FARM NOTES, Mixing Horses FEED.—The horse masticates its food but once, and after the food is once swallowed there ls no further mechanical action upon it while passing through the digestive organs, 1f the feod is too wet, the horse can easily swallow it with very little mas- tication, and then there will be very little flow of saliva to mix with it, and the saliva Is a very importance agent in the digestion of the horse. If the food is given dry, the horse must masticate it till it is moistened with saliva before he can swallow it, and when the food is not too concentrated, it is improved by feeding dry. It is for this reason that we caution to moisten the cut hay barely enough, because the weeds stick to it, so that both hay and weeds shall be eaten together, 1t will very readily be seen why the unmasticated food swallowed by the horse, without admixture of saliva, would produce bad effects in passing through the digestive organs largely undigested, If any system could be devised for mixing the ground grain with the dry cut Lay, so as to insure the mastication of both together, that would be the best way of feeding the borses, But there are so few horses that thoroughly masticate even whole oats, that it is much better to haye the grain ground. Some horses will masticate oats so as to be fairly digested, but horses will not masticate whole corn 80 as to be well digested. That system which produces the most complete digestion and assimila- mixed, isnot as well digested as food that is thoroughly masticated and mixed with saliva. Yet feeding too wet does | not have as bad an effect upon rum- inating animals as the horse, because | the cow remasticates her food, if mixed | with coarse fodder, and it has thus a | second opportunity to absord saliva, Any dairyman can try the expen- | ment of feeding his cows four to six | quarts of corn-meal per day in two | feeds, for three weeks, and after the HOUSEHOLD. Mixce Pin.—For the mince meat use two pounds of chopped beef, one pound each of raisins and English cur- rants, the juice and grated rind of one lemon, two tablespoonfuls of ground cinnamon, one large teaspoonful of ground cloves, one grated nutmeg, one cup each of New Orleans molasses and granulated sugar, and two quarts of finely chopped apples, If the apples are very tart more sugar will be re- quired, Boil the beef until very tender, sea- son and chop fine; seed the raisins and wash the currants in several waters to be sure they are free from grit, or, if preferred, use another pound of raisins in their place. Grate the yellow part of the lemon rind—but not the white as that 18 usually bitter—and press out the juice. I’ut all the Ingredients into a large pan and mix them thoroughly; strain the liquor in which the beef was cooked apd use It to moisten the mix» ture, This quantity is sufficient for six pies, It will be much better la- vored if made several days before it is used, but, of course, it should be kept in a cool cellar, Live pie plates with rich paste, fill with the meat, and bike until of a dell- cate brown. asin m— DEAREST Prac ON Eanrtn.— Home ought to be made the dearest spot on earth. Read thls, from the Pittsburg Commercial: ‘‘There can be no genuine happiness, no solid comfort and no real prosperity in a home that 18 merely a place of shelter, a conveni- r a sham, Unless a husband and wife are earpest in thelr efforts to place on earth, it will be shadowy, chilly and more or less uncomfortable to both.

Bul if the corn-meal is properly mixed with | cut hay, there will be none of it passed into the manure undigested. This fact decides the whole question. SHELTER THE WAGON IN WINTER, To provide more shelter for animals, some farmers allow wagons to stand | out of doors during the winter. They | think that winter weather does not | injure the wagon. The fact is that in winter the moisture gets in and stays | in; in the summer it dries out, Hence a wagon will spoil more in winter than | in summer; and while In summer the of the evil 1s really the moisture get ting into the wood. In winter the apart or makes a large crack of a small one, quently, and this the farmer can do for himself, Stripes and scrolls do not add to the value of the wagon, weather is too disagreeable for outside work. THE value of stable dung, must not be estimated upon actual richness in ammonia or phosphoric acid within a short period of its production, must be calculated on its wonderful physical and chemical action on the elements of the soil and the air, and outside substances can be introduced, ble.

Which tree will suit you and your soil, farmer, as it is your duly to set out? Lay your plans now! Frew farmers realizes the amount which an acre of grapes will bring if the crop isa full one and prices are very low. Three cents a pound seems ridiculously cheap, yet at this price an acre of any productive variety will bring more money than an acre of grain or any kind of farm crops. Two tons per acre is a small yield, but three cents a pourd gives a gross return of $120 per acre. A large portion of the corn erop is converted into glucose and the refuse fed to stock. Glucose manufactories give employment to a large number of persons and enable the farmers to derive better prices for corn, The pro- per mode of selling corn, however, is in the shape of pork. 1¥ your supply of hay is short, use your straw and corn fodder as part of the daily ration. Any deficiency in the coarse food can be cupplied with extra In fact, any ration can be fi by the judicious useof ground grain and cottonseed or linseed meal.
