AGRICULTURAL. PRESERVING FODDER. —Recent careful investigations have proved that a mere drying of our common fodder crops, as grass, clover and oilier leguminous plants, does not affect their digestibility; the green fodder and dry fodder, or hay,representing in each case the entire vegetable substance from the same plant in the same stage of growth, have shown when fed a correspond ing rate of assimilation of their substance. Whenever, therefore, the production of dry fodder (nay) can be carried on in a short time, and in a satisfactory manner, tue largest amount of dry fodder of the highest attainable feeding value may be secured fron that plant, and no other current mode of preserving fodder can equal it as far as quantity is concerned. Although admitting tlie fact that the siio system of keeping fodder is. iu a high de gree, liable to cause a waste ot much v. 1 uable nutritive constituents, iu consequence of an inherent serious feature—fermenta tion - it cannot be denied that its applica linn for the preservation of green corn fodder has also some special strong points and redeeming features in its . avor, name ly: The Indian corn is one of our most leliable crops. The oorn crop furnishes a large amount of vegetable matter (20 to 25 tons per acre, with from 16 to 24 per cent, of dry matter, or from five to six tons of stover, containing 76 per cent, of dry mat ter). It presents peculiar difficulties to cure well iu the field; and the corn ensilage is highly relished by ail kinds of stock and without any loss by refuse u atter con sumed by catt'e. When we consider in additiouto these exceptional advautages wkich the introduction oi the silos into our home farm management promises to secure for us-that the discussion of the feeding value of the corn e silage cannot other wise but direct the attention of the eutire farmiug community towards a careful iu vestigation of the wnoie fodder question, it becomes most desirable that the financial siue of the ensilage production shoald re ceive the most caiefui practical invest iga tion on the part of the larmer. WUNG CHICKENS AND INSECTS. — The practice of exciudiug chickens from the garden, especially IU mid-summer, is bad both for the chickens aud for the vegeta bles. The youug chickens will not thrive in confinement, as in freedom, and the growing plants are in a good measure pro tected from insects by the chickens. We have never succeeded better with youug broods than by putting them, with the mother in the vegetable garden. The mother is kept confined in a coop, aud the chickens have free access to her. through the sluts, bhe follows her instincts in scratching over the ground uuder the coop for worms and grubs and after a few days the coop is pushed along to ntw soiL The chickens are regularly fed with scalded meal* or scie. mugs; they supply themselves with animal food from the garden. The chickens are too small to do auy harm to plauts that are well started, aud yet pick up au immense number of insects. The more highly a garden is manured the more rapidly ao insects multiply and the greater is the need of birds and fowls to keep them m check. The chickens can go beneatn cucumbers, squashes, Leans, tomatoes, etc. and pick the eggs and worms from the under side of the leaves, where they are generally ioumL They eagerly chase every moth and bug that hies; if one alights within striking distance it is sure to be de voured. When the chickens are large enough to do injury to the plauts they are easily removed to other quarters. MEN talk of 20,000 and 50,000 acres ot land without any realization of the extent of such an acreage. I visited the other day a ranch of 20,U00 acres. I intended to make a thorough survey of it-thai is, to ride round it and ride across it. 1 made my survey, but when 1 learned that the fence which enclosed it was over seventy miles iu length I concluded that I would inspect it by sections, i aid considerable riding in two days, nevertheless, but 1 diden't ride around it. Un the ranch there were 1600 acres all under the plough, one bit of land nearly as level as a floor, a paralellogram in shape, and the furrow the plow cut in traversing from one end to the other was three miles in a straight line. It is only after one hbs visited such an estate and devoted days in riding over it that he realizes what are 20,000 acrws. CHOOSING A. COW. —The crumply born is a good indication; a full eye another. Her head should be smali and short. A void the Roman nose; this indicates thiu milk, and but little of it. See that she is dished in the face, sunk between the e>es. Notice that she is what stock men call a handler-soft skin and loose like the skin of a bag. l)eep from the loin to the udder, and a very small tail. A cow with these marks never fails to be a good milker. There is more difference in cows than is