AGRIOULTURE. WILL IT PAY 1o &rAM ? ob3D?-Tak ing the word fodder I its broadest sense, as any kind of food for gramniverous ani mals, we may bay that it will always pay to steam or cook feed for swine, and often for cows in stables contaimng 25 head or more, while for sheep and. horses It will be of doubtful expediency, and usually not advisable under any circumstances. The cooking of feed for fattening swine is Im portaut as a matter of economy, that it will pay, even though done with little re gard to the saving of labor and fuel. On the other hand, to cook the feed for neat cattle with profit, not only should there be animals enough to make it pay,but the ra tions should be so carefully planned, that thti by mingling of- palatable, with less relished and coarse fodder, a saving may he effected in that way. Besidea tue ob ject for which the cattle are kept is an im portant factor to be considered in the feed The flow of milk is increased by steam ing the fodder-the color of the butter Is, however, lvjured. The same ration will prove more fattening, while, at the same thne: there will be little or no waste, if the steaming is well managed. It is best to have the steamed ration composed of a Yaiiety of food, such as corn fodder, roots, hay, or oat straw, with bran and corn meal, or cotton seed, or linseed cake, or meat. The substitution of one kind of fodder or meal for another, gives varioty a'id relish. The coarse fodder is cooked soft, and the flavor of the roots and of the meal pervades th mass, It is not likely that any of the small agricultural dteamers can be made to economically cook the food for as many as 20 or 30 head of cattle. When a boIler of several horse power is employed to do other work, as pumping, thrashing, sawing wood, grinding, cutting hay, and corn fodder, etc., steai may be economically used for cooking fodder. Of this there can be little doubt. The steam box in which the fodder is placed fol cook tg, if it is big enough, need not be tilled ottener than twice a week, and if. as already intimated, every pains is taken in the operation to save in the items of labor and luel, steaming fodder for cattle will be profitable. UnOwINo YoUNg 6TOK.-The mot appr-priate food for all kinds of young stock is'the mother's milk, and so soon as the young things can be induced to cal, other feed, grass, etc., they should be sup plied with giound feed, shelled corn, hay, grass and any other such feed, which being fed with the dani's milk, makes the most satisfactory growth. The milk materially aids digestion, and thus it is thiAt the lar ger quantity of food Is consumed, which, with the milk, niakes the itnest possible growth of flesh, hone and muscle. It was this milk and shelled corn that made the famous big stker In Alissouri out of the scrub calf, and bad that calf been a good high grade still better results would have been obtained with the milk feed and care of that calf. Guod blootd is iiportaut, for the Ihest restults. Never use any other than full-bloot sires shoult be the motto of (every farmer. Then, with good stock,tLc ,1udicious care and treatment from the very tinat wtek of birth will bring satisfactory results in dollars and cents. The young farnier and stock raiser will tind that successful treatment of young animals to secure health, thrift aind vigor Is the art that can hardly be too diligently investigated. The money value of stock, or the prout in raismng stock, depends on knowinir how to dlo it eennmucally. Eco nomy does not consist in Cecap food. b)ut in such as the animal, whatever its kind; will readily assinitlate, an.l will give the best returns in desirable growth, If the food is not right, no excess of quantity will miake up for its deficier~cy in quality. Wa ter is indispensble and shouild be pure; impurtiie and1( stagna~nt water ought n~ot to be tolerated. Th'le first few mnonths of an animal's life are the most important periodI in its existence 1o its owner. 11 it is ne glected and stunted, no subsequent treat ment, can make good the injury done ex cept at a cost that i epiresents no itcomsider able extra sacritlce of tie,care and money. To get early lambs the rams should be plIacet with ewe (luring the month of .No veimber. Where only one rain is used lhe should be taken out of the flock every evening and given a goodl grain feed of say a pmit of oats andi corn miixedi, and put in a dry,comfortablc place by himself for the night andi have another feed of grain before be0 ng put with the ilockL next morning. If two rains arc used they can be put into the flock alternate days, g'ving cachi one a rest every alternate day. Where irt is in convenient to take the ram out of the flock he should be fed arral in a little box in the pasture, thme attendant coaxing himi up to his fetd until lie understands what he is to expect, and then staying with him util lhe hias tinshed his grain, llA wxa andl owls prey upon rat s, mice and other small animals, thereby keeping them in check; while the crow prefers grubs, cutworms and carrion to any kind of food, and while they may occasionally rob a bird's nest or pull up a little cor'n, they do a thousand acts of kindness to the farmer for every one that is injurious. So says the SUN, andl there is a great