~ FABM AND HOUSEHOLD, Cirecn Fooil Versns Dry Food for Cows Professor J. "VV. Sanborn, of the Missouri Agricultural college, says: For three years I have carried on very careful experiments with green food versus dry food lor cows during the summer season, weighing food, growth or decline in weight of cows, weight of milk and weight of bulks. "With the present price aud plentitudc of good pasture, * clover, timothy and grains in Missouri, I very seriously doubt the propriety of handling daily in little lots by high-priced labor water-laden green food for our dairy or other herds. Rural branching sorghum, or milo maize, claims a more favorable notice as a forage plant. It has remarkable tilling propensities and a very large proportion of leaf to stem growth. When cut to the ground new and often an increased number of shoots spring up, and gain a luxuriant leaf development for a 6econd crop, of which cows are very "? * J *1- ilt/t lond. it nriKcs goou growm uu mu college farm nnd warrants attention by those who are looking for a substitute for ordinary corn and clover. Grass Boundaries, In laying out farms or in remodeling the fields an important consideration is how many fences ami fence rows can be abolished. When tifs question is carefully studied it w.ll be found thata great gain in land nnd another in convenience of working the fickle will be easily made. If instead of fences l>ru;td strips of grass are left as divisions, :md to atford space for the turning of the houses and for roads nearly all the hay needed may be thu3 made: these belts being seeded down and manured just as ordinary grass land would have been. One other im,v%portant advantage is the almost total eradication of pe>tifero is weeds, which find abundant seeling places in the common fence rows. A farm recently visited by the writer h!ld 14<> acres cleared and was divided iuto twelve fields, through which seveial open <1 tc hes passed. Un each side of the fottv eighth fence rows ancl the several air< he- there were broad strips of tall weed-;, and some of these by actual measure were twenty feet wide. This is perhaps an un usually flagrant instance, but it shows I ho certain end of neglect in this respect.?New York Times. Safe Feed in; for Coivs, A medium condition between fat and lean is the most desirable in which to | keep cows, whether breeding or milking, j m flwirr o ro aifoi* frAm I an OUlll lk LUUWIIIWU UK j ai V aiuvi A * v 11* attacks of parturial fever not only, but from every other disease, and in such a condition a cow will turn more of her ! food into milk than when fat, or grow- j ing fat, and more than when she is so thin that the deminds of nourishment will stimulate assimilation instead of j producing milk. Iu a herd kept so high i that parturial fever is common, my ad- j vice would be to 1 t the doctors keep their drugs and take off twenty-five per cent of the ration*, and see to it that, constituents of the food given are prop-1 erly balanced in respcct to nourishing ! and heat-producing qualities. Strong! feed like pea meal, cottonseed and lin- j seed meal are too lii-h to be fed very liberally for some weeks previous to parturition, nor is it stfe to indulge mucn in sucn neaung Moa as corn meai. 1 Hay and straw with the waste of flouring millsjand roots are more suitable, and those only in quantities necessary : for support without having the animals gain or lose in condition. It is as im-1 portant to avoid food too poor as that which is too rich. To maintain the highest degree of healih. always a point of great importance in all breeding ani- j mals as well as iu cows, it is not advisa-, ble to indulge much in such food as dead ripe straw, hay which had the j goodness washed out of it by rain while curing, brewers'grn ins or glucose meal and the like, which have had all their soluble mineral constituents soaked out of them by long steeping, or food of any kind in a state of fermentation or which has been fermented. Sound food in moderation with convenient access to good water, with reasonable care, will save from loss of cattle and from doctor's bills.