But it is quite possible that the cow may be given to make fat rather than milk, as is the habit with some cows, and in such a case there might bo danger of tho anitr al fat tening instead of milking. In such a case any kind of good feeding would have the same effect. The writer has been feeding cows for making butter for over thirty years, and has never found any difficulty in this way, tho cows be ing fed from eight to twelve pounds of the meal daily, as they could digest it profitably. If the cow fattens instead of milking, it might be a good thing to let tier get fat and sell her and get a milk ing one instead. Shorts is not a good food for milk it would be better to give ground oats with the meal. Apples in any way aro beneficial to cows that are milking. Jsexe York Timet. THUNDER STORMS AFFECTING MILK. It is a very old belief of our farmers, and at one time quite geueral, that dur ing a thunder storm sweet milk was likely to turn sour very rapidly, and that this change was due to the thunder or some unexplained electrical force. There is, however, just this much truth in the idea or belief, and no more. Diirintj the season ol thunder storms the weather is usually warm, and as is well known high temperature very soon develops acidity in milk and hastens the separation of the cheesy matter from tho whey. That eitner tauudcr or lightning ha? any di rect effect in souring milk is no longer believed by our practical dairymen, for if it was a fact that thunder storms had any such effect tbey would work most disastrous results to the milk supply of our great cities, as well as to tho butter factories and creameries all over the country. If you will store your milk in a cool room and see that the temperature does not rise during a thunder storm, we are inclined to think your belief in its direful cffeit will fado away before the end of tho first summer. Xew York Sun. STORING KOOTS IS PITS. A farmer in Ontario, Canada, says he stores his turnips and other roots iu the following manner: He first digs trenches five or six feet wide and six or eight inches deep. From the bottom of these tienches he puts in ventilators mada of three six-inch boards nailed together, as often as once in eight feet. In these trenches he piles the turnips as high as they will stay without rolling down, making the sides of the pile straight and even, and the top to as sharp a peak as possible. He covers this heap as evenly as he can with about ten inches of dry straw and covers this with four or five inches of earth, which he smooths off with the shovel. Mangolds and car rots should be covered a littlo thicker. For potatoes he made the pits shorter and wider, and covers with two coats of straw and earth in alternate layers, also uses bunches of straw for ventilators. The roots come out fresher than those from the cellar. Jn putting roots in the cellar he runs them over a slatted spout, so that much dirt rattles off then, but he finds that much collects near the bot tom of the spout, and he is careful to move the roots back so as to got them out of this. A system which preserves root in a climate as cold as that of On tario would surely prevent freezing iu New England. Boston Cultivator. HOW TO MAKE CHICKENS GROW RAPIDLY. There is no reason and very little profit in allowing chickens to be slow in com ing to maturity. The small biped starts into life all ready to grow rapidly, and only lack of proper food will keep it from foraging ahead. Whether chicks are reared in brooders, or by hens, they must have plenty of warmth, pure water and cleanliness, and when these are se cured we come to the important matter of lood, which is one of the chief factors in rapid growth. This should coutain Just the elements that a growing chick requires, in such shape as to be readily digested. Raw eggs beaten into bread crumbs are excslient for the first few days. For this purpose tho sterile eggs that have been removed from the iucu bator, or from under the hens at about the tenth day, will serve very woll. The chicks will also delight to pick at rolled oats (which 'are steam-cooked), and this is excollent for growth. Very soon they may have boiled wheat, and one can al most see his chickens grow while they are eating it. A little cooked potato, or cooked vegetable will not come amiss occasionally as they grow older. What ever is given them should be thorougly cooked until the chickens are eight or ten weeks old, if the most rapid growth is to be secured. When tbey can run at large upon the ground they will obtain an abundance of tender grass and other greeu tuff, but if confined, there is noth ing better than bruised clover leAes, scalded or cooked into a little bran or middlings. Some bulky food is neces sary, or indigestion will ensue. Clover provides both bulk and grow th material, and where milk cannot be obtained the liquid in which clover hay has been steoped will be a most excellent substi tute. Lean meat is good to feed occa sionally, but it is best cooked until it will readily full apart, while fresh ground bone is one of the cheapest, and prob ably one of the best foods for growing chickens and for layiug liens that can be found. Any one who keeps a consider able number of hens or raises chickens in large quantities will find a bone-cutter almost invaluable. Feed very little corn meal to growing chicks until it is de sired to fatten them. Corn is essentially a heat-producing and fat-producing food. There is one other essential to rapid growth and that is exercise. Chickens will get this if allowed to run with a ben, but if reared in brooders they must be made to scratch, or good food will avail them but little. American Agricul turist. EFFECT OF WATEU L'POK HORSES. A horse can live twenty-five days with out solid food, merely drinking wator; seventeen days without either eating or drinking; and only five days when eat iuji solid food without drinking. An idea prevails among horsomon that a horse should never be watered oftcner than three times a day, or in twenty-four hours. This is not only a mistaken idea but a very brutal practice. A horso's stomach is extremely sensitive, and will suffer under the least Interference, caus ing a feverish condition. Feeding a horso principally on grain and driving it five hours without wator is like giving a man salt mackerel for dinner and not allowing him to drink until supper time very unsatisfactory for the man. If you know anything about the care of horses, and have any sympathy for them, water them as often as they want to drink once an hour, if possible. By doing this, you will not only bo merciful to your animals, but you will be a bene factor to yourself, as they will do more work; they will be healthier; they will look better; and will bo less liablo to coughs and colds, and will live longor. If you aro a skeptic