Wash tha meat and place it in a largo jar or Crock. Insert half a doien cloves. Lay on top a bay leaf and one large onion, thinly sliced. Pour over the meat enough mild, boiling vinegar to nearly ©over it, and dose the jar with a plate. Should thb vindgar be very sharp, water it, as the taste of vinegar should not be too strong. The boiling of tha vinegar is necessary, the albuminous coating that formed retaining the meat juicea. In two days boil the vinegar again, and again pour it over the meat and r cover, this time turning the beef. In from three to five days it is ready for use, and should be quite tender. Though three days are a long enough time, five are no injury. Remove the meat Iron the jar and wash it free-ot the oRi^is. Then out pickled pork into very-fine sfrfys, a* thick as a lead pencil and about three Inches in length. With a sharp knife make deep incisions thickly over the top of the beef and thrust in the bits of pork. Turn and treat the other side similarly. __Tie into shape with a strong coril. time turn it and add enough boiling water to nearly cover it. Close the kettle tightly. Baste frequently with its own liquora and oook with a good fire three hours and not Vmoihent less; an extra half hour is preferable. The gravy is made by a flour thiok- eningj and a oup or half a cup of sour cream added. ; After having gone through this pro cess once sauer braten will be found to be an easy dish and one that will repay all trouble.

It is often the case that the cream of the milk of e cow due tObalTe ill two or three molHhs Will pot make butler, but foams in the ehftfli and rapidly beecmes vary Boar. The milk wf n toow Undergoes a change about this time, and some cows are so af fected that-the cream will not yield any butter. Every cow should be. dried- off, if the milk doe* net fctofl naturally, two months befote the caff is due. At any rate, good butter can not bo made from the milk so ne«* Calving.' This condition of the milk, of course, is at once evident in a sin gle cow. but doubtless there are cows in hofds in. the same condition, but are not detected; It shows how fiehd- ful it is that a strict watch should be *kept on each of the cows in a herd.— New York Times, BLOW OR PkSt Dfiftfffr.

