KOCGn FORAGE.
Bulky foo3, such as straw, corn foe
tier and coarse hay, is not always of vak
solely on account ol the nutrition it cor
tains, but sometimes it ailords a cou
plete changc of diet, and because it di<
tends the ttornach and aids digestior
If a liberal supply of grain is given thei
is no danger in feeding coarse foods t
any kind of stock, and by thus utilizin
the straw and fodder a great saving c
hay may be effected. Coarse food
should especially have a place in th
economical feeding of cattle and shcej

TRY IT.
"We want a large number of our read
ers to try the experiment of sowing win
ter rye in their cornfields just aftor th
last going through with the cultivatoi
and report next spring what they thin
of it. It is no experiment with a num
ber of leading dairymen that we know
They claim that it pays a big profit o
the investment, as it gives fresh pastui
age the latest in the lali and the earlies
in the spring. One party informed u
the other day that during the high pric
of batter in A.pril he got enough out o
his early rye to more than twice pay th
i.-i'-ense of sowing it. Try it, is the ad
vice of Hoard's Dairyman.
DESTROYING CODLUCG MOTHS.
In that large part of this countr
where no apples were grown last yea
no codling moth worms were bred, be
cause there was nothing for them t
breed in. But even here the enemy ma;
have been introduced in apples brough
from other localities, where, of course

spring approaches multitudes of moth
struggling against the windows and try
ing to get out. They arc particular^
numerous just about the time apple tree
begin to blossom, and if any escape, thei
they will make work for future years
It is a good plan to keep cellar window
closed at this season, and by going in
side many moths may be crushed agains
the panes of glass. Worms that hav
not jet changed to moths can be fount
in cocoons glued against the inside o
barrels in which apples have been kept

FOOD FLAVORS BDTTEU.
The old statement that any food whicl
a cow can digest and assimilate will no
effect the flavor of the butter made fron

ner cream, seems to ue sun uu us tuuuua
It is true that the chemist has a grea
deal of trouble on accounting for it, bu
the fact remains that certain kinds o
food do modify th3 flavor of the butter
It not infrequently happens that cow:
eat rank or bitter weeds, either in the
pasture or in the hay, and that a verj
perceptible and unpleasant change i
quickly apparent in the quality of th<
butter. Why the cows should eat thes<
weeds we cannot say, but tho fact that
they sometimes do cat them has beet
often noted. Theu, too, the influenci

butter yielded by cows which these sub
stances are fed, has been so often noticec
and ?0 widely discussed, that it shoulc
have set at rest all questions as to thi
power of the food to modify the quality
of the butter. If, in spite of all the evi
dence from these sources, anyone stil
has doubts upou the subject, let hin
feed his cows a few turnips or onion
every day for a week, and when he come
to test the next lot of butter from hi
cows his belief will forever disappear.?

DESTROYING CUT WORMS.
Professor J. L. Budd, xa the De
Moines lityister, attests the value of fal
plowing in killing the cut-worms. H<
says:: -"We have an object lesson al
this time of much interest and value
We prepared ground last fall for plant
ing our cherry and plum pits by plow
ing w^ll about the lust of September an<
again an November. The preparec
ground was not largs enough for all tin
6eeds, and about half a bushel of th
plum seeds were planted on ground oc
cupied .last summer and fall with a crot
of mangles, rutabagas and cabbage, am
net plowed until spring. On this
ground the plants came up quite at
thickly .as on the fall-plowed ground,
but at this time there arc not 100 plant;
to the row, and these are going from
hour to hour. The soil is so full o
worm6 that no possibility of saving th
plants -exists. On the fall-plowe<
.ground scarccly a plant of the plum o
cherry has been cut off. Instead, afte
careful inspection I only found two plant

e When young chickens are shedding
f their second feathers they should have a
e small quantity of carbolic acid in their 1
- drinking water.
After young turkeys have passed the
period of "shooting the red," which oe- '
curs when they are about ten weeks old,
7 thej can be given a free range.
r Either fall or spring planting may be
* adopted, but for the strawberry spring j 1
0 settiug is surest and safest. Do not let / 1
P a strawberry bed run over two years. 1
New varieties of strawberries are year^
ly introduced, but they should be tried 1
j only to a limited extent, as the varieties 1
suitable to somo sectiofls are worthless in I
others. (
y Catarrh in sheep is caused by exposure
s to dampness and cold fall rains. A reme- j
! dy for it is: inject into the nostrils a so- J
lution of one part carbolic acid to fifty *
s parts warm water.
In setting strawberries put them three c
t and a half by one foot apart. Black E
e raspberries six by three. Blackberries I
i eight by three. Plant only old and tried
f varieties and let novelties go.
Put a large shovelful of manure around j
cach young raspberry plant, and you |
will derive the benefits therefrom next J ?
season. Any attention given youug 1 ,
1 raspberries is always rewarded the follow- j .
t ing year.

