TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Feeding for Strength.
One of the remarkable results in the
experiments made at the Wisconsin station
was shown in the tests of the
strength of bones. Those fed mainly
for the production of lean meat bore a
strain of 1,000 pounds. Others, apparently
the same, made from a feed of coru
meal, broke at 300 pounds. Perhaps
farmers can see from this why it is that
corn alone is not good food for horses
hard at work. It puts on fat, but it does
not wear, because it gives so little for
making muscle. The world-wide prefer
ence ior oais as ioou ior wur&mg uuioss
is not an accident. It is one of the best
Sains for giving strength. Farmers
irned this practically long before science
explained the reason.
Loss of "Wool in Sheep.
Dry feeding and close penning have
the effect of causing congestion of the
skin, and this cati-es the wool to become
loose and be pulled off or rubbed o.T by
the sheep scratching themselves. To
avoid this trouble give the sheep some
sliced turnins or notatoes. with a little
# Bait,and a draiu, for each sheep, ofepsom
sales sprinkled over them. Continue this
for a week. A little oat straw given in
place of clover hay occasionally will be
useful. For .ewes having lambs a mixture
of oats, buckwheat and flaxseed
ground together will be useful for increasing
the milk. A pint daily will be
sufficient. Where early lambs are reared
a supply of carrots, mangels or rutabagas
should be grown for the ewes, as
these encourage the flow of milk more
than any other food.?New York Times.
Salt for Cows.
A commission appointed by the French
Government to inquire into the use of
salt ror domestic animais reported on iuu
matter as follows: I. Salt ought to lie
given to domestic animals to replace the
saline matter washed ou: of their food by
boiling, steaming, etc. 2. Salt counteracts
the ill effects of wet pasture' and
food on sheep, and prevents foot rot. J.
It increases tne flow of saliva, and therefore
hastens fattening. 4. In making
mixtures of chaff, potatoes, beets, bran,
oilcake, ete., salt always ought to be
added. The daily allowance recommended
by the commission was: For a
milch cow or ox, two ounces; for a fattang
stall fed ox, two and a half to four
and a half ounces; for a fatt:ngpig, one
to two ounces; for a lean sheep, one-half
to three-quarters of an ounce; for ahorse,
one ounce.
Bnckins Horses.
One thing I have never been able to
understand and that is the subject of
bucking horses. I have given the question
some study, at:d find that only in (
the Western part of the L'nited States, i
in South America and in Australia do
horses indulge in this most unpleasant j
performance. This would not be strange
If it was confined to horses raised in !
these countries, hut it seems to be in the
climate, as the progeny of Western
ponies, if taken East, never buck, and a
colt of a high-bred Eastern horse if born
on the plains will buck the first time a :
saddle is put on its back, a thing that '
other colts from the same mare born in
the East never do.
Both the Kentucky and Irish horses ;
have a trick of bounding into the air and 1
alighting with stiff legs, which is some- I
times called buck jumping. But this in
no way resembles the true plunging buck :
of the plains. I never saw any one who i
could account for the change of
habit in colts born in the West, but |
every man who has ever had anything to
do with horses in that section of the i
country is perfectly familiar with the j
fact.?Post Dispatch.
Early Potatoes.
Three years' experience convinced a
Farmer and Breeder correspondent that j
his practice brings potatoes ' 'several days
Booner than if planted without manuring
in the hili." Starting, "the iirst appor- ,
tunityin spring," with loose, loamy land, :
'reasonably rich or made so by thor- ;
oughly working in of well-rooted ma- i
nure," he proceeds as follows:
'The soil should be thoroughly fined
before planting. Mark the row-:, run- !
ning the plow reasonably deep. A good
6ingle shovel is the best implement for
marking for early potatoes?have the

on the hill to press the soil on the
seed. The fresh manure will aid materially
in securing the necessary warmth
to indtKe germination, and if, as is sometimes
tlie case after planting early in
spring, we have several days of cold, j
wet weather, there will l>e considerably
less danger of the seed rotting. As soon
after planting as condition of soil per- ;
mit, a thorough harrowing should be ,
given. This tines and levels the surface

