SOUSE AND FARM.
The Best Feed to Proddee mile.
It is well settled in the opinion of
a ll onr best dairymen, that bran
greatly promotes the milk secretions
iu cows, and it is fed almost univer
sity. About equally mixed with
coni meal is the usual proportioh.
This mixture seems to promote both
quantity and quality of mjlk.
From several sources we hear that
buckwheat brands a great milk pro
ducer, and it is being used consider
ably among our Chester country
dairvmen, in about the same propor
tions as the other. -
Thomas Gawthrop, near West
Groye, Chester county, also by re
peated trials with his own cows, has
fully satisfied himself that they do
as well with corn and cobmeal
an d bran, as with pure com meal
and bran. The amount of nutriment
in corn-cobs is so very small, that
this result will have to be explained
on the supposition of the ground cob,
acting to promote digestion by dis
tending the stomach. The presence
of bulky material being necessary to
promote distension and fill up the
stomach of ruminating animals, be
fore perfect digestion can be accom
plished, is frequently lost sight of.
Hungarian grass is also found for
milch cows to be rather superior to
the ordinary run of hay. The last
year or two, Hungarian grass has
loomed up wonderfully in the esti
mation of our dairy farmers; and a
very large scope of land will be
powed with it the coming season.
H matures ,? for cutting in about
sixty days, and produces two to
four tons per acre —the latter of
course on good soils. Three pecks
to the acre is the usual allowance
of seed. Where a good hay market
G convenient, this substitution of
Hungarian grass for common hay in
homf 1 feeding will be a clear addi
tional source of profit. —Radical
Profit of Butter-Ittakliis.
Mr. Huft’un, of N. H., said in a
epcfell recently before the N. H.
r„j;irJ of Agriculture: “ Youngtnen
kivt the farm because they don’t
gee how to make it pay. VVft tann
ers are la Vault. We do not adopt
a system to show our loss and gain,
n v can not tell the cost of produc
ing a crop, and therefore don’t know
what pays and what don’t. We
cast determine this matter, and
practice that which will return a
front.” The speaker then took up
the single question of keeping- cows
fur milk. He said an ordinary cow
would yield about 1,500 quarts of
milk per year, which, made into but
ter and cheese, would not average
mare than two cents a quart income.
This won’t pay. Now, increase the
Quantity to 2,000 quarts or 2,500 and
you see a profit; add a little more
and the result will be, instead of a
'nceipt of §3O we get $6O. It is the
same in other departments. An av
erage price of butter with us is but
twenty-two and twenty-five cents
pound, and this don’t pay.
Hake an improvement so that it will
average forty or fifty, and you see a
profit. The average price of butter
'a towns in certain sections in Mass-
a nusetts is sixty-seven cents — a
1 ice that pays. All butter-makers
can do the same or nearly as well.
e can't often buy good cows—
breeders won’t sell at prices we are
filing to pay. We must raise
hem ; and in so doing we must se
-1
b'osc breeds and those families
1 at are adapted to our immediate
! "pose. Ayrshires, Jerseys, and
k curt-horns are the only bloods that
cciivmen will accept.”

c , 1 Circular paper shades can be

not only protect the eyes from the
excess oflightbut eerve as

illumination one-Kalf. Besides the
above mentioned evil there is that
of the varying quantity of light
thrown into the eye by its being
suddenly and alternately directed
toward the blaze or obliquely awjfp"
from it, by which the pupil has,^ ofc
time to adapt itsell to the incase

the community having spots, light
or dark, in the held of vision, aris
ing from inhfy to the retina by the
ill nsagep which we are mentioning,
is greyer than is commonly imagin
ed. It mast be borne in mind that
these spots are a serious step toward
amanrosis and gntta serena, such as
plunged in darkness the latter years
of the great Milton and many others
more eminent for their talents than
their caution.
Sheep on Low Ground.
It is generally believed by > farm
ers, writes a correspondent, that low,
wet land, is very unfavorable for
sheep. I have kept a flock for four
years in a pasture of this descrip
tion—for the first two years with
unfavorable results. My sheep were
unhealthy and many of them died.
I ascribed it to the wetness of my
pasture. Upon the recommendation
of an old farmer I gave the sheep
charcoal mixed with salt. The ben
eficial efiect of this mixture was
soon apparent. My sheep present
ed a more healthful appearance. I
have continued the treatment and
the animals have continued to thrive.
I suppose the medical qualities of
this mixture consists in the disin
fecting property of the charcoal, and
in the invaluable tonic and alterative
properties of the salt, we may add;
for like many other remedial agents,
this article, when given -in small
doses, augments the digestive func
tions. ■ In larger doses it is cathartic.
nixed Husbandry in Farming.
The following extract from a
speech delivered at a meeting pi
the Maine State Board of Agricul
ture is sound for almost any locali
ty : This is the only safe path for
the Maine farmer to pnrsue; if there
is any safe path let ns follow it. No
one crop safe enough Tor a spe
cialty. Take any crop yon please
and see if this is not true. Special
ties look well on paper, are fine in
theory, but are poor in practice.
The husbandry of England is due
to a judicious rotation for its excel
lence. The climatic conditions that
. are favorable to one crop militate
'against others to some extent. The
prices demanded for skilled labor
will not admit of specialties being
generally followed. If we ran to a
specialty and that fails we are out
in the cold. It takes more skill to
run a specialty than mixed husban
dry, and it will not pay to ran spe
cialties except with skilled labor.
Near good markets this course may
do, but for the farmers of the Slate
7
as a whole it will not do.
How to Save Clover Seed
A Canada farmer put a wire bot
tom in a trough in which he fed his
stock, the wire being two or three
inches above the close bottom of the
trough. The istock in pulling the
clover hav from the rack wduld scat
ter the seed, almost pure, through
the wire into the receptacle below.
In this way he saved seed enough
for his own sowing and to pay for
all the dry goods used in his family,
and received $25 in cash besides.
i To wash hair brushes, never use
soap. Take a piece of soda, dissolve
it in warm water, stand the brush
in it, making sure that the water
only covers the bristles. It will al
most instantly become white and
clean. Place it in the air to d/y,
with the bristles downward, and it
will be as firm as a new brush.
Sugar Cookies Without Eggs.—
Two cups sugar, one cup butter,
and one cup sweet milk, one tea
spoonful soda; two teaspoonfuls
cream tartar, sifted in the flour; spice
to suit the taste, and flour to make
it thick enough to roll easy; rub
butter and sugar in the dry flour,
then wet and roll out, using no eggs.
Fried Bread or Morning Toast.—
Drop the slices in milk and egg
—fry in butter.