manure, put it on a field intended for a |
1 green manurial crop, so as to plow the E
crop under and thereby more intimately t

j Dwarf Lima beans may be planted in ' i
; rows in the same manner as string beans, 1
j and they will need no poles or supports '
B of any kind. Though the beans are smal- | 1

WOKDS OF WISDOM.
What fools other men ar^
The true reward of work well done is
the having done it.
Doing good is the only rertaiuly happy
action of a man's life. !
Every raau is trying to see how much
hccan get for his little.
When a man fights in his mind, he al- !
ways comes out victorious.
Whoso extinguishes in man one feeling
of benevolence partly kills him.
The trouble is that so few men are as
good as they think their nighbors should
be.
The time spent in mourning for the
dead might be used in making the living
happy.
A man's opinion of people is as much
a test of his character as people's opinion
of him.
A man's idea of being good to a woman
is tc give her opportunities to be
good to him.
All men are alike in one particular;
the most humble believe there is a kick
coming to him.
A man will wait ten years to get even;
a woman will forget that you offended
tier in ten miuuies.
Everyman occasionally says: "Spare
no expense; I care nothing for money,"
but none of them ever mean it.
When you sec a man who has the
same opinion he had in early life, it is a
sign that he is a fool, and cannot learn.
As the soil, however rich it may be,
cannot be productive without culture; so
the mind without cultivation can never
produce good fruit.
Look upon the "brigTat side of your
condition; then your discontents will
disperse. Pore not upon your losses, but
recount your mercies.
Don't compare a girl's cheek to the
clown on a pcach if you want to be complimentary.
If there is anything disagreeable
to get on your lips, it is peach

Education in E?c?pt
It is reported that Egypt is making
Trent strides in educational progress, and
that the natives arc not slow to appreciate
the advantages of the reorganized Government
schools. Since Moses went to
chool in Egypt, and the University of
Alexandria wus destroyed by Omar, cdu;ation
has never been at so low an ebb

| HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
CLEAN IRONS.
Clean irons are one of the marks of a
good housekeeper. Irons should he
thoroughly scrubbed in hot suds quite
often, wiped off and put on the hot
stove at once, or they will ru;t. A piece .
of beeswax is good to rub one's irons
with if they become rough, or a little
lard in a thick, soft cloth. Some ironers
like kerosene. Dampen a cloth with
kerosene and rub the iron hard with it.
Kerosene is also good to clean the kitchen
stove and stove-pipes?just a little on
a rag and rub hard. ? Ckicaqo News.
WASHING BLANKETS.
A good housewife vouches for the following
as an excellent way to wash
blankets: Soak the blankets for ten
minutes in lukewarm water before washing;
have ready some soft soap or good
yellow soap sliced thin and boiled to a
iellv in a little water, allowing one
pound to four blankets; wring them out
of the first water, lay them in this and
stir them about for some time, then leave
them another ten minutes to soak. After
the soaking rub each thoroughly in every
part, wring out and shake well; unless
exceptionally dirty they will not require
another washing, but should be
rinsed in 6oft warm water, and dried in
a good wind.?Brooklyn Citizen.
JELL? OF RHUBARB.
To make jelly of rhubarb, wash, but
do not peel, a pound of pink rhubarb,
which cut into pieces an inch long and
stew gently until the juice is drawn,
then add half a pound of loaf sugar and
stew again until tender. Rub the rhubarb
through a sieve, and afterward boil
until it becomes sirup-like. Let this get
cold, when to three gills of it add half
an ounce ot gelatine, scasea ana dissolved
in a gill of water. When oa the
point of setting, put the jelly into a
mold. Serve with custard flavored with
extract of alraouds. This jelly ought to
be a delicate pink color, which, if it is
desired to heighten, a few drops of rosecoloring
may be added.?New Orleans