prefer to give at least one good

loosen the soil well between the plants
and kill weeds. Cultivate su ficiently

Onions.
Mr. Wm. H. Derby, of Revere, read a
very practical paper before the meeting!
of the Boston Market Gardeners1 Associa- j
tion on December 21. The general rules
for growing crops are varied by different
conditions of soil and climate, and the
speaker confined himself to the methods
of onion growing at Revere, where the
business has been steadily growing and
is fairly profitable. Good seed is a very
imnrtrfanf T/? nrrnnr it- nno nintt
select carefully the best bulbs and place
them iu a dry place to keep with tops
on. Early in spring thry are set out
after cutting off the old tops, if any rein
tin, in rows three feet apart and sixinches
between the bulbs in the rows, i
The crop is carefully cultivated and I
weeded, and in September the seed is
' cut and stored in a dry place until it can
be cleaned. A barrel of onions will produce
about ten pounds of seed in a favorable
year, but sometimes less than half
this amount. The land at Revere is !
mostly strong clay loam, and works best 1
by applying in the fall heavy dressing of
coarse manure, which is ploughed in;
]and thus enriched will admit of working
a week earlier in spring than if not I
thus heated, a very important point with J
onions, which must be planted early, the j
earlier the better. .May 12 being as late as
is considered safe. The rows are 6own
33 inches a] art, with & to 12 seeds to the j
foot or 3| pounds per acre. If celery is
to be grown on the same land, as is
usually done at Revere, each eighth rowis
left blank for the celery. Clean culture
is very important, and for this purpose
the Arlington wheel hoe is used
very often, and several hand weedings
are needed. The best crops are usually
grown on the strongest clay land. The j
crop is housed, after drying in the ,
field with the tops on, and sold as want- i
ed through the fall and winter. This!
crop is subject to blight and smut and is !
infected by green flies or lice. There is i
no remedy of much value, though many 1
have been tried. Formerly the onion j
" rowers used to erow them continuously
on the same land, but recently they have j
adopted the plan of growing them only
one or two years in the same place,
thinking that they thus avoid the dis- !
eases to some extent. When asked what
fertilizers, if any, he used, Mr. Derby !
replied that he relied almost entirely on 1
stable manure, although he had experi- j
mented with many other things in addition,
but had not on the whole received j
return enough to warrant a repetition of |
their use. His average crop was 600 to |
700 bushels per acre on land one-eighth .

Farm and Garden Notes.
Beets are relished by milch cows.
Feed oyster shells and ground bones
to fowls.
Fresh lime scattered around the cellar 1
will help to keep it dry.
Permit no smoking about the barn,
haystacks or strawstacks.
Corn-fodder cut fine, moistened and
sprinkled with cornmeal or bran, iseacen ;
up clean.
Hogs fattened on barley are reported
to make superior meat with a large proportion
of lean.
A dairyman asserts that, on the same |
amount of food, he never saw other j
young cattle do as well as Ilolsteins.
"It should I e the aim of every feeder," j
says Henry Stewart, "to induce his:
stock to eat as much as they can digest." j
According to Col. F. D. Curtis the hog j
is the smartest animal we have among 1
us, and the most like man, especially in j
the stomach.
In making out orders for nursery stock
one is liable to invest too largely in
novelties. Stick pretty closely to tested
and proven varieties.
Scaly legs in fowls, a complaint of the ;
season, should be treated by rubbing i
twice a week with a mixture of lard and '
kerosene, applied warm.
Salt benefits the compost heap by killing
weeds and preventing heating. Re- !
suit of spreading salt "on the heap?i
manure is all fine the next spring.
Common homemade lye soap, well
mixed with corn meal to a stiff dough, !
and given every few day, is now recom- i
mended as a preventive and sure cure of
chicken cholera.
Sheep here do not pay as great profits
as tho*e in England. Everything depends
on the mode of management. Our j
farmers compel sheep to forage, while in |
England they are treated as carefully as
as are cattle.
It has been found in California that a
cold air blast dries fruit in the most perfect
manner. Samples of fruit dried in
this way?prunes, apricots a id applestwo
years ago are still in a perfect state
of preservation.
Secretary Woodward would draw and
spread mauure from the stable, even if
the snow were a foot deep. He believes |
that, spread on corn land in the fall, it !
does fifty per cent, more good than when j
spread the following spring.
Professor Robertson, of Canada, claims
that cream raised by the deep cold
process produces a butter that is
le<s highly flavored when first made,
and is, in fact, often insipid at that time, j
but its flavor increases with age, and i*
at its best when several weeks old.
A practical authority states that the
best way to make a hog-crate, in his i
opinion, is to have the height three- I
fifths nf ihf> Ifnnrth of thfi hoc. and the
width three-fifths the height. This ,
will make a comfortable crate for a
properly trained hog. It is certainly I
worth trying.
Keep cream apart from any strongsmelling
vegetables, as nothing so ;
rapidly ab;orbs odors as milk or cream, j
Never put it into a jar that has had
vinegar, pickles or a.'ids in it, until the j
iar is thoroughly cleansed and aired.
The best plan is to have a jar especially i
for.it, and be very particular that it is j
often thoroughly washed and aired.
When cow-; refuse good hay there is
something wrong. Most probably they 1
have been overfed. The remedy is to
cut the hay with a fodder cutter, the
cost of which will be repaid by the saving
in one year, and wet it and mix bran
with it: about two quarts for each cow,
adding a small handful of salt. Give no
more th in the cow will eat clean, and as
the appetite returns increase the ration.
Formerly it was common in giving
directions for transplanting trees to add
instructions how to stake them, to prevent
blowing over or becoming twisted
by the wind, which was really one of the
worst things that could htfppcn to them, j
and such staking was always essential if
the top was larger th in the roots. But
a better way is to obviate the necessity j
of all staking by taking up sufficient
breadth of roots to hold the tree firmly ,
in position when properly planted Long
and ample roots will hold the trie better i
than any staking. Purchasers of trees j
should "therefore make this requirement j
of the nursery-man.
Fisli Living in Hot Wnler.
There is a pond on the Lay ranch at j
Colconda, which is fed by the waters
from the hot springs. This pond has an '
area of two or three acres, and the tcm- ;
perature of the water is about eighty-five j
degrees, and in some places where the :
hot water bubbles up from the bottom '
the temperature is almost up to the boil- |
ing point. Kccently the disco>cry has
been made that this warm lake is lit- j
erally alive with carp, some of which are
more than a foot long. All efforts to
catch them with a hook and line have
failed, as they will not touch the most j
tempting bait. A lew of them have been
chr>t nml rnntrnrv to thu rreneral sun
position, the flesh was hard and pa lata- 1
blc. How the Hsh got into the la!<e is a |
mystery unsolved. Within t()'.? feet of it
are springs which are boiling hot, and '
the ranchers in the vicinity use the water j
to scald hogs in the butchering season.

