that little child about
two years old got hold of a bottle of
one of the fashionables makes of but
ter color, got some of it in its mouth,
and in few hours died from plain
symptoms of poisoning. Later a
healthy grown cat was made to swal-
low spoonful of the coloring matter,

hours, with all the signs of poisoning.

suppose the best one can do under
the circumstances, says a writer in
Home and Farm, is to require writ
ten statement from the maker that
there is no aniline in the article Of
fered for sale. There are some brands
free from this Objectionable article,
and the makers should make haste to
let the buttermakers know who they
are. Would it really make much diff
ference to the makers of fine butter if

The Florida Limited for St. Augustir

The Florida Limited for st. Augustine.
The first train of the season left the
Pennsylvania Station, Monday, January
II, at IL so a. M, via the Southern Railway,
+. G. & P, and Florida East Coast All
available space was occupied. The Florida
Limited is one of the most superbly fur
nished trains that ever left New York, and
will be operated daily, except Sunday, be-
tween New York and St. Augustine. You
lunch to-day in New York and tomorrow
in st. Augustine. The train is most ex-
quisitely furnished, and every device which
may add to the welfare, comfort and enjoy
ment of the passengers has been provided.
The drawing-room sleeping cars are Of the
latest plan Of Pullman, and the compart-
ment cars are models cf perfection, as the
design for the cars Is such that parties
occupying compartment are free from
the outside world. These rooms are so ar
ranged that they can be used separate or
thrown into a suite Of private apartments
and are unsurpassable in completeness,
etc. The dining cars are of the latest, and
the markets of the North and South are
both drawn upon literally for the best and
most seasonable supplies, while the cuisine
and service are of the highest order. The
library car is furnished with abundance of
easy chairs, sofas, and writing desks, where
stationery is found for the passengers use.
The observation car might be termed the
parlor or reception room OF the moving
palace. 1t has large plate-glass windows
on the sides and ends, from which the fast
flying panorama is viewed with comfort.

Ranking Earth Around Trees.

AS it is often done, the banking of
soil around trees in fall to prevent
mice from barking them does more
harm than good. If any sod, weeds
OF other rubbish are included in bank
ing up the tree, the object is not only
defeated, but the liability to injury is
increased. The purpose should be to
oblige the mice to climb up above the
snow line and expose themselves to
their enemies while gnawing the tree.
This they will rarely do, for much of
this work is done at night when their
natural enemy, the owl is most watch
full. But if the mice find vacant spaces
around the tree, as they surely can if
sod or rubbish are used, they can
work under this protection with
greater safety than if the tree We're
not banked at all. Still it is better to
bank young apple trees, at least as
high as the snow line usually comes.
The warmth from the tree makes a
vacant space in the snow all around
it, and it is under this protection that
most of the destructive work is done.

The Church RelI.

The church bell is another one of the
relics of barbarism with which civili-
zation could readily dispense. Since
the general introduction of clocks and
watches, the bell has really lost its
significance. Certainly it can be
classed among the needless noises"
In the days of Paulus of Nola, in the
A. D.. 400, when the custom first had
its origin, the ringing of bells may
have been necessary to call people to
places of worship-and this was the
sole purpose of the first church bell
but in this present year, so near the
beginning of the twentieth century,
there is surely no need of such an
alarm as is sometimes sounded from
the iron throat of the average church
bell to summon people we'll supplied
with timepieces to their chosen place
of worship. American Medical Month

TRoTTINc RACES IN MOSCOW.
Vivid Description of Characteristic Rus
sian Winter Sport.

Vivid Description of q Characteristic Rus
sian Winter Sport.
It is racing day in Moscow, says a
writer in the Badminton Magazine.
The course is swept clear of snow, and
painted ratings on each side. On one
side is stand, with seating room for
several thousand people and special
box, with tent hangings, for the gov
ernor general, surmounted by the i'm
perial eagle in gold. In front of this
box, lower down, you see the prizes,
consisting of gold and silver cups,
vases and ornamental pieces, all in
Russian style and taste.
The bell rings; the course is cleared
by mounted gendarmes, and now the
competitors in due order take their
places in front of the stand, but not
side by side, as they always start from
opposite sides of the course, with
heads also turned in opposite direc-
tions. The usual race course hum and
noise of the betting men are heard,
and increase in volume as the bell
rings the second time. They are off,
and the fascination of rapid motion,
open air and strenuous exertion throws
its spell over. the assembly, high and
low, for trotting is certainly the most
fashionable and beloved sport in Rus
sia.
You cannot recognize people just
yet; the green fur collars are raised
and reach over the fur caps, leaving
only red tipped noses, beneath which
appear never missing cigarettes. The
ladies' heads are almost entirely COW
cred with woolen wraps, SO here again
you can only guess who is who. 70 a
stranger, not investing his money in
backing his opinion as to winners, the
as the horses do not finish side by
side, but in the way they started. Yet
the Russians think differently and,
besides, is there not plenty of vodha
and caviar to be had between the
races?
Single horses are pitted against each
other, drawing little light sieighs, in
which the driver is seated very low
down and far away from the horse,
owing to the long shafts, intended to
give the horse perfect freedom of ac
ton. A whip is not used, but on the
reins are metal buckles over the quar-
ters, which are employed instead, and
almost all horses run without blink
ers.
Sometimes horse is attached to
the sleigh on one side of the trotter,
who is between the shafts. He is the
pacemaker and gallops the whole
course, whereas, it need not be said,
the trotter must not break. Then
follow pair horses, harnessed, and,
last, troikas, with three horses, some
times four abreast. Troikas are very
barbarously gaudy and clumsy things
to look at, but exceedingly comfort
able all the same.

Late Grown Turnips.

There is no crop grown so easily
and with SO little cost as late-grown
turnips in field of well-cultivated
corn. The shade of the corn will keep
the turnips from growing much until
the corn is cut. Possibly also their
growth will be checked by the demand
of the corn roots for plant food. But
in the Indian summer that follows the
first frost the turnips will make
rapid growth, as they will then have
all the land for their own use. The
turnip will endure pretty heavy
frost, and grow again if warm weather
follows it. But in our climate turnips
cannot be left in the ground all win