It is not stopped entirely by cold weather. As the moisture freezes out of the stalks it is found that the woody fibre is increased and' the nutritive value has decreased in like proportion. Every farmer knows that cornstalks after repeated freezing and thawing become of little value for feeding. They are dry, tasteless, aid the stock will not eat them readily, as they do the partly-dried stalk at the begin ning of winter. Much is said about the waste of nutrition by fermentation in the silo. There is such waste, but it is trivial compared with the waste of cornstalks by slow drying. The silo makes the nutrition more available by partly cooking the food.—Boston Cultivator. FEEDING APPLES TO COWS. Ther/ has long been a practical opinion among farmers that ‘ while sw.-ot apples might be fed to cows with satisfactory results, sour apples were very injurious fop them; but this opinion has been founded upon very slight actual knowledge of the real feeding value of apples. At the Vermont station apple pomace, en silaged, and used supplementary to and in part a* a substitute for corn ensilage, was found to be relished by cows, and the results of four tests found it to be about equivalent in feeding value to corn ensilage. At the Massachusetts station Dr. Goessmann found apples to contain about eighty per cent, of moisture, the apples hav ing been gathered October 6th, The farther advanced apples are toward* taaturity the more sugar is found in them, and their value depends largely upon the amount of dry matter which they contain. Laboratory' tests show that the feeding value of apples ia soufe- what higher than that of an equal weight of turnips. Apple pomace it said to bo equal to sugar beets, it be ing a somewhat singular chemical fact that the pomace is rioher in nitrogen- • ous.matter ihantfre a^ple rom which it has been produceo, and the feed ing value of poraac* is assumed to be, pound for pound, one-third high er than that of the whole apple! Slill apples are deficient in nitrogen, and ought on this account to be literally supplemented for dairy 'cows with wheat shorts, bran, oil cakes,- clover and good hay. To obtain the best re- f suits fiom feeding them to cows, the early sort should be fed by itself, sour ones in leas quantity thau sweet oiies, fed when Juily ripe, after the night’s milking. The quantity should not exceed four to six quarts to u feed. --American Agriculturist. COLIC IN HOUSES. Irregular feeding iu ihe matter of hours, long fasts and too great quan titj given at long intervals are fre quent causes of colic, says the New York World, irregular work is not without its influence -a twenty-mile journey once a week is likely to W productive of more mischief than the same distance every day. A horse put to hard work at intervals cannot be kept iu condition. Horses ought to be fed-lgte at night mid early in the •7ioi'iijt>;g; they should have, at least two libers fu consume and digest the -Horning feed before being taken out to work, aud if not returned to the stable when The- 'n^xt - feed is due', should be provided with nose bags. Changes yf food should be intro duced gradually. Horses may b* fed ‘with Impunity on what wiH make them seriously ill if care is not takfn to make the change gradhally. Thus, ween food, when it first comes ia, • * * and fa young and succulent, often causes gripe*, because fed top largely to the exclusion of ’the' accustomed dry material. If a smull quantity is cut with the hay ehnft to begin w ith, tbe horse is less greedy about it when a larger quantity is allowed, and the digestive organs ns gradually become accustomed to the change. Attention to tbe prevention of colic is much bet ter than the possession of n recipe for its cure, for some day the recipe misses fire, aud death wius the match. Apart from this, an attack successfully dealt with still moans loss of service for V>me time—very often at a busy period. EYE AS A PASrUHE CROP. / / j I have believed for twenty-five Tears that fa6st of us, In what is called “the West, ” did not sufficiently appreciate the Yalue of rye as a late fall aud early spring pasture crop, writes E. D. Coburn in the New York Tribune. Where conditions are at all favorable it furnishes an astonishing quantity of rioh, sueeulent. grazing just qt a time of year wjicn it iS[ifiost relished aud/ most needed by all kinds of farm uni- malit RVen including poultry. It pieces out to great advantage othet feed that may Be scant op poor, and while 'especially agreeable to all tha atock, it will make poorly nourished cows practically double their milk ia quantity and quality. In f&et; I har.i never seen a X&hsas farmer so well fitBd Inat a good piece of rye pasturs wasn't i genuine bonanza to bim. There has never been a season in all the central West w;hoii something of that soft WAN more hi a cbnifort to its possessor thafi it will likely be within thfc hesi ilihe months. Hence 1 would say to every farmer who reads thin do not fail to sow* dUiI tow early (in fact jtigi a* SOoii as th*. gtoufld can be put in proper feomlttirtn); 4 goodly area of kyB f6f pasture. Don’t sow it rot Rtaio, but for pastyrage;. make the most of it for graulng 1 , find if eventually^ it alro jrielda some grain worth, hlif'vesting, well and good." If you can’t secure the seed readily, sow ^heat just as you would rye; If'it is not a plump, high gfide article, that Jf 1 **, 15, 't blU a small figure if sound. If of small or shrunken berry I would hot sow less than five pecks to 'the acre; if plump a bushel and a half would be none too mtlch j stall events, USU. plenty, and don’t be afraid of having too many acres. I haven’t discovered anything that was a better regulator for the pigs, the colts, the calves, the cows or the old blind mare •than a good bite of green rye or wheat. It is excellent in years of greatest abundance; in years when other food is scarce or poor, it is simply, indis pensable—really a benefaction, ffow it with a drill or broadcasts as you think best, but do a good job, as if you desired success and meant to de serve it. k V f.‘l FARM AXD GARDEN NOTE?. Market gardners dig! *p the rhu barb roots in the fall amhplacc them .... * .» In the cellar or greenhouse. The shoots arc forced and Are ready to be marketed very early. ■*' A little vaseline and carbolic acid applied to parts of the horse that he cannot touch with tail or head will give him much relief by keeping flies away. Producers who have formerly de pended on ensilage rosy be obliged to at least partially substitute grain to make their winter dairying foff'*M9i imd 1895 profitable. Professor Hilberts, of Cornell, says the great difficulty with farming is too much or too little moisture, and too little cultivation, thus indicating the necessity of drainage. Before storing articles in the cellar take a day for the purpose, use a peck or more of sulphur, if necessary, and fumigate it two or three times, in order to purify the walls, floors, ceilings and bins. A. W. Pope, Wellesley, Mass., says of alfalfa: It goes down further and comes up faster than common clover. The quality of the hay is good, but it is hard to cure. I get three crops the year following the planting. Foals should be taught to eat grain while yet with the mares, and then the weaning process is not so likely to cheek their growth. Feed any spare milk to the weanings until they get well started on regular rations of grain and hay. Dairymen ahould wake up to the fact that it is quite as easy, si a well-man aged creamery, to make good butter in winter as in summer. When they realize Ihis we shall not see so many idle establishments just at the time when they should be running at their tallest capacity. It is not only unprofitable but cruel to let milch cows wander about in grassless fields nndef'h merciless sun. Under such conditions keep them in a small, shady enclosure if you have one, and there feed them their forage and sqe that they have plenty of cool, pure ffater at regular intervals. Select a bull from a good dairy family, and then breed the very best of your oows, feed the resulting young sters well, and train them so that they can bp easily haadled when you are ready to put them in the dairy. ThU feeding and training is a necessary supplement to the Weeding, in ordei to make a perfect dairy animal. Cold weather shuts oft the egg sup ply among poultry kei]>tt* who dc not understand their business, and then they cry that there is no profit in fowls. But the wise man makes his bouses warm and snug, feeds liberally and a good variety of food, compels the fowls to take exercise and reapeth his reward in a bountiful harvest of eggs which sell at good prices. Perhaps you have your, dairy up to a certain standard of excellence, but how are yon to keep it there'.’ Bom< of the cows will soon begin to get old. Then they must go to - the butcher. Better be raising and training somi good heifers, whose breeding you know, to take their places. Do nol wait until yow have to use them, and then buy where it comes handy. Do not be seared out of the poultry business because people speak' of il contemptuously, calling it a “little business.It can be made just ae large as your ability and adaptability will justify.

THAT BAFFI.KS TU* PHYSICIANS. Cents Are Legal Tender. There is one story so utterly ridiculous that it seems incredible that it should ever have been printed, which in one form or another makes the rounds of various newspapers of the country annually. Look for it and you will sooner or later see it crop up again. This tale is always based upon the unpopularity of the one-cent pieces in the extreme West and Southwest. In its most common form it tells of some Eastern traveler who attempt* to dis pose of a hundred or. so one;oent pieces' in Baa Francisco, El Paso or some other place. The tradesman is always represented as looking at them curiously and declining them. The writers of these senseless tales, may have been in the West or they may not. It matters little—their story is pointless. They seek to brand the mythical tradesman as of the same category with themselves. The cent is a legal tender ia amounts of twonty-fi ve and less. If an Eastern man in San Franoisco or any where else owes a debt of twenty-five cents and tenders twenty-five cent pieces in settlement, the courts will sustain him. Of course, the coins are not popular j in the extreme West and South, but ! ao one need carry a hundred of them in a cigar box or anywhere else as .useless metal. If you are in a city that has not a United States Treasury, go to the Postoftice,dnmp in twenty-five c u'h and see if you will have any difficulty in obtaining stamps or postal cards of like amount. If one is re fused a letter of complaint to the postal authorities will soou work the removal of an employe who would dis credit United States money. it is well to bear this matter of the legal tender of a cent in mind. No one for spite can make a person take more than twenty-five of them in any single transaction involving the set tlement of a debt.