A curious acoustic phenomenon, some- .
times observed at sea, has been termed
by jM. Fi/.eau, the "mirage of sound," j
from its analogy to certain well-known
phenomena of light. The sound-waves 1
are deflected upward to a very marked
extent under the influence of strata of
air of various temperatures and to this
effect flre ascribed numerous collisions
between vessels haying powerful fogsignals.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Pie Without Fruit.
When fruit is scarce, a good pie can
be made of one c ip of rich,sweet cream,
sweetened and flavored to suit the taste;
whip to a stiff froth with an egg-beater;
if the cream is cold it will get stiff
quicker. Line a pie plate with crust and
bake; put the cream into it; set in a cold
place until you want to eat it. Small
pieces of red jelly placed on the top improve
its appearance.
Fried Parsley for a Garnish.
This is the cheapest of all garnishes,
but it must be carefully prepared. Wash,
pick and dry the parsley thoroughly.
then put it into a wire basket, and hold
it in boiling fat for two minutes; then
take it out of the basket and dry it well
by placing it before the fire. Beef-dripping
is the best frying medium for this
purpose, and care should be taken to
have it boiling hot when the parsley is
put in.
The Philosophy of Boiling,
It is a mistake to suppose that a piece
of "well-toiled" soup beef has been
heated to 212 degrees throughout. The
heat penetrates so slowly, that a goodsized
piece of beef may remain comparatively
cold inside after staying in boiling
water for an hour or more, and if you
actually measure the temperature, of the
nrtriAf nurfa Knof tho mriTTiPllf. it. Ifl
ta'<en out of the pot and pronounced
"well-done" you will be surprised to
find that it seldom reaches over 170 degrees.
It was therefore cooked at a
temperature considerably below the
boiling point.
A Lecture on Coffee.
It is a well-known fact that a better
and more delic'ons collee is made b_v
pouring the boiling water over the
rrrrmriH r>nffpp thnn hv hoilin.tr thu coffee
CI'""'"* ~ -J 1 o
itself, as unfortunately is yet so often
done. The boiling water that is poured
over the coffee ceases to boil the instant
it leaves the kettle in which it was boiled.
Through evaporation it is already somewhat
cooled on the way to the coffee pot,
and by further contact with other bodies
the temperature is still further lowered
until it is evident that the temperature
in the coffee pot is several degrees below
the boiling point. The coffee is consequently
not made with boiling but with
warm water.
A Suggestion for Easy Cooking.
A writer in the New York Times says:
<lA process in cooking that possesses the
Advantage of considerable saving in labor
and fuel, and, furthermore, makes it
impossible to scorch 01 burn anything, is
as follows: The food is brought to boil
and allowed to boil for a few minutes.