-r-Profct.or L. B. Arnold. J I Apple* For Stock. There is a great diversity of opinion among farmers as to the value of apples for stock, many advising against their use. So good an authority, however, as the Massachusetts Ploughman says the objection to apples as fodder arises in most cases from a foo'ish prejudice. Almost all farm animals are very fond of apples. They like good ripe ones best, but they will take such as they can get and be thankful for them. Farm stock, particularly the cattle and swine, may consume as many of the windfall apples as they like without harm. Green apples could notshow by analysis a very high feeding Talue. Neither do turnips show a high value by analysis, but both are liked by stock, and animals do better fed upon them moderately than if the apples or roots are withheld. In feeding apples to cows not accus\ tomed to eaiing them, it is well to feed them in the stall, if convenient, and to give only a few quarts at once, increasing the quantity as judgment may dictate. A cow that is accustomed to them may safely consume a half bushel of mellow apples per day if she will take so many. Very hard or unripe ones should be given in smaller quantities. A growing hog will eat from three to six quarts per day, and will be benefited by them. If a half bushel of sour apples is thrown to a hog at once, he may get sick of them, or get his teeth sore so he will want no more, just as children sometimes get sick from eating fruit or other good things in excess, but a few given three times a day tends to keep the ap Eetite good. Work horses may also ave a handful of good apples given them occas'onally with their evening meal. Sheep are excellent stock to run ?- in orchards to clean up the wormy fruit as it falls, only the flock should be large enough so tbey will not get surfeited by eating too many. Farm and Garden Notes. It is claimed by some that a small quantity of lime in each hill of potatoes is a sure preventive against scab. Most farmers agree that both the yie'd and quality of potatoes are unfavorably affected when grown upon the same piece of ground several years in succession. It is generally conceded by those who have experimented with different kinds of fertilizers, that unleached wood ashes are among tbe best that can be used for fruit orchards. Grapes hung up in a dark place so that the bunches do not come in contact will keep for weeks, when if they are piled on a dish or in a basket they will soon decay. Some farmers who have tried the experiment, claim that the ravages of cut r worms and wire worms can, in a measure, be prevented, by plowing the land just before the ground freezes in the fall. If you have an old grape vine that yields poorly and has seen its be>t days, cut it entirely off close to the ground, manure heavily and let it throw up two uew leaders, and the following year you will see that it is as good as a young vine. Those who during the late depression in wool simply reduced their flocks by sorting out the feeble and otherwise undesirab'e sheep are now much happier than those who sold oil their flocks because there was no money in wool. There is money in wool and mutton cambined. One of the best preventives against lice in the nests of sitting hens is tobacco refuse, such as the sweepings of cigar factories. By the use of such, with coal oil on the roosts and the frequent dusting of all parts of the poultry house with insect powder there need be no fear of lice. Professor Arthur says that the blight which attacks the apple and quince is the sums as pear blight and that the bacteria which are the probable cause of the disease, may live and multiply iu infusions of corn meal, hay, barnyard manure, green fruits, starch, etc. He j recotumcnds burning all diseased uiauisuia iIULIVS ? v/v*.

An Ohio amateur gooseberry grower ! su'cceeds in growing very fine fruit, both in size and quality, on a cool, clay soil, keeping the plants open in the centre by j pruning. When they start into growth in the spring he immediately disbuds, to j prevent them from becoming too dense, j ?nd thus admits a free circulation of air. | He mulches heavily during the summer.

