FEEDING VALfK OF BRAN.
Bran, whether of wheat or rye, Is of
itself a perfect food, that is, it contains
all the elements of animal nutrition, and
in such proportions as are needed for
every animal product, with the sole ex
ception of sulphur. It is rich in bonc
mnking materials, as lime and phosphoric
acid, and has a ratio of nitrogenous to
carbo hydrates exactly fitted for com
plete nutrition. This is 5 of the latter
to one of the former. Its relative value
as compared with othur foods in money
is f 1 per 100 pounds, and it has three
per cent, of fat. But it is not quite so
digestible as the whole grains from
which it is derived. Consequently it
should be fed with other kinds of food
that are richer in starch and fat. Thus
the best way of feeding it is when mixed
in equal proportions with oatmeal, which
is better than anv one of the oil meaU.
Four pounds of each of these two foods
is a usual quantity for a day's feeding
for a. cow. For Bheep, which require
more sulphur than other animals, on ac
count of the quantity of this that is con
tained in the fleece, some linseed meal
may be added, and clover hay or roots,
which, being rich in sulphur, may be fed
with bran to advantage. Xew York
Times.
MAKE THE FARM BCIXDINGS COMFORTABLE
A farmer should never attempt to win
ter mora stock than he can furnish with
comfortable shelter. Many farmers have
large farm buildings but they soon get
out of repair, a board off, a door bang
ing by one hinge, or leaky roofs. Such
buildings are not comfortable. The
openings allow snow to continually sift
in, or give free and uninterrupted access
to drafts of cold air. In such cues a
pound of nails and a few hours' time iu
repairing often saves a ton of hay in one
wiuter. A building which is simply
boarded up should have the cracks bat
tened and thus made as tight and close
as possible. Use steel wire nails long
enough to be clinched. This takes a
little longer but the battens will then
always remain cU.se fitting, which means
warmer room and stock in better con
dition with less fodder. The building
should not be made so close as to be un
comfortable during the pleasant days of
spring, but there should be free and
thorough ventilation when the higher
temperature may require it. Fodder
may be cheap, but nails and boards are
cheaper, whereas feed is gone in a single
season, while buildings are a perraenent
investment. Provide suitable racks and
mangers to feed the stock from, and do
not feed from the ground or snow bank.
Keep the different kinds of stock in a
separate inclosure. Feed regularly, and
provide nn adequate supply of fresh
water, American Agriculturist.
TEAMS IN fviNTER.
After the corn is cribbed aud the fall
plowing done there is not a great deal
of team work to be done during the
wiuter. There will be some feed to
haul, more or less manure to haul out and
some fuel to haul. Usually one team
will do all that is necessary. It will be
best to have this team well shod and well
fed so that they can readily do what is
required of them. It is always an item
to keep them thrifty, feeding and groom
ing well and regularly. It does not pay
to allow any of them to run down, and
while with those that are not at work it
is always an item to winter as economi
cally as possible, at the same time the eco
nomical wintering should never be done
at the expense of condition. Close con
finement is not good for horses. They
need exercise and they should be allowed
to run out every day that the weather
will permit. It may not be advisable to
turn them out into the pastures, but they
can have the run of a lot to good advan
tage. If well sheltered and iven plenty
of roughness very iittle grain will be
needed, but they should have some. Un
threshed oats run through a feed cutter,
with a small quartity of bran, makes one
of the very best feeds for tho idle teams
iu wiuter. But hay and corn fodder,
with a little corn and bran, will make a
good ration. Once a week give all the
hordes a bran mash. This will havo a
tendency to keep the bowels open and
will serve uko to make a vanety.
Never feed more of anything than
they will eat up cI.mu. Even with straw
or corn fodder only what they will eat
clean should be giveu. This is neces
sary if they have a good appetite.
Coru can neuily always bu fed with
bene3t when the sve.Jh-r is very cold on
accou'it of its heating qualitie. Use all
reasonable cere to kep them comfort
able, as iu this way it is much easier to
keep them thrifty.
AVhilo it is not nece;try to feed the
teams that r.rc not at work cs much as
those that aro at work will need, yet it
will pay at all times to supply enough to
keen them thrifty.as iu the end it will
cost leu than to allow them to run down
and then bo obliged to feed up before
tho ecaon for work opens. The beat
way is to begin iu good entson iucrcaa