usually supposed, aud but few really good cows are offered in our markets. If a farm er has a '\No. 1 article," he wont sell her unless obliged to do so. THERE are as many as 4,000 known species of grasses distributed over the world, and there is not a Boil to which some of them is not indigenous Some grow best on dry, sterile soils, others on rich land, some thriving best in marches, and wet places, and some on the sea coast. Those that are best suited for permanent pasture thrive in luxuriance under cultiva tion. and are somewnat limited in number compared with the entire species. FEEDING BY SOILING. —It is doing fairly to feed one cow on two acres by means of soiling. A common cow may be expected to produce 150 pounds of butter iu a year; a good cow may yield 250 pouuds. The product is increased 2o to 50 per cent, by soiling and high feeding, because it is made more regular aud the milk is more abundant and richer. The best feed for •milk and butter is coarse middlings and corn-meal. CLOVER HAY FOB HORSES. —CIover hay is always dusty; the leaves break up into light fragments, and the dust is breathed by the horse and injures the lungs. Be sides, the clover has an unfavorable effect upon the digestion of a horse, so that ripe timothy is preferred by horsemen. Tim othy cut before it is ripe is dusty from the pollen of the blossom, and the dust is in jurious. NEVER feed decayed roots of any kind to cows giviug milk. One decayed turnip fed to a cow would effect the milk ot fifty cows if mixed together. THE roots of the grasses in good pasture will weigh from five to ten tons. The construction of a ship canal connect ing Lake Erie and the Ohio river is being seriously entertained. Two possible rouies are described by Major John M. Wilson, United States engineer, the first way of the Erie and Wabash Canal to the navigable waters of the W abasn river, which would then make the connection through to the Ohio; the second by the Miami and Erie Canal, which joins the Wabash and Erie Canal, 10$ miles south of ifefiance, thus connecting Toledo and the lake with the Ohio river. The cost of either route is es timated at more than $25,000,000. DOMESTIC. WHOOPING COUGH. —Whooping cough, called Pertussis by physiciaus, is said to be owing to the presence ot bacteria under the root of the tongue. The cough is so urgent that the breath becomes exhausted, and, in the effort to draw iu the needed air, the top of the windpipe seems to nearly close, causing the whooping sound. The old plan was to let the disease ruu its course, beiug careful that the symptoms were not aggravated by cold. Certain med icines seeui to act favorably in some cases, and in others to have no noticeable effect. The following have been recommended; The fluid extract of hyoscyaiuu.% from one to four drops, depending on the age of the patient. A blister to back ot neck. Fric lions to the spine twice a day, with onion juice. Beat a fresh egg in a piut of vin egar and add half a pound of loaf sugar ; take two tablespoon! uls every four hours. The best treatment for the cure of whoop ing cough that has yet been discovered undoubtedly is to expose the pa ients to the vapors arising from the purifying boxes iu gas works. But it is not always convenient for the patient to visit these places ; and it has been found to answer just as well to procure some of the liquid hydro carbon mat is always found at the bottom of the purifying boxes, and vaporize this iu a metal dish in the closed room of the little patient. It almost always affords imme diate relief, and the whooping will not re turn for hours. This liquid can be obtained at any gas works at little or no cost, and no expenses need be incurred tor vaporiz ers. A tablespoouful or more may be evaporated at a time, and repeated once a day or A large iron spoon makes a good evaporating dish. It may be held over the flame of a lamp, or a coal shovel may be heated and the liquid poured into it and allowed to evaporate in the lo.mi of the patieu'. This treatment would prob ably be bcuefici&l in the throat and lung troubles, it is safe convenient aud inex pensive. How TO DETECT ADULTERATED COUPEE - Ground coffee affords a a field for adultera tion, and for this purp. se chicory, carrots, caramel, date seeds, etc., are the substan ces most commonly used. Take a little of the coffee and press it between the fingers, or give it a squeeze in the paper in which it is brought; if genuine it will not form a coheient mass, as coffee grains are Lard aud do not readily adhere to each other ; but if the giaitis stick to each other; and form a sort of ' cake," we may be pretty sure of adulU ration in the slmpe of chicory, for the eraius of chicory are s< fer and more open, and adhere without d.ftlculty when squeezed. Again, if we place a few grains in a sauc r and im isteu ihem with a little cold