AGRICULTURE.
WILL IT PAY TO STEAM FODDER? —Tak-
ing the word fodder in its broadest sense,
us any kind cf food for gramniverous ani
mals, we may say in at it will always pay
to steam or cook feed for swine, and often
for cows in stables containing 25 head or
more, while for sheep and horses it will lie
of doubtful expediency, and usually not
advisable under any circumstances. The
cooking of feed for fattening swine is im
portant 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 baud, to cook the feed for neat
cattle with profit, not oniy shou'd there be
animals enough to make it pay,but the ra
tions should be so carefully plauued, that
thai by mingling of palatable, with less
relished and coarse fodder, a saving may
be effected in that way. Besides toe ob
ject tor which the cattle are kept is an im
portant factor to be considered in the feed
ing.
The flow of milk is increased by steam
ing the lodder —the color of the butter is,
however, injured. The same ration will
prove more fattening, while, at the same
time: there will be little or no waste, if the
steaming is well mauaged. It is best to
have the steamed ration composed of a
variety of feed, such as corn fodder, roots,
hay, or oat straw, with brau aud com
meal, or cotton seed, or linseed cake, or
meal. The substitution of one kind of
fodder or meal for another, gives variety
and relish. The coarse fodder is cooked
soft, and the flavor of the roots and of the
meal pervades the mass, It is not likely
that any of the small agricultural steamers
can De made to economieally cook the food
for as many as 25 or SO head of cattle.
When a boiler ol several horse power is
employed to do other work, as pumping,
thrashing, sawiug wood, grinding, cutting
hay, and corn fodder, etc., steam may be
economically used forcookiug fodder. Of
this there can be little doubt. The steam
box in which Ihe fodder is placed for
cook ng, if it is big enough, need uot be
tilled cltener than twice a week, aud if. as
already intimated, every pains is taken iu
the operation to save in the items of labor
aud luel, steaming fodder for cattle will
l>e profitable.
GROWING YOUNG STOCK.—The most
appropriate food for all kinds of young
slock is the mother's milk, and so soon as
the young things can be induced to eat,
other feed, grass, etc., they should be sup
plied with gtound feed, shelled corn, hay,
grass and any other such feed, which being
fed with the dam's miik, makes the most
satisfactory growth. The milk materially
aids digestion, and thus it is th it the lar
ger quantity of food is consumed, which,
with the milk, makes the finest possible
growl hof flesh, bone and muscle. It was
this nnlk and shelled corn that made the
famous big steer in Missouri out of the
scrub calf, and had that calf beeu a good
high grade still better results would have
been obtained with the milk feed and care
of that calf. Good blood is important for
the 1 est results. Never use any other than
lull-blood sires should be the motto of
every farmer. Then, with good stock,the
judicious care and treatment from the very
first wtek of birth will bring satisfactory
results in dollars and cents.
£The young farmer and stock raiser will
find that successful treatment ot young
animals to secure health, thrift and vigor
is the ait that can haruly be too diligently
investigated. The money value of stock,
or the prout in raising stock, depends on
knowing how to do it economically. Eco
nomy does not consist in cneap food, but
in such as the animal, whatever its kind;
will readily assimilate, and will give the
l>est returns in desirable growth, If the
food is not right, no excess of quantity will
make up for its deficiency in quality. Wa
ter is indispensable and should be pure;
impure and stagnant water ought not to be
tolerated. The first few months of an
animal's life are the most important period
in its existence to its owner. It it is ne
glected and stunted, no subsequent treat
ment can make good the injury done ex
cept at a exist that lepresents no inconsider
able extra sacrifice of time, care and money.
To get early lambs the rams should be
placed with ewe during the month of No
vember. Where only one ram is used he
should be taken out of the flock every
evening and given a good grain feed of say
a pint of oats and corn mixed, and put in
a dry,comfortable place by himself tor the
night and have another feed of grain before
being put with the flock next morning. If
two rams are used they can be put into
the flock alternate days, giving each one a
rest every alternate day. Where it is in
convenient to take the ram out of the flock
lie should be fed grain in a little box in
the pasture, the attendant coaxing him up
to his feed until he understands what he
is to expect, and then staying with him
uutii he has finished, his grain.