That is why one bunch, or an animal of a class, is worth more than another. In fat animals this depends partly on how much per cent-of meat will be given per 100 of carcasses, and also on the texture (quality) of the flesh. If he know little of these ho should make a careful study thereof, or else leave the selling to one who does know. Recipcs. To Make Good Tea. ?Three tablespoonfuls of te:i made hot first in a dry teapot before adding the hot water, will give a stronger and better "drawing" than four which are thrown into a cold teapot and immediately deluged with boiling water. Milk Soup.?Four large potatoes, two onions, two ounces of butter, one pint of milk, three tablespoons of tapioca, salt and pepper to taste; boil the vegetables.slowly with two quarts of water several hours, then strain through the colander and add the milk and tapioca; boil slowly and stir constantly for about fifteen minutes, then serve. Potato Pancakes.?Grate eight large pared potatoes, put to them one and a half teacupsful of milk, a beaten egg or two, a lump of butter the size of a walnut, pepper, salt and enough flour to make a batter. Add a heaped tablespoonful of baking powder if only one egg is used. Drop from the spoon and fry in butter or dripping to a rich brown. j Bread-Crumb O.mellt.?One pint of j bread crumbs, a large spoonful of parsIcy rubbed very fine, ha f a tiny onion chopped fine. Beat two eggs light, add a teacupful of milk, a trace of nutmeg and pepper and salt liberally; also a lump of butter the size of a small egg. Mix all together and bake in a slow oven on a buttered pie plate; when light brown turn it out of the plate and serve : at once. ! Corn Biscuit.?Scald two cups of | corn meal in one pint of sweet milk. Then stir together three-quarters of a cup of butter, two cups of sugar and a little salt, and add to it. Then add three eggs well beaten, a little flour and half a cup of hop yeast. Let it rise the second time; then roll out, and let rise the third time. Bake and send to the table hot. This amount makes about twentyfive biscuits. Household Hint*. The grated rind and the juice of an orange add much to the flavor of ginger : cake. Laundry starch makes the best paste for scrap-books, because age does not turn it yellow.

Home Journal. i WORDS OF WISDOM. 1 ! It is by far more important for the f welfare of the future man that he should . find the right school than the right col- ) lege. Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion; what a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate. Knowledge must be made vital in the Virarf. lififorn it r:in blossom into conduct. and the continual passing of right feeling into right action alone can form a worthy character. It does usgood to admire whut is good \ and beautiful; but it does us infinitely more good to love it. We grow like what we admire, but we become one with what we love. The foundation of good labor in any sphere is a good man, and all that is done to give breadth, depth and fullness to him will react in ultimate improvement upon his work. Everything yields before the strong and earnest will. It grows by exercise; it excites confidence in others, while it . takes the lead to itself. Diflicultics before which mere cleverness fails, and leave the irresolute prostate and helpless, vanish before it. They not only do not impede its progress, but it often makes of them stepping stones to a higher and more enduring triumph. Human character needs both doing and thinking to mako it truly noble and valuable. Just as the perfection of the body demands the full exercise of every nno .if itc nnvta crv fl-io norfortinn nf lllfi nature requires the well balanced exercise of every faculty. ]\Iind and body must unite all their powers to form an equipped man or woman. Human happiness is dependent on this two-fold life. Tlio Eider-Puck, The following'passage is from an article on the ".Social Life of Arctic'Biids." published in the Popular Science Monthly: But this quk't only lasts for a lew weeks, * ? r\TtT nAifltr oiiTAKmi'nrf ll Acfo Q W1IUU uv/ioj, otvuiuuag uvowo vvutw to the islands. They are the birds which come up from the sea to the land. It is a deeply poetic trait in the lives of these creatures that only two causes determine them to seek terra firma?the power of love and the approach of death. The sea bird, weather proof, lives on the sea. lie hunts his food by diving, swinging over the billows, and sleeps and dreams with his dead hidden under his wings. But there comes a time when the earlier sunbeams kiss the northern islands; then he Is mightily moved in his 60ul, and hastens to the coast to celebrate there his annual wedding. And, when he feels that death is near, he swims with his feeble limbs back to the place of his birth, there to close his life. It is the same feeling that inspires in aged men that ardent desire to return to their old home to die and be buried there. To the naturalist who goes to the north to study the