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.

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

r a sham, Unless a husband and
wife are earpest in thelr efforts to

tinged with the meal,
has passed undi gested,
what passes undigested is wasted. 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

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,

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.