HAWKS and owls prey upon rats, mice
and other small animals, thereby keeping
them in check; while the crew 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 corn,
they do a thousaad acts of kindness to the
farmer for every one that is injurious.
So sayß the SUN, and there is a great deal
of truth m it.
PEACH trees should have a mulch
around the base and under the branches.
In the spring peach trees should be well
cultivated, and during the summer they
should be cultivated nearly the same as
corn. With good treatment the trees will
live to double the age of those neglected.
Mineral fertilizers show good results when
applied to them.
THERE is at present iB a fence on the
farm of Mr. David Rutt, m West Donegal
township, a locust post that has the date
1781 cut in it. and was no doubt made in
that year. Mr. Rutt's father, who was a
a very old man, discovered the post when
he was a small boy. It is well preserved,
considering that it is over a century old.
FARMERS generally lay out too much
work for the help they employ. Tne best
rule is not to attempt the cultivation of
large areas, but to make the land produce
the largest yields. If one acre of ground
can be made to produce fifty bushels of
wheat, that is far better than to appropri
ate two or three or lour acres in the pro
duction of the same quantities.
I'OLLTRY manure is nearly equal to gua
no, and the value of the quantity annually
derived from a single fowl is about fifty
cents, fully one-half the cost of the feed.
Five hens will make about one barrel of
manure, and on farms where large number
of poultry are kept the importance of this
fact should not be overlooked.Every ouuee
should be saved.
POTATOES, when dug in an unnpe state,
may l>e at times watery and not lit to eat,
but if spread as thinly as possible in a
dry, airy place, they will m time become
as mealy as if left to ripen on the ground.
TOADS are valuable :n a garden, but de
structive in au apiary, as they devour the
bres.
DOMESTIC.
ORIENTAL embroidery oil thin muslm
is readily imitated at liomo by the use
of pearl and irridescent beads and vel
vet and plush leaves. The raised ap
pearance of flowers, whether tliey are
in beads or in embroidery, is gained by
padding. Cotton wool is first sewn
very lirmly 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 smaller beads to rep
resent the laiaed center of the natural
flower. Drawn work is rapidly becom
ing more and more fashionable. It is
trying to the eyes but so fascinating
that ambitious workers are always elab
orating designs in it. It consists ol
drawing out the threads of flue linen
filling in the spaces thus obtained by
stitolias of every variety. Recently,
decoration for towels and napkins has
taken this form : Tue threads are
drawn out at regular intervals, and then
a design is worked in the interstice in
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 flue Sax
ony flannel, embroidered iu raised des
igns of flowers and birds. The angels'
heads which wore so fashionable last
year are scarcely seen ; they are re
placed by a double bordering of deli
cately tinted blossoms, one end being
folded over and worked in such away
that it can be placed outside the cover
let, The latest style ol all adds a mono
gram in the center. Gold embroidery
can never be satisfacteily 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.
CLEANING CARPETS. —In all our own
experiments we have found nothing so
saie and serviceable as bran slightly
moistened, only very slightly, just suffi
cient to hold the particles together,
In this case it is not necessary to stop
and clean the broom every few minutes.
Sw eepiug the carpet after the bran has
been sprinkled over it not only cleans
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, beeause the bran be
comes very heavy it very damp. The
bran should be sifted evenly over the
floor, and then the room swept as usual.
The bran scours and cleanses the whole
labric, very little dust is made whiie
sweeping with it, and scarcely any set
tles on furniture, pictures, etc., after
the work is accomplished, because every
particle of Girt, threat!, bite of paper, or
lint is gathered up iqto the mass of bran
that is being moved over the floor, and
so thoroughly incorporated with it that
it will not be easily separated. Carets
swept in this way retain very little dust
as will be plainly demonstrated when
ever they are taken up to be shaken.
HEAD CHEESE.— CIean the legs nicely
and ooil by tut-niselves, so that when
done there will be plenty of the liquor.