POACHED EGGS.
To poach eggs take a wide, flat stewpan
and put luto it one quart of water,
one cupful of vinegir, one tablespoonful
of salt; when it comes to aboil, open
your eggs one by one into a cup, drop
them into the boiling water; but not
more than two or three at a time. Take a
spoon,and try to keep each egg in shape,
by pushing the whites toward the yolk.
As soon as the whites are flrm, take out
the eggs carefully with a skimmer.
Place each on a slice of buttored toast.
Now, if you have a tomato sauce at
hand, and pour it around the eggs and
toast, you will have a most delicious
dish to 6erve. But you may also pour
hot milk, in which some butter has been
melted, over the toast, and, of course,
omit the tomato sauce.?Ncx York Tribune.
rTlOPERLY FRIED EGQ3.
Fried eggs are best aud nieoat done in
little egg-moulds, which are made for
the purpose, writes Mrs. Bayard Taylor.
They come in pairs or threes, and so on
up to six and more. I hare a mold of
six, and if I have fewer eggs to fry I fill
the other forms with water. Put a liny
liitle piece of butter in each mould, drop
in the eggs and while cooking loosen the
whites at the edges every few seconds to
prevent the under side from getting too
much done. Sprinkle the eggs with salt

A Carious Ckomic&l Anomaly.
An astonishing result was reached by
Dr. Richardson, the English expert
physiologist, in some experiments on the
icspiration of animals confined in pure
jxygen. In most cases a steady flow of
fresh oxygen rendered the animals conaned
in it excited and feverish, and none
svere quieted or made sleepy. When, |
however, the oxygen, after having been j
passed once through the chambers confining
th2 animals, was collected, purified
and again used, all the warmblooded
animals, such as dogs, cats,
'uinea-pigs, rabbits, etc., became drowsy
xnd fell quietly asleep; and when the
*as was again used after another purifica:ion
the sleep became deeper and some
)f the animals soon died. The oxygen
ippeared chemically pure at each time of
ising, aud the cause of its remarkable
jhan^rc in effect is as yet a mystery.

RECIPES.
Griddle Cakes?Three eggs, one-half
teaspoonful of salt, one pint of sour
miik, one teaspoonful of soda, flour
enough to make a batter.
Deviled Chicken?Take off the wings
and legs of fowl, made incisions in them,
fill these cuts with made mustard, and
season highly with salt, white and
cayenne pepper, gr'il them over a clear
fire; serve very dry on a warm table
napkin.
Rice Cakes?One pound of flour, one
pound of ground nee, three teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, one-half pound
of moist sugar, one-quarter pound of
butter, one-quarter pound of drippings,
one egg, small quantity of grated nutmeg;
mix with milk or with cold water,
and bake in a quick oven. These are
made into little cakcs with the haads.
Plum Salad?Any tart plums, wiped
with a wet cloth, sliced away from the
stone, arranged iu little heaps, each upon
a fresh, crisp lettuce leaf and served
with a tablespoonful of mayonnaise salad
dressing on cach; the tart, fresh flavor
of the plums blends admirably with the
smooth, equal taste of the mayonnaise; |
as a breakfast salad, or wi h broiled j
birds or chicken, nothing of its kind cx- j
eels it.
Icing for Cakes?Beat the whites of
two eggs till they are very dry, then add
gradually ten ouuees of pulverized white
sugar. Dredge flour over the top of the
cake and wipe it off, to make the icing
adhere. Put it over with a broadbladed
knife; it should be put on quite j
thiek. When this coating is dry, dilute
the remainder of the icing oa your dish
with a little rose-water, and put another <
coating over the top, which will have a <
glossy appearance. j k
Frothed E^gs?Separate th* eggs i
carefully without breaking the yolks; <
beat the whites until they are very fine
and stiff. Then arrange them neatly in (
small custarJ cups, making up a place j
in the centre to hold the yolks. Slip
one yolk carefully into the centre of each
cup, stand the cups in a pan of boiliug
water, and cook iu the oven for aboul J
two minutes. Dust them with salt and j
pepper, and put a small piece of butter
oa each one and serve immediately. j .
Veal Croquettes?Chop the veil fine, j
Mix one teaspoonful (or a little more) of
flour with half a cup of sweet milk.
Melt a piece of butter the siza of an egg 1
and stir the other ingredieuts into it.
Let it come to a boil. Mix this thoroughly
with the meat and form into
small flat balls. Place upoa plates, dust
a little pepper and salt over them and
let stand over night. Then beat one egg I
till very light, dip the balU first into
this, then into cracker crumbs, and fry t
till brown in hot lard. j (

