WIBNTIFIO FEEDING OP ANIMALS.
It i much the fashion now to feed
animals on what is known m a ocicntifio
ration, mi J nil the science about it is that
the foods are compounded of various
elements. The excellence of this method
Is that one of these helps to digest tho
others, and thus the whole food is more
nutritious and healthful. It is the Fame
in our own eating. A variety of food is
not only agreeable, but more dipestiblc
and useful. This is understood by the
professors of dietetics, who vary the
food as much as possible, making up a
ration that is more nutritious and effec
tive than any single article of it. New
York Tribune.
TIIR Cl'D of a row.
Rumination is a part of the digestive
process, and in it the cow brings up
from the first stomach, or rumen, a quid
or cud of (he food. This may bo seen
to pass up the jjullet when the cow is in
the act of ruminating. A cow cannot
"lofc her cud." This term is commonly
used to signify that tho function is sus
pended from some disturbance of the
digestive prot-ss, and the remedy for
trouble is simply to restore the action by
giving a dose of one pint or a quart of
raw linseed oil, or as much melted lard,
by which tho stomach is relieved c.f its
load of undigcsled food. A cud cannot
be given to a cow; it is a natural psrt
of the digestion of the food, and not a
tiling like a chew, or quid, or cud of
tobacco, which a man may take. New

HOO rnOLERA AND INOCULATION.
Farmers' Bulletin No. 8, of tho Unilcd
States Department of Agriculture, pre
pared by Dr. D. E. Salmon, Chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, consists of a
review of several attempts made in ro
cent years for the protection of swine
against, hog cholera by inoculation. It
presents a large amount of evidence
gathered from those who have tried it,
giving the results of their experience, as
also a full report of the inoculation ex
periments conducted iu La Salle County,
Illinois, last year under the supervision
of a committee of farmers. Dr. Sal
mon's conclusions, based upon the evi
dence which ho presents in this bulletin
upon the results of the investigations
made by the bureau on the subject, U
that inoculation as a preventive against
hog cholera is a failure from whatever
point of view it be regarded, aud the
farmers are warned against the use of
that method, which he shows to have
been iu many cases more fatal than the
disease it is intended to prevent. As an
instance of this he cites the fact that
whereas the losses following inoculation
in Nebraska duriug the past year were
ten per cent., tho losses among uninocu
lated auimaU were but four per cent.

ture, Washington, D. C.
FEED TIIE GROWING CIUCKR WELL.
In June and July your early spring
chickens are growing more rapidly than
at any other period of the year. They
love the warm weather, if they are of the
larger varieties, especially ; and if they
have roaming room, they canuot well be
over-fed, because they iiud such a variety
of insect aud green food iu the course of
their daily journeys around the farm or
country plat.
Their condition is quite different from
that of adult or maturity grown fowls.
These may be over-fed easily, and will
put on fat iuternally, to their discom
fiture and detrimeut. But the young
stock, in good thrift, convert what they
eat into flesh, bone and muscle, and con
tinue to thrive duiing the heated season
upon all they will ordinarily pack away
in their craws, particularly if allowed a
Tariety of good provender.
Don't stint them, therefore, in feed
ing, but give them all they will eat up
cleau. Thus they will grow in stature
and keep generally in good health. It
is a mistake to under-feed the growing
chickens. They require more solid food
from the time they are three to six or
seven mouths of age, in proportion,
than at any time before or afterward in
their lives. This fact is worth, obset v
ing and remembering by all who aim to
have the "best birds", in the succeeding
fall and winter, annually. Aniericau
Poultry Yard.
I1CMANK WATERING OF HORSES.
That a horse should never be watered
oftener than three times a day, or iu
twenty-four hours, is a mistaken idea
and brutal practice. A horse's stomach
it very sensitive, aud will suffer under the
least interference, causing a teverish con
dition. Feeding a horse principally on
grain and driving it live hours without
water is like giving a man salt mackerel
for dinner and not allowing him to driuk
before supper. If you know anything
about the care of horses aud have any
sympathy for them, water as often as
they want to drink once un hour if pos
sible. By doing this you will not only
be mercilul to your animals, but benefit
yourself, as they will do more work, look
better, and livu longer. If you are a
skeptic, aud know more about horses
than any one else, you are positive that
the foregoing is wrnug,becaue you have
had horses die from watering too much,
and boldly kay that the agitators of trc
quent watering ire fools in your estima
tion, and you ould not do such a thing.
