Second—An average two or three- year-old steer will eat its own weight of „ w . will add oue-third of a pound more per ' to their weight upon prepared hay ,»pon the same material ■ 30 per cent, more pro fitable to mature,and dispose of, fatten ing cattle at two years old than to keep them up to 8 yeais. Filth—There u noloss in feeding a cattle beast well upon a variety of ma terials for the sale ot manure alone. Sixth—Farm yard manure from well- fed cattle three years old is worth an average of per ton. Seventh—Athree-year-old cattle beast well fed, will make at least one ton of manure every month of winter. Eight. No cattle beast whatever will pay lor the direct increase to its weight from the consumption of any kind or quality Vf food. Ninth—On an average it costs twelve cents for every additional pound of flesh added to the weight of a two or 8-year- old fattening steer. Tenth—In Canada the market value of store cattle can be increased 86 per cent daring six mouths of finishing by good feeding. Eleventh—In order to procure a safe profit no store cattle can be sold at less than four and a half cents per pound, live weighty > Twelfth—In fhe fattening of wethers, to ttuish os shearling, the Cots wold and Leicester grades can be made up to 200 ponedu, the*Oxford Down to 180 pounds, and the South Down (grades) 170 pounds each, live weight, Thirteen—A cow wintered npon two tons and a half of hay will produce not far from five tons of manure, provided that she is well Jittered.and none of the excrements wasted. Beactt fbom Mixed Bulbs.—To guard against the general objection made to spring bulbs planted with only one kind, together—that though beauti ful beyond description while in flower, the time of blossoming is brief, and thereafter the beds look bare and are not fttnlablc fur other use. The Ameri can Okrtien suggests an ingenious com bination which has been tested with DOMESTIC. “All wool" bi&hkets haye grown wonderfully cheap of late, and some people have been laboring under the delusion that wool raising was becom- ing less profitable A reformed dealer in blankets explained the drop in the price in this wise : “This blanket," he said, holding np a pair that bad been waranted all wool, “has a little wool of the second class and the rest is hair that once pranced over the prairies on the scarred flanks of a long iorned Texas steer. It is a product of the tanneries and a valuable one at that The people think that the hair from tan neries is used by plasterers, and snch, and so part of it is, bnt the white hair goes to the factory. When the hair is taken oil the hides in the fleshing room m the tannery, the white portions are picked out and packed in separate bandies. It is sold to cloth manufac turers, who extract the lime and wash the hair carefnlly. It is mixed with enough wool of low grade to enable the manufacturer to cord it and work it into blankets and a rough sort of goods that cheap clothing is made of. The better part of the brown hair is used in making army blankets and some of it goes into clothes bnt not a great deal. The blankets and doth made in this way are worn and wear fairly well, but they are a long way from being all wool. There is only one way to tell them, but it is simple. When yon can pull short hairs out of an all wcol blanket, you can know that it is three-fourths cow’s hair." The improved kind of tuberous-rooted begouiss, n w every wuere so abundant, make excellent basket plants. In this way their large, brilliantly colored leaves, which are naturally of a droo ping character, can be seen to advan tage, and if grown in good soil and k*‘pt well supplied with water in a moderately cool, dry house, they will produce a charming display for months in succession. On rookwork, too, in any corner of a conservatory or green house, or even out of doors in a warm corner, they grow and flower freely, and are exceedingly effective. To tall, light-leafsd, sab-tropical plants, in a warm, sheltered situation, they would add variety of color and be much more satisfactory than plants of other kinds often used for snub purposes. much - pleasure during several years: This fault can be overoome by use of such hatbs as bloom successively. Make a round bed of any size and plant au inner row of crocus, and next outside a row of hyacinths; than a second row of croons, and next one of tulips. Con- tinne this until the bed is filled—mak ing every second row crocus and alter nating hyacinths and tulips between them. The row on the extreme edge mdet be crocus and the space inside of the first row should be filled with tulips or hyacinths. The effect of a bed thus arranged is extremely pretty a long time, and thus arranged, it may remain nudisturbed two or three years. Snow has no sooner gone than the bed is bright with the cheery little oiocns which apparently covers the whole sur face. Tnese will hardly have passed a wav when we have a bed of hyacinths, in all their delicate, lovely tints. The tulips then form a climax of gorgeous- ness that will last till the miduie of Jane. The foliage ot the crocus, which is extremely delicate and pretty, is in perfection during the flowering of the hyacinths and taiips,and covers the bed as with a lovely green carpet, taking away the usual bare look of bulb-beds whan oat of their time of bloom. Still another succession might be had Oy scattering the bulbs of the Spanish iris through the bed. They are perfectly hardy, with slender foliage, and furnish exquisitely beautiful flowers in every shade of blue, purple, white, and even chocolate. These, following the tplips, need only seeing to be appreciated. The Midget Sheep.