How to Produce Beef !n the Cheapest
Manner.
Carefully conducted experiments for
several years past have enabled cattle
leeders to prove that beef of good qual
ity can be most cheaply produced by
giving their animals, from birth up to
slaughter, all such suitable food as
they will daily eat and digest well.
Steers of the most improved breeds
may be made by this method, as a gen
eral rule, to weigh from 1,000 to 1,500
pounds at eighteen to twenty months
of age, and extra choice at the same
age exceed these weights by several
hundred pounds. In pushing animals
up to, or near maturity in this rapid
manner, in order to obtain the best
quality of flesh, they must have suffi
cient exercise in the open air, and be
exposed to the healthful Influence ol
sunshine as muoh as possible. There
is nothing equal to good old grass pas
ture to obtain all this, and the longer
the steers can be kept out upon it the
more advantageous It will be to them.
Many feeders provide cornfields for
their steers to run in during winter,
contending that they are nearly an
equivalent to the grass pastures of
summer. If a strip of lorest, with a
soil sufficiently porous to absorb the
rain as fast as it falls is near by for
the cattle to shelter themselves at
night and in stormy weather, they
will do better often than in yards or
stables. The fallen leaves of lorest
trees make one of the warmest and
best of beds, and cattle enjoying the
benefits of these come out in the spring
like the deer, elk and other wild ani
mals, in excellent health, well-fleshed
thrifty aud with the finest and smooth
est of coats. I have never seen do
mestic animals in the Western States
show superior condition in the spring
to those which were thus wintered.
Their beef, also, when slaughtered,
proveg, alter all this exposure and ex
ercise, nicer and more evenly marbled
with a grater percentage of tender,
juicy ,'ean, which alone is what the
consumer wants, and not gross fat
which often abounds to an excess in
the stall-fed, unexercised, sun-shaded
animal. That fattened in the open air
is not only the juiciest and highest fla
vored, but, pound for pound, it proves
the most nourishing and consequently
the most economical both for the pro
ducer and consumer. The production
thus gives high satisfaction aud be
comes a pleasure to all concerned.
This pushing for early maturity is
undoubtedly best where the soil is
rich and grass and grain consequently
abundant. But on poor lands, and
especially when stony and hilly, later
maturity is found about as profitable,
and if the cattle are of a right sort the
flesh gets a better chance to fully
ripen, and upon the whole is perhaps
of a superior quality. On such lauds
cattle graze freely in summer, and are
fed hay and corn-stalks in winter.
Thus trested they attain a full growth
of frame at no great cost at four to five
years old. Early in summer they are
then taken to rich pastures, where
they fatten rapidly, and In the course
of a few months become choice beef.
In this way, and also by subsequent
stall-feeding for an additional time,
greater gain of flesh per day during
the fattening process has been obtain
ed after the above ages than I have as
yet met reported for the first and sec
ond years of such as were rapidly
pushed from birth. The utmost gain
of those found at the late Fat Stock
Show in Chicago was 1,47 to 220
pounds per day lor bullocks from 618
to 952 days old. while that of those past
four or five years old, spoken of above
during the time fed for slaughter, 1
am informed, has olten reached two
and one fourth to three pounds, and
even more, per day. This method ol
feeding is followed somewhat in the
Eastern States, but more largely on
pasture alone generally OH the vast
plains of the West. It is pursued also
moderately in the United Kingdom,
where cattle are kept till four to five
years old In the mountainous districts
of Ireland, Scotland, England and
Wales.
Gustave Dore at Work,
Not far away in the Rue B<yard,
day and night, works Gustave Dore,
now painting, now rapidly sketching
in his great sketch-books the designs
which are to electrify the world. He
is a little man, with dense black hair
and ruddy complexion, with healthy
chest and sinewy arms, with a con
fiding friendly manner which at once
wins every one to him. His jet black
mustache shades clear-cut and firm
lips, indexes to a character which has
alwaysheld him above the level ol the
grosser Parisian temptations. His
whole heart and soul are in bis work.
He has had lights especially prepared
in his great rambling studo, so that he
may paint when he desires; and at
the very moment his admirers are
swallowing their nigbt-cap cup of cof
fee, and stupidly gazing at the proces
sion of painted beauties along the Bou
levard des Italiens, he is sketching
vigorously, or pacing up and down
in the studio, overmastered by some
new conception which he dare not jet
confide to paper. Dore has a horror
of the French passion for holidays,
and once told a friend that his severest
trial was on New Year's Day. ''lt is
not the money for the presents," he
said, "but the time spent in this inane
round of calls which I give grudging
ly." When once you have passed the
Cerberus who guards the gate ot
Dore's paradise, you will thenceforth
have free entrance. But the aforesaid
Cerberus is of a decidedly suspicion
character and hostile turn of mind,
and to the many Dore is inaccessible
p.s was the milliner Worth on one of
his "thought days," when he was de
vising costumes for the court ladies ol
the Second Empire.

