1 Ej \ u . I ■J Tbm Fsix>mo Value or fooi>.—The feeding of animals with foods containing the proper proportions of substances necessary to promote growth or fat is a very important branch of knowledge, and those who fully understand how to procure the largest supply of available matter from the several kinds of feed allowed to stock will derive more satis* factory results than those who feed as a routine,without having any special pur pose to accomplish by so doing. Al though animals are not confined to any particular diet exclusively, where they can be allowed a variety, yet all that can be obtained from the feed, whether it be concentrated or bulky, is classed under the heads of protein, carbo-hy drates; fat and ash. Protein is that sub stance which is principally found in lean meat, the white of eggs and m the blood, being nitrogenous, while the carbo-hydrates inciude starch, woody fibre, sugar, etc., and derive the name from the fact that they are composed (no matter in what form we possess them) of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Fat exists in plants, also, but in small quantities. Ash relates to the mineral substances which supply the bones and tissues. As the matter which it appropriated by the animal is composed ot these four substances—protein, carbo-hjdrates.fat and ash—it is at once apparent that, in order to ieed to tho best advantage, some consideration must be given the character of the food allowed, and, in stead of feeding indiscriminately, cer tain quantities and proportions must be used. Many valuable experiments have been matte lor the purpose of testing grains and tedder, in order to estimate their value lor feeding, and we aie grad ually arriving to that point at which tne aid ot investigations will bo used in or der to ktd animals according to age, period of growth and weight of carcass. For iLbtance, by tho use of 100 pounds of ordinary hay the supply ot digestible nuinm* nt will be a liactiou over live punds oi protein, fortj-threa pounds of caiuo-hydrates and abom a pound of fat, while only a pound of protein can i be extracted irom the same quantity of digestible material in mangolds, with ten pounds of carbo-hydrates and no fat. The difference between the nutri tious matter of hay and mangolds at once enables the stook-breeder to dis card tho n angolds altoge ther or use a less quantity tf buy and eupply tho eie- ticieni y wit<i inaugoids. Any number of subsiancL'S cun beused.proyued they are fed proportionately to value, tne object being to neither have an excess nor deficit of any substance that enters into the composition of tne body. What is given ia the shape of bulky materia), such as hay and straw, can be also iound in grains, which possess nu triment iu a more cono^ntiated form. Using wheat straw as compared with corn, the straw contains about three pounds of protein to the 100 pounds, while corn contains over ten. It is ne cessary. thereiore, to lessen the supply of straw ana add corn to complete the pn portion of piuteiu; and as the straw contains about 40 por cent, of crude fibre, which is almost useless, while corn contains less than 2 per cent, the waste in the system is much less from the corn. Thosiraw, though containing less fat, contains a larger amount of ash, and there is no kind of material used that is deficient in one direction but what is overabundant in other re specie. By directing attention to the study of food composition there is another object to impress on the stockbreeder, which is that by feeding a variety of food the animal will grow faster, fatten more readily and keep in a healthier condi tion than by using a single srticle of diet. Although it it not every farmer who makes it a duty to feed tor nutri tive value only, yet they know by expe rience that certain loods give certain re sults; but the field is still open for more knowledge in tha* direction, and every farmer should avail himself cf the pnvi. lege of obtainiug it. How to Tell a Good Potato.—To distinguish a good from a poor potato, take a sound one, pay no attention to the oi.t-n?e appearance, but divide into two pints min a sharp knife and exam ine tue e j posed inner surfupe. if there is much Water or ‘juice’ that a slight pressure would seemingly cause to fall off m drops 30U may be assured it will be “soggy," alter it ia boiled. That is evidence ei u poor potato and don't you buy i\ The loliowing are requisite qualities of u gi'od jotato: When cut into two, the coloi s oulu be a yellowish white; it it is n cuep jellow it will not cook well. Ti ero must be a considerable amount of moisture though not enough to collect in drops and fall off, even with moderate pressure. Hub the two puc e together, and if is good, a white froth win appear around the edges and also upon the two surfaces alter they are separated. This signifies the pres ence ot a prapet quantity oi starch, Tho more Irotu the more starch, and conse quently the better potato; while the less there is the poorer it w ill cook.The quantity oi the starchy element may also bo judged by the more or less ready adnereuce of the two parts. If the adherence is sufficient for one piece to hold the other up, the fact is evi dence of a good article. These are the experiment! usually made by experts when buying good potatoes, and are the best tests that can be given, short of boding; but eveu they are by no means inialnble. H A NO INO-Baskets —Red flower pots can be converter into these pretty bas kets for lawns or porches. Two large pots, of the ten-inch size will make a handsome pair. Get a small orad-awl ana gimlet of a large s ze, and a small saw-blade set in a handle; work hil-s iu rows all around the pots half an men wide (first soitemng them by soaking over night). Give ihe surface two coato of stcne-eoJomi paint, then sprinkle with sand in which mix diamond dust crlrosting; or paint white, and dust with marble or stonecutter's sand, mix ed wiL’i frosting; tins will give a sur face like marble or stone, us may lie desired. 