ways of the birds this trait in their character is of peculiar interest. Of one of the tribes of these colonists of the northern bird mountain I must make particular mention. It is the eiderduck, the producer of down. It belongs to the family of the ducks, and forms, so far as bodily stature is concerned, one of the largest species of the group. The plumage of the male is handsome and brilliant. In it black, red, ashen-grey, icc-gteen, white,brown, and yellow are mingled with splendid effect. His head -and back are snowwhite, his neck rose-red. and the lower part of his body is deep black. The fpmnlft is lp.qs riohlv colored, in a modest - J ^ J garment adorned with gray and black spots and stripes. The eider-duck is a real sea-bird, and is excelled by none of its fellows in diving, while no other bird is more awkward in flying and heipless in walking. On the ground it moves with a toilsome waddle, stumbles and falls flat, and it greatly prefers the fluid element to the solid land. The birds generally iive during the winter in large flocks on the open sea, and feed themselves with shell-fish which they bring up from the bottom. But, as soon us the spring sun begins to shine over the waves, the drake feels newly awakened the old love in his heart for his mate, and he renews his wooing. Beau Britmmcll. His birth was not distinguished, for though his father was a successful placeman, his grandfather had been a confectioner, and had let lodgings in Bond street. He was not rich, for his fortune never amounttd to more than ?30,000, and was soon impaired *by extravagance and play; his literary ability was not more than hundreds of his contemporaries possessed, and did not reach beyond writing indifferent vers de societe. Still he set himself the tnsk of conquering the social world of his day, and this task he accomplished. His biographer is careful to defend him from the charge ut being a dandy; and if a dandy means an extravagant dresser, he is successful in his defonce. Extravagantly dressed means ill dressed; and the age, with all its follies, was not so foolish as to elect an ill dressed man as the dictator of its social convenances. "Brummell," says Captain Jesse, ' determined to be the best dressed man in London;" and after getting rid of the natural weakness which at first beset him, of changing his dress too frequently, he attained his object. This made him the intimate friend of princes, the arbiter elegantiarum whose mere greeting was a passport into the most exclusive society, and had, therefore a value beyoud money. "You owe me ?'500," said a man who sought the entree into the circle of fashion to the beau, when liis career was draw ng to a close. "I have paid you," said iSrummcll. "Paid me!" said the man, "when?" 4'Whenif" answered Brummell. "Why, when I was standing at the window at White's, and said as you passed, "Ah. how do you do, Jemmy?" Wit, of course, is one of the conditions of social success, and Bruinmell had some sort of claim to it. Yet, unless even more than usual of its spirit has evaporated, his wit is barely distinguishable from impudence.?London. Spectator. Bank Burglars. Basis burglary, according to detective "ii*fly" rinkerton, is practically a lost art. The high-class burglars are dead, or in prison, for long terms, or relegated to the "Order of Lost Nerves'' ?criminals who have lost their sand," through pursuit and punishment, while the rising generation seems destitute of 1'? olrill on/1 n Aiiro rrn noo liiu micjuyuu^t, ojvm cssary to this high grade of business. 'The best proof of the fact that bank burglars no longer exercise much influence on the fears of capitalists is to be found in the fact that our agency has been arranging for the employment of its operatives in other fields. So far as the bank burglars are concerned, there is, practically, nothing for us to do, and as ihe race is rapidly becoming extinct, this feature of our business promises to disappear entirely before long." Noses. The most prominent part of a person's face is his nose. The ancients attributed various faculties of the mind to it. They considered the sense of smell inferior to the other properties -^hich they ascribed to the nasal organ. The Romans, by making a play upon nares, the Latin word for nostrils, which sounds very much like another Latin word meaning "to know," said, "We call them nostrils, because through them we know." a witicism which is almost as good in an English form, such as, "By the nose we knows." Phoedrus speaks of the nose as signifying the judgment, or the highest faculty of the mind. Plautus used the words as synonymous with sagacity; Martial, with rage and anger; and Seneca, with wit. The Greeks had one verb meaning "to mock," derived directly from the word "nostrils." and another verb meaning "to deceive." derived from the word "nose;" so that they evidently regarded the nose as indicative of more j than one sense. The Romans connected | the Latin word nasus, or nose, directly