viN-rcn CAiir. or live stock.
If jiy of tha farm ttoclt art
little
thin during the winter, they should re
ceive extra attention and food. If sheep,
separate those in poor flesh, or the old
ones from tho young, and feed according
to their condition, for even if there is
plenty of rack and trough room, the
strong will crowd away the weak, and
obtain the lion's share. If each is al
lowed only the food actually needed,
the results will be different. It does
not look well to see a flock of sheep in
which some are so feeble as to be hard
ly able to rise alone, whita others are
plump and strong. Neither docs it in
dicate good management for a farmer to
sell each year, during the spring, a half
dozen or more sheep pelts, taken from
animals that died from neglect. It is
worse than neglect to take the sheep
from the pasture in the fall in good con
dition, and in four or five months allow
them to gradually fall away in tlesb, and
die. With old sheep that are allowed
to become thin, it will require good
management to bring them through
alive, especially if they are to raise
lambs. Those in this condition should
have a liille ground feed four or five
times a day, and be so isolated that
others will not crowd or worry them.
Give bright clover hay, pure water, an
occasional apple or potato and they will
soon be in good condition.
The cattle should have warm quarters
at night, and spring calves should not
be allowed with the older stock. Borne
cows that are very gentle and kind in
the summer season, are very tyrannical
in the winter season. If there are no
accommodations to keep such ones
isolated, they should certainly be de
horned, or at least have the tips of their
horns provided with knobs. Ia fact all
cattle that arc confined should either be
dehorned, or have their horns thus pro
tected. The knobs prevent injury frooa
hooking, improve their appearance, and
cost but a few cents. If you do not do
this, romovo the tip end of the horn
ith a fine saw, rounding up with a
sharp knife, but knobs should be at
tached if possible. If the cattle aro
otiliged to go to the creek or pond for
water, the approach should be carefully
shoveled out, and it ice covers the sur
face, it should be roughened so that tha
cattle will not slip. This can be) done
in a cold day by throwing on snow, and
dashing water on it, or cut in the sur
face with an axe, as much stock is
seriously injured each winter by slipping
and straining while drinking. When
cattle are protected by an open shed,
there is occasionally one animal so illy
disposed, that all the rest are driven out
from the shelter, and the others dare
enter only when the boss if lying down.
Either confine such a one separately or
fit for market at the first opportunity.
Nail up a small box somewhere under
shelter, in which to keep salt at all
times. This is better than simply salt
ing them at odd timea.
Ity confining the cattle in stanchion
during the night and allowing them to
run at large during the day in pleasant
weather, a full grown cow or steer can
be kept in better condition on half a ton
less of hay, than by the old out of door
rough and tumble plan. Of course this
makes a little more work, but the man
ure, if piled up under shelter or drawn
to the field during the winter, will well
pay for the extra time; besides most
farmers havo leisure time duriug the
winter season, aud may thus tura it into
money.
If possible never allow colts and
horses to run loose with cattle. Colts,
if they are kept in good condition, will
certainly have their play spells and race
the cattle about at a fearful rate. Un
less cattle are dehorned, when penned
up, they will use their boms ia a dis
astrous manner, and especially seem to
have a grudge against horses, and will,
if possible, injure them at the first op
portunity. Colts should be halter
broken, led about aud tied up during the
day; treat them kindly so they will coine
to you at the call. This is easily taught
them by giving a little sugar, corn, or
other food, when they approach you.
Use the curry comb freely on both colts
and horses, whether they arrt at work or
not. It keeps the skin in a good healthy
condition, and gives the stock a neat,
trim appearance. American Agricultur