—The very smal lest ol aH kinds of sheep says St. Nich olas is the tiny Breton sheep. It is too small to be very profitable to raise; for of course, it can not have much wool, and as for eating, why, a hungry man could almost eat one at a meal. It is so small when full grown that it can hide behind a good sized bucket. It takes its name from the particular part of France Where it is most raised. The Jfome and Farm says that the largest yield ot cotton ever made to o ie acre w«s five bales. This yield was ob tained m Washington county, Ga..in the year ISTfL The.lot was planted with a view to* premium offered by the Geor gia Agricultural Society. It embraced one and one-fourth acres; and the yield of seed cotton was 6891 pounds, of lint, 2382 pounds. The best ginger cookies that I ever tasted had in place of the usual cupful of water a cupiul of sweet milk. This gives a lightness to the cake that water cannot give. The formula for these is : Two cupfuls of New Orleaus molasses, one cupful of sugar, one cupful of sweet milk, halt a cupful of lard, oue tea- spoouful each of ginger aud of soda, and half a teaspoon ml of salt. The lard instead of being melted, should be rubbed with the flour the same as for pie crust. A novel entree is made by boiling until tender au equal quautity of car rots aud turnips. Boil them m separ ate kettles in salted waters. When done mash aud season with pepper aud butter, aud a little more salt if neoes- sury. Butter a vegetable dish, aud put in first a ia\ er of turnip, then one of carrot, aud no on until the dish is full. This may be turned out on a small, deep platter, aud if closely packed in it will keep its shape. An entree specially designed to ac company roast pork is made in this way: Feel as many potatoes as will cover the bottom oi a deep pie dish. Sprinkle half a tepspoouful of dried sage over them. Cut a small onion in thin slices, and spread them over this. Add salt and pepper, aud little lumps oi butter, according to your taste. Cover the bottom of the dish with water, and bake in a moderate oven. An appetizing entree is made by tak ing com boned cabbage ; chop ft line; ter a medium sized pudding dishful aidd two well beateu eggs, a tablespoon- fui of butter, three tablespoonfuls of cream, with pepper aud salt adlibitum. Butter the pudding dish, put the cab bage in, aud bake until Drown. This may be eaten cold, but it is much bet ter if served hot. It is especially good with roast pork or pork chops. A somewhat novel way to trim a table scan is to put three cornered pieces of silk or satin on each end. Have these pieces half a yard deep at tiie longest side; in the corner embroider a spray ot flowers ; where tne satin or silk end joins the ooutre part of the scarf pat a row of fancy stitches. A dark crim son felt soaif, with one end light blue, the other of crimson shaded to brown, is yery handsome. A Vebmost sheep raiser says that the best ssettiuMi of doctoring sheep for foot rot is to wet every foot of every sheep in the flock, sound or lame, thoroughly with kerosene or coal oil, aud put what sulphur you can take in the thumb and flog* between the hoofs of each foot. Keep them in a dry place for twelve hoars. Repeat this operation in aimut two weeks, and yon will have no more trouble. T-ii ■ It da wise to make a general compost of everything about a farm that can be so utilized. The manure from poultry, »he_p, Bones and cattle may be mixed together, and if the refuse of the litter, straw, leaves, and also the scraping, be added, the whele will serve as au excel- lent absorbent for the liquids that are sometimes wasted, Th» beat- farmers never allow land to lie idle, for with gronud, as with people idleness is productive of mischief. Woods will grow if no crop is planted. As soon as rytfwr wheat has been harvested sow peas or some fast-growing crop. Plas ter applied in connection with this will greatly enrich comparatively poor ■oil.MS at tto- at X • ertr*. -' Soiling must of necessity beoomi common practice on land of high vt Land worth more than $20 per shouldnot be used wholly lor pai . he pastured i value it la clear on one J ,ov Jjb v a I';.. . fDu poured into the filled pples and potatoes after st< eiiar baa been found to be i “jprqvemeut on all other ] 1 them, they remaining ' “cr.ep-and apparent gol little work generally Fbuit puddino.—One-half pint each of molasses, sugar, butter and sour milk; three eggs ; two teaspooufuls of soda, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and raisins; floor to make a stiff batter.