nd know more about horses than any one else, you are positive that the foregoing is wroni?, be cause you have had horses die with watering them too much, and boldly say that the agitators of frequent watering aro fools in your estimation, and you would not do such a thing. Just reason for a moment, and figure out whether the animal would have over-drank and over-chilled its storaach if it had not been allowed to become over-thirsty. A horse is a great deal like a man. Let him got overworked, overstarved, or abused, and particularly for the want of sufficient drink in warm weather, and the consequences will always be injuri ous. Sensible hostlers in large cities are awakening to the advantages of frequent watering. Street car horses are watered every hour, and sometimes ol tenor, while they are at work. It is plenty of water that supplies evaporation or pcrspiratiou and keeps down the temperature. What old fogy methods amount to may be seen by the change in modical prac tice to man. 1 weuty years ago a person having a fever of any kind or pneumonia was allowed but a little water to drink. and th en it had to be tepid. To-day practitioners prescribe all tho iced water the patient can possibly drink; and in addition, cold bandages are applied to reduce and control the temperature off the blood. What is applicable to man will never injure a horse. Use common sense and human feeling. Don't think it is a horse and capable of enduring any and all things. A driver who sits iu his wagon and lashes his worn-out, half curried, half-fed and half-watered team should never complain of any abuse he may receive from his master or employer, for he is lower in character, harder in sympathy and less noble than the brutes he is driving, and deserves, in the name of all that is human, the punishment of a criminal. Chicago Clay Journal. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. A cock to twenty hens will do good mating. A poultry farm need not exceed two or threo acres. Feed your stock so well that hunger will not be an incentive to unruliness. If animals, like men, had salt in their food they would require little to lick. This should not be a bad fnll for poultry. There is plenty of dust surely. Raise as many chickens as possible and as early as possible. They represent so much money. Trials at the Vermont station indicate that there is nothing to be gained by milk ing cows three times a day. The quality of the wool you sell dom inates the price received, and good wool will not grow on starvation rations any more thau good meat. Sell off the surplus hens now before the turkey season fairly opens to depress prices. Select the young ones for next year's breeding pens. Don't allow your dogs to run down your flock of hens. Hunting dogs, es pecially, if not hunted will sometimes woiry poultry by chasing them. Farmers and villagers who handle spe cial breeds usually find it profitable if they are so situated as to keep tho blood pure and free from contact, with badly kept fowls. In buying breeding fowls be careful that tho flock from which selected is 1 free from roup or cholera. If buying from a distance obtain a guarautee ol these conditions. Calves need the best attention, especi ally in winter. The growth they have attained during the summer must not be allowed to stop, nor must they be per mitted to become poor now. Do not expect any breed of hen to lay equally well in summer and in winter. If you insist on a good supply of eggs from November till February, then select a breed noted for the ability to lay In the winter. Do not expect everything of one breed. Fruit mon say that when fruit is bar relled, and is to be hauled several miles by team before being shipped, tho bar rels should be hid down on thoir sides to that they will not be shaken closer to gether and thus be left looser in the bar rel than when packed. When tomato viues are nipped by tho first frost, it is said to he of great ad vantage in ripening the remaining green fruit to cut oil all frosted portions of leaves and stalks, as this prevents the de preciated sap from the frozen parts from reaching and depreciating the fruit. One of the Rare MeUls. Thoe with only an elementary knowl edge of chemUtry are aware- that there are more thau forty recognized metals. A large number of these can only be regarded as curiosities of the laboratory, for there is no specilic use for them; in dued, they ate found in naturo in such minute quantities that some of them are iar more precious than gold. Among these rare metals is wolfram, or tungsten, a uie for which has been found since guns of enormous calibre came into vogue. It is uufortuuutely a matter of com mon knowledge that these guns are liable to iraclure; but it has been found that by adding a very small percentage of tungsten to the flue steel of which the inner lining is made au elasticity is con ferred upou the metal which it did not possess before, so that it will bear ex pansion and contraction under heavy discharges without giving way. Tungsten is a white metal of very brittle quality, and its specific gravity is only a trifle less thau that of gold. Chumben t Journal.

The Shoe Violin. , ' i A Paris newspaper fcce-.tly'antiounced tha sale of one of tho most curious vio lins in the world. formerly belonged to Pegnnini, tho great violinist, and at first sight merely presents tho appear ance of a misshapen wooden shoo. Its history is curious, and not without in terest. During tho winter of 1838 Fagnnlnl was living in Ruo do la Victoria. One day a laigo box was brought there by tho Normandy diligcnco, on opening which he found two inner boxes, and, wrapped carefully in tho folds of tissue paper, n wooden shoo and a letter, stating that tho writer, having heard much of tho -wonderful genius of the violinist, begged, ns a proof of his do votion to music, thnt Pnganini would play in public ou tho oddly constructed instrument inclosed. At first Pngnnini felt this to bo an Im pertinent sntirc,and mentioned tho facts, with some show of temper, to his friend, the Chevalier do Rarido. Tho latter took tho shoe to a violin maker, who converted it into a remarkably sweet toned Instrument, and Pnganini was pressed to try tho shoe violin in pub lic. Ho not only did so, but performed upon it fonio of hie most dillluult fanta sias, which fuels, iu the handwriting of violinist, nro now recorded on tho violin Itself. Xtie York Telegram.

Dr. Hess considers thnt plati num needles and tips are entirely unnec essary, for they havo no advantage over copper points; but as there aro light ning btrokes which aro capable of making wiro u.ZU inches thick incandescent, un- branched copper conductors should never bo of less diameter than this, though in a good lightning rod the main point is to secure perfect communication between it and tho earth.