TFFECTS OF ALCOHOL, ON VHS BRAIN.
The specific action of alcohol, while pro
ducing a general dieturlntneeof and icjury
to all the vital organs, is especially detrU
nnntal to the brain, which ia composed of
numerous minute cells, of a gray, fatty
substance, with a large proportion of water.
Alcohol has a strong affinity for water, and
when taken in the stomaoh, being very vol
atile, a portion ot it goes immediately to
ward the brain, and disturbs the finely ar
ranged nerve-fiters and blood vessel so as
to impair their inability to nourish this
fatty sulwtanoe. In this way it renders the
brain inmpable of continuous logical
thought or action, ai.d the man is said to be
more or less "drunk," which is another way
of saying that the man's brain is paralysed,
or parched with inflammation and conges
tion. Tn is effect can be tested by putting a
drop of alcohol on the tongue; the smart
ing, stinging sensation proves that it is
parched by the alcohol's eagerness to absorb
or get at the water in the tongue; and this
irritating effect is the same on all the or
gans of the body, besides pro-lucing a crav
lug thirst. DiMiioreM's Family Magasine.
11 K KNIW WHKN TO QUIT.
"ITo, boys: t am going to quit this tim

you for years and tue Vtnting' we havj

But I must quit now. It may go a little
hard with me nt first, but in a short wu I i I
guess I will tie able to ri 1 myself of all de
sire for those jolly rants an t ravels that we
have had together. Yes, the resolution is a
sudden one, but it is none the less firm.
"You see, after I was marriei I quit yo.i

rctrogade moveiueut back to a minimum.
This lide like movement is sometimes clear,

in the prevalence of inebriety in towus and

seventeen years was indicated as the time
between the maximum and minimum ne-
riods of inebriety iu that country. Hborter

A Bat In Cnrlens Onlae.
"Writing from Bt. retersbnrg, our cor
respondent says: A curious case come
up for trial in St Court of Second In
stance next week, the details of which
are instructive. The plaintiff, an lady
took a strong fancy to a tiny lap-dog a
few months ago, which she declared was
tha prettiest and funniest little creature
she had ever set her eyes upon. The
dealer, however, dampened her enthua
ura by asking an exorbitant price for
tho animal, whose nimbl.ness and vivac
ity were certainly marvolous. A day or
two latet the lady called again, deter
mined to pay the extravagant price, but
like the Human king, when bidding for
the books of the Sybil, her offor was
refused and the price raised. Bhe acted
somewhat different from the pagan
monarch, however, and paying the
money, returned home with tho covetod
prize.
All her friends admired her new ac
quisition, but both she and they agreed
that it was somewhat queer that the
animal should be continually slinkini
away into dark corners, and generally
fighting shy of the light, while she had
no more success in trying to tame it than
if she bad tried her hand on a jaguar.
The general conduct ol the lap-dog was
highly mysterious, but it was a mystery
possessed of a certain charm which
rather added to its value than otherwise.
They fed tho animal with the best of
everything, and, one day, after it had
partaken of a hearty meal, its mistress
thought she heard an explosion. Look
ing round, she missed her Inp-dog, but
in its place beheld an enormous rat
standing on the dog's skin, in which it
hid been cunningly sewed up by the
dishonest dealer. Tho case will now be
heard by a Court of Second Instance in
connection with the question of the
amount of damages claimed by the plain
tiff. Tho dealer allcircs that be was de
ceived himself, having purchasod it for
aiapung London Telegraph.

found to his into isc surprise and relief
when the operation was completed that
the hiccoughs had vanished.
"Now," remarked the first gentleman,
"for teaching you that remedy I'll take
just one cigar with you. It is not a part
of the process, but it's worth the price,
isn't it? As for the sugar I have never
kuown it to fail to cure even the most
stubborn case of hiccoughs." New York

