Tun 1murNGV VArLM O4 *VoD..-The feeding of animals with foodsoontainlng the proper proportions of subetanoes necessary to promote growth or fat is A very impoftaut branch of knowledge, and those who fully understand how to prooure the largest supply of availablo matter from the several kinds of feed. allowed to stook will derive more satis factory results than those who feed as a routinewithout having any special pur poae to aebomplish by so doing. Al. though animals are not confined to any particular diet exclusively, u 'aere they can be allowed a variety, yet all that can be obtained from the feed, whether it be concentrated or bulky, is classed under the heads of protein, carbo-by drates; fat and ash. Protein is that sub stance which is principally found in lean meat, the white of eggs and in the blood, being nitrogenous, while the carbo-hydrates include starch, woody fibre, sugar, eto., and derive the name from the fact that they are composed (no matter in what form we possess them) of carbon, hydrogen and ox3 gen, Fat exibts in plants, also, but in small quantities. Ash relates to the mineral substances which supply the bones and tissues. As the matter which i; appropriated by the auinal is composed of these four substances-protein, carbo-h) drates,fat and ash-it is at once apparent that, in order to ieed to the best advantage, some consideratiou must be given the character of the food allowed, and, in stead of feeding indiscriminately, cer tan quantities and propoi tions must be used. MAny yaluabie experiments have been made ior the purpose of testing grains and todder, in order to estimate their value ior iceding,and we aze grad.

The difiL-ronce between the nutri tious matter of hay and mangolds at once enatblts the stock-breeder to dis card tio umigolds altogether or use a less quantity (f 1u1y aal n upply tho (*e hozone y wita nangoiue. An- number of substances can be ueed,proyited they are led proportionately to value, the object being to neitier have an excess nor deficit of any substance that enters into the compostion ot tae body. What in given inl the shape of bulky material, iuch as lay and straw, can be also lound in grainl, which possess nu trnont in a tuore concentiated form. Usmiig wheat straw as compared with corn, the straw contains about three pounds of protoin to the 100 pounds, C whilo corn contains over ten. it is no cebsuiry. therciore, to lessen the supply of straw anat autt corin to complete the prt porLiO of 1,Ioteim; atnd as the strtaw contmis about 40 por caut. of crude fibre, which is almost useless, while corn contain, leas thtWan 2 per cent. the waste in the systemi in much less from the corn. Tho siraw, though containing t less fat, contains a larger amionnt of ash, and there is no kind of materi.d used that is dIeiie.nt in one direction but what is oveiabundant in other re specte, iBy directing attention to the study of .food ciplositioni thei e is another object to implress on the stock breeder, wvhich i s that by feeding a variety of food the anmmal will grow faster, fatten more readily and keep in a healthier condi thiu than byu usinzg a single article of1 dtiet. A: though it it not every farmer who makes it a duty to feed for nutri tive value ciuly, yet they know by expe rience that el taina foods give certain re subts; but the fltid is still open for more I krowlkdbe ini that direction, and every farner should avatil himself r~f the p~rivi legeof ob taijzing it.

DOMMTI, Ifousamorm Anm.-If you have win. dow ourtains, hang them on a simple and obvious pole. It need not be very thick, and is better formed of wood than of metal, for then the rings to which the curtains are attached pass almost noisolessly. The ends of the pole may be of metal, but 1 prefer a simple ball of wood. The pole may be grooved and little enrichments may be introduced into these grooves, provid ing the carving does not come to the surface arid thus touch the rings, which by their motion would injure it. What aver Is used in the way of enrichment should be of a simple character for the lieight at which the curtain pole Is placed would render very line .work altogeth Dr ineffective.