Just reason for a moment, aud figure out
whether tho animal would have over
drunk and overchilled his stomach if ho
had not been allowed to become over
thirsty. A horse is a great deal like a
luau. Let him get overworked, over
starved, or ubused, and particularly for
the want of sutlieieut drum iu warm
weather, and the consequence will alwuys
be injurious. Sensible hostlers in lurge
cities are awaking to the advantage of
frequent watering. Street car horses are
watered eveiy hour, aud sometimes
oftener, while ut work. It is plenty of
water tliat supplies evaporation or pers
piialkJU and keeps down the tempera
ture. What old-foggy methods amount
to may be seeu by tlm change in medical
practice lt man. Twenty years ago a
person having n fever of any kiud or
pneumonia was allowed little water to
drink, aud then it liad to be tepid. To
day jiaetuiuuera prescribe all the icul
ARDEN
water the patient can drink, and cold
bandages are applied to reduce and con
trol the temperature of the blood.-

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Hoses should have rich soil.
Ordinarily the narcissus is from bulboli,
which flower the second year.
It docs not pay to raise tomato plants
when only a limited supply is required.
A good many farmers have prepared
their oat land with a disk harrow in
stead of a plow this season.
Ilaising'horscs is a profitable industry
for the farmer, na rule, where tho colts
aro produced from mares kept for work.
In England there is a standard size
for eggs. All which require more than
fifteen to make a pound sell at a re
duced price.
With practical poultrymen the Minor
ca.! are steadily growing lu favor as ega;
produccrs. Among other good qualities
they lay large eggs.
The surest way to lessen your own
particular agricultural depression is to
reduce the cost of production. Make
this your constant study.
A good clover Held, cut once for a
hay crop and again for seed, will give a
net return that is not excelled in many
staplo branches of agriculture
Eastern truckers talk with cxtv confl
deuce about raising 500 bushels of toma
toes to tho acre, and getting twenty cents
a bushel for them at tbe cauuerics.
Tho time to begin tho regular picking
of the feathers of ducks and geese has
arrived. This can be made profitable
without interfering with the egg produc
tion. Tho only reason why white oats are
better than black for fecdiug is that the
latter have a littlo thicker hull. This
makes a difference of about Sve per cent,
in nutritive value.
When you harness a team see if the
collar is free from dirt and hair, and be
sure it fits properly. Always speak to a
horse when you approach, him, espe
cially from behind.
Stock-keeping is the beginning and
end of profit in diversilicd farming. The
beginning, for it enriches the soil. The
end, for it ultords a profitable means for
disposiug of many crops.
If a dairyman depends upon buying of
much feed ho must have a most excellent
head to enable him to turn it into a
profit. The farm should supply most of
what the cattle consume.
For the cure of chicken cholera the
owls should have mixed with their food
once a day a solution ot carbolic acid
aud water. One dram of acid should be
used to two gallons of water.
Beginners in the poultry business will
often do better with ducks than with
hens, as they are better adapted to be
ing kept in largo numbers, unl do not
sucumb so quickly to disease.
It is well to have plenty of drinking
water near at hand for ducks. In eating
they are frequently choked, and tho man
ner in which they swallow the water dis
lodges tho matter in their throat.
If, when afield with a machine, you
take tools out of the tool box, always
leave what you do not want in the box.
Don't place them on the ground where
you are liabln to forgot and lose them.
In potato growing, don't imagine that
new varieties and high-priced seed can
take tho place of rich land and careful
cultivation. A potato crop will resent
such neglect about as quick as anything
we grow.
A day spent in planting or plowing is
expected to eventually pay some return
for the labor. Butaduy spent in fence
building pays nothing, and we know
that by aud by the same work must be
done over again.