AGRICULTURE.
THK SIMPLEST FARM BOOKKEEPING.
-•For an ordinary farm writes a cor
respondent, I would have but one book,
and that one ruled after the form of
the merchant's cash book, and keep it
very much tn the same manner, . .,
on the left hand page I would enter
all the debits, and on the right hand
page all the credits. From these two
pages a balance could be obtained at
any time 1 desired to know how the
account was running.
The first account 1 would open would
be the farm. On the left hand page I
would enter the present cash valuat cn
of my farm Implements, and all new
ones bought and repairs made. On
the right hand psge 1 would enter the
amount received for any implements
sold or returned, etc. Next I would
have a name or number for each field
on my farm and give it the same space
in my book. On tbe left enter what 1
consider fair price for labor done, cost
of all fertilizers put on that field, and
all seed put on same. On the right
hand page the cash value of all that
the field produced. The balance at the
end of the year would show me the
prcfit or loss on that field. And from
the amount of this losr, or gain 1 would
know what next to do with It. With
out this knowledge how could I intel
ligently cultivate this field in the
future 1 1 might have au opinion as
to what profit 1 had, but such opinion
would be far too unreliable to base any
future operations OH. in like iuaunei
1 would treat every field on my farm ;
my sheep, holding separate accounts
with difiereut breeds, if 1 had such;
with my dairy cattle, my stock calile,
my working cattle, my horses and
horse teams, my hogs, my poultry, etc.
Each., of these accounts will show its
gains or losses from which 1 can de
cide the future management. At the
end of the year 1 would he placed ou
the right hand or Or. side of the larin
account a fair valuation of my iarui
and all farm implements, balance up
all my field and cattle accounts, carry
the balances to my farm account,
which would then show me whether 1
was worth less or more than at the
commencement of the year, and just
where the loss was sustained or profit
made; i. e., which field or department
of my taiin had been the most profit
able to me, and which the least. The
farmer needs not to have scales to as
certain actual weights. Ills estimates
are good enough, ouly be sure and es
timate against yourself, aud then the
rtsult will happily disappoint you, h
at all.
As TO MILE. —A "milk roue" is not
so valuable a possession as it used to be,
owing to various causes. We have
known of a milk route in Lowell being
sold as high as S3OOO, aud the purchase
consisted mainly of "good will," the
material property bought being actu
ally worth less than one-s.xth of the
whole amount. But now-i-days man
ulactured milk has so cheapened the
value of a route for a genuine milk
seller, that he cau afford to pay but
little for the good will of customers
who may at any time be induced to
leave him lor a cut down in price. A
milk seller may set up a business in
volving the sale ol 300 quarts of milk a
day, by iuvesting from S3OO to SSOO be
siues the bonus he has to pay lor his
route, which might perhaps,be as much
more. But a milk producer must iu
vest from SIO,OOO to $15,0c0, or perhaps
even more, to enable him to produce
300 quarts ol milk a day, and it requires
a good deal ol knowledge and experi
ence to keep the business running suc
cessfully, The milkman eouipiains ol
the long hours rt quired to market his
milk; but a farmer is an adjoining
town who has had experience both in
producing and marketing milk, says
he can distribute 40 cans of milk inm
a farm within three miles of the Low
ell postcffice, as quickly as he cau draw
that amount of milk from the cows'
udders. We have as yet seen nothing
on this subject whiun shows any hin
drance in tne way of co-opeiatiou am
ong farmers in marketing their milk,
which would give them all the profit
there is. Until that has beeu tried and
tailed, farmers cannot fairly complain
of the middle-men. But the first es
sential to its success, is the stamping
•ut of ail the adulurated and extended
milk, by efficient prosecution of the
dealers in this article. Then honest
milk will come to iu own, and the
honest producer can tf make in honest
l.Ving.
THF oxalis is a very useful winter
house plant, being especially desirable
for hanging baskets, both leaves and
blossoms being on long, slender, droop
ing stems. The bulbs are small, easily
grown, and produce an abundance ol
flowers. The leaves in form are not un
like clover leaves. Three to Ave bulbs
are required in a pot, and the soil should
be sandy. The blossoms are pink and
yellow, and there is also a variety called
verlcoior, which is white with a yellow
eye, the petals being crimson on the
out-side.
THE experience of the best turkey

sufficient during this season of theyear
the birds soon look for it then and
come home regularly at feeding time,
and always roost near the bam out

THE following hints concerning the
use cf tea may prove useful: 1. Who
soever uses tea should do so in great
moderation. 2. It should form a part
of the meal, but never be taken before
eating, between meals, or on an empty
stomach, as is too frequently done. 3.
The best time to take tea is alter a
hearty meal. 4, Those who sutler
with weak nervtTs never take it at all.
5. Those who are troubled with in
ability to sleep at nights should not use
tea, or if they do, take It In the morn
ing. 6. Brain-workers should never
goad on tin lr brains to overwork on
the stimulus of tea. 7. Children and
the young should nevor use tea. 8.
The overworked and underfed should
never use tea. 1). Tea should never
be drunk very strong. 10. It is
better with considerable milk aud su
gar. 11. Its use should at once be
abandoned when harm comes from it.
12. Multitudes of diseases come from
the excessive use of tea, ami lor this
reason those who cannot use it with
out going to "xcess should not use It
at all.

EXCEPT a Turkish bath, nothing is
moreefficaolous in sort throat of chil
dren or adults than a wet compress to
the throat. Double a towel two or
three times, so as to make a pad that
will tit snugly under the chin and
over the throat, and let it extend
around from ear to ear. Then bind a
thickly-folded towel over the wet pad,
having the towel wide enough to
overlap the edges of the pad. It is best
to pass this outer covering over the
head, and not around the neck after
the style of a cravat, the object being
to exclude the air so as to keep up a
perspiration over the diseased parts.
But if the soreness is lew down on the
throat, the outside towel may be pass
ed around the neck; yet, when this
is done, it Is much more difficult to ex
clude the air. The wet compress may
be put on cold or warm; but, when
cold. It soon becomes warm from the
heat of the skin, and Is really a warm
vapor bath. When the pad is taken
off, the throat should be washed In
cold water to close the pores, aud then
well dried with a towel. Tuls is ap