Quick Lunch and Sunstroke.
Americans in general are noted for the
habit of fast eating, and New Yorkers in
particular spare but a few minutes foi i
their midday meal. While this practice j
of quick lunches usually ends in some
form of dyspepsia, there is another re* i
suit far more serious. The best mcdical ;
authorities agree that sunstroke is far
more frequent after than before noon,
and there are two good reasons for this.
In the lirst place, the heat is most intense
during the early part of the afternoon;
and, secondly, after a meal the
stomach and other organs of digestion
are very much congested with blood.
The internal organs being congested,
the surface blood vessels are compara- ]
lively empty and the function of perspi- i
ration is considerably interfered with.
Sunstrock is apt to follow any interference 1
with free perspiration, and the process 1
of digestion interferes bv drawing off the 1
blood from the skin to the stomach. I
A light lunch properly masticated and ]
slowly eaten has but little effect in dis- y
turbing the circulation, but a hasty meal, i
bolted and washed down by large
draughts of water or coffee, necessitates
increased exertion on the part of the di- y
gestive apparatus, and a much larger 1
supply of blood is needed to do the j
work. Business men are often heard to <
complain that in the afternoon they have ]
a headache, that they cannot work so l
well, and that the heat seems to affect |
them more. The statement is correct; i
they do feel the heat more, aud the rea- )
son is because of the hurried, half-eaten i
lunch taken at noon. If business men 1
would only learn that this pernicious habit
of rapid eating, espeeially in the middle
of a hot day, exhausts their energi ea j
and makes them liable to sunstroke or j
heat prostration in some form, they
would save themselves money, comfort ,J
and health.?New York Mail and Earprets. '
The New South.
Northern farmers were onco apt to
pity their Southern brethren for their
neglect of good work, diversity of crop9
and other needs of good farming. But
all this has changed materially. There
are some of the tinest, pure-bred herds of
cattle in the South; fodder crops are being
grown; dairying is rapidly developing;
the average product of crops is
doubling and trebling; Southern farmers
are out of debt to a large extent, and

Wheat Growing From a Boy's Head.
A grain of wheat has sprouted in the
forehead of a five-year-old boy.
On May 15, little Thomas Stretch, the
son of miller Reeve A. Stretch, of Lower
Alloway Creek township, was quite
seriously injured by being caught in a
belt at the mill, and would huve been
killed but for the promptness of his
father in stopping the machinery. He
has now almost recovered from the effects ;
of the accident, but a few days ago a
dark 6pot whs noticed over his eye. It
wm carefullv onened with a lance and
was found to be a grain of wheat which
was sprouted.
The grain was probably forced under
the skin when his head struck a bin
while he was being whirled around the
Bhaft.?Philadelphia Prem.
Growth of London.
During many years there has been an
annual addition to the number of houses
in London of about 11,000, or an average
of something like 900 a month. There
has been in a long time little variation in i
the total annual increase. The increase
for the year ending March 1 was 11,097. |
The weather seems to make little difference
with the building trade. The total
i-ttimknr r\f linncnc in ruinrinn nn t.fi? 1 of
of March was 771,413, occupied by a j
population which the latest estimates set
down nt something over 5,800,000.?

The Spanish conquest of Central
America was achieved largely by dogpower.
Balboa, the butcher Davila and
all their successors kept brigades of
trained mastiffs which more than once
bedded a battle by their ferocious cour
age. The best breed came from Aragon,
in old Spain, and the efficiency of that
font-footed militia may be inferred from
a recent episode in the Oklahoma prairies.
The Dalton brothers, after their
robbery of the Santa Fc express, took
refuge in the gullies of the Fox Indian
Reservation and would have escaped but
for the pluck of three Spanish bloodbounds
who followed the track of the
bandits across creeks and sandhills, and
at last forced them to try conclusions
with their pursuers. When the clogs
bad approached within eighty yards, the
brigands opened fire, but the four-footed
bailiffs continued to advance, and, in
their desperately wounded condition,
sept the outlaws at bay till the contest
was decided by the arrival of the
uounted rangers.?New*York Vvice.