Tho great lens (weighing some two

Washington (D. C.) observatory whs
recently moved to the new station
on Georgetown Heights, and was a vciy
delicate piece of work. The glass was
packed in a special case wedged into
place with folds of soft paper placed at
regular intervals over its surface aud
allowing for expansion by heat, as in
that case a tiht fitting box might
"pinch" the glass and change the per

inner case was packed iu the heavy box
with plenty of soft packing iu between
the two, and then loaded carefully upon
a thick mattress in the bottom of a spring
wagon. It was tied in place with sev

sitting around it to prevent any possible
slip, the wagon started oS at a fuuercal

Housekeepers Should Seriously Consider. ,
If you want the best food, you will be interested
in the following facts, which show why 41 Royal"
is the best baking powder, why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal its sale greater in this
country than the sale of all other cream of tartar
baking powders combined.
The Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
It is absolutely pure aud wholesome.
It is combined from the most approved
and healthful ingredients.
It makes the finest flavored, most tender,
delicious and wholesome food.
It has greater leavening strength than
any other baking powder, and is therefore
the cheapest.
It never loses its strength, but will keep
fresh and of full leuvening power until
used.
It acts slowly in the dough, so that none
of its strength is lost before the baking is
completed.
It makes food that will keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, or that may be eaten hot
and fresh with impunity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all others in these respects are easily
stated. One is because it is made from chemically
pure materials; another is because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. It is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power. It has been the tandard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and con
ductor of its business ever since is still at
Ltjto head of It. management. Thus all the

Marketing in Southern Fraitcc.
Until you go to an opon air market in
the south of Frauce you do not know
what genuine pleasure can be obtained
from the usual prosaic proceeding. Just
imagine great, beautiful cherries at eiuht
cents a pound, strawberries about five
cents a pound, grapes, plums, pears,
peaches, nil in the perfection of beauty
and luscious flavor, sold on the tame
small scale according to our American
ideas. Green almond and filberts, ol
ives, mushrooms, fresh fish right from
the waters that nlmost lapped the edges
of the primitive market (for there were
but few booths, almost everything bein
displayed on cloths laid out on the
ground that sloped down to the smiling
sea), radishes ami lettuce just picked in
the quaint old time gardens on the ad
jacent slopes, and above all and domin
ating even tha baskets of snails with a
breath of summer, were the great pan
niers tilled with blossoms whose beuti:y
and fragrance would bring tremendous
prices in this laud of ours, where roses
sometimes are worth their weight in
gold. For tweuty cents one can fill a
carriage with mignonette, violets, carna
tions as spicy as they ate vivid; jasmine,
mimosa, heliotrope and great c rcadi and
pink roses that hang their head with
the burden of their own fragrance.

These are Facts
which
knowledge and skill attained by over a quarter of
a century's experience is available in its present
preparation. The consumer is not experimented
upon by changes of formula that are constantly
being made in other powders in an effort to get a
mixture that will not "cake" or lose its strength,
or that follow changes of proprietorship or manu
facturers. The Royal Baking Powder is always
certain and equal in its work; a teaspoonful does
the same perfect work to-day that it did yesterday,
or last week or month, or last year.
While the last teaspoonful in a can of Royal is
as good as the first, other powders lose their
strength after being made a short time, and par
ticularly after the can is opened.
The exactness with which the active principle
of each ingredient prior to mixing is ascertained
by expert chemists; the actual prohibition enforced
against the receipt into the works of an impure in
gredient; the care with which the materials arc
dried, coated and prepared before their combina
tion, and the precision in packing the powder so
that it shall be delivered to the consumer in the
perfect condition in which it leaves the factory,
are some of the details which go to make tha
perfect " Royal."
The same means are not employed by other
manufacturers. There have been a great many
imitations of the Royal, but no equals. Pure
materials are not employed, care is not taken in
their preparation and combination, while in the
great majority of baking powders alum is added to
give them strength, while cheapening their cost
The great popularity and general use of tha
Royal Baking Powder attest its superiority.