'i he Guenon theory of judging cows is either true cr false, tor it caiaot be both Surely, if the deliueatious are that a cow will give a certain quantity of milk for a given length of tune the system is complete if the results are iu accordance witn the claim. We are in the | redicanunt of a'seepting a theory while rejecting it practically, for the best breeders hold the escutcheon marks fit high favor, and yet dare not aflirm that their best ccws always have the mott perfect escutcheons. If the theory is correct, it enables any person to be come an expert judge, and if it is not to be relied upon there should ha uo more nonsense about it. DOMESTIC. Household abt.—If you have win dow curtains, hang them ou a simple and obvious pole. It need not be very thick, and is better formed of wood than of metal, for then the rings to which the curtains are attached pass almost noiaolessly. The ends of the pole may be of metsl, but 1 prefer a simple Mil of wood. The pole may tie grooved and little enrichments may be introduced into these grooves, provid ing the carving does not come to the surface and thus touch the rings, which by their motion would injure it. What ever is used in the way of enrichment should be of a simple character, for the height at which the curtain pole is placed would render very fine work altogeth er ineffective. Small mirrors placed at convenient distances add greatly to the appearance of a room. They have far more than double or treble the effect of one large surface. A corner cup board that has solid, unglazed doors, either flat or rounded, would gain rich ness by the insides of the doors being covered with choice bits of old Venetian leather, or failing that, a painted cloth, perhaps with goidleaf background; when such doors are opened and laid back against either wall, the warm fire color would be a valuable adjunct, not interfering with tha brilliant beauties of shelved treasures, such as rare old china glass or silver, A pretty apron.—A dressy little ap ron lor afternoon wear can be made by taking a piece of cheese cloth twenty- nine inches long by twenty-one wide, aud after hemming the sides, fringing out the bottom to the depth of four inches; a couple of inohes above the fringe draw the threads for two more, and run in either satin or ottoman rib bon of light weight. If the nbbon is pmk, embroider iu the left hand corner above it a spray of wild roses in nat ural colors iu outline stitch. If blue, corn flowers arc pretty. At the top of the apron make to small gores so that it will fit smoothly, and after binding with the cheese 010th, taok on a piece of tho ribbon long enough to tie in a bow at the back. For one It requires one yard of cheese cloth and three of ribbon, two inches wide. The design for embroidering can be 1 rawu or traced with a pencil from something elne. These npiotiH nre very pretty tor laus or attie i-iibi-iiis, and are both inexpensive and quickly made. Av exchange publishes the following hint to the ladies : bave the tea leave* for a few days, then steep them iu a tin pail or pan for a half hoar, strain through a sieve and use the tea for all varnished paint. It requires very little elbow polish, as the tea acts as a strong detergent, cleaning the paint from all the impmities, and making the varnish equal to new. It cleans window sashes, oil oloths-indoed any varnished surface ia improved by its application. It washes window panes and mirrors much better than water, aud is excellent for ole-iuiug black walnut and pictures and looking-glass frames. It will not do to wash unvarnished paint with It, Never peel peaches too dry. Let them be mellow enough to be in good eating condition, put them in boiling water for a moment or two and the skins will come off like a charm. Let them le iu tho water long enough, but uo longer. The gam is at least sixfold —saving of time lu removing the skin, saving of the peach, tho best parts at that, and takes Jess time to dry the peacliee, as a whole bushel may be scalded iu a boiler at once, aud the water turned off Dry as rapidly as possible in a cool oven if you have not an evaporator. Sheep tongues. —Take well washed sheep tongues and rub into each a tablespoouiul of talt, a tablespoonful of moist sugar aud a little bay salt; place in a pan, add a gill of vinegar and a pinch of ground allspice ; let lie five days iu the piekle ; put them into boiling water, and simmer gently one hour; take off the skins, trim round tho roots, slightly glaze them ; garnish with parsley, A hint About boiling ham.—Boiled ham are muon nicer if allowed to stand in the water in which they are boiled until cold; the outside then does not turn blaoi; and dry up os it does when taken from the water to cool, conse quently there is less waste in preparing them for the table. But always re member to remove the hd of tho ket tle so that the steam may escape. This should be doue after boiliing anvthing of the kind. ' Roast chine op pork.—Coil half an hour in hot salt water. Take out and lay upor a dish to cool somewhat. (Put tne pot liquor into the stock pot) Rub the warm chine all over with a little pepptr and powdered sage, then with beaten egg; strew with bread crumbs, and set in a good oven umil tender, bhould it browu too fast cover it. Bass apple sauce with it. For a siok person.— A nourishing and pleasant uruik for a siok person is made of parched rice. Browu the rice the same as you do coffee; then pour boil ing water with a little salt in it over tne rice, Let it boil uulil it is tender; then add sugar or cream to it. It may be strained or not, according to taste. Virginia corn ruead.