water, chicory will ve y quickly be come soft like breadcrumbs, while coffee will take a long time to sol ten. A third test; take a wine-glass or a tumblerful of water aud gently drop a pinch of ground coffee on the surface ot" the water without ftirring or agitating; genuine coffee will tloat for some time, while chicory or any oiher soft root will soon siuk, ami chicory or caramel will cause a yellowish ( r brown ish color to diffuse rapidly through the water, while pure coffee will give no sen sible tint under such circumstaues for a considerable length of time. "Coffee mixtures" or "coffee improvers ' should be avoided. They seldom consist of anything hut chicory and caramel. SAVE TIIK OI.D PAPER — Never throw away old paper, if you have no wish to sell it, use it in the house. Some house keepers prefer it to cloth for cleaning many articles of furniture. For an instance, a voluinn, written by a lady who prided herself on her experience and tact says, "After a stove had been blackened, it can be kept looking very well for a long time by rubbing it with paper every morning Rubbing with pap°r is a much nicer way of keeping the out side of a tea-ketile. coffee pot and tea-pot bright and e'ean than the old way of washing them in SUMS Rubbing with paper is also the best way of polishing kuives, tinware and spoons; they shine like silver. For pol siting mirrors, win. dows. lamps, etc., paper is better than dry cloth. Preserves and pickles keep much better if brown paper instead of cloth, it tied over the jar. Canned fiu t is not so apt to mold it a piece of writing paper, cut to tit the can, is laid direcily on the fruit. Paper is much better to put under a carpet than straw. It is warmer, thinner, and makes less noise w hen one walks over it. SALAD DRESSING. — Pound smooth the yolks o: two btr 1 boiled eggs; mix with one teaspi-ouful of uunia le mustard, one salt-spoon ot salt; t ix gradually with these, eiiher one cup of creeut, or same quantity of olive oil; one of vinegar. Add a little cayenne peppt r. LAY the eergs In a warm basin or sauce pan and cover with boiling water. Let them remain without boiling , but where the water will keep h< t for ten minutes, Both yolk and white will be cooked soft without the least suspicion of toughness as from boiling. KEEP the SWILL tub far away from the house. It is a tiltby object and attracts flies, Screens at doors and windows and soap-suds in a tumbler, with a piece ot bread smeared with molasses for a are the best remedies for flies yet discov ered. POTATOES A LA CREME. — Mash tbin, whip up with a fork, at first with butter, salt and milk; at last with the frothed white oi an egg; heap roughly upon a dish and set upon the upper grating of the oven until they begin to color; then Serve. .AFTER buttering your cake tins scatter a liftle flour over them aud the cake is ab solutely certain not to stick to the tin. If your oven is likely to bake bard at the bottom put a paper in the bottom of the tin. Butter it well first. MUSTARD THAT WILL KEEP. —Take four ounces of best mustard, one ounce cf salt; mix thoroughly, and into it stir six onnctS' of water that Las been boi'ed and allowed to cool; mix well and keep in small jars weil covered. As soon as ink is sp : lled, sprinkle on common fine salt until the spot is cove e t. Let it remain half an hour, and then brush the salt up with a clean brush, and then wash the spot with clear warm water two or three ttmes. A lump of bread about Jhe size of a bil hard ball, tied up in a linen bag and placed in a pot where greeus are boiling, will ab sorb the gasts which oftentimes send such an unpleasant odor to the regions above. BLACKBERRY JAM.— To each pound of fruit add three-fourths of a pound of saear; then put together and boil for one-half or three-fourths of an hour. WHEN washing fine laces do not use 6tarch at all; in the l ist wa'er in which they are linsed put a lit tie fine white sugar, dissolve it thoroughly, and the 1 esult will be pleasing. HUMOROUS. A YOUNG German was once pressing his suit, and in the midst of his ardor ques tioned the object of his choice as to her possible financial future. " I have heard," lie said, "that your good fathei owns two large estates in Silesia." "Yes," was the naive reply, "and he owns two more in Pomuier&nia." The suitor hesitated a moment as to catch his breath, and then falling on his knees and looking the young lady imploringly in the face cried out, "and can ycu my darling, doubt my affection under such circumstances '?" "Boss, I've come up here from Texas to strike the old man for an office. I'm poorer than nine kind of cats ! Can't yon lend me a quarter till the dead-lock is broken?" "Really," said the astonished citizen feel ing in his pocket and holding the silver piece reluctantly in his hand. " I ilou't know you 1" "'d no difference.
