FOOD FOB POfliTBT. The most expensive of all food we find to bo barley, an unturel. Not only is a considerable proportion thrown about and wasted bnt much that is swallowed is never digested, We thereforo give it as a change and an indulgence, and by no means as the Maple of their food. Indian meal is the bent staple, according to our ex perience. It is well scalded, that the swelling may lie done before eating, iiiKtead of after, thus avoiding various mnlndiea and perils from overeating. Broken rice, well boiled, is good to a certain extent. Mnlt dust is a valuable resource. The demand is becoming so great that probably it will soon cease to be a cheap food ; bnt while it remains so it is a real boon both to the fowls and their owners. They will eat almost any thing that is sprinkled with malt dust, and a nix-shillings sack of it goes a long way. A certain proportion of green food, and also of animal food, ia indixpetiHable. Lettuce leaves, turnip tops, cabbage leaves, celery, should be thrown to them. They ahonld have access to gras, to pick seeds and in sects; and it is well to put a fresh sod iuto the poultry yard whenever such a Valuable thing may be spared, All the worms and insects that come in the gardener's way should be pre sented to them ; and when insects are scarce scrnps of raw meat minced as fine as pin's heads should be given. Add finely chopped eggs for infant clicks find I think tho bill of fare is complete. As for the pepper corn, which old wives rocouimeud as' the first thing to bo swallowed, we reprobate tho notion as we should in the case of any other newix.rn creature. In fact, it irritates the crop very mischiev ously if it gives out its savor, and if it does not dissolve it ia nothing. American Poultry Yard. v mrii is rns mist cow? Every onco iu a whilo some dairy liisn nt:isrks that he doea not need a test to tell him hieh are the best dairy cows; he can tell by looking at them. Ho pint sella the fat ones aud keeps tho thin ones. Ignite often this is tho standard by which oows are judged : the thiuuerthey are when giv ing milk the bi tter dai ry oows they are considered. There is, of course, some reason iu this. We know that a cow that uses her food to put fiekh on her back, instead of putting luilk and fat into tho pail, is not the most profit able co for the dairy. Hut to jump to the conclusion that because cow is poor iu flesh she must of necessity Im a good dairy cow is draaiug a con clusion that is not justified by facts. There are some beef cows that will eat a good ration every day and keep in juet fairly good condition, while there arc others in the aame herd that on the same feed keep their ribs and bscks nicely covered with flesh. The lutter are good feeders aud the for.ner poor feeders. Tho latter have tho natual ability to make better use of th'-ir feed than tho former; they have feeding quality. It is just the sa i n ii with dairy cows, some are good feeders and some are poor feeders. Home keep thin iu flesh beciiitho they are using the greater part of their food to make milk and fat while others stay iu poor flesh sim ply because thiy have not the natural feeding quidity to assimilate aud digest flu-ir food. It is folly to judge of the dniry qualities of a cow by the amount of flesh hhu curries. There is but one iifcurnte wuy to determine the value of a cow for tli) dairy, aud thut is to iiHcirtiin tho uiimbe'r of pounds of butter fat rhe yields iu year from a given ntuot'.iit of feed. The cow that yields tho greatest amount of butter fat per year for the least cost per po-ind is the most valu able cow for the dairyman, and it does uot matter whi ther she kei-;is fut euuiifih for the butcher or so thiutliHt her ribs can lm counted. It does not mutter whether she weighs tivo hun dred pounds or a ton; whether she has tho beef form or the sn-.-allc d duirv form; whether she is black or white, fipotted or fawn colored, red or brin dled. Feiformanee is tho oulv reliable btandard. Kooky Mountain Uusbaud- UlttU, THK BEST BRANS, C. E. Htinn, of Oeneva, N. Y., writ ing in Garden and Forest, says : "Few vegetables have been hybrid ired or selected with greater care than tho bean, snd varieties suitable for several purjioses have been developed, until little improvement now seems possible. Among snapbeans, the new yellow-podded wax varieties, which are almost cylindrical in shnpe, solid yet tender, and of tho finest fibre and flavor, are quite superior to the old time flat, green-podded and stringy varieties. Among the best varieties are Wardwell's Kidney Wax, Yoscmite Mammoth Wbx, Golden Wax and Per fection. Of shell beans, the best are Dwarf Horticultural ; Golden Cluster, which is very productive and bears flat beans about two-thirds aa largo as Henderson's Bush Sieva, meaty and well flavored ; Hemisphere, a bean al most round, but solid and of extra quality, half of it being light brown in color, splashed with red. This color would detract from its value as a mar ket variety, but in tho processof cook ing the color to a great extent disap pears, so that it is one of tho very best for the kitchen garden. On the sta tion grounds, as the main experiment crop for the past four years, a pure white bean has been grown which has proved of extra quality and produc tiveness. It is very hardy and is proof thus far against tho anthracuose, so prevalent throughout this section. It has been called the Hatt bean, after its originator, but I am not aware that it has been offered for sale under any name, although it should be more generally known. "The search and selection necessary for a trne Dwarf Lima bean has been successful, and it would now seem hardly necessary to grow the pole Lima bean. Tho latter come to maturity a trifle earlier than the bush type when both are planted together, it is trne, but the dwarf varieties may bo started earlier, either in common beds or in inverted sods, or iu pots in the kitchen or greenhouse. When planted out they can be protected from early or late frosts with ease so that the season of bearing can be lengthenod out by the same method. Cheap cloth pro tection or wide boards can be used against frost. Two distinct types of these beana are now offered by seeds. men, Burpee's Bush Lima, with large flat pods, well filled with beans, and resembling tho old garden Lima, and Dreer's or Kuinerly's Dwarf Lima, with shorter pods and beans resembling in shape Dreer's Improved Lima. Either of these can be grown in the kitchen garden, and for market they will certainly crowd out the climbing varieties, since mauy more can be planted on tbe same area and no ex pense is necessary for polos." FABM AND GARDEN NOTES. For chapped or scratched toats ap ply cream or fresh butter. Give the colt some nice, bright oats, where it can get at them handy. The colt should have a good yard, lot or pasture to feed and exercise in. It is not necessarily true that "skim milk calves make pot-bellied ear suckers." If you raise sheep for wool, breed merinos; if for mutton, broed the heavy tyie. Market only tho best of your pro duce aud put it up in the most attrac tive manner. Pet the colt, so it will learn to know that you do not mean to hurt it. Do not scare nor tease it Do not skim-milk your calves too soou. Let them have some new milk for at least two weeks. A cow abused will not do her best. To make yon money each cow should be allowed to do her best. A nervous cow will "give down" milk better if in a quiet place securely fastened and milked very gently. " Early shearing is very desirable. It relieves tho sheep of ticks and enables the owner to take precautions against scab. Hslter break the colt whilo young, so that it will stand quietly tied. If you have beeu kind to it, it will soon learn to lead. It requires grain to make pork or Wf, but muttou of tho finest quality can lie made of nibbles here ami there of such stuffs as would otherwise bo a waste. rack your fruit honestly if you want to succeed. When you think you have secured a good customer dou't palm off an inferior article on him. If you do you are sure to lose him. In bnyiug or exchanging sheep give a thorough examination for scabs, ticks, lice and foot rot before turning them into tho flock, or you may be getting more than you knew of. A teat iu Caivlnir.