The first thing to ascertain, in order
to make faming profitable, is the cheap
est source of fertility. This will be
found, with few exceptions, in growing
clover and feeding it with grain, bran or
oil meal to good live stock.
The cattle and other live stock feel the
benefits during the winter weather of a
shelter belt of evergreen trees around the
farmyard. Norway spruco will form a
good screen in a few years. Take young
trees aud plant them about eight feet
apart.
Oats should be substituted as much as
possible for corn during the summer.
The corn should, however, be given as
the evening ration. Corn, as in well
known, is a heat-producing food, and
for this reason its use iu the warm sum
mer weather should be limited.
Do not neglect to build a silo for the
poultry. Tne green food given them,
during the wiuter will not only be a
delicacy to them, but will greatly aid
their egg productions. A silo four feet
each way will coutuin enough ensilage to
supply over 10J fowls during tho win
ter. lied raspbcrrioi, to the taste of thou
sands, lack character. They may be
called flabby as contrasted with straw
berries, blackberries, cherries, or even
blackcaps. Some people complain of
the seed of the latter, but their flavor
makes thum superior to the red varieties,
after all.
Do not attempt to use the standing
frame, for where it stauds may be a
"catchall" for dust and a nursery place
for moths. Use the frame that hangs
free from rabbets, aud has shoulders to
"self-space." There is economy iu the
use of the self-spacing trame, and sev
eral other points of excellence.
A good way to treat a broken horn is
to wrap the horn-core in a strip of cottou
cloth smeared with common tar, but not
gas tar. This protects the tender core
1 1 oin the air, aud the new covering is
made iu a short time without any more
attention. The bandage may be left on
until it falls oil, or it may be removed
after a week or two.
The small guild of draughtsmen who
have the frauchiso to draw pictures on
the London pavements, have suddenly
taken to cultivating a higher rate of art.

RAILWAYS OF TIIE WORLD.
BIXTT-SEVEW TKARS PROGRESS
I BTEAM TRAVEL.
The First Itoad Kant Tttina Trav
eling ralacra ot Iloyal Prince
Ititrrmtlnfr Stat 1st Ion.
THE operation of steam railways
began in England by the open
ing of the Stockton and Dar
lington line, September 27,
1825. Tho world then saw the com
mencement of a most gigantic enterprise;
one that has extended to every civilized
and to almost every uncivilized country
on the globe, and which has becomo the
greatest of all enterprises and industries,
and whoso magnitudo is greater than
any other single interest in tho world.
This Stockton and Darlington Road
was a singlo track affair, thirty-eight
miles in length, and the greatest speed
attained was twenty miles an hour.
Four years after opening of this road
tho first line was opened for general
traffic in tho United States, August 9,
18211, on the Mohawk and Hudson Rail
road. Tho first locomotive used on this
line, and consequently tbe first that ever
turned a wheel in the Western Hemi
sphere, was the "Stourbridge Lion," im
ported from Stourbridge, England, Iby the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company in
May, 1829.
Tho second railioad in America upon
which a locomotive was ever run was
the Charleston and Hamburg of South
Carolina, which also had the honor of
being tbe first regularly operated pas
senger road in this countrry, aud the
first to adopt the locomotive as a definite
motive power. The engine used on this
road was the "Best Friend," the first
machine of tho kind constructed in this
country, and was built in West Point
Foundry. It mado its trial trip in No
vember, 1SH0. 4
At the beginning of the presont year
166,817 miles of railway wero in oper
ation in tho United States.
It would bo difficult, no doubt, to
imagine a perfectly straight line of rail
for the eutire distance from Now York to
Boston, but such a railway with such a
straight stretch does, however, actually
exist in the New Argentine Pacific Rail
way from Buenos Ayres to the foot of
tho Andes. For a distance of 211 miles
the lino is laid without a curve. Tho
level nature of the country will be evi
dent from the fact that there is neither a
cutting nor an embankment deeper of
higher than three feet. This is the
longest straight stretch of railway iu tho
world.