—Dissolve a tabletpooutul ot butter in pints of boiling milk, and into this seahi 1 quart 01 Indian meal. When cool add one- half pint of wheat flour, a little sugar, a teaspooutui of salt aud 2 eggs, well beaten. Mix well together aud bake in two cake-tins well buttered. Sugar cake.— Mix four cupfuls of sugar with eight cupiuls of Hour and one large cupful of oonander seed, add one cupful of batter, one cupful of lard, six egga, two tablespoonfula of sour 01 earn cr milk, one teaspoouf ul of soda. Worth knowing.—a clam shell is moie convenient lor scraping kettles and frying pons than a knife. It does tne work in less time. In Ontario experimental farm exper ience,the short-hern is an average milk er, short in duration per seaspn, low m specific gravity, high in percentage 11 cream, propoitionate'y iu butter, and also high in cheese production. The grades of this breed approach the near est to what is called a “general purpose cow. To KEEP hands soft.—To keep hands soft, mix honey, olive oil and almond meal, and use it when wasbing hands; wear gloves when practicable. That kerosene will soften b uts and sjjoes that h. ve been hardened by water, and wifi make them pliable as new. HUMOROUS. The Ideas of children concerning the peculiarities of representatives of other nations besides their own are apt to be a little mixed. This was illustrated in this city last Sunday, when a gentle man sent his little boy to ohuroh and stayed at home himself. Upon the re turn of the lad the father said : “Well, Charley, who was in the pew this morning “Oh no one but a Frenchman,” re plied the boy, oontempuously. “How did you know he was a French man?” queried paterfamilias. “Because I do,” was the answer, “he had ‘Paris’ in his hat and he smelt bad.” Penetrated to the Uone.

Those good old times : “I tell you, pard,” said old Jimmy Cannon, a guide, “the West has lost its romance.

I tell you, it looks as though us old-timers would have to move away. When we have to wait for lingering disease to snuff us out it’s time to light out for the frontier.” Walnut Leaf Hair Restorer. It is entirely different from all others. It is as olear as water, and as its name indicates is a perfect Vegetable Hair Restorer. It will im mediately free the head from all dandruff,re- store gray hair to Its natural color, and pro duce a new growth where it has fallen off It does not in any manner affect the health, which sulphur, sugar of '.ead and nitrate ot silver preparations have done.

Adding injury to insult : A tall, styl ish-looking woman,leading a greyhound, passed the balcony of a Saratoga hotel, on which two gentlemen were standing. “What a beautiful creature,” said one of them, iu a voice that proved loud enough lor the lady to hear. Turning very red in the face she glanced ungrily at the speaker and said : “You have no right to insult me sir.” “Excuse me, madam,” be replied, “but you flat ter yourself. I was alluding to your dog. The Blood Would Hun.—For five years I was a great sufferer from Catarrh.

Read the evidence of a worthy mechanic who was obliged to leave wot k, who has been cured, and is now able to again attend to his labors and support his family. Mr. Henry Williams was recently spoken to about his general health. He replied by niaking a general statement, which Is in sub stance as follows: I was formerly employed In the sewing machine works at East bridge- port,Conn..until 1 was taken sick and obliged to leave work. After a couple of months of hard battle I am about welt aud ready to return. I feel Impelled, from a sense of duty, to make known my case, with the hope that it will be made known to every suffering man and woman with diseased kidneys,that there Is a medicine called Hunt’s Remedy capable, as I believe, of curing any case of the most extreme form, and when no other relief can be obtained. I will give you some of the details of my case, observing at the same time that language could hardly describe my sufferings. About two months ago I caught a heavy cold which settled iu my kidneys, and the pains in the small of my back were some thing f. arful. I wan unable to work, and suffered the most when walking or standing for&nylength oftime; had two doctors, but received uo benefit from either. I had a natural antipat by against patent medicines, but I tell you that is all gone. I saw Hunt’s Remedy advertised, sent and got a bottle, and with the first dose I began to get well. I continued the use of it, and am now around as you see me, and am perfectly well, and am about to go to work. I consider it the greatest medicine for kidney complaints ever yet discovered. li my statement will be of service yon are at liberty to use my name. A Stranger runs away: There were eight or ten of them seated on the grocery steps as the stranger came, up, and one of them led off with, “Yes, gentlemen, this village needs capital and needs it had.” “That’s so," added a second; “What we want here is money.” VYes, we want capital to de velop things,” sighed a third—and so it went down the line, until everyone of the lot had expressed his opinion that capital was wanted. The last man looked up at the stranger and added, don’t it seem that way to you?" “It does, sir," was the prompt reply. “What would be your opinion of the way capital ought to be invested here?” “Well, my plan would be to lay out the first five thousand dollars In bar- soap, crash towels, barbers’ shears and kicking machines 1” was the firm reply, as he prepared for a run of half a mile to the depot The Feeble Grow strong When Hostetler's Stomach Bitters is nsed to pro mote assimilation of the food and enrich the blood.