and carefully protected in a heat safe so
as to prevent the heat from escaping.
The food will then be cooked by ils own
heat, or, in other words, the temperature
will for several hours remain high enough
to produce the neees-ary changes in the
victuals under treatment.
The heat safe necessary for the foregoing
process can be easily constructed
by anybody, and at a merely nominal
cost. First get a common packing box
of a suitable size, cover the bottom with
a layer of picked wool or cotton two or
three inches thick, then from a piece of
zinc or sheet iron make a hollow cylinder
? lofn-or f"Kon fKo Irotf.lo HCPfl "nlftPP
a .mn, ) I
the cylinder in the box, and fill the interval
between the cylinder, and the box
with cotton or wool two or three inches
thick. A common pillow will answer
for the lid, and the safe is ready for use.
When the kettle is removed from the fire
care should be taken not to raise the lid,
which should fit as closely as possible,
and when placed in the safe the pillow
must be tucked well down all around.
After remaining in the heat safe for from
two to four hours, according to circumstances,
the food will be done, and you
will be astonished to find what a well
cooked and toothsome dish you have
nrnrtarod TOlfrV BO llfflp trftllhle.
-
Hay or cow hair, being cheaper, can
be substituted for wool or cotton, but do
not retain the heat quite as well,
especially in apparatus of smaller size.
The safe can, of course, be made to contain
several vessels at one time, and
meat, potatoes, beans, etc., can all be
prepared at the same time. Potatoes,
Deans, rice, peas and likes can be placed
in the safe as soon as they boil, but large
pieces of meat should be boiled for about
half an hour so ns to allow the heat to
penetrate them better."
Hints to House Decorations.
A pretty fancy for light curtains is to
drape them with narrow scarves or half
handkerchiefs of their own material.
Maiden-hair and pink roses are the
accepted decorations for the "pink"
dinners ana luncneons now so prevalent.
Rope embroideries and rope fringe? are
stylish and costly for wall decorations, a
bit a yard square or less Ahat wo recently
handled being marked $185.
Maiden-hair fern without any flowers
is a very favorite decoration this winter,
and should always be dipped in water
just before using, so as to glisten in the
light.
A decoration within the reach of almost
any is & jar of grass and ox-eyed dcises,
draped about with a green scarf, and,
though so simple, few more effective ones
can be found.

A Sign in the Moon.
There is, perhaps, no better known
lunar prognostic than that referred to in
the old Scotch ballad of Sir Patrick
Spens:
" O ever alack! my master dear.
I fear a deadly storm.
I saw the new moon late yestreen,
Wi' the auld moon in her arm;
And if ye gang to sea, maister,
I fear will suffer harm."
Chambers, in "The Book of Days,"
says that to see "the old moon in the
arms of the new one " is reckoned a sign
of fine weather?another curious example
of how sayings get twisted; but in that
statement he is quite wrong. The appearance
i$ almost universally held to be a
sign of bad weather. Two explanations
have been offered to account for the
prognostic, in each of which there is undoubtedly
a measure of truth. When the ;
moon appears 41 new " to us, the earth
would appear " full" to the lunar inhabitants,
if there were any; and what causes
the dark part of the young moon
to be dimly visible is its reflection
of the brilliant earth-shine. The
earth, however, will not always
shine with equal brilliance, even
when the same amount of surface is illuminated,
for obviously clouds reflect
more light than either land or sea.
Hence, when an unusual- illumination of
the night-side of the moon is apparent
it shows that the earth-shine is exceptionally
strong, which in turn is an indication
of the presence of a large amount
of cloud in our atmosphere. Further,
as a moment's consideration will prove,
the cloud era must lie to the west of us, I
flio ^irnntinn frnm tx/Tnoh WP r*?pmv? I
mosiof our storms; go that the apparition j
of the old moon in the arms of the new,
virtually means th it there are va9tc'oudbanks
over the North Atlantic ocean j
which, in all probability, are drifting j
up to us, and will, before long, bring !
us "dirty" weather. I am not dis- j
posed to go so far as Mr. John j
Aitken, who, in a paper recently read
before the royal society of Edinburgh,
suggested the use of the moon's dark
limb as an " outlying signal station," but
it is satisfactory to know that this venerable
prognostic has a sound physical
basis, and is as worthy of respect as ever
it was.?Longman's Maqazine.
Lincoln Never Read a Novel.

Mr. Carpenter. "Bulwer," was the re- j
ply. "Ah!" he rejoined. "Well, I

know he was a play writer also. It may |

NEURALGIA.
Nerves.?Everyone of the thread-like nerves
has each a latent power to cause excruciat- J
ing pain, the linut of which is simply the j
limit of human endurance, and Neuralgia 1
has a few of these fibrous torments all pulsing
painfully at once.
CH A RACTERISTICS.
Subtile Pain.?Nothing is so subtile in ita
approach; nothing so flagrantj acute and
distressing, and certainly nothing yet discovered
so completely subdues its ravages
and so permanently conquers its pangs as
that above mentioned.
SYMPTOMS.
Symptoms.?Neuralgia is defined to be a
nerve disease, the chief symptom of which
is an acute pain, intermitting, which follows
the course of the nerve branch affected.
TREATMENT.
Treatment.?Apply St. Jacobs Oil frequently,
gentlv rubbing the afflicted parts; apply
to the whole extant of the nerve soreness;
keep up a gentle friction until a burning
sensation is produced.