Another wonderful piece of railway in
South America is on tbe Calao, Lima
and Croya line, running from Arequipa,
Peru, to La Paz, Bolivia. This is a rail
way in the clouds, for it reaches a point
14.666 feet, or nearly three miles above
the level of the sea. . Tho whistle of
locomotive is heard at no higher point
on tho globe. Near the highest elevation
of this railway a tunnol 381S feet long is
being bored through the peak of tho
mountain, 600 feet above the perpetual
snow line. The railways of the Andes
exhibit some of the mist remarkable re
sults of engineering skill which the world
contains.
The new railway tbe Brienzer Roth
hornbahn which was begun October 1,
1890, and has just been completed and
opened, is the highest railway in the
Alps, and also in all Europe. It is 7886
feet high at tbe summit level, where it
commands magnificent views.
Tbe highest point of railway in the
United States is on the Denver and Rio
Grande Railway. At Marshall Pass this
road attains an elevation of 10,850 feet.
The longest railway system in the
world operated by one single company is
that of the Atchison, Topeka and Saute
Fo Railway, which covers 7110 miles.
Tho longest journey taken by any
European train is from Paris to Con
stantinople, 1S57 miles.
The two countries having the smallest
number of miles of railway arc Persia
aud Porto Rico each have but eighteen
miles. In the former country there are
only two locomotives and four cars.
The smallest railway in the world is
that from Ravenglass to Boot, in Cum
berland, England. The guage is three
feet, and tbe engines and carriages are
miniatures. The stations resemble double
bathing houses more than anything else.
The entire staff of employes is composed
of nu engineer ami stoker combined,
guard, ticket collector, ticket distribu
tor aud two porters.
The shortest steam railway in tho
world is at Bullalo, N. Y., and is known
as the Island Railroad, and is but one-
eighth of a mile in length.
Owners of private cars seem to vie with
each other iu tho magnificence of their
coaches. The Imperial train which has
just been completed for the German Em
peror consists of eleven carriages, and
has occupied three years in construction
and cost nearly $985,000. There is
nothing like it in the world. Many of
the details were planned by the Em
peror himself. Tho carriages include a
study hung with red Qobelin tapestry
from Charlottenberg, a saloon up
holstered in white satin, a nursery, a re
ception room adorned with marble stat
uary, an oak dining room and large
separato sleeping rooms.
IJueen Victoria's traveling caniage is
one of the haudsomest Pullman cars that
havo ever been built. Tho walls are of
satinwood, highly polished. The cushions
are of white silk embroidered in gold
thread. The apartment coutaius four
easy chalis, besides a satinwood table
about six feet long and three feet wide.
The carpet is of velvet pile,covered here
and there with luxurious India rugs
The curtains at the wiudows and the
magnificent portierres are hung on silver
polss. The door handles are solid sil
ver. The whole saloon, with its fittings,
etc., cost about irou.OOO.
ino fastest time ever made on an
American railway was recently done on
the Reading road, when a locomotive
drawiug four passenger coaches cov
ered a mile in 39 seconds, which speed,
if maintained, would coiuu very near to
one hundred miles an hour,
The fastest long distance ruu that was
ever made in England was the famous
performance on the London and North
western between Loudon and Edinburgh,
400 miles, August 13, 1868. Three
stops were mado, the average speed at
tained while iu motiou being 55 4-10
miles uu hour. Four successive miles
were dona iu 47y, 47, 47 aud 47 sec
onds. The Empire State Express, which
ruus daily over the New York; Central
road, is the fastest regular trail in thl
world. The distauce run is 43'.) miles,
tho sf.oa being Albany, Utica.Syracuse,
Kocliester and llutlalo. The actual
r'jiniug time, deducting stops, is 2
miles in hour. On September 14, 1891,
the New York Central Company ran a
train from New York to East Buffalo,
436J miles in 4251 minutes, or within
k fraction of 61 miles an hour.
The two cities having the largest num
ber of trains in and out of their stations
daily are London and Manchester. No
fewer than 2210 trains ordinarily arrive
at and depart from the former city every
twenty-four hours, and nearly as many
at the latter.