with the Greek word nous, or mind. One of their cvery-day idioms, or punning slang expressions, was, "Every man does not have ano3e," that is, every one has not mental ability. Many great men have large noses, as for example, Washington, Cromwell, Napoleon Bonaparte, the duke of Wellington, Cicero, Caesar, John Bull, Brother Jonathan and Mr. Punch! The popular fancy, as well as a so-called science, still associates certain types of nose with mental traits. Thus a convex nose is held to be indicative of courage, and a concave nose of cowardice. Flexibility of the nose is put down as a mark of docility, while inflexibility warns one to expect stubbornness. This assertion certainly proves itself when applied to the elephant and rhinoceros! The nose serves various important offices in connection with the different emotions. To rub it violently suggests the person's perp'exitv or annoyance. To lay the finger on it signifies contempla tion and intense self-questioning. To blow it very hard, while listening to affecting passages in books, or hearing a recital of wrong or distress, indicates emotion and sympathy, because every one knows that the handkerchiefs employed upon the nose will also be furtively used to wipe away the unmanly tear. The nose is one of the most dignified organs we possess; to pull or tweak it is always considered a grave insult, second only to the insult accounted so deadly in Eastern nations; that of pulling the beard.?Youth''8 Companion. k Room of Profitable Waste. Down in the basement of the treasury department, says the Philadelphia Fmm, is a room in which about a dozen girls sit and sort over the waste papor which has accumulated from the work of the day before by the 2,500 clerks in the room above. All of the waste paper of the dcpartmnet is transferred to this room by the sweepers at the close of each day. Then the girls go orer it carefully, piece by piece, and thej frequently make very valuable discoveries. Not long ago $10,000 worth of bonds were found in a waste basket in the office of the comptroller of the currency, and there was a great howl about it at the time, but in the end nobody was punished for the gross carelessness; but such large sums us this seldom find their way into the sorting room. The principal discoveries are pen holders and stationery which have been accidentally dropped into the waste baskets. Sometimes a valuable document disap pears in an unaccountable manner from the files of the department. The rooms are ransacked, and every one connected in the division becomes well nigh crazy. As a last resort the waste paper room is 1 . 1 i . T. . __ .1 1 1 appealed 10. jlu mnecnances out oi ieu, if the paper has brcn disposed of in that way, the girls will find it.

"Sire!" exclaimed a man in the homely garb of a mechanic to Richelieu, the prime minister of France, as he was entering his palace; "Sire, I have made a discovery which "shall make rich and great the nation which "shall develop it Sire, will you give me an "audience?" Richelieu, constantly importuned, finally ordered the "madman" imprisoned. Even in jail ho did not desist from declaring his "delusion," which one day attracted the attention of a British nobleman, who heard De j Cause's story, and developed his discovery of i steam nower! All great discoveries are at first derided. Seven years ago a man yet under middle I ago, enriched by a business which covered j the continent, found himself suddenly stricken down.

Nevertheless, it cured him, and out of gratitude I therefor he concentrated a part of his wealth [ to the spreading of its merits before tiio ! world. Such in brief is the history of War- ; ner's safe cure, which was won, according j to the testimony of eminent persons, the most deserved reputation ever accorded to any known com pound, and which is finally winning on its merits alone the approval of the most conservative practitioners.

Catarrh Cured Statement of a High School Teacher at Jericho, Vt. The following intelligent statement la from Prof. Cllley, a gentleman prominently known In educational circles throughout New England. Read It: "I chcerfully give my experience In the use of Hood's Saraaparilla. I had been troubled with catarrh to some extent for a long time, and had used various medicines as remedies with no good results, when, in the summer of 18811 was so affected by the disease that speech was somewhat difficult, and my voice was entirely unnaturaL I then began to use Hood's Sarsaparllla as a remedy, and with such good effect that In a few weeks speech was easy, the voice natural, and my general health was much Improved. Sometimes a return of the disease Is induced by taking cold, when I resort at once to the use of Hood's Sarsaparllla, which I keep by me constantly, and always find relief. I regard Hood's Sarsaparllla as a valuable remedy for catarrh, and I cannot say too much in Its praise."?J. S. Cillit, Jericho, Vt. Hood's Sarsaparilla Sold by all druKfists; $1; six for $5.