deal of' trut4~ in t. PEAon trees shouild have a mulch around the base andi undher the branches. In the spring peach tirees should be well cultivated, and during the summer they should be cultivated nearly the same as corn. WVith goodt treatment theO trees will live to dtouble the oge of those neglected. Mineral fertilizers show good results when ajppliedl to them. risTiR is at present, in a fence on the farm of Mr. D~avid Riutt, in West Donegal township, a locust, post that hias the dat'e 1781 cut in it. and( was iio dloubt in'le in tnat yeiir. Mr. Rtutt's father, who was a a very old man, discovered the post, when lie was a smell bay. It is well preserved, coins:dering that it is over a century old. FAuMunsa generally lay out too mutch work for the hieh> they eumploy. Tne best rule is not to attempt the cuiltivationi of large areas, but to make the land produice the largest yields. If one acre of ground can be made to1 prodluce fIfty butshels of wheaut, that is far better than to atppropri ate tuwo or three or lour' acres in the pro duct iou of the samne quantities. t'ot i.Tmny manure is nearly equal to gtin no, ad the value of the quaniitity annually derived fiomn a Eingle fowl Is about fity - ('ents, l ully one-hiilf the cost of the feed. Fivo hens will make astout one barrel of urianuire, andi on farms where large number of poultry aire kept the importance of this fact should not 1he overicloke. Ivery ouuce should be a ived. lo'AToKS, when dtug in an unripe state, may be at times watery and not lit to eat, but if fapread as thinly as possible in a (try, airy place, they will in time become as mealy as if left to ripen on the ground. TOADs are valuable in a garden, but de struictive in an apiaury, as they devour the DOMESTIO. * OixUNInAn embroidery on thin mushn is readily imitated at home by the use of pearl and irridescent beads and vel. vet and plush leaves. The raised ap. pearance of flowers, whether they are in beads or in embroidery i ained by padding. Cotton wool is irst sown very firmly upon the outlined design, and then the beads are threaded in the numbers necessary and laid over the padding, always being placed in one di restion. Generally, in reproducing a flower in beads the center will be a pearl or cluster of smoller beads to rep. resent the raised center of the natural flower. Drawn work is rapidly becom ing inore and more fashionable. It is trying to the eyes but so fascinating that ambitious workers are always elab orating designs in it. It consists of drawing out the threads of fine linen filling in the spaces thus obtained by stitches of every variety. Recently, decoration for towels and napkins has taken this form : The threads are drawn out at regular intervals, and then a design is worked in the interstioe ia colored threads, either in herring-bone, button-hole or chain stitch, or by simply overcasting. The most fascinating ba by blankets are made now in file Sax ougr fiannol, embroidered in raised des igns of flowers and birds. The angels' heads which were so fashionable last year are scarcely seen ; they are re placed by a double bordering of deli. cately tinted blossoms, one end beiug folded over and worked in such a way that it can be placed outside the cover let. The latest style of all adds a mono gram in the center. Gold embroidery can never be satisfactoily carried out upon the material to be decorated. The best and safest way is to work the des ign upon linen or crash and then cut- it out and applique it on the surface upon which it is required. OnEANING CAnPETs.-In all our own experiments we have found nothing so saie and soi'viceable as bran slightly moistened, only very shghtly, just suffi cieunt to hold the particles together, In this case it is not necessary to stop and clean the broom every few minutes. Sweeping the carpet after the bran hfas leen sprinkled over it not only cleus the carpet and gathers all the dirt into the bran, but keeps the broom clean at tne same time, It too much dampened, aside from injuring the carpet, it makes the work harder, because the bran be comes very heavy it very damp. The bran should be sifted evenly 9vor the floor, and then the room swept as usual, The bran scours and cleanses the whole fabric, very little dust is made while sweeping with it, and scarcely any sat ties on furniture, pictures, etc., after the work is accomplished, becauso every particle of dirt, threadt, bits of paper, or lint is gathered up into the mass of bran that is being moved over the floor, and so thoroughly incorporated with it that it will not be easily separated. Uarpets swept in this way retain very little dust ns will be plainly demonstrated when ever they are taken up to be shaken.

There was a lawn Party a6 the Eufnagel mansion. Mrs Hufnael showed Mr. Murphy over the grounds, and asked him what he thought of their arrange ment. "I ain delighted, madam," was the reply. "Wherever I look I see'the footprints of your genius." As Mrs. Hufnagel has a foot almost as big as a wheelbarrow, she supposed there was something personal in the remark., She did not hint exactly that she was not glad to have him stay for supper, but she opened the gate and pointed into the street, and Murpky, who is very sensitive, strolled away.