The railways of the United States get
almost 122,000,000 a year for carrying
tho mails, while the amount paid by the
British Government for the same service
In England is f 3,750,000.
In the United States during 1891 no
fewer than 820.082,082 passenger wero
tarried on tho railways, and 701,341,437
tons of freight wero also moved on. the
same lines. To do this vast amount of
business required 32,211 locomotives,
22,958 passenger cars, 7253 baggage
nd mail cars and 1,061,970 freight cars,
tf these locomotives wero coupled to
gether they would mako a train 300
miles long, and the passenger cars would
make 300 miles more and could carry
1,500,000 people at one time. Witb
the addition of all tho freight cart tho
train would be more than 7000 miles
long.
The number of men employed in the
railway industry in this country is 714,
750, by which it would appear that over
3,000,000 persons, or nearly one-twentieth
of tho entire population, are de
pendent upon the railway operations tor
a livelihood.
The New York Elevated carries every
year a larger number of passenger than
any other railway in the world. The
London Underground comes next the
former, in 1891, carrying an average of
612,000, and tho latter 405,500 per
day.
The largest railway station in the
world is St. Pancras of thu Midland
Railway in London.
Very few persons have any idea of
the weight of locomotives and passenger
cars. Tho engines that haul tho famous
Pennsylvania "limited'' weigh 92,000
pounds, while the tender, loaded, weighs
50,000 pounds more,' making tho outfit
at tho head of the train weigh more than
142,000 pounds. Other hcavior engines
on the Pennsylvania weigh 150,000
pounds, and the giants 170,000. An
ordinary passenger coach weighs about
50,000 pouuds, while tho Pullman
sleepers are of nearly 75,000 pounds
weight. The parlor cars weigh from
65,000 to 79,000 pounds each. An or
dinary passenger train of, say, six cars
and tho engine weighs in the aggregate
nearly 500,000 pounds. Tho "limiteds"
weigh nearly 750,000 pounds.
Tho total railway mileage of tho entire
world is 369,377 miles, divided up as
follows; Europe, 136,562 miles; Asia,
19,235 miles; America, 197,114 miles;
Africa, 5354 miles, and Australasia,
11,112 miles. New York Advertiser.

census or isi wns 37.8S3.153: our, in
was 62,634.250. Our annual drink bill is, in
round number, fym,(0O,o0; the total sum
spent for beer an 1 spirits in tb United

Re First Flew tho Stars and Stripes.
Tho flans used by tho Colonial troops
during the first two jean of the Revolu
tionary War wero of vnrious design.
Tho New York forces used tho orange,
whito and blue of their Dutch ancestors;
tho Connecticut regiments the three
grapevines ; somo of the other New Eng
land troops tho rnttlesnnko flag, and yet
others, the pine tree flag, n modification
of which had been Used nt Hunker Hill.
The first flag used in naval wnrfnfo bora
black rattlesnake on n yellow grotina,
and was thrown to the breeze by Commo
dore Hopkins enrty In 1776. On June
14, 1777, a committee, of wnicli dona
Adams was tho best known member, sud-
mittcd to tho Congress of tho country a
report for a Notional flag, which was
unanimously accepted without discussion ,
and our present flag was then adopted,
with the exception, of course, oi mo
number of stars. On September dd of
tho same year formal announcement of
its adoption was made to the country.
Tho first publio display of this flag was
made by John Paul Jones, who ran it up
to the masthead of tho Ranger at Ports
mouth just buforo putting to sen. Pub
lic Opinion.
Admirable results havo attended tho
artesian borings in tho Sahara, and this
has lod to a demand being made by the
inhabitants in other portions of the des

'August
Flower"
" I am Tost Master here and keep
a Store. I have kept August Flower
for sale for some time. I think it is
a splendid medicine." E. A. Bond,
P. M Pavilion Centre, N. Y.
The stomach is the reservoir.
If it fails, everything fails. The
liver, the kidneys, tbe lungs, the
heart, the head, the blood, the nerves
all go wrong. If you feel wrong,
look to the stomach first. Put that
right at once by using August
Flower. It assures a good appetite
and a good digestion.