Boil the upper head, minus ears, eyes
and nose, with considerable lean meat,
tenderloin is best, and when done re
move bones and skin from head and legs;
ehop the lean; salt and pepper to suit
taste; add the liquor the legs were boil
ed in, and last, but not least, a teacup
ful of vinegar and a teacnpiul of catsup
to every gallon. When thoroughly cold
it can be cut out in slices.
CREAM OYSTERS. —Fifty shelled oys
ters, one quart ot sweet cream, butter,
salt and pepper to taste. Put the oreaui
and oysters in separate kettles to heat,
the oysters in their own liquor, and let
them come to a boil; when sufficiently
cooked, skim; take them out of the liq
uor and put them into some dish to keep
warm. Put the cream and liquor to
gether, Season to taste and thicken
with powdered crackers. W hen thick,
stir in the oysters.
ArrnE MINCE PIE, —Two pounds of
apples pared and chopped, three-fourth*
pound ot beef suet, one of currants;
one-half raisins seeded and chopped;
one-half sultana raisins, one-quarter
citron cut in shreds, one tablespoonfnl
cinnamon, one teaspoonful cloves, one
of mace, one tablespoonful allspice, two
pounds of brown sugar, half pint best
brandy, a glass of wine, two teaspoon
fuls of salt.
TOAST. —To prepare toast suitable for
invalids, cut stale bread in slices half
au inch thick, aud trim off the crust;
then hold it far enough away from the
tire to dry it before browning it; it
sliould be of a delicate brown color and
quite dry in the middle of the slice; in
this condition it is more easily digested
than when made so quickly that the
moisture of the bread remains in it.
GERMAN PUFFS. —HaIf pmt milk, five
eggs, two large spoons of flour, two
ounces butter; bake in small tins or cups;
till them half full; they require a quick
oven; a few minutes will bake them; to
be eaten as soon as they are out of the
cups, as they will fall if allowed to
cool.
To make good starch, mix with cold
water and add boiling water until it
thickens; then add a dessertspoon of
sugar and a small piece of butter. This
makes a stiff and glossy finish, equal to
new.
DRESSING FOR POULTRY. —Place in a
pan a small loaf of baker's bread, one
half cup of butter, the yolks of four
eggs, pepper, salt, a little summer sav
ory and two onions sliced and fried
brown; pour over boiling water enough
to wet it thoroughly, then mix.
To make pastry flaky mix it two or
three days before using and place in a
very cold place. It can be kept a week
or ten days with good result.
To clean copper tea-kettle, use turpen
tine and fine brick dust, and rub hard
with flannel, and polish with leather
and dry brick d ust.
To destroy red ants, put a pint of tar
in an earthen vessel and pour over it
two quarts of boiling water and put in
the closet.
AFTER washing cut-glass articles let
them dry thoroughly and then rub with
prepared chalk and a soft brush.
MACHINE grease may be removed
from wash goods by dipping the fabric
in cold rain water and soda.
To temper a glass jar so that it can be
at once filled with anything hot, put
into it a silver spoon.
To clean willow furniture use salt and
water, and apply with a coarse brush
and dry thoroughly.
SELECT the finest tubers when harvest
ing the crops and put ihern aside for next
spring's planting. Following this rule
lor a few seasons will produce a great
improvement iu the quality of your pota

HUMOROUS.
A COOLNESS has arisen between Kosci
usko Murphy and Mrs. Hufnagel, one
of the most fashionable ladies of Austin.
There was a lawn party at the Hufnagel
mausiou. Mrs Hufnagel showed Mr.
Murphy over the grounds, and asked
him what he thought of their arrange
ment. "I am delighted, madam," was
the reply. ''Wherever 1 look I see the
footpriuts of your genius." As Mrs.
Hnfuagel has a foot almost ns big as a
wheelbarrow, she supposed there was
something personal in the remark. She
did not liiut exactly that she was not
glad to have liim stay for slipper, but
she opeued the gate and pointed into
the street, and Murphy, who is very
sensitive, strolled away.