It is not a heat-giver, as exDeriment and ex perience have proved. It is not a bone-maker, as It contains none of the mineral salts which go to form the bones, teeth, or hair. And lastly, it is not a watur-food, since alcohol contains no water. It is perfei-tly clear, there fore, that alcohol cannot help in any way to build up the tUsuesof the body."

It is clear, then, that persons who drink beer or any other alcoholic drink for its nourishment, or us a food to "build them up'1 make a great mistake. There is no food or nourishment in it. It makes the drinker feel better for a few minutes, aud then leaves him with a reaction which makes him feel worse than liefore, and tnis all drinkers, even the most moderate, will acknowledge, it they are honest and if they will watch their own teelinits carefully.

A certain baker in business in a small town in Normandy obtained his supply of butter from a farmer in tho neighborhood. One dey ho discovered that the pats, which were supposed to weigu three pounds each, were not to the standard, and further examina tion revealed a steady diminution in the daily provision. At last the baker lodged a formal complaint against tho farmer, and tho affair was brought lie fore the local court. "Have you scales?" inquired the magistrate. "Yes, Monsieur lo Juge," was the reply. "And have yon any weights?" con tinued the Judge. An answer this time in tho negative was as promptly given. "But how did yon manage to weigh your muter? askeu the magistrate. Then the farmer related that evci since the baker had taken his butter he had returned the compliment by buy mg his bread. The baker supplied uini witn tnreo-pouna loaves, anil h liad used them as weights for his but ter. "It is his fault, not mine, if the weight is not correct," added the farmer, who was speedily acquitted ami lets tno court lu triumph with an escort of friends and admirers. Bince this trial tlie farmer is said to have been supplied with more than his duo provision of bread ; but he has taken good care not to fall into the opposite error, nnd the baker has now his three pound pats of butter, full weight, but not ou ounce more.
